A strange world

Chapter 1174 Section 96. Charming the Skaven

It's not impossible. The finances of Free City can support him to do so, not to mention that Annan has a strange dependence on the city wall.

The 30-meter-high wall of Xingyue Bay still stands there, hurting the cervical vertebrae of countless Skavens and Skavens who think there are treasures on it.

It seems that the more walls, the higher and the thicker, the safer Free City is-but Free City is a floating city.

Annan believes that floating Free City is the last resort. If you can protect the entire territory, why flee in panic?

The two deputy city lords agreed with him. After all, concrete is very suitable for building city walls. It is strong and durable, and the cost is low. The only problem is... Such a large-scale construction of fortifications, to defend against whom, Skavens and demons?

But how to make the empire believe it?

Speaking of which, Annan's words to scare the surrounding forces are not necessarily false. In April, the muddy and rotten land formed by the melting of ice and snow in the north is almost dry, and there are still four or five months before the rainy season. If the rats and demons want to do something, this is the best time.

Throw the pot on the rats?

"What are Maria and Gale doing recently?" Annan asked.

"Maria pretended to be in the same group with the rats and leaked the false news we deliberately released. Gale pretended to be in the same group with us and secretly contacted the Stunn rats."

"I'll ask Gale."

There is no need to continue this banquet.

Annan glanced out the window casually and saw Cathy chasing several boys.

...

Cathy, Ivana and the little blue dragon Grasti, who had finished early school, walked on the street.

As she walked, she urged Ivana, who was walking slowly at the back: "Hurry up, there are a lot of delicious food at the banquet!"

"Food will not be more delicious if you arrive a few minutes earlier, nor will it disappear if you arrive a few minutes later." Ivana, who was still in the teething period, spoke with a lisp, but looked like a little adult.

"But I can eat it a few minutes earlier!"

Cathy was about to pull Ivana away, when she suddenly saw Lily running in front, followed by three boys holding branches chasing behind.

"Stop!"

Cathy threw away her backpack and rushed out, followed by Grasti, and finally Ivana who picked up the backpack.

Grasti half-glided and pressed one down, and Cathy grabbed another. Ivana did nothing, but the remaining boy stood there in silence, not daring to move.

"Meow~" Lily stopped.

Cathy grabbed the branch, grabbed the boy and beat him.

"I told you not to bully Lily! I told you not to bully Lily! I told you not to bully Lily!"

After giving all three boys a lesson, Cathy put her hands on her hips and kicked them one by one: "If I see you bullying Lily again, I will peel off your skin and use it as boots!"

"Woo-wah--"

All the boys had been beaten before, but the worst scolding they had received was just saying that you were ugly and that no one wanted you. Suddenly touching the "adult realm", they immediately cried and ran away.

Cathy turned around, picked up Lily and examined her carefully. After finding no injuries, she held her in her arms with confidence and walked into the city lord's mansion.

...

"Hey, Gail."

Knocking on the door of the female ratman who had locked herself in the room, Annan greeted with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

Gail asked vigilantly. She blocked the door, blocking the scene behind the door tightly.

"Abby said you haven't come out for a few days, I'm worried..."

"Just this?"

Gail was unmoved. She had sold too much information about the Saints. If the elders knew about it, they would be sentenced to death...

"Not really. I want to ask you, are the Stoon rats going to move south?"

"I don't know."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't tell me, Maria will tell me." Annan was about to leave.

"Maria? She doesn't dare, and she doesn't know." Gale said with mockery. How could a brown-haired rat be compared with her.

"What about the Rat King?"

"Rat King?" Gale was stunned.

"Well, the Rat King of the Thrane Clan that I met in the Elf King's Court." Annan deliberately said to Gale: "We became good friends."

Gail hesitated a little, subconsciously thinking that Annan was lying, but it was credible.

The Thrane Clan is different from the Stoon Clan. They are more secular, or... closer to races.

Just like the rat people of the human race, the elves, and the beasts.

Gale vaguely remembered that the Holy Clan had twelve clans, and the Thrane clan was added later. As for why they were not affected by the Rat God, Gale didn't know. That seemed to be a deeper secret of the Holy Clan.

Gale had a sense of crisis, which was keenly captured by Annan: "Can I go in?"

"No!"

"You look so disappointing... Do you remember when we first met?" Annan said regretfully.

"Why don't you remember? You and that brown rat caught me and made me betray the Holy Clan!"

It seems that appeasement doesn't work...

"That was you who tried to seduce me first." Annan's tone became low: "Gale, you don't want to betray the clan secrets to the elders..."

"You..."

Gale straightened his tail, and Annan took advantage of the gap and forced his way into the bedroom.

Staring at the back of Annan's neck, Gale had countless ideas in his mind, but finally gave them up.

She knew that Annan carried a bunch of amulets with him, and if she really did that, she would be the one who was unlucky.

Because the Council of Elders thought Annan could be turned against the government...

Annan looked around but didn't find anything suspicious.

Gail seemed to know what Annan was looking for, and sneered: "I didn't do anything, I just don't want to contact you."

Annan didn't comment, turned around and said to the exotic and beautiful Gael with ratman features: "Gail, we are friends, and the Stuen ratman and I are not enemies. You don't have to be wary of me. I just want to help you."

"Help us?"

"The McKeon ratmen took over the North, and the ratmen are praising them, but without your Stuen clan, how could they be so successful? Your Stuen clan has been working in the North for a long time, but the fruits of victory were taken away by the McKeon ratmen...Are you really willing?"

Gail felt that these words were familiar, but they did hit the point that the Stuen ratmen cared about the most.

They almost arrived at this cold land with humans, and planned here for hundreds of years, but ended up burning it, and were laughed at for doing nothing...

Gail almost succumbed to Annan's whispering, and she regained consciousness with the pain of biting her tongue: "No matter what you say, I don't want to betray the Holy Clan again."

Annan's whisper was like a hand, brushing across Gale's cheek: "You are wrong, Gale. I don't intend to let you betray the Stoon clan, but after all, it is our common enemy, isn't it?"

"Enemy...people?"

"Yes, enemy. The North should have belonged to you, but it was occupied by the McKeon clan, and they laughed at you for being trash... Aren't they enemies?"
