Working Prophet

The previous head of the Malir family, Judit, died in the Dragon's Back Mountains in battle, and his eldest son Hernan was accidentally poisoned by the Blood Moon Society at Ilea's birthday party. The position of head of the family finally fell to You On the head of Dieter's youngest son Perls.

Compared with his arrogant elder brother, Pers is undoubtedly much more humble. He is very good at listening to the opinions of advisors and vassals, but this also makes Pers a little indecisive.

In normal times, this would not be a big problem. After all, although Judith died, he also left a lot of legacy. In addition to a large sum of golden lions, there were also resourceful counselors and brave vassals.

With their help, Perls did not have much difficulty in taking over Lake City.

However, not long after he became the head of the family, the Western Territory fell into turmoil. At this time, one wrong step might lead to disaster, so Perls' old habit of being indecisive relapsed.

Hesitating between the Wing Tribe and the rebels, on the one hand he felt it was a bit embarrassing to surrender like this, and kept in touch with Ilea through letters, but on the other hand, he felt that it was not enough to hope that divine punishment would be unleashed on Saturday to defeat the Wing Tribe. Reality.

Seeing that the army led by Solomon had begun to attack the Western Territory, Perls still failed to make a decision, which made many of his subordinates go crazy with anxiety.

Fortunately, the tragedy that happened at Pine Rock Castle finally made Perls come back to his senses. He finally opened the city gate before Solomon and his army arrived, and reluctantly donated all his family's savings.

Perls even had his family's silver dinner plates packed, so that he couldn't find anyone to serve them at night.

His humble gesture saved the lives of the Malir family and tens of thousands of people in the city. However, Perls didn't know if it was because he surrendered too late. Although Solomon accepted the goods he offered, he did not. Summon him.

In fact, the army only stayed in the lake city for half a day before continuing to march.

Pers couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but start thinking wildly again, worried that Solomon would come to settle accounts with him after the war in the west was over.

He suffered from insomnia all night, and his head felt groggy the next day. He wanted to go to bed early at night, but not long after he went to bed, Perls was awakened by the movement outside the window.

The new city lord of Lake City opened his eyes and saw a Yi clansman standing in front of his bed.

Speaking in broken Continental, the man demanded that he hand over the castle immediately and drive everyone out, including himself.

Before Perls could answer, he spread his wings and flew out of the window.

Afterwards, he visited dozens of nobles and asked them to empty their mansions.

Then he returned to the castle again. At this time, Perls had people wake up everyone and asked them to pack their things immediately. The castle was in a state of chaos.

Perls originally planned to live temporarily in a manor outside the city, but then the Yi clansman ordered him to close the city gate tightly and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At the same time, all the residents in the city were required to go back to their homes, close the doors and windows, and not allow them to look outside.

This last request was a bit inexplicable, but Perls sent someone to implement it immediately.

There was no way, ever since the Malir family surrendered to Solomon, they no longer had the final say in Lake City. Even Pers, who was kicked out of his own castle in the middle of the night, didn't dare to complain.

Soon, there was no one to be seen on the streets of the city, and even the drunks were dragged into the dungeons of the garrison by the patrolling guards and locked up temporarily.

The city in the lake at night was as quiet as a tomb.

Mariel found several inns to temporarily house the clansmen and servants in the castle.

And he just entered the hotel with his front feet, and several groups of Yi tribesmen arrived behind him. They hovered over the town, looking for those who hadn't returned home.

Once discovered, they will be executed on the spot without any explanation.

In addition, those places that did not close the doors and windows according to the order will also welcome their patronage and kill everyone inside.

But there are still people who are bold enough to look out through the gaps in the doors and windows.

He saw thousands of black shadows flying towards Lake City from the western sky, but they were no longer as calm as when they came back. Their formations were scattered, as if they were being chased by something.

There were even black shadows flying and falling from the sky suddenly, like kites with broken strings.

Many of the remaining people were also struggling to fly, and they all had people on their backs, which were robes that had lost their ability to fly.

The witness did not dare to look any further, retracted his head, and began to pray to Pisiya.

…………

Until early the next morning, the gate of Lake City was still closed, and there was still not a single soul on the street.

The requisitioned aristocratic mansion was already full of people from the Yi clan, and the beds were no longer enough, so more people could only lie on straw.

At this moment, they were extremely weak. Some were coughing, some were vomiting, and some were convulsing, with their necks twisted in weird postures.

The physical pain is secondary. After all, they are elite warriors from various tribes, and they are not afraid even in the face of death.

The real terror comes from the unknown.

This strange disease appeared about seven days ago.

Not many people cared at first.

Until it started to spread among the army, some people had more severe symptoms, and some people had milder reactions, but this does not mean that people with mild reactions can start to feel lucky.

The first centurion to die did not feel any physical discomfort before his death, but he died suddenly in the tent.

Over the next two days, a dozen more people died, mostly military officers.

Then more and more people in the army were infected with strange diseases, and Solomon immediately paid attention to it. After checking those patients, he found that many of their symptoms were similar to those of Lanita who had been sent back during the weekend. It's very similar.

This made Solomon's heart sink. He thought of the ridiculous warning that the young monk named Redio had brought not long ago.

And he was not the only one to think of that warning. As more and more people were suffering from strange diseases, the Wing Clan people began to worry that Saturday had really sent down divine punishment on them.

Solomon dealt with a few "rumormongers" and calmed the matter down a bit, but as the number of dead increased, widespread spread of rumors was almost inevitable.

In addition, Solomon also noticed one thing, that is, except for the Winged Tribesmen, no one was infected like them, whether they were dwarves, half-orcs or humans, even those who came from Lionheart Castle with them. This terrible strange disease.

So those two terrifying words came to Solomon's mind again - curse.

Could it be that all this is really the so-called divine punishment? !

This is Saturday punishing the invaders of this continent.
