Chapter 301 Medical Support from Cowburg
Then as usual, a figure exuding a faint fragrance ran into Lan's arms.
"Long time no see, Ciri...has grown taller again?"
Lann felt the dizziness in his head getting stronger under the violent shaking.
But holding the princess in his arms, he suddenly had an unreal feeling. The little girl who could only reach his waist not long ago could now reach his chest.
Geralt, who was behind Lan, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the intimate scene between the two.
"Welcome back, young master."
The old butler bowed slightly towards Lann, and asked his grandson to pass the basin and towel to the Duke of Cintra.
But Lann didn't have much thought about this now. After all the soldiers passed through the portal, he immediately turned to Mossack who stopped casting spells.
"Uncle Mossak, before I came back, we just solved the crisis between Queen Meve and Demavi. They were attacked by the Nilfgaardians, and Queen Meve almost lost the entire land of Rivia...even Even Lyria was almost lost."
"Nilfgaard is definitely not the only one that has taken action. Are the armies in other directions taking action? What's the reaction from the north?"
Lann was concerned about the war as soon as he landed. After hearing Lan's question, Mossak's expression became slightly more serious, but it was far from serious. Obviously, the situation was not a crisis.
He thought about the information Lan brought back and asked, "Since Lan you came back from there, you should have solved the problems of Miwei and Demavi III, right?" By now, the old
man Druid has also developed confidence in Lann.
Lan also briefly communicated with Mossack what he had done in Livia, and Mossack was amazed.
Then the old Druid shared his own intelligence with Lan: "For the invasion of the Eastern Army, the response from the North was not very intense. Only Henselt of Kaedwen and Demavi III have had a long-standing grudge. It seems that He wanted to take this opportunity to invade northern Aedirn." "
However, his intention was soon discovered by Foltest and Vizmir. Together, they warned Henselt and gave up the idiot's idea. Since now Lann, you have helped Livia stabilize the front line, so there should be no more turbulence in the future." The
Northern King on the front line was being beaten, but Henselt, who was also a great northern country, wanted to stab him in the back at this time. It is this kind of king that brings down the matching mechanism of the entire North.
Fortunately, the previous Northern Conference allowed the kings of other major countries to reach a consensus of wishes, otherwise Kaedwin might really have given Nilfgaard an assist.
"As expected of him!" Lann sighed sincerely.
Then Lan asked the question he was most concerned about: "How is the situation on our front line? Are the Nilfgaardians taking any action?" The
old Druid touched his beard and nodded as expected: "It was the same on our side at the beginning. The southerners launched a surprise attack on us about a week ago. The intensity of the attack almost made us think that they wanted to launch a decisive battle. Marshal Visekid and I had no choice but to go into battle in person to repel the enemy. The first wave of attacks."
"But after that, our support came." At this point, a smile appeared on the druid's face, "Easter came with the Skellige people."
Lann With a look of surprise on his face, he gradually became excited as Mossack and Enns explained.
...
Theoretically, no matter how fast the Skellig ship is, it will not reach Cintra in such a short period of time, but this time the Skellig people went to the mainland with all their strength to support, and East not only launched He invited many of the seven major families in the archipelago and even the druids of the Oak Ring.
The druids who originally followed the natural way were reluctant to participate in such a war with a clear stance. But first of all, East promised a lot of benefits as the king, Mossak also contributed a lot as a prestigious mentor-level druid, and what Lan did in Skellig was to kill the German Rui's traitor and rescued Druid's apprentice - also won the favor of many druids.
So the druids still sent a small team. They gathered several spellcasters who were proficient in weather magic, and led by Fetov, the Sky Operator, summoned wind currents, allowing Skellig's fleet to sail down the wind, many times faster than planned.
Not only did they arrive at Sintra early, they even had time to detach a fleet to plunder Nilfgaard along the way, accidentally cutting off several small food routes. As a result, Nilfgaard's logistics no longer dare to operate in coastal areas, and even inland waterways are kept as far away as possible.
"As expected of Skellig." Lann admired sincerely.
"In addition, the magic of Ms. Triss and Ms. Yennefer has also given a lot of help on the front line. Mr. Reso and other members of the Snake Faction also organized guerrillas, using their rich jungle experience and alchemical poison methods to Harass the enemy's camps and logistics routes for the first time." Enns added with a smile.
"Mr. Geralt's companions are also here, that is, the master demon hunters of the wolf sect. They are acting together with Master Leisuo." The
old butler chuckled softly: "Although this is something that Marshal Visekid cannot hear. I will be very unhappy when I arrive, but I must say - the role played by the master demon hunters is no less than that of the frontal battlefield." "As
expected of them." Lann praised happily again.
Kolgrim and Geralt couldn't help but smile, and only Korn shrugged helplessly at Lan.
"I told the frontline commanders about Lan's return today, and now they are all preparing to return." Mossack said, "We need a formal combat meeting to formulate future plans."
" It's time to take back Cintra."
"Of course." Lann narrowed his eyes after hearing the Druid's words.
Seeing that Lann and Druid had finished their exchange and had begun to work, Enns also took out a notebook from his arms and sorted out the matters that needed to be informed to Lann.
"The combat meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night. Everyone on the front line needs some time to get back. Some of them also need the help of Mossak Consultant's portal." The old butler said, and the Druid nodded slightly. This is It was agreed before.
"Before that, Master, you can wash up, take care of your armor, and then go on a tour of the town to announce your return to the people." Enns emphasized, "In addition to the Skellig and the people brought by His Majesty East, In addition to Mr. Geralt's friends, there are many other allies who need to meet with you."
Although he had just returned from Mahakam, he could not relax for a moment. But in extraordinary times, Lann is not a person who pays attention to these things.
He even wanted to save the time of washing up and go straight to work, but this kind of dishonorable behavior was not allowed by Enns.
"What new allies are there? Are the mercenaries from Kevir coming?" Lan asked curiously.
"No, the [Free Corps] people are still on the way." Enns nodded and confirmed Lan's guess, but there was a slight gap. "Skellig's Druid Master did not stop after his fleet arrived. They continued to use the portal to go north to find Kevir's fleet, and then used weather magic to help the ships accelerate." "
They will be able to reach Sintra in about two days, and they will be able to participate in our counterattack."
Lann nodded with satisfaction, and then felt a little strange: "It seems that you are not in a hurry to see them. Who are the allies you are talking about?"
Enns smiled slightly: "They are the gentlemen from Cowburg."
...
"Giant Demon, how many times have I told you, these are alcohol used for disinfection, alcohol! They are strategic materials, not used to satisfy your greed!" A hoarse roar echoed in the camp
.
The person being scolded was a terrifying monster whose body was covered with solid rock and would be classified into the category of [Ogre] academically.
But this monster was hunched over like a bewildered child at this moment, banging his head with his fists, his face full of grievance.
"Alcohol is better than wine." The Troll who was turned over from the Kaer Morhen Mountains by Lan said dullly, "Supplies, Troll, forgot..." "Damn,
this is not my first This is the first time I’ve told you this! When you drink, do you pour alcohol into your brain, and then kill the memory like a germ?” The one who jumped in front of the three-meter-tall
troll was a height of A halfling who only reaches the troll's thighs.
He had a red beard, messy red hair, and bare feet. He almost couldn't help but jump up and beat the troll in front of him who refused to listen to any warnings.
"Teacher Miguel, please calm down..." Everyone knew that Milo would not hurt the troll even if he got tired and fell down, but might injure himself instead. In order to avoid a real conflict, students close to him immediately rushed to stop Milo.
This student has hair that is more fiery than flames, but his temperament is as calm as water.
"Shani, let me go! I must teach this guy a lesson today!"
Even though Milo is short in stature as a halfling, the strength brought by his strong body is far beyond that of the newly grown up girl Shani. on.
After Milo was pulled by Shani, he kicked the troll a few times to vent his anger. Only then did his other students pounce on Milo and pull him back in a familiar manner, pulling the angry halfling and troll away. The devil separates.
Then more students came forward, and a dozen of them hurriedly pushed the stunned troll out of Milo's sight. This big man seemed not to understand the situation, didn't appreciate it, and didn't want to go out.
——When Lan arrived at the scene, he saw such a chaotic scene.
He was pleasantly surprised.
Milo Van Der Beek, the Cowburg medical instructor nicknamed "Rust" and the future head of the field hospital in the Northern War, actually came to Sintra at this time!
The arrival of the Duke of Sintra immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the chaotic scene suddenly became orderly. All the medical students and onlookers saluted Lan.
The troll's eyes lit up even more, and he shouted "Lan, friend!" and walked forward with a rumble. The eyelids of the guards on the side jumped up, and they almost thought it was an assassination.
Then, as Lan waved his hand behind him to signal to the guards "It's okay", the Lion of Sintra and the Troll collided with each other with a "bang", slapping each other's backs with a rumbling sound.
"Lan, you're getting stronger." The troll smiled even more happily, "Friend!"
After briefly communicating with the troll through body movements, Lan quickly turned around and looked at Milo, Shani, and Behind them were a group of young people who looked like students.
"Sorry, Mr. Milo. I will make it clear to the troll later not to drink alcohol again. It listens to my words." Lann smiled like a spring breeze, which made the female students lower their heads. "You can't imagine that I'm here." How happy I am after seeing you."
After saying this, Lan looked behind the halfling doctor, as if he wanted to find more scholars.
"The last time I saw you, you were a count, and now you are a duke... I don't know whether I should congratulate you or not." Milo shook his head and began to use honorifics in his words. In the past, he could not be afraid of power at Cowburg Academy, but now that he has decided to come to the territory of Sintra, he has to do as the Romans do.
As for what he said "should I congratulate you?", on the one hand, he was referring to Lan En's promotion, and on the other hand, he was referring to the current situation of Cintra, which was not a good one.
"You don't have to look back. The formulas you gave me at the beginning really fascinated the scholars. Even the dean asked me if I could arrange an interview for you to be a professor." Milo shook his head. "After knowing that you were the Earl of Sintra, there were indeed many old guys who wanted to come to Sintra to discuss academics, but the war made them retreat... They were all old professors with rich knowledge and could not stand the trouble. ."
Lann nodded clearly: "After peace comes, I will write to them again and personally invite the scholars to come." "
Ha, then they will be very happy." Milo laughed, "There are There are many people who study physics and are very good at architecture, which will also be very helpful to you in rebuilding the country."
Then the halfling pointed behind him: "At this time, the only ones who are willing to come are me and some brave medical students. This It's a good internship environment, and students can also come into contact with far more 'specimens' than usual."
Milo laughed without scruples as he spoke. What he said was very rude, but Lann listened. Is elated.
Even if they are "internship" students, they are serious medical students from Cowburg College, and they are much more reliable than the unlicensed doctors in various rural areas, small towns, and even big cities in this era.
With this group of students, the logistics support of the soldiers has not only been upgraded to a higher level!
"Thank you very much for your help, Milo." Lann nodded solemnly, "I will send my most trusted attendants and lead the most elite guards to protect you, and you will receive the best treatment in Sintra. "
After hearing Lan's promise, Milo returned the greeting seriously, and then laughed. Outside of Cowburg, academics like them rarely get the real respect of the aristocracy and rulers, so Lann's courtesy was very useful to him.
"Speaking of which, Duke Lannister." Milo suddenly sighed, got close to Lan, and whispered, "This time, in addition to the people who really want to come to the front line to save lives and heal the wounded, there are many people who were killed by you. Attracted by his fame, the Lion of Cintra..."
...
Besides, Ciri, who was running over with Lan, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
She glanced among the group of medical students.
A group of male students looked in admiration. Ciri has seen this look a lot, probably because she listened to too many poems in the tavern. Even young people who are academics admire real knights.
A group of female students looked longingly in their eyes. Ciri had seen this look a lot, and it was everywhere in Cintra. Shirley was also relieved that there could be nothing going on between the person with this look and Lan.
But soon, Shiri locked her eyes on Shani, who was just coming of age behind Milo. The look in this female student's eyes was not just admiration. It would be impossible to cultivate that look without some story happening.
And...
Xili frowned slightly, why is it another red-haired one?
