As a royal city, the terrain of Sant'Antis is peculiar.

The Divine Road where the Ugin Hanging Palace complex is located is embedded in the Great Rift Valley, and the entire city of St. Antis is www.biquge.info with the Hanging Palace as a pen pavilion, extending all the way down from the west bank of the rift, and the terrain is evenly lowered, and from the shape of the map, it looks like a semicircle with the edge in and out.

The architectural style of the entire royal city is mostly in line with the Ugin Hanging Palace, and the color is calm and atmospheric. Standing on the highest hanging palace and looking down, countless roofs inlaid with black ink and gold wires are staggered, which can always give people a sense of grandeur with boiling blood.

Except for today......

Osvid, who received an urgent report from the royal city patrol cavalry, stepped on horseback without saying a word, and galloped out of the hanging palace with a small detachment of black armor and black horses.

It was pouring rain outside, day and night. Stagnant water flowed down the terrain and splashed under the horses' hooves.

There were a total of six large and small medical clinics in the royal city, and Osvid was high-headed and iron-hoofed, and he inspected them all. The swift and crisp sound of horses' hooves flowed back and forth through the streets of Wangcheng without pause. Probably because the atmosphere was so tense that even the residents of Wangcheng, who were accustomed to hearing the sound of horses' hooves, couldn't help but peek through the windows, and after a few glances, they hurriedly retracted, and the doors and windows were closed.

If you don't close it, you can't stop it, because the flying insects are infested, and you can't stop it.

"Your Majesty, you see, all the medical centers are packed." Peter Commander of the Patrol pushed the copper wire mask off his face and said to Osvid, "It was a little more chaotic before, it was raining heavily today, the road was already slippery, it was easy to fall, and once it was bumped, it would be completely impossible to move." The streets are full of people. I mobilized the whole city patrol army to disperse the people to the nearest medical center. But ......"

The streets were cleared, the people were temporarily settled, but the fear had spread inexorably.

If it's just one or two people, the message can be temporarily blocked so as not to cause more panic. But there are people everywhere in the city, so it's impossible to seal it. Although the royal city of Sant'Antis is large, rumors of truth and falsehood broke out in all corners of the streets and alleys at the same time, and it only took a lunch to spread throughout the city.

Peter said: "Most of them are old people and children, and they are prone to bumping and bumping, and now they all won the lottery like a gust of wind." We were afraid that we would not have a light weight in our hands, so we paid extra attention when we helped, and we delayed a lot of time back and forth. By the time most of the people had settled down and left the clinic, the streets were already what they are now. ”

Osvid tugged at the reins and glanced around, his solemn face hidden behind the copper wire mask, unable to see his expression.

Although the Golden Lion Kingdom has been suppressed for nearly seven hundred years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, at least the royal city can still be called lively. But now, a plague of insects and a strange disease of "petrification" has turned St. Antis into a lifeless empty city in just half a day.

Most of the houses are closed, for fear of leaking a little gap.

There was not a single sign of pedestrians in the criss-crossed streets, and there was not even a single human voice heard except for the medical clinic, which was overcrowded and crying.

The original calm tone of the main city, at this time, showed a great sense of ruin and emptiness, gray and dusty, without any vitality.

The royal city has become like this, let alone other places.

In the evening, the old priest of the Priest's Court rushed into the Hanging Palace with his body full of fat and flesh on the back of the vulture, and his two young deputies chased after him, looking as if they were sitting on the fire.

When they saw Osveld, they had almost rolled off his horse, and the old priest had not succeeded, for half of his body had been petrified.

"陛xià! Your Majesty, the Red Iron Army in the north and the Bronze Garrison in the west have all come to report urgently! The old priest lay on his horse and shouted.

The two deputies hurriedly lifted him down and leaned down in the chair with a gentle lift.

Osvid now felt his eyebrows jump when he heard the word "urgent": "This is also the case in the barracks? ”

"It should be!" The old priest nodded again and again before he could catch his breath, "Because it is a signal for help, let the palace add a medical officer to the garrison camp." ”

The long history of conquest has allowed the Golden Lion Kingdom to grind out a complete set of emergency signals, just like the letter sand, which will appear in the observation pool of the Divine Official's Courtyard, with different colors and states indicating different meanings. If this kind of information is systematic, the meaning expressed is limited after all. Therefore, only when it is extremely urgent, it will be relied on to deliver military reports.

Generally, when it is delivered, there will be a more detailed emergency report, which will be rushed back to the base camp through the traditional way. What Kevin was holding in his hand was the one he had just received.

He let go of the white eagle, who was almost out of breath, buckled his mask and turned over on his horse, entered the hospital without any obstacles, and almost galloped in front of Osvid before pulling the reins violently: "This situation has occurred in a large area in the bronze garrison, most of which were hit by the guide in the drill today, and now it has been urgently stopped." In addition, Miao said that he had been staring all day, and that the flying insects that found it were mainly coming from the northeast. He had now ordered someone to build a fire trough along the border, first block it with a smoke wall, and let the medical officer bring some medicinal herbs to burn together. ”

Before the vulture could fully brake, Kevin had already swept his long legs and flipped over, handing the newspaper to Osvid.

"Northeast?" Osvid pinched his eyebrows, quickly glanced at the general content, and said, "His northeast direction, isn't that the area of Mayne Town?" ”

Kevin nodded, and added thoughtfully, "But if you draw a line along the town of Mayne, you can stretch to the Kra River." ”

"You mean—" Oswald was about to speak, when another hoof of horses came closer.

“……”

Today's emergency military report is simply dropping down like no money, just sent away from the Divine Courtyard, Kevin's is here again, Kevin hasn't left yet, and Camus, the commander of the Red Iron Army's base camp, is also here.

The military report brought by Camus just filled in with what Osvid had left unfinished - the insects had come out of their nests along the Clara River.

"Rad led the men to turn over almost all the soil along the coast, and the ground was full of insect eggs. There had been before, but it wasn't so exaggerated, and Rad said that it was as if some kind of fertilizer had been applied to the banks of the river, and they planned to burn the soil aside and clean up some of it. But the rain was too heavy and the effect was not obvious. ”

"Fertilizer?" Kevin frowned. He couldn't help but think of the sand that had covered the ground that night, and it was impossible to touch it with his hands, except for the part that fell into the river, and almost all the rest was buried in the ground, so as not to injure anyone.

Could it be those sand piles that guide zhì?

Once things are related to the sand ghosts, anything becomes possible.

"Also, Rad arranged for a small group of people to go to the Northern Emerald Country, and guess what?" Camus said to Osvid, "The density of flying insects in the northern Emerald Kingdom is at least twice that of the river, and it is said that Sapir is sick even worse, and it is impossible to get up." His eldest son, Mankao, was gone, and the youngest son, Both, who had lost his mind, was urgently recalled to the royal city, not knowing what to do. ”

Bot was the little brute who had been holding McE and Shaw in the gambling house, and Osvid was angry when he remembered his unscrupulous face, and immediately sneered, and said: "Whenever a country is about to kick its legs to the end, God will always arrange a few fools for it to consume the last bit of breath that lasts for a long time. ”

However, the worse situation on the side of the Northern Emerald Kingdom made Kevin more convinced that those flying insects were related to the sand pile, to be precise, it should be related to the bottle of things that the sand ghost gave to the Northern Emerald Country. The mother worm that was pierced by his arrow, as well as the small flying insects that burrowed into the body of the Mankau guards, should be the culprits of this "strange disease".

Osvid obviously thought the same thing as Kevin, so he said with a cold face: "I knew that the sand ghost could not be so kind, and he gave Sapir help in vain and returned to his old nest. ”

The insect plague and the "strange disease" were enough to make the other tribes anxious and careless. And when the rainy season is over, they make a comeback, and the other tribes are already seriously injured, and they are easy to attack.

The most gritting thing is that even if you string together the causes and consequences and know their intentions, you have to continue to move forward, because it is urgent to resist the insect plague.

Everyone has been bitten by those flying insects to some extent, which used to be just a matter of itching for a few days, but now it has become a sword hanging over the head, and at some point, it can fall off when it is said, like an all-time reminder.

It was a very painful night, both in the palace and outside the palace.

Osvid stayed up all night, staring at the garrison's military newspaper. The Priest's Courtyard was also brightly lit, and several priests were lying on the edge of the observation pool, and their eyes did not dare to blink. The medical hospital is even more busy, and if you can dispense effective medicine powder one minute earlier, you will be relieved one minute earlier.

In addition to the Wangcheng Patrol Army, more Wangcheng troops were divided into countless squads and rushed to various towns in the Golden Lion Country overnight.

In the early hours of the morning, Ian, the old butler who had been on the grave for ten thousand years, couldn't move his head because he was struggling to his neck when he was sleeping, hardening from the top of his spine to the back of his head:

When the little lion class woke up in the early morning, he found that the ring finger and index finger of his right hand had also turned into a gravel shape because they had been pressed;

Angela's left eye turned a lifeless gray, as if a piece had been plucked from the statue and tucked into her own eye socket;

And in just one day's work, the gray-yellow dividing line on Sinia's elbow spread upwards by another centimeter:

……

Kevin propped his hands on Osveld's desk, his eyes drooped slightly, and said in a calm but undeniable tone: "It's not difficult to enter the tomb of Phae, I can do it alone." ”

Osveld couldn't help but scold: "Alone? Are you crazy?! Are you kidding! ”
