Release that Witch - Chapter 225

[Chapter 224 Rescue]

Knowing that His Highness has a cure for the evil plague, Thasa’s restless mood finally calmed down.

And once there is something to be busy, the next few days seem to go by a lot faster.

In addition to visiting winemaking estates in the suburbs and formulating the route for the convoy, he also kept the topography from the canal pier to the city gate in mind.

Now it is a lot of trouble to enter the royal city. Because of the refugees outside the city, all the gates of the royal capital have been closed, and outsiders are forbidden to enter. Especially after knowing that the church is distributing holy medicine, desperate crowds rush to the city gates every day, hoping to He went to the church to seek treatment, but the guards on the city wall responded with bows and crossbows without hesitation. Now there are many corpses piled up at the gate of the city, emitting an unpleasant smell under the scorching sun.

The only side door that is open is only for nobles and food merchants to pass through. Fortunately, Tasa has served in the patrol team for a long time, and he is a native of the royal city. Most of the guards on duty know him, and they only need to say hello when they enter and leave. .

It is also because of this that the communication between inside and outside the city is almost cut off. Even if the fugitives are transported with great fanfare at the pier, it is difficult for the news to spread to the city. What’s more, for the upper-class nobles, they wish that someone would take this group of things that could be detonated at any time. If the border refugees are all taken away, the province will also concentrate patrols to suppress the riots.

Tasa probably understood how His Highness decided to leave on the day he received the letter. These people have been abandoned by the capital. If the church sends priests out of the city to distribute holy medicine at this time, most of the fugitives will probably become devout believers.

If His Highness can pull this group of people under his command before the church, and bring them a new life and a place to live in, there is no doubt that they will become His Highness’s fanatical supporters.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the return fleet arrived at the canal pier on time, Tasa was surprised to find that there were as many as 300 soldiers from the first army sent by His Highness, and they were basically equipped with revolver rifles.

With this powerful team as a guarantee, even if the church knows the news, it probably won’t be able to stop the fugitives from leaving.

“Lightning!” Margaery, who was also waiting at the pier, saw the little girl, and couldn’t wait to step forward and hug her.

“This is…?” Iron Ax asked.

“The owner of the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Margaret.” Tasa introduced, “All the ships needed for this delivery were contacted and provided by her. She has contributed a lot to the implementation of the plan.”

“So that’s how it is .”

“Tie Ax nodded to her, “Thank you for your help.”

“I will deduct this fee from Your Highness,” she shrugged, “And instead of thanking me, thank you Lightning.”

Lightning tilted his head , “Why?”

“Ahem, it’s nothing,” Tasa coughed twice, “What are you going to do next?”

“Set up a camp in the south of the pier, and at the same time control the pier area, and start the rescue in the afternoon.” Iron Ax said, ” As for the boat, I’ll leave it to you.

”

Dying patients are everywhere, black blood and pus flow out of the cracked skin, attracting flies to swarm in, but they don’t even have the strength to drive them away, allowing these flying insects to crawl around and lick the blood.

He couldn’t help but think of how the people of Border Town were trapped in the slums of the fortress in the Moon of Demons, and faced with the encroachment of hunger and cold, they were also so powerless.

If this is really what the church does, it is an unforgivable crime.

“Gather the ones who can move first,” Brian said, “It’s up to you, Miss Echo.”

Rushing to publicize among the crowd that they have medicine that can treat the disease will cause a sensation. The dozens of people on their own can’t suppress it at all.

Therefore, the notification must be done in batches. It is precisely this that Her Highness considered when arranging Echo to accompany her. Her ability can designate the sound to be heard in a certain area, or in a certain person’s ears.

Brian only saw her open her mouth, but didn’t make any sound, and someone among the fugitives had already looked over.

Soon, a group of people stumbled over, “Sir, is what you said true? As long as this disease can be cured, I am willing to go to the West with you!”

It was done, and Brian was overjoyed, “Of course , our boat has stopped at the pier area, bring your family and follow me!”

Other soldiers also stepped forward to help carry the patient who was lying on the ground unable to move, and the team expanded to hundreds of people in an instant, walking towards the canal pier go.

Many people noticed this scene and rushed over.

Back at the pier, the soldiers of the First Army had placed the bags containing the purified water on a long table, and the entrance to the trestle bridge boarded by the ship was handled by a team led by Iron Ax, and only two people were allowed to pass through at a time to ensure that all boarders drank Under the purified water.

“Listen well, everyone, these water bags contain medicine for healing, as long as you drink it, you will be cured immediately.” A platform was set up beside the long table, and a soldier stood on it, constantly preaching His Highness’s manuscript, “The church’s so-called “the plague is caused by witches, and only the holy medicine can get rid of it” is completely nonsense. They just want to earn more coins and make you kneel down to thank you for saving your life.

And His Royal Highness Roland not only brought the potion, but also didn’t charge any fees!

That’s right, you don’t even need a copper eagle!

These words

caused a commotion in the crowd, and the first person who drank the purified water soon felt the changes in his body. He tore off his clothes in disbelief and watched the dark spots disappear quickly, “This medicine It really works!

I’m fine, I’m fine!

”

Me too, by gods, the wound is not bleeding anymore!”

”

” God?

where is it?

I just saw a bunch of liars!

”

“That’s right, this medicine has nothing to do with the church!”

”

“Long live His Royal Highness Roland!”

”

As more people recovered, everyone’s reaction became more and more excited. If it wasn’t for the soldiers of the First Army to control the order, the long table with water bags would have been washed away by the fugitives.

“His Royal Highness Roland is now developing the Western Territory, and a large number of people are needed to cultivate the fields, build houses, and build roads… He does not charge for the potion, nor does he force you to go to the Western Territory,” the soldier in charge of propaganda continued loudly, “But Your Highness Promise, as long as you are willing to go to the west and serve him, you will get food, shelter and salary! No matter what your specialties, you can get a matching job! Those who are willing, take a step forward, follow the mercenaries on board, and go to New home! It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, you can leave after three days of assisting us, and the food for these three days will also be provided by the caravan for free!”

“Is there really a place to live and a salary?” Someone asked loudly.

“Of course, this is the condition that His Royal Highness Roland himself said!” The soldier nodded in response.

“Please let me aboard, I am willing to serve His Highness!”

“Me too!”

“And me, Mr. UUReading www.sonicmtl.com!”

“I am a blacksmith!”

“…”

Brian was delighted I saw that none of this group of hundreds of people chose to stay in the capital, but all boarded the sailboat to the west.

A ship set off immediately after it was fully loaded, followed by empty ships one after another, without the slightest pause under Margaery’s command.

Afterwards, Brian continued to go back and forth between the refugee camp and the pier, relying on the sound transmission technique of the echo to attract batches of refugees from the East, keeping the number within three or four hundred each time.

Just as he was returning to the pier with a group of newly recruited patients, he suddenly saw the First Army stationed in the southern wheat field move.

A small team rushed to the north bank of the canal at high speed, the guns behind them were already in their hands.

“What happened?” he asked Iron Axe’s men.

“Miss Lightning, who is investigating, said that someone jumped off the ship and escaped secretly,” the other party said after saluting, “Maybe it’s a mouse hiding among the refugees?” (To be continued.)
