After hearing that it was to support Billy City's fight against the epidemic, Duke Jibril shook his head and said.
"To tell you the truth, a plague broke out here too, and thousands of people died."
Upon hearing that a plague was also breaking out in Jibril City, Malu turned pale and subconsciously asked.
"Could it be that the main symptoms are diarrhea, accompanied by fever, and eventually death from dehydration?"
Duke Jibril was immediately shocked.
"Do you also have the same symptoms in Billy City?"
Malu nodded.
Both sides fell into a brief silence.
After a long time, Masuo finally said: "There is something fishy about this."
Jibril frowned even deeper and finally spoke.
"Ms. Masuo! You've come here after a long journey, let's take a rest first!"
Masu Mianyou nodded reluctantly.
But when she returned to the Grand Duke's Palace, the cloud on her face instantly disappeared without a trace.
"The situation is simpler than expected."
Naturally, Duke Jibril would not just accept Masuo's words casually. He immediately asked the other nine lords to learn about the situation.
Only then did they discover that the plague had almost spread throughout their area.
It's just a matter of size, but if you look at the royal family's regional main city, it's much better.
The real reason is that the main cities of the royal governors were only built in the later decades, or the scale is naturally not as good as these old nobles, but the city construction is slightly better than these old main cities. In addition, it was established relatively late, and various problems accumulated.
is relatively slow, so the scale of the plague is relatively small and can be easily controlled.
The most important thing is that these governors do not need to love the people as much as the lords do. They only need to ensure the development of their provinces and regions. Faced with this situation, some extreme governors directly moved the people infected with the plague outside the city.
, and then secretly executed them all on a dark and windy night to completely eliminate the source of infection.
Therefore, compared with other areas, these areas under the direct control of the royal family and the governor-general are completely like singing and dancing, and there is no difference at all.
After all, the political achievements of regional development are related to their promotion path, face projects, not to mention, even if there is a large-scale outbreak, it is absolutely impossible to uncover it if it can be concealed.
Some of the ten major lords are already wondering whether this could be a conspiracy by the royal family.
In a huge underground conference room, Jibril sat on the main seat, and there was a crystal ball placed on every other seat.
Soon the crystal ball began to glow, and the figures of the other nine lords were projected from the crystal ball.
"Jibril, what's the matter with you?" one of the lords asked dissatisfied.
Duke Jibril shook his head and said: "I think everyone is aware of this plague. What I mean is that everyone takes a look at the situation in the territories under the rule of other lords and the territories directly under the royal family."
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Azrael couldn't help but asked.
"You should know the Marquis of Medea in Belgium very well!"
Everyone nodded, especially some of the younger lords, who looked salivating.
"The plague has also broken out in the Billy area. The scale is no smaller than mine, but the situation in the Kes area opposite is calm." Jibril said calmly.
"You mean?" Azrael's face couldn't help but change, and everyone's crystal ball projection quickly dimmed. Jibril drank black tea by herself, and soon received the report. Several royal families from the next province
There was no large-scale plague outbreak in the directly-controlled areas.
He had already believed that guess a little bit more in his heart.
About half an hour later, the crystal balls lit up again, and everyone's face looked gloomy and terrifying.
"It's similar here."
"Could it be a plague developed by the royal magicians, specifically targeting our major territories?" Azrael said in surprise.
"It's very possible." Jibril said calmly.
"The conflict between the Billy region and the Kes region has become more and more intense in the past few years. Even if the Marquis of Medea doesn't want to revolt, he probably won't because of Jack Su's propaganda, so he will be affected." A certain projection said with a smile.
It looks like the Marquis Medea is getting happier the more he is exhausted.
"Indeed, I heard that some time ago, the Inquisition directly stepped down to assist the Kes region in attacking the Billy region. The relationship between the two regions has become dire. It is normal for them to be treated as rebels. After all, we have made such big moves recently, and the royal family has taken some action.
It's normal." The projection in the corner said calmly.
"It's difficult!" Jibril said with a frown.
This sentence is agreed by many people.
"How are you all preparing?" Azrael asked proactively.
They are making big moves, and so is the royal family. Now they are competing to see who can prepare faster and get off to a good start first.
After all, anyone who is not a fool can see such a large-scale troop mobilization and material allocation.
"Food is more troublesome. Recently, several mysterious chambers of commerce have been hoarding large amounts of food. It should be the royal family's deliberate conspiracy. Weapons and ordnance are more troublesome. The territory's blacksmith shop cannot keep up with the speed of soldiers' equipment." A certain lord began to collapse.
Bitter water.
Jibril said calmly: "What did the Gorlan rebels say?"
Their ten major lords have begun to make requests to the Gorlan rebels in exchange for mineral deposits for weapons and ordnance. I wonder if they have received a response?
Azrael nodded and said: "I just received a reply yesterday. The Gorlan rebels agreed to our request, but the mineral deposits can only replace two-thirds of the gold coins, and the remainder must be paid in gold coins."
"That's great. If we have the support of Gallan, we should be able to go faster than the royal family."
Jibril shook her head and said: "You are thinking too much. With the support of the Gorlan rebels, our speed is at most the same as that of the royal family. It is still a bit difficult to surpass them."
"Then increase investment and let the Gorlan rebels do more processing to help us create more weapons and ammunition, mainly long guns. This should speed up a lot of production." Someone suggested.
Nowadays, the size of each of the ten major lords' uprising troops is no less than 500,000, so weapons and equipment are the bulk of the effort.
"Okay! I will continue to contact them tomorrow." Azrael said calmly. After all, he was specifically responsible for contacting the Gorlan rebels.
"Not only do we need them to support our ordnance, no matter what happens in this uprising, we will also bring down the Gorlan rebels. With the support of the Gorlan rebels from all over the country, we can definitely catch the royal family off guard, and we will even be said to be weak.
A dead camel is bigger than a horse, and the strength of the Gallan rebels is enough to hold back the main force of the royal family."
