Chapter 319: Morris's Value

Steward Osborne has no interest in watching Caesar's performance anymore, and now the newly baked Caesar, Duke of Apulia, has been regarded by Steward Osborne as an ungrateful white-eyed wolf who has taken the benefits of William and Normandy without knowing how to reciprocate.

What's even more frustrating is that he tried in vain to seize the authority and territory of the Holy See, which he would never allow, and finally under the operation of William and Osborne's butlers, the disobedient Benedict IX was removed from the throne, and Gregory VI, who was willing to cooperate sincerely, was put on the throne of the Holy See, and Caesar must not be allowed to interfere.

After whispering to the spy hiding in the darkness, Steward Osborne headed straight to Maurice with his entourage. Welf and the camp of Italian mercenaries.

"It's so miserable, looking at the situation, there are at least nearly a thousand wounded." Steward Osborne watched the busy figures in the camp, either helping to carry the wounded, preparing herbs, or assisting the doctors in controlling the patients, who were covered in blood and uncomfortable.

"Soldier, come here." Butler Osborne beckoned to a patrolling mercenary.

"The little one has seen Steward Osborne." The soldier was genuinely terrified.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"That's right, Lord Steward, our Italian mercenary regiment was attacked by the Knights of the Church in the previous battle, and suffered heavy losses, more than 500 brave mercenaries passed away forever, and more than 300 were seriously injured, and more than 600 were injured although they were relatively minor, but they still needed a long time to recuperate, and it can be said that more than half of the casualties were killed.

In order to comfort the mercenaries and take care of the wounded, Master Morris has always been in the ward to take care of the wounded, and he has not closed his eyes for two days. The patrol soldier said with a sad expression and tears in his eyes.

"Take me to your regimental leader, Morris, and I will help you in any way I can." Osborne patted his arm and smiled kindly.

"Thank you, Steward Osborne." The patrol soldier excitedly bowed deeply to Osborne's butler and said excitedly.

In the camp for Italian mercenaries, Osborne's butler met Maurice in a makeshift ward. Welf, I saw that his face was shattered, and the corners of his mouth were pale and there was not much blood, but he still walked between the beds one by one, and from time to time he greeted the wounded soldiers.

"Morris. Welf. Steward Osborne came up to Maurice and greeted him.

"Steward Osborne." Morris. Welf bowed respectfully to Osborne's butler.

He Morris. The reason why Welf was able to make a career and be able to take charge of the army on his own when he first arrived was because of the favor and support of Osborne's butler, so Morris was very grateful for his kindness and respected him very much.

"Well, there's no need to be polite between you and me, Maurice." Osborne's butler picks up Morris. Welf smiled kindly: "I really deserve to be the person I value, I have already heard of your brilliant achievements, and I have not disappointed Master William and me." ”

"Steward Osborne, I'm not mature enough, this battle has taught me a lot of things I didn't know before, and there are still many things in this world that I need to learn." Morris. Welf said modestly.

"It's a lot more mature, Maurice." Osborne's butler treats Morris. Welf looked at his own children and nephews, and he was pleased with what he had accomplished.

"By the way, I heard that you are in a lot of difficulties here, there is a shortage of food supplies and medical supplies, and there are not enough doctors and manpower, I can help you, Morris."

"Thank you, Steward Osborne, thank you." With tears in his eyes, Morris bowed deeply to Osborne's butler.

"I regard you as my son and nephew, so if you have any difficulties, can you not ask me for help? Do you want to ask for anything in return for helping your own children and nephews? Steward Osborne shook his head and asked rhetorically.

Osborne's words really made Maurice. Welf was very moved, in fact Morris was a very affectionate and delicate man, who had closed his heart after being betrayed and hurt by his father, and only smiled when he saw his uncle, the Duke of Guelph, and now he had another relative, and that was an Osborne butler who took care of her.

"Okay, you go back and rest first, leave it to me here, wait for my good news." Steward Osborne said with a kind face.

Send Maurice away. After Welf, Steward Osborne visited His Majesty the Pope and the bishops of the Holy See overnight and asked them for help, including various supplies, medical medicines, and more than 300 doctors and healing priests.

The Holy See and the Pope, who were afraid of the Normans, naturally did not agree to the request of the Osborne steward, and in just a few hours, the things that the Osborne steward demanded had been roughly gathered.

When the doctors and priests were almost due, Steward Osborne waited no longer and led them straight to the camp of the Italian mercenaries.

When Osborne's butler arrived at the camp of the wounded soldiers of the Italian mercenary regiment with more than 300 doctors, priests and supplies and medicines, the whole camp was suddenly shocked, and every soldier was moved to tears, and those soldiers who had long since rested also rushed out of the tent and cheered loudly.

With these supplies and medicines, as well as more than 300 doctors and priests, the wounded can finally receive good treatment, and the chances of recovery have increased a lot, and at least half of them will survive.

In particular, the presence of the clergy, in whose prayers, relieved the wounded of tension and anxiety, which was undoubtedly very beneficial to the treatment.

"Hello, Maurice, if you need anything, you can say it directly, I will help you." Steward Osborne asked.

"It's enough, with these doctors, priests, and medicine supplies you have brought, it's enough to support the recovery of my soldiers, and there's even a surplus." Morris shook his head in refusal.

"I know it's not easy for you here, I'll find a way to settle the remaining employment expenses in advance, and give you double the rewards and bonuses, so that the soldiers you want will be satisfied, and I will also pay for the funeral expenses of the soldiers and the alimony of the disabled soldiers." Steward Osborne clasped Morris's hand with both hands and said in an irrefutable tone.

"Thisβ€”" Morris still refused after a moment, "Steward Osborne, let's settle the expenses after returning to Normandy, and the funeral expenses and maintenance for the disabled soldiers are all paid by the mercenary group, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Take it in peace, you deserve it. In addition, when you return to Normandy with your army, His Royal Highness William will also give you a generous reward, and I have recommended you to Young Master William as the commander of an army, allowing you to incorporate Italian mercenaries into it and enjoy the treatment of a regular army. Steward Osborne pressed Morris's shoulder, unable to refuse.
