  Chapter 194 Plague

  Originally, Duanmuhuai planned to kill that idiot as soon as possible, and then resolve the civil war in Bretonnia, but what he didn't expect was that when he rushed to the battlefield, the guy named Marobold had already been killed!

   And the one who killed him was none other than the green knight who said "Love is a ray of light, so green that you panic"!

   Speaking of which, how could I forget him?

Duanmu Huai patted his head as he looked at the green knight who raised Marobold's head to show off his might. He had heard that the lake gods and fairies had disappeared, so he subconsciously thought that the green knight had also disappeared. He didn't expect this guy to be so The time came out, and he was actually the founding emperor of Bretonnia... It was beyond Duanmuhuai's expectation.

   But no matter what, the matter of Bretonnia was settled, and the king assured Duanmuhuai that after the civil war was resolved, he would lead reinforcements to the empire to resist the attack of the Chaos army.

However, Duanmuhuai's task was not completed. The Green Knight also hoped that Duanmuhuai could go to see the situation of the southern leaders - I heard that there were rampant rats and plagues, and the Green Knight also did not want Bretonnia to be overrun by rats. back door. But the Southern Lands are independent territories, not within the boundaries of Bretonnia...

  The reason is the same as that of the emperor of the empire. Perhaps all emperors and kings have this virtue.

   Fortunately, Duanmu Huai originally thought that the rat problem was more important. If it wasn't for the Bretonnia mess, he would have gone there long ago. Now that the Green Knight is in charge of finishing, he unceremoniously handed over the work to the Green Knight. He took others to the southern territory.

   It's just...

   "It's so miserable..."

  Standing at the city gate, looking at the city in front of them, everyone showed surprised expressions.

The stalls outside the city gate were empty, and there were rotten fruits everywhere. There was no sound in the whole city, and the streets looked dirty and muddy. Walking on the streets, you could see sealed wooden doors and From the window, a rotten smell came, making people sick.

   "It's the plague."

  Seeing this, Duanmuhuai's expression sank.

   "Plague?"

   "That's right, the common method used by Ratmen is also the most annoying thing."

   Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai also gritted his teeth. The best method of the Skaven ratmen is to drive the rats and spread the plague and virus to every corner of the city. Humans may be able to eliminate the Ratman, but there is nothing they can do about the virus. Under the influence of the plague and the virus, the number of soldiers who can fight will gradually decrease. When the resistance of the entire city is completely disintegrated, the Skaven Ratman will swarm out and destroy the entire city.

   "Family, why are some doors marked with crosses?"

   Sitting in Duanmuhuai's arms, Bambi curiously pointed to the side and asked. On both sides of the street, there are some houses with a big fork painted on the wooden doors with white paint, which looks very strange.

   "That means there are patients inside, and generally speaking, they will be locked in the house and left to fend for themselves."

   "How come... Shouldn't priests treat these patients?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Lorena asked in surprise, while Duanmuhuai shook his head.

   "If you can't save it, you are also a priest. You should know that the power used by priests is limited. It may be possible for you to treat hundreds of patients a day. I don't think you are too busy to treat tens of thousands of patients?"

   "In this case, why not ask the gods for help?"

   "...Then only they know."

Duanmuhuai shook his head. The method adopted by the Ratman is also the most commonly used method by the believers of the God of Plague. Simply put, the lower limit of the medical system has been broken down. Whether it is magic or science, the patients treated will always be limited. Once this limit is exceeded, the entire medical system will collapse completely, and this situation cannot be avoided even in a highly developed interstellar world, let alone a world similar to the Middle Ages.

  In fact, in many worlds, due to untimely treatment, in order to prevent them from finally falling into the hands of the **** of disease, the judge issued an extermination order-hey, I will not give you what you want, and I will **** you off.

   As for another question... Well, Duanmu Huai said that he also wanted to ask.

  To be honest, Duanmuhuai really doesn't understand why compared with evil gods, righteous gods always seem very petty when they perform miracles. In this regard, the Nine Holy Spirits in Tianji Province are very calm. The statue is there, and anyone can go up to ask for a blessing. Although the blessing itself is not particularly strong, it can indeed make people feel the power bestowed by the gods .

  This is also the reason why there are only nine holy spirits in Mingtian Province, but there are more believers than demon gods.

  After all, when people have a choice, they are still willing to take the right path.

   That's right, when there is a choice.

   On the contrary, it is the gods here, who give Duanmu Huai the feeling that they are stingy and stingy. To be honest, Duanmuhuai was quite troubled by Bretonnia's problems at first. After all, the lake **** and fairy are missing, and the lake goddess is like a dead person. In that case, even if he defeated the rebels, he would definitely There will be a second fallen one to come forward.

   But now the Green Knight is responsible, so let him go.

   According to Duanmu Huai, there are two types of believers in general.

   One is that you don’t believe in it at ordinary times, and you just cram for it in an emergency.

  Another type of believer, in Duanmuhuai's view... is basically similar to buying insurance.

   To put it simply, paying a sum of money on weekdays, and then expecting insurance to come in handy when danger arises, is almost the same idea.

   Otherwise, why would someone devoutly believe in gods? There may be people who seek inner peace, but most people are obviously not the kind of monks.

  And when you have worked hard to pay insurance premiums for decades, and when you need to use it, the insurance company says that we will not pay you in this case-then the insurance company has the heart to smash it.

  Most of those fallen believers also think this way.

  So in many cases, it is better not to believe in an unreliable god. On the other hand, a religious institution like the Holy Church where Lorena belongs is a very reasonable religious institution. When something happens, the gods will take action, and the believers will immediately think of asking the gods for help-it is not like the hope that many believers pray for a miracle, but more like the reaction to calling the police when they encounter bad people.

   Relatively speaking, this religious relationship is much healthier.

   As for unhealthy religious relationships...like this.

   "Burn him!"

  When Duanmuhuai and his party walked through the street and came to the square, there was a crowd of people around here. They were holding torches, pitchforks, and some soldiers were beside them. At this moment, they were surrounding a man wearing a priest's robe, and threw stones and other things at him, smashing the head of the unlucky priest. Although the priest wanted to speak several times, he was interrupted by the mob.

   "We don't want sigma! Get out!"

   "Sigma is our patron saint!"

  Hearing the roar of the mob, the priest increased his voice.

   "He is our protector!"

   "Fuck your Sigma! Fuck your asylum! If asylum works, then my daughter won't die!"

  A peasant woman roared and threw a stone vigorously, hitting the priest. And beside her, there are many farmers laughing at him.

   "Where is the glory of your so-called god? Where was he when we needed him? Why didn't he stop the plague? Why did so many people die? Sigma is still indifferent? He doesn't care about our lives!"

   "You brought us the plague!"

  The other people next to him also burst into anger at this moment.

   "You brought this city to ruin! You brought it all! Capture him and burn him!"

   "Master Knight, do we... want to go up and help?"

An is not here, but Bambi is too frightened by the mob to speak. Augis sits on Duanmuhuai's shoulder as usual, ignoring these things at all. I'm afraid even if the priest was burned alive in front of him, Augis Jissie didn't care either. As for Audrey, she stood behind Duanmuhuai without saying a word, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

  Only Lorena was a little uneasy. After all, she was also a priest, so she couldn't bear to watch a priest be burned alive.

   "Okay, leave it to me."

  Duanmu Huai didn't bother to watch this farce anymore, he coughed, took a step forward, and roared angrily.

"roll!"

A sound like thunder shook the entire square in an instant, and those mobs also turned around. When they saw Duanmuhuai, the faces of these mobs instantly turned pale. They scurried around like mice, and some people were so frightened that they passed out on the spot.

   Well, thinking about it in a good way, this is actually no different from the appearance of the emperor superstar. When the emperor superstar appears on the stage, some fans will always pass out.

   It seems that his charm is close to that of a superstar.

Thinking so, Duanmuhuai walked up to the priest, who was just rubbing the blood off his forehead at this moment. When he saw Duanmuhuai walking over, his eyes were startled, but when he saw the Holy Grail on Duanmuhuai's chest When he got the badge, he saluted immediately.

   "I didn't expect to see the Holy Grail Knight here."

   "I didn't expect to see the priest of Sigma here... This is not the territory of the empire."

  The southern leaders are just next door to Bretonnia. It is understandable for Duanmu Huai to come to visit as a Holy Grail Knight, but it is incomprehensible for a Sigmar priest to come here.

"I heard about the plague that occurred in the southern territories, so I came here specially to spread the glory of Sigma... But you have also seen, Your Excellency, that they have been deeply poisoned by the plague, and they can't even understand the truth. As long as you have a devout faith, you can get a way of life..."

  How to put it, this is the incompatibility between the two.

  Hearing what the priest said, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

  For these plague-stricken people, as long as Sigma can perform miracles and clear the plague in this town, they will immediately become devout Sigmar believers.

  However, this priest believes that they must first show their pious beliefs before they can gain the glory of Sigmar...

   But for those who have lost everything, this obviously means nothing.

   "In short, let's find a place to talk first."

   Duanmu Huai glanced around.

   After all, the situation seems to be more complicated than I imagined.
