Chapter 327 180. Gema’s Devotion
In October, frost and snowfall occur frequently in various places in the north, but in Xingyue Bay it is only in the early morning and at night that people need to wear a coat.
Without snow, there would be no snowman, and there would be no scarecrow in the migration team.
Following the two boys to the mansion where the family members were housed, Annan saw a short-haired boy wearing an Aunt Susan-style floral skirt staying on the street.
"A boy...?"
At least this time it's not a snowman... Annan thought happily, and then the "Princess" pointed at him and screamed: "You are not Levi's!"
The mature Annan has passed the age of being embarrassed when being exposed. Said calmly: "Because of my appearance? That's because..."
"You don't even know I'm a girl!" the tomboy shouted.
Annan re-observed the tomboy who was much thinner than his peers. His exposed arms and calves didn't have much flesh, and his brown hair also looked yellow due to malnutrition.
"Princess, because the king has lost his memory, we are afraid that you will worry and dare not say..."
The children's game of King is actually pretty decent.
At this time, Aunt Susan came over with a vegetable basket and asked them what they were doing.
"Aunt Susan, they are my... childhood playmates."
"Oh my God, I must come to my house as a guest."
Annan Reluctantly, he went home with his friends and Aunt Susan. "Good morning, Uncle Huolin." Annan greeted Uncle Huolin who was chopping firewood in the yard.
Aunt Susan got into the kitchen, and "Minister Mosley" who was frightened by the thick body asked: "Who is this aunt?"
"After I was attacked by the rat man, it was Aunt Susan's family. Save me."
After saying this, Aunt Susan came out of the kitchen with a pot of apple pie and placed it on the table.
"Look, you are dirty. Are you hungry on the road? Come and eat something." The expression on Aunt Susan's face turned into kindness. "General Marcus", whose stomach had been growling for a long time, couldn't wait to reach out and was slapped away by Minister Mosley.
"King..." He asked Annan for instructions.
"Eat."
As a result, Minister Mosley raised his few eyebrows: "How can you say that!"
"Please have a meal." Annan had to start again. Said it again.
Minister Mosley and General Marcus responded. Now those who use their fists are as crude as those who use their heads. "Princess"... She was served the largest piece by Aunt Susan herself. When she was serving it to Annan, he waved his hand: "I will go to inspect the factory area later."
The tomboy is called Robert, and Minister Mo Sli and General Marcus were Levi's playmates - Annan, who accepted Levi's identity, of course also accepted his bond.
Aunt Susan liked Robert and it was said that she saw a reflection of herself in her. Annan looked at their floral skirts, which had similar designs but were dozens of sizes different in size, and said nothing.
They talked while eating. After Aunt Susan knew that Robert was Annan's princess, she lovingly asked Annan when the marriage would be finalized.
Annan straightened his back and said solemnly: "The shadow of the rat-men has shrouded the earth, and we have not driven away the rat-men yet."
"Little Annan is awesome!"
Then Aunt Susan's kiss squeezed Annan's cheeks helplessly out of shape.
"Aunt Susan, where is Martin?"
"I thought he had nothing to do all day, so I asked him to go to the pub to help."
Annan wanted to let them know Martin. They couldn't play with Annan, but they were just right with Martin.
"It's so big here! We can hide and seek here! You won't be able to catch me!" said General Marcus with apple crumbs on his lips. Annan's black eyes became sharp. This is my home court, why do you think you can beat me here at hide and seek?
At noon, Annan, who was practicing the special operation "How to dig out the rat-men if they sneaked into Xingyue Bay", was called over by Ingrid.
"You and your friends went out to play?"
"It was a practice!" Annan abruptly changed the subject: "What do you want from me?"
"There is a gun The caravan from the south brought news that a group of rat men appeared outside Betar City. "
It is just early October, and the rat man forward has arrived 1,300 miles away from Xingyue Bay... If they maintain their strength. At this speed, we should arrive near Xingyue Bay and Breeze City in early November.
In any case, Bethal City can help them try this group of rats that have traveled to the north. It would be best if they were torn apart like they did when they hit the capital.
As for where to get the news about Bethal City... Gemma Diatra of Glacier Port must be worried about his family.
Annan sent a team of knights to Glacier Port to investigate, and the next step was to wait for news.
Annan was still a little anxious at first, but fortunately, Idilia settled down and the rapid changes in Xingyue Bay made him relax. Five days later, the knight team returned with news.
"...It is said that the Ratmen besieged Bethal City for a few days, and then bypassed it with heavy losses."
Annan told Olmedo the news from two days ago. Even Bethal City was not bitten, which shows that the rat tide was indeed smashed into pieces by the royal capital.
As for why the royal capital allowed the Rat Men to invade the country, kill two Holy Grail Knights and then beat them half to death... Annan couldn't understand.
Anyway, there is finally good news these days.
"December." Annan suddenly connected the prediction of the apocalypse with the rat tide.
“What?”
"The rat men will arrive in early December."
"How do you know?"
"Think of it as some kind of prophecy." Annan could not reveal the origin of the artifact.
Olmedo and Annan each sent light cavalry and Bailong to the south to investigate. Bethal City is not too close, but it is not too far either. They have to make final preparations.
Annan's White Dragoons were the first to arrive near Betar City. They saw the Ratmen sweeping across the entire plain like a tide, and the city of Bethal became a rock rising out of the river. The dazzling light and flames of magic lingered around the city walls. Thousands of ratmen died, and they rushed in endlessly.
But the small towns and villages outside Betar City are not so lucky... The White Dragon Knight cannot see them. They should not have the strength of Betar City.
They did not go deep into the rat tide, and returned to Xingyue Bay after observing the outside for a while.
After receiving the news, Annan had no time to tell Olmedo that an unexpected guest came to visit.
In the reception room of the city lord's mansion, Gema asked Annan for help.
"Are you worried that Glacier Harbor can't sustain the rat tide?" Annan sat opposite him.
"No... I hope you can help Bethal City." Gema's tone was strange, and she was trying to contain her pride.
"Diatra is more powerful than the Reeves family, and Betar City is more powerful than Xingyue Bay. I can't help..." Annan stood up, ready to end the brief conversation.
"I know about your relationship with Olmedo..."
Annan was confused, and Gema stood up, that delicate face flashing with complexity and fear: "I am willing to give The price..."
As he spoke, Gema took off his clothes and exposed himself naked in front of Annan.
Annan, who was about to cover his eyes, suddenly stopped.
