The North County is a major province in the north of the Dawn Empire, including Viscount Hall, Viscount Reed, Viscount Merlin, and Ying Zihan, whose territories are all part of the North County, and they themselves are under the jurisdiction of Auston, the Governor of the North County. It's just that their four territories have always been remote places, so they just pay some symbolic taxes every year, and Beijun won't care about them anymore, which can be regarded as a high degree of autonomy.

A plague broke out on Thorn Ridge, and Hale sent someone to Auston, the governor of the North County. Alston certainly knew what a terrible thing it was to have a plague. As soon as he received the order, Auston ordered that no one from the four northern territories should be allowed to enter the Northshire. At the same time, General Alfred, his right-hand man, led 1,000 cavalry, 1,500 infantry, and dozens of magicians and doctors to Thorn Ridge.

Alston gave Alfred a death order, and if no cure for the plague was found within a month, all the affected villages should be wiped out, so that the plague could not spread.

It was also a simple and effective way to prevent the plague in ancient times, killing everyone who might be infected before the plague spread, so as to minimize the damage. If there is a woman's kindness, when the plague spreads, it will not be a matter of tens of thousands of deaths, but hundreds of thousands of people, and millions of people at worst.

As a young and promising general of the Dawn Empire, Alfred certainly knew what he should do. The plague was urgent, so when he received the order, he ordered a rapid march to reach Thorn Ridge as soon as possible.

Stormwind is the capital of the North Shire, the governor's palace of Auston is south of Stormwind, and the church of the church is east of the city. Even before Governor Auston received news of the outbreak of the plague, Yalvis had reported it to the Church. But instead of sending a large number of clergy to help, as expected, the church sent Jarvis away.

A man in the main seat of the church, draped in a crisp white robe, was listening to the discussion in the hall. The man's three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as a knife, and the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world, and there was a dissolute smile on his evil and handsome face at this time, he was none other than Alan, the bishop of the North County Church.

A priest named Friar Pi was puzzled and asked, "Your Excellency, why don't we send the clergy to eradicate the plague?"

Alan sat in his seat, trimming his beautiful nails, and when he heard someone ask him a question, he lazily replied, "It's not worth it." ”

"Ah, what's not worth it?" said Father Friar Pi, looking at Alan confused.

"When you'll figure this out, you're not far from the Bishop," Alan chuckled before he said to Friar Pit, "since you're curious about it, go for a trip to Thorn Ridge." Go and bring back all the people we've stationed there, and there won't be any more churches in Thorn Ridge after this incident. ”

"Yes," said Friar Pi, though he didn't understand why, but he just had to do his job. The rest of the clergy had also left with Friar Pi, and now that the bishop had made his decision, they had no choice but to obey his orders.

When everyone left the lobby, what would happen if Alan was left alone frowning. Alan was originally a descendant of the previous pope, and with his skills, it is not a problem to be called a cardinal archbishop now. But this was not his interest, so he himself asked to be sent to North County. He wanted to provoke the Principality of Heilin to attack the four northern lands and the northern county after the war between the Dawn Empire and the Silverplate Kingdom. In his opinion, the struggle for power is trivial, and war is the most interesting.

However, Alston and Allen missed a little, the "plague" that happened this time was man-made, and it was quickly controlled. Therefore, it is estimated that Governor Auston's army has gone in vain, and Alan has thought in vain no matter how much he thinks.

But what they did Ying Zihan didn't know, during this time, Ying Zihan sent people to treat the sick, and at the same time, he also sent more people to publicize in various villages and towns every day, that they were invited by Viscount Hall to help the people here and help them eliminate the plague... Unfortunately, Viscount Hall unfortunately contracted the plague and died, so in order to prevent the spread of the plague, he was burned and reburied.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, anyway, Ying Zihan keeps people publicizing this matter, as the so-called three people become tigers, and a lie told a thousand times is the truth. In Ying Zihan's classic theory, "when one side is in trouble, all sides support" and "don't give up, don't give up." Under the propaganda of slogans, 30,000 people in Thorn Ridge were brainwashed in a week. As for the few people who don't believe it, they can't make any big waves, as long as they do it, they will be charged and killed immediately, and then they don't dare to go against Ying Zihan.

The water sources of the villages and towns where the plague spread used to be manipulated by Ying Zihan. The reason why these villages and towns were chosen is that their water use is relatively concentrated. If Ying Zihan does things in some big rivers and other flowing waters, it is estimated that it will be useless at all.

Therefore, after Ying Zihan took over these villages and towns, fewer and fewer people were infected, and the sick people gradually decreased because of the control, and it is estimated that they will get better in a few days.

Ying Zihan counted that the number of people who died these days was more than 200, most of them were old people and children with poor resistance, and young adults had no chance, and I heard that some people were killed by Viscount Hall's soldiers when they wanted to escape from the village and town. Naturally, these people would not jump out to ask about Viscount Hall after knowing the death of Viscount Hall, and it was too late for them to be happy. As for the other people who tried to escape Thorn Ridge but didn't succeed, the idea is probably similar.

Although it can be said that the people who died in Thorn Ridge this time were all killed by Ying Zihan, Ying Zihan did not regret it at all. Once the success is done, the bones are dry, and this time Ying Zihan got the Thorn Ridge, which can be said to be bloodless, and he also took advantage of the righteousness, so that the outside world has nothing to say. At most, Ying Zihan took care of the family of the deceased, and the sentence said, "Your wife and daughter, I will raise it, and you can go with peace of mind." “

For the soldiers under Viscount Hall, Ying Zihan asked them all to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers. Ying Zihan will not raise these idlers, several priests from the Viscount Hall's domain and the priests from Reed's territory have also been recruited by Ying Zihan, although they were reluctant at first, but after Ying Zihan killed a person strongly, they all confessed. These free laborers Ying Zihan naturally let them save people, but not in the name of their church, but in the name of Ying Zihan.

Ying Zihan blocked the news very well, and Viscount Reed did not send anyone to inquire about the news. So he still doesn't know that Thorn Ridge has changed owners.
