"Yes."

Captain Lucius didn't dare to disobey the gray-robed mage Gandalf, and immediately told Gandalf and Xu Feng about the plague in Bray Town.

It turned out that the plague had broken out only three days earlier.

This is also the reason why Gandalf was not notified by the Holy White Council.

If he had known that there was a plague here, Gandalf would have chosen to postpone the Lone Mountain Expedition and solve the plague first.

The plague happened without warning, first a child in the town had a lung disease, and after seeing a doctor, the doctor only said that it was an ordinary cough, prescribed some herbs to treat the cough and left.

The next day, the child's symptoms did not disappear at all, but began to cough up blood.

First coughed up red blood, and in the evening, he began to cough black blood, and before he could stay up until dawn on the third day, the child died.

The family members who lost their children were very angry, believing that the doctor must have prescribed herbs to cause them to lose their beloved son, so they gathered a group of neighbors and went to the doctor's house to ask for their guilt.

When they arrived, they found that the doctor had fallen ill and had begun to cough up blood like the dead child.

The doctor desperately closed the door and told everyone that it was a contagious plague he had never seen before.

The neighbors immediately became chaotic and hurriedly fled from the doctor's house.

But the plague spread so efficiently that the child's parents began to cough the next day, as did their neighbors, who were in close contact with them.

Immediately afterward, the whole street was infected with the plague, and the townspeople all hid in their homes, afraid to go out.

Of course, some of the townspeople wanted to escape from the plague of Braytown, but Lucius, the captain who was in charge of guarding the town, immediately blocked all the exits of the town, ordered the townspeople to stay at home, and sent heralds to report to the higher command.

During the two days of waiting for the order, a large number of the inhabitants of the town of Bray died, and in just two days, more than 760 people died in the town of more than 3,000 people.

The whole town of Bray was terrified, and no one dared to go out and make contact with the others.

But the problem is that the townspeople don't have much food in their homes, and the source of drinking water is also a huge problem, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not last for a week, and the entire town of Bray will be completely wiped out.

After spending two days in panic, the order from the superior finally arrived.

The superior commander asked Captain Lucius to stick to Bray Town and not let go of any of the suspected infected townspeople, as for medical reinforcements and video reinforcements, Prince Arsson has already urgently recruited them, and it is believed that they will be delivered to Bray Town soon.

Hearing this, Gandalf couldn't help but frown, "From Arno to Bray Town, it will take at least five days, and it will take at least one or two days to collect supplies, which adds up to a week, how can you survive it?" ”

Lucius said helplessly: "Even if you can't get through it, you have to get through it." The townspeople of Bray are really miserable, but ...... I can't let the plague-infected townsfolk leave here and bring ruin to the entire Terran. I may be hated by the whole town of Bray if I seal the gates, but I will never become a Terran sinner because of it. ”

Xu Feng nodded, "Captain Lucius, you are doing the right thing, extraordinary times are to use extraordinary means, this is helplessness in helplessness." How many soldiers do you have in the town and what is their status? ”

Lucius immediately replied: "We have a whole squad here, originally a total of 50 people, it stands to reason that such a force is more than enough to garrison a non-frontier town and maintain the law and order of this town, but in the event of a disaster, we really can't do anything but block the town." ”

In the end, Lucius blamed himself.

Xu Feng asked, "Are any of the 50 of you infected?" ”

Lucius said helplessly: "Yes, there are nine people who have been infected, eight of them have died, and the remaining one has been placed by us in an abandoned warehouse five hundred meters away from the arrow tower...... The soldiers are my siblings, and I, as the captain, should have protected them, but now I can only watch them die a tragic death. ”

Xu Feng wanted to comfort the sad captain, but in the end he held back.

People are always powerless in the face of disasters, and only time can heal the wounds.

Xu Feng asked again, "How did you learn about the situation in the town?" ”

Lucius immediately said, "Our arrow tower passage was built around the entire town of Bray, which is why we were able to block the entrance and exit in such a quick time. But we don't really know much about the situation in the town, so we can only stand on the arrow tower and watch from afar. ”

Xu Feng asked again: "So, are there any townspeople who storm the arrow tower and want to escape?" ”

Lucius hesitated slightly, but finally nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Feng asked, "Then how did you stop it?" ”

Lucius said helplessly: "We first shouted loudly to advise them to stay indoors and not to come out to gather, so as not to be infected, but there are still people who want to escape. I can't say that such people are selfish, but if they are allowed to flee with the plague pathogens, then I will be a sinner of the whole human race. So...... I commanded my soldiers to bend their bows and arrows and stun them with arrows. ”

"Does it work?" Xu Feng asked.

"Thankfully, it's working so far." Lucius smiled bitterly and said, "But maybe next time, there won't be such a deterrent." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gandao couldn't help asking, "Captain Lucius, please tell me the truth, if there are really townsfolk attacking the arrow tower, will you really shoot them?" ”

Lucius was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "I think I will." ”

Gandalf asked, "Even if it's possible that they haven't actually been infected by the plague?" ”

Lucius said: "I can't be sure of this, what I can be sure of is that everyone is suspected of being infected, so it is most correct to stay at home quietly at this time, nail your doors and windows, and not give Boruto a chance to infect yourself, nor give yourself a chance to infect others." ”

Gandalf said, "You must know that if you shoot any innocent civilian, you will be punished by Terran law. ”

"I know." Lucius smiled solemnly, "Why do I want this? It's just that it happened to me, and that's all I can do. Even if I were stoned to death by the townsfolk of Bray afterwards, it would be better than letting the plague spread out of my hands. Let's put it this way, I'm ready to carry the black cauldron, this pot is already black, and I'm in this position again, if I don't carry it, who will carry it? ”

Gandalf nodded, "...... You're doing the right thing, though I don't want to admit it. ”
