Chapter 768 The Fall

Judith, the previous head of the Mariel family, died in battle in the Dragon's Back Mountains, while his eldest son, Hernan, was accidentally poisoned to death by the Blood Moon Society at Ilea's birthday party. On the head of Dieter's youngest son Perls.

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

In normal times, this is not a big problem. After all, although Judith died, he left a lot of inheritance. In addition to a large amount of golden lions, there are 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 region fell into turmoil. At this time, one wrong step could be fatal, so Perls' old problem of indecision was repeated.

Hesitating between the Yi tribe and the rebels, on the one hand, he felt that it was a bit shameful to surrender just like that, and kept in touch with Ilea all the time, but on the other hand, he believed that it was not right to hope that God's punishment would be sent down on Saturday to defeat those Yi tribe. Reality.

Seeing that the army led by Solomon had already begun to attack the western border, Perls still failed to make a decision, which made many people under his command go crazy.

Fortunately, the tragedy that happened in Pine Rock Fort finally brought Perls back to his senses. Finally, he opened the gate of the city before Solomon and his army arrived, and reluctantly donated all the savings of the family.

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 Mariel 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.

Perls couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly again, worrying that Solomon would come to settle accounts with him after the end of the war in the western region.

He suffered from insomnia all night, and his head was 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 asked everyone to wake up and asked them to pack their things immediately, and the castle was full 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.

The last request was somewhat inexplicable, but Perls still sent someone to carry it out immediately.

No way, ever since the Marier family surrendered to Solomon, they no longer had the final say on the city of the lake, and they didn't even dare to complain when they were kicked out of their own castle, Perls, in the middle of the night.

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 is 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, he could not help but be executed immediately on the spot.

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 figures flying towards the city in the lake from the western sky, but they did not come back calmly, their formation was 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 didn't dare to look any further, retracted his head, and began to pray to Picia.

…………

Until the next morning, the gate of Lake City was still closed, and there was still no one on the street.

The expropriated aristocratic mansion was already full of Yi tribe people, and the beds were long gone, and more people could only lie on the straw.

At this moment, they are extremely weak. Some are coughing, some are vomiting, and some are convulsing, with their necks twisted into strange postures.

The physical pain is second to none. After all, they are all elite warriors of various tribes, and they are not afraid of death even in the face of death.

The real horror comes from the unknown.

This strange strange disease had appeared about seven days ago.

Not many people cared at first.

Until it starts to spread in the army, some people have more severe symptoms, and some people have milder reactions, but this does not mean that people with mild reactions can start to rejoice.

The first centurion to die, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body before he died, but he died suddenly in the tent.

In the next two days, more than a dozen people died, and most of them were officers.

Then more and more people in the army contracted strange diseases, Solomon immediately paid attention to them, and after checking those patients, he found that the symptoms of many of them were similar to those of Lanita who had been sent back by the Shuangxiu Church before. It's very similar.

This made Solomon's heart sink, and he thought of the ridiculous warning that the young Hugh named Leidio had brought not long ago.

And he wasn't the only one who thought of that warning. As more and more people suffered from strange diseases, the Yi people began to worry that Saturday would really bring down divine punishment on them.

Solomon dealt with a few "rumormongers" and calmed down the matter a little, but with the increase of the dead, the widespread spread of rumors is almost inevitable.

In addition, Solomon also noticed one thing, that is, except for them, the winged people, whether it is dwarves, half-orcs or humans, even the people who came from Lionheart Castle with them, none of them are as infected as they are. 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? !
It's Saturday punishing the continent's invaders.
