As the surrounding soldiers gradually understood what their captain had said, many of them gathered around them, with no smiles on their faces.
"Sir, are you telling the truth? This is absolutely not a joke..." A soldier's voice began to tremble, and the hands holding the weapon turned white due to excessive force.
"It seems... it seems that Legionnaires' disease usually breaks out after a major battle or a severe famine, and without exception, many people have died before that... Then... Then..." A guard following behind me muttered to himself with his teeth chattering. But his words immediately attracted the attention of all the soldiers.
After a while of silence, the soldiers' eyes gradually changed, and their attention shifted from me to the refugees. Seeing so many red eyes, I was shocked. What was going on? What were they trying to do
"What are you doing? Why are you like this?" I couldn't imagine what else they would do except to kill someone. Although I was worried about my own danger, I definitely wouldn't kill everyone in front of me. Of course, since I caused this incident, I probably couldn't escape having to find a way to solve this problem.
"Sir, Legionnaires' disease is too terrible, we must not let it happen. So we hope that you will let us deal with them... We will take all the responsibility ourselves, you just need to go back to the camp first, just pretend that you don't know about this, it will definitely not affect your future." The officer in charge of the entrance to the military camp said this firmly after seeing my expression. After saying this, he even turned his eyes to the guards around me, and those guards immediately nodded and prepared to drag me away...
"What are you doing here? What do you think this place is? Get out of here. The commander will be back soon. Don't block his way..." An angry shout swept all of us in, and the soldiers who happened to be here were all in a rage. For a moment, all eyes turned to him.
"Ah, isn't this Hanlong? What, are you interested in going out for a walk? It's you, it's okay, it's okay, the adults will get angry at anyone but not you..." Before we could say anything, the guy who was still showing off 1 second ago immediately changed his tone, what a fucking mini chameleon! (Little man + chameleon)
But I heard that Carson is coming back, so I am not in a hurry. I will let him take charge of the matter after he comes, so as to avoid taking responsibility and being the bad guy.
However, the word "panic" will not stop as we wait. As more and more people know about the situation at the gate of the military camp, more soldiers begin to rush to the gate. What started as joining in the fun turned into panic about the refugees at the gate, and then turned into hatred. Finally, the soldiers began to stir under the instigation of some people.
Seeing teams of soldiers changing from casual clothes to fully armed with swords and guns drawn, I quickly began to suppress them in order to control their emotions.
"What's going on? Are they all rebelling? Tell me! What are you planning to do?" While I was busy pacifying the soldiers and asking some junior officers to maintain order, I was startled by an angry roar from behind.
"Sir, it's like this. Hanlong suspects that the refugees will cause an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease here, so the soldiers reacted violently when they found out. Now we can hardly suppress the soldiers below..." Before I turned around, the villain who had rushed back to the barracks earlier had already reported what he heard to Carsent with exaggeration.
"Hanlong, what's going on? Have you found any problem?" When Carsen saw that it was me, both his tone and expression softened. He jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the guy, and walked straight towards me. In addition to several officers, he was accompanied by several guys who had greeted Carsen at the city gate.
When I repeated the situation to Carsente, he immediately frowned. After all, this was a very dangerous situation. If Legionnaires' disease really broke out, everyone in this city, whether civilians or soldiers, would be abandoned by the entire empire, and it would even lead to the death of everyone here. But he had no power to deal with this matter. After all, he was just a soldier and had no power to deal with local administration. . . . .
"You lowly person, you are exaggerating. Do you know that this will disrupt the morale of the army and the people? Come here, drag him down and chop him off immediately..." Before Carsent could speak, a fat, big-eared, short and fat middle-aged man with a pair of small eyes who was following closely behind Carsent immediately started to yell at me.
I was shocked when I heard him say "chop". Didn't he die on the battlefield, but here? That was too unfair. Before I could ask Carsen for help, the guards who had been following the fat man with small eyes immediately rushed out. When I saw the two guys drawing their swords and coming towards me, I felt a little numb. Damn, am I going to die here
But before the two guys could get close to me, hundreds of spears surrounded them, and almost everyone was hit by dozens of spears... And the looks in their eyes were really amazing, especially the guy with small eyes, his eyes were darting around, and his whole body was shaking with nervousness.
“Carsent, Lord Carsent, you...how could your soldiers do this...Quick...quickly tell them to lay down their weapons..." The fat man cried out to Carsent for help, but after just a few words, his voice immediately turned into a howl, perhaps because the soldier had poked the tip of the gun forward a few more centimeters...
"Remember, this is just the consequence for you using my men without my consent. If there is a next time, I think those spear tips will not stop there, but will go through the other side of your body. Also, show me his face clearly. If he gets into trouble in your city... Humph, then I will use you to pay for his life. In addition, he is not the pariah you claim. He is a member of the Xia tribe, a civilian aristocrat recognized by the empire. Now, take your people and get out of here immediately, and then get rid of all the garbage. If I still see these people in the city after half a day, I will lead the team to evacuate immediately. Then you can resist those barbarians on your own. Humph, let's go!"
