Sturdy warhorses gallop on dirt roads, silhouettes of cloaks that shield them from the wind and sand sit on horseback. After a few hours of travel, a small town nestled in vast farmland emerged.

The dusty knight raised his head, revealing a face covered in stubble.

The galloping horses slowed down, and the sound of horses' hooves tapping sounded dullly among the golden wheat fields.

The peasants toiled in the wheat fields with their scarecrows, the appearance of a quiet village—but when they cast their gaze at the knights, the indifference seemed to be less welcoming to outsiders.

When the knight came to the low wall of the town, he learned that the militia of outsiders had appeared closed the gate, stood on the low wall and asked him, "Who are you, stranger?" ”

"I came with a warning from Annan Reeves, King of the North."

Fast held up the "Star Moon Bay News": "The despicable nezumi who went north blinded the royal capital, destroyed the Violet Kingdom, crossed the border, and marched towards the kingdom like a bamboo!" ”

The militiamen holding dung forks and hunting bows on the low wall looked at each other as if they had heard some joke, and let out a mockery with a strong accent slang: "Go back to you stupid donkey who was kicked in the head by the goblin, we don't know any Annan!" ”

"Then you should know the nezumi." Fast shouted, "The army of the rat men is up to 200 miles away. ”

This time, the militia was silenced by the sincere warning, and they shouted fiercely: "Heretics, get out, or we will contact the Inquisition!" ”

Fast looked up, for in the southern sky, large crows flew up, hovering over the hills in confusion.

Bell - bell - bell - bell -

A hurried bell rang out from the town, grabbing the hearts of all the bewildered militiamen.

"Now you believe it?"

Fast stared deeply at the panicked town, pulled the reins and turned around, and fled north without hesitation—

He made his way north, passing through realms and small towns, but the trust in the kingdom was deep-rooted, or rather, this was the hinterland of the kingdom, how could the nezumi come here without a sound? They don't believe the nonsense of a person of unknown origin. Even if someone is apprehensive, they are relaxed by the attitude of others around them.

Look, even the noble lords didn't run, what did they run?

Even the guards wanted to arrest the alarmist knight, and they really wanted to. The guards surrounded him, and as Fast was about to rush out, he spotted a silhouette in a black robe approaching him.

"It's a nezumien!"

Fast's exclamation sent the guards back, and a terrifying beam of fluorescent green light emerged from the black robes—Fast fell back with agility, the crystal pendant around his neck flying, a flash of brilliance that carried him away before the glowing green beam landed on Fast.

……

Whoop -

Fast who rolled out of the teleportation array knocked the desk out of place, Annan caught the notes that fell and watched Fast get up: "You look okay." ”

"Because the sneak attack didn't work." Fast grinned, "If you were a mage or another warrior, you'd be dead by now." ”

"Did it work?" Annan asked.

"Rats are like knocked-out pods."

"What do you mean?"

"They're all over the place."

Fast glanced at Abby, who heard the movement coming in, and continued, "Don't try again, maybe all the human towns will be mixed in by the nezumi." ”

Breeze City used to be like this, and Annan should have little left after messing around.

Olmedo had sent a group of knights to the royal capital some time ago. Now it seems that they have no chance of reaching the royal capital, and may even have had an accident......

"Olmedo told the scavengers that they would not sit idly by. I'm going to go right now to Breeze. ”

When he arrived in Breeze City, Annan had to go north to the Snow Mountain Fortress. He didn't bring anything, and the mage's robe could withstand the cold on the snowy mountains, because the road was long, and Annan also chose the strongest white dragon as his mount. It is just right for the underage white dragon to take on the underage Annan.

In fact, Elimoas may be able to reach the Snow Mountain Fortress in one day, but a blue dragon will be regarded as a provocation by the white dragon group. and the deep threat: the Frost Giants will be reminded of their previous hatred when they see the blue dragon.

Throwing Fast back to the New Primordial, Annan handed over the affairs of Starmoon Bay to Ingrid, climbed the back of the white dragon, and headed to Breeze City as the people on the streets looked up.

He departed in the early afternoon and arrived in Breezy in the evening. The Breezy defenders and the Mage Tower are almost accustomed to the King of the North always hanging out with the dragons of the evil faction.

The guards dispersed the pedestrians in the square in front of the city lord's mansion, allowing the white dragon to fall.

Annan jumped off the dragon's back and came to Olmedo's side. She looked at the white dragon with novelty: "I can ......"

"You're too heavy."

Olmedo fell into a deep silence.

"Toby won't hurt, but don't get too close, and feed it some frozen beef."

Annan instructed the guards in the square to get into Olmedo's carriage and go to the scavenger headquarters.

When she saw the centurion again, she still didn't look very steady, and after Annan told her about Fast's experience, she shrugged her shoulders: "This is the horror of the nezumi. ”

"I always thought the scavenger was the nemesis of the nezumire." Annan said.

"In the case of not many rat people, yes. Half of the Grail Knights are related to scavengers. But you shouldn't expect an epic to be able to help you solve a nezumi clan with four masters and a group of elite, ordinary professionals. ”

"What about the scavengers in other towns?"

The centurion stared at Annan: "Do you think they are still alive?" ”

Annan fell silent.

"So you can't help with this?" Olmedo asked.

"We can only kill more rat people before we die." The centurion's answer was brutally simple.

Annan took a deep breath because he wouldn't be overwhelmed.

"A lot of our soldiers don't know how to deal with the nezumi yet."

"It's easy, we'll help you train." The centurion promised to come down.

On the way out, Annan saw a face that was nothing special. If there was anything special, his passionate eyes made Annan a little uneasy.

"Jack...... I can't believe it...... It's amazing to meet you...... Do you want my money? Or do you wipe your boots? ”

"Uh...... No. ”

Annan politely rejected the overly enthusiastic scavenger admirer, and then he revealed the whereabouts of the knights of the royal capital who had been driven away by Olmedo earlier: "Those who want to arrest you have actually run to the city of Fertility and let them send troops to attack you, we will not agree!" ”

"Thank you."

Annan has no time to pay attention to it for the time being, compared to the rat plague, the wanted warrant is like being bitten by a rat before hanging.

Back in the square, Annan said goodbye to Olmedo, climbed on the back of the dragon and burrowed into the night in the direction of the snowy mountains.

Olmedo, who had watched Annan go away, returned to the room. It didn't take long for the maid to appear at the door: "Miss, dinner is ready." ”

"Send it back." "I won't eat at night anymore," Olmedo said. ”
