Chapter 892 Although I Don't Want to Admit It

"Yes."

Captain Lucius did not dare to disobey the gray-robed mage Gandalf, and immediately told Gandalf and Xufeng about the plague in Bray Town.

It turned out that the plague broke out only three days ago.

This is why Gandalf has not been notified by the Holy White Council.

If he had known that there was a plague here, Gandalf would definitely choose to postpone the Lonely Mountain Expedition and solve the plague here first.

The plague happened without warning. First, a child in the town got lung disease. After seeing a doctor, the doctor only said it was a common cough, prescribed some herbal medicine to treat the cough, and left.

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

First he coughed up red blood, and in the evening, he started to cough up black blood. Before dawn on the third day, the child died.

The family who lost the child was very angry, thinking that the doctor must have prescribed herbal medicines indiscriminately, which caused them to lose their beloved son, so they gathered a group of neighbors and went to the doctor's house to ask the teacher.

When they arrived, they found that the doctor had also fallen ill and started coughing up blood just like the dead child.

The doctor closed the door desperately and told everyone that this was an infectious plague he had never seen before.

The neighbors in the neighborhood suddenly became chaotic and fled from the doctor's house in a hurry.

But the efficiency of the spread of the plague was too high. The child's parents started to get sick and coughed the next day, and the neighbors who had close contact with them also started to cough.

Immediately afterwards, the entire street was infected with the plague, and all the townspeople hid at home and dared not go out.

Of course, there are also some townspeople who want to escape from the plague place of Bray Town, but after learning about the incident, the captain Lucius, who is in charge of guarding here, immediately blocked all the town exits and ordered the townspeople to stay at home. Order the orderly and report to the superior commander.

During the two days of waiting for the order, a large number of residents of Bray Town died. There were originally more than 3000 people in the town, but in just two days, more than 760 people died.

The whole town of Bray was terrified, and no one dared to go out to meet other people.

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. If this continues, it may not last for a week, and the entire town of Bray will be wiped out.

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

The higher-level commander asked Captain Lucius to stick to Bray Town and not let any suspected infected townspeople go. As for medical reinforcements and video reinforcements, Prince Arson has already urgently recruited, and it is believed that they will be delivered to Bray Town soon.

Hearing this, Gandalf couldn't help frowning, "It takes at least five days to travel from Arno to Bray Town, and at least one or two days to collect supplies, which adds up to a full week. How can you Could it possibly survive?"

Lucius said helplessly: "Even if you can't make it through, you have to. The townspeople in Bray Town are really miserable, but... I can't let the townspeople infected by the plague leave here, and bring the entire human race to their knees." I may be hated by the entire Bray Town if I block the town gate, but I will never become a sinner for the human race because of this.”

Xufeng nodded, "Captain Lucius, you are right. In an extraordinary period, you need to use extraordinary means. This is helplessness. How many soldiers do you have in the town, and how are they in condition?"

Lucius immediately replied: "We have a whole team here, originally there were 50 people in total. It stands to reason that such a force is more than enough to garrison a non-border town and maintain the law and order of this town, but , Once there is a disaster, there is really nothing we can do, except to block the town, there is nothing we can do."

In the end, Lucius blamed himself quite a bit.

Xufeng asked: "Among the 50 of you, is anyone infected?"

Lucius said helplessly: "Yes, nine people were infected, eight of them died, and the remaining one was placed in an abandoned warehouse 500 meters away from the watchtower. I don't know what happened to him now. It's like this, calculated by time, I'm afraid...the soldiers are all my brothers and sisters, as the captain, I should have protected them, but now I can only watch them die miserably."

Xufeng really wanted to comfort the sad captain, but finally held back.

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

Xufeng asked again: "How do you know about the situation in the town?"

Lucius immediately said: "Our archery passage was built around the entire town of Bray, which is why we were able to block the entrance and exit in such a short time. But regarding the situation in the town, we actually I don’t know much about it, so I can only stand on the watchtower and watch from a distance.”

Xufeng asked again: "So, are there any townspeople who attacked the watchtower and wanted to escape?"

Lucius hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes."

Xufeng 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 some people who want to escape. I can't say that such people are selfish, but if they are allowed to carry the plague If the pathogen escapes, then I will be the sinner of the entire human race. So... I ordered the soldiers to bend their bows and set arrows to frighten them with arrows."

"Is it effective?" Xufeng asked.

"Thank God, it's still effective." Lucius said with a wry smile, "But maybe next time, it won't have such a deterrent effect."

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

Lucius was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely, "I think I will."

Gandalf asked, "Even though it is possible that they were not yet infected by the plague?"

Lucius said: "I can't be sure about this. What I can be sure of is that everyone is suspected of being infected, so at this time, stay at home quietly, nail up your doors and windows, and prevent yourself from being infected by bloggers." It is most correct not to give yourself the opportunity to infect others."

Gandalf said: "You must know that if you shoot any innocent civilian, you will be punished by the laws of the human race."

"I know." Lucius smiled calmly, "why do I want to do this? It's just that something happened to me, so I can only do this. Even after another time, I was stoned by the townspeople of Bray Town It's better to die than to let this plague spread from my hands. Let's put it this way, I'm ready to take the blame. Back?"

Gandalf nodded, "...you are right, though I don't want to admit it."
