Chapter 18 Legionnaires' Disease (Plague)
Chapter 18 Legion Disease (Plague)
Finally, accompanied by those annoying flies, we went to the barracks. After proper placement, the army was stationed directly there, while Carcent took several division commanders to the lord's mansion, and I became a free man for the time being.
After coming out of my own independent room, I touched dozens of gold coins as big as coins in my pocket and hesitated for a while. What should I do? Leave? But I am not familiar with the place and may encounter any danger. Stay here? Maybe after the reinforcements arrive in a few days, I may be sent to the battlefield again. That is really too dangerous.
I stayed at the door for a long time, but I didn't make up my mind. Forget it, I went to the city first, and the reinforcements didn't arrive so quickly, and I wanted to find an opportunity to escape. It would be better to slip away after the reinforcements arrived while they were unprepared. At that time, they were busy preparing to go to war with the Senke Federation, and there was still time to take care of me?
"Hanlong, it turns out you are still in the room? I thought you were out! How about it? Go to the street to inquire about the news?"
Hughes's appearance made me stunned. Didn't he go to accompany Carcent? Why did he appear here? Inquiry about the news? What news? Suddenly, I knew what was wrong. Damn, now I am a Xia tribe from the Casdek Empire, and I play a traveling businessman affected by the war. Now I should worry about my companions.
"Yes, so I just packed up and prepared to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect you to come. Why, is there something wrong?" I immediately walked up the rod after coming to my senses.
"It's no big deal, I'm just here to give you something. Look at your own equipment, what do you look like? It's like a deserter on the battlefield. Then, this is the leather armor for swordsmen in the Empire. I don't think it's ugly to wear it. At least you won't lose the face of our 103rd Legion when you go out like this." Hughes didn't see anything wrong with me, but just pointed at my sack, showing a funny expression. But it was true that the sack that Cook and the others gave me was really not sure where it was found, and it might even be pulled down from the dead. When I thought about the first time I thought this, I felt that the chill was aversion. Coupled with the few days of hard work, it was simply indescribable.
I was happy that I weighed the big bag in Hughes's hand and immediately knew that there might be something inside, but I didn't ask, and I would know it after I opened it later. After thanking me, I thought about where to find a bath, otherwise I would always feel itchy all over.
"Well! By the way, the commander of the Legion asked me to tell you that when I left the barracks to inquire about your tribe, I asked you to take a few guards. Now the city is full of refugees who escaped from between Custer and the Stone City, including many criminals, soldiers and robbers. So the city is not safe now, and there are crimes and murders and robbers everywhere. The commander of the Legion has nothing to say to you, haha!" Hughes, who was turning around and leaving, turned around and reminded me again. However, for his words, I almost threw my interest in going out into the trash can...
Yan Huhuhu found a pond to wash it, then changed into clothes, paired it with swords and daggers. Well, it looked like it was so pretty, and it wasn't so embarrassing.
Calculate the time now, it should be two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Touching my stomach, I walked towards the canteen of the military camp. Although the meal time has passed, who am I? Now the celebrity in the hands of the Legion Commander, unless Y doesn't want to get along...
I couldn't stand loneliness and was afraid that my life would be lost, so I could only take a group of soldiers to the streets. Damn, how good would it be if there was a computer that could surf the Internet? Then I wouldn't worry about anything. Even if I had to keep me for a year, I wouldn't feel lonely, but there was nothing in the military camp...
In order to find an acquaintance, I went to the 223rd Legion to find Cook McGrady and Canan, whom I knew first. As a result, except for Canan, they had already gone out, but Canan had something to do with me, which led to me being idle and finally had to return in a bad mood.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the military camp, I felt a little irritable. This was not a city, it was simply a huge refugee camp. The beggars gathered at the entrance of the military camp, and many of them were even hungry as skin and bones as African refugees. The ground was full of garbage and feces, and at this time approaching winter, there were still flies all over the sky.
"Why is this happening? Isn't anyone taking care of it?" Seeing all this, I felt very scared and immediately shouted to the soldiers at the gate of the military camp.
"Sir, there is no way. They didn't rush into the military camp. We can't expel them without reason, right? And they are also civilians of the empire..." Hearing my bad tone, a squadron leader immediately explained to me, but no matter how he heard it, it seemed that he was accusing me.
"Sir, although this is the eastern lord, the city lord here is directly dispatched by the empire. Moreover, when our army arrives here, our army has no right to inquire about the affairs of all and large in the city except for taking over the city's defense and some military affairs." Seeing my bad face, another officer immediately interrupted the squadron leader and explained to me.
"Damn it, I'm not talking about those. I only know that if those people are allowed to die here and let them rot here, then we may be done! Damn it, don't you know that this will cause malaria and plague?" Looking at the dead and even the decayed corpses, I couldn't help but raise my voice, and even the refugees looked at me.
"Sir, what are malaria and plague? What are these diseases? Is it very powerful?" an officer asked in confusion.
"It is a very contagious disease. It is usually caused by too many deaths and long-term decays. Many of them are caused by war..." Perhaps they do not have this disease or this name here. But since I am not very clear about the situation of this disease, I can only explain it roughly. But before I finished speaking, I found that the faces of the soldiers on the scene changed, and many people even turned green in their entire faces. It is hard to imagine that many people who are not even afraid of death will be scared like this after hearing my explanation.
"Military~~Legion~~Legion disease~~~~~~" After several officers squeezed out a few words from their teeth, many soldiers even fell off their weapons with a bang, which shows the powerful power of this so-called Legion disease.
