LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 378. The tragedy of the Lion Heart II Empire.
Regulus region troops reached Sky Lion City, they did not see anyone who was in that city as if the city was like a dead City.
"Iris, do you know what's going on?" Lazarus asked.
"I don't know the reason why Sky Lion City is empty. Calista, do you know the reason Sky Lion City is empty?" Iris asked.
"The City of Sky Lion is the territory of Viscount Albert Giant Lion. I found out that Viscount Albert had previously said that many of the population had suffered from skin diseases, shortness of breath and died suddenly." Calista answered.
"Baggots, all Regulus' men cover your mouths and noses with a cloth!" Lazarus shouting.
"As your orders." Everyone answered and covered their faces with a cloth.
"Teacher Regulus, listen to my orders you must not touch all the residents of Sky Lion City!" Lazarus shouting.
All Regulus' forces were confused by Lazarus' order to cover their noses and mouths with cloth.
"An outbreak!" Rion yelling.
"Has the people of Sky Lion City been exposed to a dangerous plague?" A soldier asked.
Regulus' forces became very worried about the outbreak occurring in Sky Lion City and could spread very quickly.
"Cathrine, return with 100 men to report all this to Tiara and all the inhabitants of Regulus. They must not accept people who are from Sky Lion City and sick people entering the 12 Regulus Region Cities. If someone is sick immediately give them a place of isolation far from the City of Regulus." Lazarus says.
"alright. Nyaww." Cathrine replied as she climbed on Kyle's back and returned to Regulus City with 100 Regulus Troops.
"Urs, the plague was terrible and according to the plague book was caused by very small parasitic beasts that were invisible to the eye." Alyssa says.
"An outbreak is worse than a Beast wave." Lazarus answered.
"Viruses and bacteria are living things. Why do the people of Planet Antares know about their existence, "the inner Lazarus.
Bleddyn and Helga went to Lazarus to report something they had seen. They found many human and Beast footprints heading to the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart
"Wait, Leandro's troops sent the plague-affected residents of Sky Lion City away to the Capital of Regulus. Wasn't it the same as they were going to spread the plague to all the inhabitants of Lion Heart Empire!?" Lazarus shouting.
"Uncle, we must catch up with them immediately before the plague spreads to all regions of the Lion Heart Empire!" Calista shouting.
"Teacher Regulus, we must move quickly before Duke Adrian Leandro and his army reach the Lion Heart Capital!" Lazarus.
"As you command, sir." Lazarus and the rest of the army are driving their Beast mounts.
...****************...
"Uncle Adrian, will I and all my followers be okay?" A man with long blond hair and blue eyes with many pushy boils on his face and body asked.
"You'll be fine, Altair knows how to cure your disease." Duke Adrian Leandro replied.
Marquis Edgard Allan approached Duke Adrian Leandro, he saw Lazarus and over 9000 troops moving towards them very quickly.
Soldrake flew swiftly towards the Leandro army which was carrying all the residents of the plague-affected Sky Lion City.
"Grooooharrr!" Silver Dragon Soldrake roars in front of Adrian Leandro's 10,000 men. All of Leandro's troops immediately stopped and gazed towards Regulus's troops who were going towards them quickly.
"Old grandfather, you stupid bastard!" Lazarus shouted loudly.
Duke Adrian Leandro stared intently at Lazarus. They did not know the reason why Lazarus and his army were blocking their way. However, they learn that Lazarus' army does not want to go with them to the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart.
Duke Leandro mounted a Beast Black Lava Horse and walked boldly towards the Lazarus army. He was finally confronted by the forces of Lazarus Regulus, but they saw something strange because all the troops of Regulus were wearing cloths to cover their noses and mouths.
"Black cat, what's your reason for stopping me!" Duke Adrian yelling.
"Old grandfather, did you and your army bring everyone in Sky Lion City?" Lazarus asked
"I will take them to the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart to be treated." Duke Adrian Leandro replied.
"Stupid, did you not notice that all residents of Sky Lion City have the same illness?" Lazarus asked.
"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, what do you mean?" Marquis Edgard asked.
"I mean they're all exposed to a contagious plague. If you take them to the Lion Heart Capital, or you fight now it is the same that you will spread the plague to all regions of the Lion Heart Empire!" Lazarus shouting.
"An outbreak!" All of Leandro's men were terrified when they heard the plague. They've been holding people affected by the outbreak and that means they're going to get it.
Lazarus descended from Regulus's back, then walked towards Viscount Albert who was struck by the plague. He had to know what plague Viscount Albert and all the residents of Sky Lion City had experienced.
"Peach Beast." Lazarus and Alyssa said simultaneously they learned that all the residents of Sky Lion City were suffering from Beast defects. Although the Beast pox is harmless to the Beast and will only last for 3-5 weeks. However, the Smallpox Beast was extremely deadly to the humanoid race especially humans.
Most humans would die if infected with the Beast Smallpox. In the past the Zephyra Empire had an outbreak of the Beast Smallpox and nearly half the affected population died. There was no cure for the Smallpox Beast yet and the Kingdom preferred to burn the territory affected by the Smallpox Beast to keep it from being contagious.
"Fuck, you're under a terrible curse!" A Leandro warrior drops the plague-affected residents of Sky Lion City.
"Quiet down!" Lazarus shouting.
Everyone calmed down, but many of Leandro's troops were frightened because they had already touched the person affected by Smallpox for a long time.
"Do you know of any way or medicine to treat the Beast's smallpox?" Duke Adrian asked.
"Duke Adrian, if it's Beast pox I know how to treat it because the Alchemy Division of The North Alliance has done research on the outbreak that has occurred and how to treat it. If it's a new kind of outbreak we need time to research." Alyssa says.
"Say you're all lucky to have met me." Lazarus puffed out his chest.
"How long has it taken you to treat the Beast's Smallpox?" Adrian asked.
"Pickle Beasts can only infect someone who is under the Legendary realm. It took me 2 months to treat all of them and I've built a 13th city specifically for the people affected by the plague." Lazarus answered.
"Black cats take them to the 13th City of Regulus to be treated. I'm going back to Leandro's territory to bring in more troops, I almost lost 9990 of my troops before the war." Duke Adrian Leandro let out a long sigh.
"Alright and Calista sent a message to Altair about this outbreak. After that tell the neighboring Kingdom about the outbreak of the Beast Smallpox that occurred in the Lion Heart Empire." Lazarus commanded.
"All right, uncle." Calista and Rion went to the Lion Heart Empire along with the Golden Phoenix Chrysanthemum.
The Lazarus army returned to Regulus,. "You all have to keep a distance of 200 meters from my troops. I don't want my army to be infected by Beast's smallpox."
"All right." Duke Adrian replied.
...****************...
Regulus' army and everyone arrived at a city protected by a large, solid white wall. Although many herb plantations were outside the gates, but the City looked like a white prison in the middle of an herb plantation.
Jane and 800 members of The North Alliance are waiting outside the city, wearing neat gear with gloves, mouth coverings and thick clothing.
"Teacher Regulus, remember not to touch those affected by the plague and Leandro's army!" Lazarus shouting.
"As your orders." All Regulus' forces were screaming.
Jane and the others led everyone into the 13th City called Frost Unicorn City.
"Adrian, Edgard come with me because someone of the Legendary realm won't be infected by this plague." Lazarus said while telling Alyssa, Deviela, Iris and the others to wear safe clothes.
They saw a very magnificent city, though not as grand as the Capital of Regulus, or Leandro. But the city is very quiet and uninhabited, Duke Adrian Leandro does not know when Lazarus built a city that has a capacity of more than 100,000 people.
"Black cat, is this City uninhabited and how much money did you spend to build this City?" Duke Adrian asked.
"I spent a lot of money to build this city and rest easy you don't have to worry about the payment because Altair himself will pay for it." Lazarus answered.
"Is this food included?" Duke Adrian asked.
"Food not included." Lazarus answered.
"Haha. I really like your kindness and thank you for saving everyone." Duke Adrian patting Lazarus on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus." Viscount Albert said.
"How many days has Sky Lion City suffered from this plague?" Lazarus asked.
"At first my daughter Bella got the disease 5 days ago after returning from the Amazones Kingdom." Viscount Albert replied.
"Grand Duke Lazarus, I met a friend who had a skin disease. However, I did not know he had been hit by the Beast plague after eating the sickly high-rank Beast meat. I thought it was a common skin disease, but after 3 days I felt a fever and a lot of red patches on my body and face. The patch eventually became a boil and after the boil broke the boil became a festering wound. My body is getting weaker day by day, Dad called someone to treat me and that person gave me medicine. However, that person and many servants were experiencing the same illness and the disease began to spread to all the residents of Sky Lion City nearly 1000 people died from this plague." Bella a beautiful girl with blue hair and beautiful green eyes said.
"Wait, isn't the population of Sky Lion City 7000 people?" Duke Adrian asked.
"Now there are only 6,000 people left. If Uncle Adrian and Grand Duke Regulus don't help us, then we'll all die." Viscount Albert replied.
"This matter is bigger than I thought." Lazarus says.
"Urs, what do you mean?" Bella asked.
"The Amazones kingdom will be hit by this outbreak and this outbreak is very fast to be contagious." Lazarus answered.
"Grand Duke, save my mother and aunt. You can save him." Bella touched Lazarus' hand.
"I can't promise, but I'll save them." Lazarus answered.
"Iris, send Elise, Dion and Soren away to the Amazones Kingdom and tell them to go to the third City to treat the plague." Lazarus commanded.
"All right."
"Iris, wait!" Lazarus stopped Iris.
"What?"
"Tell all Regulus warriors to cleanse themselves, their Beasts and Artifacts in the rushing watery river before going to the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart. Tell the women to clean themselves first and then the men." Lazarus says.
"As your orders." Iris said, then climbed onto the back of the Ice Fenrir White Fang.
Lazarus took a long breath.
"Thank you, Grand Duke Regulus I will definitely give everything including my body to you. You know I am one of the 21 princesses of this generation and thank you for saving all the residents of Sky Lion City." Bella was crying.
"Little lady is healing fast and I'm 70 years old. I'm better suited to be your grandfather than your partner." Lazarus smiled.
Lazarus and the others came out of Viscount Albert's room. Jane immediately gave the medicine to Viscount Albert and Bella .
"Master Urs, very good. Albert, Bella hasn't seen each other in a long time." Jane took off her face cover.
"Daughter Jane Swallow!" Viscount Albert said.
"No, my name is now Jane, a member of The North Alliance and Berdic's Wife of Aquila." Jane smiled.
