Chapter 893 Black Blood Plague
Xufeng asked again: "How about your living supplies? How long will it last?"

Lucius sighed, "We originally had strategic materials. The strategic materials should be enough for our 50-member team to eat and drink for a year. If we distribute these materials to the townspeople, I believe it can last for about a week."

Gandalf asked, "Then why don't you give it?"

Lucius smiled bitterly: "Because we never really got strategic materials at all, remember the abandoned warehouse I told you just now? That warehouse should have been full, but it has been empty for several years .”

"Why is this so?" asked Gandalf.

Lucius said helplessly: "I probably have to ask our superior quartermaster. I used to urge him for supplies, but he always used various excuses to prevaricate. Of course, this is not what I am most worried about. I What I am most worried about is, if Prince Arson has raised relief supplies this time, what will happen if they are handed over to the quartermaster again?"

Gandalf asked: "What is the name of the quartermaster? Where does he live now?"

Lucius said: "His name is Gould, and he lives in the Nernhahn military fortress. The Nernhahn military fortress is about a day away from here, even if you ride a fast horse, it will take half a day. Hahn is to the north of us, and the relief supplies in the capital of Arno can only be delivered to us through Nern Hahn."

Gandalf thought for a while, "According to calculations, Prince Arson's first rescue should be able to pass through Nernhahn."

Lucius said worriedly: "That's what I said, but I'm worried that things won't be that easy."

Xufeng asked: "Are you worried that the quartermaster named Gould will secretly trip you up?"

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. After all, this is an extraordinary time." Lucius said comfortingly.

Gandalf looked at Xufeng, "Diddy, what do you think we should do now?"

They have roughly understood the situation here, and what to do next is the most difficult decision.

Xufeng thought for a while, "First of all, we don't know the situation in the town yet, so we have to go to the town to have a look first, and then make a decision after knowing it."

Captain Lucius quickly said: "This is absolutely impossible! Both of you are people of status and status. If you go to the town, if you get infected with the plague, then..."

Although he didn't go on, the implication was obvious. Even if the great mage of the Holy White Council was infected with the plague, he couldn't amplify the mage's departure.

Of course, with his strength, if he wanted to keep Gandalf and Xufeng, it would be a fool's dream.

Xufeng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Captain Lucius, we have taken precautions. If we are infected with the plague, we will self-isolate without your telling us."

Captain Lucius still shook his head, "No, no, this is absolutely not possible."

"We need not obey you," said Gandalf. "I am afraid your Prince Arson would not be able to stop us here."

Lucius thought for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, "Well, Mr. Gandalf, you are right. If you insist on entering the town, please be at least ten meters away from those townspeople. Watch out for the plague germs that can be passed on to you by their breath."

Gandalf said lightly: "Okay, I understand, let your people open the door leading to the town."

Lucius paused for a moment, and finally said to the soldiers behind him in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Gandalf said? Open the gate to the town!"

Several soldiers quickly opened the door of the archery tower inside, and Xufeng and Gandalf walked out immediately.

As soon as they walked out, the door behind them slammed shut.

Xufeng shook her head and smiled, "This is really ready-made, but it is understandable that this is an extraordinary period."

Gandalf sighed: "I remember that Bray Town was a prosperous human town, but I didn't expect it to become so depressed now."

The two stepped out of the long corridor of the watchtower, and saw rows of spiked wooden rafts outside the watchtower, and some of the spiked wooden rafts could still see dried blood.

These things are naturally used to prevent the townspeople from attacking.

It can also be imagined how critical the situation in the town is now.

After walking through these spiked wooden rafts, it is not so easy to go back to the watchtower.

Xufeng pointed to a dilapidated warehouse not far away and said: "That should be the soldier's material warehouse. Lucius said that there is a sick soldier there. Let's go there first."

"Okay." Gandalf nodded.

Although, in terms of Gandalf's age, qualifications, and status, Gandalf should be in control of this situation, but in fact, the whole situation is involuntarily controlled by Xufeng.

After the two walked outside the warehouse, Xufeng put on the gloves that had been prepared a long time ago, and pushed the broken wooden door of the warehouse.

However, although the wooden door was broken, it was not pushed open.

Obviously, someone used a heavy object to hold it inside.

Xufeng asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone inside?"

After a while, a weak voice came from inside, "I'm infected, you guys leave this place quickly."

Xufeng immediately asked: "Are you a soldier in the town? What's your name? How is your condition now?"

The man hesitated for a moment before whispering: "My name is Layton, and I am a soldier in this town. I was infected with this terrible black blood plague while preventing the townspeople from storming the watchtower. This is my first day. Infected, I have already started coughing up red blood, and in another day, I will start coughing up black blood, and after coughing up black blood, I will die, so please don’t come near me.”

Xufeng said in a deep voice: "Laiden, you are a man."

Layton said bitterly: "Sir, if you can, please tell my mother who is far away in River Valley Town, tell her... I love her, and I did this to prevent this damned plague from spreading to my hometown .”

Xufeng said emotionally: "Laiden, you are a good son. Now, I want to ask you, do you know the situation in the town?"

Layton said: "In normal times, I know the people in the town better, and I understand the situation in the town."

Xufeng said: "Your captain Lucius said that more than 700 people have died in the town. Is this true?"

Layton said: "Not exactly, I mean, the captain is a good captain, and his method of forcibly closing the city is also correct, but sometimes he is too careless, he can't go deep into the town to check Casualties are roughly judged by the number of townspeople who stormed the watchtower yesterday. Thousands of people stormed the watchtower yesterday. If the old, weak, sick and disabled are excluded, the captain believes that at least 800 people have died. In fact... Most of the residents of Bray Town are kind-hearted. They know that the plague they contracted will infect others, and they are willing to consciously stay at home and wait for the rescue of the Arno royal family... Cough cough, but, They are too hungry. This year's crops have not yet started to be harvested. The previous years' food has been eaten up. Now is the time when the crops are most starved. They have nothing to eat. If this continues, these people will not be infected by the black blood plague. You must also starve to death! Therefore, the top priority is to provide clean food and clean drinking water to the people in the town as soon as possible, so that they can stay at home with peace of mind, so that the Black Blood Plague can be suppressed!"
