Chapter 58: The Plague Rages

readx; When the Bald-Tailed Dragon Knight returned to Moyada City, he was uneasy, he already knew that all the commanders of the Little Mercenary Regiment had already led an expedition - except for the captain, and the head of the group had another identity for the Bald-Tailed Dragon Knight at this time - the unlucky owner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

How will the head of the regiment punish himself? Dark Autumn stood stiffly in front of the Moyada City Guard.

The wise bald-tailed dragon finally understood what had happened to the bottom in the past two days, and followed behind the young man with eyebrows, for the young dragon knight's first chopping and then playing, the wind dragon hated the root of his teeth, in the dragon world, if this happens, it is immortal and has to shed his skin, it seems that his first dragon career is going to come to an end, cough ...... It's a pity that I can no longer participate in such a magnificent war, and I no longer have the capital to brag about it with other young dragons.

Now in Moyada City, all the regular mercenary battalions of the small mercenary group have left, and the person on duty in the city guard mansion is the forest jing spirit of Qingyi sè, with a crisp trill, and the two thin swords crossed to block the way of Dark Qiusheng.

The inhabitants of Moyada had never seen this before, and there was a large circle of people around them, pointing and pointing.

"Your Highness said, if you come back, let you come in. Forest Jing Lingpi looked up and down with a smile and a cold tone.

Such a punishment was only applied to officers who had lost the battle, and a significant proportion of these officers ended up losing their lives.

Alas...... Dark Qiusheng sighed, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, it's useless to think about anything now.

"Dark Qiusheng report!" The young dragon knight roared, buried his head and walked in, as a result, the two swords didn't move at all - it turned out that the two Jing Ling uncles thought he was quiet, and the Jing Ling people knew more or less what was going on, and they didn't have a good impression of this kid at all: Don't die?! Even the regent of the Jing Ling Kingdom dared to steal the things of His Royal Highness! Who knows if there are some private items in His Royal Highness's house that are inconvenient for others to see? Without the military order of His Royal Highness the Prince, I secretly went out happy, and now I dare to come back, how can I let you meet all the good things? Besides, when I reported the door, I didn't even have a final word, and the onlookers next to me thought that your kid had made a great contribution and came back to receive the reward.

It was really a person under the roof and had to bow his head, Dark Qiusheng sighed in his heart, and shouted at the two Jing Ling warriors with a smile on his face, and he yelled with all his strength: "Boy, Dark Qiusheng came to confess!"

Hey, it's pretty much the same, Uncle Jing Ling sniffed and waved his hand to put Dark Qiusheng in.

Hades is easy to see, but little ghosts are hard to find. This statement is really not false at all.

When Dark Qiusheng saw Amy's face, he was moved to tears and almost flowed, no matter when, Big Brother Amy smiled slightly, it was really like a spring breeze, how could the gap between this person and people be so big? Not to mention that some people can only stand outside the door and take turns, but Big Brother Amy can sit in the hall. S Lingbao'er stuck out her tongue at Dark Qiusheng, swept the chess pieces on the table aside, and ran out.

Amy stood up as if nothing had happened, and her tone was infinitely sweet: "Yo, are you back? ”

When Dark Qiusheng heard this, his calves trembled, and he almost sat on the ground. Except for three or four seniors such as Zhuo Long and Mo Ye, the head of the regiment has always said the word you, and it's over...... The young man's eyes darkened for a while.

The bald-tailed dragon behind the little guy's ass also had a chill in his heart, about Amy, it can be said that he is already a legend in the entire dragon world, or more accurately notorious - in the legend, this person was 15 years old, and when he first debuted, he easily killed the head of the first evil dragon of the ages, and then pinched the neck of the fifth-order divine dragon like a pinching a chicken with one hand and forced him to sign the "Dragon Babu" Treaty, if you have nothing to do, you like to smoke the ice like a spinning top, and His Royal Highness, the biggest boss in the dragon world, His Majesty Pyrot, was forced by this wicked man to sacrifice his only egg - the young fourth-order bald-tailed wind dragon has never understood what kind of egg this egg is, in short, the idea of the underage boy dragon is a bit sè and dirty.

Of course, Amy didn't know that she had such a notoriety now, and she clicked her lips, as if she was surprised with regret: "Alas, look at it, I really don't know that there are still talents like you hidden in the more than 20,000 people in the small mercenary group...... Oh, I would venture to ask: The golden apples weren't grown by your old man, did they?

Dark Qiusheng's face was as red as the buttocks of some kind of small animal, the head of the group was really swearing without dirty words, he didn't dare to say a word, just lowered his head and said vigorously: "I was wrong, I was wrong...... It's all my fault. ”

"Wrong?" Amy circled around Dark Autumn and Bald Tailed Dragon twice, "How could you be wrong? You are now the number one general of the ages...... Oh, no, it's the first handsome emperor of the ages, where could you be wrong? Look at it, your great and glorious deeds have been widely sung by the world, and now they have spread all over the dragon world, the human world, and the god world, look at ...... again."

Amy said as she took out a pale yellow sè thick leather booklet: "Your deeds have shocked the world, you have been crowned king, and you are already S-class mercenaries......"

Ah? It won't be so fast, right? Feng Wang?S-level mercenary? The little guy said that he was wrong, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, and the corners of his eyes secretly rolled up, and the bald-tailed dragon quickly raised his eyelids when he heard such news, and the thief's bright little round eyes sneaked over from the top of the dark Qiusheng's brain, and the four eyes swept from the thick leather booklet, and the two shiny brain doors instantly oozed out of the sweat.

The thick-skinned booklet really wrote the following words: "In view of the fact that His Excellency Dark Qiusheng has made outstanding achievements in the past five years, has completed impossible tasks and achieved one legend after another, and is really a genius that has not been encountered in the mercenary world for thousands of years, His Excellency Dark Qiusheng is specially canonized as the legendary mercenary king, and the Twin Cities at the eastern foot of the Holy Snow Mountain of the Mercenary Empire, The three cities of Liucui Fort are your fiefdoms, and your mercenary rank is officially promoted to S rank, and the small mercenary group led by Your Excellency Dark Qiusheng is officially promoted to S rank, and all official members of the small mercenary group are promoted to one level. ”

At the end, there are the two mercenary kings who are still alive in the mercenary empire.

Dark Qiusheng's eyes were very sufficient, of course he saw it, the name originally written on this booklet was Amy Harbour, but later, someone typed three big X's with a red pen on the name, and then rewrote the three words of Dark Qiusheng neatly below.

Who will hit X? Who will hit X in what kind of mood? Who will be in what mood now?

Dark Qiusheng didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing, I, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns and Gelsu discussed it, under the light of your meritorious deeds that shook the past and the present, we really don't want to be absent from the corpse position, so we will collectively take the blame and abdicate and give you a virtuous. ”

Depend on...... Under the fame, there is really no void, this Lord Amy is really a ruthless horn, the fourth-order dragon behind Dark Qiusheng wailed in his heart, he couldn't think of it, if one day, a big head like the dragon god Pyrott said something like this to himself, what kind of feeling would he have, probably...... Going out and hanging the southeast branch is the only choice, and you must find a location that others can't see, so as to save yourself from death and shame.

"Commander, I was wrong, how can I be the commander? I'm not that material......

"Oh......" Amy interrupted Dark Qiusheng in a long tone: "I understand, I understand, do you think that the small mercenary group is a small temple, and it really can't let you play to your heart's content, so you are ready to set up your own door, maybe you are still thinking about opening a mansion and establishing a country, right? Who is outside the door? Help me go and get the information of Uncle Dark Qiusheng, the number one cow in the world, and by the way, inform the Mercenary Guild, His Royal Highness Dark Qiusheng will prepare the first mercenary group in the city through the ages, and let them ......"

"Brother Amy, I was wrong!" Dark Autumn burst into tears, grabbed the sleeve of the head of the regiment, and pleaded with a handful of snot and tears.

"Wrong?" Amy looked at the young man suspiciously.

"Yes, yes. Dark Qiusheng nervously couldn't speak, nodded vigorously, and the dragon behind his ass also nodded his head like a drum.

"Your Highness, can you joke with me, can you make a mistake with such a great person? In your dictionary, there is still the wrong word?" Amy looked completely unconfident.

Dark Qiusheng couldn't wait to kneel on the ground - I had always heard about the interests of the head of the regiment before, but now it seems that alas...... Why don't they tell the truth?! Where is the stake, it is obviously extremely vicious! "Brother Commander, I am really wrong, you can beat me, you can punish me! Woo woo......"

Seeing that Dark Qiusheng looked grief-stricken, Amy's tone softened a little: "Really admit your mistake?"

Dark Qiusheng nodded desperately, and crystal tears flew all over the sky.

"Then let go of my sleeve, after all, it's not a handkerchief, and it's not for wiping your nose. Amy pulled back her sleeve hard: "Give you a new task, and it will be considered a mistake." ”

"You say, you say, I will never give up. Dark Qiusheng swore with a full face, and secretly let out a long breath in his heart, and finally passed the test in confusion.

"You are fast, get the magic cannon we got later, and send it to Miss Lin Yusheng, she has always wanted to study it. ”

"Okay, no problem!" Dark Qiusheng patted his chest: "I'll send it right away, send it over and come back." ”

"Come back?" Amy paused: "Don't be so anxious, when will Miss Lin Yushang study and understand, she can imitate the magic cannon, when will you bring me 100 guns." ”

Ahh

After the Demon War, for 20,000 years, the Magicians' Guild did not understand the manufacturing principle of the magic cannon, and now it is divided into two empires, it is estimated that ...... When the mount dragon has a big beard, he can't see 100 magic cannons!

"This ...... Commander, please give me another mission, I don't want to be idle, I want to go to war, I want to follow your side. Dark Qiusheng continued to cry like rain.

"Follow me?" Amy shrugged her shoulders, "Excuse me, I want to live a few more days." Damn, Uncle Chi and I only picked up a few hairs from the ground to sell them for money, and we were said to be very rebellious, you are much greater than us back then, you can steal whatever is important, and then let you follow me, next time you may not steal anything?"

"Then, I can go to Scambrai City or the Plains of Flowers, Horns and Deputy Head Chi Aotian may need people. Dark Qiusheng heard that there were signs of activity in Amy's words, and hurriedly followed.

Amy pondered for a moment and waved her hand: "Forget it, don't go and make trouble for Chi Aotian and Horns, do you think people can like you? Originally, this time I was going to let you and His Royal Highness Daqingshan meet His Majesty Hongshi in the Ice and Snow Fortress, so let's go chase Daqingshan." ”

"Okay, okay. Dark Qiusheng was so happy that he almost didn't laugh, Da Qingshan was much easier to talk than the other leaders.

"Also, Long and Mo Ye and other seniors have come to Eminoor, the base of the Ice and Snow Fortress has not been in charge, I heard that more than 4,000 young mercenaries between the ages of three and nine have been recruited recently, after meeting His Majesty Redstone, you will be the person in charge of the training base. Those little mercenaries have long been eager to send them this true hero as a nanny uncle...... Oh...... No, it's the instructor, I think you're a good fit, and you're still a great dragon knight...... (Amy shook her head seriously when she said this, and her fingers were still shaking in front of Dark Qiusheng's eyes), we have been training our children from a young age to be brave dragon knights with the great idea. ”

Amy circled around the bald-tailed wind dragon two more times, and made a regretful voice in her mouth: "It's a pity, if the tail continues, it will be a two-way slide with head and tail, and now it can only be done in one direction, but there is no way to talk about it." ”

The bald-tailed dragon's eyes turned black for a while, who did he provoke whom? He couldn't imagine what it would be like for more than 4,000 little children in open crotch pants to slap their hands and sing nursery rhymes and climb up and down on their bodies. It's a pity that ordinary dragons can't use human language, and if the Divine Dragon has an adult by his side now, he will definitely ask Lord Lu'er to ask him if he can change to a dragon knight?

"Brother Commander, you ...... Don't play with me...... Just like me, I'm still going to be an instructor?, how old am I?" Instant joy and instant sadness, Dark Qiusheng felt that if the head of the regiment came like this a few more times, his heart would definitely not be able to bear it.

"cāo!" the gentle and elegant Amy suddenly scolded fiercely: "You still know that you don't let me play with you, do you know what you and you have played me into? Do you know that your behavior has disrupted all the steps? Do you know that we should now ask His Majesty Redstone to return to the continent of Eminole and finally annihilate the enemy under his wise guidance? Do you know that your seemingly clever behavior has put our entire little mercenary group on the fire for barbecue? Do you know that you are pretending to be clever, and that kid Yi Hailan can guarantee that this plague will not affect the bronze humans in the slightest? Do you know how many innocent civilians may die in the plague? Also, do you know that your despicable act of letting the plague go will be remembered in my head in the future? Is this what a child of a military family should do?"

Amy said and felt that it was not too enjoyable, and tapped her fingers on Dark Qiusheng's brain: "What does this mean? That is, you! Get out of here now, and clean all the toilets in Moyada City! If you find another fly in any toilet, I will tear the fly and tear it for you to stir-fry and eat, get out!"

Speaking of the last word, Amy kicked Dark Qiusheng's ass hard, and the young man screamed and fell out of the door, let out a long breath in his heart, and ran towards the gate with all his joy, this is really passing. At this moment, another scream came from behind, and when I looked back, I found that the bald-tailed dragon was also kicked out, and Amy's angry voice came from the room: "What about this incomparably wise dragon? Like Lu'er, they are all fools who play for tigers, get out of here, go to the toilet!"

Indeed, after reading Dark Autumn's letter, Amy had always been worried that the plague might cause harm to the indigenous humans of Eminole, so she specifically told the two armies to be sure to recruit enough doctors and priests when they advanced. In fact, Amy's fears eventually came true!

In Scambrai City, the speed of the plague spread extremely fast, on the third day of the death of hundreds of people in Fuchu, the number of soldiers killed by the plague every day has become double digits, and on the eleventh day, the number of people who die of disease every day has become three digits, in addition, there is also news from the Flower Language Plains and the Fanos base camp, in their Fanos race, there is also a large-scale plague, the characteristics of all diseases are almost identical, and the outbreak is concentrated in the native race of Fanos, such as the orcs, who have a certain proportion of Aminole human blood, the incidence of orcs is relatively small。

Moreover, in the future, the dead were not only Phanos soldiers, but even a certain percentage of the indigenous people of Scambrai - after all, it had been too many years since the Great War of Gods and Demons, and the immunity of the bronze humans was constantly diluted, and the young people might be able to carry it, while the old and the already weak were ...... Alas...... In order to avoid the plague epidemic to the greatest extent, according to the advice of the doctors, Reynolds divided the entire city of Scambrai into 16 individual areas, two separate areas as epidemic areas, and the number of sick people has exceeded 200,000. In addition, Reynolds had people dig more than 10 large pits outside the north gate, and carried the sick and dead out every day to be cremated in the pit and buried deep on the spot.

It's not about yourself, it's about yourself.

In the face of the plague, anyone who has the slightest cough or a slight physical discomfort is afraid of death, for fear that he will be infected, and in this tense atmosphere, even those who are not sick will have the illusion that they are being swallowed by the plague, with pain all over their bodies, tightness in their chest, and shortness of breath...... How many bronze humans were scared to death by themselves in the end!

At this time, all the superiors of Scambray were particularly worried that Horns would seize this opportunity to launch a siege war, and if that was the case, even if they could hold it, the rate of plague infection would definitely increase greatly. Moreover, it is also very likely to inspire a popular uprising!

To the surprise of many of Scambrae's soldiers, Horns had set up a very strange formation outside Scambrae.

After the Horns regiment joined forces, it was slightly trimmed into four routes, and set up large camps outside the four gates of the south, east, west, and north, each of which had at least 10,000 regular troops and 20,000 people.

Scambrai was most worried that the Horns Legion would adopt the earth city siege method, but he did not expect that the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had four large battalions, would dig earth outside the eight walls at the same time and start piling up eight earth hills.

None of the officers of Scambray could guess Horns' true purpose, and even if they wanted to disperse the garrison of Scambrai, those three or four would be enough, and it was completely unnecessary to build eight dirt mountains at this time.

In Scambrai's doubts, the dirt mountain became bigger and bigger, and in the end, the diameter of each dirt mountain was 150 meters, and the height was more than 20 meters.

It was at this time that Dahaino stood and walked along the city wall for a long time, and then he gasped for a long time! The old marshal sighed with a chill in his heart: "Golden brain Amy, in this world, is there anyone more vicious than you?"

At the beginning of the summer of the ninth year of the Magic Era, the Northern Expeditionary Corps under the command of Horns dug all the trenches outside the eight walls of Scambrai, and then, dug the Fen River from the north, and introduced the water of the Fen River into the trench outside Scambrai, and a huge moat more than 50 miles long appeared in front of the residents of Scambrai. Horns immediately gave a new order, and more than 100,000 people cut down trees and built a large number of horses on the outside of the trench.

Reynolds and the many staff officers of the Western Emperor's base camp now finally understand what the little mercenary group is going to do, and they also understand the meaning of the several decrees issued by Amy before and after, and even think of the iron-blooded policy of the small mercenary group on the plains on the north bank of the Sanggan River a few years ago, undoubtedly, everything points to the present.

The only purpose of declaring "rebellion" is to oppress all the inhabitants around Scambrai into Didu, and this great plague must have been created by Amy, the golden brain, out of nowhere, and painstakingly sent dragon knights to spread in Didu, and now he has formed a complete blockade of Scambrai with ditches and eight dirt mountains outside the city. There is no need for the small mercenary group to attack the city again, the original inhabitants of Scambrai City are about one million, and the food and material reserves are also based on this number, according to the relevant regulations of the empire, the grain stored in Guangping in each county should be enough for the city to eat for half a year, a large number of refugees have poured in, and the population has almost doubled, that is, at most three months, Scambrai's food will bottom out, and if it drags on for another month or two at most, starvation will starve the Scambrai defenders to death! Moreover, even if Scambrai immediately implements the food rationing system, it will not help. You can eat a little less food every day, but when the rice is cooked, you need firewood, and even if you pick up the house, how many meals can the whole Scambrai girder be cooked together?! What about other supplies? salt, water, and so on...... The ancient art of war is clear: the golden soup is solid, and it is not guarded; Han Bai's bravery, no food and no war.

It's no wonder that Amy boasted of going to the sea and recovering Scambray in three months, this is the scammer who pinched his fingers to give Scambrae a choke.

As soon as the blockade ditch was built, a few soldiers and ordinary people plotted to escape from Scambrai, but unfortunately, they did not get close to the blockade ditch at all, and they were defeated by the archers of the Northern Expeditionary Legion. Immediately, the Northern Expeditionary Corps counted more than a dozen large signs outside the ditch, which were clearly written: "Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion - behead!"

It seems that Amy is really preparing for the two million residents of Scambrae to be buried in this AA-rated city.

Almost at the same time, the news from the Flower Language Plain was almost identical, the three major legions of the Holy Desert Empire, the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force and the regular army of Tongyun Pass converged, with a total strength of more than 120,000, and the soldiers not only brought the people to the strong, but also forcibly requisitioned the people on the spot, marching all the way to persecut, at the very beginning, there were also two small encounters, as soon as the news of the plague came out, the entire army of the Holy See suddenly lost the courage to face the war - there were even rumors" This great plague is the punishment of the gods for the Holy Curia and Fanos", more than a dozen cities on the outskirts were abandoned, and the three-way army seemed to be fulfilling the task of taking over, and the road was unimpeded.

In the end, the main army of the Holy See and the Fanos Expeditionary Force were pressed into a radius of more than 300 miles centered on the new capital of the Holy See, New Ulu City, and a total of more than 200,000 troops and more than 3 million believers of the Holy See were encircled in the encirclement.

These three armies also dug trenches and built earthen walls on the spot, and also implemented an iron-blooded policy of "allowing entry but not exiting" in the blockade area.

Although there is no external pressure from the base camp of Fanos on the southeast side of the continent, the situation is even worse! Scambrai is in the temperate zone, and the plain of flowers is in the subtropical region, and at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the air is still relatively cold in the morning and evening, and the plague does not spread too quickly, and even if the disease dies, it will take several days for the corpses to decompose. The original mercenary empire is in the tropics from south to north, the temperature never drops below 10C all year round, the end of Chun and the beginning of summer catch up with the rainy season, the pouring rain does not go down overnight, the speed of the spread of the plague is amazing, the person died, one by one, seeing the street walking and stepping on the air can no longer stand up, the 20,000 new troops who have just been transferred from Fanos at the end of Chun have died five or six out of ten without even leaving the camp gate after getting off the ship.

At first, people were also organized to collect the corpses, but later, the soldiers who collected the corpses also died, and the local residents began to flee on a large scale, and there was hardly a street where there were no dead people, and the clothes were poured off by the heavy rain, revealing the skin, and the white flowers pierced people's eyes. And there is no shortage of middle-level officers like 100 people and 1,000 people, the weather is hot and cháo, and after a day, the corpses will stink, and in several major cities, the smell of corpses is so big that they choke directly into the nose, and the smoke hurts people's brains.

As the saying goes, blessings are not double, and disasters are not one-way. There was really no truth at all in this statement, just when all the high-ranking people in the Western Emperor Monarch's camp were worried about the plague, another bad news came!

Unspeakable Master:

Alas...... Writing this, I really remembered the běijing in ** a few years ago!
