Chapter 200 The Plague Begins to Show Its Power
"There is no news from the battlefield. Some people have seen a giant dragon appear on the battlefield, but no battle was seen. It seems that after the giant dragon appeared on the battlefield, it disappeared, and there was no trace of any battle." Second Mate Dima was also frowning when he mentioned this matter.
"How could this happen? Something must have happened to them." Feng Weiluo said with concern.
"Now it's not just their business, but also your business, Lord. Because your giant dragon appeared on the battlefield and disappeared without experiencing a battle, some people in the court have always said that you deserted the battlefield and are the strongest in the empire.
And because you didn't fight, a large amount of land in the empire was lost. Now many lords who have lost their territories hate you to the core and blame you for the loss of their territories. But I heard that it was His Majesty the Emperor who was afraid of a bad influence and because he didn't find out what happened, this matter has never been announced to the public." Dima reported to Feng Weiluo.
"Asshole, they lost their territory, but they didn't look for the reason from themselves, and they dared to blame the professor." Saiya hated people who said bad things about Feng Weiluo. When he heard that the lords who lost their territory blamed Feng Weiluo, he immediately retorted angrily.
"They think that if you, Lord, had blocked it and given the Griffin Knights some time to return, their territory might not have been lost. But because you didn't fight the Iron Puppet Army, it was equivalent to giving up the country without any resistance. So they blamed you for everything." Dima explained.
Feng Weiluo didn't care whether those shitty nobles blamed him or not. What he cared about now was where Taris and Moril had gone.
Based on his understanding of Taris, she was the kind of person who would rather die in battle than flee in the face of danger, not to mention that Moril, a powerful dragon, was by her side, the strongest in the current world environment. Even if she couldn't defeat the other side's powerful Iron Puppet Army, she could retreat calmly after the battle.
"It seems that we can only find news from the Snowland Empire. I don't know what means they used, but no matter what means they used, I will make them pay the price." Feng Weiluo said with a firm look. If he had not been promoted before, he certainly could not say such tough words.
But now he has been promoted to a plague messenger, with the ability to release a large-scale lethal plague. With his current means, he has the ability to threaten an empire.
"It's time to let the world see the horror of the plague messenger." Feng Weiluo said confidently.
"Lord, are you saying that you want to cause trouble for the Snowland Empire?" Second Mate Dima said in disbelief. Although he knew that Feng Weiluo was powerful and was known as the strongest in the empire, the strength of the dragon accounted for most of this strongest.
Now that the dragons have been destroyed by the Snowland Empire, Feng Weiluo would seem a bit overconfident if he went to cause trouble for the Snowland Empire again. But as a subordinate, he couldn't say this.
"That's right. If I want to know the whereabouts of Moril and Taris, I can only ask the Snowland Empire. If they don't tell me, I will beat them until they are willing to tell me." Feng Willow said firmly.
Feng Willow's firm look made Dima even more worried. The four empires have been able to rule the world for so many years, so they are not easy to mess with. They have endless resources. Ordinary people, even powerful sequencers, are not lacking in the four empires.
Although the four empires are constantly dirty, but for so many years, anyone who dares to challenge the order of the four empires has no good end.
Feng Willow saw Dima's worry, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, as a marquis of the empire, I know as much about the empire as you do, even more. I know how powerful an empire is. I am not blindly arrogant."
"Since the lord knows it, then I will not say more. I wish the lord a victory." The second mate Dima said respectfully.
Feng Willow was very confident about the loyalty of his men. They were all in the pagan order, and the god they believed in was the Sea-Dividing Demon God invented by Feng Willow. These people were loyal to him without doubt, and even controlled their life and death through the thread of faith.
Feng Willow did not stay in the territory for too long. He only met his sister Catalina and gave her some cultivation resources. Catalina made rapid progress. In a short period of time, she had cultivated to the strength of the seventh order. As expected, the body transformed by the gods was the most suitable person to cultivate the pirate order.
"Brother, my parents and I were worried to death. They all said that you fled without fighting. If it weren't for the emperor who suppressed the news, I'm afraid that you would have become the first traitor of the empire. Now I'm relieved to see that you are fine. What happened at the beginning?
With your strength, even if you can't defeat the opponent's army, you shouldn't flee without fighting!" Catalina said puzzledly.
"The situation was critical at the time, and His Majesty the Emperor wanted to stop the Snow Empire's Iron Puppet Army. But I had already started the promotion ceremony, and it must not be interrupted. So your sister-in-law Taris took my place and went to the battlefield with the dragon. I had just completed the promotion ceremony and returned to the empire when I heard the news. I don't know what happened at the time." Feng Willow explained with a helpless expression.
Of course, he couldn't tell his sister that he felt that his promotion ceremony was more important than the safety of the empire. So he gave up working for the empire to complete the promotion ceremony, and could only use the Spring and Autumn style to cover it up. It is still necessary to maintain the great and glorious image of a brother.
"Then brother, go to the capital and explain to His Majesty. If those nobles who lost their territories put the responsibility on you, our family will not be able to survive in the empire in the future." Catalina said anxiously.
"Don't worry, this time everyone will shut up." Feng Willow comforted his sister. In fact, this is not only said to his sister, but more to his parents. Because Catalina will definitely tell her parents about these things.
His return to the territory was not kept secret. It is estimated that the capital will soon receive the news. Feng Willow did not stay in the territory for too long. If he was really blocked by the envoy of the capital and asked to go to the capital to explain, he really had no way to explain.
However, as long as he shows the strength of the plague envoy, no one should ask him to explain at that time.
Feng Willow rode the five-headed snake directly back to the sea.
Just after Feng Willow had been gone for half a day, the envoy of the capital had already arrived at Longcheng on a griffin and summoned Feng Willow to the capital.
Unfortunately, they came to nothing, Feng Willow had already left the territory.
"What do you mean Feng Willow left? Your Majesty is still willing to give him a chance to explain. Do you know how rare this is? There are countless nobles in the country who are now demanding the punishment of Feng Willow. It was all thanks to Your Majesty who withstood the pressure and suppressed public opinion.
Your Majesty thinks there may be some hidden secrets, but just hopes that he can have a reasonable explanation. As long as there is a reasonable reason, Your Majesty can also excuse Feng Willow.
But now he is back, and he ran away without even wanting to see Your Majesty. Do you know how embarrassed Your Majesty will be?" The envoy was a court nobleman, and he was full of resentment towards Feng Willow. He stopped calling Marquis Willow and just called Feng Willow.
In front of him was Baron Roland, von Willow's father, who was smiling apologetically and said, "Please tell His Majesty that there are indeed some hidden secrets, but words are not enough. Feng Willow has gone to find some evidence now. He is definitely not deserting the battlefield. He will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."
"There is no trace of fighting. What evidence is there to find? It is not his responsibility to resist the imperial army. He is willing to fight for the empire, which is indeed a commendable thing. But since he has promised His Majesty, he has not done it. Isn't this deceiving His Majesty?" The messenger said angrily.
"My lord, calm down. In any case, please wait for a few more days. Feng Willow is not deserting the battlefield. He will definitely give His Majesty a reasonable explanation." Baron Roland said as he stuffed a small purse with ten magic crystals in it.
This thing is very valuable, far exceeding the price of gold. The court envoy squeezed the purse in his hand, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, considering that your family has served the empire for generations, I will go back and explain it to His Majesty, and try to buy more time for Marquis Willow."
Looking at the back of the griffin riding again, Baron Roland also sighed. Although he can't help his son now, he still wants to do his part.
Feng Willow didn't delay along the way, and didn't even enter the port. He found a seaside, rode the five-headed snake, took Saiyan, the first mate Anthony, and the boatswain Brown into the deep sea, and then released the ghost ship.
As soon as the bloody sailing ship appeared in the offshore, all the nearby ships took a long detour. No ship wanted to get close to this sailing ship that exuded a terrifying momentum.
Feng Willow didn't delay either, and drove straight to the coastal area of the Snowy Empire. The ship that blatantly flew the bloody skull flag immediately made everyone wonder, whose ship is this? He actually dared to cruise outside the coastal cities of the empire, and arrogantly hung a blood-red skull banner upon his throne.
"Send a letter to the Snowland Empire and ask them where they hid my dragon. Ask them to send my dragon and people back, and I will forgive their mistake this time. Otherwise, I will destroy all the port cities in the Snowland Empire." Feng Willow wrote a letter of persuasion and handed it to a ghost under his command.
The tone of the letter was a bit loud, and he was afraid that if he sent someone, the other party would detain his men.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Feng Willow's letter was full of provocation, but only Feng Willow knew that this was his last mercy to the residents of this port city.
Unfortunately, Feng Willow's kindness was regarded as arrogance. He was beheaded without even seeing the highest person in charge of the port. After all, the undead are the public enemy of all life.
"If that's the case, you can't blame me." Feng Willow muttered in a low voice.
"Left-handed secret technique: spreading the plague."
A bit of plague flew out from the main flag of the ghost ship and landed in the distant port city. The main sail was the plague flag.
At first, some people's bodies turned red, and soon those who had contact with these people began to turn red all over their bodies. Then, it quickly spread throughout the city.
The next day, something started to go wrong. The redness on the body turned into unbearable itching, and then the body began to fester. Soon, someone realized that it was a plague because there were too many people in this state.
People have been dying since the third day. After all, this plague is something that even the powerful monster Deep Sea Demon Whale cannot resist. When used against ordinary mortals, the outbreak speed is very fast.
Thinking of the letter sent by the ghost before, someone soon realized that this plague was not an accident, but was spread by someone. Unfortunately, it was too late at this time. Everyone in the entire port city had been infected by the plague.
The mayor quickly ordered the blockade of the entire port, and no one was allowed to leave the port, whether by water or land. This person really has some ability. He blocked the entire restless city and began to send a message to the upper level.
Feng Willow was watching all this happen on the sea in the distance. If possible, he didn't want to use the plague as a killer, but now he only had this way to threaten an empire.
If the Snowland Empire is unwilling to compromise, then all the people in the entire port city will die, and it's no wonder that Feng Willow is cruel.
Sure enough, the Snowland Empire had no intention of reconciliation, but instead sent a high-level sequencer with healing ability. The response of the Snowland Empire was not slow. In just two days, ten high-level sequencers were mobilized, all of whom had healing abilities.
Unfortunately, they were late after all. Two days was enough to cause a large number of deaths. After all, it had been more than two days since the plague was discovered. More than four days was enough for ordinary people with strong bodies to die from the plague.
Now not only ordinary people, but also the sequencers in the city, including the ten high-level sequencers who came to reinforce, were all corroded by the plague and infected with the red skin plague.
It took another day for the ten high-level healing sequencers to study the plague. At this time, the number of deaths had exceeded half. (End of this chapter)
