Chapter 816 47. War Cry
While Jerry was being played with by the gray rat, Annan was carrying a basket and going out with Martin to buy firewood.
After three years of carefree growth, Martin has become a big... boy who has inherited the common dimensions of Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin.
He wears a beard that represents a man. The hairstyle is Aunt Susan’s usual style: a silly mushroom head.
The relationship with Annan has not changed from Aunt Susan’s family’s simple outlook. Uncle Hollin is now the foreman of the workers, and Aunt Susan is the spiritual leader of a group of women, instead of transforming into a woman who relied on Annan to rise. Noble family.
The only problem is that Annan, who has not changed in three years, and Martin, who is a head taller, are almost like cousins...
Stepping into the firewood shop, the young clerk was stacking firewood in the corner with his back to them.
"I'll buy 10 pounds of oak." Martin said.
The young clerk did not see Annan and said without looking back: "The price of oak firewood has increased. It is now 10 copper coins and 3 pounds."
"How much did it cost yesterday?"
"8 copper coins and 3 pounds."
Martin crossed his arms: "I bought yesterday's."
After a while, Martin and Annan returned home after spending 30 copper coins to buy 10 pounds. .
Martin told Aunt Susan about the increase in wood prices in a loud voice.
"Really? Is that so, little Annan?" Aunt Susan didn't believe him.
"Well, the oak firewood did increase to 10 pounds, but for my sake, they only paid 30 copper coins." Annan would never deceive his family.
Aunt Susan looked down at the 66 copper coins that Martin handed to her, and held the broom.
Today we eat fried meat with broom.
There is something inappropriate about a parent spanking a grown child, but if that person is Martin it will be fine.
At noon, Annan and Aunt Susan’s family sat at the dining table, talking about what to ask Martin to do.
"Isn't he the deputy manager of the tavern?" Annan asked doubtfully.
Aunt Susan got angry when she mentioned it: "He brought a glass of blood to the elf's table! The guest made a fuss, and Mr. Fast kicked him out."
" He was so beautiful, and he asked for something to drink, I thought he was a vampire..." Martin muttered.
Annan only hopes that the elf is not the envoy of the elf mission, otherwise even Liberty City will be implicated by Martin...
"I think the position of student in the school is very suitable for him." Annan said seriously road.
Not everyone has the ability to make Mr. Schwaro speechless.
Aunt Susan hesitated and said: "But Martin graduated some time ago..."
"Aunt Susan, the school's one-month semester is just a crash course. Now the school is expanding, and the semester after the expansion It will be increased to three months or even six months accordingly.”
Aunt Susan was relieved this time, but it was Martin’s turn not to agree: “I have changed my job to become a husband.”
The other three people at the table were stunned at the same time.
"Where's your wife?"
Annan was very worried that Martin would say something like "the tavern succubus", but he didn't expect Martin to say something like the young clerk of the firewood shop.
“I think she likes me.”
……
“What sweet dreams are you thinking about?”
In addition to the rats running around in the dark dungeon, there is also the bard rat's sarcasm: "It just asks you not to reveal it."
"Fei... Lord Gray Fur Rat is not such a person."
"You should say, it's not such a rat."
Jerry became silent. After an unknown amount of time, the bard rat said, "How are you thinking of killing me?"
< br>The intention was discovered and Jerry did not deny it.
Jerry, who thought he would die in the dungeon, had confided a lot... Now he found out that was not the case at all, and he began to regret telling it about Philos. "It's so sad... you are like a marionette being played around by a gray-haired rat..."
"What is a marionette?"
"Rat A miserable life...Jerry, do you want to play a game with me?”
“What game?”
"Have you mentioned me to your poor Philos?"
"...Hmm."
"This game is...will I be taken away by them."
"Who are they?"
The Bard Rat did not answer Jerry, and the whisper continued: "If I am taken away by them, it just wants you to shut up."
"But it could also be cleaning up the rats who know too much," Jerry interrupted.
"So you want to play this game? I was taken away by them, proving that I am right. I am still in the dungeon, then you are right."
Jerry did not answer it .
Compared to a bard rat he has never met, why should Jerry doubt Philos?
The simple friendship between Jerry and the Bard Rat ended here...until a few hours later, a group of rat guards came to the dungeon——
They're here to catch the bard rats.
Jerry watched the reflection on the stained wall struggling constantly, hissing loudly: "Never trust gray rats! They are the offspring of deceit and treachery!"
It He was hit in the abdomen by a guard on the side, bowed up like a shrimp, his mouth was covered, and he was dragged out.
……
“Why don’t you let us fight!”
Gal, the leader of the Timberwolf tribe, went to Aunt Susan's house to express his dissatisfaction to Annan.
“Because someone complained to me, and I don’t think the war cry of ‘cut off the enemy’s head and make it into a bowl’ is not very good...”
Aunt Susan carrying Uncle Hollin The ears went out, leaving space for both of them.
Facing the aggrieved Gal, Annan tried to speak tactfully: "I'm not saying this is not good, it's just that it's not in line with the... atmosphere of Liberty City."
"What is the atmosphere? ”
"That's it...the empire is good at war, so their slogan is to turn the enemy's skin into boots. The elves are peace-loving, and their slogan is to destroy those who harm the forest..."
The previous Gal would never understand. Such a complicated thing, but after mastering the common language and studying in school for a month, Gal can already understand it.
"You used to be from the orc tribe, but now you are from the Free City. Why not try to change the tribe into the Free City..." Annan said seductively.
"Bring the enemy's bones back to Liberty City to make totems?" Gal tried to shout.
“It’s not such a blunt replacement, but using some...normal battle cries, such as changing ‘For the Horde’ to ‘For Liberty City’?”
"I know!"
Annan paid a little attention to the Fourth Army Corps that was fighting banditry in the north. It is said that now a group of orc heavy armored infantry shouted something like "for Free City" and "for Chief Annan" and rushed forward.
With the opening of trade routes between Liberty City and the Watch Territory, people from the Principality are coming to Liberty City in an endless stream. There are both businessmen and homeless people attracted by the beauty of Liberty City.
They have enough excuses - after all, even the Grand Duke stayed in Liberty City and refused to leave.
Battle situation in the north: In addition to the main force gathered by the McKean clan, there are also some scattered rat tides moving south from various places. One of the rat tides is approaching the border of the Monta Bullock Principality.
The Fourth Legion was heading there, but Annan was not worried because the heartbeat of the sleeping Ilimoyas was slowly recovering.
As long as Ilimoyas wakes up, all problems will be solved.
