Episode 9 Grace and Enemies Don’t Forget
#
“uh?”
“what. Why is there no blood coming out?”
“no way······”
Silence came to the battlefield that had been noisy for a moment.
It must have been proven that there was no problem with Ian’s sudden move.
But there were still people screaming.
“It’s a coincidence! It was just that there was no blood!”
“right! How bad was the location? If I pulled it out like that, it would have hurt my lungs. I can’t even breathe properly.”
That was the moment.
“Cool.. Cool..”
Line spewed out a handful of blood.
It looked like his condition had deteriorated.
“Look! What did I say! That’s why I asked to call even the priest!”
“Get that little boy out right now! hurry!”
It was when the mercenaries were approaching as if they were trying to chase away Ion.
The centurion and the soldiers arrived.
“stop! Everyone get out of the way!”
“What is this! It’s a disgrace to the prince!”
As the atmosphere quickly deteriorated, Ion narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
In particular, the fight with the raiders is still not over, but it was very difficult to fight between the soldiers and the mercenaries.
That was then.
“Thank you. Prince.”
“!”
Line, who had been stunned so far, came to his senses. Isn’t that enough to say thank you to Ian?
The surprised mercenaries turned their heads toward Ian. How the hell did this happen?
Ian smiled bitterly and explained the reason.
“As I pulled out the arrow that had pierced the wound, the clotted blood came out. It should be easier to breathe now.”
It was as he said.
The proof was that Line, who had a hard time even breathing with an arrow stuck in her lungs until recently, smiled brightly. It was a line that was trembling without being able to speak properly. He was struggling now, but he was able to speak.
It was natural for the mercenaries to bow down to Ian with joy.
“I have sinned to death! A while ago we talked…!”
“I’m sorry, I’m crazy about my colleague’s injury…!”
When they laughed as if they had become Ian, they wept and ran away.
“line! Are you okay!”
“Are there any more painful places?”
But Ian stopped them right away.
“The treatment is not over yet. Right now, I’m just drawing arrows.”
Then some mercenaries grumbled, saying that this is not okay, but Ion was adamant.
“If you disturb it like that, you cannot properly treat it. There may be sequelae.”
“Ugh! Sin, sorry!”
Everyone was startled by the prince’s words and spread the distance.
Ian hurriedly examined Line’s wounds properly.
Of course, he pretended to be calm in front of the mercenaries, but the situation was not good.
‘The prognosis is poor if it even touches the lungs.’
Even if they were saved, it was difficult to live long due to the underlying disease. It’s impossible to let the genius strategist of the future die like this.
Ion, who hastily checked his chest, was startled.
‘It didn’t touch my lungs!’
His efforts were not wrong.
He didn’t seem to need to worry about the prognosis or the aftereffects.
‘Then it will be easy from now on.’
Ian smiled at that moment.
He took out the herbs he had obtained in advance from the mercenaries.
“uh? that?”
“The tears of Lorelin.”
I got it while pretending to learn herbal medicine.
However, the faces of the mercenaries looking at the herb were distorted.
“Why such garbage herbs……”
Laurelin’s Tears are a herb often used for bruises. However, the effect was negligible.
It’s a low-level garbage herb that can only be used by poor people who really don’t have money and need treatment.
myAlthough they do not color, the eyes of the mercenaries looking at Ion suddenly deteriorated.
Having experienced many nobles, they looked at whether it was the beginning of another.
When I saw him drawing arrows, I wondered if he was different.
In the end, the mercenaries we didn’t see approached us.
“I’m sorry. Prince. That rubbish is good for muscle pain. It’s not something that can be used in an emergency like this.”
The mercenaries took their medicines out of their arms.
He speaks politely, but his hardened eyes look at Ion as a child who knows nothing.
He didn’t say anything, but he ignored it and felt the gaze of Vicky as it was.
“You better write this. Still, it’s better than most herbs.”
“This is better than that idiot. It’s a direct cut from the wounds I got from the knife.”
That said, they were really expensive drugs. Precious drugs that the mercenaries consider as their spare lives.
All of them must have been taken out without any regrets in order to save the line.
But seeing it, Ion frowned.
‘It’s definitely a good drug, but… they’re all self-inflicted drugs.’
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of the drugs used as hemostatic ingredients are used for cuts or cut wounds. Fortunately, there were medicines used for internal wounds.
‘It’s all very painful. It’s a drug that’s too strong for Line to withstand now.’
In his previous life, Ian went to war and accumulated various knowledge. So he also had a lot of knowledge about medicinal herbs.
Besides, he even created an alibi to pretend to seek knowledge from mercenaries.
“Thank you from the heart. But for this wound, this herb will be more effective.”
He dared to reveal his knowledge.
Of course, the method to use from now on is not yet known future knowledge.
‘Too many eyes to see.’
In particular, the white man who summoned himself and watched him was a problem.
It should not be unnatural.
When Ion, nervous, glanced at him, Gerrard knew what he was thinking.
“What are you all doing! Enemies are right in front of you. Leave the treatment of the line to the prince, and raise your weapon! ”
He used his men to organize his surroundings. In particular, attracting the attention of the centurion and the duke’s soldiers was the biggest help.
‘For the peacock, it’s good that this method doesn’t go into your ears.’
Still, it was difficult if the mighty duke’s army got stronger.
As the centurion and the duke’s soldiers moved away at Nathan’s cry, Ion laughed and mash the herb.
But Gerrard looked uneasy.
“Are you really okay with that herb?”
Gerard asked with anxious eyes. He was strangely suspicious of fiddling in his arms. Ian said frankly.
“It is possible because it is an herb.”
“But that herb is only used for muscle pain, as the friend said earlier.”
Ian shook his head.
“I’m not going to put it on, I’m going to drink it.”
“yes?”
It wasn’t just that.
At the same time, some of Gerrard’s aides, who remained in Ian’s actions, screamed involuntarily.
“no! This crazy bird… no prince! What are you going to do now!!”
“That is the poisonous one!! If you do, you will never…”
Lorelin’s herb consisted of two terminating leaves.
Purple herbs and red poisonous herbs. The problem is that the effect of the herb is only a painkiller, but the poisonous herb has severe paralysis and hallucinations.
Even a kid from a rural village would never touch poisonous weeds.
But Ion is crushing all the leaves and mixing them together.
“Prince!”
In the end, the impatient mercenaries stood up violently, but Ion was confident.
‘Now it is known as a garbage herb, but later it will be different.’
Ian crushed his herb with his hand and put it into Rhine’s mouth.
line is painfulJi frowned.
“Ughhh…”
When Line tried to spit it out, Ian forced it into him.
“Be patient. You will be fine soon.”
“Wow!”
The mercenaries were restless at Ion’s act of mercilessly shoving poisonous poison in his hands.
But now, I couldn’t even dry it.
It must have been that the captain and the prince had something in mind and gave him poison.
‘Just do something wrong. Sleep like a prince and never leave me alone.’
The mercenaries still harbored distrust of nobles and royalty. He always pretended to know a lot, but in reality, he couldn’t distinguish between theory and practice, and this was because there were many cases that only caused problems.
In most of the missions, it was common for nobles to suffer damage from such games.
And so will this little prince.
With that thought in mind, it was time for the mercenaries to shoot Ion nervously.
“Ugh…”
“line!”
Everyone was startled by Line’s moans. It wasn’t because of the pain.
“Leader! This guy, his face…”
“okay!”
It was as if the pain had been diluted.
Gerrard looked at Ian with a bright face.
Ian laughed.
“These herbs provide a sedative effect with a small anesthetic effect.”
In addition, internal wounds and internal wounds are easily healed.
To the extent that in the future, it would not be called Laurelin’s tears, but a panacea.
“ah. Of course, this is the family vision I heard from my mother.”
The remaining mercenaries could not keep their mouths shut and looked at Ion. It was the face of what they had been thinking until now. And finally they knelt and slapped their foreheads.
“We did not trust the prince. I’m sorry..!”
“I don’t know how to say thank you, thank you so much…!”
Gerard, who was on his knees, also bit his lip, overcome by the joy that Rhine had come to life. Because he knew well who rolled the floor.
How valuable is this information?
“Prince. Why is it like this to the lowly ones who are not soldiers?”
But Ian just smiled.
‘That’s because they are the people who will become my enemies in the future.’
On the other hand, Gerard and Rhine and his aides are the people he should make his allies. It was only natural to unravel this information.
‘It would be nice if I could get a mercenary king with this kind of information.’
Rather, the problem is now.
“The line of genius strategists is lame.”
Ian looked at Rhine’s legs nervously.
However, seeing the bridge, Ion had no choice but to sigh heavily.
‘Ha…’
The wound on the leg wasn’t as bad as I thought.
It was a wound that would not be a problem if the arrows were drawn in time and herbs were applied.
just..
“Someone help me……”
“medicinal herbs! Bring some herbs here!”
There were many fatal injuries around.
Some people were hit by arrows more serious than the line.
‘That’s how it happened.’
He must have lost his leg after delaying the turn of treatment for the seriously injured.
Herbs must have been quite scarce.
But now it’s different.
“don’t worry! There are enough herbs to cure them all!”
“What? Were there so many herbs? You didn’t bring much as a spare, did you?”
“That’s because the prince asked about this during his break, so he dug up a lot!”
Gerard and his escorts, Galon and Nathan, looked at Ion as if they were horrified.
Because they couldn’t possibly know what that meant.
Ian laughed instead of answering.
‘I’m not going to lose my leg this time. line.’
But before that.
“The Book of Gallon.”
“Say it. Prince.”
“Catch the captain who led this attack.please.”
“!”
Ian knew.
The raiders captured by Nathan and the Duke’s soldiers in the past were bandits. After interrogation, he said that to the Duke.
However.
‘Can’t these really be ordinary bandits?’
Ian’s eyes twinkled, and for some reason, the centurion opened his eyes and said.
“The knights are here to protect the prince! If you leave those bandits to the mercenaries…”
Then Galon moved.
“Follow me, white man. Gerard, please escort the prince.”
“Yes?! Oh no, wait… Why are you escorting the prince to a mercenary? They gave the money to deal with those bandits and hired mercenaries! The escort is ours……”
“Just leave it to me. Sir Gallon.”
At Gerard’s answer, the centurion’s face turned white.
Ian laughed at the sight.
‘I’m glad. I thought Gerard would run out to get revenge on his comrade.’
But Gerrard was sincerely grateful to Ian.
‘If we went out to fight the enemy as we did our mission, there would be fatalities.’
Pretending to be carrying out the mission to protect Ion, he was able to heal the wounded mercenaries.
If I did something wrong, my subordinates and the mercenaries I worked so hard to raise could almost be shattered.
Gerrard bowed his head toward Ian.
“A mercenary never forgets his grace and his enemies. I will never forget this grace.”
There was sincerity in his eyes. Ian nodded his head.
‘With this, I owe Gerard, who will become the mercenary king.’
It was there to save their companions. It was never a bottom-up business.
Besides, you can get the support of the mercenaries, so one stone and two birds.
‘Because the duke’s breath does not necessarily need soldiers.’
A hand that never betrays, and can move without the duke’s knowledge.
But it was then.
‘!’
Suddenly, Ian stood up.
“Prince?”
Ion, who looked towards the forest, suddenly raised his voice.
“Gallon! there!”
The centurion flinched in the direction Ion was pointing, and Galon, who was moving, disappeared in an instant as if he had noticed something.
What he was headed for was the grass Ian was pointing to.
