Chapter 1064: The city of Kate shrouded in despair...
"He really said that?"
On the other side, the anxious Luke and others who were waiting in the hall asked excitedly.
David nodded quickly and said, "That's what he said!"
"That's good, that's good!" Luke and several generals looked at each other, then hurriedly said to Bondy: "Old guy, you have to take good care of your orc!"
David looked at Duke Ruk's appearance and sighed slightly in his heart. To be honest, he did not agree with the fact that a group of people put their hopes on an orc of unknown origin, but he could understand that he was indeed at a loss now...
In the original situation, Ruk's army did not plan to stay in Kate City for long. After all, Kate City is too small, so it is obviously unrealistic to raise an army of 100,000.
The expected plan should be larger cities in the south, such as Scot City or Bit City, where there are rich granaries and countless farms, which are very suitable to replace Blue Dragon City and become the next point of persistence.
Of course, this kind of major migration cannot be carried out hastily, so before departure, the army sent the only few remaining griffin troops in the army to investigate.
The day before yesterday, several griffin knights who went out to investigate the information came back safely, but the news they brought back was heartbroken: Whether it was Scot City or Bit City, they have now become a dead city, with rotten corpses everywhere, and there is no living creature. The key is that all the land seems to be infected.
The soldiers also brought back soil from the two cities and some biological specimens.
The soil turned into a bright purple-black, emitting a disgusting stench, and you can also see the strange flesh and blood tentacles mixed in the soil.
According to the soldiers' reports, not only the soil, but also the plants and animals there, there are such rotten flesh. This flesh is obviously not their own, including the griffins they brought with them. Among them, the griffins mounts of No. 11 and No. 13 accidentally ate the water source there and soon began to die of weakness and the body began to smell that rotten odor halfway through the way.
The soldiers cut open the griffin's body, but found that the internal organs in the griffin's body were gone, and only some disgusting flesh and blood tentacles slowly squirmed in their stomachs...
According to the soldiers' narratives, the mages in the army concluded that the land was corrupted by the power of the evil gods. This is not the first time that this happened. According to the mages, some long-standing documents have recorded that this happened in several countries in the Western Archipelago.
The sect that suddenly appeared sacrificed a kind of inexplicable evil god, and then the creatures or people who were sacrificed, this rotten body would appear in the body. These fanatical believers also launched a terrifying war that exterminated human nature.
How did the war finally settle and how the power of the curse disappeared? There are no records in many documents, but there are many rumors. Some say that the patron saint of the ocean took action, and some say that the God of Light responded to the prayers of believers and purified that power.
Since then, religion has emerged, and the Marine and Light Sects have become popular, and have been popular in the Western archipelago for tens of thousands of years.
However, what history is no longer important now. What is important is that they have no strength to solve this kind of thing. The mages used the rotten soil for several days to experiment and found that the rotten flesh's vitality was extremely strong, and professional alchemy poison could not be killed, and they could not even burn it. In desperation, they could only let the griffin soldiers throw it away again.
But the bad news is that infection has begun to appear around...
Just yesterday, someone reported below that dead people began to appear in the city one after another, and all the dead were bulging like they were swollen. Isn’t it revealed that the carrion meat in their bodies brought back by the soldiers a few days ago?
Suddenly, Ruk knew that things were going big.
I quickly took the soldiers to investigate and found that the soil in the surrounding fruit forests had begun to develop lesions. According to the investigation, the dead were all caused by eating fresh fruits that had just matured in this season.
So Luke took the soldiers to all the surrounding farms planted, and pessimistically discovered that the kind of carrion had begun to appear in the land.
This investigation result is like a bolt from the blue.
Because this not only means that they originally expected that Scot and Bit City could not be reached, but even Kate City has not been around for a long time now...
There is a problem with the land and it is impossible to grow grain. If the grain cannot be grown, what should the soldiers and people in the city eat?
The food is not yet mature, and everyone is relying on the old grain in the city to survive, waiting for the new grain to mature and harvest. Originally, Luke was also taking care of the new grain that was about to mature in Kate City, and planned to set out after a wave of supply.
As a result, I told him that there was something wrong with what I planted in the soil and couldn't eat it anymore!
How to do this? I won’t say that the road ahead has been cut off. Now even the way out of Kate City has problems. In an instant, several generals felt like they were shrouded in despair.
Just in a desperate situation, Ruk suddenly remembered the orc that Old Bondy had been very rare recently.
He suddenly remembered the ridiculous story. The orcs had expected this disaster and came from thousands of miles to protect the descendants of their former life-saving benefactors. Then there must be some regulations? Since he had predicted this disaster, does it mean that he knew something?
With such thoughts, they asked David to go inquire. Originally, they were just a little fantasy, but the result seemed... OK?
The orc replied that he wanted to think about it again, but that doesn’t it mean that he knows something, at least he has a way out!
Thinking of this, Ruk quickly ordered: "Call the soldiers to prepare, collect the old grain from door to door, register the population in the city, be sure to be careful and ask Old Bondi to come for a meeting!"

On the other hand, Brother Dog fell into trouble after David left. After all, he was so awesome that he could not be bothered...
He knows the way out for a hammer...
What to do? Now...
Brother Dog found that he could not pretend to be an ostrich like this now. Even for Shanni, he could not continue to pretend to be dead like this. He had to find a way to leave here.
Looking at her face was extremely entangled and she didn't even drink the broth, Sanny looked at the other party curiously: "Oba, what you said to Uncle David just now...is it true?"
Brother Dog was stunned when he heard this and looked at Shanni in shock. After David heard his ambiguous words, he went out to report it excitedly. As a result, the little girl in front of him really doubted him at the first time?
