''Pull him out now, and get a surgeon. I do not want this man to die.'' You told two squires, who were busy looking for living among the dead.
With your objectives complete and the enemy in no way capable of pursuit, you quickly melted back into the forest, taking the heavily wounded Konrad with you.
''Can he make it? The life of this man could change the course of the war,'' you said to the surgeon as he began examining the wounded man.
"He might, if I can stop his bleeding, hand me that bottle with ethanol and some clean cloth." The surgeons began to take off Konrad's armour and then used scissors to cut through his clothes. Before looking back at you.
''Well, my lord, I think he can make it, but it will be a hard night for us. And some of us need to tend to our own wounded as well. But, for hygiene's sake, I ask that you leave us to our work if you please.''
While the persistent rains put a damper on any and all after-battle celebrations, most of the army could take a bit of rest for now with its leadership. The army gathered by Konrad would fall apart now that the ones responsible for feeding and paying them could no longer do that; it was a victory, one that you could be particularly proud of.
For about a week, Konrad was too weak to respond to anything except eating light meals and the changing of his bandages. Those bandages cover most of his lower chest and a portion of his neck, though the wound had been drying well, and the bandages could be removed soon.
As for ransom, for now he was too weak to properly travel alone, so you kept him in the infirmary for the time being. You marched your army out of the forest, scattering what few stragglers there had once been from Konrad's army. Ending up close to a tavern, where you decided to billet him for the time being.
He wasn't very handsome; with his sideburns, sunken eyes, and narrow mouth, he reminded you of a starved wolf. But on a more base level, you recognised that this man could be dangerous if he wasn't so terribly weakened.
''You have done well, young Adlershorst. I had erred when I decided to go to the forest; I suppose it was incautious, but I wanted to be quick.'' He winced at the last line.
"I defeated you in an ambush; some would say that would be dishonourable," you said.
''No, it was clever, is what it is. I would have done the same; my father would have done the same." He said.
''And your brothers?'' You wryly asked.
