Knowing that His Highness had a cure for the plague, Tasa's restless mood finally calmed down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And once you have something to do, the next few days seem to go by a lot faster.

In addition to visiting the wineries in the suburbs and planning the route of the convoy, he also kept in mind the terrain from the canal pier to the city gate.

Now it is much more troublesome to enter the royal city, because of the outcasts outside the city, the major gates of the royal capital have been closed, and outsiders are forbidden to enter - especially after knowing that the church is distributing holy medicine, every day desperate crowds storm the city gates, hoping to go to the church to seek treatment, and the guards on the city walls do not hesitate to respond with bows and crossbows, and now there are many corpses piled up at the city gates, emitting a foul smell under the scorching sun.

The only side gate that was open was for nobles and merchants transporting grain—but Tasa had been on the patrol for a long time, and was a native of the royal city, and most of the guards on duty knew him, so he only had to say hello when he came in and out.

Because of this, the contact between the inside and outside of the city was almost cut off, even if the fugitives were transported with great fanfare at the dock, it was difficult for the news to reach the city, not to mention that for the upper nobles, they wished that someone would take away all the refugees from the eastern border who might explode at any time, and the province would have to concentrate patrols to suppress the riot at that time.

Tasa probably understood the feelings of His Highness who had decided to set out on the day he received the letter, these people had been abandoned by the royal capital, and if the church sent priests out of the city to distribute holy medicine at this time, I am afraid that most of the fugitives would become devout believers.

If His Highness can get ahead of the Church and bring them under his command a new life and a place to live, there is no doubt that they will become ardent supporters of His Highness.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the returning fleet arrived at the canal dock on time, Tasa was surprised to find that there were as many as 300 soldiers of the First Army sent by His Highness, and most of them were equipped with revolving rifles. With this powerful team as a guarantee, even if the church learns the news, it is estimated that it will not be able to stop the fugitives from leaving.

"Lightning!" Margaery, who was also waiting at the docks, saw the little girl's figure and couldn't wait to go up and hug her.

"......Who is this?" asked Iron Axe.

"The master of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, Lady Margaery. "She contacted and provided all the ships needed for this delivery, and she did a lot to make the plan come true." ”

"I see," Iron Axe nodded to her, "thank you for your help. ”

"I'll deduct this fee from Your Highness," she shrugged, "and thank lightning instead of me." ”

Lightning tilted his head, "Why?"

"Ahem, it's nothing," Tassa coughed twice, "what are you going to do next?"

"Set up camp on the south side of the pier and control the dock area at the same time, and carry out rescue in the afternoon. The iron axe said, "If the ship is to be spoken, I will leave it to you." ”

Brian couldn't help but frown as he led his men into the refugee area.

Everywhere there were dying patients, black blood and pus pouring from their cracked skin, causing flies to swarm in, but they didn't even have the strength to drive them away, and let these flying insects crawl around and lick the blood.

He couldn't help but think of the Evil Moon, when the people of the border towns were trapped in the slums of the fortress, and they were also powerless in the face of hunger and cold. If this is really the work of the church, it is simply an unforgivable sin.

"Gather the ones who can move first," said Brian, "it's up to you, Miss Echo." ”

Rashly advertised among the crowd that they had drugs that could treat the epidemic, and if they couldn't keep it, it would cause a sensation, and when the crowd of people all poured into the dock area, the dozens of people on their own could not be suppressed at all. Therefore, the notification must be done in batches, and it is precisely this that Her Highness has arranged for the echo to accompany her - her ability to designate the sound to be in a certain area, or to be in someone's ear.

Brian only saw her mouth open and didn't make any sound, and someone from the fugitives had already looked over.

Soon, a group of people stumbled over, "My lord, are you telling the truth, as long as I can cure this disease, I am willing to go to the west with you!"

It's done, Brian was overjoyed, "Of course, our ship has stopped at the dock area, bring your family, come with me!"

Other soldiers also stepped forward to help carry the patient lying on the ground, unable to move, and the line instantly expanded to several hundred people, heading towards the canal docks. Many people noticed this scene and rushed over. Back at the docks, the soldiers of the First Army had placed bags containing purified water on a long table, and the entrance to the trestle was handled by iron axes, allowing only two people to pass at a time, ensuring that all those who boarded the boat drank the purified water.

"Listen, these bags contain medicine, and if you drink it, you will be cured in no time. There was also a platform set up at the long table, on which stood a famous soldier, who kept preaching His Highness's manuscripts, "The so-called evil plague of the church is caused by witches, and it is nonsense that only holy medicine can get rid of it, they just want to earn more money, and they want you to kneel down and thank you for saving your life." And His Royal Highness Roland not only brought the potion, but also did not charge any fees! That's right, not a single bronze eagle is needed!"

The words caused a commotion in the crowd, and the first person to drink the purified water quickly felt the change in his body. He ripped off his clothes in disbelief and watched the dark spots fade quickly, "This medicine really works! I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Me too, the gods are above, the wound is no longer bleeding!"

"God, where is it? All I saw was a bunch of liars!"

"That's right, this medicine has nothing to do with the church!"

"Long live His Highness Roland!"

As more people recovered, the reaction became more and more agitated, and if it weren't for the First Army soldiers controlling the order, the long table with water bags would be immediately overwhelmed by the fugitives.

"Now His Highness Roland is exploring the West, and he needs a lot of manpower to cultivate the fields, build houses, and build roads...... He doesn't charge for potions, and he doesn't force you to go to the West," the soldier in charge of propaganda continued to say in a loud voice, "But Your Highness promises that whoever is willing to go to the West and serve him will receive food, shelter, and salary! Whatever your strengths, you can get a job that matches you! Those who are willing, step forward and follow the mercenaries on the ship to their new homeland! It doesn't matter if you don't want to, you can leave after three days of assistance here, and the food for these three days will also be provided by the caravan for free!"

"Do you really have a place to live and a salary?" someone asked aloud.

"Of course, this is the condition that His Highness Roland said personally!" the soldier nodded in response.

"Please let me get on the boat, I am willing to serve His Highness!"

"Me too!"

"And me, my lord!"

"I'm a blacksmith!"

“......”

Brian was pleased to see that none of the hundreds of people in this group chose to stay in the royal capital, but all boarded the sailing ship to the west. A ship set off as soon as it was fully loaded, and the subsequent empty ships followed, without the slightest pause under Margaery's command.

Bryan then traveled back and forth between the camp and the docks, relying on echo sound to attract groups of fugitives from the East, each time keeping the number to three or four hundred. Just as he was returning to the docks with a group of newly recruited patients, he suddenly saw the First Army stationed in the wheat fields to the south move. A squad sped towards the north bank of the canal, guns already in their hands.

"What's going on?" he asked Iron Axe's men.

"Miss Lightning, who is scouting, said that someone has secretly jumped off ship and escaped," said the other man after saluting, "probably a rat hiding among the refugees, right?" (To be continued.) )
