Act 134 The Marquis of Caderian
Because the gate of Black Thorn Castle was completely submerged by the corpses of the undead, Bai Gang and the others could only climb up through the rope thrown from the top of the city. Although Bai Gang didn't care about this, Marquis Kadean was still very dissatisfied and took the initiative to bow to Bai Gang, the count as a marquis. This was very rare on the Anglia continent.
"Apologize to you again, Earl Bai, it is so rude to greet an Earl here with such a embarrassed look, and you even want to climb up..."
Bai Gang waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Is there nothing on the battlefield? Look, I am not wearing any formal clothes now, just wearing combat uniforms."
Marquis Kadean was stunned for a moment. He thought that the formal clothes of China were like this. He just complained about the strange aesthetics of Chinese people in his heart. He didn't expect that this was actually a combat costume. Not to mention, if you look closely, the strange square pattern on the clothes can easily be integrated with the surrounding environment. It is a very good assassin's costume.
However, Marquis Kadian was also a little strange, because if this kind of clothing was equipped with the main legion, it would definitely be a complete act of seeking death!
During the cold weapons period, the greatest use of military uniforms and military flags is to identify their own people for soldiers and commanders, so that they can see where their troops are on a chaotic battlefield, so they must be very conspicuous. If the military uniforms are too hidden, the battlefield command is a joke, and it will also become a joke to win. Based on this principle, the army of cold weapons and black powder for generations will either dress themselves up or fly flags, and will never wear any clothes that are easily concealed.
However, there is no reason for such a simple truth to be seen in front of Monte Cristo, who has a powerful alchemy dragon legion, doesn't know why he still uses such highly concealed clothing?
Although he was all kinds of strange in his heart, Marquis Kadian was still very clear about what he should do now, so he quickly threw this doubt behind him.
"Earl White, please come with me. The castle has refreshments ready, you can take a break."
Bai Gang shook his head: "No need, let's talk here. After all, the battle is not over yet, and premature optimism is not a quality that a commander should have."
"It's true. I'm very sorry, our city gate has been blocked and we can't send troops out of the city to respond now."
"It's okay, I guess the Marquis's troops are already very tired, so I'll leave the rest to my people."
Next, Bai Gang did not rush to discuss any substantial issues with Marquis Kadean, but just kept talking to him about Duze's customs and culture while watching the battle.
Although Marquis Kadean was uneasy and did not know what harsh requests Bai Gang would make, he still had to pretend to be happy on the surface to speak out.
From time to time, a few crazy undead crawled up on the city wall to die, which of course would not have any impact on Bai Gang and the others.
The battle below the castle went very smoothly, and the remaining undead were completely a mess of sand and did not pose any threat.
After feeling that the undead army could not make any storms, Bai Gang finally brought the conversation to the point.
"Marquis Kadian, don't know what the casualties were in the Black Thorn Castle? Also, is there enough food?"
Marquis Kadean's heart tightened, and he thought that Bai Gang was inquiring about his own reality, but then he laughed at himself with a smirk. Does the current situation of Black Thorn Castle still need to inquiry about the reality? Just now, the group of alchemy dragon legions could blow the castle down with just a breath, and there was no need to put that effort into it. So Marquis Kadean simply told the truth.
"Some time ago, the undead did not do their best to attack, so there were not many soldiers killed, but the fierce battles in recent days injured almost everyone."
Marquis Kadian had not finished speaking, but the sad expression on his face had already completed the words he didn't want to say. Apart from magic and fighting spirit, the Anglia continent was very similar to medieval Europe in many aspects, and was almost the same in the medical field - except for some divine things, they were almost blank.
The difference is that the divine nagging on the Anglia continent is effective, while the Europe on the earth is invalid.
However, the magical arts on the Anglia Road are not omnipotent, and diseases such as wound infection are very difficult to deal with. Although the magical arts can cure wounds, the pathogenic bacteria that have invaded the body cannot be killed. They can only rely on the patient's body's immunity to resist.
For powerful professionals, this is not a big deal. They can be cured in a fever for at most two days - their physical fitness is really good, and ordinary infections cannot kill them at all.
But for ordinary people and even lower-level professionals with slightly inferior strength, wound infection is enough to be fatal!
There are really not many people among the wounded people in Black Thorn Castle who can survive the terrifying wound infection, which is why Marquis Kadean is so sad. Although he survived successfully with rescue, this battle almost lost 70% of his combat power. How can he live in the future?
Thinking of this, Marquis Kadean seemed to arouse the pain in his heart, sighed a long time, and began to pour bitterness towards Baigang.
"That damn necromancer has spread the plague of the undead here. Although it is only the lowest level [hot epidemic] rather than the death [black death epidemic], once you get infected with this plague, it will make you feel powerless. All the priests here are killed in battle. The only place where there are enough priests is the capital Yunfeng City, but it is now being besieged by the undead. God knows when a priest will come to relieve the plague for my people.
There is also food, and those undead destroyed the fields. I don’t know how to let my people spend this winter, let alone grow grain in the New Year!”
The more Kadean said, the more sad he became, the more he was, and he almost told Bai Gang that I was poor, broken and unable to survive. There was no need to worry about it. You should be kind enough.
Unexpectedly, Bai Gang smiled slightly and said, "I really didn't expect that the Marquis was so difficult here. In order to help you and your people overcome the difficulties, I am willing to provide food and medicine. Our country is still very experienced in treating sword injuries."
Kadian looked at Bai Gang in surprise. He really couldn't understand what this count wanted to do now. It was impossible for him to help with war and deliver things without asking for anything. That kind of pure noble lord had long been dead!
