บท 224: Launching the Rescue

Theo's anxiety finally quelled when he learned that His Highness had a cure for the plague.

It was also good that he had things to get occupied with so that the next few days would pass faster.

Aside from visiting the wine manors in the countryside and arranging the carriages' routes, he also memorized the terrain of the road from the canal pier to the city gate.

At present, it was much more troublesome to enter the king's city. Due to the presence of refugees outside the city, every one of the city gates was sealed to prevent outsiders from entering. Especially because news had spread that the church was currently distributing the holy medicine, there were hordes of desperate people pounding on the city gates every day, hoping to go to the church to seek treatment. The guards on the city walls did not hesitate to respond with their bolts. Thus, there were piles of bodies at the entrances, giving off a foul smell under the scorching sun.
