The conversation with Yaevin went fairly smoothly.
He was once an officer in the Vrihedd Brigade, having participated in the Nilfgaardian War. Compared to ordinary Scoia'tael members who were heavily influenced by emotion, he understood better what it meant to know when to yield and when to compromise.
"I apologize, Mr. Yaevin."
"I received intelligence that you plan to attack Vizima City and rescue your kin in the Old Quarter while Foltest's army is out of the city."
"I'm a straightforward person."
"Doing so will not only fail to rescue your companions but will only harm yourselves and, incidentally, affect the living environment of other non-human races in Temeria."
"I was entrusted by a friend to help you, which is why I decided to step in and stop you."
Guilliman was still the same, preferring to speak his mind directly.
When conversing with this Scoia'tael leader, he didn't bother to hide his thoughts.
Listening to Yaevin constantly frown, he found it somewhat baffling.
"You chose to help us this way?"
"Appearing suddenly and then attacking us, leaving half of our members injured."
"Witcher Guilliman, I've heard of your reputation."
"People say you're Princess Adda's lover. It seems you truly stand on the side of humans."
If I were an enemy, I would have killed you all just now.
Guilliman didn't voice such disrespectful words; he knew Yaevin was speaking out of anger.
No one could accept being perfectly fine and then suddenly being severely beaten by some inexplicable person who appeared out of nowhere.
In any case, most of the Scoia'tael members were injured and would likely be incapacitated for half a month.
He quietly watched the Scoia'tael leader, and after he finished speaking, he said:
"Tomorrow at noon, I will release the uninfected elves and dwarves from Old Vizima. "
"As for those confirmed to be infected, they must receive treatment; otherwise, the plague is very likely to spread."
"At that time, you can choose to persuade them to join the Scoia'tael with you or let them choose to live in the Valley of Flowers."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, the friend who asked me to help you is Madam Francesca, the current Queen of the Valley of Flowers."
"The elven race has now established a nation, and tens of thousands of elves are safely living in the Valley of Flowers. If you can let go of your hatred and return to a peaceful life."
"I hope you can consider that place."
Francesca! Hearing that name, Yaevin's brows furrowed unconsciously.
Perhaps for many ordinary elves, Queen Francesca was their savior, freeing them from a life threatened by humans, allowing them to live in their own country.
However, for the members of the Vrihedd Brigade, who were once incited by this queen, participated in the Nilfgaardian War, and were then betrayed and abandoned, the meaning of this name was quite complex.
They found it very difficult to forgive the queen who abandoned them.
Sacrificing a few for the many.
While many leaders make such difficult decisions, for those few who are sacrificed, their fate is truly tragic.
Guilliman didn't want to say much about this inglorious past.
In his opinion, Francesca was already a rather good leader, genuinely loving her people, at least far better than those foolish, greedy, or tyrannical idiots.
He looked at Yaevin, whose expression was complex and seemed to want to say something, and nodded, saying:
"The Valley of Flowers is an option for you. If you truly love your people, don't act too rashly."
"Give those of your people who can still live happy lives a chance to choose."
After speaking, he didn't bother to say anything more and directly followed the path to meet up with the dryad girl outside... The next morning, Guilliman personally went to Princess Adda to obtain a decree.
Then, accompanied by Margaret and Shani, two doctors from the magical and secular worlds, he came to Old Vizima to examine the patients.
Some uninfected civilians were rescued, while some severely ill ones were also isolated to prevent cross-infection.
At Guilliman's recommendation, Shani also became a chief medical officer responsible for handling the Catriona plague. Not only did she receive a decent salary, but she could also further test the effectiveness of her plague medicine on these patients.
