325 Black Death

Under the gaze of the two "creators", the army that surged out of the city of Crispy Chicken Leg Castle was advancing towards Lin Chi's city.

However, unlike the multiple divisions in ordinary wars, this army is like a long snake, slowly "climbing" across the desert. Apart from leaving soldiers to protect the supply line behind, this army has almost no tactics at all.

"Damn, it's not good for you to do this..." Xiangqian Chicken Leg Castle muttered with frown.

——Although this army was led by five generals and had a large number of officers under their jurisdiction, they had almost no idea about the arrangement of troops in real war, in other words, they had no practical experience at all.

Under such circumstances, these generals who only understand tactics but not strategies have no idea of ​​dividing troops. They just led the army all the way forward, preparing to use "human sea tactics" to capture the opposite city.

After hearing the slogans shouted by some of the soldiers, the blond creator was obviously in a worse mood:

"For the sake of Lord Pope, capture that city!"

Some fanatical believers among the soldiers, wearing roughly crafted light armor, held high the flag of the church, and showed a barbaric atmosphere in every move. They were like walking bombs, which made the ordinary soldiers next to them hide far away, without any intention of getting close.

Because they were influenced by the "pope" when their cultural level was not high, these believers had become unstable factors in the army. In fact, they did not follow the general's orders to go to war, but just wanted to massacre "pagans".

In fact, these people did not even obey the Queen, but regarded the Pope as the only leader. The most terrifying thing is that there are still quite a few of these guys, and in this army, nearly 10,000 people are the Pope’s followers!

Seeing those guys playing with guns, Lin Chi said thoughtfully: "So that's it, can you kill someone with a knife..."

The two players playing cards can see that the reason why the Queen did not eliminate these almost crazy believers, but let them go to war with the army, also means "consuming" these people in the battle.

After all, the Pope is still in the city. If he openly sends troops to eliminate his believers, it may lead to riots among other believers, which will be more troublesome at that time.

However, the opponent's army does not seem very reliable, and an army of 100,000 people should not be underestimated.

There are only 60,000 soldiers in Lin Chi's city now. Once they are in the siege, it will be sooner or later if the city is broken if they cannot cut off the other party's supply line.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the approaching army, then looked at the remaining cards in his hand. Then he smiled slightly and played a card calmly:

no.13——Death.

Right position.

Death descends on the enemy city-state, randomly destroying one-fifth of its population, and infecting one-fifth of the remaining population with a plague.

When he saw this card, the blonde man's expression suddenly changed. Obviously, he also knew very well what the card "Death" means:

This aggressive tarot card that can eliminate the population in proportion can still be controlled in the early stages of the game. After all, there were not a few people in the city at that time, and even if one-fifth of the population was wiped out, it would soon rise.

But under the current situation, the disaster level caused by the "God of Death" is simply incredible!

Under the terrified gaze of "Crispy Chicken Leg Castle", some citizens in his city first began to have an inexplicable fever, with irregular lumps on their bodies, and then they began to cough wildly as if they were suffering from pneumonia, and even vomited blood from their mouths.

While bleeding began to occur throughout the body, these poor people infected with the plague suffered from sepsis, and black patches appeared on their skin, and died in extreme pain.

"This is……"

Seeing that the citizens in the city turned into dead bodies one after another, the face of the crispy chicken leg castle suddenly turned pale. Even if you have never learned biology, as long as you have learned history, you will know what the spreading epidemic is:

What appeared in that city was the terrifying plague that killed 20 million Europeans in the Middle Ages: the Black Death!

This plague brought by rats has directly erased tens of millions of people, and in a sense changed the history of human beings. To this day, it has long had a more commonly used official name - Plague.

As humans began to apply antibiotics, the plague was no longer as deadly as in ancient times. But in this game, humans in the city could not resist the attacks of the plague!

"Damn it."

Witnessing the tragic situation of the residents in the city, the blonde man couldn't help but curse. Although he also wanted to play "Death" in the later stage, his death card was already used on the slave in front...

As the plague broke out in the city, the supply line behind the army immediately stopped operating. Before the army could reach Lin Chi's gate, the army of 100,000 people had already entered a state of hunger due to food shortage.

Seeing that the expression of the crispy chicken leg castle was twisted, Lin Chi smiled and reminded him considerately: "It's your time to play the card."

Realizing that if I don’t withdraw my troops, not only will I not be able to capture the enemy’s city, but my own city will not be protected. Xiangqian Chicken Leg Castle whispered something, and could only play the card I just played in the last round again:

Little Akana card - Sword.

Use the second time, to retreat your army, and you are judged to be defeated.

The little Aka card is not included in your remaining cards, and is not subject to any restrictions. It can be used in every turn and will automatically return to your hand at the beginning of the next turn.

Then, he played the second card of the turn again.

On the golden card, a warrior tied upside down was drawn, and a golden angel halo appeared faintly behind his head.

Even though he knew that he was about to die, the person's expression was very calm, and he did not seem to be suffering at all.

no.12——The hanging person.

Right position.

The hanging man symbolizes sacrifice. Using this card will sacrifice a part of the "can be sacrificed" residents in your city-state, allowing the remaining residents to gain strong effects, vitality and morale. It will also allow your city to gain an indomitable effect within two rounds and cannot be destroyed by the enemy in any form.

When the blonde man played these two cards, the army he sent began to retreat, and the bonus effect originally obtained by the "chariot" disappeared because he was judged to be defeated.

While the army retreated, the "hanger" symbolizing sacrifice also had an effect:

The doctors in the city all tried their best to save people, and scholars immediately began to study the treatment of the Black Death. And those patients who had already developed the disease and knew that they had no hope of survival actually began to leave the city and staggered towards the desert in the distance.

——In order to protect their family, lovers, friends, and other residents in the city, the plague patients showed their courage for the last time in a generous way!

Seeing several old men who kept coughing up blood, supporting each other and walking into the depths of the desert, Lin Chi couldn't help but give these people a thumbs up and exclaimed: "They are very brave."

While speaking, he drew two golden tarot cards again and threw them on the table in front of him.
