Andrew's report caught the attention of the Crusader Legion Commander.

He immediately gathered soldiers to check each tent, discovering that almost all the sick soldiers had festering sores on their backs.

A rough count showed that over twenty thousand soldiers were currently afflicted, and the number was rapidly increasing. The painful coughs of the soldiers echoed throughout the tents.

The good news was that no one had died yet, and the disease seemed to only spread among ordinary soldiers. Knights with Battle Aura in Dragonfire City showed no symptoms, and warriors with some cultivation only felt slight discomfort and occasional coughing, not reaching the stage of developing red sores on their backs.
