The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

The priest's body was wet. The knights had already washed it with well water, but even so, a strong stench of decay still lingered on him.

"Mr. Trak, can you tell me what happened? Why did the person you were treating explode?!"

The pastor named Trak looked up blankly.

His gaze fell on the legion commander's face, and his confused eyes finally showed some light.

"Quick!" He shouted with trembling lips, "Leave the town of Bona quickly, don't touch those residents, leave quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

In fact, he knew very well that it was too late to leave now.

But if it is a knight, he may have a certain resistance to the disease, and leaving early should not result in serious infection.

"Why do you want to leave? Tell me clearly!"

The legion commander's face changed, and he felt something ominous.

But this is Bona Town, which is the first barrier to protect Black Tower City and one of the hubs of the surrounding villages and towns. Once it is occupied by the demons from the Hot Wind Highlands, the other side will radiate invasion from Bona Town to the surrounding areas, and the consequences will be disastrous!

Therefore, unless there was a particularly urgent reason, he would never retreat with the four knights.

"Plague, it's a plague."

The chief priest took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"The injured man's body is full of plague. I don't know what kind of plague it is, but my dispelling spell can't solve it. I can only go find a more senior priest. Now his body has exploded, which means that you are all infected!"

"What did you say?!" The legion commander was shocked.

Everyone is infected with an incurable disease?

What if the demons from Hot Wind Highlands suddenly launched an attack at this time? Wouldn't that be...

Just as I was thinking this, the sound of flapping wings was heard in the air.

When everyone looked up, they saw a group of bird monsters hovering over the town of Bona, looking into the distance.

"Damn it, shoot down those birdmen!" the legion commander immediately gave the order.

These were obviously scouts coming from Hot Wind Heights.

If it were normal times, the legion commander would not be particularly nervous even if he saw the scouts from Hot Wind Highlands, because the four knightly orders in Bona Town were capable of engaging in battle at any time and could simply shoot down these scouts. But now that everyone was infected with the plague, he felt uneasy.

When the soldiers on the wall heard the order from the legion commander, they immediately ran to the crossbow, installed the crossbow arrows, and aimed at the bird monster in the sky.

They have become accustomed to the harassment from the bird demons these days.

Basically, there are bird demons coming to investigate the situation every day, either during the day or at night. The explosion just now probably attracted the attention of the demons, so they sent bird demons to investigate.

The bird monsters scouting the sky are not stupid either.

After seeing the humans' reactions, it moved in a "Z" shape in the sky and continued to approach the town of Bouna. It did not until it took in everything in the town, and then it fled in panic, leaving behind five corpses.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The bird monsters ran away, and everyone was waiting for the legion commander to make a decision.

He frowned, his thick lips slightly turned down, and his gray eyes fell on the priest: "Is this plague really that serious? It must be solved at the bishop level?"

The Bishop level is a fourth-tier priest, a scarce healing unit.

Small town Glow Temples will not be equipped with this kind of healing power; they are usually in big cities.

"Yes, yes." The chief priest nodded.

The legion commander was silent for a while, his cold eyes seemed to hide a dormant volcano.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Gather all the residents infected with the plague and separate them from the healthy villagers. In addition, I will send knights to Black Tower City to request support at night, and the others will continue to garrison in Bona Town!"

The high priest wanted to say something but hesitated, but finally shut his mouth under the stern gaze of the legion commander.

……

"Nothing happened in Bona?"

Quinhagen looked down at a group of shivering bird monsters, his voice rising slightly.

"Did nothing happen, or did you cowardly bastards not see it?!"

The bird monsters were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

But if they continue like this, there is a high probability that one or two of them will be killed by the brutal lion demon nobles to vent their anger.

"My lord, I, I found these humans gathered together to discuss something... and a yard in the northwest corner of Bona Town was full of blood and exuded a foul stench."

Quinhagen narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Gathering for a meeting, blood and stench?

Something must have happened in the town of Bonnaroo.

But for the time being, he couldn't connect these information together.

"Starting today, we must strengthen surveillance of the town of Bona, especially at night. If we find any knights or residents leaving the town, we will kill them immediately!"

The surrounding demons responded one after another.

As a pioneering nobleman, Caesar was of course among these nobles.

Although he didn't see the whole thing happen.

But based on the movements in the town of Bona and Quinhagen, he knew that the gears of this war had begun to accelerate; at most in a week, and at least in three days, a life-and-death battle would break out between the town of Bona and the Hot Wind Highlands.

In the shadow of the camp, Caesar curled his lips and smiled.

Everything is going as planned...

Chapter 143: Talking nonsense

It turned out that Legion Commander Brian had underestimated the plague's ability to pollute.

On the evening of the infection, a large number of residents developed symptoms of high fever and difficulty breathing.

Dispel will produce an effect after use, but it cannot cure the disease completely.

On the second night, not only the residents showed symptoms of the disease, but even the strong soldiers and knights showed them. At this time, the dispel spell could not be used at will and had to be used on knights and soldiers. However, the number of knights and soldiers was there after all. Although there were many priests accompanying the army, each priest had a fixed number of divine spells to cast every day. The healing effect was really a drop in the bucket for the legion of Bona Town.

The legion commander has realized the seriousness of the problem.

That night, knights were sent to Black Tower City for support.

However, the knight never made it to Black Tower, and he didn't even take the King's Road.

The spies of the demons in Hot Wind Highlands have been spread all around the town of Bona, and any movement is under their surveillance. The knight was discovered as soon as he left the town of Bona. A team of lion demons ambushed the knight on the road between the knight and the Black Tower City, easily captured him, and escorted him back to the barracks.

……

"Captain, we found a human knight. He probably wants to report to Black Tower City." The lion demon threw the tied-up knight to the ground and said, "According to your order, all suspicious people who want to leave Baona Town must be arrested. We didn't have time to report, so we arrested him directly!"

Quinn Hagen was already getting ready for bed.

Seeing his men capture a knight, he instantly became alert.

"Well done, you will get an extra basin of human meat tonight!"

This group of lion demons left happily. Eating meat was the greatest reward for them, especially now that they were marching with the army and supplies were scarce. It was a real treat to be able to get more meat.

"Listen human knight, if you answer my questions well, perhaps I will give you a chance to live, but if you dare to speak, I promise you will suffer a fate worse than death."

The captured knight's face was filled with fear.

At that time, he only felt a pain in his back and heard the neighing of a war horse in his ears. Then he fell to the ground with a severe pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness. When he woke up, he saw a blood-maned lion demon looking at him viciously, which almost scared him to death.

Now it seems that he has probably been captured in the demon camp of Hot Wind Highlands.

The demon in front of him was mumbling something, but he couldn't understand a word.

"Human?! Answer me!" Quinhagen knocked on the table.

The stone table that was just made today has turned into pieces again.

Caesar couldn't bear it any longer and said speechlessly:

"Sir, most humans cannot understand the demon language. You have to use the common language of the continent to communicate with him."

"These humans are really ignorant and unlearned."

Quinhagen also realized this. He paused and couldn't help feeling troubled.

He only knew that Aaliyah could speak the common language of the continent.

But Arya has been captured by the army of Bona Town now, and he also knows the lion demons under his command. He can let them fight, but it is better to kill them directly than to let them learn the common language of the continent.

The exciting interrogation session came to a deadlock just as it began.

"Who among you can speak the common language of the continent? If anyone can, I will reward you with a drop of lion demon blood!"

Lion Demon Blood is the purest bloodline of the Mad Blood Lion Demon Royal Family. Eating Lion Demon Blood can effectively purify the bloodline of Lion Demons and increase their development potential. This reward is very generous, but the surrounding demons are looking at each other. No matter how good the reward is, they can't get it.

"A bunch of losers!"

Quinhagen was furious.

This is going to be interesting. I caught a human being and couldn’t even interrogate him.

Then what's the point of him putting so much thought into it? !

"Sir, I know the common language of the continent." Caesar stepped forward at the right moment. "I am a half-demon. My mother is a human. When she was imprisoned by my father, she taught me the common language of the continent."

This explanation is very reasonable.

There are many nobles among the demons who have a hobby of raising human slaves.

If a person had children with a slave, the child would probably be executed directly.

But some of the lucky ones will survive.

However, their status is very low, probably almost the same as cannon fodder.

Although Caesar is very tall, he still has the characteristics of a half-demon. For example, when he is not wearing armor, the demon scales cannot cover his entire body. Also, he does not have the tail and bat wings that symbolize the demon, so Quinhagen did not doubt the truth of Caesar's words.

His eyes lit up and he laughed, "Hehe! I didn't expect you to have this skill? Good, luckily you're here, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to deal with this human being at this time."

In response to the praise from the lion demon nobles, Caesar remained silent and smiled.

"Now, I'll say one sentence, you ask one question, and then translate the information you get for me."

"No problem, just ask."

"First question." Quinhagen glanced at the pale knight and asked coldly, "How is Aaliyah now? Has she been bullied by humans?"

Caesar didn't expect Quinhagen to ask about Aaliyah first.

However, he still relayed the words to the knight exactly as they were.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Aaliyah, the Fox Clan..."

The knight looked confused.

He had already decided not to reveal any information to these demons.

But the other party asked a completely irrelevant question.

Caesar nodded solemnly upon hearing this, then turned around and said in the demon language:

"Sir, he said that Miss Arya's eyes and tongue had been dug out, her limbs had been cut off and stuffed into a jar, and she will be hung in front of the army tomorrow for us to admire."

The knight looked at Caesar and Quinhagen in confusion.

Although he couldn't understand the demon language, he had a hunch.

This demon seemed to be fighting and talking nonsense with the lion demon.

"What?!" Quinhagen was furious: "How dare these humans do such an outrageous thing?"

In fact, the demons have done similar things to humans.

For example, if Angela were caught by the demon nobles, her fate would not be good.

But if this kind of thing happens to me, I will definitely not be able to accept it.

Especially since Aaliyah is Quinn Hagen's fiancée.

This is simply trampling on the face of their Crazy Blood Family! !

Caesar said this in order to make Quinhagen more determined to attack the town of Fortuna instead of continuing to waste time here.
