Chapter 75 The plague rages

As Schwab said, the knights in Haas Berg Castle do everything they can do and do everything they can't think that the bacteria they had never seen before would bring disaster to the castle they were stationed. They did not notice that the stone shells thrown by the Pumbrus people were covered with dirty liquid, and some ground beef was also thrown into the castle at the same time. When the battle ended, the knights would not clean up these debris. These dirty and tired work would generally be handed over to the servants and peasants in the castle. This means that the ignorant peasants became the first group of infected people, and they used their own dirty things without any awareness.

Their hands moved the shells thrown into the castle. When these hungry people discovered the beef projected by the Pumbrus people, they were so happy that they went crazy. In order to deal with the siege of the Pumbrus people, the castle had already implemented a semi-supply system on non-combatants. The hungry peasants and servants had to do heavy work. Now these foods were simply God's gift to them. You must know that even in the harvest year, they could not eat beef. Only the nobles could enjoy this treatment. They carefully hid the beef pieces. When the knights and the lords were sleeping, they eagerly ate these half-baked beef.

After the battle stopped for a week, Lemondo gradually found that the atmosphere in the castle was getting worse and worse. After finishing his routine patrol in the guard tower, he came to the castle and walked around. On both sides of the muddy and stinky narrow street, many people stopped leaning against the houses beside the street. They wrapped their bodies in linen, but shivered under the scorching sun. From time to time, people got up and vomited, and the streets were covered with various dirty things.

"Hey, what happened?" Lemondo pulled a soldier passing by and asked him.

"Sorry, I don't know. Many people are sick and my brother is sick. I want to go to see a doctor." The soldier said anxiously to Lemondo, then got rid of Lemondo's hand and walked towards the pharmacy where the doctor was.

"Sir, leave here quickly, it seems like a plague." Looking at the patients who were constantly dying on both sides of the street, Lemondo's guard knights turned pale. This large-scale outbreak reminded them of the terrible typhoid plague, which was God's disrespect for people and one of the punishments of heaven.

"How could this happen? What happened?" Lemondo was also panicked when he heard that it was a plague. Plague is not unfamiliar to people of this era. Smallpox and typhoid fever are common infectious diseases. The territory where such infectious diseases occurs is usually a devastating blow. The people in the territory die and flee, and the scene of leaving their hometown is extremely miserable. Even the lords will leave their manors and castles and hide in the territory of relatives who have no infectious diseases. There is no cure. Only wait quietly for the natural disappearance of the infectious diseases, or until the people in the territory die. Therefore, people in this era generally believe that plague is God's means to punish the ungodly.

"It started a few days ago, and it first appeared among the servants, but now it is already spreading towards soldiers. Sir, let's go quickly, and let's leave it to the doctors." The guard knight quickly set up Lemondo and walked towards the safer and closed main tower of the castle, where non-knights and soldiers are not allowed to approach.

"Sir Pedro, when did the plague occur in the castle?" Walking into the main tower, Lemondo walked towards the command room without delay. It was where Pedro lived and held military meetings. It was all made of solid rocks. The low arched doorway had the meaning of being a man as a pass, and ten thousand men could not open it.

"Ah, you are my friend." Pedro was discussing something seriously with the lords at the huge wooden table. He heard Lemondo's footsteps and words, and quickly turned his head and said to Lemondo.

"Hello my friend, you know that the castle is plague." Lemondo said to Pedro with a frown. The worst thing about guarding the castle was the plague, because they could not heal and could not escape from the castle. The final outcome was either death or surrender to the besiegers.

"I just knew that at first we thought it was just a common disease, but now it seems that it is undoubtedly a plague. This is the best doctor in our castle, and he will make it clear to you." Pedro pointed to a doctor with gray hair and beard standing in the corner of the conference room. He stood there humbly waiting for the nobles to ask questions.

"Hello sir, what do you think of the current plague?" Lemondo turned his attention to the doctor at this time. He asked anxiously but not without the aristocratic style.

"Yes, Lord Lord. I will do my best to answer you." The doctor bowed respectfully to Lemondo, and then continued, "This usually happens during siege wars. After all, there are a large number of people gathered here, and these people were originally scattered in various parts of the territory, so they may have been infected with the disease before, but they have only now erupted."

"You mean the phenomenon that exists?" Lemondo asked.

"Yes, in my experience, this is indeed the case." The doctor said respectfully.

"Is there any solution? Isn't he your duty to cure illness?" Lemondo was most concerned about how to solve this problem, but he actually knew very well in his heart that once a plague occurs, there is basically no way except praying for God.

"I'm sorry, sir." As Lemondo expected, the doctor frowned and lowered his head. There was no way to deal with the disease of the plague of God. All he could do was to try to delay the patient's life. Only if they could survive it, could they obey God's arrangements.

"Okay, you go down." Pedro waved his hand and asked the doctor to step down and let him do his own thing.

"It's really damn, but the plague happened at this time." Lemondo sat dejectedly on the chair. He lowered his head and untied his sword and placed it on the wooden table in front of him.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, but we have no way to stop God's will. Let us go to the prayer room together and pray to God to make this terrible plague leave our castle quickly." Pedro stood up and patted Lemondo's shoulder. On one side of the command room, there was a small prayer room of less than twenty squares. On the other side, there was a large stained glass window from the southern city-state. There was a copper gilt cross in front of the window. The sunlight projected through the stained glass window in the prayer room, decorating this prayer room was particularly sacred. Pedro and Lemondo knelt on the kneeling pad in front of the cross, holding their hands together, placing their elbows on the stone steps in front of them, lowering their heads and praying quietly to God.

Although Pedro and Lemondo tried hard to pray to the King of Heaven, the plague not only did not stop, but became increasingly uncontrollable. Soon, people who died in the castle were exhausted, and the bodies died in the streets without anyone to manage. In the end, only some monks in the castle came forward to pull the bodies into the graves and buried them. However, soon there was not enough cemeteries in the castle. They could only pile up the bodies around the cemetery, making the castle full of the odor of corpses. Bacteria were growing more and more in this dirty environment, and the strong soldiers began to feel the threat of death.

"Hey, it's so damn. Someone in the castle died again. It's so scary. I'm not afraid of dying in the battle, but I'd rather jump from here after dying from feces and vomit. You're friends." On the walls of the castle, two soldiers stood here with spears, talking to each other about the plague in the castle.

"That's right, by the way, you didn't notice that something was wrong with the big nose Marl today." Another soldier touched his companion with his elbow. Another soldier was guarding him about ten steps, but the soldier was holding a spear, but his body was like wheat swaying in the wind, constantly swaying, looking at him as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Hey, Big Nose, are you okay?" they shouted to the soldier.

"Vomit~~~." Suddenly, Big Nose Marl bent down and spit out a lot of vomit from his mouth. The other soldiers saw Big Nose Marl's face pale like a dead person.

"Damn it, he was infected with the plague, ah~~~." When the soldiers saw this scene, they were in horror. If they were infected with the plague, they would be thrown to the streets and wait for death immediately. No one wanted this to happen to them.

"Not good, sir, the plague is beginning to spread among the soldiers." Pedro and Lemondo, who were protected in the main tower of the castle, were alarmed by the fuss of the knights. They looked haggard and were frightened by the plague in the castle all day long.

"What? It's also beginning to spread among the soldiers. What should I do? Is God going to give up on us?" Pedro shouted in horror.

"Don't panic my friend, send the sick soldiers to the doctor immediately." Lemondo also tried his best to remain calm. He immediately ordered the knight to send the sick soldiers to the pharmacy and let the doctors treat them.

"Yes, sir." The knight hurriedly left, directing his servants to carry the people away, walking on the dead street, and saw that many doors of houses on both sides of the street had black forks, which meant that the people in the house were dead. Some doctors began to burn these houses with torches, and the black smoke rose up in the castle.
