Doctor Player - Chapter 99:

However, there were several other countries in the vast continent. This includes the Confederation of Southern Nations. Kingdom of Droughton is one the countries in this.

As the name Confederation of Southern Nations” suggests, the Kingdom of Droughton was situated on the south side of the Kingdom of Houston.

In the first place, the Kingdom of Droughton itself was founded independently by the southern half of the Kingdom of Houston.

“Fortunately, the rest of the southern states other than the Kingdom of Droughton have declared neutrality.” The staff reported to. Duke Raif.

“Thanks to a number of evidence uncovered by Baron Penin. Now that the evil deeds of those Droughton guys were given to life, other nations would have no cause to enter the war.”

This is why justification is important.

Thanks to the evidence Raymond uncovered, the Kingdom of Droughton was isolated alone.

“It would be a very advantageous war.”

“Baron Penin has done a really great job.”

Many in the barracks praised Raymond.

The Duke Raif shook his head coolly.

“Stop, don’t let your guard down. The war has only just begun. March immediately to the Rafald region.”

“Yes, sir!”

The Rafald Region.

It is the northern part of the Kingdom of Droughton.

A border area adjacent to the Kingdom of Houston.

The war will start there.

“Once you enter the Raffald region, prepare yourself for the battle against the Droughton men.”

“Yes, sir!”

As the Duke Raif’s instruction goes, after entering the Rafald region, they faced the enemy.

It’s 60,000 in total.

It was the number of Droughton’s armies.

A total of 70,000 versus 60,000 troops faced off.

The numbers are not much different, but there was a decisive difference between the two troops.

Unlike the Kingdom of Houston armed with high morale, the morale of the Droughton men were low.

The army of the Kingdom of Houston won the first battle and succeeded in capturing the northern part of Rafald.

Later, the Droughton Army changed its strategy.

Rather than taking advantage of the plains, they fought a defensive battle using the rough mountainous terrain of the Rafald region.

Houston’s army was divided into Western, Central, and Eastern forces, and began to occupy Rafald, after which the battlefield was stalled.

At that time, Raymond, who set up a Penin Treatment Center on the battlefield, was doing…

He was in trouble because patients didn’t come!

***

‘To make the best contribution I can give!’

That was Raymond’s commitment to the battlefield.

‘So let’s build a great reputation, as well as a yolk-walled estate.’

With that kind of mind, he opened the treatment center with spirit. However, there was a problem.

No patients came.

‘……Why? I even set it up in a flashy manner.’

Raymond looked at the barracks.

It was a barracks that looked like something an emperor would stay in on the battlefield. No, it was even bigger than that.

The interior was also neat and cozy, making it hard to imagine that something like this would be in a battlefield.

It’s so nice, why isn’t anyone coming?

‘It’s not like there won’t be any patients.’

Battles were still continuing as they take over the key points.

There must have been several injured people by now, but no one came.

“Isn’t it that people don’t know yet?” Lindon said.

But that didn’t seem to be the case.

Before going on the mission, they advertised a lot of training on ‘emergency rescue skills’. All soldiers knew that there would be a Penin Treatment Center in the battlefield.

‘Well, what is it?’

When he sneaked out, there were wounded soldiers here and there.

However, they didn’t think about coming in even after seeing the barracks with the treatment center mark attached.

Rather, they were lined up for C-class and D-class junior healers.

Raymond overheard the wounded soldiers’ conversation.

“What’s that barracks over there for? It looks so grand.l”

“Oh, I heard it is a treatment center from a therapist named Baron Penin? I heard they use medicine there, not heals.”

“What’s that?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen it firsthand. I heard from my friends from the capital, it seems to be working in its own way…… I heard that when treating you with it, they have to slice your stomach..”

“What?!”

The soldiers looked astonished.

“Cut open the stomach?!”

“Some also said that they inject human blood.”

“What kind of demonic treatment is this?! Did Your Majesty observed such demonic treatment?”

Then, a soldier hurriedly defended medicine. Probably a soldier from the capital where Raymond was.

“No, that’s not it. Medicine is not such a strange treatment, and it works very well. Baron Penin is also a very good man.”

“A great man cuts a man’s stomach and puts raw blood into a patient’s body?”

“No, it’s not…….”

“I’d rather stay with a devil. He’d seem to have a better personality.”

The other soldiers rebuffed the soldier who sided with medicine.

Listening to their conversation, Raymond realized a big problem.

‘Medicine is…… It’s an unfamiliar treatment for the soldiers.’

Come to think of it, it was natural.

Thanks to the efforts so far, medicine is recognized in the capital where there is a Penin Treatment Center, but it is a treatment that has not been heard or seen in other provinces.

Moreover, soldiers are sensitive to treatments. Since it is directly related to life, they will not accept new treatments easily.

‘What should I do?’

Raymond felt confused. But soon enough, he clenched his fists.

‘Well, I can show the greatness of medicine.’ T

his is all.

‘It is ridiculous compared to the difficulties we have faced so far.’

Back at the barracks, Raymond picked up a visit bag.

“Let’s get out, Hanson.”

“Master?”

“For the time being, we are in the on-site healer service mode.”

‘If soldiers do not come to us because they are reluctant to seek medicine, then the answer is rather simple.’

‘I’ll just have to go there in person.’

‘I’ll visit them and show them the greatness of medicine by force.’

***

Just in time, a quest occurred.

[Let The Soldiers Know The Greatness Of Medicine!]

(Medicine Quest)

Medical rating: Two scalpels

Difficulty level: Medium

Quest Explained: You’re a military healer. However, the soldiers are wary of your medical skills. Let them know the greatness of medicine and let their guard down!

Clear Conditions: Demonstrating the greatness of medicine

Quest Reward: Bonus level up x2, additional 30 skill points

As the quest description states, the soldiers were wary of Raymond’s medical skills.

“Do you want me to treat you?”

“What? Oh, no! I’m all better!”

“I’m fine, too!”

Raymond frowned.

They were wary of him as if he was an incapable mother.

Something like this happened before.

So he opened a call-up bag to treat a soldier,

“Oh my! A knife!”

“Oh, this is a scalpel…….”

“Saws, needles, even assassination tools!”

“……”

After seeing various medical tools, he ran away in confusion.

After that, this ghost story circulated in the barracks.

The bag that Baron Penin carries is said to be an all-weather assasination weapon.

‘They judged him so suddenly!’

At the moment, Raymond felt a surge of anger. However, he was so sorry for himself.

‘Why do I feel sorry for him rather than the injured soldiers?

‘…I took on a lot of debt to open the Penin Treatment Center on the battlefield. If I didn’t get my merits, I would end up in bankruptcy.’

His new debt is over 200,000 penas.

This is because it is a battlefield where supplies are difficult to obtain, so as medical tools such as herbs, bandages, etc. everything must be purchased in advance.

‘We have received some support from the military budget, but it is not enough.’

Since the military’s finances were limited, Raymond had no choice but to take on debt.

Of course, it was a debt that he would get back many times later. The more you treat the patients, the more meritorious they become.

Such as 200,000 pennies in debt. It is ridiculous compared to the value of the yolk-wee estate that will be credited later.

However, to put it the other way, he meant to see as many patients as possible. It would’ve been difficult if it had been like this.

‘We need to work something out.’

Then, the barracks became noisy.

“Argh!”

A soldier was carried on a stretcher.

“Get out of the way!”

“Hurry up! Healer!”

Upon glance, it was a patient with a penetrating wound to his right chest!

‘You can’t save a patient like that.’

Raymond’s eyes became heavy.

It must’ve pierced a vital organ inside the ribcage.

Naturally, the healers in charge of the soldiers shook their heads.

“There’s no way. Make him as comfortable as possible.”

For reference, the healers in charge of ordinary soldiers are C and D levels. All healers of grade B or higher only treated patients of knight or officer grade.

Given that C-level heals do not have a significant effect on intensive care, soldiers who are seriously injured will die helplessly.

Then, an unexpected situation happened.

“Mr. Raymond! Please treat that patient!”

Suddenly a soldier kneeled in front of Raymond!

“I am a soldier who you treated in the capital! I trust that Raymond’s medicine will cure that soldier!”

Not all soldiers found medicine a taboo.

Soldiers from the capital, where Raymond was active, believed in medicine.

‘……I’m not confident in this patient either.’

Raymond made a troubled face.

‘But this is a very important situation.’

Numerous soldiers are watching him.

‘But what if I fail to treat that patient?’

‘Then medicine may be branded a completely unreliable treatment among soldiers.’

However…

“Make it stop…… Me, Mary…… Mer, I’ll miss you…….”

The moment he heard the patient’s soft cries, Raymond clasped his fist.

‘No, if I think about it, this is an opportunity. An opportunity to impress the soldiers and make known the excellence of medicine.’

As always until now.

The value of medicine is recognized when he treated patients.

And apart from that, he’s a healer.

He has an obligation to treat dying patients.

“Please move the patient into the barracks of the treatment center.”

Raymond also spoke to Hanson.

“I’ll start the surgery right away, so get ready.”

***

‘Can I do it?’

Raymond breathed in at the operating room in the barracks.

His current rating is ‘senior chief’, that is, still at resident level.

Chest penetration was difficult to treat in the resident line.

He had to be at least in a ‘ specialist’ level.

‘I am about to reach level 100, so being a specialist isn’t far away for me. But still, this is not an easy surgery at my current level.’

Raymond wore sanitized gloves and picked up a scalpel.

‘But I can’t help it. I have no choice but to try.’

[Seojun’s hand movements is manifested!]

[Seojun’s hand movements (D+) is manifested!]

His sensory levels have risen sharply.

For reference, the ‘Seojun’s hand movements’ rose to D+ when he became a senior practitioner. WIth this, his stat increased from 3 to 4.

‘Let’s make it happen.’

Squeak.

The scalpel split the chest wall between the ribs.

Blood poured out from the inside.

“My blood pressure is dropping! Blood pressure is 60/30!”

“Inject the solution!”

“Yes, Master!” Lindon replied.

For your information, Christine has been in command for the time being due to family affairs, so Hanson has been the assist of this operation.

Lindon took on the role of ‘Circulating Assistant’.

They do not stand on the surgical field, but assist by handing over necessary tools from around them.

Lindon was so quick-witted, he was quick to assist.

‘There’s a lot of bleeding.’

‘It is not like the aorta or the heart has been pierced, right?’

Raymond swallowed hard.
