The Junhui City City Hall carried out the task very quickly. It quickly announced the recruitment order, invited ten doctors who were willing to go to Fengsuicheng, and also purchased a large amount of herbal medicine from the pharmacy.

Under the coordination of Viscount Jarvis, the purchased herbs and other supplies were hurriedly transported to the ship by the People's Army.

The next afternoon, Owen boarded the battleship King and gave the order to set off.

As the whistle sounded, the battleship slowly left the dock and led several cement steamships to sail northwest.

The fleet sailed into the Pilgrimage River, a tributary of the Weishui River, and its destination was Fengsuicheng City located in the northern part of the Fengfei Plain.

In order to reach Fengsui City as soon as possible, Owen ordered the battleship King to move forward at full speed, leaving the cement steamer behind alone to take the lead.

Two days later, the steel battleship successfully arrived at the suburban dock of Fengsuicheng.

At this moment, the dock was very deserted, no one was seen busy working, and many houses had their doors and windows closed.

It seems that the news of the plague outbreak in Fengsui City spread, scaring out-of-town merchants and ships from approaching the place, and naturally there was no work to do.

In the distance, several residents covered their mouths and noses with black cloth. When they saw the huge iron ship docked at the pier, they thought it was an invading army from the south. They hid in their homes and watched worriedly through the gaps in the windows.

The soldiers on the battleship also covered their mouths and noses, stepped off the ship one after another, and quickly took control of the dock.

Since he was leaving in a hurry, Owen did not send anyone to inform Fengsuicheng in advance of his arrival.

Therefore, he had no choice but to send a team of five messengers to inform the gatekeepers of Fengsu City.

Fengsuicheng, East Gate.

The city gate was tightly closed, and the gatekeepers above noticed the large iron ship docked at the dock. After all, it was too conspicuous.

One of the masked guards leaned out against the wall and shouted to the envoys below: "Who are you?"

"We are envoys sent by the new king." The leading soldier raised his head and replied loudly.

"New king?"

The guards on the city gate looked at each other. Of course they knew about the change of ownership of the royal capital, but what was the new king doing in Fengsuicheng at this time?

"I'm very sorry. A plague broke out in Fengsui City recently. The lord ordered the entire city to be sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If the new king has something to see the lord, he can go to Longya Ridge."

"No."

The messenger shook his head and said loudly: "The new king is here to deal with this plague. He quickly informs the current administrator of Fengsuicheng and asks him to go out of the city to meet the king."

Dealing with the plague?

These words made the soldiers at the city gate find it incredible. In the past, when major disasters occurred, if the rulers could not handle it, they would often decisively abandon the civilians and be the first to escape, just like their lord, Duke Lyman.

But this new king actually took the initiative to go to the place where the plague broke out and offered to help. It is extremely rare for a king to care about the people like this.

Is there really a way to deal with this terrible plague?

Without thinking much, the guard responded: "You wait outside the city gate, I will inform the Baron right away."

Inside Toyosui Castle, church.

The church has already assumed some of the functions of treating patients.

Nowadays, this place, as one of the medical points, is already overcrowded. The floor is covered with straw mats used as hospital beds, and the sounds of patients wailing in pain are everywhere.

Doctors and priests who covered their mouths and noses were walking around, examining patients whose condition worsened, and were too busy to pay attention to Bei.

A high-ranking priest squatted next to the patient and cast faith magic to exorcise evil spirits.

I saw a faint white light emitting from the patient's body, with a few starry white spots rising. The painful expression on his face was slightly relieved, and his body no longer shivered.

Seeing this, the patient's family members said excitedly: "Thank you, priest! Thank you, that's great."

In fact, exorcism can only make the patient feel better and has little effect on improving the condition. But in the eyes of ordinary people, they would think that the condition has improved because magic has worked.

As long as the time limit expires, the patient's condition will change back.

"You're welcome."

The senior priest nodded slightly and stood up to perform magic on the next patient.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, his body swayed uncontrollably from side to side, and he soon lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Master Priest!"

"Another priest has fallen!"

"Quick! Lift him up and take him to the room inside."

The people around him immediately started working in a hurry, and the person commanding them was the only nobleman who chose to stay - Baron Kevin.

"Lord Baron! Two more civilians infected with the plague were discovered."

"What?! This place is already full. Please take them to other medical facilities."

"yes!"

Because his face was covered, he couldn't see Baron Kevin's expression, but he could still see the anxiety in his eyes.

Another priest has fallen, and the number of patients is increasing. It is feared that this plague will be difficult to control, and many people may die in the end.

"Lord Baron!"

At this moment, the gatekeeper hurried over and reported: "There is a large iron ship docked at the suburban pier. The messenger sent said that the new king is here. They are here to help deal with the plague and ask you to leave the city.

See you in person."

Baron Kevin did not doubt the identity of the other party at all. After all, the steel ship became famous when he attacked the royal capital. Now many people know that the ship belongs to the new king.

But what puzzled him was, did the new king really want to help deal with the plague, or did he want to take the opportunity to recover Fengsui City? Or both?

In any case, the new king may have underestimated the plague.

"well--"

Baron Kevin shook his head and sighed, and said to the guard: "Take me there quickly."

Arriving at the east city gate, Baron Kevin ordered the guards to open the gate to a gap for one person to pass through, and then led two guards out of the city.

Following the messenger outside the city gate to the dock in the suburbs, he was slightly stunned when he saw the legendary new king.

At this time, Irving's outfit seemed a bit strange to outsiders. He was wrapped up tightly and had Winnie's spare goggles on his eyes. This was the most stringent protection he could achieve at the moment.

Dressed like this under the scorching sun, it must be very hot, but there is no way, it has to be this way.

"I have met His Majesty."

After reacting, Baron Kevin quickly touched his chest and saluted, and introduced himself: "I am Baron Kevin, the administrator of Fengsu City."

"Are you the only nobleman left?"

Owen raised his hand curiously, touched his chin, looked at the other person and asked: "I heard that other nobles have left the city to seek refuge. Why did you choose to stay?"

"Because someone has to stay and take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, Fengsuicheng will inevitably fall into chaos, causing the plague to spread across the country." Baron Kevin explained, "Since they don't want to stay, then I can only do it.

Take this responsibility.”

After a pause, he tried to dissuade him again: "Your Majesty, the plague that broke out in Fengsui City is extremely terrible. We will accept all the material assistance you provide, but please return where you are and don't enter the city. I don't want to see you infected.

On the plague.”

There is still a guy with good character among the aristocratic group, and Baron Kevin's words left a good impression on Owen.

"I know very well how serious this plague is."

Owen responded calmly: "That's why I have to go deep into the epidemic area to understand the source of the plague, guide you to take correct and scientific epidemic prevention measures, and come up with effective treatment plans to save the patients. Believe me, I will lead

You defeated the plague."

There were some strange words that Baron Kevin didn't understand, but that didn't prevent him from figuring out one thing, that is, the new king wanted to go into the city to contact the patients.

"But……"

Before Kevin could say anything, Owen raised his hand to interrupt and said in a strong commanding tone: "Stop it, don't waste time, take me into the city quickly, this is the king's order."

At this point, Baron Kevin couldn't continue to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
