In November, the earth officially entered winter.

The sun's appearance in the sky is getting shorter day by day, and the cold night is particularly long, as if it will never pass.

The strong wind curled up with ice and snow circling high in the sky, and the howling sounded like a cry of an evil ghost. Poor refugees hugged each other tremblingly in the cold wind. The hair and beards were stuck with fine ice ridges, and the muscles and skin on their faces were frozen, and they could no longer make any expression.

The snow was too heavy, and even a fire could not be born. The darkness was like the shroud of death, gradually entangling these poor refugees.

There was almost no cover in the wilderness, and they could not stop the loss of heat, and their bodies gradually became cold and hard from the inside out, dark, and eventually came.

On the second day, there were many lifelike "ice sculptures" on the earth.

By the road, the family snuggled up to each other, and the expression on their faces was always frozen at this moment.

Many refugees who were rushing to the Pohe Line did not survive the cold winter and died on the road to the Pohe Line.

Dimit's troops were equipped with tents and sufficient supplies, but they could survive the cold winter. All the refugees they encountered along the way were taken in to the army. According to Dimit's words, one could be saved.

Along the way, Dimit took in two thousand people, including men, women, young and old. Joining the army also gave him more hope for life.

Unlike other spontaneously organized teams, Dimit also has a lot of knowledge about the Black Death. He ordered that once a suspected disease occurs in the team, he would immediately report to him and isolate the patients, and those who violate the order would be killed.

Under the severe punishment, the people infected with the disease in the team had nowhere to hide. Dimit's way of dealing with those people was to kill them and burn the bodies with fire.

This method has been used to eliminate hidden dangers of the disease and effectively curb the spread of the Black Death.

After the heavy snow, the wild nearby, the mountains in the distance, and the sky above our heads were all covered in plain white colors, as if mourning the sufferings of the world.

On the side of the road, the team encountered many corpses that were frozen to death by the cold. They had different postures. Some people even stood there with their eyes wide open. From a distance, they thought they were living people. When they walked in, they found that they had stopped breathing.

This kind of scene that seemed to be the end of the world caused a wave of riots in the team. Many refugees could not stand the stimulation and began to kneel on the ground and beg for God's forgiveness with tears in their eyes.

Not only ordinary refugees, but even the soldiers in the team were in a low morale, and they were obviously affected by the dead.

No one has counted how many dead people were along the way, but in the end, there were less than 200,000 refugees in the Pohe Line, which means that nearly 100,000 people were left in this desolate land.

Hundreds of thousands of people, this is a number that makes people feel scared when they think about it. As an intelligence officer, Dimit has seen too many joys and sorrows of life and death, but even so, his heart began to tremble at this moment.

That is awe of life, mourning for death, and fear of the future.

No one knows whether they will stay in this land forever like those people.

The more in this atmosphere, the more the power of religion can be reflected. At this time, there was a saying that began to spread from nowhere.

This statement is: On the banks of the Po River, a hero at that time established a sacred line of defense to protect everyone. As long as you reach this line of defense, you can get peace and rebirth.

The Pohe Line resolutely became a beacon of hope in the minds of all refugees, and invisibly brought them the power to survive.

This rumor becomes more and more widely spread among the crowd, and becomes more and more mysterious. As it spreads more, some strange content begins to appear, such as the hero who came to the world as an angel, God sent to save the world, etc.

Accompanied by this hero, most of which were fabricated, but it sounds true that time and place events are so convincing, and even dares to swear that this is something I have seen with my own eyes.

During the process of spread, Eugen's name was widely circulated. People compiled and polished his deeds and produced many bizarre and weird versions.

For example, when he killed Count Mead, he was actually made up as Eugen fought alone in a terrifying demon. This demon came from hell and was Satan's tenth son, and it was the disease it brought about.

In the imagination of countless simple people, it was a hero who held a golden sword and killed the terrifying demon with two horns and black wings on his back with one sword.

The name Mead has not been changed. After all, no one knows what the demons in hell are called. Since that is the case, it seems that nothing is wrong to suddenly run out of a demon named Mead.

Earl Mead would probably never have thought that he would leave his name in such a form in the future generations. This has to be said to be a great irony. If there really is heaven and hell in the world, I don’t know whether Earl Mead’s soul can get a status that matches his name...

Five days after heavy snow, Dimit's troops arrived at the Venice Harbour. The journey from San Marino to this place was smoother and the distance was relatively short.

As early as three days ago, the Venetian Harbour was in a state of overcrowding.

Originally, there were not many garrisons here, and most of the refugees pouring out from San Marino came to this city.

Under such circumstances, the troops stationed here immediately became very short of their limits, and the resettlement of refugees became a huge problem.

Fortunately, Mayor Gerras has good abilities. With his full dispatch, the defense line has finally maintained stability. All the refugees were isolated to ensure that the disease would not be spread to the rear. However, such an emergency treatment method is difficult to satisfy these refugees. If it takes a long time, some chaos will easily occur.

Dimit's arrival solved Mayor Gerras' urgent need. The thousands of soldiers under him were good at fighting diseases and had experienced several similar tasks.

With the addition of these soldiers, the management of refugees has become more and more stable.

Whether it is handling corpses or observing the condition, these people have enough experience.

Finally, this wave of refugees survived successfully with Dimit and Gerras joining forces.

On the other hand, Eugen also seized this opportunity and invited Count Sartre from Verona to the front of the defense line.

In the Verona Castle, Eugen told the story for a long time, and at the same time brought a large amount of paper documents and submitted them to Count Sartre for review.

However, Earl Sartre always looked like he didn't want to believe it. In desperation, Eugen had to say: "Come with me, come and take a look, and you will know what is true..."
