Under the gaze of the two "creators", the army that poured out of the city of Crispy Chicken Leg Fort advanced towards Lin Chi's city in a mighty way.

However, unlike the division of troops in ordinary wars, this army is like a long snake, slowly "crawling" across the desert, and there is no formation at all. Aside from leaving soldiers in the rear to protect the supply lines, the army was almost completely tactically devoid.

"Damn, you're not doing this well...... "Crispy Chicken Leg Burger muttered with a frown.

- Although this army was led by five generals and had an innumerable number of officers under them, they had almost no idea of how to arrange troops in a real war, in other words, they had no experience in actual combat.

In such a situation, these generals, who only understand tactics and do not understand strategy, have no idea of dividing their troops at all, but only lead the army all the way forward, preparing to use the "crowd tactics" to capture the opposite city.

After hearing the slogans shouted by some of the soldiers, the blonde creator was noticeably in a worse mood:

"For the sake of His Holiness the Pope, take that city!"

Some of the fanatical believers among the soldiers, dressed in light armor of rough workmanship, held high the banner of the Church, and their gestures exuded a barbaric air. It's like a walking bomb, so that the ordinary soldiers next to it hide far away, and there is no intention of approaching at all.

Because they were influenced by the "pope" at a low level of education, these fanatics have become a destabilizing factor in the army, and they do not actually follow the orders of the generals to go on the march, but only want to massacre the "infidels".

In fact, these people did not even obey the empress, but worshipped the pope as the sole leader. The most terrifying thing is that there are quite a few of these guys, and in this army, there are close to 10,000 people who are followers of the Pope!

Seeing the fanatical appearance of those guys dancing with knives and guns, Lin Chi said thoughtfully: "I see, do you borrow a knife to kill people......

The two players who were playing cards could see that the reason why the Empress did not eliminate these almost insane believers, but let them go with the army, also meant to "consume" these people in battle.

After all, the Pope is still in the city, and if he openly sends troops to purge his followers, it is likely to lead to riots among other believers, and it will be more troublesome at that time.

However, the opponent's army does not seem to be very reliable, and the army of 100,000 people should not be underestimated.

Lin Chi's city now has a total of only 60,000 soldiers, and once it falls into a siege battle, it is only a matter of time before the city is breached if the other party's supply line cannot be cut off.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the approaching army, and then looked at the remaining cards in his hand. Then he smiled slightly, and calmly played a card:

NO.13 - Grim Reaper.

Orthodox.

Death descends on enemy city-states, randomly killing one-fifth of the population and infecting the remaining one-fifth of the population with the plague.

When he saw this card, the blonde man's face changed suddenly, and it was clear that he also knew exactly what the "Grim Reaper" card meant:

This kind of offensive tarot card that can destroy the population proportionally can still be controlled at the beginning of the game, after all, there are not many people in the city at that time, and even if a fifth of the population is eliminated, it will soon be able to rise back.

But in the current situation, the level of disaster caused by playing the "Grim Reaper" is simply unbelievable!

Under the frightened gaze of "Crispy Chicken Leg Burger", some of the citizens in his city first began to have an inexplicable fever, and an irregularly shaped lump appeared on their bodies, and then they began to cough wildly as if they were suffering from pneumonia, and even spit blood out of their mouths.

At the same time that the whole body began to bleed, these poor people infected with the plague fell ill with sepsis, and black patches grew on their skin, and died in excruciating pain.

"It's ......"

Seeing the citizens of the city turn into dead corpses one after another, the face of the crispy chicken leg burger suddenly turned pale, even if you have not studied biology, as long as you have studied history, you know what the epidemic is spreading:

In that city was the terrible plague that killed 20 million Europeans in the Middle Ages: the Black Death!

This plague brought from rats wiped out tens of millions of people and changed the history of mankind in a sense. Today, it has a more commonly used official name, the plague.

With the introduction of antibiotics, the plague was no longer as deadly as it was in ancient times. But in the age of this game, the humans in the city are simply unable to resist the plague!

"Holy."

Witnessing the tragic situation of the residents of the city, the blonde man couldn't help but curse, although he also wanted to play the "Grim Reaper" for revenge in the later stage, but his Grim Reaper card had already been used on the slave in the front......

With the outbreak of the plague in the city, the supply lines in the rear of the army immediately stopped operating, and the army of 100,000 people had already entered a state of starvation due to the lack of food before they could reach Lin Chi's city gate.

Seeing that the expression of the crispy chicken leg burger was distorted, Lin Chi smiled and reminded very intimately: "It's time for you to play your cards." ”

Realize that if you don't withdraw your troops, not only will you not be able to capture the enemy's city, but you will also lose your own city. Crispy Chicken Leg Burger cursed something in a low voice, and could only play the card that had just been played in the previous round again:

Little Arcana - Sword.

The second use causes your army to retreat and you are judged defeated.

Small Arcana cards are not counted in your remaining cards, are not restricted, can be used every turn, and will automatically return to your hand at the start of the next turn.

He then played the second card of the round again.

On the golden card, a warrior is depicted hanging upside down with a golden angelic halo looming behind his head.

Even if you know you're about to die. The man's expression was calm, not at all like he was suffering.

NO.12 - The Hanged Upside Down.

Orthodox.

The Hanged One symbolizes sacrifice, and using this card will sacrifice a portion of your city-state's "sacrificeable" inhabitants, giving the remaining inhabitants a strong effect, and boosting their vitality and morale. and gives your city an indomitable effect for 2 turns, which cannot be destroyed by enemies in any way.

When the blonde man played these two cards, the army he sent began to retreat, and the bonus effect that had been obtained by the "chariot" disappeared due to the fact that it was judged defeated.

At the same time as the army retreated, the "upside-down hanger" symbolizing sacrifice also had an effect:

The doctors in the city all risked their lives to save lives, and scholars immediately began to study a cure for the Black Death. And those patients who have become ill and know that they have no hope of survival have begun to leave the city on their own initiative and hobbled towards the desert in the distance.

- To protect your family, loved ones, friends, and other residents of the city. The plague sufferers showed their courage one last time by dying generously!

I saw several elderly people coughing up blood, helping each other to walk into the depths of the desert. Lin Chi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to these people and exclaimed, "They are very brave. ”

As he spoke, he drew two golden tarot cards again and threw them onto the table in front of him.
