Dawn of the Ash Tower

The time went back a little bit, one day after Cheese captured Gloria.

Zhuoliu Town, the southern frontier town of the Earl of Saron

"My lord, the southern border has been blocked. So far, there are 120 refugees from the original counties captured and accepted. The second to seventh teams are still patrolling the border, and notices have been posted in the surrounding towns and fortresses."

The original town hall is now taken over by the Knights who came two days ago.The original office staff in the town changed their office locations because of this.These knights are well-trained and courteous, which makes the people in the town feel at ease, just curious what they are here for.

"What about the refugees?"

"Vomiting, fever, and black spots growing on the body. More than ten people died yesterday. Your Excellency."

"...Where is the road leading to the earldom?" the first knight in charge of the city hall asked after listening to his subordinate's report.

"All roads are guarded by the first team, and no one is allowed to enter the county."

"Okay, let's do this first, order the teams to step up their search efforts, and never allow any refugees to leave the earldom." The knight frowned and said.

"Your will, Your Excellency."

After the ordering soldiers left, the knight sitting in the first seat looked at the sand table model of the earldom in front of him and pondered.His eyes swept back and forth on the southern border of the earldom, as if to confirm that there would be omissions in that position.After a long time, he spoke.

"How's the situation in the west?"

"The Grand Duke Hammer has deployed ten teams of knights on the western border, and the follow-up troops are still being mobilized from all over the duchy." The adjutant next to the knight replied immediately.

"Who is the commander of that army?" asked the knight.

"It's Knight Commander Heather, Your Excellency." The adjutant replied.

Heather, the knights know this name. She is one of the few female knight commanders in the entire kingdom. In addition, the Duke of Hammer has a special status. As the chief knight under him, Heather is known to everyone in the kingdom.Although there are many unclear rumors about Knight Commander Heather and Duke Hammer, the knight knows that those are groundless rumors.As for how he knew, it was very simple, because he had had a brief cooperation with Heather before, and the impression Heather left on the knight during that cooperation made him understand that the female knight leader has today's achievements, completely Is by virtue of their own efforts.

Therefore, when she heard that the person who blocked the western border was her, the knight knew that the possibility of accidents in the western border was very small.Temporarily relieved, the knight's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.Thinking of his vacation that was canceled because of this urgent mission, a wry smile appeared on his face unconsciously.Although he is the head of the second regiment of the Kingdom Knights, in the final analysis, he is not as comfortable working for nobles as Heather.

"At least she doesn't have to fight fires all over the kingdom like this." He whispered to himself.

"My lord, regarding the arrangements for the refugees, I hope you can issue an accurate order. Although they have been separated from ordinary townspeople, but..." an adjutant beside him stepped forward and said.Although he didn't say it clearly, there was a hint of sternness on his face.

"I remember, your name is Ben, right?" The knight looked up at the adjutant.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I am from the Andrew family, and my full name is..."

"Okay, I know who you are. Ben Andrew, the hopeful star of the Andrew family, joined the Knights of the Kingdom at the age of 15 and served as my adjutant. However, what I want to say is that you are now just my adjutant. You don’t need to advise me before issuing an order. After I issue an order, you only need to use all your ingenuity to carry out my order.” The knight snapped.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The young adjutant responded in a low voice.

However, the knight did not intend to stop. Instead, he stood up and continued speaking to everyone in the hall.

"I know what you are thinking. I understand your fear, but I want to tell you that we are the king's knights. Even if those refugees are infected with the plague, they are still the king's sons until the king orders us to kill them. People. People from the Pharmacist Association will arrive here soon, and they will do everything possible to suppress this plague. In the history of the kingdom, it is not without plague, and it is not without exception that something worse than this time has happened. But our Knights of the Kingdom have never, and never will, swing their butcher knives at innocent citizens." The knight said loudly, and it could be seen that he was very emotional.

"I understand what you are afraid of. The entire Earl of Saron was almost completely wiped out, and there were almost no one who escaped. And almost no one was not infected. This is terrifying. I know. But look at the blood on your chest. The badge, our oath, our code, and our glory don't allow us to do this. Don't let me hear such voices again. Well, let's all go out." After the knight finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the rest of the people were silent After leaving the hall, only the knight and his most trusted staff were left.

"It's only been two days. The most elite knights in the kingdom can't bear to kill innocent sick people. Hey..." The knight sighed.

"Actually, we can't blame them. These boys are all qualified fighters, and they won't be afraid even if they face an enemy army ten times their size. It's just..." the staff officer said.

"It's just that this plague is too terrible." The knight continued.

"And it broke out too fast. If His Majesty hadn't been notified in time, I'm afraid the loss would have been far greater than that of an earldom."

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine that such a horrible disaster happened naturally." The staff officer also said.

"You mean, this is a plague deliberately spread by someone?"

"It's just my guess, my lord. But I've heard that some insane mages or cultists will indeed use this method to verify their experimental results or sacrifice to evil gods. It is said that such things have happened before." The staff officer continued. .

"It's still too early to make a conclusion. When the people from the Pharmacists' Association arrive, we'll see if they can do anything about it. But if someone really spread the plague secretly, he will definitely regret it," said the knight.

"I'm afraid His Majesty will issue an order to explore the Earl's territory after the members of the Pharmacist's Association arrive. Your Excellency, you'd better decide who will lead the team as soon as possible."

When the border epidemic situation stabilizes, it is almost certain to find the source of the plague. This is a high-risk task that can also be awarded with high honor.The factions in the Knights of the Kingdom are complicated, and the selection of personnel requires many considerations.Even sometimes, even if there is a suitable candidate, one has to settle for the next best thing.The knight is straightforward and hardly considers these things. He was able to achieve this position, on the one hand because of his own illustrious military exploits, and on the other hand because of the king's favor.But even so, offending those big nobles would not have any good results, so the staff wanted the knights to make plans early.

"There is nothing to decide. If His Majesty needs someone to go deep into the epidemic area, I will bear the brunt of it, and I am duty-bound." The knight smiled and shook his head.

He raised his hand to interrupt the next words of the staff officer. The knight stood up and walked towards the door. He took off his cloak from the shelf next to the door and put it on. On the black cloak, a white lion with its head raised was following Dancing in a cape.

The staff officer looked at this person's back, and suddenly felt that the plague didn't seem so terrible anymore.This may be the reason why he is worth following.This is the most outstanding knight in the kingdom, the leader of the second regiment of the Kingdom Knights of the Cangshi Kingdom, Leon the Blood Lion
