Chapter 1394: Chapter 986: Marching Against the Plague Legion

"Plague? That shouldn’t be the case." Li Changhe frowned and said, "I remember you all checked, and aside from malnutrition, the people didn’t have any issues."

You see, the fleet took in around four hundred thousand survivors from Celestial Book City.

Packing the battleships to the brim. If some highly infectious disease broke out, there would be no escape for anyone in the fleet.

Fortunately, as the former resistance fighter Jiang Qi was focusing on the people’s safety issues when he was under the Bottom Nest of Sky Mountain Giant City. The worst the people had was some malnutrition. There were no so-called contagious diseases.

And even if there had been, why wasn’t it found before reaching Border City? If it appeared just when we made contact with the giant city, that would be too much of a coincidence. If the giant city misunderstood anything, that would be quite troubling.

"This is definitely not something brought by our fleet." Jiang Qi quickly responded, "It’s on Border City’s side. One of their messenger squads came rushing back from a giant city thousands of kilometers away. Unfortunately, on their way, they were caught up in a battle between the giant city’s defense forces and the Chaos Legion. In the end, only two members of the squad barely survived. They finally arrived at Border City a few hours ago and were discovered by the city’s sentries, who quickly sent them for treatment. As a result, a strange sickness began to show up in Border City."

"Strange?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, the eyes of the infected continuously exude foul-smelling and sticky tears until their eyes are completely covered. It can even cause their eyeballs to rot directly. Moreover, the infection pattern of this disease is very peculiar. Even researchers wearing protective suits and oxygen masks can be inexplicably infected just by studying the patient’s blood. By the time it was discovered, already hundreds of people had been infected. So currently, all those infected are being isolated in totally enclosed facilities," Jiang Qi explained. "The city’s doctors are researching the illness, but apart from the peculiar contagion and the overly strange symptoms, they have no effective findings. This is an unexplainable plague. So, the giant city suspects..."

"No need for suspicion, this is the plague of the God of Decay and Impurity, the Great Impurity—one called tear plague." After hearing this, Chen Yu said, "The battle they got caught up in must have involved the Great Impurity’s Plague Legion. And during the battle, they were infected by this virus. This is actually a kind of mite, almost completely ineffective against Transcendents and divine creatures. However, these symptoms can greatly affect and even completely weaken a military force’s strength. In one world, to combat this tear plague, they massively switched to electronic eyes within their armies. And as a result, they were overcome by electronic demons."

"The Great Impurity? Was it really Him?" Li Changhe actually didn’t know much about the Great Impurity. After all, since the Great Impurity was gravely wounded by the forefathers of Annihilation, the Champion Civilization, there hadn’t been much activity.

In the tasks of the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were no movements from the followers of the Great Impurity. Otherwise, the Great Tang would really be in trouble. With the rebels of Chaos ahead and catastrophic plagues behind, even if they were victorious in the end, the losses would be significant.

And in the task of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword, only the followers of Blood River, Pleasure, and The Deceivers were involved in the ambush against Li Changhe. Followers of the Great Impurity, at least, had not yet been detected.

In fact, compared to other Evil Gods, the Great Impurity posed a greater threat to humanity.

Blood River was brutal and belligerent, Pleasure indulged in corruption, The Deceivers... who knows what shady things they’re plotting.

But if these three Evil Gods don’t invade on a large scale, their threat level is ultimately controllable.

Yet the Great Impurity’s authority is that of plagues and decay. If it were to quietly commence in the main world, the entire world would suffer a calamity. By the values of those Westerners, they’d probably think it was some major flu.

Unexpectedly, the Great Impurity made a move this time. Within the world of the ninety-nine cities of Netherworld. It was the first time the Plague Legion had been deployed.

Had He finally recovered from His injuries, or did He decide not to stay silent any longer?

"If it really is the Plague Legion, then the upcoming situation doesn’t look good." At this time, the Minister of Military Industry, who had come over upon hearing the commotion and was wiping her hair with a towel, clearly had just washed up, preparing to rest. But she was woken up by the emergency information.

"What do you mean?" Seeing this, Chen Yu stepped forward to help dry her hair. The Minister of Military Industry’s hair was much longer than Chen Yu’s. She seemed to be imitating something.

"According to the survivors from the messenger squad, that legion, after defeating a giant city’s defense forces, is advancing toward our border city," said the minister of military production. "From your perspective, there are about fifty thousand men, no large fleet; the majority are land units of the Plague Legion. Can our border city handle them?"

The Plague Legion did not have large warships. Perhaps because they had just joined the war, and more ships had yet to arrive.

Even so, the Plague Legion had a large number of ground combat weapons, including some support ships.

They also had mighty demons and Demon Generals. As for Demigod Projections, it was still too early to say.

If such a legion were truly to attack the border city... with Li Changhe’s fleet and the giant city’s defense forces, a Chaos Legion of this size shouldn’t be too much of a problem. However... the plague...

"No need to guess," Chen Yu interrupted. "Win or lose, the border city will be the loser. The Plague Legion, as the name suggests, will spread the plague. They will cast the Great Impurity’s concocted plague broth upon the earth. Even if they are annihilated outside the high walls of the giant city, the border city would no longer be habitable. Unless you want to be infected with the plague."

"I feel the same way," said the minister of military production, nodding his head.

"Therefore, we must strike first, annihilating the enemy at a great distance outside the giant city. Then violently purify their remains to ensure the plague is completely halted," Li Changhe added. "So, what’s the giant city’s plan?"

"As expected from you, always so astute," said the minister of military production with a laugh.

Although she was this world’s Chen Yu, her personality seemed somewhat different.

In the main world, Chen Yu would usually mooch food and drinks, often bantering and complaining with Li Changhe.

However, the minister of military production freely praised Li Changhe, saying, "The Border City Master hopes that the defense forces will mobilize some troops in coordination with your human Champion fleet. The expedition against the Plague Legion will obliterate them in the wilderness far from the giant city. They should have already assembled and be on their way to Dock Three."

"Good," Li Changhe nodded, and said to Jiang Qi, "Sound the alarm, count the soldiers, prepare to set sail. Eradicating the Plague Legion, the sooner the better."

"We can’t all go, even if we eliminate the Plague Legion, the warriors on the expedition won’t be able to return to the giant city in a short time," came the voice of Moon God. "Besides, it won’t be good for you to use your power, and you would risk exposing yourself."

He said to Li Changhe, "Let Seahorse President and me handle this time. You and Xiaoqiu should continue to stay in the giant city, watching out for those alien players."

Li Changhe thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

Indeed, an unknown number of alien players had already infiltrated the giant city, so caution was necessary.

Moreover, the timing of this Plague Legion’s emergence seemed rather delicate.

If there was a connection between the Plague Legion and the alien players... could it mean they were intentionally dividing the giant city’s defensive strength?

"Given that, it’s good to take precautions..." Li Changhe issued an order to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was somewhat puzzled but still nodded in agreement.
