The three city lords of Bow City, Smoke City, and Luo City gathered together in secret. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three men who held the supreme power of the city-state now had nervous expressions on their faces.

"Is there an outbreak of epidemic in your city........." Ding Yun, the city lord of Bow City, turned a little ugly after hearing the news of the alliance, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.

"It was too sudden...... It's so unnatural......" Jace Adams, the lord of Snail City, kept tapping his index finger on the table in annoyance.

"We must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to support the operation of the city if it continues like this. Although Hanneel Barker, the lord of Smoke City, could still maintain his composure, the uneasiness in his heart could be felt by the other two friends.

In the past few days, an uncontrollable epidemic has broken out in these three alliance cities almost at the same time.

The onset of the disease came very suddenly, without any warning, and people who had been healthy the day before woke up to find that they were so weak that they could not even get out of bed.

"I've checked all the places," Hanniel Barker said, looking down at the various documents on the table, "and during these months, no suspicious items have flowed in from outside, and all three of our cities are clean and there should be no possibility of an outbreak. ”

"No, in fact, we are all very aware that something foreign has recently entered our scope. Jace Adams couldn't help but say.

Ding Yun frowned.

"Do you mean that the Magisters who fled to our city were the cause of everything?"

Not long ago, the Tri-Cities Alliance had secretly accepted the Magus who had escaped from the Rock City and Stone City.

The magisters had brought news that had caught their attention.

The fearful Mighty is dead, he is killed.

The Mighty Ones, who had been on the alert for the Tri-Cities Alliance, capsized in the gutter and were killed by another Mighty who had been defeated once.

This is good news for them, the powerful are already their confidants, and it is a good thing to be able to consume the strength of the other party.

But that's not the most important thing.

In the quarries of Iwaki City, veins of magical crystals were discovered.

The Tri-Cities Alliance attached great importance to this news, because every time the magic crystalline vein was discovered, a great change would be formed, and they had to deal with it carefully.

"Judging from the timing, you have a point......" Buck sighed, "Soon after the outsiders arrived, there was an epidemic in the city, which should be suspected, but ......"

"But it wasn't them who got sick first, it was our Magister...... That's what you want to say. Adams took over, and of course he understood the meaning of the alliance that had been working together for a long time.

The first to bear the brunt of this illness is not the inhabitants of the city, but the most important personnel of the city-state, those mages.

"More than forty percent of the Magus have fallen ill, their bodies have lost their strength, they can't even use their magic powers, and we can't cure them...... If we continue like this, we will lose the strength of our defense. Ding Yun said nervously.

"It's not too good in the city," Adams pursed his lips, "but it doesn't affect the operation of the city, but the civilians have already started to get sick, and it's spreading so fast that in a few days, I estimate that half of them will be incapacitated." ”

The three of them fell silent together.

The route of transmission of this disease is unknown, and it is impossible to prevent infection for the time being, so they can only take all the epidemic prevention measures they know to prevent the disease from continuing to spread.

The symptoms of this disease infection are very similar to ordinary colds and flu, but the patients do not have a fever, they just have general weakness and cannot lift their spirits, which is the only characteristic of this disease.

"I received a report this morning that people were already dying...... "Do you know how they died?

"There's no way to breathe? what's going on?"

The two allies looked at Buck uneasily.

"It's just that he doesn't have the strength! Does the patient even have the strength to breathe, and this disease has made the patient's body weak, and he can't even breathe!

“............”

Silence reigned in the room once more.

"What kind of thing is this! What kind of disease can do this!"

Adams' fist slammed into the wooden table, denting the solid table.

“...... We can't go on like this, maybe we need to be ruthless!" Buck glad, slicing his thumb across his neck.

"No, we can't do this casually!" Ding Yun objected loudly, "We don't know the route of infection, nor do we know the cause of the disease, and if we do it casually, it will only cause an irreparable situation!"

"I agree," Adams slapped his palm the wooden table, "even if we kill all the patients, there is no guarantee that the epidemic will not happen again, and don't forget, our city is one!"

Bow City, Smoke City, and Luo City, a few decades ago, were not powerful city-states, and they were in danger of being swallowed up by other forces at any time.

Originally, Bow City was within the territory of the territory, there was an iron ore vein, which had a certain influence on the nearby city-states, but it had been hollowed out hundreds of years ago, and now, except for a set of unique skills for making various weapons, there is nothing unique.

Tobacco City is a city that mainly grows all kinds of crops, especially the tobacco they produce, and is very famous in this area, but the city-state itself has nothing else special, and often needs to curry favor with various forces, and lacks important roots.

Luocheng is a city close to the lake, and the population is also the smallest among the three city-states, and the only thing that can be used is the delicious lake fresh, the small lake snail is their most famous food, and it is also a weak city-state that is often manipulated by various forces.

It wasn't until the three city-states of the previous generation began to form an alliance that their situation improved.

The three city-states linked their respective industries together, strengthened each other, and gained an independent status that allowed them to maintain their autonomy.

If the alliance of the three city-states collapses, they will simply revert back to their former ways and be at the mercy of others once again.

“...... So, do you have a better way?" Buck said sharply, "If you don't break your arm at this time, will you regret it until everyone suffers from the disease and it is irreparable!"

"It can't be like that! That will reduce the power of our city! Maybe we'll find a solution later!"

The three allies are constantly arguing and trying to get each other to accept their opinions.

Just then, there was a quick knock at the door.

Then, without permission, someone opened the door.

The three of them stopped arguing and looked at their henchmen who hurriedly walked in.

"What's going on?"

The three of them didn't blame the comer, as their henchmen and deputies, they would not interrupt their meeting recklessly without being notified of important matters.

Moreover, looking at the anxious expressions of the visitors, they knew that there was something urgent to inform them.

"Three lords!There's a letter from Iwashiro!" The deputy was sweating profusely and put the envelope in his hand in front of the three city lords.

"Hmph, are the people over there barking again? don't tell us about this kind of thing, just get rid of those guys!" Adams exclaimed in dismay.

Iwaki had sent two warning letters, which contained some ridiculous accusations that the three city-states had engaged in various conspiracies to annex their cities, and even more in the tone of the superiors, ordering them to hand over the Magisters who had fled to the cities and hand over all the mana crystals that had been taken.

Of course, the content of the accusation is nonsense, but they did shield the escaped Magister and obtained a batch of mana crystals, but they have no obligation to return them, the Tri-Cities Alliance and Iwajo are not friendly in the first place, and the value of the mana crystals obtained is high enough for them to ignore the other party's requests and continue to protect those Magus.

The Tri-Cities Alliance didn't pay attention to the other party's plans from the beginning, and when they got the news of the Magic Crystallization Vein, they were not blinded by greed, they just wanted to protect themselves well and prepare for the next big event that would happen at any time because of the existence of the vein.

The Tri-Cities Alliance is very sober, and something that can change the world is something that can change the world, and it is not something that can be interfered with by barely maintaining independence.

The deputy shook his head in cringe.

"That's not the case!

The three city lords sensed the deputy's anxious mood and began to read the letters on the table.

Then, their expressions changed color in an instant.

"It's!"

The content of the letter is even more ridiculous than the last one.

Iwaki demanded that the Tri-Cities Alliance give up all force and surrender completely.

That's not the point, though.

"This plague, are they the ones who did it!"

Although it is not explicitly stated in the letter, from the various words, it seems that all of them indicate that the current epidemic in the three cities is the black hand they have done.

The letter also openly stated that they had the means to stop this disease, and that they could give alms to the Tri-Cities Alliance as long as they were willing to surrender.

"Those bastards!"

Unable to control his anger, Adams burst out with the magic in his body, punching a large hole in the table.

"So they did everything! What about the messengers! I'm going to torture them!"

The deputy said tremblingly: "As soon as the messengers handed me the letter, they immediately left ......"

"Bastards! Make sure they look good next time!"

"Calm down! Now that we know why, we have to find a way to solve it now, instead of yelling here!" Buck shouted to an agitated Adams.

"But what should we do?Send troops to attack Iwacheng immediately?" Ding Yun stomped his feet anxiously, "Most of the troops in our hands are sick now, even if we have magic items that can be immune to pain, we don't have 100% strength to defeat the other party!"

Buck pondered for a moment, then offered advice to the two allies.

“...... Let's surrender for now. ”

"Ahhhh

Ding Yun looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what to do.

"It's because of their biochemical attack that we should surrender...... Pretend to surrender. ”

Buck looked at Adams fearlessly.

"They don't hesitate to do shit on 200,000 people, and if they continue like this, I don't know what they will continue to do, and we have to do it temporarily before we completely lose the ability to resist!"

"Fake surrender?" Adams let go of his hand and calmed down slightly.

"This is the virus that the other side has dropped, and they have also shown that they have the antidote," Buck picked up Iwajo's letter, "The first thing we need to do is to get the antidote, heal the people in our hands, and then we can move on to the next step." ”

Buck looked at the two allies earnestly.

"There's no other way, so let's surrender for now. ”
