Chapter 1627 Great Change (5)

Under the light of the fire, the various forces on a tactical sand table are clearly separated. It can be seen that this sand table basically covers the entire territory of the Balegon Empire, and the basic situation of the various forces in the empire today is marked with models of different colors.

Among them, the yellow models representing the royal family of the empire are basically concentrated near the imperial capital, while the purple models representing King Dasheng surround the imperial capital, besieging the imperial power of the empire, and preventing the power and royal families of other empires The confluence of soldiers and horses. This strategy is simple and crude, but it is really difficult to do without the masters in the army of Dasheng Wang and the army with strong horses and horses.

As for the southern border of the empire, the gray model representing Iron Spear Ridge and the brown model of the Empire Hall are still eye-catching. Especially Tieqiang Ridge, this area should have been captured early in the morning, but King Jiwu is dead, and now the army's morale has been dissipated, so Jiujiu has shown that he captured this territory.

King Pingxi frowned. After the death of King Jiwu, he had successfully won the command of King Jiwu's old department through King Dasheng. But those old ministries of King Jiwu obediently obeyed his orders, especially Yu Ni, a close friend of King Jiwu, obstructed them time and time again, making it difficult for King Pingxi to have military power.

Every time King Pingxi thought of this, his teeth itch with hatred. But now that King Dasheng is concentrating his forces to break through the imperial capital, even if he is not angry, he knows that at this time he cannot disturb the prince too much. Pingxi Wang Kong has a lot of ambitions, but he has suffered repeated setbacks after coming to this country of Xiyi, and now he no longer has the arrogance he had at the beginning.

He looked to the south of Tieqiang Ridge again, where there were piles of black models. Looking at these models, he thought of the alien army that suddenly appeared that day, and the man who killed King Jiwu. Now that area is like a forbidden area in his eyes, as long as the opponent doesn't expand, King Pingxi doesn't want to take the initiative to attack.

For him now, it is more important to capture Tieqiang Ridge. Otherwise, once the imperial capital is destroyed, he will still not be able to build an inch, and he will have no face to go back to see his ancestors.

Suddenly, King Pingxi's heart moved. He only felt flustered for a while, as if something terrible was about to happen. Not long after, he heard the sound of rain. A general barged in, took off his helmet, and cursed. Under the flames, the general was covered in blood, King Pingxi's heart beat heavily, and he asked urgently, "What's going on with you? Why are you hurt so badly?"

The general laughed and said, "My lord, don't be nervous, I'm fine. It's all because of the rain outside. This barbarian empire is also weird, and it even rained blood. My whole body was drenched by that strange rain."

"Blood rain?"

"That's right." The general opened the tent and said, "Look, my lord, it's raining blood outside. I'm afraid there's something unclean. I've asked the soldiers to return the tent, but there are still quite a few people drenched in blood." That's it."

King Pingxi moved to the entrance of the tent and held up a lamp to shine it on. Sure enough, there was blood and rain outside the tent, and the tent was dyed red. Lifting up the lamp and looking around, I saw blood tents standing in the rain, which was uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it.

That night, there was a bloody rain in the whole of Bailegang, from south to north, no one was spared. On the next day, although the rain stopped, there was a cloud of blood in the sky. The dark red rain cloud gradually moved westward, towards the Shadow Principality.

It was daytime, and everyone in Tiegun City was carrying buckets of water and pouring buckets of water onto their houses. The blood rain that fell last night turned all the buildings in this city into blood. It was so shocking, it was like hell appearing in the world. Early this morning, the Marquis of the Iron Spear issued an order to cleanse the entire city. Apart from the army, all the residents in the city were mobilized. After buckets of clean water were continuously poured down, the washed blood flowed down the street to the sewer. That scene can be described as a real river of blood.

Standing on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion and looking down, one can see rivers of blood winding through the city. Huo Yi frowned, with a worried look on his face. Beside him is Yeying Bellekai, one of the ten saints, the town powerhouse of the Bolin family still dressed like a wandering mercenary,

Wearing an easy-to-move black battle suit, he bit his pipe and said, "What is the Marquis worried about?"

"In most of my life, I have never seen a rain of blood like last night, Lord Belekay, it must be not easy." Huo Yi said in a deep voice.

Belle Kay put down his bong and said, "Haven't the Marquis asked all the doctors in the city to examine the blood-soaked residents, and if there is anything abnormal, you should know by now."

Huo Yi sighed: "There are too many incomprehensible things in this world, including this blood rain. Although the doctors can't find anything, I always feel that something is going to happen."

"Maybe it's just that you are too worried, Marquis. I think the intruders outside the city are more worthy of attention than worrying about a strange rain."

Huo Yi nodded and said, "I hope I'm just overthinking."

Just as the two were about to leave the rooftop, a soldier hurried over and knelt down and said, "It's not good, Marquis. The soldiers in the army suddenly developed a fever, and many soldiers have already collapsed."

Just after finishing speaking, a man with the appearance of a housekeeper came up: "Marquis, a fever also appeared in the city. Many residents suddenly fell into a coma with a high fever, and the doctors seemed to be at a loss what to do about it."

Huo Yi glanced at Belle Kai, and both of them saw a sense of uneasiness and solemnity in each other's eyes.

However, Guncheng was not the only one with fever, and King Pingxi soon received related reports. On the same day, fever appeared in many parts of the empire. In both the north and the south, cities and towns, large and small, more than 40% of the people developed fever. Even Dasheng Wang, who was planning to concentrate his forces to attack the emperor, had to suspend his plan because of the large number of febrile soldiers in the army. All of a sudden, this strange high fever spread across the country like a plague. Doctors in the empire or the military doctors of the Panlong Empire were helpless against this strange disease. They tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't cool down the patient. It was as if the patient's blood was burning by itself. Every patient with fever had red skin.

Fortunately, one day later, the febrile patient showed no signs of death other than coma. But for the empire or the eastern army, this is a huge blow.

But bigger blows began to follow.

On the evening of the second day, there was an exclamation in Gun City. Huo Yi, who was in the study, heard the scream, and quickly opened the door, only to see the housekeeper running over and shouting, "My lord, you have to come and see."

They hurried to a room that was originally occupied by a febrile servant in the asylum. When Huo Yi pushed open the door, a wave of heat rushed over. When he looked at the scene in the room, the old Marquis was shocked on the spot.
