Chapter 45: Fate and Disaster

Henri Dieudonnay de Valoa is not dead!, and the earth-shattering news soon spread to the city of Pali with the defeat of the Earl of Lipton.

Perhaps most of the people who don't know it are not surprised, but Christina, who is in charge, has personally shot the bullet that pierced King Henry's chest!

She watched him fall!

When she heard the news, she had already developed an inexplicable low-grade fever, but she didn't care at all - she just took it as the after-effects of falling into the water that day - to be precise, she didn't have time to care about this little problem in herself!

Because, an inexplicable fear grabbed her heart. This fear comes from the knowledge in her mind, the knowledge that only she knows in the world. The current battle situation magically fits the books in her mind.

"This ...... How can such a battle be exactly the same as recorded in the history books? The Galledonian pursuers were annihilated, and the Earl of Lipton was killed...... Even if Henry hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for a while, so how could he command the Capetian army to fight back?"

"But if he really died, the Capetian army would definitely disperse in a hurry, how could he have fought such a beautiful ambush? No, no...... Maybe someone is pretending to be him to stabilize the morale of the army. Christina gasped and sat down in her chair, and although she tried to calm herself and think about the current situation, her brain was in a mess, and her breathing began to rattle in the agitation.

"If someone is really pretending to be him, then it means that I have really changed history...... No, there is no reference in the history books, after all, no one knows whether the Henry in the history books is the original Henry, maybe the person who pretended to be him has not been wearing a goof......"

"It doesn't matter whether Henry is dead or not, this cannot be used as a criterion for judging the situation at all, what matters is the outcome of the war. Christina closed her eyes in pain, "Lipton is dead, and the Galledonian pursuers are broken." As recorded in the book, the people of the House of Valoa have once again gained a foothold in the south. ”

"This ...... This goes back to the situation recorded in the book, and the qiē has not been changed at all! Damn, Lord, are you playing with me?" Christina's pink fist slammed into her delicate cheek until it was dripping with blood, and she didn't stop, "Why, why! Who can sue me, what is this qiē for! The impossible to live is still alive, and the impossible army to win has won!"

Taking a deep breath, Christina made up her mind, she stood up and walked towards the door: "No, I can't give up, there is still a chance, as long as I personally go to the south and assassinate him again!

"Yes, there's still a chance...... she muttered as she pushed the door open, but there was a sudden weakness under her feet, and she fell to the ground.

"Oh, did that Edward, who had been stabbed a thousand times, drug me again, no, no, that kind of anesthetic wouldn't be so uncomfortable, what's going on...... " Her consciousness faded away.

Not only her, but the entire city of Pali was plunged into a terrible natural disaster - the plague.

As the saying goes, a great plague will be followed by a great plague, a flood will be followed by a military disaster, let alone the two combined.

When the continuous rainstorm came, the city of Pali was flooded with water, and the lowest pigsty, stables and other livestock sheds were submerged in the water, and countless livestock were drowned, and their carcasses floated in the water at will, but no one took care of them - everyone was doing their job around the city. This is unhygienic enough, but there are still many people who drink this sewage for convenience. If only that's all, but if you add the human corpses from all over the world, things get even worse - these people come from everywhere, Genova, Caledonia, Capet, they are the best vectors for the spread of pathogens, and the extremely poor sanitary conditions have become the best breeding ground for these foreign pathogens, rats and maggots that have eaten countless human corpses have come to join in the fun, and fleas have also served as porters for them, so that the plague will inevitably break out.

In the past two days, Edward has realized that something is wrong, because his sister, Evena, has also collapsed in the hospital bed, and has to rely on the miraculous healing skills of Father Cecilio to save her life, while countless people outside have died suddenly. But he still had to prioritize the battle ahead, although most of the Earl Lipton's troops had finally escaped, but they were no longer able to continue the battle for a short time, and the rest of the troops, Edward did not dare to continue to send them to the south, at this moment, on the side of his couch, there were Boulogne's people sleeping soundly, and he did not want himself to become the Duke of Boulogne's dinner with the city of Pali. But he was not reconciled, and he thought about a plan that could increase his troops to the south.

But such a brief dullness is deadly enough.

At first, it was mostly the local people of Pali who had problems, so Edward was able to work like this, but after a few short days, the situation spread to the Galledonians and Boulognes.

After seeing this, anyone knows that the plague has broken out.

When Edward realized that something was wrong, his first reaction was to seek out the local doctors' and pharmacists' associations. Unfortunately, these two groups had the most contact with the sick, and by the time Edward personally invited them to discuss a countermeasure, they were all wiped out.

Yes, the whole army was wiped out, and not one was left dead - this shows the horror of the plague. And Father Cecilio, blessed by the Lord, can only guarantee the well-being of a very small number of people.

"Christine might have a way. Edward frowned, and when he walked to the door of Christina's bedroom, he saw her who had been unconscious for a long time.

With the exception of the Edward siblings, few people wanted to come into contact with a dangerous person like a witch who betrayed the teachings of the gods, and Christina didn't even have a servant.

When Edward found Christina unconscious, she was already dying.

Edward looked at Christina for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked her up with both hands, and then took a step towards Father Cecilio's residence.

ps: I got together with a few friends tonight, had a barbecue, and my mind was a little unclear when I came back, so there is only one chapter today, and three more tomorrow
