A strange world

Chapter 863 Chapter 94. Plague Pandemic

"Yes, these grains have been contaminated by rat men and were sent to every corner of the kingdom along with the caravans."

At this moment, Annan felt Shadow Song's sadness.

No wonder a Brotherhood of Shadows killer wants to be a good person... because she's saving her home.

"You know this kind of thing is not a joke." Annan said to Shadow Song seriously.

"I can guarantee that the food here is contaminated."

Annan turned around and walked down the hill: "I need to confirm."

The cart drivers had already loaded a cart of grain. Annan walked over, took the bat-wing-shaped dagger handed to him by Shadow Song, and cut open the sack.

The bursting wheat seeds flowed out of the holes, and Annan asked Ilimayas to apply detection spells and purification spells... but found nothing.

"There's nothing wrong with these wheat." Annan looked at Shadow Song.

"If it were so easy to discover, the Rat Man's conspiracy would have been exposed long ago."

Shadow Song's serious look really didn't look like he was teasing himself. Annan said patiently: "To identify something requires evidence...so how do you know? I want to know the details."

Shadow Song recounts her experience:

About five days ago, Shadowsong met a priest on his way back from a Brotherhood mission and was being chased by a group of ratmen.

"He told me that the food was contaminated. He asked me to take the news back to Gucheng and lead the rat men away myself."

Shadowsong is not very good at telling stories, and the real situation is much more dangerous than what she describes. Anyway, when the priest drew the attention of the rat people, Shadowsong returned to Vale City.

But she was afraid to break the news to City Hall. The nobles here are arrogant and old-fashioned. They can't even accept being saved by civilians... No one will believe what a Shadow Brotherhood assassin says.

"that is it?"

Is a priest's warning worth Shadowsong's efforts to contact him? The assassins of the Brotherhood of Shadow are not little elves who believe in everything.

"I am certain that what he said is true." Shadow Song said firmly, "He is a druid."

It makes sense that no one would find out. Priests are the most sensitive to curses and pollution, but the gods have lost contact, and the priests have lost the abilities given by the gods and have become ordinary people.

But druids have corresponding talents. Their sensitivity to nature is like a warlock's affection for the opposite sex, which is almost innate.

And druids never lie.

The problem is that Annan doesn't know the priest, or the priests he knows are all dead.

"Boss, it's them!"

Just when he was thinking about asking for help from the empire, a shout suddenly came from a distance.

The smoker led the gang members and pointed this way.

"I shouldn't have hesitated."

Fearing that his actions would be exposed, Shadow Song let the smoker beg for mercy, and now it seems that the gangster cannot be trusted.

The group of gangsters led by Smoker had several soldiers, but they didn't need Lemon to take action. Shadowsong was like a moving shadow, getting into the crowd and harvesting their lives.

Shadowsong mastered a special combat skill. She jumped among the crowd and used the bodies of the enemies around her to dodge attacks. Every time the dagger traced its trajectory, a gangster fell to the ground clutching his bloody throat.

Tens of seconds later, the only people standing around were the smokers.

He collapsed to the ground, and a pool of yellow material gathered under his body: "No... no, sir, please spare me -"

"It's too late, damn it."

Shadow Song thought he was dirty, so he picked up a knife, threw it, and stabbed Smoker in the forehead.

"solved."

Annan said nothing, he felt something was wrong.

How dare a group of gangsters attack them? Can't you see the lemon standing next to you?

It's just that Shadow Song's movements were too fast and the gangster was too useless, so Annan didn't have time to survive.

"We have three options now." Annan came back to his senses.

The first is to make things as big as possible, but will cause the Rat Man to stop himself like crazy.

The second option is to go to the councilors in Gucheng. But it's impossible to say how deeply the Skaven have infested the land. And the Holy Grail Knights who are fighting off the rat tide in the north are definitely on the side of humans.

The third option is to leave Lesio Valley immediately, return to Liberty City, and then spread the news through "Voice of Liberty" and kick the ball to the big shots.

"It's too late for the third option." Shadow Song suddenly raised his head and looked at the direction where the gangsters were coming.

"What's the meaning?"

A group of guards came running from a distance with the sound of armor clashing.

Annan told Yingge not to be impulsive and walked forward: "I am——"

"These people are murderers who want to destroy the barn, shoot them without mercy!" The guard captain drew his sword and did not listen to Annan's explanation.

"Elimayas, prepare to break out... No, don't hurt them, take us to the city hall."

Things are even harder to explain when you get your hands dirty again. Annan has no direct evidence that the food is indeed contaminated, but everything he is encountering now is going in this direction... He smells a conspiracy.

When the guards were frightened, Ilimoyas came into contact with the transformation technique and transformed into a slender blue dragon that stretched out its beautiful dragon body.

Annan took Shadow Song and Lemon onto the back of Ilimayas, ignored the group of guards, and flew to the city hall.

The low-flying Ilimayas passed over the ground with a huge shadow. People on the street were a little panicked, but they did not run away - after all, they had never heard that rat people, demons and dragons were mixed together.

One blue dragon is not enough to make Gucheng feel like it is facing a formidable enemy.

When Ilimoyas landed in front of the steps of the city hall, the knights leading the team gathered around.

"I want to see your congressman!" Annan looked down at their captain.

"Who are you?"

"Annan Reeves."

The knight captain showed a trace of confusion, he actually didn't recognize himself.

"Your surname is Reeves...the Twelve Kings of the North?" the knight captain said suddenly.

"Yes, I am the head of the Reeves family."

The guard in the knight captain's eyes disappeared. In the eyes of the people in the north, the twelve kings of the north are much more useful than "champion warlocks" and "magic image masters".

Although the King of the North now exists in name only, their existence for hundreds of years still makes most northerners respect them in awe.

"I discovered the Rat Man's plot to invade Valley City. Let me see your congressman." Annan continued.

The knight captain looked more serious and asked his subordinates to drive away the crowd and protect Annan. He returned to the city hall to inform the council members.

It seems to be good, at least the Valley City City Hall has not been invaded by the rat men.

Soon after, an old man on crutches hurried out.

"I am Watts, the Council Chairman of Valley City." The old Council Chairman was impatient and asked urgently: "I know you, the champion warlock of Middle-earth, what news did you bring?"

Annan glanced at the two councilors who followed him out, and said: "My companion met a druid who was being chased by rat men. The druid said that the food in Valley City was contaminated by rat men, and he was following him. Go out and spread the plague throughout the country."

"Oh no……"
