Under the light of the fire, a tactical sand table showed the various forces clearly. It could be seen that this sand table basically covered the entire territory of the Bailey Empire, and used different color models to mark the basic situation of the various forces of the empire. Sounds of Nature
Among them, the yellow model representing the imperial family was basically concentrated near the imperial capital, while the purple model representing the Great Victory King surrounded the imperial capital. On the one hand, it besieged the imperial family's forces, and on the other hand, it prevented the forces of other empires from converging with the imperial family's troops. This policy was simple and crude, but without the experts in the Great Victory King's army, as well as the strong troops, it would be difficult to achieve.
As for the southern border of the empire, the gray model representing the Iron Spear Ridge and the brown model of the imperial hall were still eye-catching. Especially the Iron Spear Ridge. This area should have been captured long ago, but King Ji Wu was dead. Now that the army's morale was high, it had been a long time since they had captured this territory.
Ping Xi Wang rubbed his eyebrows. After the death of King Ji Wu, through the Great Victory King, he had successfully taken over the command of King Ji Wu's old subordinates. However, those old subordinates of King Ping Xi Wang always obeyed his orders, especially King Ping Xi Wang's confidant, Yu Mu, who had repeatedly created obstacles in his way, making it difficult for King Ping Xi Wang to use his military power.
Every time he thought of this, Ping Xi Wang's teeth itched with hatred. But now that the Great Victory King was concentrating his troops to break through the imperial capital, even if he was indignant, he knew that he could not disturb the king too much at this time. Ping Xi Wang had an ambition, but unexpectedly, after coming to the Western Continent, he suffered repeated setbacks, and now he no longer had the arrogance he had in the beginning.
His eyes turned to the south of the Iron Spear Ridge, where there were piles of black models. Looking at these models, he thought of the strange race army that suddenly appeared that day, and the man who killed King Ji Wu. Now that area was like a forbidden area in his eyes. As long as the other side did not expand, Ping Xi Wang did not want to take the initiative to attack.
For him, it was more important to take down the Iron Spear Ridge. Otherwise, once the imperial capital was broken, he would not have the face to go back to see his ancestors.
Suddenly, Ping Xi Wang's heart stirred. He felt a burst of panic, as if something terrible was about to happen. Soon after, he heard the sound of rain. A general entered the tent, took off his helmet, and cursed. Under the fire, the general was bathed in blood. Ping Xi Wang's heart skipped a beat and asked anxiously, "What happened to you? How did you get hurt so badly? "
The general laughed aloud and said, "Wangye, don't be nervous, I am fine. It was all because of the rain outside. This barbarian empire was really weird, it actually had a rain of blood. I was drenched by that strange rain. "
"Blood Rain?"
"Yeah." The general opened the tent and said, "Wangye, look, it's raining blood outside. I'm afraid there's something unclean, so I've already told the soldiers to return to their tents, but there are still quite a number of people drenched in blood."
Ping Xi Wang moved toward the tent's entrance and raised his lantern to illuminate the outside. Sure enough, outside the tent, there was a rain of blood, the tent was dyed red. Raising the lantern to take a look, he saw blood tent after blood tent standing in the rain. No matter how he looked at it, he felt uncomfortable.
That night, a blood-colored rain fell on the entire Bailey Gang. From the south to the north, no one was spared. The next day, although the rain had stopped, there was a layer of blood clouds in the sky. The dark red rain cloud gradually moved west in the direction of the Shadow Duchy.
It was daytime, and the people of Iron Spear City were holding buckets of water and pouring buckets of water onto their houses. The rain of blood last night had drenched all the buildings in the city in blood. It was so shocking that it was as if hell had appeared in the human world. Early this morning, the Marquis of Iron Spear ordered the entire city to be cleansed. Apart from the army, all the residents of the city were mobilized. After buckets of water were continuously poured down, the blood that was washed off flowed along the streets into the sewer. The scene could be said to be a true river of blood.
Standing on the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion and looking down, one could see rivers of blood flowing in the city. Hoey frowned with a worried expression. Beside him was Night Shadow Bellekai, one of the Ten Saints. This expert of the Boleyn Family was still dressed like a wandering mercenary, wearing a black battle suit that was convenient for movement. He bit on his opium pipe and said, "What is the Marquis worried about?"
"I've lived for most of my life, but I've never seen a rain of blood like last night. Lord Belle Kai, that's definitely not simple." Hoey said in a deep voice.
Belle put down his pipe and said, "Didn't the Marquis already have all the doctors in the city examine the residents who were drenched in the blood rain? If there's anything unusual, we should know by now."
Hoey sighed, "There are too many incomprehensible things in this world, including this rain of blood. Although the doctors couldn't find anything, I always felt that something was going to happen. "
"Perhaps you're just too worried, Marquis. I think the invaders outside the city are more worthy of attention than a strange rain."
Hoey nodded and said, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Just as the two of them were about to leave the rooftop, a soldier hurriedly ran over and knelt down. "Not good, Marquis. The soldiers in the army suddenly had a fever, and many soldiers have already fallen. "
Just as he finished speaking, a butler-like man walked up and said, "Marquis, there's also a fever in the city. Many residents suddenly have a high fever and are unconscious. The doctors don't seem to be able to do anything about it."
Hoey glanced at Belle Kai, and both of them saw a sense of uneasiness and seriousness in each other's eyes.
However, it wasn't just Spear City that had a fever. Very quickly, Ping Xi Wang also received a report. On the same day, fever appeared in many parts of the empire. More than 40% of the people in the northern and southern regions, large and small cities and towns, suffered from fever. Even the Great Victory King, who was planning to concentrate his troops to attack the emperor, had no choice but to interrupt his plan because of the large number of fever soldiers in the army. All of a sudden, this strange fever spread throughout the country like a plague. The doctors in the empire or the military doctors of the Coiling Dragon Empire were helpless against this strange disease. They tried all sorts of methods, but they were unable to cool down the patient. It was as if the patient's blood was burning on its own. Every patient with a fever had scarlet skin.
Fortunately, after a day, the patient with the fever showed no signs of death apart from a coma. However, this was a huge blow to both the empire and the eastern army.
However, even greater blows began to come one after another.
On the evening of the second day, cries of alarm rang out in Spear City. Hoey, who was in the study, heard the scream and hurriedly opened the door. The butler ran over and shouted, "My lord, you have to come and take a look."
