Chapter 258 The actions of natural disasters

Just as the Golden Company was discussing how to deal with the plague, about one league south of the Golden Company's station, a team was slowly approaching the Golden Company.

The composition of this team is somewhat complicated. Judging from the clothes of most of them, they are not soldiers. There are farmers, doctors, and slaves. There are hundreds of oxcarts in the middle of the team, all of which are piled with various kinds of people. The medicinal materials were planted, led by some monks and priests wearing religious robes. However, judging from the badges on these monks and priests and the holy emblems of faith on the flags held high, it did not seem to be any of the popular church beliefs in the Free Trade City.

At this time, a rider dressed as a warrior rode over from the direction of the Golden Company, dismounted and saluted in front of the leading priest, and then quickly reported: "Lord Malphas, the Golden Company has discovered us and is gathering its troops at the station."

The person leading this team is none other than Malfas, the current chief priest of the God of Scourge. He was originally supposed to help build the temple of the God of Scourge in Miracle Port. When he learned that a plague was breaking out in the disputed land, he felt that this was It was a good opportunity to develop the belief in the god of natural disasters, so he reported his idea to Linde.

Linde quickly agreed to his plan and gave him the greatest support. Not only did he prepare enough medicine and food for him, he also divided thousands of people for him, and among these thousands of people there were also his past Specialized in training doctors to deal with plague and the special medicine artemisinin produced in the black cave.

In order to expand his influence, after Malphas led his people to the disputed land, he divided his team into three. The other two teams were led by priests and sent to the military camps of Lys and Tyrosh respectively, and he personally led them. People come to Myr's camp.

"Stop!" Malphas ordered loudly, and the team slowly stopped while the order was being passed on.

Afterwards, Mafas ordered the accompanying priests around him: "Perform the sacraments and let the God of Natural Disasters bless them to avoid being harmed by the plague."

After hearing the order, the accompanying priest asked the attendant to hold high the holy emblem flag of the God of Natural Disasters, light the incense burner on his waist, hold it in his hand, and asked the attendant to take out the blessed holy bread and put it on the plate, while reciting a prayer loudly, While walking through the crowd.

The believers also stopped what they were doing, recited prayers silently with the priest, and then received a small piece of holy bread mixed with medicine from the attendant and ate it.

At the same time, Mafas led a few people, mounted their horses, and walked towards the direction of the Golden Group. Soon they came to the team where the Golden Group was gathering, and saw the leader of the Golden Group, Misto, in front of the team. because.

Mafas signaled the people around him to stop, then rode his horse to Mis Toyin, saluted Mis Toyin, and said: "Long time no see, Captain Mis Toyin."

Malfas did not choose the Golden Company as a missionary site randomly. As the second son of the family, he had traveled abroad for a period of time and worked as a mercenary in the Golden Company for a period of time. Later, Kohor hired the Golden Company. When working, he also serves as a liaison officer and has a good relationship with the Golden Group.

"Lord Malphas?" Mis Toyin also quickly recognized the person.

The other generals of the Golden Regiment also recognized the identity of the person one after another and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Malphas, now..." Mis Toyin looked at Malphas's clothes and couldn't help but hesitate.

"I am now the chief high priest of the God of Natural Disasters," Malphas quickly answered Mistoyin's doubts, and then informed everyone of their purpose, saying: "The reason why I came here is because I was influenced by Inspired by the Lord, I came here to solve this plague disaster. There are doctors and believers in the team behind me. They will specially take care of patients infected with the plague. In addition, I have brought enough medicine, which should be able to cure everyone. "

After hearing Mafas' words, everyone present was stunned. Most of them had never heard of the God of Natural Disasters. Only a few people who cared about the situation in the Free Trade City knew the origin of the God of Natural Disasters.

"Are you sent by Lord Linde?" Mis Toyin asked in a deep voice.

Mafas nodded and said: "It was my Lord's inspiration. The Prophet also agreed to my request. Most of the medicinal materials and doctors in the team were arranged by the Prophet."

Mistoyin didn't know what to say for a while. He felt that it was not a good place to talk in front of the camp, so he welcomed Mafas into the camp. At the same time, he signaled his men to send someone to Mafas' team to check whether It is true that they are all doctors and believers as Mafas said.

At the same time, the same thing happened outside the camps of Lys and Tyrosh. The priests sent by Malphas to these two places were in similar situations to him. They had all been in the Wind Blowing Group and the Cat Group. After a while, the relationship with the mercenary group was good.

When the three major city-states were unable to avoid the plague-infected mercenary groups and the Unsullied, only the believers and priests of the Temple of the God of Natural Disaster in the Summer Hall came to the disputed area and brought a large number of doctors and medicines. , to treat those suffering from the plague.

I don’t know if the God of Natural Disasters is really blessing the disputed land and clearing away the plague. In short, after the God of Natural Disasters entered the disputed land, the plague stopped spreading, and under the treatment of the believers of the God of Natural Disasters, many people People who were already dying were saved, and a plague that terrified the entire Free Trade City subsided in just one and a half months.

Everyone discovered that before the Temple of the God of Natural Disasters entered the disputed land, hundreds of people died and hundreds of people were infected by the plague every day. However, after the God of Natural Disasters entered the disputed land, only one or two people died every day. , and the number of people infected by the plague also increased to more than a dozen, and even after half a month, no one was infected with the plague again.

Everyone thought that the power of the God of Natural Disasters was at work. No one thought that the medicine was at work, because they could see that the medicines used by the monks and believers of the God of Natural Disasters were no different from the medicines sent by the three previous city-states. At that time, these drugs had no effect at all, but the same drugs were able to work wonders in the hands of monks and believers of the God of Natural Disasters. The only explanation could only be the blessing of the God of Natural Disasters.

All the people who were rescued from the plague became devout believers of the God of Natural Disasters under the influence of the terror of life and death. And because none of the people who believed in the God of Natural Disasters were infected with the plague, many people thought that they believed in the God of Natural Disasters. God can avoid the plague, which in turn makes more and more people begin to believe in the God of natural disasters.

When the plague ended, whether they were the Unsullied or the mercenary group, whether they were infected with the plague or never got sick, in short, almost all the people in the disputed land became devout believers of the God of Disaster, and At the suggestion of the Cat Group, they discussed plans to occupy the gem mine and its surrounding areas and build a sacred city belonging to natural disasters.

Neither the Fengchui Group nor the Golden Group took a stand on this proposal, but it can be seen from the behavior of them leading people out of the gem mine that they will not stop this.

After the news of occupying the gem mines and building the holy city spread to the three major city-states, the dignitaries of the three major city-states naturally did not allow it, but they did not allow it and had no choice.

Because although many people died from the plague, there were still many people who survived, and these people were all warriors who were proficient in fighting. The Wind Blowing Group and the Golden Group made it clear that they would not accept employment to deal with the rebellious Cat Group and The unsullied.

With the current defensive strength of the three major city-states, let alone dealing with these Unsullied and mercenaries, it is too difficult to protect themselves. In the end, the three major city-states can only acquiesce to these people's occupation of the gem mines and surrounding areas.

However, before the farce in the disputed land completely subsided, Volantis, who had been preparing for a long time, felt that the time was ripe and began to take action.

It took less than four days from the discovery of Volantis' fleet in the waters near Lys to the time when Lys was besieged and surrendered.

The one who moved faster than Volantis was Lind. When the news of Lys's surrender to Volantis reached Tyrosh, Tyrosh did not want to send people to rescue Lys, but directly convened a council, and The proposal to submit to Lind, Lord of Summer Hall, was passed at the council.

When this proposal was passed and publicity began throughout the city, although there were some minor fluctuations, they were quickly resolved by the Sheriff who had surrendered to Linde in advance. It only took less than half a day for the entire Tyrosh to be successfully replaced by Linde. Accepted it, and the then Lord Tyrosh also died of a heart attack after hearing the relevant news from his subordinates.

After Tyrosh was captured by Lind, the Miracle Fleet sent by Lind in advance also entered the Myr Sea and docked outside the Mir Pier. Sea Dragon Gluttons cruised near the dock.

Myr also immediately blocked the Miracle Fleet at Myr's dock. Both sides built protective walls around the streets and houses to prevent the other party from attacking.

At the same time, the army of believers of the God of Scourge, who was supposed to build the Holy City in the disputed area, also came to the outside of Myr City under the leadership of High Priest Malfas. Their team had complete siege equipment. At this moment, The Wind Blowing Group and the Golden Group have left the disputed land and went to Volantis to repair.

At this moment, there are no more than 3,000 combatants available in the city of Myr, and more than half of these 3,000 people are temporarily hired mercenaries. The most notorious among these mercenaries is the Second Sons, Myr's situation is very bad.

On the night when the disciples of the God of Scourge arrived outside the city of Myr, Governor Edmonton, who was assembling a fleet and recruiting manpower at the dock, secretly met with two people, one was the new trade governor Fenia, and the other was the administrative governor Gai. Lorac, the tribune and governor-general who was a close associate of Mon Belerys.

If any Myr people see these two people appearing at the same time and acting as if they have a good relationship, they will definitely be surprised, because everyone knows that Fenia, who became the new trade governor by virtue of being a senior member of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, and the administrative governor Everyone in Gaimon's family has a very bad relationship, and Lorak is naturally among them.

This is mainly because Gaimon seemed to use Fenia as a pawn to attack his political opponents and almost ruined Fenia's reputation. The hatred between the two was thus forged.

Now Fenya is getting together with Lorak, Gaimon's close friend. This sight is really weird.

However, Governor Edmonton seemed to be used to this kind of scene. After seeing the two of them, he asked very directly: "Do the conditions mentioned before still count?"

"Of course it counts." Lorak nodded, looked at the somewhat uneasy Governor Edmonton, and said: "Master Edmonton, you don't have to worry about Master Linde breaking his promise. Just look at Governor Fenia! She is The best proof that Lord Linde keeps his promise.”

Fenia, who already understood Wenstein's true identity, also cooperated and said: "Lord Imonton, I believe you have seen the news I sent to you before. You should already know what their attitude is towards you. You Do you think you have a way out? You lost to the Miracle Fleet in this battle. Myr will fall and you will lose your status as governor. But if a miracle occurs and you defeat the Miracle Fleet, they will definitely not let your reputation increase. You continue to live, even if you give up everything, they will not let you go, so you can only choose to cooperate with us now. "

Imonton was silent for a moment, turned to look at Lorak, and asked: "I can understand that Fenia will seek refuge in Summer Hall. After all, it was Lind Terra who saved her, and everything she has now is also Lind." ·Given by Terra, but what about you? Lorak has been a powerful man in Myr since he was born, and became a tribune in adulthood, and later became a governor. I still remember your speech in the Garden Square, people said Your love for Myr is unrivaled. Logically speaking, you should not betray Myr and instead seek refuge with Lynd Terra. Why do you..."

"Betrayal?" Lorak smiled and said, "Why do you, Lord Edmonton, think that I betrayed Myr?"

"Isn't your current behavior betrayal?" Imonton frowned and said.

"Of course not, I am saving Myr." Lorak said solemnly: "Myr is now hopelessly decayed. Everyone is fighting endlessly for rights. There is constant internal strife. Those who really do things are being destroyed. The ruling environment of a city-state should not be like this. This is abnormal and needs to be corrected. "

Edmonton said solemnly: "So you think Lind Terra can correct the ruling environment in Mir?"

Lorak shook his head and said: "No, Lord Linde is not interested in changing Mir at all. He only needs to control Mir in his hands, even if Mir is just a ruin."

Immonton was puzzled: "If that's the case, then why did you seek refuge with Lind Terra?"

Lorak smiled and said: "Because I can change Myr, and Lord Lind is willing to let me do it."

As soon as Lorak finished speaking, Fenia pointed to the three people in the room and said: "In the future, there will be no Governor's Council in Myr. There will only be the power of three governors, and the three of us are the first batch of three governors." Governor."

After hearing this, Imonton pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I am willing to obey Lord Linde's instructions."

Hearing Imonton's words, Lorak and Fenia looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
