“The Black Death.”
Ask's words were so powerful that the girls held their breath.
"Is it an infectious disease?" Sidlifa asked blankly.
"It's some kind of acute infectious disease, very scary." Nora said in a deep voice, "Timely antibiotic intervention can save lives, but..."
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that the Duchy of Bavaria, which has temporarily cut off ties with the Holy See, doesn't have enough medicine reserves."
"What medicine do you need?" Eleanor asked anxiously.
"Can your family factory produce these two antibiotics, streptomycin and tetracycline?" Nora asked.
Eleanor shook her head blankly. She only knew penicillin and aspirin.
"Hey, now is not the time to worry about others, right?" Medea reminded helplessly, "We are still surrounded by rats."
Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard outside.
The girls from the Blue Sword rushed out of the tent immediately and saw that the Weisbach guards had gathered in formation as if they were facing a great enemy. Since they were called to the central tent where Ask was in advance, there were few casualties.
The Wolf family servants at the edge of the camp were almost instantly overwhelmed by the swarm of rats pouring in from outside. They screamed and waved everything they could grab in their hands, slapping the rats that were quickly climbing up their trouser legs.
After just a few seconds, they collapsed to the ground as if paralyzed, their faces turning blue and their lips turning purple, as if they had been poisoned by some vicious toxin... The rats did not give them a chance, but quickly covered them like a wave, and after a few minutes only a pile of completely eaten bones was left.
"Phantom Sword, dig a trench on the ground with a radius of ten meters, and pour kerosene!" Seeing the swarm of rats rushing towards the center of the camp, Ask quickly gave the order.
Before she finished her words, Peggy's Immortal Phantom Sword was activated. Six or seven "Peggys" lowered their bodies and rushed out. Holding daggers in their left hands, they dug trenches on the ground. Holding cans of kerosene in their right hands, they quickly poured them into the trenches.
Since multiple phantoms were acting together, countless curved gullies quickly formed a complete circle, encircling the members of the Cangqing Sword and the Weisbach family guards in the center.
Without Ask's order, Medea shot out a fireball, which immediately ignited the ditch filled with kerosene, forming a nearly half-meter-high, burning wall of fire.
The rats stopped in front of the wall of fire. Out of the animals' instinctive fear of fire, they stood up and squeaked, shaking their heads wildly, or running around in circles on the ground, biting their tails, as if resisting a voice in their heads.
Soon, the rats, as if driven by some invisible force, rushed desperately into the wall of fire.
"Gravity ring radiation, ready." Ask's next order, "Spiritual support!"
Sheila took a deep breath, and the gravity ripples of the "Meteorite II" swelled up, causing the petite robe she was wearing to flutter.
Nora stood behind her, holding her back with one hand. Her "Spirit I" ability was also ready - she could infuse her own spirituality into Sheila's body at any time to replenish the spirituality consumed by her ability.
