An elderly doctor sighed and said, "This is the plague, highly contagious. Aren't we just sending them to their deaths?"

The soldiers beside them looked at them and said, "If you can't cure him today, your heads will roll right now. You don't believe me? Try it."

This is like forcing a duck onto a shelf.

The doctors were on the verge of tears. What had they done to deserve this?

They shuffled over to the general, took his pulse, and said, "There's no hope for him! His whole body is covered in purplish-black spots and blackened by bleeding; there's simply no chance of saving him."

The soldier beside him sneered, "Those people in Crushed Stone Fort who were so seriously injured a while ago were all cured, and you dare to say it can't be done?"

The doctor smiled wryly, "Those doctors who went to Crushed Stone Fort are all miracle healers; how could we quacks compare?"

"That's right! We only know the most basic medical skills; we don't know anything more difficult."

To put it bluntly, they're just decorations in the pharmacy; they're not the ones who actually treat patients.

They were all those tree-people.

Each doctor has a tree spirit by their side, and they are the tree spirit's assistants.

Whatever the Tree People diagnose, they just need to repeat it directly.

The soldier drew his knife and held it to the man's neck, saying, "Fine! You won't talk, huh? If you don't, there's only one word for you today: death."

The Great Qi Kingdom is in a lot of trouble lately. A plague outbreak has occurred in this camp, initially only on a small scale.

It's now a widespread outbreak, completely out of control. In this camp alone, more than 7,000 people have already died.

They had no energy to fight, and having finally found out that there was a solution to the plague, they naturally wanted to give it a try.

So they arrested all the doctors in the city.

Just as the doctors were about to die on the spot, the soldiers suddenly fell to the ground.

The doctors were so frightened their legs went weak. One doctor muttered to himself:

"Brother Trees, if you were here, you should have spoken up sooner!"

We were so scared! We thought you had all left!

The trees scoffed, "Calling us 'Big Brother'? We're only a little over 100 years old, aren't we?"

"Isn't that right? Our oldest is only a little over 300 years old, which is equivalent to just over 10 years old in human terms."

These trees looked at the camp and said:

"It wasn't easy for us to come all this way, so we can't leave empty-handed."

I wonder what's inside these tents. Let's go explore!"

A dozen or so trees wandered around the camp, then came to a warehouse.

A dozen or so trees stretched their branches out, peering inside. "Wow! Aren't these all new weapons? And so much armor! The Great Qi Kingdom is indeed powerful."

"These suits of armor are all new! There must be at least several hundred sets."

"Look what I found! So much meat! I just don't know if it's contaminated with the plague, so I dare not eat it, dare not take it! What a pity."

"The plague isn't a serious illness. We have a lot of winter clothes stored here. Should we move them now?"

One tree said, "Forget it! I'm afraid it will pollute the environment."

The trees also felt it was a pity, but fortunately, they found several wooden crates in the warehouse, which were full of gold and silver jewelry.

We can clean this up later.

Also, take all the armor and weapons back with us, and we'll let Zhou Wanwan see them later.

Even if there really was a plague, they could cure it.

Each of the dozen or so trees was too heavy to move all that stuff, but they quickly brought in reinforcements.

They brought in dozens of trees; with many trees, there's strength. Soon, the warehouse was emptied of all its valuables.

A tense atmosphere hung over the entire military camp; the general had contracted the plague, and the news had already been reported.

The higher-ups sent military doctors to treat the patient, but they were completely helpless.

"Is there really no way to cure it? If the general really dies from the plague, who can defeat the Great Xia?"

"I have a feeling that something is wrong with Great Xia lately. Shattered Crushed Stone Fort should have been hit by the plague."

But we've received word that everyone in Crushed Stone Fort is currently clearing away rubble.

It doesn't look like he has the plague.

"So what exactly happened? This battle hasn't even started yet, and last time thousands of people disappeared without a trace."

This time it was even more outrageous, with a large-scale outbreak of plague, and the most outrageous thing was that a city was completely emptied out.

"Can you believe it? Can you believe it?" The lieutenant general became more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder.

Everyone fell silent. What on earth had happened?

Given the current situation, they certainly cannot attack the Great Xia, but fortunately, they are not the only army they have.

The Great Qi has a million-strong army; if they can't handle it, there will naturally be other armies to fill in.

The plague had already struck here, and the Great Qi General Xuanwei had already received the news. The General Xuanwei laughed heartily:

"I really didn't expect that General Who Breaks Tigers would be so vulnerable, succumbing to the plague, hahaha..."

"Let him argue with me, would he even be able to get back up now?"

"Grand General Who Proclaims Might, the entire Tiger-Breaking Army has been wiped out. His Majesty's intention is for you to lead your main force to directly attack Yanmen Pass."

Grand General Who Proclaims Might nodded and said, "Yanmen Pass? Isn't that child's play? That's just a small, broken city; I conquered it in a single day."

The eunuch beside him nodded and said, "Then we'll wait for General Who Proclaims Might's good news. I'll go back and report now."

Grand General Who Proclaims Might took a sip of tea and said, "It's finally our turn to shine. The Tiger-Breaking Army is truly useless, unlike our Might-Proclaiming Army!"

Those around him quickly flattered, "General Who Proclaims Might is mighty! The Might-Proclaiming Army is invincible, victorious in every battle and conquerable in every attack!"

Grand General Who Proclaims Might shushed him and said:

"Keep your voice down, keep a low profile, let's send 50,000 men to scout ahead first."

However, it shouldn't be a problem for 50,000 men to directly breach Yanmen Pass.

But that little, run-down town wasn't very interesting.

Grand General Who Proclaims Might immediately ordered the departure.

It took them a day and a night to finally reach Yanmen Pass.

The moment they saw Yanmen Pass, everyone was stunned. "This... this is Yanmen Pass?"

"Why is this city wall so high? It must be at least 20 meters high!"

"Can we climb up this city wall?"

Grand General Who Proclaims Might also came out, staring blankly at the city wall, and said:

"Damn it, that idiot city lord actually built the city walls so high! How many bricks did that take?"

The key question is, how are we supposed to climb up like this?

Standing on the city wall, Zhou Wanwan looked down at the army and said, "Sigh! This city wall is too high, it's quite troublesome, it's even inconvenient to talk."

Qin Shan, who was standing nearby, quickly brought over a megaphone and said, "Master, this is a megaphone. You can use it to speak."

Zhou Wanwan took the megaphone and shouted, "Enemy troops, listen up! You are surrounded! You'd better lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, or you will face the consequences!"

All the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom stared blankly at the little girl on the city wall and said:

Whose child is this?

She ran up to the city wall to play! Guards, shoot her down!
