The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 49



Less than a third of the Bastille soldiers who followed Eriksson the Bull surrendered, and more of them fled. Most of these people had ghosts in their hearts. They had once harmed the Andes mountain people and were afraid of being retaliated. They had seen it with their own eyes. The miserable appearance of falling into the hands of the Andes mountain people, they would rather flee into the mountains than be captured.

Their fate is not much better. Even if Sean does not send troops to chase them down, without supplies, it will be difficult for them to persist in the mountains for too long, not only because of the problem of survivability, but also because there is Mount Andes The world of the people.

On the issue of treating the captives, there were still disagreements among them. Among them, the Andes mountain people headed by Skull Crusher McGee insisted on killing them all.

In McKee's words, there is no soldier from the Bastille whose hands are not stained with the blood of the Andes. There is no need for trial, and it is absolutely not wrong to kill one when they see one.

As for the oath that McGee made on the top of the city, it was just a fart. If the oath could curse a slave hunter to death, McGee would definitely take the oath for food, even if he fell into hell forever in the future.

This point of view is also very popular among the youth army. Most of these people have suffered from the scourge of slave hunters, and some even have the hatred of exterminating their clans and villages.

Those headed by Marshall did not advocate killing to solve the problem. The Bastille battle had temporarily come to an end, and the culprit, Old Bolton, had also paid the price, so there was no need for unnecessary bloodshed.

Now that their manpower is scarce, instead of killing them like this, it is better to keep them and create greater value. Knight-level strong labor is a scarce resource.

After repeated discussions and disputes, in the end the youth army headed by Marshall, with the support of Xiao En, took the upper hand temporarily and detained these soldiers under strict supervision.

To deal with the battlefield, the Youth Army has formed its own routine. It gathers all the corpses into two corpse pits and buries them. Those who have had direct contact with the corpses must burn their clothes on the spot. Armor weapons also need to be specially inspected. Soaking and disinfection can be put into storage.

No one is sloppy about epidemic prevention, especially after learning from the bull Eriksson that there is a big trouble behind them-a group of knights carrying the epidemic, and they are facing enemies from top to bottom. Several leaders of the army formulated corresponding epidemic prevention regulations overnight.

In addition to the rigid regulations prohibiting drinking cold water, frequent bathing, and frequent changing of clothes for disinfection and cleaning, corresponding regulations have been made on the isolation and investigation of suspected infected persons.

Prevention is only a short-term solution. We must completely eradicate it from the root. We simply assemble a team of centuries, shoot them directly from a long distance, and bury them on the spot. It will be over once and for all. Ralph suggested.

After the night attack, his performance was remarkable. Sean used it very smoothly, and he became a member of the inner circle of the Boys Army without knowing it. For any important decision, Sean would send someone to call him over, and focus on training The meaning is very obvious.

As a grassroots team formed by Sean's personal influence, the Boys' Army does not have a formal position or title internally, and its status depends entirely on its relationship with Sean.

This situation should not last for too long. Xiao En has intentionally or unintentionally revealed his intention to adapt the Boys Army, but only lacks a suitable opportunity.

To put it bluntly, if it were really that simple, Eriksson the Bull would have done it a long time ago. Didn't you see his frightened expression when he talked about the epidemic? It wasn't a disguise, but it came from the heart. He was not forced to surrender by us, but was frightened by the plague that followed behind him! That is a dozen or so regular knights led by a great knight. Have you thought about what kind of disaster will be caused if you completely anger them? Sexual consequences?

The disagreement between Marshall and Ralph refers to the huge difference in their behavioral styles and values. Even if they are tit for tat, there is a strong basis for them, and they will never mess around. This is Sean's bottom line.

It's okay to fight, it's an aboveboard, healthy competition with incentives, if it's intrigue, harming others and benefiting oneself, once discovered, no matter who is right or wrong between the two, they will be completely marginalized.

In Xiao En's original words, if a person's heart is crooked, even if it is corrected, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not continue to grow crooked in the future. He is not a doctor and nanny, and he has no need or energy to correct it for them.

The epidemic is terrible, but it's really unbelievable that Eriksson the Bull, a man of iron and blood, should be frightened like this.

McGee the Skull Crusher smacked his lips with a regretful expression. Although the destruction of the Bastille was an exciting and glorious event, for him personally, there were two major regrets.

The first regret, of course, is to let the old Bolton, who had caused disasters in the Andes Mountains for more than 30 years, set himself on fire and die. Crushing his head with his own hands has always been his pursuit and dream.

The second regret is that he and his general armor failed to shine on the battlefield. The bull Eriksson, who was originally his biggest opponent, was bluffed by himself. More than half of it was gone, and it was another general, and McGee couldn't pull himself off to compete with the opponent.

Everyone has their own fears. Some people are born afraid of heights, some people are born afraid of insects, some people are born afraid of snakes and mice, and some people are born afraid of disease. Are you not afraid? If you are not afraid, we don’t need to sit here.”

Sean said it handsomely, but his tone was very serious.

There was a great plague in Eriksson's hometown back then. There were no people and animals in a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Eriksson's tribe was in the hardest hit area. He was the only one left to breathe in the whole tribe. Yes, can you imagine what it was like?

I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. Marshall took the initiative to admit his mistake.

I didn't say anything. Skull Crusher McGee mumbled with a black face, he couldn't pull his face down as easily as Marshall, Okay, I won't say anything in the future.

Although Eriksson is our captive, we are not slave owners, and we cannot treat them like slaves. The minimum respect must be preserved.

Sean paused, then continued.

The issue of captive surrender is not within the scope of today's discussion, so I won't say more. We must deal with the knights carrying the disease carefully. I think the safest way is to try to communicate with them and find the source of the disease. , to eradicate their diseases.”

This is really a good way to cure the root cause.

Marshall nodded in agreement.

If you really find the source of the disease, things will be much simpler. Not only can you clear up the disasters that are right in front of you, but you can also clear out their camp. After all, their temporary camp is next to the ancient Jacob River. If there It is also designated as a restricted area for epidemics, and it will be a big trouble for us to go in and out. But will the other party cooperate with us?

Do they have a better choice? Even if we let go of the Bastille, what if they pass by? Can they insist on seeking medical treatment in the capital three hundred kilometers away? The noble lords along the way will allow them to carry the disease in their own Walking through the territory? Even if they reach the capital, can they be sure that they can enter the city? Can they find the doctor who rescued them?

Xiao En's series of questions made it impossible for everyone to refute. As long as their identity as disease carriers spread, they would be unable to move forward. As long as the local noble lords were not fools, they would never be allowed to walk freely in their own territory.

The most important question is how to find the source of the disease?

Ralph raised the most critical question.

We used to deal with minor illnesses and disasters, especially external injuries. We always hide as far away as possible from epidemics, and we have never touched them. Now contacting them rashly, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!

In the past, you were asked to hide as far away from the epidemic as possible, in addition to ability issues, and because there was room for detours, but now it is no longer possible, unless you want to go back to nesting in the mountains like before, as long as you get out of the mountains, as long as we want to To be big, the epidemic will be a problem we have to face, but sooner or later, and the more people gather, the more likely it will appear.

Xiao En's eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, Are you willing to go back? If you are willing, just ignore my proposal.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, what a joke, the situation in front of them is very good, nearly two thousand armored soldiers, three or four thousand auxiliary soldiers, no matter where they are placed, they are not a small force, and the supplies are also considered abundant, many The blood in people's hearts is tumbling, and if they want to make a more brilliant career, how can they break up.

The inner fort that Old Bolton ignited was an empty fort, and most of the materials inside had been emptied long ago, especially grain and grass, which was the most important thing. In this world, every grain is extremely precious , Sean was reluctant to waste a grain.

Seeming to have anticipated their reaction, Sean continued to analyze: So, now is a good opportunity, firstly, the scale is small and easy to control, and secondly, their epidemic looks extremely ferocious, but there are actually traces to follow.

Skull Crusher McKee twisted his huge body back and forth in boredom. He basically couldn't talk about such non-combat topics, but he had to participate in such high-level meetings.

After all, he represented the Skull Crusher Legion, and the soldiers below couldn't tell the nature of the meeting. If he didn't come to participate, he would be mistaken for being squeezed out, and would have ideas that were not conducive to unity.

But every time I attend this kind of meeting, it is a kind of torment. Seeing an opportunity, I immediately start to use my presence, So, you have found a cure?

In the mountains, Xiao En is most famous for his medical skills. Although he always thought that his medical skills were in the category of barefoot doctors, he could solve some common diseases and treat them with a few effective herbal prescriptions. Treat various injuries.

As for those intractable diseases and internal injuries, there is basically nothing to do, but in the eyes of the mountain people, he is already a great miracle doctor.

If someone said that he had found a cure for the disease, McGee would definitely slap him first, and if Sean said he had found it, he would definitely believe it.
