Chapter 418 Doctor's Duties
The rain seemed to pour down endlessly, watering the land in Franche-Comté, but this was not a good thing for the refugees.
Due to the large number of refugees heading north to the Forest Territory, the original stone brick road was already so crowded that they had to step their feet into the mud, which made every step they took extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the refugee group was escorted by soldiers. The soldiers wore raincoats over their armor and held weapons. Their presence provided a little security for the refugees.
At this moment, a quick shout suddenly came from the back of the road amid the rain:
"Make way, the carriage behind can pass!"
When the refugees heard the shouts, they immediately retreated to the sides of the road to make way for the carriages. Soon, a dozen cavalrymen lined up on both sides of the road, followed by a convoy of more than a dozen carriages.
"If there are elderly people, children, or patients who have trouble walking, you can carry them onto the carriage!"
The refugees rushed to hand over their children and the elderly to the cavalry, who took them and placed them behind them, then quickly caught up with the convoy and handed them over to the people on the carriages.
Pros stood on the city wall, the umbrella swaying gently in his hand. From time to time, a few drops of rain dripped from the umbrella, falling on the stone slabs under his feet, making a crisp sound.
"Ugh--"
He sighed, his voice full of helplessness and sadness. The manor that originally belonged to him has now been expanded and transformed into a city. In the past, this would definitely make him jump for joy. After all, even the Archbishop of Midland, the highest religious leader of Midland, did not have his own city. However, seeing the helpless and exhausted appearance of the refugees, he could not be happy.
At this moment, Paying came over, stood beside Pros, and followed his gaze to look at the refugees. Paying's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sympathy.
"There is no way around it. Compared to villages in other places, they should be thankful that they have lived and worked in a low-tax area for several years."
Pros nodded, knowing that Payne was telling the truth. Earl John's low tax policy did bring them better living conditions, but it also meant that once the territory fell into war, they had to obey the arrangement and be forced to move to other places. This was the price they paid for enjoying peace.
"not to mention."
Pa Ying continued.
"This is for their own good. I heard that Yoda's army even used cultists. When they arrive at the Earl's Castle, I will definitely wipe them all out."
"Okay, you stay here and observe. I'll go back and take inventory of the various supplies in the city."
After Pros finished speaking, he hurried down the city wall and then came to his residence, which was also his office.
Just as he was carefully checking the supplies on the parchment, a servant stood at the door and said to Pross:
"Your Excellency, there is a doctor from the hospital outside the door. He said that the hospital is short of medicine for treating wounds and needs to transfer some from the warehouse to the hospital."
"Let him in."
After that, he wrote on a piece of paper that he agreed to transfer the medicine from the warehouse to the hospital. When he stamped it and was about to hand it to the doctor in front of him, he was very surprised by the face in front of him.
"Why are you still here?"
"Ok?"
The doctor frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He looked at Pross and asked doubtfully:
"Why should I leave?"
There was a hint of surprise in Pros's tone, and he asked directly:
"Didn't you come with the priests from the Hall of the King of Law? As soon as those priests heard that the Yodas were calling, they said hello to me and left. Why didn't you leave with them?"
"I can't leave because there are many patients waiting for treatment. I accepted the request from the local hospital to help them treat the patients."
Pros looked at the doctor in front of him, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes, but he still couldn't help but persuade:
"I still suggest you run away quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it after Yoda's army surrounds this place."
The doctor looked at Pross, his voice firm and strong:
"Your Excellency, I entered the French King's Seminary at the age of 12 and studied herbal medicine for 6 years. Then I worked in a local hospital for 6 years. During these half of my life, I was taught not to look away when others are suffering."
"If I, as a doctor, leave, who will treat the patients? These patients have the right to be treated by doctors."
"Do you think that I spent six years studying and six years working, just living for myself and not considering the lives of my patients?"
After hearing what the doctor said, Pross showed a trace of respect and emotion on his face. He sighed:
"You've said so much. Although I don't understand the profession of doctor, you are willing to stay and help us. I still want to thank you."
After saying that, Pros handed the parchment on the table to the doctor:
"You can take as much medicine as you need from the warehouse. Just remember to ask the warehouse manager to give me the list when the time comes."
At this moment, a soldier pushed the door open and said hurriedly:
"My Lord Bishop, the scouts outside the city reported that the heavy cavalry of the Yoda people appeared about five miles east of the city! After Lord Paying sent me to inform you, he led the knights out of the city to meet them."
Hearing this news, Pros' heartbeat accelerated instantly. He immediately stood up, walked out of the room quickly, and rushed to the east wall.
In his vision, the figures of the Crusader Knights gradually disappeared at the end of his field of vision. Meanwhile, the refugee team in the city, urged by the soldiers, was moving quickly northward.
Adam stood on the hill, carefully observing the refugee group in the distance with a telescope, with a smug smile on his face. He turned to the knight beside him and boasted proudly:
"Did you see that? We only needed one team to lure away the enemy's main force. This is the strategy of confusing the enemy with a false enemy that has been passed down in our family for hundreds of years!"
A knight hesitated for a moment and reminded quietly:
"Sir, if you don't attack now, the refugee group on the other side will be out of our sight."
Adam coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment when he heard this. He jumped on his horse and shouted:
"Blue Whale Heavy Armored Knights, move out!"
The knights behind him heard the order and immediately urged their horses, following Adam down the hillside and heading straight for the refugee group in the distance.
The soldiers in the refugee group noticed something unusual in the rear. When they saw the large-scale knight group opposite them, they immediately shouted loudly:
"The Yodas are coming! Run!"
For a moment, the refugees fled in all directions and the scene was in chaos.
Some refugees ran to the outside of the small town of Pros, kowtowed and shouted:
"Sir, let us in!"
Upon seeing this, Pros immediately gave the order:
"Open the city gates and let the refugees in!"
As the city gate opened, hundreds of soldiers came out and led the refugees across the chevaux de frise and trenches into the city.
Adam rode his horse at full speed, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He looked at the panicked refugees and the soldiers who were trying to resist in the distance, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. How dare these ant-like beings stop his mighty knights?
"My lord, something is wrong!"
Just as Adam was about to lead the Knights into the crowd to kill, a knight suddenly rode up to him on horseback, with a hint of panic in his voice.
Adam turned to look at the knight, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, and asked:
"what happened?"
"The Knights of Midland are coming back again!"
