Chapter 134

“I don’t think anyone would be as good as you.”

Macapell III frowned.

Who is better than Raymond in the Kingdom of Houston?

But Raymond shook his head.

“I’m sorry. It will be realistically difficult.”

Raymond was grateful that the young king thought highly of him. But being a great lord, that was something that was hard to even imagine.

‘I’m satisfied just by taking the best yolk.’

At that time, Macapell III said as if he had no choice.

“Then, there is another condition. Please set up Penin Treatment Center in the Province of Rafald.”

“……!”

“If even this condition is not accepted, there will be no ceding of the Rafald region.”

Raymond noticed Macapell III’s true intention.

‘He wants me to establish a Penin Treatment Center to take care of the people of the Rafald Region!’

Raymond nodded.

That’s about it.

‘I’ll have to stay in the fiefdom for a while until we are done with the post-war treatment. It wouldn’t hurt to set up a branch there.’

No, come to think of it, it was a must.

The Rafald region actually became a battlefield. The two armies are still clashing there as to speak.

As such, people living there have suffered great damage, and many people will need treatment.

‘Currently, the place that needs the help of the Penin Treatment Center is not the capital, but the Rafald region, which was covered in the fires of war.

In addition, the rapid restoration of the Rafald region was also important to Raymond.

The Rafald region needs to be rejuvenated, and it will be his cash cow!

As a healer, he will treat patients and help with post-war recovery

Thus, the establishment of the 2nd Penin Treatment Center in the Rafald region was decided.

“Okay. I will obey your Highness. I will establish a treatment center in the Province of Rafald.”

“Thank you.”

The young king said with regret.

“Honestly, I wish you could become the High Lord of the Rafald Region. If you are the light of the Houston Kingdom’s army, you’re more than capable to lead the people of the Rafald region.”

Raymond made an awkward face.

A person born out of illegitimacy such as himself to be a great lord…

That seemed difficult no matter how much he thought about it.

‘Another great person will rule the Rafald region. As a healer, I must simply treat the patients.’

***

Meanwhile, at the same time in the Houston Kingdom Army.

After being pushed back like crazy, they were barely able to reorganize their battle lines in the Rafald region.

King Oden has joined!

“His Royal Majesty the King has come!”

“Long live His Majesty the King!”

The shabby mauled royal army met King Oden.

Oden looked at the barracks with low-set eyes.

“Report on the situation.”

“A total of 10,000 kingdom troops were killed in the enemy’s counteroffensive. Following their offensive, a similar number were killed. Excluding wounded soldiers who have difficulty in moving, the total available force is about 15,000.”

15,000!

The initial number of troops deployed was 45,000, resulting in the loss of as many as 30,000.

The conditions of the Allied troops in reinforcements were even worse.

Of the 25,000 reinforcements, only about 5,000 are alive.

The majority of them were the Clever Kingdom forces under Prince Enrique and the Peninsula Kingdom forces floating in the sea, while the rest were completely annihilated.

‘I can’t believe I suffered a defeat like this. Should I have taken action even though it was impossible?’

King Oden looked up at the sky.

In fact, he was supposed to join soon after the war began.

But there was a reason why he couldn’t.

Suddenly, he had a health problem!

Although it was treated as a top secret and no one on the battlefield knew about it, it was not a light issue.

Although he was receiving intensive healing from the highest level, the problem was still not eradicated.

‘Count Hellien is still trying to stop me from going forward, saying that this could worsen my condition.’

But it was impossible to do nothing.

“For now, we will gather troops and go on defense until additional troops arrive.”

“I understand, Your Majesty!”

Oden had arrived in a hurry with only the Royal Knights. Additional reinforcements were scheduled to depart from the capital later.

The problem is that it is questionable whether the reinforcements will be able to reverse the situation even if they arrive.

‘…Perhaps it will be difficult, unless a miracle happens’ thought Auden heavily.

He had an accurate grasp of the situation.

In fact, it was a defeated war.

Unless a big miracle happens, things won’t change.

‘All the areas that had already been occupied in the central part of the country were retaken. It’s only a matter of time before Rafald falls into their hands again.’ Oden unknowingly bit his lip.

It reminded him of Biotin Castle.

Raymond was in the Biotin Castle.

‘And yet, there was no news.’

Biotin Castle was probably recaptured by the Droughton Kingdom Army.

Since then, there has been no word on what happened to Raymond.

“…….”

Sting.

Oden clasped his fist at the strange sensation he felt in his heart.

‘I will prove it through this war. I will proudly prove that I, a lowly bastard, can serve the Kingdom of Houston just as well as those of noble blood.’

King Oden recalled what Raymond had said before the war.

As Raymond said at the time.

No, he played more than that.

Not only did they conserve power and boost morale through patient treatment, but they also eliminated corruption in military payments

Not only that, but from the beginning to the end of the war, he intervened in most of the great victories.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Raymond, they wouldn’t have been able to push Kingdom of Droughton back that much.

He has only received cold treatment and persecution, let alone any affection, but he grew up better than anyone else and made such great contributions.

Oden, who recalled those facts, couldn’t say anything.

‘How should I express the emotions I feel in my heart right now?’

‘I he should be a child that shouldn’t have existed. I thought it was right for a king to treat him like that.’

But was that really the right thing to do?

Maybe that was the most foolish mistake he had ever done?

That thought struck his heart constantly. It was a sharp sensation as if he was being cut with a sword.

What if Raymond’s death is confirmed like this?

“No. Not yet. It is still too early to make any hasty conclusions. With Raymond’s resourcefulness, we would have been able to escape the crisis.’

Then, one side of the barracks became rowdy.

“What’s going on?”

“It looks like additional troops have joined us. Ah, the troops at Biotin Castle!”

Oden opened his eyes wide.

Bioton Castle!

That’s where Raymond used to be.

As expected, they retreated safely!

Oden felt a great sense of relief at the moment, and was embarrassed that he felt that way.

‘Relief about what?’

At that moment, Oden realized his feelings.

He ignored him and pretended not to know, but Raymond was his son.

And that he had committed an unforgivable mistake against Raymond.

“Ha”

King Oden lamented.

‘I’ve committed a sin that cannot be washed away.’

Even as a king representing a country.

As the king of the Kingdom of Houston, who revered chivalry, he could not treat an illegitimate child as his son. But because of that responsibility, Raymond suffered greatly and his heart must have festered.

solely due to Oden’s fault.

“Your Highness?”

At that time, Marquis Aris, who was beside him, asked anxiously.

“No. I will go to see those who have returned.”

To be honest, Ouden couldn’t figure out what to say to Raymond.

It wasn’t like he could undo his past mistakes.

With that in mind, he took a step forward.

“Baron Penin… He didn’t come?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Sir Ingel fell to his knees.

“Baron Penin has gone south to the Winter Palace to save the King of Droughton!”

“……!”

King Oden’s eyes got bigger.

To save the King of Droughton!

Oden realized Raymond’s intentions at once.

He set out to create a miracle that would turn the tide of the war!

“…….”

Oden clenched his fist.

Everyone ignored it.

Raymond, who was ignored even by his father, left for the Kingdom of Houston.

An unexplained emotion raged through his heart as a sigh flowed past his lips.

***

At that time, Raymond.

‘If we overcome this crisis, I will receive a land of territory! I will be super rich for sure! I can do it!”

They were crossing a desert to meet the Lan people.

Thinking about becoming super rich after the war, Raymond surely felt energized.

However, Christine and other people looked worried when they saw him.

“Isn’t it hard because it’s the desert, master?”

“It is okay. It’s not that hard.”

‘My stamina stat is high, so I can survive even in the desert.’

His current stamina is a whooping 59!

‘I don’t know exactly how much physical ability this number refers to, but it wasn’t very hard even when they’re in the desert.’

But Christine, unaware of the fact, looked away.

“Don’t lie. It must be hard.”

‘It is hard for me as a sword expert. There is no way it wouldn’t be difficult for master, who is an ordinary person.’

Christine sighed.

“I can’t believe you go through this kind of trouble again for the sake of the patient.’

They heard and knew about Raymond’s plan.

Solving the chronic illness of the Lan people suffering through medicine!

So ask for help!

Christine thought that Raymond’s emphasis was on treating Lan’s disease.

People talk about him being a genius strategist and all that, but Raymond’s essence is ultimately a fool who only cares about his patients.

’It is clear that the reason he said he would receive help from the Lan people was to use this incident as an excuse to treat the Lan people’s disease.’

It was a completely wrong guess, but Christine’s bean pods were too thick.

“I know you’re overdoing it because you’re going to treat a patient. But don’t do that and let me just help you.”

“……”What?”

“Your face is pale and you look like you’re about to collapse. I’m strong and comfortable, so please accept my support.”

For your information, Raymond’s pale face was because he was usually only in the building and had fair skin.

“No, it’s okay…….”

‘What kind of nonsense is this princess talking about?’

As soon as he shook his head, another person got angry and stepped forward.

It was sweet potato Elmud.

“No! Please let me help you, master! No, just ride on my back!”

“…”

“It is the happy duty of the relief engineer to be the foot of the master! Let me fulfill my duty!”

It was a determined cry, as if he was about to retake the Holy Land.

Then another person came forward.

It was Hanson, the original captain.

Unlike others who have mastered swords, he has a pale complexion and is physically weak, but offered to support Raymond.

“You can’t do that. As a disciple, it is my responsibility to become the master’s feet! Pick me!”

And then the three people looked into each other’s eyes in the air.

How dare you! The master is mine!

It was chaotic in his eyes.

‘……It’s hot, so can you all stop competing?’

It was fortunate that Lyndon was not there at least. He stayed to take care of Macapell III. He entrusted the job to Lyndon, who despite his light personality, had surprisingly steadily built his skills.

It was a moment wherein he took in a deep breath.

“Be careful!”

Faaaah!

Light flashed from the high sky. It was an arrow!
