Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters control the plague
Under the sky in the Riverlands, the continuous drizzle has finally stopped, and the surging Trident River has returned to its former position.
However, the damage caused by the flood cannot be restored to the past. Endless fertile fields were destroyed, and villages and towns became much dilapidated.
The road ahead was a little muddy, and there were even some sinkholes when you stepped on it, squeezing out bubbles, and there were piles of homeless refugees on both sides of the road.
Some of them had their families with them, and some were alone. Their families may have been washed away by the water, but all of them looked ragged, pale, and weak. It was obvious that they had not eaten for an unknown amount of time.
They were full, but coughing sounds could be heard from time to time among these refugees, which made people wary.
Now everyone already knows that the plague is coming, after all, there are many dead bodies everywhere on both sides of the road.
Some had been drowned a long time ago, and their bodies had rotted, but no one had buried them. Others were obviously still breathing, but they were lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, waiting for death. Some of the coughing sounds came from
It comes from the mouths of these people.
Everyone shunned them and hid far away. No one dared to feed them food and no one dared to help them treat their illnesses. In this state for at most one day, they might be destined not to see the sun tomorrow. Tonight
He will die and become a corpse on the roadside.
In addition to these people, there were some people in the crowd who couldn't help but cough. However, after coughing a few times, they hurriedly covered themselves with their clothes and looked around cautiously, for fear of being noticed by others.

Heros rode his horse and had a panoramic view of the scenery along the way.
However, his heart felt a little sinking, because the development of this plague was indeed too fast, which he did not expect.
The disease was first discovered in the military camp he led. At this time, there was no news about the spread of the plague to the outside world.
And Heros also took decisive measures to stop the development of the epidemic.
He thought he could nip this disaster in the bud.
But he didn't expect that the first few patients discovered in the military camp were not the source of the plague. During the period when his door was closed, the terrible evil plague had quietly spread across the land of the Riverlands.
And he also missed the earliest opportunity to stop the epidemic. Now I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to stop the spread of the epidemic...
"If only it could be discovered earlier"
Heros's face was slightly uncertain, but fortunately, Helos had some premonitions in advance and was fully prepared.
He felt that this plague would not end so hastily, so he had already passed the news to the Valley, the West, and King's Landing when he discovered the plague.
The eldest prince of the Valyrian Empire asked them to prevent the refugees from the Riverlands from flowing into the territory and prevent the plague from spreading in various provinces of the Valyrian Empire.
After receiving the letter from Horos, the Western Region and the Valley took decisive measures to close the access to the two provinces.
The terrain of the Westerlands and the Vale is complex and mountainous, so they only need to guard the mountain passes to prevent the influx of refugees from the Riverlands.
But it is not that easy for King's Landing to prevent the spread of the epidemic. King's Landing and the Riverlands directly border each other, and they are flat land.
There are no fortresses between King's Landing and the Riverlands that can be guarded, and since King's Landing is the capital of the empire, a large number of refugees from the Riverlands naturally move towards King's Landing.
Therefore, due to desperation and the order of the eldest prince, King's Landing had to temporarily close the city gates to prevent the influx of refugees from the Riverlands to prevent irreversible consequences.
After all, the population of King's Landing has reached one million. If the plague spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Heros, what should we do?"
"How about we get out of here first."

As for the tall Kingsguard Attis, his feet stood on the ground, and the ground trembled slightly as he stepped forward. He looked down at the 'little people' below, and then turned his head to look at him.
Friend, he spoke with a worried rumble in his voice.
"No we can't go, Attis."
And Heros, who was sitting on the horse, was much lower than Attis. His face looked thoughtful, then he shook his head and said.
"If we leave too, I don't know how many people will die in the Riverlands."
This is a tragic era.
Wars, long nights, disasters, plagues, anything can easily take away people's lives, and only by avoiding these things one by one can you survive.
"We must stay and prevent this disaster."
Then Heros took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, and spoke decisively.
The eldest prince of the empire, Horos Targaryen, led his army into the Riverlands to suppress the flood. However, he did not expect that a plague suddenly broke out in the Riverlands, and the virus swept the entire Riverlands province in an instant.
As the imperial prince, Horos could have safely withdrawn from the Riverlands, but he was not prepared to leave. Instead, he decided to stay in the Riverlands to control the plague.
In the outside world, news of the plague outbreak in the Riverlands has spread throughout the country. People are fearful of the horror of the plague and can't help but think of the great spring plague more than a hundred years ago.
Fortunately, His Highness Hroth Targaryen discovered and dealt with it in time, blocking the plague within the Riverlands and preventing the virus from spreading and causing dire consequences.
"Diana, your brother has decided to stay in the Riverlands."
On the distant Great Wall, Arya held a letter in her hand and quickly walked into a recently repaired castle.
After hearing the news, Princess Diana of the Targaryen family, who was a guest at the Queen's Gate on the Great Wall, was full of surprise.
"What?"
Ten years have passed.
The slim girl back then has grown into a big girl. Diana has a tall and plump figure, a slender waist, short silver-gold hair, flawless white skin, and a pair of bright and clear lavender eyes.
She has a lively personality just like her baby mother Rhaenys, and the two women get along very well. Diana likes to be with Rhaenys more than her biological mother.
She often took her own Kingsguard Arya and traveled around the world on dragons. During these travels, Diana would occasionally go to Dragonstone to accompany Rhaenys.
Therefore, Rhaenys later gave Diana the Valyrian steel sword 'Dark Sister' that Viserys had given her.
Rhaenys has been staying on Dragonstone for many years. It would be a waste to keep the magic weapon by her side. It would be better to give it to someone who needs it more.
But now that Diana appears at the Great Wall, she is actually out to relax when she is bored.
