"Bastard! The guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, Lao Tzu will make you look good one day! Gasan cursed in a low voice and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the anger on his face was almost on fire, and the guy who could make him curse like this was naturally the owner of the City Lord's Mansion behind him, that is, the City Lord of this Harrow City.

Ghassan was one of the three generals of Harrow City, in charge of a third of the city's army, and in a few days, he led the city's army into the stronghold of Devil Cry Island. Originally, Ghassan thought that he was attacking suddenly, and judging from the other party's performance, the retreat was also in a hurry, so there must have been a lot of property in the stronghold that he didn't have time to take away, but when he entered the stronghold, he found that this stronghold was like hell.

Remembering the situation when he led the team into the stronghold, Ghassan couldn't help but shiver, at the beginning when they entered the periphery of the stronghold, they found that everything was still normal, in some places that were obviously residential areas, they did find a lot of clothes and food that the Han people did not come and took with them, these things are good gains for them, but the property is not very much, which makes Gasan a little annoyed.

However, immediately after a soldier came to report, they found a grain depot in the stronghold, which was stacked with a large amount of grain, which made Gassan's mood excited, and the young and strong labor force in East Java was also reduced a lot, and a large number of fields could not be cultivated, so the price of grain rose again and again, and now only need to take out a hundred catties of rice to exchange for a beautiful tribal girl, and if this was placed in the past, it is simply unimaginable.

Unfortunately, the food surprise only lasted for a short time, just as Ghassan rushed into the inner city of the stronghold in high spirits, hoping to find more belongings and food. But what appeared in front of him was one corpse after another. Most of the corpses were placed in one bright room after another, and the windows of the rooms were inlaid with Han glass. It looks even more luxurious than the city lord's mansion in Harrow City.

But in such luxurious rooms, the corpses were disemboweled, the entrails were taken out, and they were placed in glass bottles next to them, and they were stored with precious spirits, and there were even rooms dedicated to the glass bottles containing the entrails, and the shelves were neatly arranged, and it was like walking in hell.

Ghassan and his men were also veterans of the brutality of the battlefield, but when they saw the hellish situation inside the stronghold. But there were also many soldiers who couldn't help but vomit, especially when they found an underground ice cellar, which stored many huge ice cubes, which were very valuable in Java, and could even be equivalent to gold, but in the gaps between these ice cubes, there were also many corpses.

In addition to the dead bodies, Ghassan also found some people alive, but they were all held in a special prison. Moreover, every prisoner was dying, his face was yellow or pale, and his whole body was thin and skinny, and he did not look much stronger than a dead corpse. And he also found that in addition to their local people, these prisoners also had some people from Persia and Tianzhu. He had seen people from these places come to Java to do business before.

From the mouths of these living special prisoners, Ghassan did not get much useful information. Those people in places like Persia and Tianzhu couldn't communicate at all, as for those locals. But I can't tell what this stronghold is for, I only know that after they were caught here, they were manipulated by those Han people in white clothes, and then they became seriously ill, and many people died under the torture of illness, so they called the Han people here white-clothed demons behind their backs.

In fact, Ghassan was not interested in what this stronghold was used for, he valued what he could get from the stronghold, but unfortunately their biggest gain was only those food and clothing, as for the goods, which made him feel a little frustrated, but he instinctively felt that this stronghold was a little strange, so he ordered the patients in the prison to be kept in the same way, and did not release them, as for him, he returned to Harrow City with the food and clothes collected in the stronghold.

When Ghassan returned to Harrow City, the stupid and fat Harrow City Lord took sixty percent of the spoils of war at once, and the forty percent left behind was not Gassan's own, and he also had to distribute the spoils to his subordinate generals, so that in this way, the benefits he could get were very few. It is precisely because of this that when Ghassan comes out of the City Lord's Mansion, he will curse the City Lord in a low voice that he is a bastard.

However, no matter how disobedient Gasan was, he did not dare to disobey the order of the city lord, because the other party was not only the city lord of Harrow City, but also the king's cousin, with him now only a general who counted thousands of people, in the eyes of the city lord there was no status at all, and even as long as the other party moved his mouth, he could be deprived of his military power, and without military power, he was nothing.

It is precisely because he knows this, so Gassan's exploitation of the city lord can only pinch his nose every time and admit it, at most he can only scold a few words behind his back, but scolding alone cannot kill the greedy and stupid city lord.

Thinking of this, Ghassan couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then lowered his head and walked towards the camp where his army was stationed, and at the same time he was also thinking about how to distribute the spoils of war in order to satisfy his subordinates, after all, if he wants to maintain his current position, he still needs to rely on the strength of his subordinates.

Gassan's army was stationed in the south of the city, with a total strength of only 3,000 men, and 2,000 of the 5,000 troops in the last raid on Devil's Cry Island were borrowed from another general, resulting in the loss of several hundred people, so this time the spoils of war also need to be given to that general to compensate for the losses of the opposing army. And Ghassan's own army suffered even greater losses, and the number of dead and wounded was a thousand, and the spoils of war this time were simply not enough to make up for the losses.

Thinking of these troubles, Ghassan couldn't help but sigh as he quickened his pace and walked towards his barracks. But as soon as he entered the barracks, something that bothered him even more came to him.

It turned out that the day after they returned from the stronghold, some of the soldiers in the army began to have fever for no reason, and some of them were accompanied by vomiting. At first, Ghassan didn't care, thinking that it was the natural reaction of the soldiers after taking the boat, but before he went to the city lord's mansion today, many soldiers' conditions began to worsen, and even some soldiers also showed symptoms of shortness of breath and body bleeding, which finally attracted Gassan's attention, and invited a wizard to treat him before going out.

But when he returned, the wizard did not cure the soldiers' illness, but several soldiers died of serious illness, and even some of the originally healthy soldiers began to have the same symptoms, which made Ghassan feel a bad premonition when he had just returned, and then thought of the dead bodies and patients in that strange Han stronghold, Ghassan seemed to understand something.

However, no matter what Gassan understands, it is too late now, the plague that Wu Tiande is studying in the stronghold of Devil Cry Island is the plague that has caused heavy losses to mankind, as one of the top ten plagues in human history, although the death toll caused by the plague has not been counted, but only one plague in Europe in the sixth century caused hundreds of millions of deaths, which lasted for decades, which shows the horror of the plague.

The Central Plains is also a high incidence area of plague, although with the progress of medical technology, as long as the correct prevention and control methods are taken at the beginning of the outbreak of plague, the large-scale spread of plague can be avoided, but it cannot avoid the death of infected people, every time the plague erupts, the death of tens of thousands of people is inconspicuous, and even sometimes a plague can make several states become ghost domains.

It is precisely because of the great harm of the plague that Wu Tiande listed the plague as the first target, and after several years of research, they did achieve great results, not only found several ways of transmission of the plague, but also designed a series of plague treatment and prevention methods, and some of them have been verified, if there is another half a year, the treatment and prevention of plague will be compiled into a book, and then distributed throughout the country.

But unfortunately, this critical process was interrupted by Gassan, a native general, and although the research materials were taken away, it is estimated that it will take a considerable amount of time to rebuild the research environment of the Devil's Cry Island stronghold. Afterwards, Wu Tiande was angry and couldn't eat for a few days, and even swore that if he knew which local bastard had ruined his good deeds in the future, he would definitely arrest all the women in his family as concubines to show revenge for this incident.

However, Wu Tiande's obscene revenge is obviously impossible to complete, because on the third day after the outbreak of the epidemic in Gassan's army, Ghassan also showed the same symptoms, and what is worse is that Ghassan's soldiers are not closed, and they are also in frequent contact with family members in the outside world, as a result, this has also led to the spread of the plague in multiples, and the number of deaths is increasing.

The climate of Java Island is hot, the rats, fleas and other creatures on the island are very prosperous, coupled with the communication between Harrow City and other cities, so from the beginning, the plague is not only an outbreak in Harrow City, but a wave of outward spread, and soon spread to the entire Java Island, and the lives of millions of indigenous people are all under the threat of plague.

In addition, because of the research needs of the Devil Cry Island stronghold, they will find all kinds of plague together, which also makes the plague on Java Island have many different plague symptoms when it breaks out, even in the 21st century in the future, it is enough to make the medical system of countless countries have a headache, not to mention that Java Island is still in the primitive stage of wizard healing.

In addition, according to later research, after the joint outbreak of a variety of plague bacilli, the plague on Java Island soon produced a variety of new variants, several of which are highly contagious and have a very high probability of death, which has also led to the occurrence of the largest humanitarian disaster on Java Island.
