Chapter 109 White Horse Knight
Hekou Town, Hospital for the Wounded.

This large bungalow covering a vast area was originally a timber warehouse.

Later, with the development of the commercial area, the Linmu Guild was relocated and abandoned.

Now it has been transformed into a small town hospital by a construction team. The outer walls have been painted white, looking neat and elegant.

Except for big cities, there were few specialized hospitals in villages and towns at that time, and they were often served by churches.

In addition to missionary work, priests are also responsible for treating patients and have some knowledge of herbal medicine.

But Hekou Town was located on the border of the Northern Frost Principality and there was no church stationed there, so Rhodes had to build his own hospital.

After the meeting, Rhodes left the castle and took Lunsa inside.

He checked the room.

The air was filled with the distinctive aroma of fine lavender.

There are hundreds of wooden beds inside the hospital, separated by white curtains to ensure private space for each bed.

With the end of the defense battle of Hekou Town, the lightly injured patients have been treated and left.

Most of those still lying here are seriously injured patients with broken bones and in serious conditions.

He is lying on the hospital bed, receiving treatment from the doctor.

Of course, although they are called doctors, they are actually ordinary residents who have received bandaging training.

Rhodes observed their treatment from the side.

Several residents in white gowns approached a patient.

Ignoring the latter's screams, he forcibly twisted his bent thigh back into place.

Then clamp it between two wooden boards and wrap it with layers of bandages.

They had no way to deal with the broken bones inside the thigh, and could only leave it to fate whether it could heal completely.

Even if everything goes well, after the patient recovers, there will be a height difference between the injured leg and the intact leg, and the patient will walk with an uncoordinated limp.

Rhodes shook his head, saying that he could do nothing about it.

The medical conditions in Hekou Town remain like this for now, and this is the situation after he made some improvements.

The original few local doctors were more like ignorant wizards than doctors.

No matter what the cause of the illness is, I will first cut you twice and let you bleed.

Doctors need special training in the preparation of herbal medicine, debridement and disinfection, the use of bandages, etc.

This knowledge will be the focus of the hospital's future development.

"You have seen the situation. Soldiers and residents who are injured need someone to take care of them. I plan to let the injured girls in the town take on this task."

Rhodes said to Lunsa behind him.

The girls in the small town rarely appear in public because of the ugly wounds on their faces.

On weekdays, they can only do some low-paid jobs such as laundry and sewing.

After Rhodes took control of Hekou Town, the army strictly managed it and bullying was eliminated.

The situation has improved, but not much.

The root cause lies in the girls’ own psychological problems. They are afraid to go out and see people and are afraid of being hurt again.

It is unrealistic to seek counseling from a psychologist.

The most direct way is to let them find jobs that prove their value.

The wounded in the hospital don't care about their scars, but the fulfilling work of the medical soldiers will surely help them get out of the shadow of the past.

As for Lunsa, as the daughter of Knight Loren, she had been taking care of the girls and gained their trust.

Both his identity and personality make him very suitable to be the head of the hospital.

The heroic girl following behind Rhodes nodded, understanding what he meant.

"Please rest assured, sir. I will do my best to guide them to complete the work of the hospital and will not let you down."

Lunsa assured confidently, and there was something special in her eyes as she looked at Rhodes.

The medical soldiers in the hospital will enjoy military treatment and belong to the upper-class professions in the territory. As long as the news is spread, there will be residents willing to come.

However, the lord was willing to leave it to the injured girls. This kind of human concern that sacrificed his own interests made Lunsa feel a tenderness she had never experienced before.

Especially when compared with the previous lord Mansaru, the contrast is even stronger.

Suddenly, Lunsa understood where the hostility of the maid named Lily came from.

After settling the arrangements at the hospital, Rhodes did not stay here for long.

Instead, he rushed to the gate of Hekou Town.

He received news that his cousin, Viscount Marcia, had rushed here from Pinnacle City.

He needs to go and greet it.

At the same time, Marcia at the gate reined in her horse and stopped moving forward.

Looking at the mottled city walls in front of her, she recalled the magical stories told by the caravans and pioneering knights on the way here.

Kelvin and Joyce are toyed with by the White Frost Cult.

After easily defeating the two's main armies, the latter turned around and raided Hekou Town.

Just when the pioneering knights and duchy nobles thought that this place was about to be lost, unexpectedly everyone underestimated the strength of the town's defenders.

They successfully resisted the siege force of the White Frost Cult.

Not only that, the local lords are even more secretive.

He charged bravely in the critical moment and killed Archbishop White Frost alone in the army formation, almost changing the situation of the war by himself!

The White Frost Cult was completely wiped out in Hekou Town!

Kelvin and Joyce from Dune Castle were in disbelief when they heard the news.

The two men finally stood up from the bed, but their eyes went dark and they lay back down on the spot.

On the way here, Marcia also couldn't believe her ears and thought she had heard the order of the two parties wrong.

But there were many caravans present at the time, and they witnessed the entire process of the war with their own eyes.

They were spreading the news excitedly, and under the influence of more and more caravans, people finally accepted this incredible fact.

The pioneer knights and nobles of the duchy suddenly realized.

Unlike Joyce and Kelvin who were eager to perform.

It turns out that in the back, which they had not noticed, the knight named Rod was the one who was hiding the most, and his strength was far beyond everyone's imagination!
Rhodes' fame was spreading widely without his knowledge.

"Sister Marcia, welcome to Bayou Town."

Rhodes rushed to the gate and warmly welcomed her.

Marcia dismounted and looked carefully at her cousin in front of her, with a pale golden light flickering in her eyes.

"Do you know how people outside are calling you now?" Marcia suddenly asked.

Rhodes looked at her doubtfully and shook his head.

Marcia's eyes were filled with envy as she said, "The end of the White Frost Cult, the White Horse Knight Rod!"

As Rhodes' fame spread, people no longer called him by his name to show respect for the powerful knight.

Based on his white horse incarnation on the battlefield, he is respectfully called the White Horse Knight.

After hearing Marcia's explanation, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, revealing a helpless expression.

This is indeed good news. Thanks to his performance on the battlefield, he has earned his own knight title.

And it is different from the previous Gardener Knight and Rosedale of the Duchy.

It does not have a derogatory meaning, but is a genuine knight's honor.

This will significantly increase his reputation among the nobles, equivalent to a comprehensive reputation of +2.

The only problem is that his father, Duke Bert, will probably be unhappy again.
