Ahead is a battlefield full of artillery fire, and there is a plague epidemic in the rear.

This was a blow to the already high morale, and the impact was even deeper for the church's adherents.

Today's situation is like the end of the world, like the four horsemen of the apocalypse depicted in the legends of religious scriptures descending into the world.

The Warbringer and the Plaguebringer came on rotting undead horses, and the Famine and Deathbringer sneered and waited for their moment.

At a time when most people are hesitant, confused, and demoralized.

The head nurse, Janen Winstede, made a statement for all the medical staff,

Despite the strong warnings of the male doctors, she touched the wounded soldiers suffering from the plague with her own hands, cleaned their wounds, disinfected and bandaged them.

A delicate, beautiful lady like her is so dedicated.

The male medics who were reluctant to quit were full of heat and shame.

They remembered the sacred oath they had made to the statue of their former medical professor when they were first admitted to medical school:

“

This is the sacred moment of entering the sacred medical institution,

I solemnly swear:

I volunteered to dedicate myself to the cause of medicine, loved Valstad, was loyal to the people, abided by medical ethics, respected teachers and discipline, studied diligently, worked tirelessly, and kept improving.

I am determined to do my best to eradicate all the ills of the human world and contribute to the perfection of health.

To preserve the holiness and honor of the art of medicine,

Save the life and help the wounded, work hard, pursue persistently, and live up to the entrustment of life.

This vow will be practiced for the rest of your life until death.

”

A general roared angrily: "Doctors, what are you doing in a daze? Behold, your head nurse is getting to work, are you afraid of the plague and want to evade your responsibilities? No time! Our fighters are still dying! ”

This sentence completely woke everyone up, and the doctors began to diagnose and treat each other, the nurses also joined in, and others helped deliver medical supplies.

Head nurse Janen Winstide has become the spiritual leader of the medical team, and her heroism inspires everyone here.

Thanks to the efficient work of the sappers, the construction of the temporary medical station on the front line was completed in a very short time.

Plague-infected people were isolated in special tents to prevent other wounded from being infected.

Health workers are under tremendous mental pressure, because they have to come into direct contact with people infected with the plague, they wrap their bodies as much as possible, and white coats made of cotton are no longer up to the task.

A cavalry captain found a large number of medieval plague doctor equipment from a nearby town,

These include a full-mask hood with a beak-shaped mask, as well as an integrated protective suit made of leather.

Time seems to be turned back, and the plague doctor walks between the infected, like the great plague of history reappearing in the world, but the results are very different.

After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the progress of medicine is not trivial, as long as the outbreak of complications is dealt with in a timely manner, as long as the patient survives the most difficult stage of high fever, nine times out of ten.

Later, according to the statistics of the officials of the Logistics Department, a total of 1,793 officers and soldiers of the Valstad Army were confirmed to be infected with the plague caused by the heavy rain for several days, and 271 of them died of complications of internal bleeding.

409 were disabled or left with sequelae, while the rest recovered from their recuperations, and the stronger ones could even go back to war.

A total of 30 doctors and 42 nurses were infected, but fortunately no one died, including the head nurse, Janen Winstede, who had been in contact with too many infected people and had a fever on the first afternoon, but because of her strong body resistance, her condition was not serious, and she was even able to continue working while sick.

On the third day, the epidemic was basically lifted, and Jian Ning's fever subsided.

She finally took off the heavy leather protective suit, the clothes inside were soaked in sweat, and in just three days, she had lost a lot of weight, her original goose egg face looked much sharper, her hair was dry and fragile, her arms were thin, and her blood vessels were protruding.

After taking off the beak-shaped mask of the plague doctor, the doctors were amazed at the change in her, and God knows how the weak lady survived the three days.

After the muddy rainy days ended, the clashes on the front line intensified again, and the plague was apparently present in the Papal States and the Sylvinian army on the opposite side.

But their medical care was clearly not up to scratch, and a large number of people died of complications because they were not cared for, and the morale of the army was hit hard.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as Valsta's Empress Sarantos Midknight quickly assembled a force of 60,000 men and launched an onslaught when the water on the ground drained.

The coalition line had to move back again, and since then, the offensive of the Valstad Imperial Army has not stopped,

Obviously, the empress did not want to leave the other party any respite,

She mobilized all her reserves, including the Guards under the command of Field Marshal Lanfield, in an attempt to crush the other side in one fell swoop.

Night, August 9, 1710.

The head nurse, dressed in white, carries a kerosene lamp and walks alone between a large field of tents painted with red crosses.

Suddenly, she heard a violent cough coming from a tent and walked inside to check.

She was surprised to see that lying on the makeshift hospital bed was actually a high-ranking priest who accompanied the army, and the sterling silver cross around her neck shone brightly.

One of the man's legs had been amputated, and his body was bandaged in several places, but the expression on his face was quite optimistic.

"Are you alright, sir?" Janine asked.

"I'm fine, ma'am, it's just that my throat is inflamed, I can't help coughing a few times, and the fever will go away one day."

"You have just undergone an amputation, and you may be in danger at any time, and if you feel uncomfortable, you must ring the bell in time, and my night nurse is on standby."

"Haha, thank you for your concern, Madam Nurse Manager, don't worry about me.

The god of fortune has always favored me, and several of my comrades around me have been beaten to pulp by cannonballs, and I am the only one who survives, which is the supreme grace of the gods to the faithful servants who believe in him. With that, the wounded man raised an arm and made a cross on his chest.

"I don't quite understand, sir, why are you still directly involved in the battle as a chaplain?"

"Because we are facing an opponent in the Papal States, at some point our soldiers began to distrust the Templars in their country, believing that we clergy were complicit in the enemy.

I had to prove my loyalty to Valstad, that I belonged to a different sect from those enemies.

And the best way to prove this is to stand side by side with everyone and join the battle.

This is Her Majesty's advice to the Bishop of the Church of Valstad, and the results are quite good, and now that everyone trusts us, the people of Valstad should work together against a strong enemy. ”

"I see, I see." Jian Ning nodded, "I am also a registered member of the Templar Church in my country, and I wish you a speedy recovery, Mr. Pastor." With that, she lifted the curtain of the tent and wanted to leave.

"Wait, ma'am, I have something to say to you."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard about the outbreak of the plague a few days ago, and it was a great thing that you took the lead in putting on the costume of a medieval plague doctor, and did not dislike the infected at all!"

"It's nothing great, it's all my job."

"No, you're great, ma'am.

Before you, the doctors at the medical station looked down on nurses, believing them to be unskilled and clumsy.

Your arrival changed all that, and now that doctors and patients trust nurses, you saved the profession.

Now the wounded soldiers call your profession 'Angel in White'.

It's all thanks to you. And we joined the battle as religious people, giving you other titles, specialized terms for your title. ”

"What?"

"The Lady of the Lantern."
