Verse 176

If you want to ask what merit Wang Cheng has, it is to crush the torrent of catharsis as a rock. At least the towns in the north are facing "just" a broken splash.

But it is still a catastrophe for the ants that nest by the river.

Early the next morning, Annan and his musket corps arrived at the square.

The bright sunshine washed away the gloom of last night.

"Olmedo ......"

"Nope."

"I haven't said what I want yet!"

"Olmedo, the rat man is coming, I need you to borrow me some" Olmedo imitated Annan's Northland accent and looked at him playfully, "Starmoon Bay is on the remote west coast, and the washed away rat tide may not come to you." ”

"How not? I'm the nezumi nemesis who sabotaged nezumi plots twice, and they hate me so much......"

"You're destroying the Stoon Rat's plot, and it has nothing to do with the McCaine Rat."

"Really?"

"Nope."

"I only need a team of knights, and the knight captain's knight team of a hundred people, it's better to lend me Blom!"

Olmedo's blue eyes were smiling: "You really dare to ask for it, Blom is the family's bodyguard,"

While the musketeers were still waiting for him, Annan changed positions and whispered in a plea that only Olmedo could see, "Sister Olmedo......"

A strange feeling grew in his heart, and Olmedo paused slightly, remembering that Annan was still a boy who had just reached the age of 16 - but for commoners, he was already old enough to marry and have children.

"Okay. But they can't stay with you, and they'll have to come back after the crisis. ”

If they hadn't died in the rat tide. Olmedo thought.

Annan was ready to turn to two more cities in Prang Enc County and the Cana family in the Snow Mountain Fortress.

"Will they promise you?"

"Try it and it doesn't cost anything."

Breeze City borrowed a little, Betal City borrowed a little, and Abundance City borrowed a little, and the team of Starmoon Bay was full.

Annan opens the portal and sends the Muskets back to Starmoon Bay. At this time, a shout came from the crowd outside the square: "Jack! Can we also get merit! ”

"Of course, as long as you join Xingyue Bay, your honor and exploits will forever remain on the monument of mankind." Annan replied to Francois in disguise in the crowd.

Lyly, he winked at the stunned Ormedo with a look of "I obviously agreed to help you, how dare you do this", and Annan rode on the back of the blue dragon, kicking up the dust and flying into the distance.

……

The people of Breeze City and Starmoon Bay didn't know yet, only the nobles and some smart people sensed some kind of calm before the storm from the arrangements of the City Lord's Mansion.

As for the people of Xingyue Bay, there is no change with the rapid development of this place, but it has changed from the crazy building of houses in the past to the crazy building of city walls now.

The musket corps, which Annan named "the first blood", expanded from 100 to 1,000 men. But before that, Annan followed the advice of the knight captain and let the original hundred-man team board the new initial number and rush to the front line to fight.

Just as the keel of a ship is the foundation of everything, the soul is the foundation of an army. As long as the soul remains, this army will not die. And the soul can only be conceived through the experience of blood and fire.

Annan and his friends, or Annan and his thinkers, chose Eternal Night Harbor as the incubator of their souls. They were familiar with the Eternal Night Harbor rather than the unknown wilderness: the nezumi had taken over it about ten days earlier, and then the elite rat tide continued north, leaving a few chaotic ordinary nezumi and elite nezumi behind. The streets and alleys allow the musketeers not to face the rat tide in all directions.

The Knight Captain also rejected the idea of Annam sending large elements to follow, and without experiencing danger and sacrifice, the soldiers would throw their guns and flee after the nezumi climbed the walls.

Annan asked how much pension should be given if a soldier died, and Ingrid's words reminded Annan that most of the people of Xingyue Bay, which is made up of refugees and poor people from all over the country, have no family.

"I can't let my soldiers die in a senseless war."

In the end, Annan rejected the knight captain's proposal and only partially accepted: a large elemental force was to be held in the harbor, and the musketeers could retreat to the harbor if they encountered an enemy they could not resist.

The new Initial Troop with a hundred musketeers set out, and the five hundred guards who had cleared the Frost Giants returned, and they were saddened to find that they had not only lost the honor of their first battle, but also missed their first exploits.

The workers were also excited, and upon returning from Breeze City, Lord Annam informed all the lords that the nezumi were very likely to arrive in this winter. Then they lived under the walls, and the chiseling was like a tidal wave day and night. This was their modest contribution to Starmoon Bay - even though the walls of Starmoon Bay were already seven meters taller than Breeze City.

The elite mages of the Watermill and the blacksmiths of the blacksmith shop lay by the hammer all day long, and the sooner they cast the mold of the magic cannon, the rat tide in the future will die one more -

Farmers with nothing to do board their fishing boats and catch as much catch as they can before the bay freezes. Even Leila threw away her principles and replaced her fishing rod with a fishing net.

The eldest sister of Blackstone Castle was still hesitating. She didn't want to migrate to a neighboring country to the east, nor did she want to take refuge in Xingyue Bay. Because the foot is not only the origin of the family, but also the contract land of the fire dragon.

Ingrid was trying to break one gold into two gold coins. For example, let workers work longer hours but halve their salaries, levy taxes on the people of Xingyue Bay at a rate of 600% of the commercial tax, and double the price of food to spit out the money earned by the people of Xingyue Bay - except for magic muskets and cannons, plate armor, these weapons against the rat people do not cut corners, she can save money.

Francois is working as a probationary scavenger and selling Philosopher's Stones and Collector's Editions of Philosopher's Stones. In order to bring in sales, he picked up the past - put on women's clothing to sell.

Everyone at Starmoon Bay is giving for their future. Even Annan is no exception!

"My princess, the rat people are heading north, and the wilderness is no longer safe, why don't you let your people take refuge in Starmoon Bay......

The blue dragon didn't respond, but fortunately Annan knew how to deal with it: "You can't let me give you money and let me protect your people, right?" ”

"100 gold." Elimoas made an offer.

Annan almost agreed to it, still with a keen sense of business: "You have to bring them to ...... first"

Elimayas still refused, and Annan said, "How about then taking a step back and signing the devil's contract?" ”

As a result, Elimoas rejected the devil's contract, saying dragon language such as the devil is not trustworthy and our friendship is so fragile.

Eventually, Annan learned the truth: its people had migrated out of the north.

Annan wanted to scold it loudly, but the words became: "Forget it...... I have one more thing, can you lend me some money? ”

The awe-inspiring dragon power suddenly descended on Annan's small body, and the blue dragon spread its huge dragon wings, and its sharp vertical eyes looked down at Annan.

"I know you're not willing to lend me money, but what if I give you interest?"
