The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 244 - Great Planning
Lotus flowers move slowly due to small waves in the pond containing koi fish. In a gazebo a man in his robe was sipping a warm tea drink, a smile rose on both corners of the lips and a muttering sound was heard.
"I know you're capable, Pillar of Shadow."
There was no need to turn his head Emperor Qin knew the summoned person was already facing behind him.
"The Night Wolf is destroyed. With all future action and planning, this outbreak should be over five years at most" he said. Xin Chen sat in front of the stone table, warm tea already provided by the Emperor's servants. The man pulled the sleeve of his robe with one hand, thrusting the drink.
Xin Chen nodded, Emperor Qin has always been kind to him. Though everything he did was an obligation, as a child of the Xin clan protecting the Shang Empire was a responsibility. Xin Chen had never counted anything he had done for the Empire.
"In this way one great threat has been eliminated, the fine work of the Pillar of Shadow."
"Your Majesty is too proud."
Emperor Qin chuckled, "Your father, Xin Zhan and now you, you are my confidants. Appreciation alone will not be enough to avenge all your services to this Empire."
"At that time, I was so shocked when you said the apocalypse was coming." Emperor Qin began to explain, "You look at the situation with your own eyes, what happened in the Wei Empire is a very big thing and very likely to spread."
Emperor Qin knew very well, all those threats and dangers could not be ignored. Moreover, Xin Chen himself told her.
"If you had lied and hid everything from me, we couldn't have dealt with this plague so easily."
That time Xin Chen remembered his father's words, though they sounded like boring old man advice but proved them to be true.
Be honest, even though the truth is more bitter than a lie.
Large roads were built with high fences, roads that were used to carry the residents from being infected and to evacuate them in a safe place. In addition, on Seizu Island, all parts are tightly guarded by Fighters and Soldiers, barriers and complete weapons are deployed in the face of infected attacks.
All the orders of Emperor Qin were executed very well. Advisors, councils and elders were also instrumental in determining the fate of the Shang Empire.
But all the praise of Emperor Qin, to Xin Chen it was excessive. They talked about the plague and the grand plan that Emperor Qin had prepared. Until suddenly Xin Chen spoke the one thing that made Emperor Qin anxious.
"Eliminating the outbreak won't be that easy" he said.
"The only thing that can stop the virus is the blood of the Son of Satan that existed in the early history of this plague. He no longer exists. And that blood won't be enough to heal millions."
He had thought about this for quite a while and said without hesitation, "The one who has been bitten is incurable, the only option is to exterminate them."
"Isn't that action the same as a circle that never has an end?"
Emperor Qin understood what he was thinking.
Today they burned one human, but ten humans were infected. The more they destroy the circle continues to spin until human destruction is accomplished. Because all of that goes on for years, if all humans could be isolated for five years without contact with the outside world maybe waiting for the outbreak to subside and eradicating the infected could be the solution.
Emperor Qin could not guarantee that humans could live without being connected to the outside world. They will fall if no one grows crops, seeks food, produces and other functions of society are stopped.
One conclusion, all of that is impossible. As Xin Chen said.
"However, I found one man who was the mastermind behind the outbreak."
Emperor Qin furrowed his brows. "May he be alive after everyone has suffered for his actions!" The man stomped his fist on the table, the only time Xin Chen saw him get angry like that.
"Feng Yong has the answer" he added.
"Demon's Tears."
"You know the location?"
"Right now Qin Yujin must be looking for him, I can't catch up to him yet because the circumstances here should take precedence."
Emperor Qin's fist tightened, his brother had created endless bloodshed. Unfortunately after deploying hundreds of people to capture Qin Yujin, not a single piece of fresh news came. Qin Yujin is very difficult to catch.
"If he drinks it, I can guarantee he can conquer this world alone."
Pallidly started to dye Emperor Qin's face, he repeated seriously hoping Xin Chen didn't lie, he didn't take this trivial. "You sure about that?"
"Just my guess."
Xin Chen added, "lately my premonition has been very strong. And most of it really is."
A second later Emperor Qin woke up from his seat, "It's not time to relax. I'll send as many troops as possible to stop him."
"I'll come along" Xin Chen proposed and obtained a rejection from the Emperor. "There's an important mission that needs you" he explained. Emperor Qin gestured to the servant guarding nearby, he came after picking up a scroll tied with a gold braid rope, an official stamp and the emblem of the Qing Empire on the end of the paper.
That's very important. Emperor Qin widened the scroll, reading out its contents to Xin Chen.
Request for help from the Qing Empire.
They had difficulty facing that crisis, without the preparation and planning of the Qing Empire being on the verge of collapse.
Two districts turned into seas of infected feces. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers became fearsome enemies, they were hard to kill because they were coated in iron armor. Burning is useless. Thousands of lives were lost just to stop the massive turmoil in the two districts. District 1 and District 6.
Emperor Qin had already considered as best he could, in such a difficult time working together might be able to benefit both sides. Even though they had been enemies for decades, Emperor Qin had to pull it off.
He also definitely needed the other party's helping hand. Because of this, Emperor Qin intended to help them by sending an emissary from the Shang Empire. It is rumored that urban and rural areas are equally bad, especially the peripheral areas connected to the Wei Empire. Can't be saved anymore. They built a fortress to save the rest of the surviving humans.
And now it seemed that Emperor Yin was running out of steps. The Wei Empire did not respond either, they were crushed and by this time most of the leaders had been killed. While the other two Empires had trouble saving themselves and had to rely on each other to survive the crisis.
"His Majesty asked me to come there?"
Xin Chen recalled Emperor Yin's treatment of him, making the young man fed up.
"Emperor Yin mentioned one or a group of people who were able to eradicate the undead, your name has spread to all directions, Chen. I trust you, you can handle this."
Xin Chen had no intention of retracting his words anymore. He would save anyone, regardless of where they came from. After hearing Emperor Qin's long explanation, Xin Chen agreed.
"Your departure is in one more day, because this is an emergency mission we don't have much time."
"All right, Your Majesty. Leave it to me."
