Chapter 70: The Black Blood Plague

Xu Feng asked again, "How are your living materials?" How long is it enough? ”

Lucius sighed, "We originally had strategic supplies, which should be enough for our team of fifty people to eat and drink for a year, and if we distribute these supplies to the townspeople, I believe it can last for about a week." ”

Gandalf asked, "Then why don't you give it?" ”

Lucius smiled bitterly: "Because, we haven't really gotten strategic materials at all, remember the abandoned warehouse I just told you?" That warehouse was supposed to be full, but for years, it was empty. ”

"Why is this happening?" Gandalf asked.

Lucius said helplessly: "This is probably about to ask our superior quartermaster, I used to ask him for supplies, but he always prevaricated with various excuses. Of course, this is not what I am most worried about, what I am most worried about is what if Prince Arsson collects relief supplies this time, and if they are handed over to the quartermaster again? ”

Gandalf asked, "What's the name of the quartermaster?" Where do you live now? ”

Lucius said, "His name is Gould, and he lives in the military fortress of Nernhahn. The military fortress of Nernhahn is about a day's journey from here, even if it is a fast horse, it will take half a day, and the relief supplies of Nenhahn to the north of us, the capital of Arnor, can only be delivered to us through Nenhahn. ”

Gandalf pondered for a moment, "After all, Prince Arson's first rescue should be able to pass through Nenhaun." ”

Lucius said worriedly, "That being said, however, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

Xu Feng asked, "Are you worried that the quartermaster named Gald will secretly stumble you?" ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, these are extraordinary times." Lucius said comfortingly.

Gandalf looked at Xu Feng, "Diedy, what do you think we should do now?" ”

They have a general understanding of the situation here, and as for what to do next, it is the most difficult to decide.

Xu Feng thought for a moment, "First of all, we don't know the situation in the town yet, so we have to go to the town first, and after understanding it, we can make a decision." ”

Captain Lucius hurriedly said, "This must not be! Both of them are people of status and status, and if they go to the town, if they are infected with the plague, then ......"

Although he didn't say any more, the implication was obvious, even if the archmage of the Holy White Council was infected with the plague, he couldn't magnify the mage and leave.

Of course, with his strength, if he wants to keep Gandalf and Xu Feng, it is definitely a fool's dream.

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Captain Lucius, we have taken precautions, if we are infected with the plague, we will self-isolate without you saying it." ”

Captain Lucius still shook his head, "No, no, this is absolutely not good. ”

Gandalf said, "We don't need to obey you, and I'm afraid that even if your prince Arsson is here, he won't be able to stop us." ”

Lucius thought for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, "Alright, Mr. Gandalf, you're right, if you insist on entering the town, then please be sure to stay at least ten meters away from those townspeople, be careful that their breath will infect you with plague germs." ”

Gandalf said lightly, "Okay, I see, let your people open the door to the town." ”

Lucius paused slightly, and finally said in a deep voice to the soldiers behind him, "Didn't you hear Mr. Gandalf's words? Open the gates to the town! ”

Several soldiers hurriedly opened the gate of the arrow tower inside, and Xu Feng and Gandalf walked out.

No sooner had they stepped out than the door slammed shut behind them.

Xu Feng shook his head and smiled, "This is really ready-made, but it's understandable that this is an extraordinary time." ”

Gandalf sighed, "I remember, Bray was a bustling human town, but I didn't expect it to be so depressed now. ”

The two walked out of the long arrow tower corridor, only to see rows of spiked wooden rows outside the arrow tower, and some of the spiked wooden rows could still see dried blood.

These things, naturally, are used to stop the townspeople from attacking.

From this, you can also imagine how critical the situation in the town is now.

After walking through these spiked wooden rafts, it is not so easy to return to the arrow tower.

Xu Feng pointed to a dilapidated warehouse not far away and said, "It should be the soldier's material warehouse, Lucius said that there is a sick soldier there, let's go there first." ”

"Okay." Gandalf nodded.

Although it is said that in terms of Gandalf's age, qualifications, and identity, it should be Gandalf who controls the situation, but in fact, the whole situation is involuntarily controlled by Xu Feng.

After the two walked outside the warehouse, Xu Feng put on the gloves that had been prepared a long time ago and pushed the broken wooden door of the warehouse.

However, the wooden door, although tattered, was not pushed open.

Apparently, someone had put a heavy object inside it.

Xu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

After a long while, a weak voice came from inside, "I'm infected, you guys hurry up and get out of this place." ”

Xu Feng then asked, "You are a soldier in the town, right?" What is your name? How are you doing now? ”

The man hesitated for a moment before whispering: "My name is Leiden, I am a soldier in this town, I was infected with this terrible black blood plague in the process of preventing the townspeople from storming the arrow tower, this is my first day of infection, I have already started coughing up red blood, in another day, I will start coughing up black blood, after coughing up black blood, I will die, you must not come near me." ”

Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "Leiden, you are a man. ”

Layton said bitterly, "Sir, if you can, please tell my mother who is far away in Riverdale and tell her...... I love her, and I did it to keep this damn plague from spreading to my hometown. ”

Xu Feng said movingly: "Leiden, you are a good son. Now, I'm going to ask you, do you know anything about what's going on in town? ”

"When I was in my day, I knew the people in the town, and I knew the town. ”

Xu Feng said: "Your captain Lucius said that more than 700 people have died in the town, is this true? ”

"Not exactly, I mean, the captain is a good captain, and his method of forcibly locking down the city is also correct, but he is sometimes too careless, he can't go deep into the town to check the casualties, just rely on the number of townspeople who stormed the arrow tower yesterday, roughly judged." There were thousands of people who stormed the arrow tower yesterday, and if the old, weak, sick and disabled were removed, the captain would have thought that at least seven or eight hundred people had died. In fact...... Most of the residents of Bray Town are kind-hearted, and they are willing to stay at home and wait for the help of the royal family of Arno, knowing that the plague they are infected with will spread to others...... Ahem, it's just that they're too hungry, this year's crops haven't started to be harvested yet, the grain of previous years has been eaten, and now is the time when there is no green and yellow, they don't have anything to eat, if it goes on like this, these people won't be infected by the black blood plague, and they will have to starve to death! Therefore, the top priority is to send clean food and clean drinking water to the people in the town as soon as possible, so that they can stay at home with peace of mind, so as to suppress the black blood plague! ”
