Act 134 The Marquis of Carden
Because the gate of the Black Thorn Castle has been completely flooded by the corpses of the undead, Bai Steel and they can only climb up through the rope dropped by the city, although Bai Steel does not care about this, but the Marquis of Kadean is still very reluctant to go, and takes the initiative to bow to Bai Gang, the earl, as a marquis, which is very rare on the Anglia continent.
"I apologize again, Earl White, it's rude to greet an earl here with such an embarrassed look, and to ask you to climb up......"
Bai Gang waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, there is nothing, don't you see that I am not wearing any formal clothes now, just a combat uniform." ”
Marquis Kadean was stunned for a moment, he thought that Huaguo's formal dress was like this, and just now he complained about the strange aesthetics of the Chinese people in his heart, but he didn't expect this to be a combat costume, not to mention, if you look closely, the strange checkered pattern on this dress is easy to integrate with the surrounding environment, and it is a very good assassin costume.
However, the Marquis of Kadean is also a little strange, because if this kind of clothing is equipped with the main army, it is definitely a complete death-seeking act!
In the period of cold weapons, the greatest use of military uniforms and military flags is to identify their own people for soldiers and commanders, so that they can see where their troops are at a glance on the chaotic battlefield, so they must be very conspicuous. If the military uniform is too hidden, the battlefield command is a joke, and it has also become a joke if you want to win, based on this reason, the army of the cold weapon and black powder generation will either dress up with fancy branches or fly flags, and will never wear any clothes that are easy to hide.
However, there is no reason why the Count of Monte Cristo, who has a powerful alchemical dragon legion, does not know such a simple truth, but why use such a highly concealed costume?
Despite all the strange things in his heart, the Marquis of Cadean still knew exactly what to do now, so he quickly put this doubt behind him.
"Count Bai, please come with me, refreshments have been prepared in the castle, you can rest first."
Bai Gang shook his head: "No need, let's talk about it here, after all, the battle is not over yet, and premature optimism is not the quality that a commander should have." ”
"That's true. We're sorry, but our gates have been blocked, and we can't send troops out of the city to meet them right now. ”
"It's okay, presumably the Marquis's troops are also very tired, so I'll leave the rest to my people."
Next, Bai Gang didn't rush to discuss any substantive issues with Marquis Kadean, but just kept chatting with him about Du Ze's customs while watching the battle.
Although the Marquis of Cadian was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of harsh demands Bai Gang would make, he still had to pretend to be happy on the surface to know everything.
From time to time, a few crazy undead would climb up to their deaths on the city wall, which of course would not have any effect on the white steel.
The battle beneath the castle was going well, and the remnants of the undead were completely scattered and posed no threat at all.
After feeling that the undead army could no longer stir up any storms, Bai Gang finally brought the conversation to the point.
"Lord Marquis of Cardian, I wonder what the casualties in the Black Thorn Castle are? Also, is there enough food? ”
Marquis Kadean's heart tightened, and for a moment he thought that this was Bai Gang probing his own fiction and reality, but after thinking about it, he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, is it still necessary to probe the truth in the current situation of the Black Thorn Castle? The group of alchemy dragon legions just now could blow down the castle with just one breath, and there was no need to spend that effort at all. So the Marquis of Cardian simply told the truth.
"Some time ago, the undead didn't attack with all their might, so there weren't many soldiers killed, but almost everyone was injured in the fierce fighting for days."
The Marquis of Cardion's words were not finished, but the sad expression on his face had already made up for what he did not want to say. Aside from magic and vindictiveness, Anglia is very similar to medieval Europe in many ways, and it is not much different in the field of medicine - except for a few things that are godly and godlike.
The difference is that the chatter of the gods on the Anglian continent is effective, while Europe on Earth is invalid.
It's just that the magic on the Anglia Road is not omnipotent, and diseases such as wound infections are very difficult to deal with. Although wounds can be healed through divine magic, the pathogenic bacteria that have invaded the body cannot be killed, and can only be resisted by the patient's immunity.
This is not a big deal for powerful professionals, and they can be cured of a fever in two days at most - their physical fitness is so good that an ordinary infection will not kill them at all.
But for ordinary people, even low-level professionals with inferior strength, wound infection is enough to be fatal!
There are really not many of these wounded in the Black Thorn Castle who can survive the terrible wound infection, which is why the Marquis of Cardian is so sad. Although the rescue was successfully survived, this battle almost lost seventy percent of the combat strength, which makes the future days how to live!?
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Cadean seemed to arouse the bitterness in his heart, let out a long sigh, and began to pour bitter water on the white steel.
"That damn necromancer has spread the plague of the undead here, although it is only the lowest [heat plague] and not the deadly [Black Death], but once infected with this plague will also make people feel weak, all the priests here have died in battle, and the only place left with enough priests is the capital Yunfeng City, but it is also under siege by the undead now, God knows when a priest will come to relieve the plague for my people.
And the food, the undead have destroyed all the fields, and I don't even know how to get my people through this winter, let alone grow food next year! ”
The more Kadean talked, the more sad he became, and he almost told Bai Gang that I am poor and dilapidated here, and I can't live here, and I don't have any oil and water, so you can open the idea of not fighting here.
Who knew that Bai Gang smiled slightly, and said, "I really didn't expect that Lord Marquis would be so difficult here. In order to help you and your people tide over the difficult time, I am willing to provide food and medicine, and we in China are still very experienced in treating sword wounds. ”
Kadean looked at Bai Gang in surprise, he really didn't understand what this Earl wanted to do now, it was definitely impossible for him to help fight and send things so much without asking for anything in return, that kind of pure noble lord had already died!
Does he really want to make himself subservient!?
