A strange world

Chapter 335 Chapter 188. Annan’s Eight Unscrupulous Means

The few remaining ratmen wandered across the miles-long battlefield. They crouched in front of their companions, and like the crows that gathered in greater numbers, ate the rat meat that had not yet cooled down.

The startled crows made Annan uneasy, and he climbed onto Ilimayas's back again and headed for the battlefield.

There are also some ratmen hiding in the forest, and they should be the culprits that disturb the crows. The blue dragon hovered over the forest for several times, then suddenly flew to the south.

"What did you find?"

"Some evil existence..."

The blue dragon carried Annan until he approached Glacier Port, and then he saw a second wave of rats brewing.

The black tide is truly boundless, with more elite rat-men mixed in, as well as huge rats. And because of the commotion caused by the approach of the blue dragon, the green evil energy that lit up showed that the rat priest was also among them.

All Annan's pride suddenly went out at this moment.

They relied on a long front and exhausted all the fortifications before they eliminated the first wave of rats under the city wall. But now, a larger, more powerful second wave of rats is approaching.

The city wall of Xingyue Bay is "only" twenty meters long... Fifty rat-man corpses can be piled on the city wall.

Annan pursed her lips and patted Ilimoyasi's back.

"Let's go back..."

The time of the apocalypse forecast was early December. Annan initially thought it was the time for the rat tide to arrive, but now it is only mid-November... What will happen in half a month? Xingyue Bay fell? Is it this wave of rats that has fallen into it?

Back in Xingyue Bay, Annan only told his friends the news for the time being.

"We won't all be elite rats in the end..."

The difference between ordinary Skaven and elite Skaven is like that of civilians and soldiers. They have armor, weapons, and strong bodies.

"No, we don't have anything here. But Breeze City will probably be like this."

Xingyue Bay is blessed by its remoteness.

In any case, Annan must deal with the second wave of rats and do whatever it takes to do so:

Annan mobilized all male subjects, trained them as militiamen, and at least learned to use muskets. Prior to this, Annan presided over a brief investiture ceremony: all two thousand musketeers were promoted to centurions.

The guardian mages who came to the aid praised these soldiers as truly elite.

The mage's praise built the musketeers' real confidence. They only knew how many ratmen they had killed before, and they knew that they were very powerful, but they still felt that they were shorter than the soldiers of Breeze City.

Now? The Knights of Breeze didn't kill as many Skaven as they did.

Fast's cowhide was so impressive that he broke into the hive to save people and killed the rat mother, but the number of rat people he killed was almost the same as a centurion.

The guardian mages took a slightly more serious look at the muskets. Annan therefore implemented the second unscrupulous method: "Are you interested in magic guns? You only need ten gold coins to buy one, and the price starts at ten."

"I just want to buy one." The stunned master said.

"I am the King of the North, and you are the Guardian Tutor of the Mage Tower. 10 gold coins are humiliating us." Annan sold 10 magic muskets to the Mage Tower through sophistry in exchange for 100 gold coins.

You can build two more magic cannons.

The third unscrupulous method was to have a team of musketeers follow Broken Tooth out of the city to see if they could instigate the rat people.

Then Annan came to the Wine Lady's house and tried the fourth unscrupulous trick.

The wine lady's wine manor was unfortunately on the way to the north of the rat people. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Annan used the portal to move her property to Xingyue Bay.

"I need to--"

When Annan was sitting on the fragrant sofa and just started to speak, he was interrupted by the wine lady.

"How much do you want? Sweetheart."

Annan lowered his head shyly: "I want them all."

"What a greedy boy..."

Ten minutes later, the old housekeeper ordered his servants to pile the last box of gold coins next to Annan.

Annan said sincerely to Lindy standing aside, "Thank you and your aunt."

"You don't need to thank us. Helping you is also helping us."

"But you could have run to Breeze, couldn't you?"

Annan took note of the Winchet family's help, drank an unknown number of bottles of magic potion, and opened the portal to Breeze City.

"Here are three thousand gold coins. I want to exchange them for six thousand gold coins of fine steel."

Olmedo thought he had heard wrong, and Annan took advantage of the opportunity to resort to unscrupulous means: "We paid an unbearable price to clean up the first wave of rats, but the second wave will arrive in three days... I'm afraid of the stars. Yuewan can’t resist.”

The magic potion that entered his stomach did not disappear, but still appeared in Annan's black eyes.

"Help me, Sister Olmedo."

"...Okay, the little daughter of Merlin Blacksmith is a fan of yours. I will invite her to the City Lord's Mansion later today and you will discuss it with her?"

Tears welled up in Annan's eyes at the thought of drinking the magic potion, making Olmedo unable to bear it: "Well, let me first send you the fine steel in stock in Breeze City..."

"Thank you...suck..."

Olmedo comforted Annan for a while, and as the portal closed, Annan's smile replaced his tears. He thought thoughtfully, is this the true ability of a warlock?

After coming back to his senses, Annan found that Lindy was still staring at him.

"You know...crying is the basic skill of an actor."

In order to save time, Annan returned to the Lord's Mansion while reciting bad words about Agarwal. In the distance, centurions were training militiamen:

"Raise the gun! Aim! Pull the trigger! Load the bullet! Raise the gun! Aim -"

With the sixth unscrupulous person, Annan knocked on Itilia's bedroom door.

"Sister, does that Fire Dragon Ancestor like anything? Shining gems?"

Annan thought that the blue dragon still had a few gems, and he could take them all to please the fire dragon...

"No, the Fire Dragon will help us for free..."

Itilia said, and then rubbed her ears as if she felt uncomfortable.

"The fire dragon ancestor is really a good dragon..." Annan said with emotion.

The seventh one is Lilith's by hook or by crook, but unfortunately she can't help.

In the evening, Broken Tooth and the others came back, bringing back dozens of ratmen. Annan used his charm to successfully make these rat men think that he was the Stun rat man, and then put them in plate armor, and let Broken Tooth and the Musketeers train for a few days, then placed them on the city wall, and asked Broken Tooth to bring the news to the third party. Second wave of rats.

On the fourth day, the second wave of rats arrived outside Xingyue Bay. They were relatively calm and did not attack immediately.

Annan felt happy and uneasy in his heart.

Fortunately, Broken Tooth succeeded, but uneasy about the rat tide and Xingyue Bay without any buffer. As long as they charge, they will appear on the city wall after one minute.

Fortunately, the fire dragon's world-destroying breath will teach them to be rats.

Annan, who was brewing the eighth unscrupulous man, imitated the attire of a rat man elder: wearing a gray robe and holding a spinal staff, he appeared on the city wall, looking down at the rat man priest wearing the same gray robe as him and the broken tooth next to him.
