Chapter 1365 Reinforcements
The old and young city lords had no choice but to arrange for people to continue to monitor and focus on dealing with the epidemic. Under their investigation, the outbreak was more than they could handle. Since this disease is a terminal disease with no solution, and there has never been a case of infectious disease before, whether it is a doctor or an alchemist, they are helpless against the epidemic. As a last resort, Hawke had no choice but to issue an order to block all the gates and prevent the vast majority of people from entering and leaving.
While the whole city was in a state of panic, the bad news came again. The speed at which the Maharaja of the royal family moved south was superb, and he had hardly suffered any major battles along the way, and he was already very close to the city of Kleikin. The only thing that comforted Hawke a little was that the other party also detected the outbreak of the epidemic in the surrounding villages and towns, and then stopped entering the king, and camped directly in place, blocking the road north of Kleekin City.
"Isn't there anything left out of the Physicians' Association of Physicians?!" Hawke shouted to his subordinates: "Yesterday, a few more civilians were captured and thrown into the Old Town!" There are already nearly 4,000 people in that place! If the number of infected people continues to increase day by day! When the time comes, we don't have to do it with the royal monarch hundreds of miles outside the city, we will be finished first! ”
"I'm so sorry, master..." Seeing the city lord's rage, the faithful servant immediately leaned down, knelt down on one knee and said, "This plague has existed since the time of the wilderness, and mankind has never found a cure for it. For thousands of years, countless physicians and alchemists have tried to do this, but they have all failed. Uh, master, this is not an easy task, you better give them some more time... ”
"I know! I know it can't be cured! I did let them develop a healing potion! But! Hawke took a deep breath: "I said, this is not forced, I know their ability!" The point is, my main task is to get them under control! So that they don't infect the rest of the city! There are hundreds of thousands of people here! ”
"Master, about this... The servant frowned, and after thinking for a few seconds, he spoke: "The subordinates also feel strange, it stands to reason that we control the water source, and the water of all the city residents is purified by alchemy, and the food aspect is also controlled early in the morning. Coupled with other measures to prevent diseases in general, it is similar to burning the clothing and utensils that have been touched to bury an infected person. We did everything we had to do, but the disease was never under control. At the same time, the subordinates also carefully investigated the location of the outbreak of infection, well, they are not close to each other. Even the two closest places are separated by three streets... ”
After listening to the servant's narration, Hawke frowned, pondered for a few moments, and asked, "Greddy, get up, and tell me your guess." ”
After the servant named Greddy got up, he continued to speak seriously: "Master, the situation is very strange, except for the initial outbreak, other scattered infection points are scattered and scattered. Even if we arrange for soldiers to cordon off the area, in other areas, there will soon be another infection point, which cannot be controlled at all... But this mode of transmission is so abnormal that no disease can be transmitted in such a cunning way, even if it is 'Magic Stone Disease'! Therefore, the subordinates suspect that the spread of this terrible disease is man-made! ”
"Artificial?! Do you have proof? Did anyone else find anything?! Hawke asked anxiously.
"No, master, no." Greddy shook his head and continued, "But the subordinates and others who investigated the matter agreed that there must be an unknown enemy behind this matter! ”
Hawke rolled his eyes and asked softly, "I also think this matter is weird, that, the old fox, how is the investigation?" Isn't he? ”
Greddy shook his head again, "No, master, Lord Wolf stays in the office as usual. The only person he came into contact with was his exclusive secretary, Hajim. Well, the only difference may be that he has been back in his residence for longer because of the recent lockdown and reduced government affairs. ”
"So when he got home, did he come into contact with anyone?" Hawke continued to ask.
"I'm sorry, master..." Greddy sighed, "Although I didn't enter the house to check, the surrounding sentry dared to guarantee my life, and absolutely no one entered his residence, not even anyone who was close to him. ”
(Hmm, am my father and I wrong for the old fox?) Does it really have nothing to do with him?! Hawke was a little torn, and both he and the old lord agreed that Wolf was the main accomplice, if not the culprit. However, the results of the probe are not ... 2018
"Greddy, please, continue to investigate! No matter how many people you use, check it out for me! The city lord of Hawke continued to order: "Please increase the intensity of the blockade!" Also, I have to ask those citizens not to make trouble for me! Whether it's spreading rumors, or secret gatherings, or even daring to violate the ban, arrest me and drive me out of the city! It's best to catch a few typical ones in these two days! So that other crooked minds can see what will happen to the Nisko family! ”
"Yes! Master! Greddy saluted, and then went on to report, "Speaking of Lord Wolf, most of the aid he asked for from the other cities has already arrived, and this is the current statistical report. ”
"Oh?!" Hawke's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the report from Greddy. After looking at it for a few seconds, he frowned and asked, "The numbers are correct?" Why did you come to that point? Then the old fox is going to ask for a little help?! ”
"Uh, master." Greddy looked embarrassed and whispered, "Your Excellency Wolf will definitely not only ask for this kind of soldier, you know him, and I want to gather all the soldiers... Well, but in the past few months, his actual power has also depended on you and the face of the old city lord. To be honest, he was able to ask for this number of reinforcements, which was already more than his subordinates expected. ”
Hawke thought about it and thought it was the same thing. The old fox's methods during this period of time are still quite eye-catching, and he is worthy of being a top minister in the royal city who has been engaged in internal affairs for decades. However, no matter how good the policy is, the lack of implementation is equal to zero. The cities didn't buy it, even the city of Kleckinn. Among the many big cities, even Zhimashi City has always obeyed orders and mobilized soldiers and junchandise to come to reinforce, and the performance of other southern cities is not as good as it combined.
Zhucheng's inaction and even public resistance greatly disappointed Hawke, who was bent on maintaining his family's position and power. He even intends to speak out in favor of Wolf in exchange for the support of other allies. However, his father, the old lord of Mandalay, stopped him and quietly told him that he should not act rashly until Wolf did not tell the truth about what he was hiding and found out who was behind it.
Hawke picked up the report again and looked at it carefully. With the southern gate, the city of Achill surrendered without a fight, and the prince of the royal city entered the south with almost no damage. The ensuing battle also greatly surprised everyone, and those selfish, short-sighted and shameless city lords of the southern cities finally had a trace of soberness and began to send the monarch team to support the city of Kleikin.
But this group of goddamn fools, the Jun team they brought, added up to more than 30,000 and less than 40,000. According to the careful investigation of the loyal servant Greddy, no matter which city came from the reinforcements, they were not elite. What he saw inside were immature faces, with expressions of ignorance and panic, under the whips of bearded non-commissioned officers with fierce faces and a bit of despair, stepping into the city and stationing in a disorderly manner.
There is no artillery, not a single one. Even some of the city lords who picked the door were not even equipped with the minimum steaming, and several people shared a gun. As for the royal costume and the matching steam backpack, there is no such thing, in Hawke's opinion, even if it is the Holy Sect, those who are despised as the Guardians of the Beggar's Monarch team, they are also stronger than these patchwork Aids, at least they still have a unified monarch's outfit, and each person has a weapon.
"Tsk, those idiots!" Hawke sighed, he had been a city lord for a few years, and he had a lot of dealings with other city lords, and he knew that those greedy jackals would not correct their nature so quickly. These guys, I guess they are still riding on the wall and watching at this time, if the city of Kleck can hold on, they will rise up in groups and send the main force to support in the coming year. If he can't hold on, well, he will definitely fall at the feet of the tyrant like the city of Katai.
Thinking of this, Hawke unconsciously clenched the report, and after thinking about it again, he ordered Grady: "Grady, judging from the current situation, the royal prince will not be close to the city of Cleck, this epidemic has brought us a lot of losses, but it has also given us at least two months, or even longer, to recuperate!" Assemble those baby soldiers now! Well, get all the missing weapons, I don't want these guys to be all over the battlefield in the future! ”
Greddie didn't respond immediately, but stood and counted for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "My master, in terms of weapons, it's okay to say steaming, my subordinates have estimated before, the approximate gap is around four thousand to six thousand, and it is easy to fill it." But the steam backpack ... Nearly 30,000 backpacks. That's a lot of money. ”
"No... Well, just prepare to steam, forget the backpack, those things, let's leave those things to our own soldiers as backup, this thing is easy to break in the heat of fire, and we may face months of siege! ”
"Uh, master... Greddy paused for a moment, and then wondered: "The steam must be filled with steam before it can be used, how can they fight without a backpack... Don't... ”
