Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

When Leon woke up from his sleep, it was already early morning the next day.

The warm sunshine slanted in, dispelling Leon's fatigue and depression from the previous day.

Slowly opening his eyes, his mind went blank, but the familiar furnishings in the room made Leon's tense heart instantly feel relaxed.

After a while, he finally remembered the difficult and fierce battle yesterday, and the pools of blood and corpses everywhere.

"water……"

Leon felt that his mouth was a little dry, and Aaron, who had been waiting outside the door, heard the viscount's voice and immediately walked into the room slowly.

After drinking a glass of cool spring water, Leon finally regained his composure and asked Aaron on the side: "Did we win?"

"Win! Win!"

Hearing this, Aaron nodded repeatedly and burst into tears for a while.

Any Antorian is well aware of the difficulties of the Year of the Jackdaw. This year's hound attack is the first in recent decades.

However,

Facing the swarming hounds,

The Antolians held on to the broken walls and the city behind them!

At this time,

Aaron still clearly remembers the majestic appearance of his lord.

With a gentle wave of the staff, fireballs shot out, and the entire battlefield was filled with warmth from the continuous explosions.

Lord Viscount is too strong!

As for kneading the shadow monster with his bare hands, it proved the great strength of Lord Viscount.

Not to mention the mage's apprentice,

No real mage can do this.

In Aaron's mind, his lord is too stable, even a little too low-key!

"The hound group has all retreated. Although they are still wandering in the forest, they should not dare to attack again for a while."

"What's more, although those plateau hounds are ferocious and bloodthirsty, they are not stupid. Since yesterday's battle has proved that the Thorn Territory is a tough nut to crack, they will probably set their targets elsewhere."

Aaron analyzed rationally.

Plateau hounds have a clear division of labor. Just like what Aaron encountered during his previous food transportation, they are hounds that act as "scout".

Looking at the time now, those "scouts" who dispersed have probably brought the news back to the hound group.

As for the other places mentioned in Aaron's words, they naturally refer to the northern nobles who have stood by and watched in the Year of the Jackdaw.

Especially the Earl of Greywater City and the Viscount of Sunken Wood near Antolia.

The fiefdoms of these two nobles are the two closest to Antolia, but due to the relatively long distance, they have never been attacked by plateau hounds before.

And now,

Since the plateau hounds have found nothing in the thorn collar, it makes perfect sense to look elsewhere.

"What are our losses?"

After a while, Leon finally asked the topic that he had never wanted to mention.

"..."

Aaron was silent for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "There were heavy casualties."

"Tell me, I've already expected this."

Leon couldn't help but sigh.

Although we won yesterday, it was only a tragic victory after all. The hard and fierce battle was bound to cause a large number of casualties. This is an irreversible fact.

"Although the city was defended in this battle, Antolia's losses were also extremely heavy."

Aaron paused, looked at Leon's face carefully, and then continued: "In this battle, the mercenaries suffered more than 70 casualties, while the recruits you recruited earlier suffered more than 60 casualties, nearly one-third of them. two."

"In addition, there were nearly a hundred casualties among the hunters and civilians in the city."

"The total number of casualties is close to three hundred."

Three hundred casualties may not sound like a lot.

But for the Thorn Territory, which has a total population of only more than 3,000 people, this can be considered an extremely heavy blow, with the number of casualties accounting for one-tenth of the total population!

Even if most of the casualties were just injuries, proportionally speaking, the death toll would probably be around a hundred, but it would still be quite tragic.

And all Leon can do now is to keep the wounded soldiers alive as much as possible.

"Take out all the spirits stored in the castle!"

"all?"

Aaron felt that his lord's thinking had jumped a little, so he had to confirm again.

"Yes, all of them."

"Take people and distribute all the spirits in the family cellar to smear the wounds of the soldiers!"

Leon nodded and said with great certainty.

Even though Leon didn't know much about modern medicine in his previous life, he still knew a little bit about the principles of alcohol disinfection.

Since there is no high-level alcohol, let’s make do with spirits.

The physical fitness of the Antolian people is different from that of ordinary people, so it may not be able to achieve the same antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Although it is most likely not as effective as high-concentration alcohol, it is worse than nothing.

"First use strong alcohol to disinfect, and then wrap it in fine linen. Be sure to take good care of it to minimize the attrition caused by wound infection."

"Also, the cloth used to wrap the wound must also be steamed in boiling water."

As he spoke, Leon quickly searched for the steps to deal with the wound in the memory of his mind.

Although it may look a little crude, it is obviously countless times better than the level of military doctors in this era.

after all……

Even simple disinfection and sterilization are beyond people’s awareness in this era.

Aaron was a little confused about Leon's instructions, but he still nodded seriously.

After this battle,

He already knew in his heart that the knowledgeable Viscount in front of him was difficult to reason with common sense.

After talking about the aftermath and treatment of the injured, the room seemed a little depressed.

then,

Under Aaron's long-lost gaze, Leon finally asked:

"Tell me what you gained from this battle."

“Great harvest!”

At this moment, a hint of victory joy finally appeared on their faces.

"We have counted the carcasses of five to six hundred plateau hounds right now. If they were all dried and made into dried meat, they would weigh tens of thousands of pounds and could even be hung all over the city walls of the Thorn Territory!"

"Then hang it up!"

Leon said in a deep voice.

The corpses of hundreds of plateau hounds are not only a demonstration of Antolia's strength and a deterrent to plateau hounds, but also a shot in the arm for the people living on this land.

not to mention,

In addition to drying them into dried meat, the canine teeth of plateau hounds are also a rare good thing.

The daggers made from canine teeth are extremely sharp, even sharper than ordinary iron daggers.

"good!"

Hearing this, Aaron replied readily.

Everyone who lives on this land will have the desire to kill a plateau hound.

And such measures,

It will also push the prestige of this young lord to an unparalleled level.

Just changed it to hard liquor.

——

Regarding wine: What I found is that it has a bactericidal effect, but the low concentration is not ideal. The use of wine for disinfection and sterilization was relatively common in Europe in the Middle Ages, so I think the protagonist’s approach is reasonable.

Because some readers thought there was a big poisonous point here, I collected relevant information. However, the description of external use in the information was vague. Although Baidu said it could be used externally, the relevant journals only mentioned ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Hippocrates. , Galen and others gave examples. Although they mentioned the bactericidal effect, they did not explain it clearly.

I have never studied medicine. According to my current understanding, it can be used externally. If it is indeed not possible, please remind me in time and I will make corrections.
