"Count Snecker has betrayed the Truth Society!" General Hank said through gritted teeth as he slammed his fist on the table after hearing El's story. The faces of the other bigwigs present were also ugly, although the natural geographical environment of the brown soil hills kept the plague out, it was difficult to say that this place would not suffer from the pond fish.

The reason why Antonio, the lord of Isttalon, did not pay enough attention to the problem of the plague at the beginning, on the one hand, was because of his confidence in the strength of the army under his command, and on the other hand, he was also in charge of the Maple Leaf Sisters of the Life Sect. With the identity and strength of St. Sister Mary Vienne, if there is no accident, there is no fear of the plague at all.

But the inhabitants of the brownland hills do not have such a favorable treatment.

The greatest threat of the plague stems from its rapid spread and its incubation period with no warning. It is foreseeable that in the future, there will definitely be displaced people from other places, and they do not have such medical conditions as the Istalons, and they may basically be infected with the pathogen. If the robbers come into contact with these displaced people, even if they kill them all, they will inevitably be infected.

Among them, Thomas, the gold pointer, has the most ugly face, and the others can at least find a way to escape, but his caravan travels north and south, and the chance of encountering the plague infection can be said to increase exponentially. If the plague broke out throughout the kingdom of Oakland, his forces would not be spared.

"You've taken things too simply, and the word betrayal alone isn't enough to explain Count Snecker's actions. According to my teacher's reasoning, the perception of a certain part of the Truth Society has changed. 【Start】" Lolana sat beside El, stared at General Hank with burning eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "Sacrificing a small number of people, you can save the entire human society or something...... If this is the case, the price is acceptable to the Truth Society. Just like you night watchmen. ”

"It's different!" General Hank roared in a suppressed voice, "We are soldiers who voluntarily sacrificed their lives......"

"In essence, there is nothing different, just the difference between voluntary and involuntary, and I believe that this small issue does not matter to the big people of the Truth Society. Lolana pulled down her hood to cover her eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "General Hank, I believe that you are a respectable warrior, but you should also know that the truth will change now. Whatever their ultimate goal, Count Snecker's actions are tantamount to playing with fire, and now that they have been set on fire, I can't wait to appreciate their imminent retribution. ”

"That's enough!" El said suddenly, holding Lorana's hand and motioning for her to stop provoking General Hank's sanity. He glanced around the leaders present and said in a deep voice, "Compared to those big people who worry about the fate of mankind, we are all insignificant small characters. General Hank, Mr. Roger, Mr. Thomas, and Mrs. Annise, I think now that we have a certain understanding of each other, shouldn't we get to know each other first?"

"That's right, the Society of Truth and the Plague are too far away, and the most important thing now is to find the treasure of the King of Thieves. Roger coughed and gave General Hank, who was sitting next to him, a gesture to calm down. No matter how maddened the truth may be, after all, it is far away. As long as you are sure that there is no irresolvable grudge between the two sides, then it is better to go all out to solve the problem at hand.

General Hank looked at Lolana and his eyes were in a trance for a while, but finally he sighed and nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later." Now I'm going to give you a little bit of a rundown of the ruins of the city-state. ”

He waved his lieutenant to clear the food from the table, and brought over a thick roll of parchment drawings that El noticed was a bit too large, and there were more than one.

"These are maps of the ruins of the city-state, which can be roughly divided into three layers from top to bottom. General Hank laid all the maps on the table and spread them out, taking up an entire table with more than enough. As can be seen from the map lines drawn on parchment, this is a city several times larger than Isttalen.

"This isn't a map from a thousand years ago, is it?" Elle reached out and touched the edge of the parchment, feeling the marks of time on the touch of his fingertips.

"The Night's Watch revises this map every fifty years, but this edition was revised three hundred years ago, and we haven't had enough people to do this dangerous work since. General Hank seemed to think of some unpleasant past, and the expression on his face was not very good.

The ancient city-state sank into the ground during the war, and of course it was impossible to maintain its original intact structure. As you can see from the map, the ruins of the first layer are shaped like a broken ring, and judging from the scale drawn on the map, the diameter can reach at least nearly five kilometers, which may be the outer city of the ancient city-state.

The ruins of the second layer fill the part of the center of the ring, which is also more than a dozen square kilometers, and the ruins of the third layer are also the missing part of the second layer, which is smaller, but the markings on the map are also more sloppy, crookedly and look like random graffiti.

"The power of the demons has been entrenched in the ruins, and it has never been able to be removed, but it has given birth to all kinds of evil monsters. The first level of ruins is an area that we can control, and the monsters here can be dealt with by ordinary warriors, and it is also commonly known as the Trials. The second inner city is the land that has really been eroded by demonic powers, and in essence, it is close to hell. As for the third level being the most dangerous place, it is difficult for even the most experienced Night's Watch warriors to guarantee a full escape. ”

"Where are our targets?" El asked, looking away from the map and at Roger.

"Based on the experience of the forerunners in the past, it should be in this area. Roger held out his finger and drew a small circle on the edge of the second layer of ruins, near the third level of ruins.

"If there is a map, it means that the Night's Watch has been there, and if there is any treasure, it will be discovered long ago. El glanced at Roger's finger and asked, puzzled.

"Do you think it's as simple as digging a hole and burying your treasure?" Roger resisted the urge to roll his eyes, poked his finger on the map, and shouted angrily: "The first thing we have to do is to get to this place, and there is still a long way to go!" (go read om) (jiangsu net)
