Some things are easy to think about, but another thing to do. Rhodes and Lyanna discussed setting up a field medical team before, but now it seems that ordinary doctors simply cannot bear such a job. First of all, they must be soldiers
, the talent is a doctor. Rather than being a doctor first and then a soldier. There is an essential difference. What a field doctor requires is not how good his medical skills are, but how to rescue the wounded as soon as possible. On the battlefield where arrows are flying and swords and swords are flashing.
Not everyone has the mental quality to calm down and treat the wounded. They can't even do it in training, let alone on the real battlefield. By then, a few shells may fall and scare them out of their wits.
After repeated testing, Rhodes had to give up this idea. Instead of selecting field doctors from the medical team, it would be better to directly select people with medical skills from soldiers, enter medical school for training, and learn first aid before graduating from medical school.
, and become a real battlefield medic.
After establishing this general direction, a large number of soldiers were selected and sent to the medical school to study. Fortunately, the capacity of the medical school was sufficient. However, there was a shortage of teachers. Lyanna had to serve as both the chief priest of Sarlacc and the medical doctor.
The director of the hospital, and at the same time, she had to perform some difficult surgeries herself, which was very difficult. Sometimes when he thought about Lyanna's situation, Rhodes felt that he was having a hard time embarrassing her. But before promoting new staff, he could only do this first
.
As for the harvester, there are only sketches and concepts. It will take a period of research before it can be turned into a real thing. After all, Rhodes is not an expert in this area. The mechanical matters can only be left to the dwarfs in Dulong City for the time being.
Solved. It would be much easier if engineers from the Empire of Nunn or mechanical masters from the Eternal Peak came. But these two still seem too far away now.
As the days passed, the young witch apprentice Bella found Denis in Kislev and became friends. From the letters sent back after review, it can be vaguely seen that their situation is not bad. After all, this is
Zirod took the initiative to send the witch he found, and Katarina seemed quite satisfied.
But Sibes was still worried, so Rhodes could only persuade him to be quiet and bear it down. It was too early to fight against the Snow Queen. Black Hammer Castle has developed rapidly enough. However, today, the population is less than 10,000 and it has a standing army.
Only a few hundred people. But when the Queen launched the crusade against the Ehrengrad rebellion, she immediately gathered an army of more than 50,000 people. It was incomparable in terms of strength. In addition, there was now a garrison at the Ehrengrad port.
Two gunboats are enough to crush all the docks of Blackhammer Castle in an instant.
But Rhodes also knew that the Snow Queen herself was not having a good life. After the Erengrad rebellion, the treasury was in deficit and heavily in debt, so she had to rely on robbing nobles to fill the treasury. The lives of civilians were already very difficult.
It’s terrible, we are below the food and clothing line, and there are constant complaints from all over the country. Now, even the nobles in the capital are beginning to be dissatisfied. Everyone is panicking, not knowing whether they will be slaughtered next moment. Today, the wealth belongs to you,
It's hard to say whether the money will be yours tomorrow or not.
…
"Sir, Captain Roberts would like to see you."
On this day, the sky over Blackhammer Castle was filled with gloom. After sending off Caroline, Rhodes sat bored in the office and was about to go to the school grounds to stretch his muscles. Then he received the news that Roberts asked for an interview. This old guy can be regarded as a black man.
He is a veteran of Hammer Castle. In the earliest days, when Rhodes was still impoverished, it was this old guy who took on the important task of a sea coachman, constantly transporting the minerals from Black Hammer Castle to the empire in exchange for gold and silver coins.
To maintain the daily expenses and development of Blackhammer Castle.
People like Celta, Diego, and Yeskovic all came after him, but now these people have already been promoted to important positions as leaders of various departments, but this Captain Roberts is still
Staying where you are.
The reason why Rhodes has never used him is because this guy is too powerful. He will bow to whoever is powerful, a typical bastard. When Laheim was the dominant one in Blackhammer Castle, the old butler Muros asked him to help him.
Wanting to do something on his own, this guy excused himself with various reasons, and finally stayed in the Empire directly, not daring to come back. After Rhodes returned to Blackhammer Castle and took care of Laheim, Roberts returned to Blackhammer Castle.
You can't say that such a person is bad, but he can't hold important positions. And since all the things happened, Rhodes' impression of him is not very good. Regarding this guy's sudden request, Rhodes originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it.
It only takes a few minutes, and there may be some useful information, so it doesn't hurt to sit down and listen.
The guard then allowed the old captain to enter the lord's office.
"Old friend, long time no see. Take a seat."
As soon as Roberts entered the door, Rhodes invited him to sit down. Anyway, this guy didn't do anything bad, and there was no need to keep a straight face towards him. In the face of danger, it is normal for everyone to protect themselves.
"Lord, there is no time for small talk. I came to you today because I have something important to tell you."
Rhodes had never seen Roberts look so anxious. As a smooth captain, he was well-rounded and would say a lot of things to please people. But it was different today. He risked offending the lord and went straight to the point. This made Rhodes laugh.
De was a little surprised.
"What's up?"
Rhodes asked with a frown. He stared at Roberts, really wondering what useful information this guy could provide.
"Plague, there is a plague in the empire, sir!"
Roberts said earnestly. Judging from his nervous and serious expression, Rhodes felt that this was not a lie. Besides, he didn't dare to say it. Rhodes still knew something about this guy's character. He was timid and afraid of things. If he didn't really
He will not talk nonsense if he has information. If there is a business that can earn 10,000 gold crowns, but at the risk of beheading, Rhodes can guarantee that Roberts would rather not do the business. And the deceived lord will also be punished.
Accountable. Besides, the plague is indeed a major event, let alone talking nonsense, otherwise it will cause panic among the people.
"When did this happen?"
Rhodes stood up, quickly walked to the door, and closed the door. The stone office was very soundproof, so you didn't have to worry about anyone hearing it through the wall.
"I don't know exactly when the plague occurred, but I know that officials in Osterland are busy fighting the plague now."
"What kind of plague is it?"
"plague."
Roberts answered decisively.
"It should be rat fever. I only learned the news three days ago. Originally, I planned to go to Baker Harbor to import a batch of fabrics, but my people there wrote to me and told me not to go for the time being.
To avoid the limelight, the plague has spread to Baker City. Although it is not too serious, there is always a risk of infection. I will tell you immediately after hearing the news. Sir, you are kind to me, Blackhammer Castle
Home to thousands of people, I cannot hide this news."
Roberts' answer shocked Rhodes. The so-called greatest enemy of mankind is actually not the Legion, nor the monster giant, but the plague. The powerful empire was once defeated by a plague, losing two-thirds of its population. Almost two-thirds of the population was lost.
The powerful human kingdom is on the verge of destruction. This plague is the plague. It was poisoned by the most disgusting plague clan among the rat people. Of all the disasters, Rhodes also attaches great importance to the plague. Because it is contagious and spreads to ten,
It spreads from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand, this is the most terrifying thing.
"Does anyone else besides you know about this now?"
Rhodes asked.
"No, even my wife doesn't know yet. I'll tell you as soon as possible."
Roberts answered seriously.
"Okay, I understand. You should go back now and cancel all your travel plans. You are not allowed to leave the port until the plague in the empire is completely over. I will convene an emergency meeting and ask all merchant ships to cancel their trips to the empire. Damn it, this is indeed a big deal.
Thank you for reporting to me promptly."
Rhodes put his hand on the old captain's shoulder and gave him an affirmative look.
"Go and call the chief steward Alves!"
After sending Roberts away, Rhodes immediately gave instructions to the guards around him.
