Chapter 11 Avoiding Illness and Avoiding Doctors

July 12, 363 Gregorian calendar, Pamis, Rubata. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The envoy from the Far East finally saw one of the oldest cities on the continent of Articut, and although it had taken him more time to get here from Kaunescu than he had imagined, Lan Feng was still sincerely amazed by the towering walls and towers of the Luba Tower, as well as the white palace dome that could be seen from afar.

He departed from the royal capital of Pharansy on July 1, a journey that would normally take about seven days. However, due to an unexpected situation for the other two people who were traveling with him, his trip was delayed. Of course, Lan Feng didn't expect that there would be fellow travelers. He left the Leuss manor alone and spent three days in Ogarosha, the western town of Farencia, where he "unexpectedly" encountered the black swan of Renosque while reversing the customs clearance papers. At the gracious invitation of the other party, Lan Feng was asked to escort the princess back to Renosque as her protector, and because of his usual kindness, Nastasya persuaded him with little to no words. And the reason why Princess Renosk did this was to enter Pamis without revealing her identity, and when she reported to the border officials of Pamis, she entered as Lan Feng's "family member".

When the three of them had just entered the realm of Pamis, Nastasya suddenly fell ill due to a cold.

Due to the lack of access to herbal medicines, Lan Feng had to use a series of physical therapies. But this judgment from the position of a doctor turned out to cause a lot of embarrassment to himself. Nastasya proposed acupuncture to him, but he rejected it himself, as it would require Princess Reynolds to expose her entire back. Later, after half an hour of agony alone in the corner, the doctor from the East told his patients that he had decided to take the pedicure. And asked Floris to be optimistic about her treatment on the side.

"This treatment is not only good for her current condition, but also good for her health in the future, and I can't always be by her side in the future, so it's best for you to learn it all the time. I have also learned about the climate of your country, which is not conducive to the health of Her Royal Highness, and this method can effectively resist the damage of cold weather to her body. Lan Feng said to Hua Laviss as she held a wooden basin full of hot water.

Although the three of them had made ample preparations before starting the treatment, things began to slide in a direction that deviated from the original plan when Lan Feng grasped Nastaxia's slender jade feet, especially after Nastaxia let out a few coquettish moans from time to time. As a result, when Lan Feng took half the time to finish the treatment than normal, after careful questioning, she realized that Floris had not remembered the main points at all, and Nastaxia fell asleep contentedly.

Back to the previous situation. King Parmis was not in the mood to meet with an envoy from an unknown country at this time. However, out of the importance of Lan Feng's handwritten letter of introduction attached to the back of Lan Feng's credentials, Arslang I still accepted Lan Feng's greetings in the main hall of the "White House". Princess Nastasya, who had recovered her health, disguised herself as a young attendant to attend the audience, and her reason for persuading Lan Feng was also reasonable: "As an envoy of a great country, there is no attendant at the side when you meet King Parmis, and that will cause the other party to despise you." Isn't your previous experience a good proof of this? Not everyone has the foresight of Lord Luce. ”

The meeting did not last long, Arslang I only politely asked Lan Feng a few polite words, and then rewarded Lan Feng with some dinars, and then he prepared to leave.

While talking to King Parmes, Lan Feng observed Arslang I out of the habit of his healer. Later, when King Parmis got up to leave, Lan Feng stopped the king with a voice.

"Can you dare to ask Your Majesty to let you diagnose it?" Lan Feng respectfully proposed.

King Parmis paused, and Pacost, his favored vizier, whispered in his ear, presumably to introduce the rumors from Mastar. Arslang I turned from suspicious to excited, and he sat back on the throne and asked his attendants to invite Lan Feng up.

Lan Feng came to the king's side and knelt down on one knee to take his pulse. After a long time, the envoy from the east withdrew his hand and retreated to the bottom of the steps.

"Your Majesty has a disease in his stomach, and if he is not treated in time, I am afraid that his condition will be aggravated in the future."

Lan Feng's sincere suggestion drew laughter from the Pamis monarchs.

"So I say, dear Pacoste, all the rumors out there are unreliable, and a word that spreads a hundred Farsanger (500 km) away will become unrecognizable. The so-called 'miracle doctor' of the Mastarians seems to have been ineffective when it came to Pamis. King Parmis said to his favorite courtiers.

Although Lan Feng couldn't understand the Parmis language, he also roughly guessed a thing or two from the other party's expression. So he gave his farewell to King Parmes, and turned from his throne to leave. Nastasya greeted him and stroked his shoulder, trying to comfort him. Lan Feng gently removed her soft wattle, saying that he was more worried about the king's condition than the distrust he received.

"Is he really sick? King Parmes, though about the same age as my father, was in good health, and I had never heard of any disease in him. Nastasya asked.

"King Parmis is in good health, but I probed his veins to be strong and dry; Observe that his complexion is slightly grayish; Listen to his breathing with wheezing. I'm afraid I've been addicted to alcohol in the last two years. Now that the condition is not deep, it is believed that you can still prolong your life by starting treatment and conditioning in time and quitting excessive alcohol. But if you continue to live a life of dogs and horses, I am afraid that the condition will soon deepen. Lan Feng replied with some heaviness.

After hearing this, Nastaxia became more and more admired for Lan Feng's medical skills. Since the death of Princess Fraus, Arslang I's private life has gradually become erosive. This has long been no secret to the intelligence agencies of various countries. And Lan Feng, a newcomer, discovered the king's problem after only a few minutes of observation, which really surprised her. Therefore, she also made a note of Lan Feng's judgment of King Parmis's physical condition, and at the same time continued to comfort Lan Feng with kind words, and suggested that he go to Reynosk after a good tour of Pamis.

"Won't this delay your journey, Your Highness?" Lan Feng asked. As an envoy of the Oriental tradition, when he came to a completely unfamiliar country, out of the habits of his people, he always wanted to be able to understand the basic situation of the local area in depth and make written records before bringing them back to his country. Lan Feng has actually started to write this travelogue.

"It's okay, I'd like to have a good tour of Pamis, so I'll ask you to protect me."

"It's an honor under it." Lan Feng replied politely.

After the departure of the inconsequential messenger, King Parmis hurried back to his office, for his generals had some bad news to report to him - the Reynolds had won an unprecedented victory in the southwestern direction of the Pamis, three thousand horsemen had been defeated, one of them had defected, and the remaining troops had been besieged at Pinks.

Undenied the distraction of the bad situation, Arslang I asked: "How are the troops of Wolfgar now?" Is Kafbas still in our hands? ”

"The forces of the Vovga are still intact, but the Lenosk fleet is eyeing the sea off Odessa. Most of Kafbas's garrison was taken away by Miyama-sama, but the pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a small number of troops could hold out for a while. Ten Thousand Riders Long Gu reported to the king.

"Immediately inform Wolfga not to go to the rescue of Pinkers, and the whole army will abandon Odessa and withdraw to Kafbas." King Parmis gave such an order. It should be said that this order was quite correct, if the Wolfgar division went south to reinforce Pinks, it would only fall into the siege of the Reynosk army, and at this time the pass of Kafbas should be retreated, and if necessary, King Pamis should mobilize two thousand cavalry of the northern tribe to join his army for a counterattack.

"So what about Grace and Yoneyama who are still in Pinks? They also have at least 20,000 troops under their command. Longgu continued. He was a tall man, but he didn't become the captain of the Ten Thousand Cavalry because of his courage or long-term vision, but he commanded one of the two Ten Thousand Cavalry of the Rubata Praetorian Guard.

"How many troops do we have left to move?"

"There are two fully armed 10,000 cavalry teams in the south, the Tetaru and the Neamchu ......"

"The garrisons of Oradea and Scarland can't move."

"But ......"

"No, let Turbatu gather the two nearest 10,000 cavalry and organize a force of more than 50,000 men to relieve the siege of Pinkers. The Renoskes have gone too far this time, and they will pay the price. "King Parmis is still confident, and this threat from the Renoskes is not worth mentioning in the past.

"If there's nothing else to do, you can step aside." Arslang I waved his hand.

Longu and Pacoste looked at each other, and bowed to the king to take their leave, but their hearts were a little drumming. The king had been lax in politics for too long, and he had no idea how well the various cavalry were ready for battle. Turbatu was certainly a fierce general, but the commander of the 10,000 cavalry currently had only 4,500 cavalry under his command, and even if he gathered the other two 10,000 cavalry regiments closest to his garrison and the rest of the infantry corps, it would still be quite difficult to gather the size of 50,000 men. To make matters worse, the Parmis had no strategic reserves on the second front, and how to provide enough supplies for the 50,000-strong army was another difficult problem.

At the same time, Rubata did not know that an even greater catastrophe would befall him on the western front.

On July 12, 363 in the continental calendar, Wolfga, who had already sensed that he was alone, gave the order to evacuate Odessa. His reconnaissance system detected that the Lenosk army was outflanking Odessa from land in two directions, and that an army of more than 35,000 men was approaching Odessa from due west; Another route, numbering about 20,000 men, came from the southwest, preparing to cut off the link between him and Kafbas.

At 1 p.m. on July 13, all the Pamis corps withdrew from Odessa, and the Lenosk corps, which had been wandering at sea for a long time, immediately landed. After a lapse of 10 years, this northern port has been recaptured. As soon as General Gorshkov entered the city, he organized a new city administration, strengthened the defense of the place, and stationed two squadrons of dragon knights in the city.

By the evening of 14 July, the Wolfgar division had arrived in a small village only 10 fats from Kafbas. At this time, the number of combat-capable troops in the unit still reached 38,000, including 9,800 cavalry. Behind them, the Lenosque army had already been united, with a total number of 57,000 men, including 12,000 in Yihusa. The commanders of the Renosk were Duke Alexander Ivanovich Meshkin and General Pelce Gran.

Knowing that it would never be possible to get out of front of the Reynosk army without a fight, Wolfga ordered his troops to build fortifications on the spot and prepare to hold on, while sending people to Kafbas to ask for reinforcements.

However, the Lenosque army on the opposite side did not seem to have any intention of fighting him immediately, but also set up camp and fortifications less than 1 distance from him. This puzzled the Pamis greatly, but in the evening a messenger claiming to be from Pinks brought bad news to Wolfga. Mainly reported on the battle of Poltava-Novgorod, the defeat of his own side made Lvga more and more uneasy, and the captain of ten thousand horsemen could not help but tremble when he heard of the defection of Odros.

On the morning of 15 July, the dragon knights who arrived at Rubata informed Wolfgar of the same news, and the king's order was to retreat to Kafbas as soon as possible, preserving his strength for a future counterattack. Wolfgar decided to take the initiative to attack the Reynosk army, and then retreated with a single blow, confident that he could defeat his opponent with his cavalry, especially when he heard that his opponent was nothing more than a yellow-haired boy in his twenties.

Near noon, Wolfga fed the crowd with most of the food and grass he had carried, and then attacked the positions of the Reynosk army. The Reynolds army did not seem to have expected such a trapping fight, and did not resist the attack launched by the Pamis army at all. Wolfgar brought up all the heavy equipment that could still be used, and the trebuchet turned the fence of the Renoskes into a pile of burning garbage in an instant. In less than an hour, the advance battalion of the Lenosk army collapsed, but their central army was quickly strengthened, and the Pamis, after a period of unsuccessful attack, quickly withdrew from the battlefield as originally planned. Before leaving, Wolfga burned all the baggage equipment that he could not take away. He led his troops and galloped towards Kafbas lightly.

"Captain Pamiswan is a guy to be despised for." Duke Meshkin looked at his former camp in disarray and sighed.

"But war is not something that can be easily won by fighting alone, and the Pamis, no matter how much they struggle, have walked into the trap we have set for them." Pelce said from the side.

"Speaking of which, Lord Leus of Pharansis is also known for his knack."

"Maybe not."

"Oh, Lord Gran seems to know his fellow citizens better than we do?" Duke Meshkin laughed.

"No, I've only recently started to get to know him." Peer replied.

By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wolfgar had retreated to the city of Kafbas. The pass is built on the majestic Bifel Mountains, and it has never been recorded in the hands of the Renoskes, nor has it ever been breached head-on. When the Parmis saw it, their heavy hearts for days were soothed.

When the steel gates of Kafbas were fully raised, the Pamis rushed into the city, and Wolfgar was of course among the first cavalry. However, when about 1,000 cavalry entered the city, the city gate suddenly fell and closed, which caused great panic among the Pamis army outside the city. Wolfga, who had just entered the city, was not impressed, and he instructed his lieutenant to inquire if there was something wrong with the winch that controlled the city gate. However, 20 seconds later, the 1,000 Pamis cavalry, trapped between the two walls, were fired with the most bows and arrows they had ever seen in their lives, and the Parmis realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. Ten minutes later, the Renoskes began to descend from the towers to mend the Pamis, who were still gasping for breath.

Because of the protection of his subordinates, Wolfga was not seriously injured at this time. When the Renosk people came to him, he felt his battle axe and jumped up, cutting down several Rynosk soldiers in succession. But it was only a futile struggle, and the Reynoskes, who reacted, immediately shot through the body of the Commander of the Pamiswan Cavalry with several sharp arrows with precision.

In the last moments of his life, Wolfga, who had already fallen to his knees, barely supported his body with a tomahawk, gasping for breath.

"Odros, you despicable traitor!" After he saw the person in front of him clearly, he scolded hatefully.

"I'm sorry, old friend, you should go first." Odros said as he swung his knife and killed his former colleague.

Blood splattered from Wolfga's carotid artery stained half of Odros's face.

"I'm really worried that Lord Odros won't be able to do it." Misoli said from the side.

"Since you have chosen your own path, if you still hesitate, it will not be the style of the Pamis cavalry." Odros shook off the blood from his saber and turned away.

When the head of Vovgar was thrown from the tower by the Renoskes, the destruction of the Parmis was doomed. Most of the mercenary infantry almost immediately broke up or surrendered, and the cavalry's attempts to regroup under the leadership of a few thousand cavalry commanders were soon failed by the attack of the Duke Meshkin. After some chaotic fighting, about a third of the Pamischio cavalry broke through, but they had also lost their organization, and it was believed that they would soon be torn apart one by one by the large group of Wing Husa pursuing troops.
