A strange world

Chapter 840 Chapter 71. Execution

Instead of waiting for the warm soup and care, Broken Tooth was roughly shackled and locked up in a dungeon.

The crying Li Te was also taken away, and Broken Tooth hoped that he would be okay. They would never be so cruel as to spare the cubs of the same kind.

"Are you going to arrest me?"

Broken Tooth turned around and calmly questioned the jailer who locked the door without shouting like a rat man.

"Arrest? Of course not." The jailer said jokingly, "You will be executed."

"...Didn't you hear clearly? I am a soldier stationed in Hell Mountain, not a spy."

"It doesn't matter, whether you are a spy or a deserter, you will die."

Broken Tooth could no longer keep calm and squeezed to the fence, explaining loudly: "I am a citizen of Liberty City, a soldier fighting against the rat tide! I am not a spy!"

"I believe it, I believe it. We all know that your Annan City Lord has some quirks."

Broken Tooth tried to think in human terms, and then had a feeling - they not only hated themselves, but also hated Liberty City.

"Lord Annan will avenge me..."

"You mean to question the Orr Empire over an executed Skaven deserter?"

"What about Li Te? That boy, what are you going to do with him?"

"Same as you." The jailer suddenly had the illusion that he was talking to a human being.

Broken Tooth said sarcastically: "Slandering a child as a spy and killing him? I thought only rat men would do this."

"None of your business!"

These words made the jailer hesitate a little, and he knocked on the iron bars with anger: "Hurry up and enjoy your last moments!"

The jailer left, and Broken Tooth sat silently on a pile of dirty wet straw.

The dungeon environment is harsh, but it has experienced the worst.

"Interesting……"

A deep voice suddenly broke the silence of the dungeon.

"A ratman protects a little boy like a human, and the human wants to kill that little boy like a ratman."

"Who are you?"

"I'm just a bard locked up in a dungeon."

Broken Tooth didn't want to communicate with him, but the bard next door showed great interest: "Do you mind telling me about your magnificent life?"

"I don't."

Broken Tooth felt defeated.

As the elders who were rescued by Annan from Betar's dungeon together with the old orcs, they followed Annan during the Star Moon Bay period. The old orcs played Freeman in "Betal's Redemption" on the beach all day long, and the centaur became the Ministry of Agriculture. "Guardian". I patrolled the wheat fields and forests all day, doing nothing but myself.

Annan once wanted it to return to the Stun clan as an undercover agent, but because Broken Tooth once played a prisoner in "Betal's Redemption" - the ratman may not have seen the magic image, but as long as it is discovered, its latent mission will be Even success will come to naught.

Even when he signed up to join the Fourth Legion to fight on the front lines, he was "exactly like the rat men" and easily injured by accident, so he had to do the same work as the goblins.

Just when it wanted to take the opportunity to do something, it met a survivor boy. It had to change its plan and bring the boy out of the rat tide. As a result, it was executed as a spy by "one of its own" and the boy was also implicated.

It would be better to let the rat-men eat Lit, at least the boy would not be killed by his own kind...

"I'm curious about your past, would you mind telling me about it?"

Broken Tooth looked into the darkness with crimson eyes and rolled his eyes: "Will you tell what happened today as a story?"

"I'm afraid not, I should be executed together with you." As if afraid of Broken Tooth's refusal, the bard said: "Just think of it as satisfying a bard's yearning for stories, okay?"

Broken Tooth slowly told the story, saying that it was born and grew up in the North, and was discovered by humans. It was originally going to be executed, but because of the alien order, it was taken as a head by officials who were looking for political achievements and taken into the Bethal dungeon.

Annan appeared, rescued it, took a magical video, and took it to Xingyue Bay and later Liberty City to teach it common language.

But as the former "inmate" found his own career, Broken Tooth did not, so he signed up for the Fourth Army... and then more recently.

"It was not the rat-men who killed me in the end, but the humans. How ironic."

"As a rat man, your experience is already extremely rich."

Broken Tooth is noncommittal.

"Do you want to get out? I can help you." The voice from the next cell suddenly said.

Duan Ya sat up from the haystack: "...who are you?"

"What a smart ratman...just like humans, it doesn't matter who I am, right?"

"How can you help me?"

"How about I take you out?"

"With the consent of the Orr Empire?"

"No, they'll just see an empty cell when they come to execute you."

"Then I refuse..."

Broken Tooth thought about the consequences: the best case scenario is that the front line doesn't care and runs away.

But given the inexplicable hostility of the Orr Empire to execute him, his escape may very well become an excuse for them to attack Free City.

"Annan...is he so important?"

"Lord Annan pulled me out of the mire of darkness. He told me that rat people can live a normal life like other races..." Broken Tooth raised his head. It is obviously in a cold and damp dungeon, but it seems to be bathed in the warm sunshine.

"But you will die."

"Death is like tomorrow to the rat people." Broken Tooth said, "If you really want to help me, send Li Te out. He is innocent."

"I'm just saying casually, if I could go out, would I still be next door to you?"

Broken Tooth fell into silence.

The frontline commander looked very anxious... Before long, several guards appeared and dragged Broken Tooth outside the camp.

Broken Tooth was ready to face his own death, but when he saw Little walking over with his arm held by a guard, he could no longer maintain his calmness and roared and barked like a real rat man: "Are you crazy? ? ! He's just a kid who doesn't know anything! Does he look like a deserter? "

Broken Tooth kept talking loudly, and one of the guards pulled out a long sword and stabbed Broken Tooth into his chest, closing his mouth forever.

The guard stepped on Broken Tooth's chest, pulled out his sword, and walked towards Li Teuk.

The boy stood there blankly, unable to understand what was happening.

A shadow fell over the young boy.

…

"It also said that it could have escaped, but it didn't want to be framed as a deserter by us as an excuse to attack Liberty City."

"Does it really say that?"

In the lounge, Paige put his left foot on the maid's lap, enjoying the service of the maid while listening to the news brought back by his cronies.

"Um."

Paige felt a little regretful: "I should let you secretly leave the key outside to see if it is as noble as you say... By the way, where is the little boy?"

"With it..."

"Very well, don't give hatred time to sprout."

Knock knock knock——

The messenger appeared at the door.

"Report!"

"Tell me, which force has fallen again?" Paige switched to his right leg.

"None of them! News from the Watchtower, Liberty City has retaken Hell Mountain!"
