"On the contrary, Mayor Gollas, I'm saving Italy!" Eugen said with a serious expression, and then he was no longer polite, and directly ordered: "Mayor Golas, now in the name of the commander of the disaster resistance army, I order you to send a notice to all the cities and villages along the Po River, informing them of the establishment of a defensive line, and to mobilize all the troops. ”

The position of commander has a high level of authority.

Under this appointment, Eugen had the right to requisition all military and governmental forces in his jurisdiction, to use all resources, and to accomplish a specific task.

Most of the time, the task of the commander is mainly to defeat the enemy, and he can only command a small part of the area where the war is taking place.

But now, Eugen is the commander of the disaster army, and theoretically, wherever there is a disaster, all the forces there are under his command.

This is also the reason why Mead was obviously the same earl as him before, but he had to obey his command.

Now that Eugen has arrived in Venice, although there is no disaster in Venice, he has the right to give orders to the mayor of Venice if he wants to establish a line of defense against disasters.

In fact, Eugen said that he should go to the local lords, but after learning the news of the spread of the disease, the lords of these places had already run out, so Eugen did not waste that time and went directly to the mayor.

Mayor Golras's expression froze when he heard this, and his breathing tightened a little, but finally he nodded, accepted Eugen's order, and began to make arrangements.

Just kidding, he didn't dare to refuse Eugen's order, and if Eugen cut him down in a fit of rage, there would really be no place to reason.

After all, people even killed the earl, and he was a little baron, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

Eugen was very happy to see that Mayor Geras was very cooperative. However, if he knew the mayor's true thoughts, he would definitely cry and laugh, but he didn't expect that his actions would actually bring him a reputation as a murderous demon, which is really unpredictable.

I have to say that Mayor Golras is really efficient.

The day after Eugen's order was issued, official documents bearing the seal of the Commander were transmitted to the major cities along the Po River, centered in Venice.

Venice as a transportation center, although mainly by sea, land transportation is also very prosperous, there are many major roads leading to the surrounding major cities, can quickly pass the news out, which is one of the important reasons why Eugen chose Venice as the center.

At this moment, most of the forces of the current Disaster Resistance Army, including the intelligence officer Spider Dimmit, are concentrated in the city of Florence.

Although they no longer had a commander, these people took action on their own initiative and built a temporary line of defense in the city of Florence to try to control the infected people and reduce the spread of the disease.

It's just that the effect is really unsatisfactory, Florence is also a large city, although not as prosperous as Rome, but the population is also very dense.

In particular, the influx of refugees from the disaster area has made the city overcrowded, which has greatly increased the possibility of the spread of the disease.

In this case, Dirmit and the others had almost lost control of the disease, and they did not know if any of the sick had crossed Florence and headed inland, or if the disease had broken out in the city.

The only thing they know is to constantly search for the sick person, isolate him, wait for him to gradually die, and then set him on fire.

This kind of aimless and directionless prevention and control can really play a very little role, and even the morale of the anti-disaster army has begun to waver, and the phenomenon of desertion has even appeared in the army.

"Report! Oh no, Lord Dirmit, some of the soldiers have symptoms of infection, and although they have been quarantined in time, many soldiers have seen this situation and began to flee from the ranks one after another. ”

A guard ran to Dimit in a panic and began to report, because he had assisted the Minister of Defense and Eugen, the current intelligence officer Dimit had become a 'lord', and he was in charge of all the defense affairs of Florence.

Hearing the guard's report, Dirmit couldn't help but clench his fists, and there was an angry look in his eyes.

He was angry at his own powerlessness, which was unavoidable at the moment, and soldiers were human beings, and without proper methods and management measures, those of them who were in frequent contact with the sick would naturally be more susceptible to the disease.

They may be brave and fearless, and they will not flinch even when they set foot on the battlefield, but in the face of the silent murderers of disease, many of them have lost their courage and began to flee from the army.

Before this, the total number of anti-disaster troops was about 5,000, but after the changes during this period of time, this number has dropped sharply, and there are only more than 3,000 people left.

This means that in just a few days, a thousand soldiers have either died or fled.

Two thousand, probably so many soldiers died in a major battle, and for disease, this is only the beginning.

Before Dirmit could breathe back, another soldier rushed in, ran to Dirmit and said: "Oh no, Lord Dimit, there are a large number of refugees approaching not far from the south gate of Florence, the number of which is more than 10,000, and it has been observed that there seem to be sick among them!" ”

"What!" Another thunderbolt from the blue, 10,000 refugees, according to the rules, all of them should be quarantined, but they simply don't have that many people, and they don't have so many rooms to isolate patients. "Anyway, stop them first, don't let them into the city!"

Dirmit immediately ordered, this is a strategy, but it can also solve the urgent need.

As soon as the soldier was ordered to run out, another soldier ran in: "Report, the patients in the eastern side of the quarantine rushed out, we are not manpowered, they began to run towards the city, trying to escape from our quarantine. ”

"It's over......" Hearing this, Dirmit sat on the ground, the situation was completely broken, he could no longer think of any countermeasures, and the disease was completely out of control.

"God, are you going to give up on us?" Dirmit lamented blankly.

At that moment, another soldier ran in, and Dirmit stared blankly at the soldier, who was now almost numb to the bad news, as if any bad news could no longer cause him any more emotional turmoil.

"Report, Count Eugen has reassumed the command of the Disaster Relief Army, and has now established a defensive line in Venice, this is a notice from Venice."

Hearing this, Dirmit's eyes finally lit up, and he seemed to really see it...... The radiance of God!
