Chapter 561 218. Mouse Hunting Time
The stubborn Mrs. Winter is unwilling to leave. For her, she has lost her homeland and territory one after another. Nothing can stop a person who has lost everything from taking revenge.
But the head guard wanted to save her master.
The best option is to let Lady Winter leave. Annan plans to take the expeditionary force to the Winter Territory after the matter in the old royal capital is resolved.
The silent old royal capital regained its "prosperity" this night, and the arrival of the expeditionary force injected vitality into this lost city-state.
To cure the plague, the ranger kills a ratman with one arrow.
The mage is like an overheated musket, but the musket can continue to be used after cooling down. The mage can only meditate or watch other people kill. You can also imitate Michael and use his staff to knock the Rat Man on the skull.
The thieves are busy jumping out of the shadows and looting treasures, but the only thing they can find in the old capital where the Skaven have been wreaking havoc for months is the ears of the Skaven.
The warriors were like savages, killing ratmen regardless of sight, and followed by bards playing harps.
The elite and above ratmen in the old capital were all cleaned up by Dean Breshim and Mr. Swaro. The rats outside the city were unable to notice that thousands of humans suddenly appeared in the city. So the expeditionary force’s carnival will continue.
From early morning to early morning and then to noon, they encountered rats that fled in panic but did not attack. When they first arrived, they might have killed them regardless, but there were so many ratmen in the old capital that they were too lazy to care about them.
Annan thought that if there was an enemy of his in the expeditionary force, he could bring it to Maria's lips, making her status as "Savior Rat" more legitimate.
There are only a few ratmen like Maria and Broken Tooth, and Maria is a ratman specially trained to infiltrate human society. Most of the Ratmen pounced on the expeditionary force upon seeing them, and the Stunrats would also use traps and bunkers to make sneak attacks.
Spending a whole day, the expeditionary force used the dungeon as a stronghold to clean up the eastern part of the outer city of the old royal capital.
The next day, exciting news returned to Free City, and spread from Free City to Middle-earth.
Evelin ran over holding the Philosopher's Stone, and as a field reporter recorded the expeditionary force's process of regaining the old capital, and then published it in the new issue of "The Voice of Freedom."
This news should cheer up many people. Annan thought.
Because of the new trade routes opened by the expeditionary force, magic newspapers are still spreading in the Kingdom of Dimon. The results were similar to what Annan had imagined. Enthusiasm erupted in many places, and newspaper sales, which had been almost stagnant, surged again.
Unexpectedly, there were some voices of criticism from the Tatooine Empire: they ridiculed Annan for being dazzled by honor, and believed that it was meaningless for the expeditionary force to attack an isolated city. As they retreated, the Skaven would return again. Occupy this place.
Officials also accused Annan of harboring evil intentions - the Kingdom of Rekaner is a branch of Montreal, and the capital is the royal capital of the Montreal family. If he dares to attack the small palace garden now, he will dare to attack the real palace garden in the future!
All I can say is... the empire is not a monolith, and there will always be some idiots among the nobles.
For example, Franning took out 100,000 gold coins for the magic newspaper and wanted to maintain friendship with Annan, but the envoys were still madly mocking Liberty City
After the expeditionary force regained the entire eastern part of the old royal capital, Annan brought Princess Sails over from the suburbs.
After being imprisoned by the rat men for several months, Princess Seles was so weak that she changed from a noble princess to a destitute lady. Being thin makes her look younger.
Princess Seers needs rest, but the Old King's City is full of gunshots and screams. To prevent Princess Sayers from falling in love with the situation, Annan temporarily placed her in the underground palace.
Late that night, Maria, disguised as a human, came to Annan: the expeditionary force had no enemies of Annan, but the rat survivors had Maria's enemies.
Maria and Annan had an idea together: give those who don’t obey them to each other.
Maria sent those who wanted to fight back among the gathered ratmen, and let Annan eat them easily. Then she led the remaining ratmen out of the old capital and retreated to the north.
After Maria left, the expeditionary force was no longer timid and began to speed up the cleanup of the old royal capital. After all the elders and priests were dealt with, the ratmen in the city no longer had any decent resistance. No reinforcements came from outside the city.
The reason is that the main force of the Ratmen is located in the south and is confronting the demons.
The demons want to bring chaos to the main plane, and they don't care who suffers the chaos - it just so happens that the ratmen are also main plane creatures.
This allowed the expeditionary force to quickly clear out the outer city and the inner city, leaving only the "Little Palace Garden" on the "Little Montreal Mountain" still resisting.
After months of wreaking havoc by the Skaven, there are no survivors in the city. But there are actually three survivors in the dungeon. They fell into coma after being rescued.
Annan asked the mage to find a way to save them, and then visited Princess Sails.
Annan thought Princess Seles was tortured, but she was not.
"They took my blood... used my bloodline to study the Montreal Gold Family..."
"It seems like they are plotting an empire... Evelyn!"
< br>Soon, the guards took back Evelin who was running around outside.
She ran around with the expeditionary force all day long, shooting battle scenes, and seemed not to be afraid of those bloody scenes at all.
The girl who was taken care of by Fast was finally changed by Annan.
"I remember there were many voices criticizing me within the empire?" Annan asked.
Evelin was filled with indignation: "They went too far. They were hiding in a safe place and said this to the soldiers at the front."
"I have some new speculations. The rat men are secretly planning to attack the tower. The Thun Empire's attack..." Annan told her.
“Are they so bold?” Evelin was surprised.
The power of the Tatooine Empire is seen by every Middle-earth, otherwise they would not be called "barbarians". And that emperor was also the King of Bones, one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings. Looking for trouble with the empire... What is the difference between this and Martin wanting to separate from Aunt Susan?
According to common sense, there are so many countries to the east of the Northern Territory, and the McKean clan should join forces with the devil to encroach on the Northern Territory bit by bit.
"So the rat people have more reasons. Their attack will also face the alliance of human countries. But as long as the most powerful local empire is solved, the surrounding countries themselves will fall apart."
"Because Wilhelm." Princess Seles also gave a reason.
As long as the empire is solved, the natural chasm between Skaven and Wilhelm will disappear.
Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs...all the main races on the main plane came out of Wilhelm, but the ratmen were not.
They follow the will of the Rat God and want to desecrate the origin of this world: Wilhelm.
Annan taught Evelin: "Just say the Stuen clan... No, just say that the Skaven are planning the Tatun Empire. Maybe there are people inside who have been corrupted and bribed by the Skaven..."< br>
Those who attacked Annan are in trouble.
