Since the news of the spread of the plague came out, many residents began to stay indoors for fear of contracting the plague.
Even at night, the once bustling pub street began to become sparsely populated.
The arrival of Jiang Heng and the others added a bit of excitement to Tavern Street.
From the moment he sat down, Solan's eyes have been lingering on Wisteria.
According to the gossip from a group of goblins in Hati, Solan probably made a literary stand-in.
The tavern owner who looks similar to his former lover and has always taken care of him.
It’s hard not to be moved, right?
Jiang Heng held his chin up, the look in his eyes was very playful.
Wisteria is gentle and kind, but she is definitely not weak.
Jiang Heng is really looking forward to the next development of things.
"This is for you."
Zi Teng brought several plates of dishes made by herself, put them down with a smile, and nodded towards Jiang Heng.
The miners hooted and started to have delusional thoughts.
They didn't receive such treatment in the past. Miss Ziteng suddenly acted like this. Could it be...
"I think Miss Ziteng must have taken a liking to me."
The gluttonous bird ruffled the feathers on its head very confidently.
"I also think she is a ghost cat and you are a gluttonous bird."
The snowman nodded solemnly, and the gluttonous bird was engraved on the ghost cat's recipe.
"roll."
The gluttonous bird rolled its eyes and turned to seek Jiang Heng's approval.
"What do you think about Number Three?"
"As long as you are happy." Jiang Heng smiled politely. Having confidence is also a good thing.
"..."
"By the way, have you heard about it?"
The demon monkey took a sip of wine and spoke mysteriously.
"What?"
The Gluttonous Bird answered the question in a dignified manner and asked.
"A group of outsiders came outside the mining area and have been lingering there."
It is not a good thing to have outsiders coming at this time.
"not……?"
A wanderer with the plague, right?
The gluttonous bird frowned. Did it spread to their territory so quickly?
"I guess so."
The group of people fell silent for a moment, plague.
For slaves, when the plague struck, they were always the first to be sacrificed.
If possible, they also hope to be able to stay at home like the territorial residents and wait for the plague to pass.
However, once they stop working, they face the risk of starvation and death from illness.
Slaves had no second choice, and lords were not philanthropists.
But compared to the previous lords, the current lord is already very good.
Poor slaves.
Jiang Heng's face remained calm, and he began to think in his heart.
She and the ministers actually knew that there were wanderers outside the territory.
Skeleton troops are always sent out to eliminate them.
But these wanderers are very good at hiding and have pretty good strength. Jiang Heng cannot send intelligent creatures out to die.
Those soldiers with intelligence were cultivated by them through hard work. It would be too wasteful to use them to deal with a group of wanderers.
As long as the player is not stupid, he will not accept this kind of mission. The slaves in the territory are quite useful, and they are indispensable for all hard work.
If he could go out and contact slave merchants now, Jiang Heng would be willing to do so.
Anyway, rich and powerful.
But now there is the risk of contracting the plague everywhere, and no one dares to go out, except those big guys.
Sure enough, cheap labor is never enough.
Jiang Heng sighed almost invisible, leaned back on the chair, and looked up out of the window.
Pedestrians on the road all looked in a hurry, zombie doctors from the disinfecting team passed by from time to time, and Jiang Heng also saw Xiling.
Xiling was directing the zombie doctors to spray the newly prepared anti-epidemic water. All the materials were collected from the Magic Botanical Garden.
The price is quite expensive.
"Tell me, when can we officially become members of the territory?"
Gluttony Bird and the others couldn't help but sigh while drinking wine.
Becoming a free citizen is probably the biggest dream of these low-class slaves.
Just as he was sighing, Jiang Heng suddenly received news that the defensive formation was under attack.
The defensive formation is under her control. Jiang Heng has set a threshold. Once the intensity of the attack exceeds this threshold, she will be notified.
This means that someone is invading the territory.
At this time... Jiang Heng suddenly had a bad feeling.
She stood up immediately and slapped several silver coins on the table.
"I'm leaving."
The war bell on the city wall rang, and the bells in all the bell towers in the territory were activated and tinkled non-stop.
It struck people's hearts one after another, and all the territorial residents in the city walked out of their rooms and looked towards the city gate worriedly.
"Master Aheng."
The shadow clan's shadow appeared silently beside Jiang Heng, respectfully waiting for Jiang Heng's instructions.
"If anyone wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be killed without mercy."
"yes."
Youguang lowered his head and accepted the order.
Jiang Heng jumped onto the high tower, quickly walked between the buildings in the main city, and headed towards the defense line.
The first line of defense of the territory is not the city wall, but a forest thousands of miles away.
There is a storm giant army led by Lie stationed there.
The unknown troops outside the magic circle were still attacking. Jiang Heng quickly notified the logistics, as well as Xiling and Jason, and asked one of them to come to the defense line.
Jiang Heng was very fast and arrived at the Storm Legion's camp in less than three minutes.
At the same time, she also saw unknown creatures attacking the magic circle.
A group, no, countless plague-infected bodies.
Outside the magic circle, wherever you can see, there are densely packed plague-infected bodies.
"Master Aheng."
Lie led the members of the Storm Legion to salute Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng waved his hands and frowned at the infected bodies.
There is a magic circle blocking them, so they can't get in yet.
However, it is impossible to keep them blocked at the edge of the magic circle.
Jiang Heng couldn't afford it.
This is not how money is spent.
Just looking at these infected bodies makes one's scalp numb.
Whether it is plants, animals or other creatures, even skeletons will be infected by the plague.
The bare bones became mottled and covered with dense spikes and small bumps, which was disgusting.
Many of the cannon fodder skeleton soldiers sent by Jiang Heng were also infected.
What's touching is that even if they are infected, they still carry out Jiang Heng's orders conscientiously.
Even if they were squeezed in the middle, they would not forget to raise their fists and beat the other infected bodies.
However, Jiang Heng didn't care about rewarding them now. How to deal with these plague-infected bodies as soon as possible was the most important thing.
"Let us in-"
"My compassionate lord, please let us in -"
"I am Baron Jin Yan, and I order you to let me in quickly!!"
The mixed sounds passed through the barrier and reached Jiang Heng's ears.
Plague does not make people lose their minds, it only gradually weakens them.
Whether they were high-ranking nobles or lowly slaves, they all crowded outside the magic circle and screamed at Jiang Heng and the others with distorted faces.
