Nova Roma

Chapter 107

In the meeting room, Flavio was talking to Lucius his stepfather and leader of the defense of the city of Origin Civitatem "We have to change the city"s protocols for pandemics, my daughter has told me disturbing news about Rome.


This shows that we are very vulnerable to this kind of problem if Rome could fall in just one day and cause society to fragment, it is necessary to make a change of roots.


a.n.a.lyzing the problem is the lack of protection against epidemics and the poor preparation of citizens to follow rules. "


Flavio pulled a book with a green cover from one of his bookshelves "I wrote this book a long time ago and hoped it would be implemented in some future but the situation warrants.


I will create a government body called civil protection that includes police, firefighters, paramedics and the city guard in its ranks.


The explosion of volcanoes, tremors and what happened in Rome, show that prevention is better than regret, for the proper functioning the number of troops and the training they receive will be increased.


It is important to say that if you do not have protocols in the city it can collapse and cause anarchy to prosper, I will hand you this book I hope you can organize civil protection.


On the other hand, I will ask Taneri to help you and together they will establish the Epidemiological Risk Prevention Center, its operating center will be temporarily the Origin Civitatem hospital but in the future, it will have its building.


ERPC (Epidemiological Risk Prevention Center) workers will receive training in chemistry, biology, and medicine.


Its main mission is to find possible diseases that can be transmitted among the population of Nova Roma and cause an epidemic, they will also have to look for cures for these diseases or solutions to prevent the spread. "


Lucio looked at Flavio with doubt "For solutions to prevent the spread do you mean exterminate?"


Flavio smiled at his stepfather"s question "Exterminate, exile or isolate, any of those options is good, it sounds cruel but sometimes the death of some can save millions.


ERPC agents will have to have special training to be cold and calculating, for the work they will do there can be no feelings of compa.s.sion or they can cause damage that may kill Miles.


I hope you are careful to choose the first members of this organization, you can retire Lucio and remember that any questions you can ask me do not take long in the foundation of these two organizations. "


Lucio retired with some sweat on his forehead, he had a lot of work to do.


While this was happening in Origin Civitatem, in the construction of the deep defense Amancio was in charge of reviewing the trenches.


While walking looking at some planes, he received information that refugees from areas near the volcanoes erupted in the center of the Anahuac region.


"We boys have news that we are going to receive free labor force, orders have come to they need to fill the sacks with ash, No one of refuges can pa.s.s if it does not fill 2 bags of ash for adults and 1 for children.


When they finish some of them will stay with us and others will be taken to other provinces to balance the population of the empire.


I don"t want to see them distracted. We don"t know under what conditions the refugees arrive, if they will be peaceful or aggressive, anyone who is not taking care of their places will be punished. "


At that moment a messenger arrived at Amancio and handed him a letter from the east side of the fortifications, while he read it he could hear his soldiers were surprised and some of them shout "Quinametzin" (Giant in Nahuatl).


When Amancio raised his head he could see a group of 20 giants, these were very similar to the giants of the d.a.m.n jungle in size, but these did not seem to be aggressive.


Quickly a group of Centaur Inquisitors approached the Quinametzin "Good afternoon Quinametzin, we are the Inquisitors of this sector if you wish to enter we ask you to join us to fill out some forms."


The Quinametzin were surprised to see half-human beasts, but they knew from the merchants that Nova Roma had strict rules for any kind of being that was not human but at the same time, they had privileges depending on their qualities.


The leader of the small tribe was a very old giant. "Good afternoon, inquisitors, we are the tribe of the Mallinalli, we are fleeing from the tribe of the Cuauhtli who have been chasing us since the explosion of the Popocatepetl volcano.


They want to catch us to kill us and give us as a sacrifice for the mother Tonantzin so that she avoids more volcanic explosions, but we were not willing to die so we escaped and hope she can help us. "


The inquisitors accepted and guided the tribe of Quinametzin through the fortifications of the deep defense when in the distance 50 giants dressed in Ayate clothes and armed with Macuahuitl were obsidian swords.


The giants slowly approached while Amancio who watched the scene ordered that the troops, mainly the snipers, be prepared to end the approaching threat.


The troops began to occupy their positions to be able to face the giants, thanks to the experience of fighting against the giants of the cursed jungle they knew very well the weaknesses of the giants.


With all the troops in position, when the group of 50 well-armed giants arrived, their leader came out and shouted "I am the leader of the Cuauhtli tribe, I come to ask you to give us the members of the Malinalli tribe if they do we will retire and get our respect.


Otherwise, we will have to go for them no matter how many of you kill on the road, it depends on you if you want to die or can deliver us to the Malinalli tribe and this never happened. "


The snipers heard the screams pointed their carbine towards the head of the Giant, waiting for him to make any attack movement to be able to send it to the new tartar ...
