Chapter 1891: Chapter 572: Merlin’s Artificial God Plan

The news that the Orlan Royal Court had sent tens of thousands of cannon fodder quickly spread across the entire alliance’s front line.

The former Orlan ministers who had sacrificed everything to join Camilla, this Augustus King, also knew that their families were among them, and ultimately couldn’t bear it, wanting to see their loved ones.

Soon, from the turrets all over the front line, pairs of eyes quietly watched the ragged crowd, and the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

The old, weak, women, and children in the crowd were urged to call out the name "Your Majesty Camilla," as if she could save those children and elderly about to die from the Black Death.

The cries of desperation and pain echoed around the canyon, quickly spreading that feeling of hopelessness and sorrow.

After all, they were their own family members, the soldiers of the alliance couldn’t help but be moved.

"That’s my mother and sister! Damn it, the Orlan Royal Court actually uses infants as plague carriers, how could they do such a thing..."

"My grandmother, my sister’s whole family is in there too. My God, if I could replace them, I’d rather endure those hardships myself..."

"King Arthur is really disappointing. Even in war, how can families be used as cannon fodder..."

"..."

"These people are carrying the plague; we must not let them in! My suggestion is to immediately isolate and prevent the spread of the plague..."

"But... they are..."

"No buts. Once the plague spreads to the alliance, none of us will survive! Your Majesty Camilla can’t save so many people; this is the enemy’s treachery, intending to collapse our unity from within..."

"..."

This vicious scheme from the Orlan Royal Court isn’t sophisticated, but it targets the heart.

Anyone with eyes can see what the enemy intends to do.

Though rationality tells everyone that Your Majesty Camilla cannot save so many people, and those infected with the plague are unlikely to survive, in front of them are their own family members, listening to them wail in pain is like someone cutting into their own flesh, the grief indescribable. If there was even a glimmer of hope, they still want to see their family survive.

In the command room, Lenny, Ray, and a group of former Orlan ministers were silent.

After hearing Leonard Churchill explain the horrors of the "Black Death," they were even more aware of the sinister plots of the enemy.

The cannon fodder selected by the Orlan Royal Family was clearly chosen intentionally, mostly close relatives of the "defecting ministers."

Although they acknowledged Augustus, Camilla is, after all, an exiled princess without a solid foundation.

If those tens of thousands of people were allowed to die here, the hard-won morale might instantly dissipate.

Cries of agony were relentless; not everyone has the courage to watch loved ones die before their eyes.

Everyone knew they should do something, but didn’t know what could be done.

Just when a major upheaval seemed imminent, an unexpected situation occurred.

A low incantation echoed in the ears: "Mystery·Song of Praise to the Soul!"

Others might not have noticed what happened, but Leonard Churchill saw it.

A white-haired man leaned against a turret window on the rock wall, calmly taking out a black card, forming a sword with his fingers, and casting a spell.

It was none other than the Revolutionary Army leader, the "Law Resister" Luna Lee.

His lips moved slightly, as if chanting a prayer that calmed the hearts: "Those with good intentions are not tormented by disease, their minds steadied, fearless of terror; those harboring evil intentions, their faces ugly, their tracks unhidden..."

Leonard Churchill heard the barely perceptible incantation and marveled: "A group spell?"

Before he could think more, as soon as the spell was cast, the tens of thousands of plague-infected elderly, weak, women, and children in the vast canyon stopped crying, and the atmosphere of despair came to an abrupt halt.

The people seemed to be greatly inspired, instantly losing their fear of death, no longer feeling the torment of illness, and displaying a desire and determination for life.

Leonard Churchill, seeing this scene, thought for a moment, and marveled: "Such a brilliant move!"

It looks like mental hypnosis, but this is not superficial work!

The ravage of disease affects more than just the body, a large part is on the spirit.

If one’s mindset is positive and optimistic, the body can withstand the pain in its best state, even leading to healing.

It can be said, in the absence of effective treatments, inspiring the heart is the best cure!

And Leonard Churchill was shocked not just by this point, but also by the scale of the spell’s coverage!

[Diamond 9 - Human Desire], known for his mental secret skills, he understood.

But, in front of him were tens of thousands of people!

To know that most mental magic spells are single-target spells, being able to control dozens is already a remarkable feat.

This Luna Lee controlling tens of thousands at once, what’s the concept?

If not seeing it with his own eyes, Leonard Churchill would’ve thought it was some Outer God’s divine method used to confuse believers.

And that’s not all!

This spell by "Law Resister" Luna Lee not only calmed the tens of thousands of plague-infected commoners but also served another crucial purpose.

Everyone was aware that among these tens of thousands, there must be enemy spies, those who were causing trouble earlier were those guys.

Originally wanting to screen them all out, it was almost impossible in the short term.

But keeping them in this crowd would definitely leave future trouble.

Unexpectedly, with Luna Lee’s spell, those spies were directly exposed.

As the spell took effect, the commoners in the crowd each displayed peaceful expressions, calming down.

On the other side, over a hundred appeared as if tormented by the incantation in their ears, suddenly became hideously twisted.
