Flocks of birds rise from the forest and fly north as if they were in refuge.

Fleeing from the calamity, the migratory procession spreads across the hills like ant colonies scattered across the dwarf hills.

"Infected people will enter the incubation period, lose their minds over time, attack those around them and spread the plague, and become a hate being like a mad ghoul."

Sailing on the sea, the new Primal was far from the source of the plague, and Francois was glad that they did not dock or let them aboard the ship out of caution, who knows if contact would spread the plague on board.

Annan's gaze retracted from the distant coastline: "Do you think it has anything to do with the rat people?" ”

"Plagues don't come out of nowhere." Francois said.

Annan thought for a moment and said, "Can you go any further?" ”

"The plague can't touch us."

"Then keep sailing."

The portal closed, and a sigh rang out from the deck where only the sound of the waves was restored: "I want to go home, the fish here are too savvy......"

"It's too late for Annan to open another portal and go back."

"After completing the tasks assigned by our lords, we should ask them on the shore." Fast pouted toward the shore.

"Don't you need a head to fish? Where are we going to run if we are infected with the plague? ”

"So somebody has to go ashore alone." Fast rolled up his dirty sleeves.

"Wait a little longer...... We only saw the migrating people, not the soldiers. ”

The new Initial Ship left a dissipating spray on the surface of the sea, and the further forward it went, the heavier the crew's emotions became.

Flowers and plants are withering, forests are withering, and mist covers the land, staining noon with an apocalyptic yellow.

Strangely, they saw countless fleeing humans and aliens, but there was no sign of the nezumi - the clan never showed up.

Many villages have been abandoned, but others are building walls to accommodate refugees against the rat people. The new ship docked offshore, asking the locals for some news.

On the gloomy afternoon of the fifth day of sailing, the crew on the lookout screamed and saw the nezumi.

Francois deftly climbed up to the lookout and saw a group of nezumi chasing a group of mercenaries, warriors resisting the battle line, rangers and mages dealing with nezumi, meeting and retreating, the standard way of dealing with nezumen, but they were in the wilderness, and there was more than a group of nezumi around, and they were soon overwhelmed by the tide of nezumen.

It didn't take long for them to spot the sailboat on the surface, but they had to rush to the tidal flats and let the new ship drift away.

As the evening approached, the crew saw a scene similar to that of "The Fall of the Mage's Tower": a tide of rats like ocean waves, constantly washing a castle towering over a cliff.

From time to time, the glow of magic in the shape of lightning spilled from the sky and the city walls, like a shovel to lift the dirt, tossing over pieces of nezumi and filling them with the surrounding nezumi.

An insignificant sailing ship on the surface of the sea broke into battle.

These are just ordinary rat tides, they are only draining the power of the castle. As night approached, they saw a large headless rat emerging from the surface in the distance, propelled by a wriggling rat tide. It stood on the ground, a dark yellow mist pouring out of its fleshy neck.

Fast threw away his rod and muttered incredulously, "Illager ...... They're really coming! ”

……

Annan squinted slightly, looking at the white dragon swooping in the blue sky and smashing into the sea.

He was thinking that the fourth apocalypse would be predicted a month later on August 16th...... What will happen then? An attack by the McKenn Ratmen? But there's no reason why they're so fast. Confirm that the McKenn rat people are heading north? A few days ago, the new initial number confirmed this earlier.

At the end of the event, Annan sent the white dragons back to the crypt. It took more than a month for the white dragons to learn to stay away from humans, and it shouldn't be long before they could try to keep them free.

White dragon soaring over the bay...... It's a beautiful sight.

Annan returned to town from the beach and went to Michael first, who was complained by other mages because of the explosions that could be heard in the alchemy room all day...... So Annan built him an alchemy room in the factory area. Michael wanted to choose the Clock Tower, but was rejected - it was left by Annan to the Elven Mentor.

Then, as usual, Annan returned to the Lord's Mansion and began to sign his name on government affairs, listening to Ingrid's report: "Gemar wants to buy a boat from us. ”

"As long as the price is right."

Gema is doing well these days...... She didn't look for trouble anymore, and steadily developed her glacier harbor, still buying things from Xingyue Bay. There are three ships moored in the port, and it is not impossible to sell one to Gema.

In the evening, Annan came to Aunt Susan's house for dinner. He sat down obediently and accepted Aunt Susan's large, rough hands gently tucked the cloth, and Aunt Susan grabbed another cloth and threw it in Martin's face, and began the family dinner.

"Little Annan, is your birthday coming?"

Annan didn't pay attention to this, thought about it and said, "Aunt Susan, when did you pick me up?" ”

Then he went back three days from the day Aunt Susan picked him up, to June 19th...... That's when he came into the world.

"It's tomorrow."

"Then we'll have to get a birthday present." Aunt Susan said expectantly.

After a hearty dinner at Aunt Susan's house, Annan returned to the deserted lord's mansion and contacted the new initial number at the appointed time.

Francois and Fast appear on the opposite side of the portal.

"Good news, bad news." Fast got straight to the point with a solemn expression: "We found the Plague Rat ...... in the rat tide"

"Calamity?"

"The vanguard of the plague, the holy weapon of the McCain clan...... The scavenger headquarters said this, you don't know? ”

"I'm the same as Olmedo. Passionate about joining many organizations but little about them. Annan made excuses for himself.

"Olmedo added so many organizations, but he remembered every organization and knowledge."

“…… We should talk about the nezumi. ”

"The appearance of the McCain Clan's Hallows Calamity shows that this clan is indeed invading the North."

"They rule the South?" Annan was puzzled.

"Nope."

"Then why the sudden invasion of the North?"

"Maybe it's coming for you?" "I have an idea, do you have a map handy?" ”

Annan brought the charts to his desk along with the map.

"Spread them out, or point anywhere, or where you look at something you don't like, announce you're there, and see if the McCain rat people turn around."

Only a small country known about Khamis VI, but they had no enmity.

Giving up listening to Fast's bad idea, Annan suddenly remembered something: "You just said the good news, right?" ”

"That's right." Fast nodded, "I caught a fish the size of a Leviathan!" ”
