Obviously, the twins next to the nezumi were either nobles from the Skaven kingdom or missionaries from some church. Wild Sand Literature Network

After Liu Xing and the others glanced at each other, they came to the table opposite the rat man and sat down, wanting to attract the rat man's attention and get in touch with the rat man.

Because Liu Xing and the others were still wearing high-end equipment built in the blacksmith village, people who knew the goods could see at a glance that Liu Xing and the others had extraordinary backgrounds, and the rat man was obviously a "person" who knew the goods.

"Friends, you should be the brave men sent by the Empire to crusade against Bahamut, right?" The nezumi walked over and said with a smile.

The human nations on this continent are divided into empires, kingdoms, and principalities because of their size and strength, but there is only one empire.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Yes, we are going to crusade against the brave men of Bahamut, and you should be a magician from the Scurry clan, right?" ”

"Yes, I am the one hundred and thirty-eighth prince scum of the Scurry clan, and I am glad to meet you brave lords." The scum said respectfully.

At this time, the two twins also walked over and said in unison, "We are the missionary of the Church of Light in the Kingdom of Skaven. ”

Well, now Liu Xing already admires Zhang Jingxu's naming ability very much, and so far among those NPCs with names and surnames, the name Rodriguez is a little more normal.

As for the scum being the one hundred and thirty-eighth prince of the Scurry clan, Liu Xing felt that this was also very normal, after all, the reproductive ability of rats was definitely beyond doubt.

But then again, this medium difficulty mod is really much easier than those hard mods, and this just entered the mission area and sent the NPC that can solve the problem.

Soon, Liu Xing and the others became friends with the three scumbags, and got a lot of reports about the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry clan.

The kingdom of Skaven is currently in turmoil, because there is a duke named Merlot who has established himself as king in his own territory, but because Duke Merlot's territory is adjacent to Ruszia, the kingdom of Skaven thinks that Duke Merlot is likely to have reached a cooperation with the plague clan, so the kingdom of Skaven did not send troops to attack Duke Merlot's territory at the first time, and as a result, Duke Merlot rebelled against some small nobles around him, resulting in the kingdom of Skaven has now lost one-fifth of its territorial control.

On top of that, Duke Merlot recently announced that he had begun to believe in Bahamut and officially formed an alliance with Ruszia's Plague Clan!

The Skaven Kingdom knew that it had to deal with this farce as soon as possible, but because the alliance between Duke Merlot and the Plague Clan was quite strong, the Skaven Kingdom began to issue a mobilization order to recruit more troops to participate in the battle, and the two Corvin brothers were sent to this town to announce the mobilization order.

In addition to being missionaries of the Church of Light, the two Cowen brothers are also the sons of Covins, a great nobleman of the Skaven Kingdom, but because they have no inheritance, they were arranged by Covance to serve as missionaries in the Church of Light.

As for why Cowens arranged the two Cowen brothers who had no inheritance as missionaries, to put it bluntly, it was to avoid that the two Cowen brothers would stand up and fight for the inheritance rights in the future, you must know that there is a tradition on this continent, that is, the children of nobles who become missionaries will be removed from the family, because missionaries on this continent are not allowed to marry and have children.

It can be seen that the two Cowen brothers are already outcasts in the eyes of their father Cowens.

As for the scum who is the one hundred and thirty-eighth heir to the throne of the Scurry clan, in fact, there is not much difference between it and the two Cowen brothers, because there are one hundred and thirty-seven brothers and sisters in front of it who covet the throne of the Scurry clan, so it is impossible for the scum to become the next rat king of the Scurry clan.

And because the Scurry clan has been attached to the Skaven Kingdom, the territory of the Scurry clan is not too big, so the heirs of the Scurry clan after the tenth rank have no chance to obtain the territory, so compared with the ordinary Scurry clan rat people, it is just the name of an heir.

However, because the scum has a decent talent for magic, the scum has become one of the most promising mages in the new generation of the Scurry clan, so it was able to obtain the gem-encrusted staff.

And the reason why the scum is with the two brothers is because the scum was sent to serve as a vassal under Covance five years ago, so the scum and the two brothers Cowen, who had not yet been turned into missionaries at that time, became good friends, after all, they are in some ways an abandoned son who has been abandoned by the family.

Therefore, after the mobilization order was issued by the Kingdom of Skaven, the scum who was a vassal of Covance volunteered to recruit troops on Covance's territory, and this town was within the territory of Covance, so the scum and the two Covin brothers acted together.

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask, "Scumbag, how is your recruitment done now?" ”

The scum took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "The situation is not very smooth, because in the war that year, the combined forces of the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry clan did not capture Ruth Zia, so many people think that our attack will still end in failure, so not many people are willing to go to the nearby cities to enlist, take the town where we are now, for example, we estimated the number of recruits to be thirty, and the number of soldiers who have been confirmed to be recruited is only seven." ”

Liu Xing frowned, and said, "Why are only so many people willing to participate in the war?" Was that the war a failure? ”

"That's right, in that war that year, our coalition army only captured the walls of Ruszia, and then in the following street battle, the coalition army was defeated by the plague clan, and finally had to choose to give up and continue the attack." Kewen said helplessly.

The scum touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "The main reason for the defeat in the street battle is actually the pot of our Scurry clan, because the main members of the plague clan are from the family in our Scurry clan that was originally responsible for fighting, so they are very good at fighting the enemy in narrow terrain, and as a result, our Scurry clan forgot to tell the Skaven Kingdom about the two things, so after our coalition army easily captured the walls of Ruszia, they confidently entered the city to exterminate the plague clan, As a result, he was defeated by the plague clan in the street battle. . . ”

"By the way, the scum is called the Plague Clan, is it because they are good at spreading the plague?" Yin Eun on the side suddenly went straight to the road.

After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that when we rat people choose a name for a new clan, we will indeed choose a name according to what we are good at, but I also mentioned a point just now, the main members of the Plague Clan are basically the warriors of our Skuri Clan, so we all thought that the Plague Clan would call themselves the Miserable Claw Clan, the Sharp Tooth Clan or something, but I didn't expect them to call themselves the Plague Clan." ”

"I know that Lord Yin, as human beings, will subconsciously think that we nezumi are very good at spreading plague, but this is actually a wrong perception, although we nezumi may have the same ancestors as ordinary rats, but we parted ways with them many years ago, so our nezumi clan will not spread the plague for a long time, and even we will die because of the plague... Of course, I have to admit that there are still people in our nezumi who are studying the plague. ”

"However, in that battle that year, we also deliberately guarded against the possibility that the Plague Clan would use the Plague to fight, and as a result, the Plague Clan did not use the Plague Clan to fight, so we thought that the Plague Clan was just bluffing, and there have been many plagues in our Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan over the years, but after our detailed investigation, we found that these plagues actually have nothing to do with the Plague Clan."

Hearing this, Liu Xing and the others all frowned, because something was wrong with the development of this drama.

However, Liu Xing and the others quickly reacted, this should be the difficulty of this mission.

If the Plague Clan had shown their attainments in the plague a long time ago, then the current Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan would make every effort to guard against possible plague attacks by the Plague Clan, so they might not need the participation of Liu Xing and others, and now the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan will start to carry out epidemic prevention work, and then Bright City will naturally join them.

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

That's probably what the Plague Clan thinks.

"Since it is difficult for the Skaven Kingdom to recruit troops now, why didn't the Skaven Kingdom choose to seek help from other forces? It stands to reason that neighboring countries are very willing to help, right? Zhang Wenbing asked.

Liberal Arts shrugged his shoulders, pointed in the direction of the capital of the Skaven Kingdom and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you as foreigners may not know that the current king of our Skaven Kingdom has only succeeded to the throne for less than a year, so he has been trying to solve the big problem of the Plague Clan since he succeeded to the throne, after all, although Ruszia has been completely abandoned, but Ruszia is the old capital of our Skaven Kingdom after all, so there have always been people who are dissatisfied with the Plague Clan's occupation of Ruszia, It is hoped that successive kings will be able to retake the Plague Clan. ”

"Therefore, after the king succeeded to the throne, he repeatedly mentioned in public that he was ready to recapture Ruszia, and Melo, who was only a marquis at the time, flattered the king and expressed his willingness to serve the king, so Merlot was made a duke by the king half a year ago, and the territory was also arranged next to Ruszia, and the king also allocated a large number of materials to Melo, but no one expected that Merlot would be so reversed some time ago."

"After this happened, the king's prestige was of course greatly damaged, so this time the king decided to take the royal conquest to save his own prestige, so the king refused all help from other powers... Of course, I've heard that the City of Light has sent a group of priests into the kingdom of Skaven under other names, and that the king has recruited a mercenary army from the Empire, though that mercenary army was in the Empire a week ago. ”

Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the current king of the Skaven Kingdom would be a stubborn person.

At this moment, an old man suddenly walked up to the scum and whispered to the scum.

The scum frowned, and said goodbye: "I'm sorry for the brave lords, we have to deal with the recruitment problem now; However, if you are willing, please come with us tomorrow to the Golden Peak City, where Marquis Covens is located, and I believe that Marquis Covance will be happy to meet you brave lords. ”

Ding Kun nodded and said, "Of course you can, we happen to be going to Jinfeng City too." ”

After the scum and the others left the inn, Liu Xing spoke: "It seems that we have arrived at the right time, but I am worried about the king of the Skaven Kingdom, if he is a real straw bale, then we may be in trouble." ”

Yin En looked to the side, and after finding that there was no one around, he said with confidence: "As the saying goes, a general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, if that king is really a straw bag, then our trouble is not ordinary, because judging from the report provided by the scumbag, this time the king plans to have the whole family in waves, so if the coalition is defeated, that Duke Merlot will definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and then the entire Skaven Kingdom will be in a mess." ”

Ding Kun nodded, and said affirmatively: "If the coalition forces are defeated, then the Skaven Kingdom is likely to be occupied by the rebels of Duke Merlot, and then the Skaven Kingdom will become the base camp of the Bahamut believers, and then they may directly send troops to capture the City of Light!" ”

If it is just the plague, Liu Xing and the others still have a chance to find a way to solve it, but if the military disaster is added, then Liu Xing and the others will really not work.

"It seems that we have to find a way to make the coalition win, or at least let the coalition forces retreat completely, otherwise our mission will definitely not be carried out." Liu Xing frowned and said, "It seems that we must go to the king as soon as possible, and then get some command from him." ”

Ding Kun smiled and said: "Leave this problem to me, I definitely have a way to persuade the king to reuse us, after all, Zhang Jingxu's title of warrior is very useful." ”

Say Cao cāo) Cao cāo) just arrived.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu came to the living room with the red stone self-painting, and said with a solemn face: "I just received a message from the emperor, and he wants us to meet the king of the Skaven Kingdom as soon as possible. ”
