Chapter 959: spread

Popular recommendation:

A suspected plague broke out among the relief teams from King's Landing.

And as the commander of this army, the imperial prince Heros Targaryen decisively adopted the means of thunder.

Through bans, isolation and other methods, all the sick patients were identified as soon as possible, and then they were imprisoned together, finally suppressing this potential crisis.

However, in the outside world, this crisis is quietly spreading on this land with the raging flood.

...

As the capital of the Hejian Land, the Twin River City is built on the estuary of the Green Fork River. To go around a hundred miles.

And the Frey family, who had spent several generations building up the Twins City, relied on this, quickly accumulated a lot of wealth, and became the most powerful vassal under the Tully family at that time. An army of four thousand rose up.

However, after Viserys counterattacked the Seven Kingdoms, the family in the land of Westeros had undergone earth-shaking changes and had undergone a major reshuffle of power.

The ancient houses that once ruled the Seven Kingdoms have all changed masters, except that Stark still rules the North, House Martell rules Dorne, and Greyjoyin rules the Iron Islands.

The Tully family was deprived of the title of monarch and became an ordinary earl, while the Bracken family became the governor of the riverlands because of their success in standing in line, and was awarded the twin city. The efforts of the Frey family for generations, It is really embarrassing that the Bracken family has finally picked the fruit.

However, in the recent torrential rain, the Twin Rivers City was also hit by floods.

The continuous heavy rain in the riverlands caused the water level of the Green Fork River to skyrocket, jeopardizing the safety of the Twins City. Therefore, the Brecon family members were forced to temporarily withdraw from the Twins City and went to the surrounding hillsides. take refuge.

But then along with the recent rainstorm gradually stopped and turned into light rain, after the Green Fork River went through a flood discharge, the water level dropped a lot. Life is not easy, not enough to eat and not warm.

But at this time, the eldest prince Helos Targaryen, who came from King's Landing, led an army to the riverlands to relieve the disaster.

Therefore, as the host, Hendry Bracken, the Governor of the Riverlands, naturally needed to pick him up, and he set off for the town of Salt Fields in the Trident River Basin, which was the most severely affected.

And the guards of the Bracken family escorted Mrs. Carillin and the young master back to the Twins City.

The Twins City has been soaked in water for a period of time. Although the castle is relatively strong, there is no serious problem, but the walls are still severely corroded.

After the water receded, the ground and the flooded walls were covered with moss, and the rooms on the ground floor were also flooded. Human corpses have been soaked in water for many days, highly decomposed, the air is filled with a fishy smell, flies and mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

But even so, living in a warm stone house is better than living in the wind and rain on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, as Hendry's wife, Mrs. Carillin had to pull her two sons, pinching her nose and holding back the disgusting meaning, living in the Twins City, and found a room on the second floor without flooded room.

"Cough-cough-"

However, not long after returning to the Twins City, who knew that the house leak happened overnight rain, but Hendry Bracken's eldest son, Rosso Bracken, suddenly fell ill at this time.

At first the boy just had a loss of appetite and was lazy and lethargic, but at that time everyone was busy cleaning up the castle and no one noticed.

Rosso Bracken's condition then turned into a violent cough and pale face, and it was only then that the boy's condition attracted attention.

Mrs. Carriline hurriedly called the bachelor to see a doctor for her son. At first, the old bachelor thought it was a cold, so he boiled some medicinal soup for the boy to drink, but to no avail, Rosso Bracken's condition became worse .

But at this time, Mrs. Carillin suddenly developed the same symptoms as the boy, and began to cough violently, and even had a high fever.

In today's era of backward medical conditions, getting sick is a very terrible curse. Even high officials and nobles, princes and nobles are likely to die if they accidentally get sick. Therefore, the wife and the young master get sick at the same time, and the Twin Rivers City naturally panics.

Then a letter from the Twins was delivered to Earl Hendry Bracken, far away in the town of Saltworks.

At first, although Hendry was anxious when he first received the letter, he did not associate the illness of his wife and son with the plague until this happened...

On the surface, Governor Brecon Jr tried to keep his composure~www.NovelMTL.com~, but in fact, he was already in a state of anxiety, so he was inexplicably distracted.

Especially seeing the scorched wreckage, I don't know whether it was because of guilty conscience or other reasons, my heart was beating so fast that when His Royal Highness asked him a question, he didn't respond for a while.

Hendry certainly knew the horror of the plague. Once the plague spread, a considerable number of people who were infected would die if they couldn't survive, and the plague spread very widely.

However, Hendry knew the horror of the plague, but he knew more about the way people dealt with it.

So when he found out that his wife and son might have contracted the disease, his first thought was to hide it.

When Helos Targaryen asked him if he had heard of similar cases elsewhere, he quickly shook his head and denied it, because he didn't want his wife and son to be burned alive.

Hendry still had a certain fluke mentality in his heart, in case Carillyn and Rosso got not the plague, or recovered under the treatment of the bachelor.

After all, the plague is not a 100% mortality rate, and many people can survive after getting sick.

Therefore, when facing Helos, Hendry finally chose to lie for his wife and son.

However, Hendry chose to lie and kept his mouth shut, but the plague did not stop because of this, but continued to spread silently.

The army under the eldest prince Helos had been closed for a period of time, and finally no new patients appeared.

Then when they opened the door and walked out, they found that the outside world had undergone tremendous changes.
