"Magic Mirror, you should know that I restored you. So...... Who is the most handsome man in the world? ”

"Liliana Lore."

Annan's threats didn't work, well. Maybe this Liliana is a legendary warlock or something......

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" Annan changed the question, but did not receive a response.

"The repaired magic mirror can only be used once a day." Said the howler.

"How do you know?"

It's not prejudice, but orcs do insulate themselves from the word magic.

"I'm thinking."

Wasting a precious opportunity, Annan had to temporarily ask the apprentice of the blacksmith to send the "artifact" to the lord's mansion, and he himself came to the forest mansion in Ulmit.

There are no secrets in Xingyue Bay, and the count of the Violet Kingdom already knows about the fall of his hometown. The bear-like earl squeezed out a few tears, and said that he would go back and rebuild his home, building house by house.

It shouldn't be acting—because Count Ulmit then summoned his men, announced the news in a tough manner, and kicked a few crying fellows.

And then the red-eyed fellows can't wait to get back to revenge and rebuild the castle - the captain of the guard says they're as tough as the Northerners.

"My brother, you have to help me." Ulmit turned to Annan for help.

"What can I do for you?"

"Food, tools, and that thing called cement."

Annan agreed to sell to Ulmit at an ally price and returned to the Lord's Palace. Before opening the portal on the new Primordial Ship, Annan admonished Rela: "Don't quarrel. ”

"Hmph, boring." Lela ran out of the Lord's Palace, and Annan saw her running towards the bay.

You don't have to think about it to know that Leila wants to catch a big fish to show off.

Opening the portal, this time the heavy horses were on the deck, and the distant city of Louis came into view: the rapid sound of bells echoed in the air, dragging the inhabitants of the city with their families fleeing, and there was not a single ship in the harbor.

Annan didn't see a pirate ship on the sea: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"The nezumi are coming, they're fleeing here."

In two weeks at most, the plague will spread, followed by the nezumi army, and further north will be the kingdom of Rikanre.

The lord of Nicholas Hayes was a clever man who didn't play the trick of "living with the city-state", and he had fled to an overseas island with his wealth and men the other day, preparing to return after the nezumi had passed.

Looking at the city-states that were in constant chaos from afar, Annan thought that those city-states that were countless times stronger than this one did not make waves before the rat tide...... Hopefully, the kingdom of Rikanr will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Those abandoned residents have nowhere to go, and we should be able to easily bring them back to Xingyue Bay when we land."

"Xingyue Bay can't fit so many people......"

Louis City is a city-state with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, and even if more than half of them escape, there will be at least 10,000 left—more than the population of Starmoon Bay.

"Alright, dock."

Annan changed his tune, and he could help as much as he could. The lord of the city, Nicholas Hayes, could not care about civilians who could never die like weeds, and Annan could not do that.

"I'll need you to get the people back to the Obiris Strait."

"Because of the earl?" Francois asked.

"Well, Ulmit is ready to rebuild their home, and the nezumi there should have left."

"Prepare to land!" Francois shouted at the crew and exhaled, "I'm going to get some rest when I get back." ”

"You can do it now, too."

Theoretically, the new Initial could allow all crew members to return to Xingyue Bay at night to rest, and then return to work on board during the day.

"Forget it, let's finish all the tasks and rest......"

As the new Primal sailed into the harbor, crowds of people who wanted to flee gathered on the harbor, bringing chaos and cries. It doesn't matter if they're not calm, the water elements on board will help them calm down.

"Quiet!"

Francois appeared on the deck, overlooking the crowd at the docks: "I shouldn't have helped you, but abandoned you like your lord......"

Some of those filled with panic sobbed, and still others found hope – just like all turns have "buts".

"But I have a good lord. He could not accept the fate of innocent civilians...... Annan Reeves, this name should be known to everyone. Or a more popular name: Jack. ”

There was a whisper on the dock.

"There are farmers, sailors, professionals, gangsters, spies of the lords...... Francois swept his eyes, "but it doesn't matter. To all those who are willing to join Starmoon Bay, I promise you that you will get a new beginning: free housing, stable law and order, and fair laws, and you only have to do one thing: sacrifice your loyalty to your lord. ”

"Second mate, put down the bridge."

That morning, the residents of Starmoon Bay found that the portal had opened in the square in front of the Lord's Mansion again, and this time there were more new residents than before. These people also strangely maintained a kind of surprise and fanaticism, shouting the names of Annan and Jack and offering loyal words.

"What's going on with them?" Annan, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor, couldn't help but be curious.

"It seems that Francois said something to them."

At this point, Francois ran to the increasingly empty city of Louis. Everywhere there was mess and firelight, as if the last.

There were hardly any people in sight on the streets, and Francois walked through the empty streets, feeling the ......

He saw a figure also wandering the streets, a young man dressed in aristocratic attire, holding a long sword with a crystal hilt.

"Aren't you leaving?" Francois accosted.

"I'm waiting for the nezumi!" Said the young man.

"What?"

The young man brandished his sword and shouted firmly, "My weapon will cut the neck of the nezumik!" ”

"Have you ever seen a nezumi?" Francois asked curiously.

"Of course! They are ugly and weak, and my sword has easily penetrated their throats, and you who run away in fear when you hear the nezumi are cowards......"

"Then don't you know that nezumi are always in groups?"

"What's the difference between a nezumi and a bunch of nezumi?" The young man said disdainfully.

Francois told him that it was an entire nezumi clan that had attacked: "If a nezumi were the size of an ant, they could easily cover the city-state." ”

"It can't be!" The young man, immersed in the imagination of becoming a hero, pointed his sword at Francois: "Coward, get out of my stage!" ”

Francois was quite tolerant, and did not even reprimand the young man for his insulting words, but lamented that he had not had a chance to see the despair of the ignorant when the nezumi attacked.
