Chapter 1087 9. Traitor? Old friend? warrior!
Annan and Olmedo are located a few miles away in the countryside.
Losi led his men to clean up here, standing on a low hill and listening to the report of adjutant Sirdan.
"We found a frozen corpse of a ratman, with its chest cut open, and there were footprints and this missing arrow around it..."
Adjutant Sirdan took out a This is an ordinary birch cocktail feather arrow that has been sharpened even though it was sharpened, but still cannot escape the limitations of raw materials.
"Are there humans around?"
When Losi was surprised, soldiers from the front arrived and reported the discovery of an "Orion".
“Go over and have a look.”
Is this an area full of ratmen, demons, and a gathering place for humans?
Far away, Losi saw a man standing with several soldiers. He looked like a big rat wearing rat-man fur and holding a bow and arrow.
The moment his eyes touched, Losi suddenly froze and looked at the bearded Orion: "Are you...Krian?"
Krian's eyes revealed nostalgia: "Losi..."
Losie couldn't believe that she would meet Kerrian, who had chosen to leave in the sheltered town, or on the outskirts of Breeze City.
Adjutant Sirdan next to him also looked surprised.
"Why are you back...?"
"Because this is home."
Knowing that they were old acquaintances of the legion commander, the soldiers walked away and continued to clean up the surrounding area.
"I mean...what are you doing here?"
"Our home has been occupied by ratmen. I want to come back, kill them one by one, and rebuild Home."
Krian's eyes stayed on the soldiers, and Losi continued: "You are lucky to have met me. I might have arrested you if I met Femi."
"You called me unkind, Losey."
Crunch——
The sound of stepping on the snow sounded, and a crimson plate armor that was different from the gold plate armor of the Guards Corps appeared. .
"Fermi..."
Krian whispered the identity of the person who came out, and his eyes fell on his missing arm: "It seems that a lot of things happened."
< br>
Femi nodded gently to him and looked at Losi: "Krian and the others left with the consent of Mr. Annan and Mr. Olmedo. Even if they meet again, they are just old friends."
The three of them They both climbed out of the refugee camp and had a good relationship until they parted ways in the asylum town.
When I think about it, Losey still sighs: "Do you know what you missed?"
In Xingyue Bay, Christian was more valued by Annan than Losey and Fermi. If he hadn't Go, the commander of the Guards Corps or another direct legion should be his.
"I can see it." Kerrian said.
These soldiers wore sophisticated plate armor that could only be found in private soldiers of noble lords. They also had rat heads and blood graffiti on their chests. Each of them was an elite who had killed dozens of ratmen.
"What happened after you left?"
They listened to what happened after Kerrian left in the cold wind on the outskirts of Breeze City.
Krian rejected the recruitment from the surrounding forces and headed north with those who were willing to follow him.
In addition to the long distance, there are bandits and ratmen blocking the way. They were dead and wounded, and when they finally returned to the north, only two of them were dead. The other one also died of a wound infection not long after.
Kerian himself was left, and he was lucky enough to walk the rest of the way and stay on the outskirts of Liberty City to sneak attack on the lone ratman.
Learning that Kerian was not defecting, Losi was the most excited: "We will help you plead with Mr. Annan to let you come back!"
Krian was stunned: "I still Can you go back? "
"You are not a deserter! As long as you tell Mr. Annan again what you said to me, Mr. Annan will definitely let you come back!"
K Li An smiled bitterly: "I let Lord Annan down, he will not forgive me..."
..."I will not forgive him!"
Annan shouted, pointing at Michael who was hiding behind Major Dumbledore: "Took my money and used me My time was wasted, and now you’re telling me that it hasn’t been improved?”
It’s in vain that the gift he prepared for Michael a few days ago was “a bag of gold coins”. Good stuff that I think about day and night!
"Alchemy is like this, we have to find success among countless failures..." Dumbledore said for Michael.
"You mean ninety-nine percent sweat and one percent luck?"
"Yes, that's it."
Annan calmed down and felt that he had given Michael Your burden is indeed a bit heavy...
Although Michael has been following me since Breeze City, after all, he is only a mage who has just reached the fourth level.
Annan was anxious because Bronzebeard had already built the first "Revolving Musket", but there was a problem with the bullet, or gunpowder: it did not support high-intensity firing.
Now that we have a revolver that can fire continuously, will the Skaven still be a hidden danger?
The problem is that the improved gunpowder used now will produce a lot of smoke and waste after being activated. These things will clog the barrel of the gun, so soldiers wipe their guns after every battle not only to make the gun spirit happy, but also to make the gunpowder happy. Also wipe off these attachments to avoid exploding the chamber.
Given the firing efficiency of the revolver, there is a risk of the chamber exploding within a few minutes of use.
It won’t work if you switch to orichalcum. Although it will not explode, the attachments will still accumulate in the barrel and block the bullet.
"Let's take it slow first..."
There is no point in rushing to improve technology. All we can do is wait for the alchemy apprentices trained by the school to recruit more alchemists.
However, the trade between Free City and the Kingdom to purchase muskets has been put on the agenda. With muskets, they can persist for a long time... There is no need to worry about the start of a new war for the time being.
Probably not necessary...
As for the charcoal brought back, Dumbledore said it was indeed related to the mage tower. Annan took it to Lilith and handed it over to her after receiving confirmation.
“I need time to digest.”
"How long will it take?"
"It won't be long...he will wake up before returning." Lilith said.
Annan is looking forward to whether Lilith will undergo new changes. As soon as she returned to the city lord's mansion, the maid Abby came to visit with her guests.
"Tasia, why are you here?" Annan said happily.
“Hey, can’t you see me?” Brino Janna next to her said in a bad tone.
"Tasia is too tall and blocks my view." Annan explained casually, guessing the purpose of their visit: "You also want to play on the ground?"
"It's not about playing, it's business." Bree No. Janna corrected, "We are going to the Snow Mountain Fortress to have a look."
"The Snow Mountain Fortress... is full of demons now and is very dangerous."
"But it's worth it."< br>
Annan's eyes lit up: "Is there any treasure?"
Huh——
The room suddenly darkened, and a huge and beautiful vertical pupil appeared outside the window: "I heard you talking about treasure."
"Indeed, there is." Briano Jia Na thought for a while and said.
“Really?”
“Many soldiers did not react when the western part of the fortress fell. The demons were only interested in flesh and blood, and their weapons and relics were probably thrown aside.”
Annan's black eyes and the dragon eyes outside the window lit up at the same time: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Brino Janna breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it would take a lot of words to convince Annan... Wait a moment.
"What did you say, come with us?"
