Chapter 9: Black disaster

Emperor Alfred squatted beside the two fallen soldiers and reached over to look at their chins. He instinctively did not use his fingers to touch these two people. His bloodline gave him an intuition. The black spots are very dangerous, and if they are forcibly touched, they may cause damage to the emperor. So his nails gradually grew into a protruding claw tip, and he used his nails to fiddle with the heads of the two warriors, and saw the dark spots clearly.
The soldiers around fell to their knees, and even many officers and supervisors who were not in this position came together. They were also very curious about how the emperor's majesty suddenly appeared here, observing two ordinary soldiers falling to the ground.
The subsequent guards and ministers finally arrived one by one, and the guards quickly stopped a circle and drove out the soldiers who were kneeling around.
"Your Majesty, let's check it out. You might cause others to speculate." Master Gandas said.
Alfred said: "What's wrong with this. I care about my soldiers as normal. In fact, the problem may be more serious than we thought. I can almost confirm that this kind of dark spot is a very serious one. Disease, Mollett and these two soldiers have been infected with it.
This disease can make my Holy Blood feel an instinctive danger, which means that if it is not handled carefully, it can cause us huge losses. "
"Your Majesty! It would be so serious?" Several ministers asked in unison. They all knew that the Emerald Dragon bloodline was originally a very sharp bloodline. If the emperor had such a hunch, it might be the case! "
Master Gandas carefully observed and compared the black spots on the soldier ’s face. These black spots were already the size of coins, and gradually became a piece. He asked: "Is it said that Morrett is still in an early stage of illness? , And the situation of these two soldiers has become more serious. "
"It's quite possible," Alfred said. "Now put the two soldiers in two rooms separately, and send the healing mage to check them. The others go to notify all the troops in Heimuguan, see No one else has such symptoms of dark spots. Anyone who has such symptoms will be sent together to concentrate. "
"Your Majesty, what about me?" Mollett pointed to himself.
"You just picked a big house and made it a place for patients. The order in the room is your responsibility. Master Edel is in charge of things outside." Alfred ordered.

The search conducted by the emperor soon yielded results. To their surprise, the entire Blackwood Pass had identified more than 50 people who started to develop black spots on their bodies.
But the next thing quickly shocked them. They found two people with black patches all over their body in a black guard barracks.
And they were the two who had just fought the day before yesterday and fled from outside to Kuroki Pass.
The two of them could not get up in bed. According to them, they felt that their physical condition was not right after returning from yesterday. Today, their bodies are suddenly black and soft, and they are unable to support any action.
If it was not for the person who was searching, he could not knock on the door and smelled a strange smell inside. They may die unconsciously in bed.
Seeing the status of these two people, Alfred knew that the power of this disease was more powerful than he had imagined. Over two days, a middle-level wizard and a low-level warrior could completely lose their power and change. It was unheard of in two muds.

"Your Majesty, this is probably a disease that will spread from one person to another. If the two people contracted this disease when they met the Chinese, then today is only the third of them. God. Now that so many people have started to get sick, the situation tomorrow is really unpredictable! "Gandas said.
"Do you think the Chinese are likely to let them deliberately contract this disease?" Alfred asked.
Gandas nodded slowly: "It is very likely that if my army is much smaller than the enemy, I will definitely try every means to reduce the number of the enemy. The plague is undoubtedly a simple and effective method."
"These people are so fierce enough to be our enemy. I even admire the people who came up with this idea."
"Your Majesty's mind is really admirable."
Emperor Alfred waved his hands and commanded: "Let everyone return to their barracks, now under the supervision of my personal guards, and begin to implement the blockade. Anyone who has no reason to come out and run around will be killed."
Suddenly he thought of something. He asked the Chancellor of the Treasury, Duke Hanicks, and asked, "How many of those teams transporting materials left here yesterday and today?"
Hanks said for a moment, nervously: "There are probably three to four caravans per day, but the specific number requires my deputy to check the records."
"Go to check immediately. After checking, tell Heiwei to let them send someone to chase. All the teams must return to Heimu Pass and accept our investigation. They passed through any villages and towns so that the people in the villages and towns can also reach Heimu Pass. "
The Duke of Hanicks nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, I understand. I must bring the people over without leaving, and I will solve them all if I don't come. I will let our people burn all those bodies and decide Do not allow this plague to spread into the empire. "
"Very good. I believe you can do it. As long as it is discovered early and handled well, I don't believe how much damage a single disease can cause us."

However, the news from the next day surprised Alfred.
"The two of you mean that the healer does not treat this disease well?"
"Yes." Gandas and Edel nodded together. Next to them, there was a middle-aged man who was the highest-ranking high-level mage Rodman of Heimuguan. "We used many kinds of The method, treatment of magic, alchemy potions, and even the herbal medicine of doctors, except that magic can slightly delay the development of the disease, his method did not work at all. But even if it was treated with magic, the patient's condition did not improve. The patient himself In the case of a magician or a warrior, you can persist for a longer period of time. But ordinary people are hard to survive. Several people who developed the disease yesterday have surpassed Eresto and Figueras, two of which are already difficult to survive. It ’s over tonight. "
"How many sick people are there now?" The emperor asked.
Gandas and Edel looked at each other and spit out a number from their mouth: "460 people!"
