"yes."

Captain Lucius did not dare to disobey the grey-robed mage Gandalf, and then told Gandalf and Xu Feng about the plague in Bree Town in a book.

It turned out that this plague broke out three days ago.

This is also why Gandalf did not receive a notice from the Holy White Council.

If he had known that there was a plague here, Gandalf would have chosen to postpone the Gushan Expedition and resolve the plague here first.

There was no warning that the plague occurred. First, a child in the town suffered from lung disease. After seeing the doctor, the doctor said it was an ordinary cough, and prescribed some herbs to treat the cough and left.

But the next day, the child's illness was not eliminated at all, but instead began to cough up blood.

First he coughed red blood, but in the evening, he started coughing black blood. Before the third day was dawn, the child died.

The family members who lost their children were very angry and believed that the doctor must have prescribed herbs randomly, which led to their beloved son. So they gathered a group of neighbors and went to the doctor's house to seek punishment.

When they arrived, they found out that the doctor was ill and began to cough up blood like the dead child.

The doctor tried hard to close the door and told everyone that this was an infectious plague he had never seen before.

The neighbors suddenly became in chaos and hurriedly escaped from the doctor's house.

However, the efficiency of the spread of the plague was too high. The child's parents began to have a sick and cough the next day, and neighbors who had close contact with them also started to cough.

Immediately afterwards, the entire street was infected with a plague, and the townspeople all hid at home and dared not go out.

Of course, some townspeople wanted to escape from the plague place of Bree Town, but after learning about the incident, Lucius, the captain who was responsible for guarding the place, immediately blocked all town exits and ordered the townspeople to stay at home. At the same time, they sent out messengers to report to the superior commander.

During the two days of waiting for the order, a large number of residents in Bray Town died. The town originally had more than 3,000 people, but in just two days, more than 760 people died.

The entire Bree Town was frightened and no one dared to go out to contact others.

But the problem is that the townspeople don’t have much food in their homes, and drinking water sources are also a huge problem. If this continues, it will probably take only one week for the entire Bule Town to be destroyed.

After spending two days in panic, the superior's instructions finally arrived.

The superior commander asked Captain Lucius to stay in Bree Town and not let any suspected infected townsmen go away. As for medical reinforcements and video reinforcements, Prince Alson is already in an emergency recruitment and believes that he will be delivered to Bree Town soon.

Hearing this, Gandalf couldn't help but frown, "It will take at least five days from Arno to Bree Town, and it will take at least one or two days to raise materials. It will take only one week in total. How can you survive it?"

Lucius said helplessly: "Even if I can't get over it, I have to endure it. The villagers of Bree Town are really miserable, but... I cannot let the plague-infected townsmen leave here and bring a catastrophe to the entire human race. If I block the town gate, I may be hated by the entire Bree Town, but I will never become a sinner of the human race because of this."

Xu Feng nodded, "Captain Lucius, you did it right. Extraordinary times are to use extraordinary means. This is helplessness. How many soldiers do you have in the town and how are they in their state?"

Lucius immediately replied: "We have a whole squad here, with a total of 50 people. Logically speaking, such troops are more than enough to station a town of non-border nature and maintain the public order of this town. However, once we encounter disaster, we are really powerless and can do nothing except block the town."

At the end, Lucius was quite guilty of himself.

Xu Feng asked, "Any of you 50 people is infected?"

Lucius said helplessly: "Yes, nine people were infected, eight of them were dead, and the other one was left in an abandoned warehouse five hundred meters outside the Arrow Tower. I don't know how he is now. Calculated by time, I'm afraid... the soldiers are my brothers and sisters. As the captain, I should have protected them, but now I can only watch them die tragically."

Xu Feng really wanted to comfort the sad captain, but in the end he held back.

People are always powerless in the face of disasters, and only time can heal the trauma.

Xu Feng asked again: "How do you understand the situation in the town?"

Lucius immediately said: "Our Arrow Tower passage is built around the entire town of Bree, which is why we can block the entrances and exits in such a quick time. However, we don't really understand the situation in the town, so we can only stand on the Arrow Tower and wait and see from afar."

Xu Feng asked again: "So, are there any townsmen who are rushing to the Arrow Tower and want to escape?"

Lucius hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Some."

Xu Feng asked, "Then how did you stop it?"

Lucius said helplessly: "We first shouted loudly to advise them to stay indoors and not to gather, so as not to get infected, but some people still want to escape. I cannot say that such people are selfish, but if they are allowed to escape with the pathogens of the plague, I will be the sinner of the entire human race. So... I ordered the soldiers to bend their bows and arrows to shock them with arrows."

"Is it effective?" Xu Feng asked.

"Thank God, it's still valid at the moment." Lucius said with a wry smile: "But maybe next time, there will be no such deterrence."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gandao asked, "Captain Lucius, please tell me truthfully, if there were really people in the townsmen who attacked the Arrow Tower, would you really shoot them?"

Lucius was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "I think I will."

Gandalf asked, "Even if they may not have been infected by the plague?"

Lucius said: "I can't confirm this. What I can be sure of is that everyone is suspected of being infected. Therefore, it is the most correct way to stay at home quietly and nail down your doors and windows, not give Boruto the chance to infect himself, nor to infect others."

Gandalf said: "You should know that if you shoot any innocent civilian, you will be punished by human laws."

"I know." Lucius smiled calmly, "Why do I want this? It's just that what happened to me, I can only do this. Even if I was hit by the villagers of Bree Town with rocks afterwards, it would be better to let the plague spread out of my hands. Let's put it this way, I'm ready to take the blame. The blame is already black. I'm in this position again. If I don't take it, who will take it?"
