Chapter 20
As a royal city, St. Antis has a strange terrain.ππΏ
The road of God where the Ugin Hanging Palace complex is located is embedded in the Great Rift Valley, and the entire city of St. Antis starts from the Hanging Palace and extends all the way from the west bank of the Rift Valley. The terrain is evenly lower. From the shape of the map, Like a semicircle with edges in and out.ππΏ
The architectural style of the entire Wangcheng is mostly in line with the Ugin Hanging Palace, and the tone is calm and atmospheric. Standing on the highest hanging palace, looking down, there are countless roofs inlaid with black ink and gold threads, which always give people a sense of blood boiling grandeur.ππΏ
Except today...ππΏ
Osved, who received the urgent report from the Royal City Patrol Army, got on the horse without saying a word, and rushed out of the palace with a small team of black armor and black horses.ππΏ
It was pouring rain outside, day and night. The stagnant water flowed along the terrain, and splashed under the horses' hooves.ππΏ
There are a total of six large and small medical clinics in Wangcheng. Osved has a high head and a big horse. The urgent and crisp sound of horse hooves flowed back and forth in the streets of Wangcheng, hardly ever stopping. Probably because the atmosphere was too tense, even the residents of Wangcheng who were accustomed to the sound of horses' hooves couldn't help but look out of the window.ππΏ
If you don't close it, you can't stop it, because the flying insects are infested, and you can't stop it.ππΏ
"Your Majesty, you can see that all the hospitals are packed." Peter, the commander of the cavalry army, pushed off the copper wire mask on his face and said to Osved, "It was even more chaotic before, it's raining heavily today, and the road is already slippery. , it is easy to fall, and once you hit it, you can't move at all. The streets are jammed with people everywhere. I mobilized the entire city's cavalry troops to disperse them and move them to the nearest hospital. But..."ππΏ
The streets are cleared and people are temporarily settled, but fear has spread unstoppably.ππΏ
If there are only one or two people, the news can be temporarily blocked to avoid more panic. But there are people all over the city where this happens, it is impossible to seal it up. Although the Royal City of St. Antis is large, true and false rumors broke out at the same time in the streets and alleys, and it only took one lunch to spread from point to surface throughout the city.ππΏ
Peter said: "Most of them are elderly people and children, who are prone to bumps and bumps, but now they won the lottery like a gust of wind. We were afraid that we were not serious, so we paid extra attention when helping, which wasted a lot of time. By the time most of the people are settled and they come out of the hospital, the streets will be what they are now."ππΏ
Osved took the reins and glanced around, his awe-inspiring face hidden behind a copper wire mask, and his expression was unclear.ππΏ
Although the Golden Lion Country has been suppressed for nearly 700 years, the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, at least the King City can be called lively. But now, it only took half a day for a plague of insects and a strange "petrification" to turn St. Antis into a lifeless, empty city.ππΏ
Most of the houses are closed, for fear of leaking a little gap.ππΏ
There was not a trace of pedestrians on the criss-crossed streets, except for the overcrowded medical clinic, which was full of people crying.ππΏ
The original calm color of the main city, at this time, showed a great sense of emptiness and emptiness, gray and without any vitality.ππΏ
Wangcheng has become like this, let alone other places.ππΏ
In the evening, the old priest of the priest's house dragged his body full of fat, lying on the horse vulture's back, and rushed into the hanging palace, followed by his two young lieutenants, who looked anxious as if they were sitting on their buttocks. on the fire.ππΏ
They almost rolled off the horse when they saw Osved, and the old priest couldn't make it because half of his body was also stoned.ππΏ
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Red Iron Army in the north and the Bronze Garrison in the west have come to report urgently!" The old priest lay on his horse and shouted.ππΏ
The two deputies hurriedly lifted him down and leaned back gently on the chair.ππΏ
Osved's eyebrows jumped when he heard the word "Urgent News" now: "Is this also happening in the military camp?"ππΏ
"It should be!" The old priest nodded again and again before he could catch his breath. "Because it was a signal for help, let the palace add medical officers to the garrison."ππΏ
The long history of war has made Golden Lion Country grind out a complete set of emergency signals, just like letter sand, which will appear in the observation pool of the Priestly Court, with different colors and states representing different meanings. Once such information becomes a system, the meaning expressed is limited after all. Therefore, it is only used to deliver military reports when it is extremely urgent.ππΏ
In general, there will be a more detailed emergency report, which will be expedited and returned to the base camp through traditional methods. What Kevin holds in his hand is the one he just received.ππΏ
He let go of the white eagle that was almost out of breath, put on his mask, turned on his horse, entered the hospital without any obstacles, and almost galloped to Osved before he suddenly pulled the reins: "This kind of situation occurs in a large area in the bronze garrison. Most of them were caused by hits during drills today, and now they have been stopped urgently. In addition, Mio said that he watched all day, and those flying insects that found that area were mainly from the northeast. He has now ordered people to be at the border Add a fire pit on the line, first block it with a smoke wall, and let the medical officer bring some herbs to burn together."ππΏ
Before the horse vulture completely stopped, Kevin had already swept his long legs down and handed the military newspaper in his hand to Osved.ππΏ
"Northeast direction?" Osved pinched his eyebrows, quickly glanced at the general content, and said, "His northeast direction, isn't that the area of ββMain Town?"ππΏ
Kevin nodded and added thoughtfully, "But if you draw a line along Main Town, you can reach the Kara River."ππΏ
"You meanβ" Osved was about to speak when another hooves galloped close.ππΏ
"..."ππΏ
Today's emergency military newspapers just fell down like they didn't need money. The one who had just been sent away from the Priest's Court, and Kevin's came again. Kevin hasn't left yet.ππΏ
The military report brought by Camus just complemented what Osved left unfinished - those flying insects had made their nests in the area of ββthe Kela River.ππΏ
"Ladd and his team almost turned over the soil along the coast, and the ground was full of worm eggs. It used to be there, but it wasn't so exaggerated. Ladd said it was as if the river bank had been 'some kind of fertilizer'. They planned to Burn the soil that was turned out and clean up part of it. But the rain is too heavy, and the effect is not obvious."ππΏ
"Fertilizer?" Kevin frowned. He couldn't help thinking of the sand piles that were all over the ground that night. The thing could not be touched with his hands at all. Except for the part that fell into the river, the rest was almost buried in the ground to avoid accidentally hurting people.ππΏ
Could it be caused by those sand piles?ππΏ
Once things get involved with sand ghost, anything is possible.ππΏ
"Also, Rad arranged for a small group of people to sneak into the North Emerald Country. Guess what, Your Majesty?" Camus said to Osved, "The density of flying insects in North Emerald Country is at least twice that of the river side. It is said that Sapir is getting sicker and can't get up anymore. His eldest son Mankao is gone, and the youngest son, Botte, who has lost his mind, was urgently recalled to the king's city, and he has no plans."ππΏ
Bote was the little bastard who was holding Mai and Xiao at the casino. Osved got angry when he thought of his unrighteous face, and sneered, saying: "Whenever a country is about to kick its legs, God There's always going to be a few idiots for it to use up the last bit of lingering breath."ππΏ
But the worse situation on the North Emerald Country side made Kevin more convinced that those flying insects were related to the sand piles, to be precise, it should be related to the bottle of stuff that the sand ghost gave North Emerald Country. The female worm that he shot through with an arrow, and the little flying worms that got into the body of the Mankao guards, should be the culprits of this "strange disease".ππΏ
Osved obviously thought the same thing as Kevin, and he heard him say with a cold face: "I knew that sand ghost couldn't be so kind, and gave Sapir help for nothing but returned to his old nest."ππΏ
Insect plagues and "strange diseases" are enough to make the other clans devastated and careless. But when the rainy season is over, they make a comeback, and the other tribes have already been severely damaged, and it is easy for them to attack.ππΏ
The most gnashing of teeth is that even if you have linked the cause and effect and know their intentions, you have to bite the bullet and continue to move forward, because it is imperative to resist the plague of insects.ππΏ
Everyone has been bitten by those flying insects to some extent. In the past, it was just a matter of itching for a few days, but now it has become a sword hanging over the head. donβt know when it will fall off, just like a sword The ever-present reminder.ππΏ
This night everyone was extremely tormented, whether it was in the palace or outside the palace.ππΏ
Osved stayed up all night, staring at the garrison newspaper. The priest's house was also brightly lit, and several priests lay beside the observation pool without daring to blink. In the hospital, the hospital is so busy that one can't touch the ground. If an effective powder can be dispensed one minute earlier, one will be relieved one minute earlier.ππΏ
In addition to the Royal City cavalry army, more Wangcheng troops were divided into countless squads and rushed to various towns in the Golden Lion Country overnight.ππΏ
In the early morning, Ian, the old housekeeper who went to the grave for thousands of years, because he slept on the neck, hardened from the top of the spine to the back of the head, and his head could not move:ππΏ
When the little lion class got up in the morning, they found that the ring finger and index finger of the right hand had also become gravel-like because they were pressed;ππΏ
Angela's left eye turned into a lifeless gray, as if a piece was cut from the statue and stuffed into her eye socket;ππΏ
In just one day, the gray-yellow dividing line on Sinnia's elbow spread up another centimeter:ππΏ
...ππΏ
Kevin put his hands on Osved's desk, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a calm but irresistible tone: "It's not difficult to enter Fae's tomb, I can do it alone."ππΏ
Osved couldn't help cursing, "Alone? Are you crazy?! What a joke!"ππΏ
