Twilight West City, the headquarters of the Knights, the large head room.

Compared with the flowery and pleasing garden outside the window, the big head room where Cumberland is located is obviously a bit rudimentary, even shabby.

In addition to the furniture that was initially configured, the only noteworthy decorations in the large captain's room were a map, a set of armor, a knight sword, and a portrait of Cumberland's family in oil.

Emerson originally gave Cumberland some books, hoping that the latter would read more.

But Cumberland, who is not literate, does not accept the other's kindness. In his opinion, the only things that need to be familiar on the battlefield are swords and mounts.

The kingdom also rewarded him with innumerable wealth and treasures, but Cumberland gave them all to those subordinates who had meritorious service on the battlefield.

Todd once asked this old knight who followed him from birth to death what he wanted.

The other party thought for a long time, and finally replied.

"I want to take a look at my dead son once in a while."

Herman, the knight commander who killed the court to protect Queen Mary.

Faced with this request, Todd found Deirdre and asked the latter to find Herman's soul with the ability to call souls.

Perhaps because time has passed for too long, perhaps because of some other reason, Hermann's soul did not respond.

Todd, helpless, had no choice but to turn to Leviathan, who asked the latter to make a copy of Herman in the kingdom of heaven based on Cumberland's memories.

This spirit body retains some of Hermann's memories and thoughts, but in terms of words and deeds, it appears a little dull and reticent.

But for Cumberland, all this is enough.

The topic returned to the main commander's room. Cumberland has a guest today—Knight Dion.

Dion took off his armor today and put on a white floral-lined dress. It was beautiful and dignified. He looked like a student studying at Muxi University.

Seeing this knight, who is obviously powerful but of unknown gender, Cumberland showed a headache: "I don't care about your daily dressing style, but in the Knights, you have to dress like a soldier."

Dion glanced at Cumberland: "I just attended the wedding of Lord Emerson's little granddaughter."

Cumberland was silent.

Dion said, "Master Emerson has always wanted you to attend."

Cumberland: "I am not used to that occasion."

Dion glanced at the painted portrait of Cumberland's family in the corner, and gave up his intention to continue this topic.

Cumberland opened his mouth and said, "You should also know the situation in the city."

"What do you mean?"

"The race relationship between humans and the Crusades."

Dion whispered: "I don't think it's a serious matter."

Cumberland shouted: "It's not a serious matter?! Do you know how many racial conflicts occurred in Twilight West this month?!"

"Last week, Collison and his son! As the son of man's servant knight Collison, in order to participate in the selection ceremony of the Crusade with friends, he even dared to stab his father and his teaching knight!"

Cumberland was full of anger: "Now the knights are panicking. Many young people don't want to be knights anymore, but want to join the Crusades, because that way is more "prestigious" and closer to the glory of God!"

Dion asked: "I remember that the conversion ceremony of the Crusades is very risky, and the race of the conversion is unpredictable... Even so, young people are still willing to join the Crusades?"

Cumberland sighed heavily: "The risk of the transformation ritual has been greatly reduced by Wayne’s gang. Although the transformed race is somewhat unwelcome, there are still many respected and young people. People are willing to take that risk."

Dion asked tentatively: "You may be able to talk to your Majesty."

Cumberland was discouraged at the mention of Todd.

"I don't want to disturb him with these trivial matters. He always has more important things to deal with." Cumberland said wearily: "Even gods cannot satisfy all the requirements of mortals."

In Dion's memory, this was the first time in his life that this old man had such a depressed expression.

Dion stood a little closer and said softly: "The kingdom is now facing a huge disaster. Even if it is an ethnic conflict, it is not worth mentioning in front of the former."

Cumberland raised his head, looked at Dion and asked, "I've heard of some, are they the dead bodies in Tyrol?"

"Yes, when I left the front line, the army could no longer suppress the expansion of the undead. The southern and western lines of defense have been retreating backwards. Hundreds of fleets have been organized in the port of Tokchi, and they are beginning to divide. Batch transfer of people and materials."

Cumberland moved his gaze to the map, determined the location of the Duchy of Tokci, and said: "Your Majesty will send Alfonso and Evie to the front. I know that things in Taero City are not so simple, but the situation is already there. Is it so bad?"

"According to your majesty, the black plague can not only be spread by humans~lightnovelpub.net~ living creatures such as mice, birds, cats and dogs can become carriers of the spread of the plague. The spread of this disaster has become an impossible The fact that prevented it."

Cumberland looked solemn and confirmed again: "Animals like mice and birds can also spread the plague? What does your Majesty say?"

"Yes."

Cumberland looked out the window and suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly last week, it has been raining all the time?"

Dion was a little confused: "You are right."

Cumberland pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "I hope everything is still too late..."

Before the words were over, the voice of the guard came from the door of the large group commander's room.

"My lord, there is a report from the Eastern Front!"

Cumberland let the messenger come in and asked the other party to read the report directly.

"With Tyrol City as the center and a radius of 60 kilometers, a large-scale rat plague carrying the black plague broke out. Dozens of kingdoms in the northern part of Tyrol City have completely lost contact. The defenders stationed in the Western Forest took advantage of The wildfire repelled the rats, but they also suffered heavy losses. The defenders of the southern port of Tokci successfully completed their evacuation at the last minute."

At the end of the report, a large number of variants appeared in the rat disaster were also recorded.

Plague necromancers with metal skin, regeneration, flame breath, splitting, colloid and other abilities have begun to appear, and they have brought great threats to the kingdom’s army. In very few areas, there have even been able to use dragon bone parasites. Plague necromancer.

Cumberland ordered the report to be collected and said to Dion: "Perhaps you are right. The ethnic conflict was not worth mentioning before this disaster."

Dion's face was pale: "I didn't expect that the black plague would spread so quickly."

Cumberland left his seat and said: "Come with me to the royal city to meet your majesty. The kingdom may be facing a life and death disaster now."
