Chapter 316 Hope(1/2)

Under the leadership of Baron Kevin, Owen led a team of soldiers and doctors to successfully enter Fengsui City.

The remaining soldiers were temporarily stationed at the dock, responsible for carrying the herbs and other supplies from the battleship, and delivering them to the east gate of Fengsui City to be handed over to the guards there.

The main streets in the city were empty, with not many people in sight.

People with money and means should have fled Fengsui City long ago, and most of the people who stayed behind were ordinary civilians.

Since the entire Fengsuicheng City was blocked, many commodities were unable to flow into the city, causing the prices of various survival supplies, including food, to skyrocket.

Deep in a hidden alley, black marketeers who are bold and unafraid of death are secretly selling partially moldy wheat at high prices, hoping to make a fortune from this plague.

Baron Kevin led Owen and his party to the medical point while explaining in detail the process of the plague outbreak.

The plague first appeared in a dark and humid slum area in the western district of Fengsui City, where several scantily clad beggars fell ill.

At that time, no one paid much attention to this matter. They just thought that the dirty beggars had eaten something dirty and went about their lives as usual.

A few days later, more and more patients with similar symptoms appeared in the slum area, which attracted everyone's attention.

Duke Leman issued an urgent order to send troops to blockade the slum area and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

Unfortunately, this blockade measure was too late, and the plague had already spread beyond the wooden shack area.

Moreover, Duke Lyman's approach was very inhumane. He only closed the people living there without providing any other assistance, completely disregarding the life and death of the people inside.

In order to survive, the people inside tried every means to escape, which intensified the spread of the plague.

Continuously, the plague broke out in many places in Xicheng District, and many residents showed symptoms.

The number of patients continues to increase, and there are also deaths.

In desperation, Duke Leman issued another order to expand the blockade area to the entire West City.

At this time, news of the plague had been spreading in Fengsui City, causing panic among the people. Many people fled one after another to stay away from the plague.

Within a few days, civilians infected with the plague were also discovered outside Xicheng District.

Seeing that the plague could not be controlled, Duke Leman panicked, fearing that he would also be infected. He simply ordered the entire city to be sealed off, and then fled the city with other nobles to take refuge, leaving the task of dealing with the plague to the city hall.

At the beginning, Fengsuicheng and the city hall fell into chaos. A large number of civilians gathered behind the city gate, demanding that the city gate be opened and trying to escape from this hell.

Fortunately, Baron Kevin did not run away like other nobles.

He first stabilized the city hall and set up multiple medical points so that patients could be concentrated there for treatment.

Immediately afterwards, he gave a speech in front of the restless people, vowing that he would never run away, but would stay and tide over the difficulties with everyone.

This was able to stabilize the people's hearts, and the gathered civilians dispersed.

Unfortunately, Baron Kevin has failed to deal with the plague so far. The number of patients has only increased, more and more patients have died, and the uneasiness of the people in the city has reappeared.

If this continues, there may be riots.

After roughly understanding the situation, Irving asked Baron Kevin a few questions to find out what epidemic prevention measures he was currently taking, how to ensure the survival needs of the residents in the city, etc.

We came to the church where the most patients were received.

Baron Kevin immediately sent someone to call the current person in charge of the church and introduced him: "This is the new king of our Kingdom of Morning Light."

Hearing this, the person in charge of the church opened his eyes in shock. Although he was surprised by the other party's dress, he still hurriedly touched his chest and saluted.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, I am the person in charge here, Archbishop's deputy Andy."

"Deputy?" Owen frowned slightly, "Where is your archbishop?"

"Unfortunately, the archbishop contracted the plague. His condition worsened as he was old and frail, and he passed away three days ago."

When answering, Andy's eyes revealed sadness.

"What about Angelica?" Owen asked again.

You must know that the rescue letter was written by Angelica in Fengsui City to Owen through the channels of the Intelligence Bureau.

Logically speaking, if the archbishop falls, she, who has the highest status, should take over the church.

Andy closed his eyes and said sadly: "Ms. Shia... She was also unfortunately infected with the plague."

A Pegasus knight captain as powerful as Angelica was actually infected. This plague was indeed terrible, and Owen couldn't help but be surprised.

"What?!" Marpel, who was behind her, stepped forward anxiously, "How is she doing now? Take us to see her quickly."

"Don't worry, Mapel." Owen raised his hand and said.

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

Realizing that she was impatient, Mapel bowed her head and retreated in shame.

"You guys are on standby here." Owen turned to the soldiers and told them.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.

Then, Owen looked at Baron Kevin and said, "The ten doctors I brought will be left to you. Wherever there is a shortage of people, arrange for them to go over and help."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Baron Kevin nodded.

Finally, Owen said to Andy: "Please take us to visit Angelica. I want to know how her current condition is."

"Okay, Your Majesty, please come with me."

Under the leadership of Andy, Owen, Mapel and Viscount Jarvis entered the church.

In front of the door of a separate room inside, Andy stopped, turned around and said to the three Owens: "Ms. Shia is receiving treatment in this room."

Opening the door, the four of them entered one after another.

The room was not large in size and the furnishings were simple. There was a simple bed in the corner, and Angelica was lying on it.

Walking to the bed, Owen pulled up a stool and sat down.

Angelica was wearing light clothes and a thick quilt, her blond hair was loose, her cheeks were red due to heat, her breathing was rapid, there was some sweat on her forehead, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was in some pain.

She was already beautiful, but now she has a soft beauty that was not seen before, which makes people feel distressed and loving when looking at her.

Sensing someone coming, Angelica slowly opened her eyes and saw a strange man wrapped up tightly and wearing goggles sitting beside the bed.

"Who is it?" she asked weakly.

"It's me." Owen responded.

Hearing the familiar voice, the sick Angelica was confused for a while before she suddenly reacted. She was so shocked that she wanted to sit up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?!"

Although the letter asking for help was written by her, she never expected that Owen would come to Fengsuicheng in person.

This was a place where the plague broke out. How could the king personally be in danger? Didn't the people around him try to dissuade him?

"No need to get up." Owen reached out and pressed Angelica's shoulders, "Just lie down."

It was difficult to get up, but Angelica was not polite and simply lay on the bed and talked to Owen.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be here."

Seeing that Angelica's condition was not serious, Owen felt a little relieved.

He took his hand back and said half-jokingly: "I forced myself to come here. Now you want to persuade me to go back? It's already too late!"

Angelica couldn't help but smile when she thought of the man in front of her who even dared to challenge the super powerful Black Dragon King.

"I think so. No one can stop what you have decided."

"Don't worry." Owen then said in a serious tone, "I will find a way to cure you, as well as all the patients in Fengsu City, and lead everyone to defeat this plague."

"Oh? You can also treat diseases?"

Angelica looked at Owen in surprise. The man in front of her seemed to know everything. This was so amazing.

"Of course, please believe me." Owen said confidently.

"I believe you are."

"Then you have a good rest." Owen reached out and patted Angelica on the shoulder, "I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, Owen stood up, turned around and walked outside.

Before leaving, Mapel moved closer and whispered: "Angelica, you need to take good care of yourself."

After everyone left, Angelica stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to help but think of the man she had just opened her eyes and the conversation that had just ended.

Oops! I almost fell in love with Owen again. Why is this man so good? No! My heart belongs to Lady Freya Lutis!

Next, it’s time to check the patient’s symptoms and gradually figure out what this plague is all about.

Owen and his team came to the overcrowded medical room and met Baron Kevin.

Before approaching the patient, Baron Kevin still asked uneasily: "Your Majesty, do you really want to contact the patient? Can't you just leave this matter to the doctor?"

"How can you treat the patients if you don't check them? I have to check them myself." Irving insisted on his approach, "Don't worry, I understand medicine and I have also taken protective measures."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and showed off all the protective equipment, gloves, goggles, etc. he had on him.

At this point, Baron Kevin knew that any dissuasion was useless and could only let the king go to examine the patient.

Walking to one of the patients, Owen asked Winster in his mind.
