Ying Zihan sent people to the Silver Moon Forest to find the Silver Moon Elf Clan the next day, and then after fierce negotiations between the two sides, Ying Zihan paid 3,000 hard bows to ask for the help of fifty elf mages. Ying Zihan took out a lot of seeds from the system and specially sent people to plant these, and then the elves sprouted, and Ying Zihan also specially asked Guan Yi, the great god, to come to artificial rain every few days. Others didn't know what happened to Ying Zihan, after Ying Zihan decided to send troops to attack Viscount Hall, he just asked his subordinates to hurry up and train soldiers, but he ran to plant some strange things, the details of which even Yang Xixi didn't know. They also asked questions many times, but Ying Zihan just didn't say it, and they couldn't help it. A month has passed, and the flowers and plants planted by Ying Zihan have been harvested under the conditions of growth, and Ying Zihan has also made many palm-sized white cloths. Ying Zihan also told everyone to get ready, and sending troops is the most recent thing.

Thorn Ridge is the fief of Viscount Hall, and although the name sounds like a mountain, it is actually no different from a small hill. This place is close to the Duchy of Heilin, so in order to prevent the other party from coming to fight the autumn wind, Viscount Hall simply took refuge in the church. Although the land here is not as good as the plains of the central empire, the fertility of the soil is enough to ensure the livelihood of the peasants.

Uncle Green has lived here for generations, and their water is supported by a large well at the head of the village, and this morning he went to fetch water as usual, and then went to work in the fields, but at night he began to have abdominal pain, but he didn't care, just thought of what he had eaten during the day, and tomorrow would be fine, and he continued to sleep with this thought. As for going to the doctor, how can ordinary farmers have any money to spend on such a minor illness.

But the next day he felt that something was wrong, he started vomiting, headaches, he wondered if he was poisoned, so his family rushed to the pharmacy to see a doctor. However, after he went home, he took medicine but it had no effect, his condition actually began to worsen, paroxysmal abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms began to appear in him, and then he began to have loose stools, and then pus and blood stools, and finally died tragically at home, and a person's life was lost in just ten days.

His family also began to fall ill, and many people in the village began to have abdominal pain. Other nearby villages are no better, with many people having the same symptoms, and people who have gone to see a doctor have trampled the floor of a pharmacy.

At first, the black-hearted owner of the pharmacy was very happy, but it wasn't until a day later that he also got the disease, and he couldn't take any medicine. The owner of the pharmacy hurriedly asked the man to carry him to the church, and then the priest used magic to cure him. However, the priest was also very tired, so the black-hearted merchant paid the price of twenty gold coins, and all the money he had earned in the past few days was gone.

But this was only the beginning, and then the disease spread, and although no one died, everyone who got it was worse than dead. Of course, rich people can be treated by priests, but after all, this is a minority, and most people can only suffer in silence.

I don't know when a news began to circulate, this is a plague outbreak, and suddenly the people of Thorn Ridge want to escape from here. But he was intercepted by the soldiers sent by Viscount Hall, if everyone ran out, what was the use of him asking for territory?

"Rubbish, nothing has been found, what's the use of asking you?" Hale yelled at a group of men.

One of them replied, "Lord Viscount, the man who fell ill first is dead, and his body has been burned after hearing that it was the plague. ”

"Jarvis, I don't want to hear that, you tell me if I can cure this disease now, can you?" Hale growled

"I'm sorry," said the man named Jarvis, who looked short and steady, but now his face was full of apologies, and he replied in a deep voice, "we have two towns and eleven villages now with an outbreak of this disease. But the drugs in pharmacies can only relieve the patient's symptoms at best, but there is no solution. Only the priests of the church have the ability to solve this disease once and for all. ”

"And what about you? Why don't you go to the priest for help?" Hale yelled at the other man.

"I'm sorry Lord Viscount, the priest's ability is limited, he can only treat a maximum of five people a day, and the priests of all the churches in our territory add up to less than ten, but there are many people who are infected every day, and now the total number is more than two thousand..."

"Then what are you still doing in a daze? Jarvis, you hurry to the church and ask for their help, and the others hurry up and ask the church priest in Viscount Reed's domain for help, you must hurry, otherwise everyone will die. Hale immediately gave orders to the crowd.

"The Viscount..."

A person was about to speak when he was interrupted by Hall: "Why don't you leave?"

Klee replied, "Lord Viscount, some of our soldiers have already started to get sick, what should we do?"

Hall said angrily: "Isolate them all, and then isolate those villages and towns for me, and don't let anyone come out." Once a patient is found outside, it will be dealt with in the same way, and if anyone dares to make trouble, all of them will be killed on the spot. ”

"Yes," Kerry said, quickly leaving the place and began to deploy his army.

"Let us out, we're going to get out of here. ”

"We're not sick, let's leave, I don't want to die." ”

"Please, let's go. "This is happening at the entrance of every sick village, and some people want to leave, but the outside is guarded by soldiers, and they are not allowed to come close, otherwise they will have to fire arrows. Among these begging for mercy, some old and young, the cries were shocking, but the officers guarding did not have the slightest relent, as long as anyone dared to rush up, they were beaten back with sticks, or directly killed and then burned the corpses.

In other villages that were not sick, people were already trying to escape from Thorn Ridge, but the important passes were already guarded by soldiers, and they had to return to their villages.

Although Hale tried his best to block this matter, the neighboring Viscount Merlin and Viscount Reed, under the guidance of the "people with hearts", still heard some rumors that a plague broke out in Viscount Hall's territory. The population of the Viscount of Merlin is predominantly Westerners, but there are also many Easterners, so there is no church here, which is why Hall did not send people here to ask for help.

Merlin feared that the plague would spread to his territory, so he sent four hundred soldiers to strictly guard the road to Viscount Hall's domain. However, Viscount Reed thought a lot in his heart, he was worried that the plague would spread to his territory, and he wanted this old rival to suffer heavy losses in this plague. But he did the same thing as Viscount Merlin after intense thought, but he didn't stop the priest of his realm from going to Thorn Ridge either. In this way, no one can gossip, and even if he is blamed above, he has a reason to excuse himself.
