Chapter 493 Dead Cloud 2

Due to the rapid march of the Green Dragon Knights led by the commander of the Kulos Legion, the return time originally scheduled for about a week has now returned to the suburbs of Karad City one day earlier. However, what awaits them is a frightening and shocking pattern.

Countless black crows soared in the air, hoarsely, constantly piercing the soldiers of the Green Dragon Knights who had just entered here. Then, from a distance, he looked at the rising wisps of black smoke, which dyed the already dark sky more gray. With the wind, bursts of smelly and unpleasant smells kept drifting over, making the soldiers keep covering their mouths and noses, which was very disgusting.

This series of unknown scenes also made the generals of the Green Dragon Knights who have experienced hundreds of battles feel depressed and dull.

Deputy Commander William said worriedly, "Legion leader, we haven't contacted the third team of Captain Srod for two days. I don't know what's going on now? It's really worrying."

Koulos: "Well, Srod will no longer send messengers here. How his troops are now? We'll know in a minute."

At this time, the dust ahead was light, and a cavalry team of several people was approaching. It was recognized from the flag that it was Srod's direct unit, and the leader of the team was Srod himself. Although this is now the control area of the Blue Dragon Knights, as an equally important sub-captain, it is really too careless without assigning troops to protect them together, or can they only do this when the rebels will appear at any time?

Captain Srod couldn't wait to come to Kulos and plead to him, "Report to the commander of the legion, it's too dereliction of duty, which has put some of my team into a great crisis. Please ask the commander of the legion to blame for the reprisal."

Kulos: "Captain Srod, what is the current situation of some of your teams? Since the last time you sent an expedited report mentioning the epidemic report, no report has been sent from you. Is this epidemic really that serious?

When it comes to the epidemic, Srod's expression on his face became very anxious and seemed to be a big problem: "Yes, Legion leader, this epidemic is really so serious that our department has no response to this, and it spreads very fast. At the beginning, it quickly infected the headquarters at a speed. The team really made me panic a lot. Although I quickly took emergency defense measures to curb the spread of the epidemic, now, it has only been ten days, and more than half of the soldiers of the whole team have been infected with this terrible epidemic.

Srod's words made all the generals present feel like being hit by lightning on their heads, and they couldn't believe the reality they heard in their ears.

Alec, the captain of the second team, couldn't help shouting: "How can it be so serious! It's simply unheard of."

Srod: "Yes, it is because the epidemic is too serious that I dare not send too many summons to report the information to the commander of the legion. Now I don't bring troops to meet it, and I also have such worries."

Kulos: "I understand the good intentions of Captain Srod, so what can our military doctor do to deal with this? I specially dispatched an excellent military doctor from the headquarters to come back to help you first. Can you arrive?

Srod: "Yes, this group of military doctors have arrived in part of my team early in the morning. More than that, I have also been helped by Watson, the famous magic doctor of the kingdom."

William: "The magic doctor Watson. I remember that he is a great doctor who is very famous among the people, but there has been no news about him in the past ten years. It's really great to come to help us now.

But when Kulos saw that Srod's still sad face, he knew that the situation was still not optimistic: "With the magic doctor Watson, can't you do anything about this epidemic?"

Srod: "Yes, with the joint efforts of so many excellent doctors, there is still nothing we can do about this epidemic. These doctors still say that this is an unprecedented epidemic caused by a rare virus, so there is no relevant specific drug that can be cured. This epidemic is destructive and easy to be infected. Once the patient is infected, the early symptoms are indeed only a general mild fever disease, and it lasts for a period of time. For our strong soldiers, many people will not even notice it. This is the reason why a large number of infected people suddenly break out. . Then, very soon, usually in two to three days, the condition will deteriorate sharply, the disease will soon spread, the skin of the whole body will become black and ulcerate, and then die of life exhaustion.

The previous content has been very shocking. Now that you hear the terrible death of the epidemic, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, the major generals will be shocked by a cold sweat.

William: "There is no sign of contracting this epidemic, and it is a contagious epidemic. It's really too dangerous. Now half of the soldiers of the third squad are infected with such a disease... Will they all..."

Srod: "At present, there is indeed no cure. What we can do is to treat the lives of patients as properly as possible, but always... At present, in order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, I listened to the advice of the magic doctor Watson and isolated the patients, and then, for the The people who died of illness had to be cremated... and their belongings should also be burned in order to reduce the spread of viruses as much as possible.

It turned out that the wisp of black smoke that was rising now was that those dead soldiers were being cremated. Watching the soldiers of their regiment die, everyone sighed with emotion. As everyone who has passed away wants to have their own place to bury their bones, it is really regrettable and sad that these soldiers fighting for the kingdom have to turn into the dust of the world and even keep the things they miss.

Srod: "So, after the cavalry reported the news that the headquarters of the legion commander's unit returned here today, I came with a few subordinates to tell the legion commander not to let the headquarters troops approach some of my team now and avoid the spread of the epidemic as much as possible."

Kulos: "Captain Srod's intention is really hard, but now there are so many soldiers in danger of life and death, how can we abandon them and ignore them? What's more, now that they are on the battlefield and will be attacked by war at any time, and they need more I want people to protect it, so I decided to let the troops of the headquarters be stationed nearby to protect and support the third detachment. However, we can never despise this serious epidemic and do a good job of prevention and control as much as possible, and then we will discuss it in the long term.

Therefore, the headquarters army of the Blue Dragon Knights was stationed outside the outer suburbs of Karad City, keeping a safe distance from the third detachment.

In view of the seriousness of the matter, the major generals of the Blue Dragon Knights held another emergency meeting to focus on the future action policy.

William made a preliminary report at the meeting: "According to the report of Captain Srod, at present, the rebels in the city of Karad have now been forced to retreat to the last defensive wall in the city of Karad. Judging from the situation, the other side has no intention to counterattack for the time being. For another rebel army, which is our important target this time, the troops of the Lion Heart Regiment, although there has been a lot of information indicating that they have returned to deep into Karad's territory together, the specific location remains to be investigated. The latest round of intelligence about the Lion Heart Regiment is that a few days ago, the bow cavalry troops of the Lion Heart Regiment attacked our military and merchant regiment and looted most of the materials of the military merchant regiment, and the personnel of the military merchant regiment were also eliminated.

Alec, the captain of the second detachment, first said, "Although I don't like this military business group, and this time it was attacked without saying goodbye, but it's really puzzling that the Lion Heart Regiment would destroy this irregular combat force so cruelly."

Srod, who was at the meeting, also said, "I also find it strange, because it is inferred from the surface traces on the battlefield that the cavalry of the Lion Heart Regiment are only busy carrying supplies, and the real main battle area is carried out on another distant battlefield."

Lesak, the captain of the first detachment, can see through: "That is, it is a pinch attack. After seeing the weaknesses of these military and commercial regiments, on the one hand, it ensures that these materials will not be damaged by the battle, and on the other hand, it is indeed a very clear tactic to form a better siege and killing of the fleeing mercenary troops. But I also agree that this is not like the usual practice of Lion Hearts.

As the commander of the army, Klos, he concluded: "Well, anyway, what we can agree with at present is that the Lion Heart Group is currently materially tight. Then, from the perspective of the other party's action, I believe that it will soon reappear and fight with us again."

There are all kinds of signs that the Lion Heart Group is taking an active stance. It seems that it is indeed ready to continue the last unfinished decisive battle.

The discussion about the battlefield was soon replaced by the following content, that is, the discussion of the epidemic that suddenly appeared and caused great damage to our troops.

William: "Sure enough, this epidemic was the first to appear on the side of the rebels."

As Kulos guessed, there is a reason why the star cluster was captured so easily.

Srod: "Yes, according to the prisoners of war and the residents of Karad City, this epidemic was the first to cause such a wide range of diseases because the water was polluted."

"Do you know the details of the pollution of this water source?" Kulos seems to be puzzled about this matter.

Srod: "At present, according to the intelligence of prisoners of war and the people, it is not clear whether this pollution was caused by the war or man-made, but it did disintegrate the fighting power of the rebels. At that time, I thought that the other party was accidentally attacked by us. Unexpectedly, my victory this time pushed my soldiers into the epidemic area and infected them with this terrible epidemic.

For the disaster of the three brothers, in order to avoid the public's panic, the Star Group hid this information in this regard, so the people and many soldiers did not know the real cause of the matter, so the Blue Dragon Knights could not ask the real reason.

Alec: "Captain Srod, according to your report, Watson, the magic doctor who came to help us this time, was originally from the Lion Heart Group, can't you ask anything from his mouth?"

Srod: "Although the magic doctor Watson is a member of the Lion Heart Group, he has not done anything against the doctor's morality. In order to save these infected people, he gave up the opportunity to retreat with the other party and stayed wholeheartedly. As the enemy's non-combatants, we also You should not treat each other in a too tough way.

Kulos: "Captain Srod is right. We, the Green Dragon Knights, the glorious legion of the kingdom, can't do anything that has damaged the honor of the kingdom."

Alec apologized and said, "Yes, Commander of the Legion, I'm really extreme. However, now, our team has no cure for this epidemic, and we don't even understand the reason. If it goes on like this, the situation is really unfavorable.

William: "Yes, Commander Legion, maybe we should evacuate first?"

Kulos thought for a moment, and then replied, "No, now we still have the sacred mission of the kingdom. Now we are only one step away from victory, so we can't give up so easily. Moreover, the bodies of these infected people are not suitable to move at all, and we can't bring such a terrible epidemic to other places. At present, we still try our best to find a feasible treatment here before discussing it. Deputy Leader William, during this period, you should investigate all the information about this epidemic. I want to know the relationship between all this.

"Is the leader of the legion more inclined to think that this is man-made?" Several suspicious people came to William's mind.

Kulus: "Before the matter was settled, everything was still speculation. Now that we are in an extremely unfavorable situation, we must be cautious."

William: "Yes, Commander, I will try my best to investigate."

......

After that, the meeting was disbanded and the generals left, but everyone who went outside felt more and more sad when they saw the flame still burning in the distance.

The flame-burning black smoke gathered over the area of Karad City. This dark cloud full of the breath of death shrouded the whole earth in darkness.
