Chapter 141 War Epidemic

The unheard-of brand-new tactics caused the unprepared followers of Nurgle to suffer a complete defeat.

As the rear crossbowmen stopped firing, the shield-wielding crossbowmen who had advanced to the top of the mountain and were less than a hundred meters away from the Nurgle followers took their positions.

"Distance of 100, three shots in a row!"

The result of three hundred people firing crossbow bolts at the same time was that more than nine hundred ignited crossbow bolts flew into the ranks of Nurgle's followers.

They were already blown up by the crossbows and couldn't hold their heads up, but they were completely stunned by the blows of the serial crossbowmen. The crossbow bolts fired by the serial crossbows may not be threatening in themselves, but the detonating talisman on them is no joke. Nine hundred of them

After the crossbow bolt exploded, there were only a few followers of Nurgle who could still stand up intact.

In order to avoid the bombing, they huddled in the woods on the top of the mountain and inadvertently allowed the crossbow arrows to exert their maximum effect.

As the repeater ended his attack, the close-quarters fighting soon began. It was almost a one-sided massacre. The only opponent Carter encountered was the Little Unclean One who looked like the 'Great Unclean One', but the opponent

It was unlucky to be attacked by an exploding crossbow bolt. Half of its body was blown up and left him paralyzed. Its confused eyes showed that it was in a state of confusion. Faced with this situation, there was no reason why Carter could not win.

With the help of continuous artillery fire (if anyone tried to gather the crossbowmen there, a round of exploding crossbow bolts would pass by) it only took more than half an hour to capture all the positions and kill the Nurgle champion and a few remaining survivors.

After getting rid of the 'field monster', the remaining ordinary Nurgle believers are nothing to worry about.

In the end, the Sky Eagle Brigade almost completely wiped out these 5,000 people with less than a hundred total casualties. Most of them were casualties caused by falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in the previous rounds of attacks. On the contrary, Na Na was defeated in close combat.

The Cult followers failed to cause too many casualties to the elves.

Once any army loses its command, its combat effectiveness will decline significantly. Although they believe in chaos, they will fight to the end, but in the face of the fully armed elf-possessed warriors, this kind of unorganized stubborn resistance is just bringing humiliation to themselves.

In order to achieve this victory, Carter did not pay a price. The victory obtained by more than a thousand detonating symbols made him feel a sense of emptiness.

It had to be produced day and night for at least three weeks to a month. Now that it was used up in less than an afternoon in order to win, how could he not feel distressed? This also made him understand that the crossbowman

Although they are easy to use, they cannot be used casually. They can only be used at the most critical times.

After all, each repeating crossbow can hold fifteen rounds of magazines. If a shield-wielding crossbow regiment of 300 people were to shoot them all in one go, that would be 4,500 detonating talismans. Carter now can't even collect them.

come out.

To make a long story short, after clearing the battlefield, setting up firebreaks and leaving a corpse pit burning with raging fire, the members of the Skyhawk Brigade took advantage of the last ray of sunlight to return to the town, and unknowingly killed tens of thousands of chaotic creatures.

freed from the encirclement crisis.

This time the Skyhawk Brigade's siege and ambush had completely different results for both sides.

The elves in the south of Nagaryth successfully opened up the first stronghold of the Safe Corridor. The next day, Tal-Zrowder sent reinforcements to help the Sky Eagle Brigade consolidate this stronghold, and also sent an archmage who was proficient in the wind of life.

come over.

When the Chaos troops in the south of Nagareth learned the news that more than 8,000 people of 'Rister, Champion of Nurgle' had been annihilated, although most of them rushed over to rejoice and gloat at the first time, they were also made to understand.

It was not a good idea to disperse the elves too much, so in the next few days, several larger war groups began to collect the scattered troops and quickly formed a powerful Chaos Legion. These legions numbered at least 10,000 people.

The largest number of people was nearly 30,000.

However, there are also exceptions, that is, the "Supreme Eagle Order" with less than 500 members. Followers of Tzeentch. If there is anything special about these believers of Tzeentch, who are shrouded in dark cloaks, it is probably that all of them are

The members are all magicians.

It has been almost half a year since Carter came to the Warhammer world. The believers of the Four Gods have killed almost all of them, except for the believers of Tzeentch.

………………

The virus released by Nurgle was quite vicious, but its main target was the elves. Therefore, after more than a day of research, the female archmage of the wind of life successfully held a ceremony to purify the polluted river, which almost made Tal

- Carter was relieved as Jodel asked for fresh water replenishment.

However, for the sake of safety, Carter still asked his men to boil it before drinking it. He also told this suggestion to the friendly forces who came to support, more than 2,000 new recruits commanded by a company of the Eagle Legion as the backbone.

Since both Carter and the right army who came to support were once comrades of the Eagle Legion, and the mage also confirmed that boiled fresh water is safer, this suggestion was adopted as a matter of course.

The future Shadow King Aris-Annar, who was far away in Tal-Zhoder, also received Carter's proposal.

"Yes, this method will be sent to the transmission room immediately, and the mage will notify the Eternal Queen's Palace of this discovery through magical communication means. I hope that the growing epidemic in the Inner Ring Kingdom can be curbed through this method."

As a member of the senior leadership of the Kingdom of Nagaries, he had long known about the occurrence of plagues and epidemics in major cities in the Inner Ring Kingdom, but he did not make the news public to avoid meaningless panic.

Because the Nurglings of the Plague Lord released the virus at the source of the water source, the Inner Circle mages who were unaware of this were never able to completely eradicate the virus in the river. This also led to the once cured plague appearing repeatedly in the Inner Circle Kingdom.

, constantly engaged in a tug-of-war with the life mages, coupled with the fact that Nurglings appear from time to time in the mountains at the source of the water through small portals, dropping new viruses, this process becomes even more painful.

With the exception of Caledor, the five inner ring kingdoms are all locked in an arduous battle against the disease. More than two dozen large cities are almost paralyzed, and a large number of people have fled to the countryside, making the already slow mobilization operation even slower.

, this is one of the reasons why the Eternal Queen ordered the Outer Ring Kingdom to withdraw to the Inner Ring. The disease is slowing down war preparations and gradually eroding the confidence of the people in the Inner Ring. If this problem is not completely solved, the Inner Ring Kingdom will never be able to organize itself.

At first, the mages of Avalon dismissed the 'boil water' method sent by Aris-Annal, the grandson of the ruling prince and a noble of Nagaris. However, the Eternal Queen, who was in trouble, had already ordered that no matter what method,

They had an order to try, so they just had the idea of ​​giving it a try and boiled the virus-contaminated water source for a few animals to drink.

Although Nurgling's virus mainly targets elves, it can affect any living creature, and the difference in effect is strong or weak.

The results of this experiment were quite gratifying. The animals that drank the boiled water did not show any symptoms after several days of observation. This finding was immediately reported to the Eternal Queen. After personally testing the effect, the Eternal Queen immediately notified all parties where the disease was raging.

Big cities use this method.

Since the virus spread by Nurgling is mainly spread through water, boiling water quickly suppressed the number of infections, buying time for the mages and scholars of the Inner Ring Kingdom to develop an antidote.

The elves are quite advanced in the knowledge of people's livelihood. After the pressure of suppressing the number of infected people was greatly reduced, mages and scholars quickly developed various special medicines and saved tens of thousands of patients who were deeply ill. They all recovered and escaped soon after.

People who went to the countryside also returned to the big cities after learning that the disease was under control, and various preparations that had almost stalled were once again put on the agenda.

As the first inventor of the 'boil water' method, Carter's name came into the sight of the Eternal Queen along with the noble application form sent by Aris.

"The reward is due. Grant Prince Aris' application, and let the local Aisha priest give him a blessing! I haven't seen such a talented person with both civil and military talents for a long time."

The Eternal Queen Astariel, who is located in the Eden Valley of Avalon, is Elsa's chosen god. She exudes natural light almost all the time. Wherever she goes, she is a scene of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers coming to life. Her figure is well-proportioned and slender.

, with a height of over 1.85 meters, which is considered tall among female elves.

"Yes, my queen."

"What else is there to do next?"

"My queen, that's probably all there is to do today, but there is a rather bad rumor coming from the Kingdom of Itaien."

"What news?"

The Eternal Queen sitting in the courtyard was bathed in the sunshine. After hearing that the transaction was completed, she took the arm of her maid, pulled her into her arms and carefully felt her softness.

This move made the originally serious head maid blush immediately, and her cute gesture made the Eternal Queen Astariel taste her lips carefully.

"Ugh...according to the news from the local 'Aisha Priest' in Lothern, a businessman took advantage of the large-scale exodus of people to sell their houses, and deliberately bought them at a low price, and then raised the price when the people returned to the city and were in urgent need of housing.

Sold at a high price, this malicious price speculation allowed him to earn a large amount of assets, which also aroused constant complaints from the local people and led to several demonstrations."

"Hmph, this kind of villain is really not worthy of being an Assur. Launch an investigation immediately. Once his evil deeds are found to be true, let the local officials arrest him and put him on trial!"

After hearing the description, the clever Eternal Queen immediately understood the cause and effect.

"But my queen, although he is suspected of maliciously speculating on housing prices, in theory he has not broken any laws, and he disappeared after selling the property in his hand... ugh..."

"How cunning..."
