Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 156: Sisters Walking in the North

Flora was currently leading her group of nuns to follow the army on the expedition.

"Your Excellency, there are some injured villagers in the village ahead, and they have now been settled by the soldiers ahead."

"I understand. I will go there with the Sisters later."

After listening to the scout's report, Flora ordered people to pour the boiled herbal soup into the earthenware jar.

"Twice a day, a small bowl each time is enough until the fever subsides. If anyone else also has fever symptoms, they can drink this herbal soup, understand?"

A mother holding her child standing beside Flora nodded.

The nuns did not act with the army, but followed behind the army, providing medical treatment in the areas conquered by the army to prevent the spread of plague and disease after the war.

In previous wars, many nuns and priests from the church followed the army. The main purpose of these accompanying personnel was to guard against possible plagues that might occur after the war.

In addition to the improper handling of corpses, the sanitary conditions in this world are really not commendable. In addition, Lind is worried that the demons will come to make trouble behind the scenes, so he pays special attention to the post-war hygiene issues.

Most of those priests became military doctors, but after all, there are still too few military doctors, and the army cannot stay in one place for a long time, so the nuns led by Flora began to follow the army and treat illnesses along the way.

Ordinary nuns and priests could not do this job. After all, although they were following the army, the North was now full of bandits and robbers who occupied the mountains as kings. In the eyes of those bandits, a group of nuns and priests who were powerless were nothing more than fat sheep who could use the holy light.

But most of Flora's nuns have rich combat experience, not to mention they are fully armed. Lind basically distributes equipment to the nuns according to the standards of the Guards.

The sisterhood is not only made up of the nuns who rescued Notre Dame Cathedral at the beginning, but has now absorbed many nuns from all over the country, and many religious people along the way have also taken the initiative to join in.

At the same time, there are also special Lars knights guarding.

This configuration is completely a small army. To be honest, it is no problem to capture a small city.

Although the Central Church in the royal capital rectified Flora's wrongdoings, not only restoring her previous reputation, but also making a decision that went against their ancestors, Flora had never even set foot in the Central Church, but the Church officially canonized her as a saint.

The reason why Flora had not become an official saint before was that she had not yet gone to the royal capital to formally receive the title.

And now the Central Church is going against the ancestral system to canonize Flora, but Flora does not feel anything special. After all, now it is not the nuns who need the Holy See to canonize a saint to enhance their reputation, but the Holy See needs some prestigious people to be saints to enhance the value of the title.

What's more, Gray and White Collar can also canonize saints. For example, Isa was canonized by Gray and White Collar's religious affairs office. In the North, almost no one cares about the saints canonized by the Holy See anymore.

And Flora didn't originally strive for this empty title.

Seeing the village gradually becoming stable, Flora took out her pocket watch and looked at it. She called the new clergy who had joined along the way and prepared to lead them to the next place.

Some of these clergymen originally from Doug's territory did not approve of Gray-Collar's religious management methods, and could even be said to be resistant to them, but there were basically no bad people willing to run around with the nuns. At least these clergymen were only resistant to religious policies, not the order brought by Gray-Collar.

Some of them also want to follow Gray Collar or Flora and get a share of the spoils in the upcoming new order.

But as the Governor said, if you are useful, you should use them to the utmost. Now the territory is following the principle of employing people, so Flora asked these people to stay in these towns and villages to maintain order. It has always been like this for gray-collar workers. You can be scheming, play tricks, and take shortcuts, but you can't be really incompetent.

These people, together with the civil servants who arrived later, were able to quickly stabilize the local order and sanitation conditions.

When Flora left, everyone in the village came to the entrance of the village and silently watched the nuns go away.

Flora and the sisters around her kept looking back, most of them recalling the days at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Succor.

Many new nuns who had joined the order also followed Flora and the others in wearing bird-beak masks. In addition to helping Flora and the others cover their scars, this mask could also effectively prevent infection when coming into contact with patients. It could also effectively prevent some ruffians and vagrants from having ideas about the nuns, so it quickly became popular among the nuns.

Along the way, not to mention the fully armed Lars knights and soldiers, even the bandits would shudder when they saw the nuns wearing bird-beak masks.

It was probably for this reason that Doug Jun, who had been quietly observing the Sisters from a distance, asked, "Boss, are we really going to go?"

Many Doug soldiers are only troops when they ask for pay, and are just a bunch of bandits at other times. This is one of the reasons why Lind does not want to recruit them.

"I...I'm going to fight this group of nuns? Is that true?"

The general who was called the boss was immediately defeated when he saw the scene transmitted by the Eagle Eye Technique.

He had heard from people who had escaped from Fort Pétain that the Gray Collar had a troop of nuns disguised as military doctors. The nuns in that troop would use strange weapons that would make explosive sounds to saw open your shield and armor, and then insert muskets into the sawed edges and shoot directly.

The general's scalp tingled after hearing this.

"Why don't we go back and farm? I heard that there is rebellion now... The Governor's army will distribute land wherever they go."

"But boss, we've already taken over all the land around here, can we really still get a share of the land?"

"The North is so big, there are always places that don't know us. When we get to places where no one knows us, we will just surrender. Let's farm or go home. If you are lucky enough to be selected and become a soldier of the Governor, don't forget your brothers in the future."

Anyway, most of the people in the army were forced to serve in the army, and they had no loyalty to Doug. Firing a few shots into the air would be considered as doing Doug justice.

At this time, a small leader and staff officer stood up and said, "Boss, I have a plan."

"I have observed how the Governor's army treats prisoners of war. What Governor Linde said about Northerners not fighting Northerners is true. Even if you open fire on the Governor's army, as long as you don't plunder excessively and don't kill or burn people, the Governor's army will forgive you."

The general shook his head. "Although our looting is not as bad as those of the real bandits (after all, there is nothing left to rob), and my brothers are all innocent, but what about me? What should I do? I have formed an alliance with those bandits and even provided cover for the demons. I heard that the Gray Collars are merciless to the demons. How could the Governor let me off so easily?"

The small leader and staff officer slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this exactly your advantage, General?"
