"On the contrary, Mayor Gallas, I am saving Italy!" Eugen said with a serious expression, and then he was no longer polite, and directly ordered: "Mayor Gallas, now in the name of the commander of the disaster resistance army, I order you to issue notices to all cities and villages along the Po River, informing them of establishing a line of defense, and to mobilize all the troops."

The commander has extremely high authority.

Under this appointment, Eugen has the right to recruit all military and government forces within his jurisdiction, to use all resources, and to complete a specific task.

Most of the time, the commander's mission is mainly to defeat the enemy, and only a small part of the area where the war broke out.

But now, Eugen is the leader of the disaster resistance army. Theoretically, wherever there is a disaster, all the power there is under his command.

This is also why Mead had to obey his command before, even though he was both an earl like him.

Now Eugen has come to Venice. Although there has been no disaster in Venice, he wants to establish a line of disaster resistance and naturally has the right to issue orders to the mayor of Venice.

In fact, Eugen should have gone to find the local lords, but after learning about the spread of the disease, the lords of these places had long since run away, and Eugen did not waste all the time and directly found the mayor's place.

Mayor Gerras' expression stopped when he heard this, his breathing became a little tighter. Finally, he nodded, accepted Eugen's order, and began to make arrangements.

Just kidding, he didn't dare to refuse Eugen's order. If Eugen cut him down in anger, there would be no place to make sense.

After all, even the count was killed. He was a small baron. Isn’t it easy to kill him?

Eugen was also very happy to see Mayor Gerras cooperated very much. However, if he knew the mayor's true thoughts, he would definitely be amused and crying. Unexpectedly, his actions would bring him the reputation of a bloodthirsty maniac. This is really unpredictable.

I have to say that Mayor Gerras is indeed very efficient in his work.

The day after Eugen's order was issued, the official documents stamped with the commander's seal were passed on to the major cities along the Po River with Venice as the center.

As a transportation center, Venice is mainly based on sea transportation, but land transportation is also very prosperous. There are many main roads leading to major surrounding cities, which can quickly convey the message. This is also one of the important reasons why Eugen chose the Venetian center.

At this moment, most of the forces of the anti-disaster army, including the intelligence officer Dimitre, are concentrated in the city of Florence.

Although there was no commander, these people took action spontaneously and built a temporary defense line in the city of Florence to try to control the people infected with the disease and reduce the spread of the disease.

But the effect is really a bit unsatisfactory. Florence is also a large city. Although it is not as prosperous as Rome, its population is also very dense.

Especially the influx of a large number of refugees in the disaster area has made the city become overcrowded, and this situation has greatly aggravated the possibility of the disease spreading.

In this case, Dimites and the others had almost lost control of the disease. They did not know whether any patients had walked across Florence and towards the inland, nor did they know whether the disease had already broken out in the city.

The only thing they know is to keep looking for the sick, isolate them, wait for him to die gradually, and then set fire to the fire.

The purposeless and directionless prevention and control can play a very small role. Even the morale of the disaster-resisting army began to shake, and there was even the phenomenon of desertion in the army.

"Report! No, Lord Dimit, some of the soldiers have developed infection symptoms. Although they have been quarantined in time, many soldiers still saw this situation and began to escape from the team."

A guard ran to Dimit in panic and began to report that because he assisted the Minister of Defense and Eugen, the current intelligence officer Dimit has become a "master" and he is responsible for all the defense affairs in Florence.

Hearing the guard's report, Dimit couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes showing an angry look.

He was angry at his powerlessness. These situations are inevitable at present. Soldiers are also humans. Without appropriate methods and management measures, those who often contact patients are naturally more likely to be infected with diseases.

They may be brave and fearless, and they will not retreat even if they set foot on the battlefield. However, in the face of the silent murderer such as disease, many people lost their courage and began to flee from the army one after another.

Before this, the total number of the anti-disaster army was about 5,000, but after this period of change, the number dropped rapidly, leaving only more than 3,000.

This means that in these few days, two thousand soldiers either died or fled.

There were about so many soldiers who died in a large battle, and for the disease, this was just the beginning.

Before Dimit could breathe a sigh of relief, a soldier rushed in and ran to Dimit and said, "No, Lord Dimit, a large number of refugees approached not far from the southern gate of Florence. The number was visually estimated to be more than 10,000, and it has been observed that there seemed to be patients among them!"

"What!" Another bolt from the blue, with tens of thousands of refugees. According to the rules, all tens of thousands of people should be isolated, but they do not have so many staff and there are not so many rooms available to isolate patients. "Anyway, stop them first and don't let them enter the city!"

Dimit immediately ordered that this was the worst, but it could solve the urgent problem.

As soon as the soldier got the order, another soldier ran in immediately: "Reported that the patients in the East Quarantine rushed out. We were not equipped with enough staff. They began to run towards the city, trying to escape from our isolation."

"It's over..." Hearing the news, Dimit sat on the ground, the situation completely collapsed, and he could no longer think of any response, and the disease had completely lost control.

"God, are you going to give up on us?" Dimit sighed with unsightly eyes.

At this moment, another soldier ran in. Dimit looked at the soldier blankly. He was now almost numb to the bad news, as if no bad news could cause him any emotional fluctuations.

"Reported that Eugen regained his responsibility for the resilience of the disaster army and has now established a line of defense in Venice, which is a notice issued by Venice."

Hearing this sentence, Dimit's eyes finally lit up, and he seemed to have really seen... the brilliance of God!
