our family is gone

Chapter 226
"Okay, you all rest in peace."

After Lance comforted the patients, he took the two of them to a separate tent next to them, and treated them differently no matter what.

Most of the patients can only be crowded together for centralized management, but Boudica can enjoy a separate space and priority care.

It's a pity that this doesn't have much effect on the condition. She has a stronger physique than those ordinary soldiers, but she is also tortured by the illness.

"Boss..."

Seemingly hearing the movement, Boudica fumbled with her hands, trying to find a reason to keep her going.

"I'm here." Lance quickly stepped forward to grab those hands, and then quickly explained the situation with joy.

"Don't worry, the witch who spread the plague has been killed by us, and I have also found a way to cure you, and you will recover soon."

Lance's reassurance greatly calmed Boudica's panic state of mind. The illness and blindness dealt a great blow to her body, but what was even more frightening was the constant pressure emerging from the boundless darkness.

Compared with the torment of illness, she was more afraid of dying in bed, with humiliation.

Grindel also noticed Boudica's identity. She never thought that she was a barbarian warrior. Why would she serve the imperial lord?
And it seems that the relationship between the two is not normal...

Under Lance's signal, Grindel checked Boudica, and it was basically confirmed that it was the same type of blight, and because of her better physique, she was in better condition than those ordinary patients.

As for the blindness, it is still uncertain, and it is necessary to wait for further treatment to know the specific cause.

"Let's start the treatment."

After completing the inspection of the medical camp, he immediately began to arrange manpower to allocate supplies to Grindale. To be honest, Hamlet's specialties are all kinds of herbs besides food.

This is also thanks to the old ancestor who studied herbalism, pharmacy, alchemy and other fancy things, and bought herbs at high prices in the town all the year round.

As long as there is no shortage of food, there are a number of medicine fields in the town, especially on the farm side. You don’t really think that the farmer had nothing to do with raising these more than 100 people?
"I'm going to use that cauldron and spoon to make potions."

"Okay." Lance knew that it was extraordinary equipment, and it was very likely to be a set.

It's a pity that it wasn't a sacrificial [gift], he didn't know the specific function, but from her request, he could probably guess that it was useful for the preparation of medicines.

To be honest, Grindel was also a little surprised that she really gave what she wanted, without even asking what it was used for.

This gesture undoubtedly gave him the greatest degree of trust.

"Finally, I need a place where I can be quiet and not be disturbed."

"Nursing home." Lance didn't hesitate.

The sanatorium was the place where the ancestor did his research. There are many empty rooms inside. It is not difficult to find a place suitable for Grindale to prepare medicine.

But the preparation of the medicine is not a very simple matter. The previous situation was because the two of them were poisoned and had not yet developed to the extent of the disease.

What's more important is that the bottle of dark green potion is a powerful antidote, which can relieve most of the poisoning.

But the price behind the powerful curative effect is hundreds of gold coins per bottle.

As for the refining method, although she didn't say it clearly, she can also guess that the materials needed are rare and the production methods are complicated, which is obviously not suitable for the current scale of infection.

Moreover, the difference between disease and poisoning is quite large, and the effect is not expected to be very good, so she needs to prepare an antidote specifically for the blight.

Lance didn't expect that she would take out a medicine of two or three hundred gold coins at random before. She turned out to be a rich woman, no wonder she didn't like the thirty gold coin deposit.

But her affairs were arranged, and Lance was stumped by another matter.

Looking at Paracelsus who couldn't stop the strong resentment with a mask in front of him, Lance couldn't help but feel a little headache.

He was indeed a little unkind in this matter.

Originally, he tried his best to take care of the patients, and wanted to find a cure, but now he directly let others take over, and that attitude clearly showed his preference for the other party.

It is equivalent to that she was originally in charge of a project, half of the structure was completed, and all of it was directly transferred to others by the above, which was somewhat like picking peaches.

And it's a type of magic stick that she hates very much, how to make her accept it?

"Well... I know you have a lot of questions, I am not confused, this matter has to start from..."

Lance roughly explained the situation of this battle, how to kill the witch with the help of Grindel, and how she prepared the potion on the spot to treat Barristan.

"Science is not a religion, and it allows different existences. Herbalism and mysticism have been around us for thousands of years. Don't you use various herbal materials in the potions you are preparing now?

What we need to do is to use scientific means to verify the authenticity and explore the principles, instead of blindly contradicting it. "

Paracelsus is obviously a little impatient with preaching. If she was really the kind of good girl, she would not go to steal corpses for research. On the contrary, she has a very strong rebellious and rebellious mentality.

Lance just explained the situation, and of course he knew how to appease her.

"You are a researcher. Just let her do things like take care of patients. You can also save time and take the opportunity to observe and record her treatment. This is the real way to expose her, not with words and suspicion."

Sure enough, Lance's words hit her sensitive point directly.

That's right, don't you have time to do research without taking care of patients?
"I got a lot of interesting things this trip, [Banshee Slime] [Witch Soup], and even a witch's manuscript..."

Lance said the same as the menu, and these things immediately caught her attention.

With these continuous research topics, she couldn't bear to leave at all.

Lance could feel her calm down, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief too.

He also wanted Grindel, and Paracelsus, as long as it fell into his hands, it was impossible to let him go.

After getting his inspiration, Paracelsus needs to rush back to the camp to record the situation of each patient, and if there is no effect, he will slap them both in the face.

That's right, Lance is also among them. When he chooses the witch, it means that he doesn't trust his own ability.

Although in fact I was indeed troubled by this weird disease, but that witch may not be able to treat it...

Lance has also left here. The news of his return may have spread in the town, and he must show his face.

On the central square, Lance stood on the high platform, and there was something wrapped in rags at his feet, and more than 2000 people from the town gathered under the stage.

Those who could come except those few farms outside had come, and they urgently needed to gain enough confidence from the lord.

"Quiet!" Lance raised his hand to press down the surroundings, and the restless crowd fell silent instantly, showing an unparalleled reputation.

"Those of us have just experienced banditry and natural disasters, and finally settled down on the land of Hamlet. I will bring you a stable job and a safe environment.

But the cannibal witch in the wilderness is jealous of our achievements, and deliberately drives the wild beasts to attack us, spread the plague, and want to destroy our peace.

We paid a great price for this. Many soldiers died in battle, large areas of land were polluted, farms were burned, and many soldiers fell into illness. "

Lance knew that the people below had never read the book, and they couldn't understand the complicated words. Only the simplest words could make them understand.

Sure enough, the huge price paid made everyone feel depressed, and the family members of the dead and injured even shed tears. This kind of emotion continued to spread, and the whole square was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

But this is not what Lance wants.

"but!"

A loud shout woke up everyone, causing them to look up at the figure on the stage.

"In the face of the witch's attack, the townspeople actively mobilized and all the soldiers resisted bravely, and finally stopped those enemies in the labor farm and successfully defended Hamlet from harm.

I led the team deep into the wilderness, and finally found the cannibal witch hiding behind, after a fierce battle..."

Speaking of which, Lance directly lifted the rag, revealing the ugly and ferocious head of the witch, and directly reached out to grab the hair and held it high.

"Attacked Hamlet, I have killed the cannibal witch who spread the plague, and all her minions have been killed. The threat from the wilderness has been eliminated."

Nothing could be more exciting than a witch being killed by a lord.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience immediately cheered, shouted, and tried their best to vent the pressure accumulated in the past few days.

But there are more things to be happy about than that.

"The cure for the plague has been found, and those sick will soon recover."

"All the reservists who died in battle are treated as regular soldiers, with a lot of pensions and preferential policies."

"..."

Lance announced several things they were most concerned about in succession, and then began to throw coins.

All rewards for actively responding to the mobilization of the militia, rewards for sentries who discover the enemy's situation, and rewards for outstanding battles...

Relying on these directly reversed the negativity in a short period of time, and even the townspeople burst into fanaticism.

Of course, behind each of these items is strong financial support, and what he said without money is just empty talk.

After the speech, Hamlet came back to life, which stimulated all the townspeople. As long as they are benefited, human beings will explode with great power.

But Lance didn't intend to stop. He entered the wilderness twice in a row, accumulating a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

There is also one more thing that needs to be resolved first, and that is to deal with the soldiers who died in battle.

Lance personally came to condolences, asking whether the pension is in place, whether those policies are implemented, and what difficulties the family still has.

In fact, most of the family members of the deceased have accepted the fact that they are also people under the rule of the empire, but they have never received this kind of treatment. They were not even notified when they died after being conscripted, let alone these treatment.

there has never been!

Death is so common in this world that it even makes everyone numb.

But now the lord came over to greet them in person. This kind of treatment made them feel that the sacrifice of their family members was worth it.

"You are a family of heroes. Your children sacrificed their lives for Hamlet. If you suffer any injustice or encounter any problems, please bring this certificate to me, and I will make decisions for you."

Lance took out a piece of parchment and wrote the basic information of the soldier on it, as well as the battles he participated in and the time of sacrifice.

It bears Lance's signature and a bright red seal stamped with [Family Seal Ring].

The family of the deceased took it with both hands, and some things need no words.

Visiting one by one, the reactions of those family members were different, but all tended to be negative, after all, this could not be a good thing for them.

Facing the family members of the deceased, even Lance couldn't help pressuring them crazily. This is not a good job, but he has to do it.

He needs to reduce the pressure on his family members, otherwise they will have problems, and it will be troublesome if a chain reaction is caused. The current Hamlet is still too fragile, and a slightly stronger wind can destroy it.

After dealing with these, Lance went back to the training camp and began to speak to the soldiers.

Reward soldiers who are outstanding in battle, calculate military merit, reward money, and promote.

There is no better psychotherapy for people in this day and age.

"The regularization assessment will start in the next few days, and I only want the best soldiers, because our enemy is very powerful.

Of course, I know some people are tired of life in the military, you can opt out, and I respect your choice. "

This sentence inspired their beliefs, and most of them were ready to put their minds on training and strive to become real soldiers.

But Lance still noticed that some soldiers still hadn't come out of the shadow of that day.

When those people came to Lance after the rally, they chose to quit, giving up their own interests, and also giving up their responsibilities.

"Well, no matter how you say it, you have faced monsters and killed them. You have proved your courage. I respect your choice."

Others recruit and control the army through violence. If they find out that they want to escape and become deserters, there is only a dead end, and now the lord actually let them go like this.

This situation instead made them feel guilty and began to hesitate whether their choice was correct.

"Don't be pressured. There are other ways to contribute to Hamlet. As long as you abide by the law, you are part of Hamlet."

Instead, Lance reassured, trying to ease their stress.

Through communication, Lance understands that these people's mentality has been destroyed in two battles against monsters, and after their mentality collapses, they are no longer suitable for life in the army.

To put it bluntly, cowards cannot be tolerated in the team that dares to charge against the monster. These people are no longer suitable to stay here.

However, the emergence of this situation also reminded him of one thing, that is, the psychological construction of soldiers must be carried out.

Only in this way can more soldiers be prevented from having the same situation, and related psychological counseling projects should also be arranged.

Calm down the hearts of the people, rectify the army, and have been going back and forth in the town to handle various affairs since I came back.

he is tired...
