Chapter 273 Chapter 126 They Are Everywhere
Chapter 273 Chapter 126. They are everywhere
The strong war horse galloped on the dirt road, and the silhouette of the man wearing a cloak to protect him from the wind and sand sat on the horse's back. After a few hours of driving, a small town located in vast farmland emerged.
The dusty knight raised his head, revealing a stubble-covered face.
The galloping horses slowed down, and the sound of horse hooves tapping sounded dullly among the golden wheat fields.
The farmers were working hard in the wheat fields with scarecrows standing there, looking like a peaceful village - but when they looked at the knights, their indifference seemed not to welcome outsiders.
The knight came to the low wall of the town. The militiamen who learned of the appearance of the outsiders closed the gate and stood on the low wall and asked him: "Stranger, who are you?"
"I come with a warning from Anan Reeves, King in the North."
Fast held up the "Xingyue Bay News": "The despicable ratmen who went north deceived the royal capital, destroyed the Violet Kingdom, crossed the border, and marched towards the kingdom like a broken bamboo!"
The militiamen holding dung forks and hunting bows on the low wall looked at each other as if they had heard some joke, and sneered in slang with a strong accent: "Go back, you stupid donkey who got his head kicked by a goblin, we don't know Annan!" "
"Then you should know the rat men." Fast shouted: "The rat men army is at most 200 miles away from you."
This time, the real warning silenced the militiamen, who shouted in a stern tone: "Infidels, get out, or we will contact the Inquisition!"
Fast raised his head, because in the southern sky, a large number of crows flew up, hovering chaotically over the hills.
Dang——dang——dang——
The rapid ringing of bells came from the town, grabbing the hearts of all the confused militiamen.
"You believe it now?"
Fast stared deeply at the panicked town, turned around with the reins in hand, and fled to the north without any hesitation——
He went all the way north, passing through territories and small towns along the road, but people's trust in the kingdom was deep-rooted, or in other words, this was the heart of the kingdom. How could the Rat Man come here without saying anything? They don't believe the nonsense told by an unknown person. Even if someone feels anxious, they are relaxed by the attitude of others around them.
Look, even the noble master didn't run away, why are they running?
The guards even wanted to arrest the alarmist knight, and they really wanted to. The guards surrounded him, and when Fast was about to rush out, he noticed a rickety silhouette in black robes approaching.
"It's Rat Man!"
Fast's exclamation made the guards turn around, and a fluorescent green terrifying beam of light came out of the black robe - Fast fell back quickly, the crystal pendant around his neck flew, and a ray of light fell on the fluorescent green beam. Take him away before Fast gets to him.
…
Wow——
Fast rolled out of the teleportation array, causing the desk to move. Annan caught the fallen notes and watched Fast get up: "You look fine."
"Because the sneak attack was unsuccessful." Fast grinned, "It would have been a mage or another warrior who would have been dead by now."
"Did it succeed?" Annan asked.
“A rat is like a spilled fart pod.”
"What's the meaning?"
"They're everywhere."
Fast glanced at Abby who came in after hearing the noise, and continued: "No need to try again, maybe all the human towns have been infiltrated by rat people."
Breeze City used to be like this, and there should be very little left after Annan messed it up.
Olmedo sent a group of knights to the royal capital some time ago. Now it seems that they have no chance to reach the royal capital, and there may even have been an accident...
"Olmedo told the scavengers and they won't sit idly by. I'm leaving now for Breeze."
After arriving in Breeze City, Annan had to go north to the Snow Mountain Fortress. He didn't bring anything with him, and the mage's robe could withstand the cold on the snow-capped mountains. Because of the long journey, Annan also chose the strongest white dragon as his mount. The underage Bailong takes on the underage Annan just right.
In fact, Ilimoyas might be able to reach the Snow Mountain Fortress in one day, but a blue dragon would be regarded as a provocation by the white dragon tribe. And a deeper threat: Frost giants will be reminded of their previous hatred when they see a blue dragon.
Throwing Fast back to the New Initial, Annan handed over the affairs of Star-Moon Bay to Ingrid, climbed on the back of the white dragon, and headed for Breeze City while the people on the street looked up to him.
He set out in the afternoon and arrived in Breeze in the evening. The Breeze City defenders and Mage Tower are almost used to the King of the North always hanging out with dragons from the evil camp.
The guards dispersed the pedestrians in the square in front of the city lord's palace, letting the white dragon that stirred up the dust wind fall down.
Annan jumped off the dragon's back and came to Olmedo's side. She looked at Bai Long with curiosity: "I can..."
"You're too heavy."
Olmedo fell into a deep silence.
"Toby won't hurt anyone, but don't get too close. Prepare some frozen beef to feed it."
Annan asked the guard officers in the square to get on Olmedo's carriage and go to the scavenger headquarters.
When she saw the centurion again, she still looked less stable. After Annan told her about Fast's experience, she shrugged: "This is the horror of the rat men."
"I always thought that the scavenger was the nemesis of the rat people." Annan said.
"When there are not many ratmen, yes. Half of the Holy Grail Knights are related to the scavengers. But you shouldn't expect an epic. Four masters and a group of elite and ordinary professionals can help you solve a ratman clan."
“Where are the scavengers from other towns?”
The centurion stared at Annan: "Do you think they are still alive?"
Annan fell silent.
"So you can't help with this?" Olmedo asked.
"We can only kill more ratmen before we die." The centurion's answer was simple and cruel.
Annan took a deep breath, because this would prevent him from being out of breath.
"Many of our soldiers don't know how to deal with Skaven yet."
"This is simple, we will help you train." The centurion promised.
On the way out, Annan saw an unremarkable face. If there was anything special about him, his passionate eyes made Annan a little uneasy.
"Jake...I can't believe it...it's so great to meet you...do you want my money? Or to clean your boots?"
"Uh... no need."
Annan politely rejected this overly enthusiastic scavenger admirer, and then revealed the whereabouts of the knights from the royal capital who had been driven away by Olmedo: "Those who wanted to arrest you actually went to the City of Plenty and asked them to send troops to attack you. We won’t agree to it!”
"Thank you."
Annan had no time to pay attention to it for the time being. Compared with the rat plague, the wanted order was like being bitten by a rat before hanging.
Back in the square, Annan said goodbye to Olmedo, climbed on the back of the dragon, and went into the night in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.
Olmedo, who watched Annan go away, returned to the room. Not long after, the maid appeared at the door: "Miss, dinner is ready."
"Send it back." Olmedo said, "I won't eat at night anymore."
