Chapter 337 Chapter 190. The truth getting closer
If Xingyue Bay was in the south, the temperature in November would still cause a violent plague to break out among hundreds of thousands of corpses, but in the north, those The hard corpses were so frozen that even the Ratmen couldn't chew them.
As if not wanting to take advantage of Annan, the retreating rat tide still took away all the "rations". Annan couldn't help feeling that not only did they not invade Xingyue Bay, they also cleaned up the battlefield for him. There were also good rats in the McKean clan.
The second wave of rat tide surged to the east, but Xingyue Bay did not resume its previous opening because some rat people arrived one after another. They don't know what happened before, and they still regard Xingyue Bay as a delicacy that lies across the road and needs to be pried open to enjoy the hard shell. So the occasional gunfire from the city wall became a relief.
Annan and Ilymayas went to the south again, and the ratmen belonging to the second wave of rat tide were converging on Breeze City. After returning, Brom's knights hoped to take the initiative. In response, they tactfully, coquettishly, and tentatively hoped to have meritorious deeds painted on their armor.
Annan agreed, and the knights who witnessed the high morale poured out of Breeze City.
Now, he still has one important thing to do.
......
"Let us welcome the hero of Xingyue Bay, Broken Tooth!"
A rat man stood on a high platform, accepting thousands of musketeers and The cheers of the residents... Outside of Star-Moon Bay, this scene could only happen when the Ratman was about to be hanged.
As a Stun elite rat, the height of its broken teeth is more than 1.6 meters. Its shiny cilia and strong body are what distinguish it from the slave rats. It can barely compete with Fast, who does not use combat skills.
But the most valuable thing is that Broken Tooth does not have the treachery, insidiousness and cunning that a rat man should have. Instead, he really holds a grudge.
The people of Xingyue Bay don’t have that much hatred for the rat people... In other words, Annan’s will is their will. Annan was right when he said that there are good ratmen among the ratmen. And these days, news of Broken Tooth's sacrifice has long been spread in Xingyue Bay. The story of the bards is this: an enemy soldier was influenced by them and returned to the field after being disarmed. However, when the enemy invaded again, this soldier stood up and took the initiative to resolve the crisis.
Without this real Stuen rat, Annan could not fool the McKean rat. Broken Tooth's honor is well deserved.
Annan personally put a gold badge on it.
"You are not a soldier, so I won't award you any meritorious service." Annan chuckled. "As compensation... is there anything you want? For example, friends and tribesmen you want to bring over?"
"I don't remember them," Broken Tooth said. "I think...I want a name."
Annan meditated for a while: "Solons...how about it?"
The meaning in common language is "Jumping into righteous evil" The allusion of "The One" is that during the elves' years, a chaotic and evil abyss fiend suddenly believed in the upright guardian god, shocking the demons in the abyss and the gods in heaven for ten thousand years.
“I like this name.”
Broken Tooth didn't react at all - Annan finally saw someone even more ignorant than himself!
The square began to cheer Broken Tooth’s new name, Sorens. Annan smiled: "Now you are riding on the head of the old orc."
The old orc's reputation in Planang's Gift County is higher than that of many legends because of "Betal's Redemption", and he is also famous in Xingyue Bay. Very popular, but now Sorens is even more popular.
Then it was the turn of the other participants in this battle: Losi, Fermi, a dozen musketeers and the thirteen-headed white dragon who also made significant contributions - Ilimoyas was too lazy to participate in such a battle reunion.
They received the silver badge of this battle, second only to gold. All other musketeers who participated in the war wore bronze badges - this was done to distinguish merit - and to save money.
The reward for the thirteen white dragons is ten barrels of fresh fish. After all, it is difficult for the white dragon to understand what honor is.
No one becomes the "Captain of Ten Thousands". The black blood that killed ten thousand ratmen was just a luxury for them now. However, nearly half of the knights made up for the rewards from the battle - they graffitied a rat head pattern on their plate armor to represent killing an elite rat. Fermi even painted a bloody rat head because he killed more than ten elite rats. . After the medal ceremony was over, the Musketeers couldn't wait to go out to clean up the ratmen on Xingyue Bay. Annan asked them to rest for a day and go to Breeze City to help tomorrow.
Returning to the Lord's Mansion, Annan found Ingrid following her, and she was confused.
As the Secretary of the Interior who is good at government affairs, Ingrid, who was born into a noble family, finds it difficult to understand why meritorious service can make soldiers ignore threats and instead look forward to new battles.
Annan said that this is the charm of growth: It is stupid and painful for a person to push a stone up a mountain, but if you push a stone up, there will be something meaningless to count for you, then your motivation to push the stone will increase. If we add a ranking list on top of this to record the person who pushed the most rocks, and put all the stone pushers together to compete -
"I don't understand."
Inge Li Te has been exposed to "ladylike" etiquette since childhood, which insulated her from competition.
"If Olmedo announced that all those who are good at government affairs would be put together and ranked according to their performance..."
"I understand."
This woman was almost as cold as Lindy, but her eyes flashed with unnerving enthusiasm.
"Call the rat people here... No, take them to the Department of Home Affairs." Annan said, and after Ingrid asked what, "I have something to ask them..."
Annan paused and seemed to be sorting out his words: "We have to know what the Rat Man is going to do..."
It's just that Annan had no hope of getting news from the Rat Man, and that was indeed the case. , the slave rats knew nothing, they were just driven north by the clan.
Maria asked her to leave, and the druids, elves, dwarves, and dragons were all fleeing the north.
Although the rat plague is terrifying, it should not scare all races unless they know the secrets that humans do not know.
Annan seems to be standing in front of a forked road between survival and destruction.
Unable to find the answer, Annan asked Olmedo when he was in trouble, and sent the musketeers over by the way.
The rat tide in Breeze City was a few days earlier than in Xingyue Bay. Now that Xingyue Bay has lifted the crisis, Breeze City is still fighting. Compared with Xingyue Bay's "slave rats mixed with elite rats", Breeze City's "slave rats mixed with elite rats".
But Olmedo still felt strange: "The Rat Man doesn't seem to have used his full strength yet."
For the city that stands at the northernmost point of the kingdom, Breeze City is full of martial virtue, and the gathering rat tide did not bring much pressure. Even Agarwal did not come back.
"The rat tide army hasn't arrived yet?" Annan asked.
Olmedo shook his head: "The rat tide has surrounded Breeze City for more than a week, maybe they have squeezed to the foot of the snow mountain.
Annan suddenly froze at this moment, reflecting The dark eyes looking at the snow-capped mountains outside the window were trembling with horror that suddenly emerged.
Could it be...
