While there are countless terrible legends about medieval medicine, there is actually a set of treatments for trauma that seem rather "crude" but are effective.

"Let Your Highness ...... Hold on. ”

After heating the dagger, Calujie cautiously handed it over to one of the secular knights. They were all members of the Church, and as disciples of the Holy Church, it was most basic to learn some ways to deal with external injuries.

John ripped a large piece of fabric from Sophia's dress and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth to prevent her tongue from biting her tongue from the convulsions of pain when it was time to treat the wound. Despite the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, Sophia reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at John.

"Brother......" Sophia blocked the fabric John was holding with her hand, "promise me one thing first." ”

"You say."

"I know you're going to investigate who orchestrated this assassination. But...... Whoever it is, don't be too impulsive. We are going to focus most of our attention on dealing with the Ottomans. Sophia lay in John's arms and looked down at the worldly knight who was praying, "This little wound...... It doesn't matter, last time my brother was so badly injured in Athens...... That's why we should get revenge. ”

"I know, I know...... Let's pull out the arrows first and stop the bleeding......"

"You promise me ......"

Sophia's eyes became serious, and she had a posture of "I don't agree that even if I die here today, I won't let you do it". However, John did not nod, but said in a rather soft tone: "Even if I don't say it, I don't even need to investigate at all." The ...... who can ambush the Imperial frame in this place Who else could there be. My dear sister, there are some things that are not all measured by benefits. It's about the face of the royal family of Valleo...... and the last bottom line of the empire. Since he wants the heirs of the empire to be cut off from this dense forest, it should be a fair deal for me to let his family disappear into history. ”

It was only then that Sophia suddenly remembered what Pedro meant by "last insurance" before they left Vienna. Although Pedro only serves her, it should be Pedro's responsibility to keep the royal family safe and to launch a counterattack against anyone who dares to threaten the royal family.

It seems that his brother never let down his guard against Frederick III and the Habsburgs.

"Not worth ......"

The little girl sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." After saying that, John crumpled the crumpled fabric into a ball, let the little girl bite it, and then parted her loose hair, "Close your eyes, it will ......be fine soon."

The arrow was just an ordinary iron arrowhead, and when it was taken out of the little girl's lower abdomen through the soft armor, Carlujie and John, who were in charge of holding Sophia's hands, obviously felt fierce resistance.

There was no protection in the mountains and forests, and watching the little girl endure these pains alive, the anger in John's heart swelled even more.

The secular knight was able to deal with the wound fairly quickly, but Sophia had already fainted from the pain.

"Sophia......

"Your Majesty, let the princess sleep for a while. In the next few days, I will be walking with an injury, so I need to save more energy. Calugie plucked a few leaves and wiped the blood from the dagger, "Let my dear Mr. Knight catch some roe deer and stuff to satisfy her hunger...... As long as you can get to the mountain pass fortress, you should be completely safe. ”

"Yes." John cheered up a little and found a fairly flat ledge to lie down, "Go find some vines and twigs to block the entrance to the cave, the fire and smoke may attract the attention of others." ”

After relaxing, he felt the soreness and exhaustion that penetrated his bones.

"You're starting to tell me to do this kind of errand now......"

"Am I the Co-Emperor or are you the Co-Emperor?" John raised his eyelids angrily, "As long as you can return to Epirus alive, this trip will not let you be wronged." ”

"You have to live it......"

……

"The only chance we can repel the Ottomans now is to induce them to storm the walls again. With the help of the city walls and the experience of General Livia in defensive battles, defeat turned into victory. As long as they are put in a dilemma in the dense forests and mountains of Pontus, then a fire can wipe out Muhammad's army in an instant. "Now our only task is to give the Ottoman commanders a reason to attack the walls. ”

"If it was a simple deception, I don't think Farah, as the most famous general in the Ottoman army, would not easily believe it."

"Of course, of course...... After all, the supply lines by sea are now unimpeded, similar to food shortages, and the reason for the low morale of the army is only a child would believe. Ossini pointed to Nikephoros' chest, "Your Majesty, you only need to make a little sacrifice to solve the problem." ”

"You can just say it."

"There are some things we don't need to shy away from, I believe that there will be Ottoman eyeliner in your army, you don't object to this, right?"

Nikephoros nodded naturally. Trabzon needed foreign trade and other exchanges to ease tensions in times of peace, and even after he became Grand Duke, friction and mingling with the Ottomans continued. This made the quality of his soldiers uneven, and of course there were very likely Ottoman spies. Mehmed II's intelligence system was pervasive, and Constantinople would not be so safe today.

"We need to put on a wonderful scene of killing kings for everyone to see. Including your former subordinates, but also the eyeliner of the infidels. The scene had to be realistic, and it had to be convincing to everyone...... Only in this way can Farah be deceived in the end. Osini laughed, "There was infighting among the commanders, and the Grand Duke of Trabzon and the Fourth Legion clashed, and finally the Grand Duke was seriously wounded and died, and the people in the city were panicked...... This kind of drama should be exciting enough, right? ”

"Why? The Fourth Legion is a reinforcement appointed by His Majesty, and I am loyal to His Majesty, and there is no reason for conflict to break out. ”

"There's no need for a reason at all." Ossini leaned forward and whispered in Nikephoros' ear, "As long as everyone in the city believes that you have died in this conflict, it will surely stir up the hearts of the people and the army who once supported you." Rumors also spread throughout the city. In this way, the drama will be realistic enough to let the big fish fall into our net pockets. ”
