Chapter 106 Professionals
Rambo naturally knew this, and when he thought that because of his decision, nearly one million people would face the threat of death, he felt an indescribable sense of fear.
Even if he is not a full-time priest, he can feel what a great sin he is carrying at this moment.
But he had no choice. He knew that if he didn't do this, if the disease spreads across the Mediterranean, it would cause an unimaginable terrifying disaster.
Whether for the sake of justice or to fulfill Eugen's orders, this is a must-pass path.
A breeze blew by, and a big chestnut tree next to it swayed in the wind, falling two yellow-green leaves.
Rambo looked up at the sky, the blazing white sun wheels lay lazily in the air, and a few white clouds floated leisurely, which was a good sunny day.
But he knew that the storm was coming soon.
There were noble officers stationed in various harbors on Sicily, and the order to seal the pearls was almost at the same time.
These officers did not understand what the requirements in the order meant. They just followed the content of the order and burned all the ships in the harbor with tinder oil at the first time, and then organized soldiers to start heading towards the Trapani Harbour.
The Port of Messina, located in the heart of the disease outbreak, also received a task, which was delivered by a carrier pigeon.
At this moment, Messina is already the center of the disease outbreak. Nearly two-thirds of the people in the city have been infected with the disease, and the remaining one-third have escaped from the city.
It was not the army stationed here, but part of the mafia members led by Fathead Fish. Perhaps because of the relatively independent harbor area, the disease never spread to this place.
However, news from the city also spread to the harbor, causing some riots among the mafia members. Fortunately, the fat-headed fish is more powerful and finally suppressed the riots.
After receiving the order, Fathead burned all the ships without thinking, and did not even let go of the smallest sampan. Then he led all his personnel to the Port of Trapani. Along the way, they carefully bypassed the city and walked along the country road.
Even so, dead people can be seen everywhere along the way, beside the small road, in the grass, under the big trees... corpses fell to the ground, and no one could care about dealing with them.
There are black corpse spots on the corpse, and the expressions on the face are often filled with pain. Sometimes you can even see several corpses of all sizes piled up together, and the whole family dies in the hands of the disease.
Almost all pass by towns and villages have become empty cities. Some houses look normal on the outside, as if the owner of the house will smile and greet the guests at the next moment. But if you push open the door, you will often find several seriously decayed corpses, accompanied by a foul odor that can make people spit out their intestines.
The weather in early August is very stuffy and hot. It is the time when mosquitoes are common and corruption is frequent. The dead bodies can be severely corrupt within one day. Mosquitoes carrying fatal bacteria fly around, and mice are uncontrollably thriving in large quantities.
The crops and fruits on the trees are becoming more and more mature, but no farmers will harvest them. The final result is just rotting in the field.
The entire Sicily has reached the verge of collapse.
When they learned that the Black Death broke out in Sicily, the Italian Peninsula was completely shrouded in panic. No matter they were nobles, civilians, and even soldiers, they were running towards the inland.
The Roman Catholic Church was violently shocked, and priests were sent out to appease the people, but the results were minimal. Emergency information flew to Florence like snowflakes. The room of the Duke of Ji'an was filled with nobles from all over the world who came to ask for countermeasures, and Earl Mead, who had a dispute with Rambo, was also among them.
The theocracy in Italy was headed by the Holy See, while the royal power was headed by the Duke of Ji'an. Of course, Italy only followed the orders of one person, that is, the Duke of Ji'an.
However, the Duke of Ji'an also fell into an embarrassing situation of being at a loss. He had only known the existence of the disease before, but had no specific understanding.
The reason why Rambo was given power was due to Eugen's face, not because of his emphasis on disease.
Even just a few days ago, he said: Disease is insignificant, and the mafia is the biggest problem.
But now, the Black Death swept Sicily with a terrifying momentum. Judging from this momentum, once it lands in Italy, it is afraid that all of Italy will fall within a month, and the entire Europe may be affected in a year.
In this situation, the Duke of Ji'an faced the panicked nobles in the hall, waved his hand and said, "What are you panicking? You have to ask professionals to do this!"
Two days after saying this, Eugen, who was taking a shower at home and preparing to rest, was dragged out of the bathroom, wrapped himself in a carriage and pulled him to Florence.
At first Eugen thought he had been kidnapped, so scared that he almost pissed his pants. After getting in the carriage and seeing Margaret, he calmed down a little.
Margaret spoke in a few words and told the current situation in Italy and Sicily, and helped Eugen tidy up his clothes during this period.
Eugen couldn't get a word in the whole process. At the end of the day, he asked a question with a serious expression:
"How is Rambo?"
Margaret was stunned when he heard the problem, and then replied after a while: "It is said that he launched a plan called Pearl Seal, and then stayed in Sicily and did not come out, but the final news was that he was still alive."
"What? Pearl seal!" Hearing this name, Eugen couldn't help but scream in surprise, with an unconcealed shock in his tone.
When Eugen heard that Rambo stayed on the island and did not come out, he was excited and fell into silence. He suddenly realized that he was not a competent lord at all. He had almost never known him, a retainer named Rambo. It was not until this moment that he felt Rambo's application and loyalty. From these two aspects, Rambo is worthy of being the title of "knight".
After a while, Eugen breathed a sigh and sighed: "Rambo, you have done enough. Tens of millions, you must save your life."
With the high efficiency of the Medici family, Eugen finally felt Florence at the first time and began to formulate prevention and control measures for the disease.
As for his territory, Lebour City, he invited the old mayor who had just packed his luggage and was about to leave, and asked him to temporarily be responsible for the management of Lebour City.
Fortunately, Eugen had already formulated the basic development plan for the city before. The old mayor only needs to implement it step by step and does not need to make any major changes. The work is quite easy.
