A strange world

"Good morning, and maybe evening."

"Hello, do you need help?"

"Aunt Rat Man, did you come out so early or so late?"

Annan walked in the underground city, greeting the ratmen who passed by familiarly - he was preparing to become a member of the ratmen.

Well, actually it's to get closer to the core of the dungeon naturally. No matter where there is an exit, a key or an enemy, the remaining invisibility and Omlado rays can help him escape.

As the terrain beneath your feet gradually rises, the "stars" on the top of the rock become increasingly clear - they are not fluorite, but vein nodes that are spread throughout the entire top of the rock, forming an invisible network.

Even if Martin comes here, he can see that this context is closely related to the safety of Breeze City.

Are they supporting Breeze City from falling, or are they the culprits that will bring Breeze City down?

"These ores look heavy, do you need help?"

"We have to dig holes again. You should find some more help."

Annan still talked to every rat-man that passed by, but never really helped. He gradually came to the center of the underground city - a village actually appeared here.

The rat people seem to have established a habitat underground.

Annan walked into the village while being ignored by the rat people. There was a knocking sound in front of the stone house like a blacksmith shop. In front of the iron felt was... a dwarf rat?

Ratmen can breed with giants to produce wild rats, and it is not that surprising that dwarfs can produce dwarf rats.

While he was thinking, a shadow completely enveloped Annan.

"You idiot... get out of here." The rat said gruffly.

Annan gave up his position obediently.

Annan's brilliance was incompatible with the surrounding environment, but all the ratmen ignored him. This neglect made Annan gradually wanton, and even climbed to the core hill where elite ratmen were stationed.

"Thank you two fellow ratmen for your hard work."

Annan's greeting was ignored without any surprise, and he walked majestically into the area under martial law by the rat men.

The idea of ​​"this kind of long-haired thing actually made all races retreat steadily" emerged. Annan stepped onto the last rough stone steps, and then saw standing at the bottom of the pit an evil eye that he had seen in the corrupted village.

But this one was clearer, larger, and the trembling pupils were filled with an aura that made Annan uncomfortable.

Annan also saw that the evil eyes were connected to the veins all over the top of the rock - this is the core of all veins.

Thinking that he was half a rat-man, Annan cautiously moved closer and observed the evil eye.

…

The rat-man elder wearing goat horns held the evil energy ball in his claws, with a curious face appearing on his face.

The ratman elder looked to its side, and as if the surging magic power of the tide converged into a white light, dozens of staggering figures fell out of the teleportation - they were all entangled by the Weakness Technique.

"You're late, Augusta..." The rat man elder glanced at the rude human noble, "Why are there only these..."

"This is the reason why I came late." Augusta used a silence spell to shut up these cursing nobles. "They somehow discovered our plan and took away some nobles in advance."

"Because some people escaped, but it doesn't matter..." The gentle scarlet eyes of the rat man elder fell on the fluorescent green evil energy ball, "The King of the North is becoming a member of the Holy Race..."

Augusta's blue eyes fell on the evil energy ball, and saw a green ray similar to evil energy suddenly brightening, and the evil energy ball suddenly shattered.

The ratman elder's mind was torn apart by the burst of evil energy, he fell to the ground in pain, and his goat horns fell from his head.

"No……"

The ratman elder howled in pain, "You messed up everything, Augusta..."

Augusta Olmedo stared at it quietly: "It wasn't me, it was you. You shouldn't have let that boy live."

"It's us……"

The ratman elder climbed up from the ground, knelt on the ground, and carefully collected the broken pieces of the evil energy ball like a servant. "A King in the North who obeys us will gain more than Breeze City..."

"But 'we' even let him wreak havoc below, destroying the Eye of Evil." Augusta's tone seemed to be sarcastic, "You actually want to let this fake join us... you think he is just a mere Did you find the loophole in the mage tower by luck?"

"We don't have a chance, it's time to get out of here."

"There are no cowards in the Saints..."

The rat man elder picked up all the fragments and got up, put on the goat's horns, condensed the fragments into a ball of evil energy, embedded it into the scepter, and struck the ground.

The glued evil energy ball melted into the ground, invisible evil energy ripples spread out, and the eyes of the surrounding rat warriors showed a chilling scarlet color.

"Blood sacrifice to Chaos, city to Rat God!"

The Skaven Elder roared in Skaven. The ground cracked, and countless rat men crawled out of the underground cracks, gradually gathering into an endless tide outside Breeze City.

"The time has come for the decisive battle..."

Olmedo stood on the city wall and frowned at this scene.

At this time, a portal appeared next to Olmedo, and the mage from the Mage Tower jumped out: "The tower spirit asked me to tell you that the evil energy in the ground has disappeared!"

Olmedo's sadness disappeared, and a smile appeared: "He succeeded."

"But some nobles are still in the hands of the master... the rat man..." said the confidant next to him.

Olmedo looked at the blurry outline in the distance and whispered:

"Father, do you remember what you told me? The necessary sacrifices are worth it... I never could understand it before, but now, I know."

Olmedo pulled out his long sword and raised it high, its sharp sword shining brightly in the sun.

"City Guards, charge!"

The city gate opened, and countless cavalry poured out of the city gate. After a brief formation, they launched a charge with a momentum even more spectacular than a rat tide.

…

Annan, who shattered the Fel Eyes with the Omledor Ray, relied on his stealth skills to stay away from the elite ratmen who were attacking each other like crazy. He then escaped from the village and approached the path found next to the Fel Eyes that led to the base of the old mage tower. steep mountain road.

The fluorescent nodes covering the top of the rock disappeared, but the underground city did not collapse. Annan knew that he should have solved some kind of trouble.

When approaching the steep mountain road, Annan found a team of rat men opening up the mountain road. He quietly blended into the team and emerged after his remaining stealth skills failed - without attracting any attention.

"Danger!"

Annan deliberately rushed towards the rat man who was last. He avoided the fingernail-sized rocks falling from the rock wall, but the rat man he rescued accidentally fell down the rock wall more than ten meters high.

At first, no rat man cared about this. It was just an accident, an accident, until this kind of accident happened to every rat man.

Some rat men were "accidentally" knocked off the cliff, and Annan shouted that mosquitoes "accidentally" cracked their skulls. A few minutes later, Annan looked around and saw that all his companions were dead.

If anyone asks him how many ratmen he has killed this time, he can say the same as Catalina, "Do you remember how many glasses of wine you have had?"

After finishing all his teammates, Annan clung to the rock wall and came to the top of the mountain road alone. After seeing an open trap door, he stepped into the dusty old mage tower.
