Chapter 239: The Plague Breaks Out
Early the next morning, the lionmen began to assemble for battle.
But strangely, until noon, the Terran army did not appear.
Watsondecker sent a cavalry scout out out of the city, but found nothing.
However, Watsondecker did not slack off in the slightest, and thought that the Terrans were playing some tricks.
As a result, until the evening, the Terran army still did not appear.
But in this way, Watsondeck's heart is even more uneasy, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.
That night, Watsendecker arranged heavy troops to be on duty at night to prevent the Terrans from carrying out night attacks.
As a result, there was still no incident overnight.
By noon the next day, Watsondecker could no longer sit still, and led the army out of the city and went straight to Nanshuiguan.
Outside the Nanshui Pass, a large number of horses have long been set up, and the lion tribe army has just approached the Nanshui Pass within a range of more than 1,000 meters, and the dense arrows directly cover the lion tribe army.
The lion tribe also tasted for the first time, the power of the Vermilion Bird archer, and some of the big knights in armor in the army were killed on the spot by arrows if they were careless.
The knight who took the lead suffered heavy casualties, so frightened that Watsondike hurriedly ordered to retreat.
Watsendeck's trip was not to attack the city, he just wanted to see what kind of reputation the Terrans were doing, and under the South Water Pass, the Lion Clan army was far away for an afternoon, and Watsendeck didn't find any problems.
Back in Tiannan City, Watsendecker immediately convened a military council.
"Lord Governor, the Terrans are afraid that they will see the strong people of our clan coming to help, and they are afraid and dare not fight again!" Andrei said emotionally.
The strength of the human race, during this time, can be regarded as a deep understanding of the lion people, but such a powerful enemy was also defeated by the lion people.
Once again, the strength of the lion people is demonstrated.
"The truce of the human race is more beneficial to our clan, and the most important thing for our clan at the moment is to take half of Nanluo Province and take the opportunity to expand to Hailan Province." Benshamin tapped his fingers on the table and spoke.
Among the high-ranking members of the Lion Clan present, Watsondeck had the highest status, followed by Ben Hammin.
The elders of the lion clan are not in power, they are equivalent to worship, and they will be transferred wherever there is a need.
Excluding the patriarchs, the governors of the northern and southern armies had the highest status and held heavy troops, followed by the commanders of the royal courts.
"It's not going to be that simple, what's unusual in the army lately?" Watsondike asked, frowning.
"It's too big an anomaly, and in the past two days, there are quite a few soldiers who seem to be infected with wind and cold." Benneff took Watsondecker's words and said.
It's not a big deal for a soldier to get sick.
But the Guards Legion under Bannaef's command, all epic troops, is no longer a minor disease that can be infected.
"Oh? How many are there? Watsondike hurriedly asked.
Now Watsondike is blind, and the slightest abnormality will attract his attention, and as the commander of the army, his eyes are dark, which is by no means a good experience.
"There are not many of them, there are only dozens at present, and they all live in the same military camp, so I guess they are infected." Bannaef said with some uncertainty.
"Akava, Andrei, does this happen to the soldiers of your two armies?" Watsendike turned to Akava and Andre, who were in charge of the left and right armies.
"Well, I haven't received any reports on this at the moment." Akava said with some embarrassment.
Andrei was equally silent.
Both the left and right armies were ordinary lion soldiers, and as the commanders of the left and right armies, Akava and Andrei naturally didn't care about the situation of ordinary soldiers.
Watsendike didn't continue to ask, since there was no report, it means that there is no major anomaly.
"Before coming to Tiannan City, the bear people sent a message to our clan, saying that the Terran was using troops against Doro Province, and also asked our clan to drag down the main force of the Terran Race, maybe the strength shown by our clan caused the Terran to retreat in the face of difficulties and transfer troops to Doro Province?"
After a moment of silence, Benshamin spoke of a possibility.
"This damn Terran is really arrogant, starting a war with our clan, and daring to divide troops to attack the bear clan." Wibach said coldly.
"The Terrans are indeed powerful, but they are a great calamity!" Casapo said with emotion.
During this period of war, Casabo did not suffer less from Zhang Jiao, obviously his mana was not as good as him, but his means were extremely powerful.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the Terrans avoiding the war, I would definitely be able to kill that black guy." Verbach said in a disdainful tone.
The high-ranking members of the lion clan all laughed and did not debunk Vibach, Dian Wei's strength is not as good as that of Vibach, but when it comes to killing, it is a bit far.
A military discussion did not come out of anything. In the next two days, the Terrans did not send troops to attack Tiannan City, and the Lion Clans gradually relaxed.
The corpses under Tiannan City were also burned intensively in the past two days, not that the lion clan realized anything, but that it had been stored for too long, and the corpses began to stink.
That is, the act of burning corpses caused more and more people to fall ill in the lion clan, and Banneff, who had been paying attention to the situation, soon found that in just two days, the number of sick soldiers had surged from dozens to hundreds.
You know, this is an epic class!
Soon, Akava and Andrei also received a report from the lieutenant general, and before they knew it, thousands of soldiers in the left and right armies were already sick!
This news immediately attracted Watsendeck's attention, and he personally transferred a healing department transcendent mage from the royal court.
The Eastern Wilderness Orc Race does not have the profession of a doctor, a few races have sacrifices, similar to doctors, they all play with drugs, and most races only have healing mages.
Coincidentally, the lion clan did not sacrifice, and the next day, the healing mage sent by the royal court arrived quickly, but he didn't see the reason.
Healers, although they are also healing professions, do not know how to see patients, and they have limited healing spells.
I have to say that the healing mages are indeed powerful, and ordinary plagues are not difficult for them, and the orc soldiers who are not terminally ill will be cured quickly after receiving healing spells.
However, healing spells consume mana very much, and the lion soldiers have been infected by more than tens of thousands, and a healing mage can't be saved even if he dies of exhaustion.
Watsondeck had the intention of asking the royal court to send more healing mages, but the status of healing mages was higher than that of elemental mages, and letting them treat ordinary lion soldiers would be a loss of identity for them.
Not to mention, desperately trying to save it.
Of course, adding a healer in the entire Lion Kingdom is estimated to be insufficient.
The number of healing mages above the transcendent level is very small, and the healing mages below the transcendent level can only release some single healing spells.
Seeing that the disease could not be resolved, the disease was clearly contagious, and although there had been no deaths, Watsondike could not afford to gamble.
With a ruthless heart, Watsendeck directly expelled all the sick lion soldiers from Tiannan City.
With Watsondeck's idea, he wanted to kill all the sick lion soldiers, but he didn't do it after all.
