Chapter 1061: The Living

The Ice Plains Demon Clan has scarce resources and a harsh living environment, which leads them to be good at cultivating bugs to assist them in battle.

The vitality of insects is very tenacious, especially the demon insects, which are thousands of degrees high in lava and minus 1200 degrees in the cold plains, there are traces of their activities.

The more extreme the environment, the easier it is to produce some special insects.

The eggs of the blight that were released into the water source this time are only one of the inconspicuous ones.

The eggs have a special cuticular membrane on the surface, which prevents them from melting the stomach acid, but instead neutralizes the stomach acid and makes it stick tightly to the stomach wall.

The temperature of the human body is ideal for the rapid hatching of eggs, which usually hatch within 72 hours of entering the body.

Once the larvae hatch, its innate toxins can induce vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, as if they were sick, and then in just three to five days, the person who eats and vomits will die of weakness and dehydration due to inability to take in food and water.

During this period, family members and neighbors who share food and water with the poisoned person will become cross-infected and have symptoms similar to those of the sick person, and the frail people such as the elderly, women and children are generally unable to fight the toxin and will die quickly in a short period of time.

These symptoms resemble those of a plague such as plague, which is why the bug is also called a blightworm.

This is a large category of demon insects cultivated by the demons, not a kind of bug.

Fortunately, blight insects generally have the characteristic that they do not pose any danger to humans until the eggs hatch.

As long as the eggs can be expelled in time and isolated well, you can get rid of the call of death.

"- Lime! Put lime in the well water! This kills the blight eggs! ”

With Lin An's words, from the slums to the aristocratic districts, the entire county town took action.

Even when night falls, the county town is still lit up all night long, looking down from the sky, like a city that never sleeps, the city guards come and go, crowded with trucks full of lime powder, and all the caravans and animals have to make way for the trucks transporting lime.

"Hurry, hurry! Pour it in! ”

"Get out of the way, dead old man, do you want to die!"

The city guards who went to the civilian area to pour lime and some old people pushed and shoved.

"No, this is a sweet water well, if you do this, you will destroy the water quality!"

There are hundreds of wells throughout the county, most of which are sweet water wells, which are the main source of water for the people of the county.

A few old people cried, trying to stop the fierce city guards from destroying the precious heritage left by their ancestors, but they were pulled and blocked by others.

"My life is almost gone, I don't care if the water is sweet or not!"

"The god of water is above, as long as our whole family can save their lives, I would rather drink bitter water!"

People were terrified when they heard about poisonous bugs in the water.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the city guards were also from this street, the old man was also highly respected in the neighborhood, and he was afraid that he would be beaten or even arrested in prison.

While thanking the neighbors, the children of the old people pulled the old man and the old mother aside and explained:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Daddy, I'm going to listen to the announcements read by the adults - it's okay, the Archmage said that the well water has the ability to clean itself...... Heck, anyway, the well water will be replaced regularly, and after a month or two, the lime will settle down, and the quality of the well water will not deteriorate! ”

Similar scenes are happening in all corners of the county.

Unbeknownst to the troubled people, in the sky above the county, dozens of detection eyes flew in the air, and the mages watched every corner of the county.

They see:

The aristocracy took the initiative to open the previously unattainable gates to allow the vehicles transporting lime to enter;

The water spray truck with lime water dragged the iron round belly water tank, and twelve iron pipes were erected diagonally above it, and walked through every street and alley of the county town;

Shy low-level government officials stood in front of the signs, loudly reading the contents of the notices to the illiterate onlookers;

The city guards in dark yellow uniforms roam the streets and alleys to catch gangsters who take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble;

In shantytowns where the city guards are relatively scarce, three hands wander the streets and alleys, taking the opportunity to find a target to attack;

The wealthy merchants and their dependents who were greedy for life and afraid of death wanted to leave the city, and their sneaky behavior was seen through by the guards, intercepted, and trapped on the stone pillars with their mouths gagged.

……

The jerky smell of lime permeates the county.

The morning star rises in the east, as if to herald the passing of a catastrophe.

"The effect is good, this method can be implemented, I will tell the Imperial Capital and the Mage Tower."

Descending from the sky on the balcony of the main building of the Blue Iris Castle, Lin An said to Princess Elizabeth:

"Next, it depends on how many people will have seizures in the next two days."

After a sleepless night, a faint blue shadow had appeared under Princess Elizabeth's eyes, and her well-maintained hands were interlaced with ten fingers, and she prayed sincerely:

"Goddess, may luck favor us!"

"Madame!"

A staff member suddenly came to report:

"The Marquis of Shelton and the Earl of Kidd gathered a few nobles and waited outside the castle, asking to see His Royal Highness."

In Ranster's absence, his first heir is the default ruler of the subordinate nobles.

Even if Elizabeth is the princess of the Merlin Empire, according to the tradition, she must be in the name of Little John in order to be the commander of the command.

When the nobles said this, they were actually asking to see the Grand Duchess.

"It's finally here."

Princess Elizabeth's eyebrows twitched slightly.

After getting married, the status of the Grand Duchess does not seem to be as much as that of the imperial princess Xuanhe, but she has far more access to power than the princess - the custom of the Muse Continent is that women can only manage the dowry and mining under their name after they get married, otherwise it is regarded as dishonorable--Lancet is often absent from the country, and she has long adapted to the transformation from a simple princess to a political animal.

Standing up without changing her face, letting the maid squat at her feet to sort out the wide skirt outlined by gold threads, Princess Elizabeth nodded calmly to Lin An:

"I'll be back later."

"Please."

Lin An smiled slightly, and asked with concern, "Do you need my help?" Some of them may have been with Earl Spout. ”

"The second son of Earl Spout used to be the biggest competitor of Randster, and after becoming a loser, he has long been abandoned by the nobles in power, otherwise he would not have gambled."

Princess Elizabeth explained:

"Lancet was called vindictive and mean, and gave them a respite."

"Although Earl Sbert was deprived of most important duties, the children of the family held several positions as squadron leaders in the city guard, so that they could use their positions to poison the well water in the entire county capital."

"Otherwise, if there were strangers who are not residents of the local area who frequently touch the wells, they would have already discovered the problem."

Lin An roughly understood the reason.

That's right, too.

Most of the targets of the Ice Plains Demon Clan should be facing desperate situations and nobility like this.

As long as this kind of aristocracy loses the struggle in politics, he will have a deep resentment towards most people, and he will do such a desperate act regardless of a single qiΔ“.

"The struggle within Stuart has reached such a cruel stage?"

"Every time there is an alternation of power, someone will ascend to the sky in one step, and someone will fall into the abyss."

"The succession of Ranster and my arrival have indeed led to a great deal of peace for Stuart. However, with or without us, the cake is only so big, only enough for so many people to share, and there will always be people out, which is unavoidable. ”

Born in the royal family, Princess Elizabeth looked at it relatively lightly, took this situation as usual, and smiled motherly:

"In order to avoid a similar fate for our children, we can only try to be the arbiters of fate, not the ones who are decided."

Motherhood is strong.

Even for the sake of Little John, Princess Elizabeth would not have two hearts for the Duchy of Stuart.

Lin Anxin thought that having such a duchess was a good thing for Lenster and Stuart.

……

Ice field.

The sound of shouting and fighting gradually thinned out.

Another victory.

"Report! The scout team of the fifth squadron has found the demon necromancer hiding and has caught up, and the Knight of the Knicks has asked to lead the team in pursuit! ”

"Order two hundred-man cavalry, led by Nix--sue him, I'm going to catch him alive."

Lancet thought for a moment and said.

The herald took the amulet he had dropped and took the order to leave.

The soldiers have begun to clean up the battlefield and dig out the shattered cores from the bodies of the ice and snow undead.

After researching, the military mage finally found the residual value of the ice and snow undead, and sent a request to the soldiers, and one magic core fragment could be exchanged for three silver coins.

Poverty is sometimes more frightening than death.

Killing ten ice and snow undead in exchange for more money than half a year's military salary, sending it back can make the parents, wives and daughters in the rear live a good life without working.

The soldiers were very enthusiastic, and the morale of the army was immediately raised.

They even spontaneously developed new tactics:

Wearing the core fragment on the body can blur the perception of the undead on the living, mistaking them for the same kind, and will not be detected until they are close to a certain distance.

With this trick, the soldiers were even able to set traps to ambush the undead who had lost their necromancer.

People can always grind and fight in difficulties, and then grow.

Either life or death, under the persecution of such an environment, people can burst out with unparalleled courage.

Even the terrifying undead are not invincible.

They're just a bunch of stupid people with frozen brains and dead brains.

The front is gradually advancing.

Not only the Blue Irises led by Lanster, but also to their east, west, and even front, the once invincible army of the undead has begun to show a rout.

Lancet's here is not yet a frontal battleground.

On the main battlefield of the Chinese army, the necromancers of the human race also began to appear on the battlefield, fighting against the undead, and the battle became more brutal and intense.

There was a dark blue magic god who came forward, and the sequelae in the undead control technique were eliminated.

Of course, it only eliminated the hidden dangers left by Sidney in the undead control technique, and if he had too much contact with negative energy, the mage would still be transformed, which was inevitable.

But neither the Reich nor the High Command had a choice.

After the new commander gave this order, he had already prepared envelopes and daggers in drawers.

The mission of the military is to achieve victory.

δΈ€qiΔ“ for victory.

"The wind was light and the sky was bright, so it was a good day to win."

And raised his thumb under his eyebrows, Ranster, who was surrounded by guards, narrowed his eyes, and the big one shook behind him.

He waved his hand slightly.

"Wrap up the team, take out the stored beef floss, and add dinner today!"

A cheer.
