A strange world

Chapter 1087 Section 9. Traitor? Old friend? warrior!

Annan and Olmedo are located a few miles away in the countryside.

Losi led his men to clean up here and stood on a low hill listening to the report of adjutant Sirdan.

"We found a frozen corpse of a ratman with its chest cut open. There were also footprints and this missing arrow..."

Adjutant Sirdan took out an ordinary birch cocktail feather arrow that he tried to shave straight but could not escape the limitations of raw materials.

"Are there humans around?"

When Losi was surprised, soldiers from the front arrived and reported the discovery of an "Orion".

"Go over and have a look."

Could it be that this area is full of rat people, demons, and a gathering place for humans?

Far away, Losi saw a man standing with several soldiers. He looked like a big rat wearing rat-man fur and holding a bow and arrow.

The moment his eyes touched, Losi suddenly froze and looked at the bearded Orion: "Are you...Krian?"

Kerrian's eyes revealed nostalgia: "Loxi..."

Losey couldn't believe that she would meet Kerrian, who had chosen to leave in the sheltered town, or on the outskirts of Breeze City.

Adjutant Sirdan next to him also looked surprised.

"Why are you back...?"

"Because this is home."

Knowing that they were old acquaintances of the legion commander, the soldiers walked away and continued to clean up the surrounding area.

"I mean...what are you doing here?"

"Our home has been occupied by ratmen. I want to come back, kill them one by one, and rebuild our home."

Kerrian's eyes stayed on the soldiers, and Losi continued: "You are lucky to have met me. If you meet Femi, you may be arrested."

"You call me inhumane, Losey."

Crunch——

The sound of stepping on the snow sounded, and crimson plate armor that was different from the gold plate armor painted by the Guards Corps appeared.

"Fermi..."

Kerian whispered the identity of the person who came out, and his eyes fell on his missing arm: "It seems that a lot of things happened."

Femi nodded gently to him and looked at Losi: "Krian and the others left with the consent of Mr. Annan and Mr. Olmedo. Even if they meet again, they will only be old friends."

The three of them were refugees and had a good relationship until they parted ways in the asylum town.

Thinking of it, Losi still lamented: "Do you know what you missed?"

At Xingyue Bay, Kerrian was more valued by Annan than Losi and Fermi. If he had not left, he should have been the commander of the Guards Corps or another direct legion.

"You can see that," said Kerian.

These soldiers wore sophisticated plate armor that could only be found in private soldiers of noble lords. They also had rat heads and blood graffiti on their chests. Each of them was an elite who had killed dozens of ratmen.

"What happened after you left?"

They listened to what happened after Crean left in the cold wind on the outskirts of Breeze City.

Kerrian refused the recruitment from the surrounding forces and headed north with those who were willing to follow him.

In addition to the long distance, there are bandits and ratmen blocking the road. They died and were wounded, and when they finally returned to the north, only two of them were dead. The other one also died of a wound infection not long after.

Kerian himself was left, and he was lucky enough to walk the rest of the way and stay on the outskirts of Liberty City to sneak attack on the lone ratman.

Losi was the most excited when he learned that Kerrian was not defecting: "We will help you plead with Mr. Annan to let you come back!"

Kerian was stunned: "Can I still go back?"

"You are not a deserter! As long as you tell Lord Annan what you said to me again, Lord Annan will definitely let you come back because of old friendship!"

Kerrian smiled bitterly: "I let Lord Annan down, he will not forgive me..."

…

"I won't forgive him!"

Annan shouted, pointing at Michael who was hiding behind Master Dumbledore: "You took my money, used my time, wasted my expectations, and now you tell me that I haven't improved!?"

It's no wonder that the gift he prepared for Michael a few days ago was "a bag of gold coins", which was a good thing that Ilimoyas thought about day and night!

"This is how alchemy is, we have to find success among countless failures..." Dumbledore said for Michael.

“You mean ninety-nine percent sweat and one percent luck?”

"Yes, that's it."

Annan calmed down and felt that the burden he had placed on Michael was indeed a bit heavy...

Although Michael has been following him since Breeze City, after all, he is only a mage who has just reached the fourth level.

Annan was anxious because Bronzebeard had already built the first "revolver", but there was a problem with the bullet, or gunpowder: it did not support high-intensity firing.

Now that we have a revolver that can fire continuously, will the Skaven still be a hidden danger?

The problem is that the improved gunpowder used now will produce a lot of smoke and waste after being activated. These things will clog the barrel of the gun. Therefore, soldiers wipe the musket after every battle not only to make the gun spirit happy, but also to wipe off these attachments. Wear something to avoid explosion.

With the firing efficiency of the revolver, there is a risk of the chamber exploding after just a few minutes of use.

Switching to orichalcum won't work either. Although it will not explode, the attachments will still accumulate in the barrel and block the bullet.

"Then let's take it slow first..."

There is no point in rushing to improve technology. All we can do is wait for the alchemy apprentices trained by the school to recruit more alchemists.

However, the trade between Free City and the Kingdom about purchasing muskets has been put on the agenda. With muskets, they can hold on for a long time... There is no need to worry about the start of a new war for the time being.

It shouldn't be necessary...

As for the ash charcoal brought back, Dumbledore said that it was indeed related to the Mage Tower. Annan gave it to Lilith, and after getting the affirmation, he handed it to her.

"I need time to digest it."

"How long will it take?"

"Not too long... She will wake up before returning." Lilith said.

Annan is looking forward to whether Lilith will have new changes. As soon as he returned to the city lord's mansion, the maid Abby brought guests to visit.

"Tasya, why are you here?" Annan said happily.

"Hey, can't you see me?" Brino Janna next to him said in a bad tone.

"Tasia is too tall and blocks my view." Annan explained casually, guessing their purpose: "Do you want to go to the ground to play?"

"Not to play, but to do something." Brino Janna corrected, "We are going to the Snow Mountain Fortress to have a look."

"Snow Mountain Fortress... There are demons everywhere now, it's very dangerous."

"But it's worth it."

Annan's eyes lit up: "Is there a treasure?"

Huh——

The room suddenly darkened, and a huge and beautiful vertical pupil appeared outside the window: "I heard you talking about treasure."

"Indeed." Brino Janna thought for a while and said.

"Really?"

"When the western part of the fortress fell, many soldiers did not react. The demons were only interested in flesh and blood. Their weapons and relics were probably thrown aside."

Annan's black eyes and the dragon pupils outside the window lit up at the same time: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Brino Janna breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it would take a lot of words to convince Annan... Wait a minute.

"What did you say, go with us?"
