Chapter 224 Rescue

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
After learning that His Highness had a way to cure the evil epidemic, Tassa's anxiety finally calmed down.

And once you have something to be busy, the next few days seem to be much faster.

In addition to visiting the winery in the suburbs and formulating a convoy route, he also remembered the terrain from the canal pier to the city gate.

Now it is much trouble to enter the royal city. Because of the refugees outside the city, the gates of the royal city have been closed and outsiders are prohibited from entering, especially after knowing that the church is distributing holy medicines, desperate people are rushing to the city gate every day, hoping to go to the church to seek treatment. The guards on the city wall responded with crossbows without hesitation. Now there are many corpses piled up at the city gate, which smells unpleasant under the scorching sun.

The only open side door is only for nobles and merchants who transport food through the pass. Fortunately, Tassa has served in the patrol for a long time and is a native of the royal city. Most of the guards on duty know him, so he just needs to say hello when entering and leaving.

It is precisely because of this that the contact between inside and outside the city has been almost interrupted. Even if the fugitives are transported at the dock, it is difficult for the news to spread to the city. What's more, for the upper nobles, they hope that someone will take away all the refugees in the East that may detonate at any time, and they will also have to concentrate patrols to suppress the riots.

Tassa probably understood His Highness’s mood to decide to set off the day he received the letter. These people had been abandoned by the king. If the church sent priests out of the city to distribute holy medicine at this time, most of the fugitives would probably become devout believers.

If His Highness could snatch these people before the church and bring them a new life and a place of peace, there would be no doubt that they would become His Highness's fanatical supporters.

On the morning of the fourth day, the return fleet arrived at the canal dock on time. Tassa was surprised to find that the number of First Army soldiers sent by His Highness was as many as 300, and they were basically equipped with revolver rifles.

With this powerful team as a guarantee, even if the church knows the news, it is probably impossible to stop the fugitives from leaving.

lightning!Margaret, who was also waiting at the pier, couldn't wait to walk up and hug her when she saw the little girl.

Is this person…?Iron Axe asked.

Ms. Margaret, the owner of the Royal City Chamber of Commerce.Tassa introduced that all the ships needed for this delivery were contacted and provided by her, and she made a lot of efforts to implement the plan.

So that's it. Tie Axe nodded to her and said, thank you for your help.

I will deduct this fee from His Highness, she shrugged, and thanked Lightning rather than thanking me.

Lightning tilted his head, why?

Cough, nothing, Tassa coughed twice, what do you plan to do next?

Set up a camp in the south of the pier, and at the same time control the pier area, and rescue will be launched in the afternoon.Iron Axe said, "If you say the ship, please give me yours."

*******************

Brian couldn't help frowning as he led his men into the refugee area.

There were dying patients everywhere, and black blood and pus flowed out of the cracked skin of their bodies, causing flies to swarm, but they didn't even have the strength to drive them away, allowing these flying insects to crawl around on their bodies and lick their blood.

He couldn't help but remember when the Demon Moon, the people in the Border Town were trapped in the fortress slums, and they were also so powerless in the face of hunger and cold erosion.

If this is truly a church's deed, it is simply an unforgivable sin.

First gather the still-active ones, Brian said, "It's up to you, Miss Echo."

It will cause a sensation if they rashly promote in the crowd that they have drugs that can cure the disease. At that time, the crowd will all emerge in the dock area, and they can't suppress it by relying on their own dozens of people.

Therefore, the notification must be carried out in batches. His Highness arranged the echoes to accompany him to consider this point. Her ability can specify that the sound can be sounded in a certain area or in someone's ear.

Brian only saw her opening her mouth, without making any sound, and someone from the escaped people had already looked over.

Soon, a group of people stumbled over and ran over. Sir, are you all saying true?As long as this disease can be cured, I am willing to go to the Western Region with you!

It was done, Brian was delighted. Of course, our boat had already stopped in the dock area. Take your family and come with me!

Other soldiers also stepped forward to help lift the patient who was unable to move on the ground. The team instantly expanded to hundreds of people and walked towards the canal pier.

Many people noticed this scene and rushed over.

Back at the dock, the First Army soldiers had placed the bag of purified water on a long table, and the entrance of the trestle bridge was led by Iron Axe, and only two people were allowed to pass at a time to ensure that all the boarders drank the purified water.

Listen, these water bags contain medicine for curing diseases. As long as you drink it, you will be cured immediately.A platform was also set up next to the long table, with famous soldiers standing on it, constantly preaching His Highness's manuscript. The so-called evil epidemic in the church was caused by witches. Only holy medicine can be eliminated is nonsense. They just want to earn more coins, and they also want to kneel down and thank you for your life-saving grace.His Highness Roland not only brought the potion, but also did not charge any fees!That's right, no bronze eagle is needed!

These words caused a stir in the crowd, and the first person to drink purified water quickly felt the changes in his body.

He pulled his clothes open in disbelief and watched the dark spots fade away quickly. This medicine is really effective!I'm OK, I'm OK!

So, I am, the gods are above, and the wounds are no longer bleeding!

God?Where is it?I only saw one group of liars!

That's right, this medicine has nothing to do with the church!

Long live His Highness Roland!

As more people recovered, everyone's reaction became more and more excited. If the First Army soldiers were not controlling the order, they would be afraid that the long table with water bags would be immediately washed away by the fugitives.

Now His Highness Roland is opening up the Western Region, and it requires a large number of people to cultivate fields, build houses, and build roads... He does not charge the fee for potions, nor does he force you to go to the Western Region. The soldiers in charge of propaganda continue to whisper, but His Highness promised that as long as he is willing to go to the Western Region and serve him, he will receive food, shelter and salary!No matter what your expertise is, you can get a matching job!Those who are willing, take a step forward and follow the mercenaries on board and head to the new home!It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. Ask us here to leave after three days. The food for these three days is also provided by the caravan for free!

Is there really a residence and a salary?Someone asked loudly.

Of course, this is the condition that His Highness Roland said in person!The soldier nodded and responded.

Please let me get on the boat, I am willing to serve Your Highness!

Me too!

And me, sir!

I am a blacksmith!

……

Brian was delighted to see that none of the hundreds of people in this group chose to stay in the capital, but they all boarded the sailboats to the west.

A ship set off immediately after full load, and the subsequent empty ships followed one after another, without any pause under Margaret's command.

Next, Brian kept traveling back and forth between refugee camps and docks, relying on echo sounding techniques to attract batches of fleeing people from the East, and each time he controlled the number to three or four hundred.

Just as he returned to the dock with a team of newly recruited patients, he suddenly saw the first army stationed in the wheat fields in the south taking action.

A small team rushed towards the north bank of the canal, and the gun behind it was already in their hands.

What happened?He asked Tie Axe's subordinates.

The investigating Miss Lightning said that someone secretly jumped into the ship and fled. After saluting, the other party said, "It's probably a mouse hidden among the refugees."
