Shante couldn't have imagined that he had spent several years and worked hard to establish a force in the province of Camillo, sacrificing countless people and spending countless people, but making wedding clothes for others.

"Lord Marshal, no, the epidemic has been discovered in the army!" Missouri, the magic staff officer of the Chinese army, walked into Shante's marshal mansion in a panic, and said straight to the point as soon as he entered.

"What, is there an epidemic in the army too?" Shante was taken aback, and then shouted angrily, "Didn't you tell you to take strict precautions? It's spring, the disease is spreading fast, and the rainy season is coming soon, so it's up to you to control it! How many people are sick now? ”

Missouri replied, "The garrison of York City is another hundred and thirty-eight, and the Eastern Route Army under the command of the lieutenant commander of Colenwal is also more than thirty sick!" ”

"What? Not just Yorktown, but somewhere else? Shante couldn't sit still, his face was puzzled, and he still hated and said angrily, "The information of the infection in other places has already spread here, indicating that the epidemic has already spread in the army, but you only told Ben Shuai now, don't you know the seriousness of the matter?" ”

Missouri hurriedly explained: "The epidemic needs to be observed for a period of time to be confirmed, and when it is not confirmed that it is an epidemic, we rush to conclusions, we are worried that it will cause panic!" ”

"Hehe, are you lucky and afraid of being responsible?" Shante said, "How can you confirm it now?" ”

"One hundred and thirty-eight people have been infected, twenty-eight have died, and we have completely concluded that it is an epidemic!" "Marshal," said Missouri, "this disease is very contagious, the source of the disease is unknown, and the vector is water, even moist air!" Once infected, we are helpless and have no way to deal with it, and all the sick people and affected areas have been quarantined in batches! ”

Shante's face changed greatly: "The rainy season is coming, if the humid air can be contagious, this is really too terrifying!" ”

Missouri said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and all the magicians have done their best to study this plague, but I think that with the strength of the magicians in our army, it is impossible to come up with a cure for this plague in a short time!" ”

"Although you are derelict in your duties, you also handled it properly, and you informed Ben Shuai of the seriousness of the matter, Ben Shuai doesn't blame you!" Although Shante was anxious and angry, it was more urgent to deal with the situation in front of him, so he said, "Do you have any contact with the magic guild in the city, and the civil epidemic is also very serious, do you think the magic guild in York City will sit idly by?" ”

"Like us, there is no way!" "In other words, no clue at all!" Marshal, now that we don't know anything about the epidemic, there is only one way to deal with it for the time being, and that is prevention! In addition to isolating the people involved, it is necessary to immediately clean up the sanitary corners, cut off all kinds of water sources, and everyone must drink boiled water......"

Shante waved his hand, interrupted Missouri's words, and said: "These are all things you have to do, how to do it, Ben Shuai doesn't want to know, you just need to tell Ben Shuai, can you control it, what do you need Ben Shuai to do?" ”

Missouri said in frustration: "Subordinates should be damned, please also ask the marshal to prepare for the spread of the epidemic on a large scale, the situation is not optimistic!" We need a lot of medicinal herbs, precaution-oriented herbs, and some herbs that may be able to cure epidemics, we all need them! But now almost all the pharmacies in the city and the province have been snapped up by the panicked people, and there are not too many reserves in the army, and in a short period of time, we have no source of medicinal materials at all! ”

"The matter of medicinal materials, Ben Shuai will find a way!" Shante said, "What's the use of blaming yourself, if Ben Shuai's self-blame is useful and can control the epidemic, why not blame Ben Shuai every day?" Do your own thing, think carefully, the sky falls, you must withstand it! ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

"The Revival City Magic Guild has a sacred blood vial, and there is no cure for diseases, if you can get the help of the Revival City Magic Guild, it would be great! Missouri, I'll write a letter to you immediately, and you send a magician to the Magic Guild in Fuxing City immediately! If the Magical Guild doesn't agree to lend us the Sacred Blood Vial, take my handwritten letter to the Council of Revival City, whether it's to meet Lord or Lady Higg, or Grand General Daniel, and ask them to help me control the epidemic immediately! ”

Missouri's eyes lit up, but then he said, "Fuxing City has officially declared its neutrality and will not participate in the affairs of the army, will they help?" ”

"This is not only a matter of the military, but also the epidemic among the people! You can ask the wizards of York City to come along! Shante said, "Fuxing City is Fuxing City, and the Magic Guild of Fuxing City is a Magic Guild, these are two different things!" Even if it is Fuxing City, it is impossible to see death without saving! Without further ado, I'll write you a handwritten letter right away! ”

……

"The Marshal came to the Humble House in person, making the Humble House shine!" In the manor north of York, the old lady Beverly was in the outer courtyard, and said to Shante in a strange voice, "I wonder if the marshal is coming this time, is he going to wash the village in blood?" ”

"Madame laughed!" Shante said with a smile, "That misunderstanding has long passed, I came to visit alone today, and I want to meet the owner Mr. Owen on important matters!" ”

"It's okay to come to the door to visit, and if you have something to come to the door, it's an uninvited guest!" Although all these years had passed, Beverly was still haunted by the Crusaders' attack on the manor.

"Madame, don't be kidding!" Shante hurriedly said, "It's about the epidemic, presumably Mrs. also knows that the matter is urgent, and Mrs. is benevolent, and she will definitely not miss such a big thing!" ”

"Well, it's a big deal, but Owen isn't on the bank!" Beverly said.

"When will I be back?" Shante was very anxious and hurriedly asked.

Beverly said: "It's hard to say, he has business everywhere and usually rarely returns to the village!" ”

Shante's heart was suddenly cold, and he didn't speak, and after a long time, he raised his head and said to Beverly: "Madam, what happened many years ago was completely a misunderstanding, although it was my subordinates who punished the evil, but I can't escape the blame!" Today, I once again apologize to my wife, and I hope that my wife will not care about how young and vigorous she was at the beginning, and I am willing to bear how my wife will be punished! ”

"Forget it, I'm just talking angry!" Beverly sighed, "If it weren't for the old owner's serious illness and Mr. Higg's mediation, I would have to fight you to the death!" Owen has already explained the misunderstanding to me, and I won't care about it! Since the stakes are high, let's go into the inner courtyard and speak! ”

Shante exhaled heavily, and his nervous mood immediately relaxed, and the marshal of the First Army was fiddled with by Beverly like this, and he was replaced by someone else, and he had already made a fuss, but Shante did have a request for Owen and had to deign to accommodate Beverly.

Entering the inner courtyard, the two finally got down to business.

"It's easy to talk about medicinal materials, and Zhuang Shang is also obliged to do this!" Beverly readily agreed to Shante's request, promised to organize the strength of the Zhuangli caravan, and went around to purchase local medicinal herbs from all over the world, "But, Marshal Shante, please forgive me, this epidemic has come too strangely!" ”

"Madame's eyes are like torches, I really admire them!" Shante said, "That's right, this epidemic is really incomprehensible! ”

"Oh, what did the marshal find?" Beverly asked curiously.

"In the past, the source of the epidemic can be found, and there is generally only one outbreak point, and then it continues to spread from the entire outbreak point!" "But now, in the entire province of Camillo, there are many of the same outbreaks at almost the same time!" The information I have now received, whether it is military or civilian, is at least 15 sources, how can this be a natural outbreak of the epidemic? ”

"This is indeed doubtful, but this alone is not enough to explain anything!" Beverly laughed, "Lord Marshal must have discovered something!" ”

"According to the latest data, there are now more than 800 people who are infected with the disease, more than 230 deaths, and there are no cured cases!" Shante continued, "High fever, vomiting, and diarrhea that look like cholera, but the drugs used to suppress cholera don't do anything at all! There is a little information that arouses my suspicions, it is another thing that I have come to the village to ask for help this time, and I hope that Madame will not shirk it! ”

"What's the message?"

Shante said: "In addition to the number of infected people in the army, there are more than 500 cases of people infected with the disease, and I sent people to conduct a secret investigation of the background of more than 90 cases of patients around Yorktown, and found an unbelievable phenomenon, that is, among the more than 90 cases, not a single one is a Catholic!" ”

"Not one?" Beverly asked in surprise.

"Not a single one!" "There are millions of people in Camillo Province who are Catholics, that is, at least one out of ten people is Catholic, and the proportion of Sons of Heaven in York City is even higher!" According to the calculation of one Catholic in ten people, there are more than 90 cases, and there is not a single Catholic identity, if the explanation is a coincidence, even if Madame believes it, I will not believe it! ”

"You mean, the Pope did it?" Beverly was surprised, "But the Catholic Church is based on the doctrine of atonement and repentance, so it should not do such a thing that destroys the conscience!" ”

"Yes, but now the Catholics of Camillo have deviated from their teachings, they are radical, fanatical, they have a desire for political and military power, which at least shows that they have this motive!" ”

"Tolstoy? I didn't think he was a good thing! Beverly said indignantly, "Kill the lord and instigate the disciples to do something that hurts the conscience!" What do you want me to help you? ”

Shante said: "If Tolstoy did it, then I and my army will inevitably become the target of his key prevention, and it is inconvenient for my people to conduct an in-depth investigation of Tolstoy!" The old lady and the owner of the house have been operating in York City for a long time, and they are deeply rooted and well-connected, and it is not easy for Tolstoy to investigate this matter in a civil way! Of course, this matter is risky, and if Madame feels embarrassed or inconvenient, I will ask for another way! ”

"Hey, hey, that's interesting!" Beverly sneered, "This matter, I dare to guarantee that Tolstoy did it, Marshal Shante, you have to be careful!" Can you come to Owen and tell the whole story, explain the misunderstanding, I don't look at Owen's face, but also Mr. Higg's face, and besides, let Tolstoy succeed, what good will it do to the province of Camillo, and what good will it do to our village? After the last incident, I was already at odds with the Catholics! Tolstoy, this time you are playing big, you dare to do such a dehumanizing thing! Marshal Shante, I've done you a favor! ”
