No matter when, the growth of every hero is accompanied by a thousand calamities. Even Yuan Zhao, who has reached today's status, still can't avoid the upcoming difficult situation.

As expected, among the more than 30,000 people who retreated into the royal city, an atmosphere of panic began to appear. This is inevitable, and even the officers and soldiers of the Han army with good military literacy are worried in the face of unknown dangers.

Especially in the current situation, they do not know what fate awaits them. There was no trace of the enemy, but they were trapped in the lonely city. This is undoubtedly an ordeal.

Although no one dared to disobey the order issued by Yuan Zhao himself. But after all, there are many people who don't think so, or have other emotions. They are all soldiers who charge on the battlefield, how can they cower for some inexplicable reason!

Listen to the grim-faced medical officers say that the reason for this decision was to prevent the occurrence and spread of a terrible plague. Several lieutenant colonels patted their chests proudly, laughed and said how is this possible? They all have strong physiques and high morale, even if there is a little illness, what is there to fear!

The medics shook their heads and sighed. They knew that their explanations would not be convincing to the men who were fighting in the army. But they believed that Yuan Zhao's judgment would not be wrong. For this reason, everyone stepped up to prepare some precautions and closely monitored the situation of those who were unconscious.

The lieutenants did not take the nervousness and busyness of the medical officers seriously. In their opinion, this is a bit of a fuss. Although no one dared to say it out of respect for Yuan Zhao, there was still a slander in his heart. In particular, this caused tension among the sergeants, and everyone thought that the gains outweighed the losses.

However, they never imagined that the terrible epidemic that the doctors had called would begin to break out on a large scale almost overnight. And it was out of control, and in a very short period of time, everyone realized the horror of the Great Plague.

There were many sergeants who were in great health, but within two or three days, they all began to develop a high fever and fell into a coma or semi-coma, and they could not get up again after they collapsed. Although some people can still eat and drink, they are no longer conscious.

Several leading lieutenants were taken aback at this moment. They nervously followed the medical officer who had arrived in a hurry, and looked at them with heavy faces as they looked at them. I suddenly realized how confused I was saying before!

"What Yuan Gong said is really not wrong! It is likely that they were infected by the disease, just like the previous wounded. ”

The faces of the medical officers were very unsightly. Once the previous fears turned into a terrible reality, everyone in this royal city, including them, would probably not be spared. Although it is not certain how many people have been infected, now that the outbreak has begun, the consequences are unpredictable!

"Could it be...... Will anyone who retreats into the royal city end up like this? ”

I watched his sergeants begin to lose their combat effectiveness in large numbers, and life and death were unpredictable. The captains, who had not yet felt anything unusual in their bodies, finally lost their composure. To die in a heroic battle on the battlefield is a well-deserved death. But the feeling of being trapped in this city, waiting for death to come, is probably the most tragic thing for a warrior.

"We can't be sure how many people will survive and how many will die...... Alas! Yuan Gong made such a decision, and he had no choice but to do so. ”

The lieutenant and the others around him bowed their heads. In fact, they don't need to explain to the doctors, they all understand. As a qualified commander-in-chief of the whole army, this is certainly the most correct choice. However, the faint sadness in my heart is difficult to dispel.

"Yuan Gong led the most elite 130,000 troops of the Han Dynasty to open up this golden passage of 10,000 miles, aiming to level the Western Continent, and now is the most critical moment...... If our sacrifice can keep the entire army of the Western Expedition safe, then even if we die in this city, it will not be a pity. ”

The captain at the head of the school turned red and spoke generously. This is not his outrageous words, but the real thoughts in his heart. If it had to be, he believed that not only would he obey the order and be willing to die, but others would do the same.

"I hope that the brothers in the army in the camp outside the city can survive this catastrophe safe and sound...... With Yuan Gong here, I believe that he will lead everyone to continue to conquer this continent until complete victory is achieved. ”

Looking at the flags flying outside the city, I thought that from now on, many people here may never have the opportunity to continue to fight with the army. Although they were all a little sad in their hearts, there were still people who whispered softly and blessed them sincerely.

In a sigh of embarrassment, the night fell, and darkness fell again. And what will it be like tomorrow? No one dares to think about it, and no one has the courage to guess. Perhaps, there will be an even greater catastrophe. Perhaps, a large number of people will gradually die...... The royal city in the dark night was dead silent. Countless joys and sorrows are staged in everyone's heart.

And a hundred miles away from the royal city, the clouds were surging over the mainland, and under the sky, there were countless ambitions and madness, brewing and expanding in the night.

The light of the burning torches reflected the faces of the Persians with murderous intent in mind. They made a comeback again, and finally rushed back here. And this time, they did so with the confidence of victory, or rather the determination to die together.

The eyes of the Persian prince shone with a strange light. Not long ago, he and his followers had finally found the place where the indigenous tribe lived in the dense forests of the wilderness. Half coerced and half inducemented, the descendants of the indigenous people acceded to their demands. Willing to help and put together

The Han army that broke into the Western Continent was wiped out.

From the elders of the indigenous peoples and the witches, the Persians learned many secrets of mysterious powers. They drank a potion prepared by the indigenous witches, which is said to be extremely bitter and unique to the indigenous people. Its biggest function is to protect the body from infection for a short period of time.

Legend has it that many years ago, there was a terrible disease that swept across the continent. Wherever death goes, no one is spared. Later, it was the chiefs of the indigenous peoples who were taught by the gods to get the formula of this medicine. And with its help, the indigenous people were rescued. And the evil spirits that once spread the plague have since been sealed in those underground tombs. There will never be a chance to come out and harm the world.

No one knows whether this legend is true or not. Legends are just legends after all. But the desperate Persians prefer to believe that this is true. And the natives did not disappoint them, and for some reason, they decided to help the Persians. Thousands of years apart from the world underground secrets have been revealed, and the evil forces that were once cursed have broken through the ground...... They finally showed their ugly and terrifying true colors.

"You say, how much effect will the curse of the devil have on the Han people?"

Hearing the prince's inquiry in an uncertain tone, the Persian nobles, who had somehow become extremely violent, let out a wild laugh while biting the half-baked meat in their hands. At this fire, it was chilling.

"No matter how powerful the Han people are in war, they are not iron-clad. The prince was assured that as long as they were flesh and blood, they would not be able to withstand the invasion of disease...... Along the way, the test specimens we saw with our own eyes were enough to explain the problem. Hehehe! ”

Hearing them say this, the Persian prince also sneered. He didn't care about the changes in the temperament of his subordinates. This is most likely the effect of drinking a potion prepared by the indigenous people. As long as the demon's curse can deal a fatal blow to the Han army, none of this is a big deal. Thinking of the harm inflicted on the Kiss and the Spartans in the areas they passed, those tragic scenes were indeed very satisfying.

"I really want to see with my own eyes what the situation is inside the Han Army! They could never have imagined that the dead soldiers of our Persians would sneak into the royal city with a demonic curse without them even knowing it...... Now that so many days have passed, it must have worked, right? If the Han army has lost its combat effectiveness, it is the best time for us to launch an attack...... The day when he is tied up should not be far away! ”

The Persian prince spat out the evil breath in his chest and drank the wine in the jar with a grunt. Then he irritated and ripped open his chest, threw the jar to the ground, and smashed it to pieces. At such a moment, he would love to draw his knife and slash and kill.

The distance from the Han army is not far away. A large number of dead soldiers were sent out to find out the news. They were tasked with finding out the real situation inside the Han army at all costs. Murderous and bloodthirsty, right at hand, all the Persians can't wait.

"But I didn't expect that some little rats would be able to help us achieve this great feat! His Royal Highness the Prince, after killing all the Han army, how to clean up the mess and restore the majesty and status of the Great Persian Empire needs to be considered in advance. ”

"There is no need to think about it so much, as long as we have a knife in our hands! If you can pose a threat in the slightest, let them disappear. Just like the natives this time, after lending us the curse of the devil, there is no need for them to exist anymore...... Hehe! ”

The sneering laughter of the Persian princes and the wild laughter of the nobles are intertwined, showing great arrogance. Not only them, but also the 80,000 Persian warriors under their command, who had become extremely bloodthirsty, also stood up and roared into the night sky...... This time, no matter what enemy you are fighting against, you will be torn to shreds!
