Chapter 273 126. They are everywhere
Strong war horses galloping on the dirt road, the silhouette of a cloak covering the wind and sand sitting 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 face covered with stubble.
The galloping war 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 that the outsiders had appeared closed the gate and stood on the low wall and asked him: "Stranger, who are you?"
"I brought the King of the North with me. Annan Reeves's warning came."
Fast held up the "Xingyue Bay News": "The despicable ratmen from the north deceived the royal capital, destroyed the Violet Kingdom, and crossed the border with overwhelming force. March towards the kingdom!”
The militiamen holding dung forks and hunting bows on the low wall looked at each other, as if they heard some joke, and sneered in slang with a strong accent: “Go back, you got kicked by a goblin. You stupid ass, we don’t know any 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, and they shouted sternly: "Infidels, get out, or we will contact the Inquisition!"
Fast raised his head, because in the south, In the sky, large numbers 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.
“Do you believe it now?”
Fast stared deeply into the panicked town, pulled the reins and turned around, escaping to the north without any hesitation -
He went all the way north, passing through the territory and small towns along the road, but people were worried about the kingdom. The trust is deep-rooted, or in other words, this is the heart of the kingdom, how could the Rat Man come here without making a sound? 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 nobles didn’t run away. Why were they running?
Even the guards 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 the 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 up, and a ray of light fell on the fluorescent green beam. Take him away before Fast gets on him.
......
Crash——
Fast rolled out of the teleportation array and bumped the desk, Annan caught the fallen notes and looked at Fast Get up: "You look fine."
"Because the sneak attack failed." Fast grinned, "If it were a mage or another warrior, he would be dead by now."
"Did it succeed?" Annan asked.
“Rats are like spilled fart pods.”
“What do you mean?”
“They’re everywhere.”
Fass Te 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 was like this before, 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 may even have had an accident...
"Olmedo told the scavengers that they will not sit idly by. I will set off now to Breeze City . ”
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 off in the afternoon and arrived in Breeze City 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 are 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 officer in the square to sit on Orr Meadow's carriage heads to Scavenger Headquarters.
Seeing the centurion again, she still looked less stable. After Annan told her about Fast's experience, she shrugged: "This is the terror 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 into silence.
"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 way he would not be overwhelmed.
"Many of our soldiers still don't know how to deal with rat men."
"It's simple, we will help you train." The centurion promised.
On the way out, Annan saw a face that was nothing special. 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."
Annan politely rejected this overly enthusiastic scavenger admirer, and then revealed the whereabouts of the knights from the royal capital who were previously driven away by Olmedo: "Those who want to arrest you actually came to the City of Plenty Let them send troops to attack you, we will not agree!"
"Thank you"
Annan has no time to pay attention to it. Compared with the rat plague, the wanted order is like being hung by a rat. Take a bite.
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."
