Standing on the comfortable and spacious balcony, looking at the endless flow of people outside the palace, Dennis fell into sweet and painful memories...
She blames herself for not being able to order Boris back earlier, leaving him to freeze and suffer on the Great Wall, so that he eventually disappeared due to a mission abroad. She is even more painful that she was once a queen and is now a queen. That's right.
It was these that blocked all her true yearning for love. However, in addition to these, there was another pain that has been lingering in her heart. It was a heart that she could not overcome... that is, as a queen, as a family woman
A person who falls in love with someone else... From every aspect, it's all his fault.
However, right or wrong is no longer important. What happened is already a fact and cannot be changed or undone.
News from my father came from the north - he dismissed Yelich, the mayor of Elengrad, and directly appointed Alvis as the new mayor of Port City... Appointing a dwarf as the mayor, even if it is just an acting mayor, this
This is unheard of in the history of Kislev. However, this is what he did... His father's approach was always different from others.
…
Walking in the streets full of smoke, Rhodes felt heavy. On the way here, he had imagined the situation in Elengrad after the outbreak, but when he actually came to the scene, the scene was more terrifying and cruel than imagined.
In the central urban area where the plague spread most severely, hundreds of residents died without any body parts, their homes were abandoned, and crazy citizens set fire to their houses at night. The fire brigade had no time to deal with the fires that broke out everywhere until early morning.
The streets are already charred ruins.
Those dead residents, without exception, had body ulcers, facial swelling, disgusting pus constantly seeping out from those ulcers, and cutting into the bluish skin revealed melted internal organs...
This was the first time for Rhodes to see such a terrifying plague. Alves looked through the Great Library of Kislev, but could not find any historical records about this symptom. Finally, with the help of Imperial scholars, he found it
There are bits and pieces of records about this disease. Thirteen hundred years ago, a terrible plague broke out in the empire. This plague caused the loss of two-thirds of the empire's population. The empire has never recovered from the pain of the plague.
In that great plague, there were very few places where similar symptoms of infection appeared. In Alves's description, Rhodes only felt his scalp numb. The horror of the plague was not only its
Its lethality also lies in its transmissibility. Now it seems that the plague that broke out in the center of Orengrad was extremely transmissible. In just two months, more than 2,000 people were infected, and
The route of transmission is unknown.
The great plague that broke out in the empire that year was not only due to the poor health problems in the civilian areas of the empire itself, but also had a deeper reason, which was poisoning by ratmen. Now, after the reconstruction of Oerengrad, the health problems have been greatly improved.
There has been a huge improvement, so the theory that the disease spread due to hygiene problems is almost untenable. The only explanation seems to be the latter. However, Rhodes has no time to investigate the reasons behind this at the moment.
As for the transmission route, although it is not clear yet, Rhodes knows that all viruses and bacteria undoubtedly have only a few transmission routes, either contact transmission, blood transmission, or air transmission. With the epidemic prevention methods of this era, if it is airborne transmission, I am afraid that Eron
Grad is already a dead city. However, there are many infected people, and the spread is not slow. It is most likely spread through contact. The most effective way is to isolate.
As the economic center of Kislev, Oerengrad cannot fall. Once it falls, fragile Kislev will also collapse. Then, his dream of becoming an industrial power will also come to naught.
Almost as soon as he arrived in Oerengrad, Germany ordered the army to seal the city. Not only domestic merchants and citizens were unable to enter and exit the city, but also foreign merchants, students, and tourists were all sealed in the city.
Complaints came in overwhelmingly, but Rhodes was not moved at all. Special times require special treatment. The lethality of plague is actually far greater than war and natural disasters. An earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption will kill and injure an entire area.
residents. Once the plague spreads, it will be a worldwide disaster. If it spreads from ten to ten, it will cause far more damage than war. There are less than forty years before the end of the world. If this period is earlier
There will be a catastrophe, and the Chaos invasion may not be possible in advance.
"Brando, the envoy of Aviland in Hong Kong, threatened us. If we don't let him go within three days, he will write a letter to the emperor, accusing us of kidnapping him and restricting his personal freedom..."
Alves thought.
"Let him go. Even if the emperor himself comes, I will not let him go. Don't say three days, if necessary, I will lock him up for three years!"
Rhodes' voice is as cold as ice, so things that are not understood will eventually be understood. Rhodes believes that Emperor Louis Bode is a wise monarch. Of course, it doesn't matter what the emperor thinks. Rhodes knows that the important thing is
What do the various electors of the empire think? The real power of the empire is actually in the hands of these people.
Of course, no matter what, the city blockade cannot be lifted, and there is no room for negotiation. Before the plague is lifted, Erengrad will become an isolated city. Fortunately, because it has experienced several large-scale civil wars before, Erengrad
There is a super large underground warehouse that stores tens of thousands of grains. Although these dry grains purchased from farmers at low prices have sacrificed the interests of the farmers, at this moment, they have become the lifeblood of tens of thousands of residents in the city.
rations.
The cost of closing the city is huge, and the measures are even more severe. Except for medical staff, no one is allowed to enter or exit the city. Within a few months, this economically important town of Kislev will be without food. Rhodes knows that,
Kislev's financial pressure is back again...
However, no matter what, the situation is better than during the civil war. At least, the entire Kislev is still stable, with no internal consumption, and the high degree of centralization after the great purge can allow materials and personnel to be transported to the front line efficiently.
Yes, there are no swords and swords, but at this moment, Elengrad is the front line of the battle. Rhodes knows that at this moment, what should be most wary of is actually the power of the evil god in the city. When fear spreads in the city, there is no way out.
Citizens often end up taking refuge in an evil god - Nurgle.
