The gathering of the Heavenly Punishers turned into a melee with civilians. In the early stages of the melee, the Heavenly Punishers had a crushing advantage.
Compared with soldiers, the Heavenly Punishers are vulnerable to a single blow, but in front of civilians, their combat effectiveness is quite impressive. Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Punishers do not use weapons with sharp edges, otherwise they will violate the law, but everyone has one in their hands.
Sticks are enough to beat civilians to pieces.
But not long after, the Heavenly Punishers also showed some symptoms. Although the leader had warned them not to touch the food of civilians, their life was not easy either. Their daily rations could only barely fill their stomachs, and they did not dare to go
Wen Na received food from him. Faced with such rich food at the gathering, it was reasonable to steal a bite or two.
But even though both sides endured the pain of food poisoning, the melee continued. The civilians were venting their long-simmering anger, while the Punishers were maintaining their last dignity.
Nipoli knew about this conflict early on, but he did not report it to Reggie because he deliberately wanted to make the matter bigger. He had used so many scheming and means to wait until this moment. If no one shed blood or even died,
This conspiracy is too worthless.
Reggie, who had been discussing government affairs with Wen Na, did not receive the news until dusk. By the time he arrived at the scene, the conflict had already caused hundreds of casualties.
This is not the point. Severe food poisoning caused some people to suffer from dehydration and high fever, and some people even fell into coma. As Reggie feared, both Nipoli and Modesa went too far.
Severe bacterial infection may lead to plague.
Reggie asked a messenger to send a message to Imma, asking her to bring enough doctors and medicines and rush to Zhilin City immediately.
Nipoli didn't want Reggie to be so impatient, and he wanted to further escalate the situation.
"Sir, it is too early to send out doctors. The hatred of the common people against the God of Punishment is not deep enough."
Reggie said angrily: "You know the consequences of the plague. Zhilin City can no longer bear such devastation."
"Only by allowing civilians to fully feel the pain can we cherish the hard-won happiness," Nipoli urged, "Sir, I have endured unimaginable pain for others, which makes me cherish the trust and trust you have given me.
glory."
"Zhilin City has already endured too much pain." Reggie decisively rejected Nipoli's suggestion. Imma found Zhilin City at noon the next day, and Wenna took all the sick people into her own care.
In the manor, in the next few days, she watched over the patients day and night, provided all possible help to the doctors, and did not let a single patient step out of the manor.
With effective treatment and effective isolation, Imma and Wenna jointly prevented a disaster. And Reggie did not criticize Nipoli and Modesa. After this storm, the civilians gradually accepted Wenna, and Tian
The Punishers quietly left Zhilin City before Reggie arrested them.
Two days later, the second batch of food from Suixue City was delivered. When Wenna distributed food in the square again, people lined up early.
After receiving the flour, a young girl saluted Wen Na and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Wen Na shook her head and said: "I am no longer your lord. I am the consul of Zhilin City. Your lord is Lord Reginald Victor."
The girl turned to look at Reggie, bowed hastily, then turned and left.
Reggie curled his lips and said: "Whether you like it or not, I am your lord!"
It seems that Nipoli is right. If the epidemic spreads and some civilians die from the plague, and Reggie asks doctors to save him, he will immediately become an angel in Zhilin City.
But this touched Reggie's bottom line. Reggie couldn't allow himself to create a plague with his own hands. Even if he couldn't get the love of his people, it didn't matter. At least he wouldn't be awakened by nightmares while sleeping.
The food was delivered, and the cotton cloth from Drawing City was also purchased. This city that is good at spinning did not disappoint Reggie. The collected cotton cloth was enough to meet the needs of Xuecheng and Zhilin City.
"Send the cotton cloth, bring the bacon, bring the coal, and bring some wine," Reggie said with a smile, "let Zhilin City have a warm and happy winter."
This was Reggie's promise to Edwina, but it was once again opposed by Nipoli.
"I'm sorry, sir, we can't continue to provide free assistance to Zhilin City. Except for food, we can no longer provide anything for free. All goods need to be purchased by civilians."
Nipoli's suggestion disappointed Wenna and made Reggie a little embarrassed.
"My mermaid, you know the situation in Zhilin City. The residents outside the city still have some grain and grapes that can be exchanged for money, but the residents in the city no longer have any source of income."
"Because of this, they must learn to make money. Only those who can make money are qualified to enjoy happiness."
"But..." Reggie frowned, "Winter is coming, we have to let them have a decent New Year."
Nipoli said: "Sir, if you want to build a refugee camp, you have done enough. You provide free food, and even the laziest people have a chance to survive. But if you hope that the fragrance of powder can defeat the winter,
In the cold wind, you must let the people of Zhilin City learn to survive again."
Nipoli's words left Reggie unable to argue. After a long silence, Edwina finally spoke: "Mr. Mermaid is right. Not only the people must learn to survive, but I also need to learn to survive. Sir, thank you for your help.
Please let me do the next thing by myself."
…
Although he was a little worried, as Nipoli said, Reggie had done enough. The Rose Princess of Zhilin City was not suitable to grow in a greenhouse. She should be exuding a proud fragrance in the cold wind.
Of course, some basic protection measures are still very necessary. Wenna is not good at war, but Zhilin City and Jinguang City border, and Reggie is going to transfer Roland's third army to guard the border. There are also the three elders, although they
You have suffered a loss, but there is still the possibility of turning around at any time. Although the Punishers have left, these cockroach-like creatures can make a comeback as long as they are given a chance. Reggie plans to leave a team of capable guards for Wenna.
It can not only protect her safety, but also monitor those restless guys.
There were still many things to be reminded, so Reggie wrote a memo in the bedroom to remind Wenna in critical moments.
He picked up the pen after dinner and never put it down until late at night. Reggie wrote several pages full, but he still felt that many things had been missed.
This memorandum not only contains the protection of the territory, but also the concern for Wenna. As an outstanding lord, Wenna is not inferior to Reggie in many aspects, but there is a difficulty between Reggie and Wenna.
The feelings described are not so clear but not vague at all. This feeling makes Reggie cautious and cautious, even a little bit mother-in-law.
"Is it too wordy? Is she in the mood to read it?" Reggie was worried while looking at the memo, but Wenna opened the door and walked into his room.
She was wearing a red gauze dress with rose petals on her face. When she gently raised her red lips to reveal a faint smile, her irresistible charm almost made Reggie lose his breath.
"Sir, I thought carefully about Mr. Mermaid's words. The people of Zhilin City really need to relearn how to survive." Wenna came to Reggie, sat on Reggie's knee, and held Reggie's hand.
, said softly, "The people of Kezhilin City are accustomed to the original way of life. I think returning to the old business is our best choice. For this reason, I want to set an example for the girls. First, I will come here to find a wife."
business."
Reggie swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you going to...let me do this?"
Wen Na pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "My lord, you have to pay first."
She took out a gold coin from Reggie's pocket, let it slide into the clothes along the collar, then came to Reggie's ear, and said softly: "You have paid, starting from tonight, everything is mine."
