The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 472 Hospital Knights

After going through all the chaos, Maria understood one thing.

The ideas others impose on you are not important at all; what matters most is what you want to do.

Maria didn't like seeing lives lost on the battlefield. She hated the sight of blood and limbs flying everywhere.

"Since you claim to follow me, you must obey my orders!"

Maria unilaterally interrupted communication with the Holy Scripture and turned to give orders to her followers.

The resurrected soldiers did not know what Maria was thinking, but they surrendered to the greatness of the miracle and naturally followed Maria's instructions.

"The direction the Saint Lady is heading is also the direction we are heading!"

"Very good! From today on, you all lay down your weapons. I want you to pick up bandages and stretchers and go to rescue the wounded on the battlefield. No matter which side they are on, you must lend a helping hand. Can you do it?"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment. They were surprised at Maria's decision. After they realized what was going on, they all knelt on one knee.

"The Saint spreads love to the world. We are willing to follow her until death!"

The soldiers' fanatical shouts made Maria frown.

The phrase "until death do us part" shouldn't be used in such an occasion, right?

"Forget it, all of you follow me."

Maria returned to Archduke von's camp with a large group of resurrected soldiers.

Grand Duke von, who was summoning merchants in the camp, didn't pay much attention at first. However, when he saw people wearing Simon's military uniforms wandering around, Grand Duke von could no longer sit still.

"Hey, who let these people in?"

Faced with Archduke Feng's questioning, the soldier guarding the camp pointed in Maria's direction very embarrassedly.

Maria, feeling exhausted, was resting in her tent. She was going to make specific arrangements for the soldiers after she had rested.

When Duke Feng broke into the tent, he saw Maria preparing to take off her clothes to take a bath. Duke Feng's face turned red and he hurried out.

Maria naturally noticed that Grand Duke Feng had barged in, but she still followed her original plan and cleaned herself and changed her clothes before going out.

"Mr. Feng, you suddenly broke into my tent. Is there something urgent?"

"Ahem~ I'm so sorry, Your Highness! I just wanted to ask about these hostile soldiers."

When Duke Feng was outside, he had already discovered that these soldiers were unusual.

Among these resurrected soldiers, Duke Feng saw people he knew. They had died on the battlefield, but were now alive and well in the camp.

"Ms. Maria, they say you performed miracles and resurrected the dead. Is that true?"

"It's true. The goddess didn't want these brave soldiers to die tragically on the battlefield, so she granted them a second life."

Maria could lie without blushing or beating her heart. She looked like a completely different person from the saint she was before.

When Duke Feng saw Maria admit that she had performed a miracle to resurrect them, he was speechless.

Grand Duke Feng knew that there was a man named Vizar Li in the North who could resurrect the dead. Now, could the Saint also do the same?

Or…

Duke Feng vaguely guessed the truth, and then he became even more troubled.

"Ms. Maria, some of these people are from Simon's camp. I can't let them stay in the coalition camp."

"…Okay, I'll find a way to settle them down later."

Seeing that the saint agreed so readily, Duke Feng felt a little awkward.

"In fact, you can let them go back and let them return to their daily lives, which will be better for everyone."

"Grand Duke Feng! I've discovered that if you want to influence the course of events, you must have power, so I won't let them leave. Instead, I'll unite everyone!"

Whether in the church or in the military camp, Mary had no say.

Now, if Maria wants to carry out her will, some obedient subordinates are essential!

Grand Duke Feng took a deep breath. The saint Maria also began to summon the legion. What was she trying to do?

Don’t you think the current situation is chaotic enough?

"…I just want to ask you one thing. What do these people eat, live in, and use? I will not bear the logistics of these people!"

If Maria had only good intentions, Archduke von would have admired her.

But Maria has to organize people and promote her kindness, which is a headache.

Maria didn't expect that Grand Duke Feng would refuse to provide supplies. Hadn't she been eating and living in the military barracks before?

"Why don't you give them food? Many of these people were your former subordinates!"

"You said it was before! Look at them now, they are no longer soldiers!"

Maria asked the soldiers to drop their weapons, and they even took off their armor.

Duke Feng naturally would not support a group of civilians. Now we are at war, and every resource must be used on the battlefield.

Maria, who had just organized a group of believers and was planning to do something big, was stunned on the spot.

She didn't react until the soldiers sent by Archduke von began to drive away Maria and her group.

"What did I do wrong? Why are you kicking me out? Can't I just be their medic?"

Maria was finally thrown out of the camp. Grand Duke Feng had a very dark face. He now understood why the temple was not welcomed.

Those who ignore facts and only regard faith as the highest criterion are all crazy!

Grand Duke von thought that if he let Maria suffer a little, she would calm down.

However, Li, who started this war, is best at disrupting the situation.

A group of merchants led by Jacob, upon hearing about the miracle performed by Maria, came looking for her on their own initiative.

Jacob brought Maria a large investment and kissed the ground under her feet.

"Great Saint, at a time when everyone is blinded by the interests of war, you are the only one who still holds on to your faith! Please rest assured, Saint, the people of the kingdom are always with you!"

Jacob joined forces with businessmen to build a neutral hospital in the area closest to the battlefield.

The hospital provides battlefield rescue services and also provides civilian medical services.

In short, as long as you are injured or sick, you can come to the hospital for treatment and shelter.

The neutral hospital built in the concession was also declared a permanent neutral zone.

Except for instruments used for treatment, weapons are not allowed in hospitals.

Countless rangers and warriors who are just and yearn for light come to Maria to join her.

The creed of healing the sick and saving lives also attracted many clergy who truly cared about the people.

By the time the hospital was built, there were more than a thousand soldiers and service personnel working around the hospital and following Maria's command.

Even Maria herself was confused. What was originally a small attempt instantly made her a huge name in the central kingdom.

People praised the Saint for her efforts in peace and medical treatment, and respectfully called this emerging force the Knights of Hospital.
