Tiefeng County, Revodan.

"No pass." Ivan repeated this sentence for countless times, and he was a little tired: "No one can leave."

The stopped carriage was loaded with a family of four and all the soft property of the family. The rich male owner drove the car herself, while the mistress hid in the carriage with her children in her arms.

The news spread faster than the plague. The white horse knight with the bow had not arrived at Revodan, but it was well known that there was a plague in the town of St. Crusaders.

Helplessly, when the wars were rising, civilians from Tiefeng County rushed into Revodan in horror to seek shelter; and when the plague came one after another, people were eager to escape from the crowded city.

"Oh, I'm leaving in a hurry and I don't have time to ask for a pass." The host smiled flatteringly, and his stubborn fingers flexibly put Ivan a bulging leather bag: "It's convenient, sir."

The bag is hard and has the touch of coins.

Ivan couldn't help but sigh. It was impossible not to be moved, Axiniya and the child were still counting on him.

Since the start of preparations, the prices of Revodantan have only risen, but not fallen. Although flour is rationed, Ivan's family has not seen meat and fish for a long time.

"Sir." Ivan did not take the leather bag, because his mouth and nose were covered by a triangle scarf, and his voice was a little dull: "Although I don't know what you are called, your family should be quite rich..."

The fat male owner felt a "knock" in his heart. It seemed that being slaughtered was inevitable.

But when he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, but he still smiled: "My name is Ivan, Your Excellency, Ivan Asta."

"Oh? Your name is Ivan."

"So...we have the same name?" The male host tried hard to cater to the other party: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

"Mr. Asta." Ivan's words were interrupted, and his thoughts were also broken. He was silent for a moment and spent a lot of effort to sort out his language: "You look like a rich man, and you may still be a knowledgeable person. If you walk on the street on weekdays, you wouldn't look at me directly, I'm right?"

The male owner became more and more confused, and he beat him up: "Oh, Brother Ivan...where do you want to go?"

"But you took out the money now and gave it to me." Ivan ignored the other party and continued to say, "You do this because you think I am a person with power. At least now, I have the power to let you go. Is that right?"

"Ah?" The simple bribery suddenly rose to philosophical debate, and the male owner couldn't change his mind for a moment.

"Actually, I have no power. Only the lord of Baomin has the power to let you go, and I have the power to stop you. Now I have collected your money, and I will be hung until the sunrise tomorrow." He poured out all my thoughts, and Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other party expectantly: "Are you asking me to exercise the power I don't have... Do you understand what I mean?"

For this family, it was their first time to meet Ivan and their first attempt to bribe Ivan.

But for Ivan, this was the first time he faced the stuffed wallet. The two sides thus formed an unequal relationship.

Ivan's words were his vent to all bribers and his thoughts - a reason to convince himself not to accept bribes.

But when Balan heard the company commander's honorific title of "real name and father's name", he knew that the little doll was soft-hearted again.

"Sir." The old man who stood up first came to Angrumma and plucked up the courage to ask, "Is there really a relief...? When will it come?"

"I'm not an adult." Angelu comforted the other party, "Don't worry, it's not fake. The Montanebao civilian official has ordered the allocation of military rations to everyone, and it should be..."

As he said that, Angelo turned around and looked back.

At the end of the road, above the hills, a carriage slowly climbed out of the horizon, then another, and more behind it.

There was a conspicuous red flag in each carriage.

"It's already here," Angelou replied.

...

Wherever life gathers, it is naturally a breeding ground for diseases.

The rich people who had previously poured into various towns due to war now have their hearts to leave.

The poor, driven by hunger, began to gather in various towns and form a second wave of people.

The reason is simple: if you lack safety, people will squeeze into safe places; if you lack food, people will go to places where there is food.

Winters prevented the crowds entering the city - the more people, the less plague is.

On the other hand, he wanted to stop the crowds of people leaving the city - letting people leave, and the plague is likely to spread to all parts of Tiefeng County.

But some people left, and Winters could not interfere - Colonel Geisa and the Hussars were leaving.

This time, the Terdun tribe was divided into the left and right wings. Although the right wing was shattered in Tiefeng County, the left wing is still raging in Vorne County.

The right wing of Terdun is mainly the direct people of the fire-growing group, while the left wing is the foreign submission tribe.

This division is of course because of the selfish intentions of the fire-growers. However, it also leads to Terden not having a clear command core, and the leaders of all sizes act independently, which makes it more difficult to deal with.

After the main battle of [Wentes - Firebranders] ended, Colonel Geisa was originally planning to go to Vorne County immediately.

The reason why it stayed until this time was to wait for someone.

When Major Ronald and his party finally arrived at Revodan, Colonel Geisa, who was already extremely irritated, was about to set off.

Winters didn't want the Hussars to leave because he was worried that the [Aichen Plague] who had just been controlled would be taken out.

But the problem happens to be here.

[Aichen Plague] As soon as there was a small-scale spread in the shack area, Father Kaman noticed it and was then held tightly by Winters.

So much so that this "plague" looks like a joke that is not painful: not many people died, but the response methods are so fierce. Is it overreacting?

The Hussars left with great reasons. After all, the battle has not been finished yet, and Vorne County needs them.

Apart from epidemic prevention, Winters had no reason to force the Hussars to stay. And the reasons for epidemic prevention themselves were not convincing in the other party's eyes.

So in the end, Winters had to send off reinforcements.

...

Q: How to distinguish between the Palatun and the Venetta?

Answer: Look at the beard.

The Palathus regard beard cultivation as beauty, as if the denser the beard, the more masculinity it is.

The Venetta people are just the opposite, with their upper lip, lower jaw and cheeks clean. You can do not wash your bath, but your beard must be shaved off, otherwise you will always feel uncomfortable.

Even in the Republic of Veneta, there is a rigid provision written into the law: Veneta public officials and merchants who stay in overseas colonies and trade countries must shave them.

The reason why such strange laws are found is entirely to "distinguish between you and me".

In other words, not only did the Venetta people not intend to integrate into other countries, but were also deeply afraid of being "melted" by other countries, and forced shaving became a proof of identity.

Anyone with discerning eyes can roughly know where they came from when they see the young men who are not bearded at the farewell scene.

The farewell party was not large in scale, and only a few leading figures from Revodan were invited to accompany him.

According to the customs of the Palatus people, it is always appropriate to have a feast for three days after winning a battle. However, Tiefeng County has limited conditions and special circumstances, everything is simple, and Colonel Geisa did not pick on Winters's fault.

Seeing Ronald's still alive, Geisa was filled with emotion and hugged her and kissed her hard on the spot.

That's right, it's indeed a kiss.

One of the ways for the Palatu people to express intense emotions such as excitement, joy, long-lasting reunion, long-lived friendship, etc. is "kissing", which can also be done by men and men.

The face is close to the face and the lips are close to the lips. As for whether there is a saliva exchange, it is unknown.

Probably not--?

Andre looked at the Palatu seniors who were kissing enthusiastically in disgust and asked Winters worriedly: "They don't want to kiss us too, are they?"

Winters' mind was filled with all the big and small things about epidemic prevention. He looked up and replied without emotion: "No, kissing is an intimate act, and they are hostile to us."

Andre looked around and Ronald and other former Iron Peak County officers reunited with Colonel Geisa and his party. The scene was very warm and touching. A group of adult men hugged and kissed each other, and some even cried.

In contrast, although Winters and Andre were in the crowd, they were vaguely isolated. No one talked to them, and no one came to hug them and kiss them.

Andre snorted lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I know why Lieutenant Colonel Moritz, Bard and others are unwilling to come."

"The identities of Lieutenant Colonel and Senior Juan are still kept secret. Senior Mason and Bard are too busy to pull away." Winters answered mechanically, and he also took a sip of the liquid in the wine glass. The slightly bitter smell pulled him back from the world of epidemic prevention.

Winters changed his tone and touched Andre's beer glass: "The key is - this kind of fatal scene, who else can I count on besides you?"

Andre snorted again and touched Winters' beer glass.

Drinking all the golden liquid in the wine glass in one breath, Andre burped and complained in a low voice: "Is this worthy of beer? It tastes nothing."

Winters suddenly felt a wonderful feeling, as if he had returned to the Aqua Blue Army Officers Club, and sat north on the second floor with Andre, facing the square on the windowsill, blowing the air and drinking beer.

Winters took a sip: "Yeah."

Andre raised his eyebrows and looked at Winters with his head tilted, "What are you laughing at?"

"Did I laugh?" Winters touched his cheek.

"You don't know yet?"

Winters thought for a while: "Then I didn't laugh."

Andrey sneered and poured himself a glass of light golden liquid.

Since it was to see off the Palathus, how could it be reasonable to have no drinks?

But Tiefeng County even lacks food, let alone wine. The old widow Allen's wine cellar has long been empty. Perhaps some people have a few bottles of wine in their homes, but that is just wine like wine.

Finally, the short and fat representative of Niushi Valley came up with an idea: to crush the dried bread, soak it, boil it, add wine koji, and ferment...

Finally, filtering to obtain a strange liquid that looks like beer, not beer.

According to the short and fat representative, in General Yanos' army, the big-headed soldiers would use bread to make this "fermented water" to satisfy their cravings without drinking.
