A strange world

Chapter 324 Chapter 177. Cleanup

The New Initial docked in a cloudy harbor.

In the cold sea breeze, a group of soldiers stepped onto the port in an orderly queue. The weapons they held were like spears, and the blood graffiti on the right chest of the refined plate armor washed away the childishness of their faces.

Losey stepped on the dock, squinting slightly as he looked at the corrupt port surrounded by crows. As the captain, his plate armor is as clean as new because he didn't kill the ratmen in the last battle, but Losey doesn't know why Lord Annan has...

He planned to kill some ratmen himself in this trial. As a soldier captain personally appointed by Lord Annan, he could not be less powerful than his subordinates.

Da da--

The crisp sound of leather boots on the deck came from behind. Losey raised his head and saw Fast leaning against the side of the ship, wearing a tilted captain's hat: "I wish you good luck."

Losey nodded solemnly, glanced at the parchment one last time, let go of his hand and let the sea wind sweep it into the ocean.

[The rat plague hit the royal capital from south to north and tore it apart. But the splattering rat tide is still devastating the towns along the way. Yongye Port is lucky but unfortunate. Unfortunately, it was occupied by pirates and ratmen. Fortunately, you can change its fate. 】

[The main force of the rat tide has gone north, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left here. This is the hatching place of warriors and the burial ground of rat men. Your next task: clean up Yongye Port and make it a port of call for Xingyue Bay in the future. 】

[The water elements have cleaned up and garrisoned the port. The port is a typhoon shelter for you. You can return at any time in case of danger. But be careful, returning to the port means the trial is over]

…

Annan experienced a life and death crisis.

Specifically, when picking up Ilimoyas's gold coins, its vertical eyes kept vibrating, and the undulating pressure made the ghost and skeleton tremble, as if it was spitting out a breath of dragon's breath at any time.

Fortunately, Annan didn't let outsiders come to Blue Dragon's "boudoir". He just spent dozens of minutes loading the gold coins into the treasure box on the cart.

"Remember your promise...100 gold coin interest every month."

Ilimoyas seemed to be sick, lying listlessly on the bare stone mountain, the swinging dragon tail splashing gravel.

"What do you want to eat today? I'll ask the servant to prepare it." Annan comforted Lan Long who was in a bad mood.

"My treasure..."

A low roar shook the air, and Annan took the opportunity to sneak out of the lair quietly.

Ingrid's Interior Secretary, Annan stood aside with his hands on his hips and asked the guards to open the treasure chest on the cart.

"How much is this?"

Ingrid walked out of the official residence while talking to the staff, as busy as a city lord.

"About 2,000 gold coins!"

"These gold coins..." Ingrid was still thinking about where she got the money. Annan waved his hand, "Take it first and use it. If there is not enough, I will ask for it."

Blue Dragon also had some collectibles and gems, but Annan didn't borrow them because they were difficult to value and also difficult to return.

"good."

The harvest from the banquet plus these gold coins can almost maintain Xingyue Bay's current progress until next year.

Before the treasure chest was moved into the mansion, Ingrid heard about the origin of the money——

Annan pushed the trolley out of the Blue Dragon's lair without hiding his whereabouts, and Xingyue Bay had no secrets... It didn't take long for people in Xingyue Bay to spread the news that even the blue dragons could not escape the fate of being exploited by Annan.

Knowing this, Annan didn't care. He ran to Aunt Susan and asked her to help make a giant apple pie in the shape of a pile of gold coins. Then he returned to the Lord's Mansion and asked about the situation in Yongye Port.

…

"Seventeen."

boom--

Smoke burst out from the muzzle of the magic musket, and the rat man twenty yards away fell down.

Dozens of musketeers were scattered on the streets about three hundred meters away from the port. They neither huddled together nor spread out from each other, maintaining a loose yet cohesive formation as they advanced.

Fermi put down his musket and insisted on loading new ammunition before rubbing his shoulders, but he only touched the cold plate armor.

"Are you making the same old habit again?" The relaxed Sirdan shouldered his musket and walked towards the rat man's corpse.

"It's out of the way."

Femi didn't like the plate armor, especially the pain in his right shoulder that was getting worse, but he didn't like having his belly cut open by the rat-men's claws, just like his sister...

"Don't come here. When you came up, Captain Losi warned you to take a rest."

Sirdan put down his musket, pulled out a dagger, squatted next to the rat man, and cut off his ear with a look of disgust. Fermi looked at the surrounding houses and streets and said, "You'd better not think that."

"Why?"

"How many Skaven are there here?"

"Thousands!"

"How many of us are there?"

"100...600 people."

"Six hundred people divided into ten thousand rats?"

Sirdan stopped and said, "You want to take the Centurion?"

Centurion was the soldier's description of the meritorious service of killing a hundred ratmen with bright red blood. Sirdan was surprised that Fermi actually thought so.

"Why not? When we go back, we have to replace others, just like we replaced others. But as long as we persist, we will have a chance to get the red blood meritorious service."

Sirdan cut off the mouse's ears, turned around and walked towards him: "No, Femi... your name doesn't sound like a hero."

As he finished speaking, he saw Fermi suddenly raise his musket towards him.

"You...you're crazy!"

"eighteen."

After spitting out a number coldly, Fermi pulled the trigger. Smoke rose, and the eyes of a rat-man crawling out of the ravine exploded.

"Are you the one who's crazy? Are you willing to risk your life for Mouse Ears?"

Fermi continued to meticulously open the chamber of the gun and load the bullet.

Sirdan couldn't help but touch his buzzing ears and grinned: "Who asked this to be related to the merits of our future hero Fermi?"

Fermi looked around and saw a team of musketeers passing by in the distance. He waved to them, then snatched away the musket held by Serdan and stuffed it into his arms: "Remember, we can only kill ratmen with muskets. Get your weapons!"

"The soldier commander's plate armor seems to be still clean." Sirdan held the musket and looked towards Losi: "Maybe we have finished beating the soldier commander."

"Isn't there a rat-man resident in our Xingyue Bay? Let's borrow an ear from him."

…

Aunt Susan and her sisters prepared the "gold coin pie" that Annan asked for, loaded it on the cart and went to the blue dragon's lair.

But Ilimoyasi would rather let it rot than take a bite. Her listless look made Annan heartbroken. In order to appease it, Annan spent 100 gold coins in exchange for 10,000 silver coins in two taverns and shops in Xingyue Bay.

Before the cart entered the lair, the blue dragon lying on the rocky mountain raised its head.

Annan grabbed a handful of silver coins and introduced to Elimoas: "I'm here to help you decorate the nest. The advantages of silver coins: first, they are money. Second, they are similar to gold coins. Third, they can also make a pleasant clattering sound. .”

After a while, Annan, who had coaxed Ilimoyas, just walked out of the lair and returned to the Lord's Mansion when he saw Leila running downstairs holding the fire crow in her left hand and waving the letter in her right hand.

"Sister, I promised to come!"
