Chapter 682. Difficult decisions to make
Late that night, all the soldiers were woken up and ordered to gather in the open space in front of the barracks.
The light and shadow of the open flame jumped on everyone's faces, and everyone sensed that the situation was not good from the expression of the captain of the guard.
At a time when the whole field was shrouded in low air pressure.
Kant belatedly came out of the tent, walked up to the captain of the guard with a tense face, and said a few words.
After saying that, he left everyone behind and walked back to the camp.
The captain of the guard listened to Kant's instructions with a solemn face, and then stood up and watched him leave.
Wait until Kant lifts the curtain of the tent and walks inside.
The captain of the guard turned, examining the faces of each soldier.
"Who among you got into Clyde's tent and then fled?" The captain of the guard gritted his teeth.
In his eyes: resentment, distress, and annoyance at being provoked by subordinates.
At night, the medical soldier in charge of the patrol came to him in a panic and told him that when he found someone sneaking into the camp of the infected soldier.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He couldn't imagine that if the virus spread, more soldiers would be infected. How should I apologize to Kant?
The captain of the guard saw that not a single soldier in the audience made a sound, and made a move with his right hand.
He took a lunch box full of food from the hands of a medical soldier and held it up to everyone. He continued: "Today, the medical officer in charge of the patrol saw a soldier in uniform leaving Clyde's tent in a hurry, and found the lunch box distributed by the army on the desk in the tent. Whoever violated the ban, hurry up and stand up for me. Don't force me to search one by one. ”
The soldiers of the guard listened to what the captain had said, talked to each other, and looked around from time to time. Guessing who would do such a thing.
After a while, a soldier standing at the back of the line stepped out of the queue and stood in front of the captain of the guard.
The medic standing next to the captain of the guard couldn't help but frown when he saw the soldier's face clearly: this soldier was the one who had been following them this afternoon and was messing around.
"Bart." The captain of the guard noticed the soldiers standing in line and called out his name.
"It's me." Bart raised his hand tremblingly.
"How dare you disobey the captain's orders." The captain of the guard rebuked.
"I'm just afraid that no one will take care of him, and the other day there were a lot of medics helping out in Clyde's camp. But as of yesterday no one has been there again. Even, today, the medical team came to take all of Clyde's things and burn them all. Bart crouched down and cried, "I'm afraid that one day Clyde will die, and his body will be burned like this unpredictably." Then he also died too miserably. ”
The captain of the guard was a little moved in his heart, but he still said solemnly: "Then you can't go straight to Clyde's camp without the order, do you know how much damage it will cause if you are infected with the plague and indirectly bring it to others?" The whole of Dehrim could suffer as a result. ”
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Bart buried his head in his lap and whimpered, "I just wanted to bring him one last meal." I didn't expect it to be like this... Seriously..."
"In any case, what has been done is irreparable." The captain of the guard sighed under his breath, "You must now undergo the same quarantine inspection as Clyde. Moreover, since you have violated the discipline in the army, even if you are not infected with the virus, you cannot continue to be a soldier. ”
This is what Kant had told him before. Severe measures must be taken against soldiers who violate military regulations.
After hearing what had been done to him, Bart fell to his knees and wept.
In the end, he was picked up and taken away by the soldiers of the medical team.
The other soldiers were still standing, silent, without making a sound.
They had already learned about the whole thing, and the fact that some of the soldiers had contracted the plague.
The captain of the guard glanced at everyone and said, "I didn't tell you about it when I was worried that it would cause unnecessary panic. But in this case: you should also understand what is happening. Tomorrow we will go all out and try to get back to De Hem as soon as possible. When you return to the main city, there will be a doctor you can trust to check on you, so you don't have to worry too much, you know? ”
"Understood!" The soldiers replied in unison.
"Go back and rest, I'll have to get up early tomorrow." Disband!! ”
On the second day, Kant and his party marched in full force in the desert.
The mood of the soldiers was much lower than before, and everyone was attentive to the loess road under their feet, and did not talk to each other anymore.
It wasn't until it was nearly dark that the soldiers at the forefront finally burst into cheers when they saw the gates of Dehrim's main city: "We have arrived!" ”
Kant also looked up, and the tiredness in the corners of his eyes disappeared when he saw Dehrim's logo.
The soldiers on the city wall noticed the sight of Kant and his party and immediately opened the city gates for passage.
Kant and the others returned to Dehrim a day earlier than expected, so there was no welcoming group behind the gates.
The group rushed towards the place where the barracks were located.
Kant was also examined with the accompanying soldiers.
On the way to wait for the results, he asked the captain of the medical corps on the side, "Where are the infected soldiers now?" ”
"When we went to check this morning, the soldier was no longer in his vital signs." The medic captain replied.
Kant listened to this sentence and was silent for a while. Then he asked, "What about his ashes?" Did you bring it back? ”
"Well, we've put the urn in the hands of the captain of the guard." Said the medic captain.
"I hope that the compensation brought by the imperial court can make up for the heartbreak of the soldiers' families." Kant sighed.
After the results of the examination showed that Kant himself was not infected with the virus, Kant boarded the carriage and set off for the palace.
Before leaving, Kant also explained to the captain of the medical corps that he would report the results of the examination to him.
If something unexpected happens, it also needs to be reported in time.
Arriving at the palace, Kant finally felt relieved.
Returning to Dehrim means that there are more military generals and ministers with more cronies around him who can consult with him and help make decisions.
It's still too reluctant to fix all kinds of sudden changes by one person.
Kant meditated in his heart: I hope that the troubles of the past few days will be an episode, and that they will be calmed down after the rectification is applied.
