Section 188.Annan's Eight Unscrupulous Means
The few remaining nezumi roamed the mile-long battlefield, crouching in front of their companions, nibbling on the meat that had not yet cooled, just like the crows that had gathered more and more.
Annan was disturbed by the startled crows, and he climbed up Elimoas's back again and headed for battle.
There are also some nezumi hiding in the woodland, and they are probably the culprits who disturb the crows. The blue dragon lingered a few times over the forest, and suddenly flew south.
"What did you find?"
"Some evil exists......"
The blue dragon carried Annan as he approached Glacier Harbor, and then he saw a second wave of rats brewing.
The black tide is truly boundless, and there are more elite rat people mixed together, and there are also huge giant rats. And because of the commotion of the blue dragon's approach, the green evil energy that lit up showed that the nezumi priest was also among them.
All Annan's pride suddenly extinguished at this moment.
With the help of a long battle line and exhaustion of all the fortifications, they were able to wipe out the first wave of rats under the walls. But now, more, more powerful second wave of rat waves is approaching.
The walls of Xingyue Bay are "only" twenty meters long...... Fifty nezumi corpses can be piled up on the walls.
Annan pursed her lips and patted Elimoas's back.
"Let's go back......"
The time of the apocalypse was early December, and Annan initially thought it was the time of the arrival of the rat tide, but now it is only mid-November...... What will happen in that half a month? The fall of Starmoon Bay? Is it the wave of rats in front of you that has fallen into it?
Back at Xingyue Bay, Annan only told his friends the news for the time being.
"It's not all elite rats in the end...... right?"
The difference between an ordinary nezumi and an elite nezumi is like that between a civilian and a soldier. They have armor, they have weapons, they have strong physiques.
"No, we don't have anything here. But Breezy expects that. β
Xingyue Bay has been blessed by the remote.
In any case, Annan had to deal with the second wave of rats and would do whatever it took to do so:
Annan mobilized all the male leaders, trained them as militias, and at least learned how to use muskets. Prior to this, Annan presided over a brief ceremony of honors: all 2,000 musketeers were promoted to centurions.
The Guardian Mages of Aid praised the soldiers as true elites.
And the mage's praise builds the true confidence of the musketeers. All they knew was how many nezumi they had killed, and they knew they were powerful, but they still felt like they were a head shorter than the soldiers in Breeze.
Right now? The Knights of Breez didn't kill as many nezumi as they did.
The fast cowhide blows to the sky, and any break into the nest saves people and kills the rat mother, but the rat man killed is almost equivalent to a centurion.
The guardian mages looked at the muskets a little squarely. Annan therefore carried out the second unscrupulous means: "You are interested in magic muskets? You only need ten gold coins to buy a shot, and you can sell it at a minimum of ten. β
"I just want to buy one." The stunned master said.
"I am the King of the North, you are the guardian mentor of the Mage Tower, and 10 gold coins are humiliating us." Through sophistry, Annan sold the Mage Tower 10 magic muskets in exchange for 100 gold coins.
Two more magic cannons can be built.
The third unscrupulous tactic is to send a team of muskets out of the city with Broken Tooth to see if they can turn against the nezumi.
Then Annan went to the house of the wine lady and tried the fourth unscrupulous.
Ms. Wine's wine estate is unfortunate on the nezumi's way north, and the kind-hearted Annan uses a portal to move her property to Starmoon Bay.
"I needβ"
As Annan sat on the fragrant sofa and just spoke, he was interrupted by the wine lady.
"How much do you want? Sweetheart. β
Annan bowed his head shyly: "I want them all." β
"What a greedy boy......"
Ten minutes later, the old butler drove the servant to pile the last box of gold coins beside Annan.
Annan sincerely said to Lindy, who was standing aside, "Thank you and your aunt. β
"You don't have to thank us, you help us."
"But you could have run to Breeze, wouldn't you?"
Annan took note of the Wincht family's help, poured the first magic potion for an unknown number of bottles, and opened the portal to Breeze City.
"Here are three thousand gold coins, and I'm going to exchange them for six thousand gold pieces of steel."
Thinking that he had misheard, Annan took the opportunity to do a fifth unscrupulous measure: "We paid an unbearable price to clean up the first wave of rats, and as a result, the second wave of rats will arrive in three days...... I'm afraid that Xingyue Bay won't be able to resist. β
The magic potion that entered the stomach did not disappear, and it still appeared in Annan's black eyes.
"Help me, Sister Olmedo."
ββ¦β¦ Well, the youngest daughter of Merlin's blacksmith shop is a fan of yours, and I'll invite her to the City Lord's Mansion later today, and it's up to you to discuss with her?" β
Annan's tears poured out at the thought of drinking magic potions, which made Olmedo unbearable: "In this case, I'll send you the steel from Breeze City's stock first......"
"Thank you...... Suck ......"
Olmedo also comforted Annan for a while, and as the portal closed, Annan's smile replaced tears. He thought for a moment, was this the true ability of a warlock?
Coming back to his senses, Annan found that Lindy was still staring at him.
"You know that...... Crying is the basic skill of an actor. β
In order to save time, Annan returned to the Lord's Mansion with bad words about Agarwal all the way, and the centurions were training the militia in the distance:
"Raise your gun! Aim! Pull the trigger! Reload! Raise your gun! Aimβ"
With the sixth unscrupulous, Annan knocked on Editria's bedroom door.
"Sister, does that Fire Dragon Ancestor have anything you like? A sparkling gem? β
Annan thought that the blue dragon still had a few gems, and he could take them all to please the fire dragon......
"No, the dragon will help us for free......"
Editia said, then rubbed her ears as if they were uncomfortable.
"The Fire Dragon Ancestor is really a good dragon...... "Annan sighed.
The seventh unscrupulous is Lilith's, and unfortunately she can't help
In the evening, Broken Tooth and they returned, bringing back dozens of nezumi. Annan used his charm to make the nezumi think he was a Sturne, then put plate armor on them, let Broken Fang train the musketeers for a few days, and put them on the city wall, so that Broken Fang could bring the news to the second wave of rats.
On the fourth day, the second wave of rat tides arrived outside Xingyue Bay, and they were relatively calm and did not attack immediately.
Annan's heart welled up with joy and uneasiness.
Fortunately, the tooth was successfully broken, and I was not worried that the rat tide and Xingyue Bay did not have any buffer. As soon as they charge, they will appear on the walls after a minute.
Thankfully, the dragon's breath will teach them to be rats.
Brewing the eighth unscrupulous Annan, imitating the attire of the Nezumi Elder: dressed in gray robes and carrying a spine staff, he appeared on the city wall, looking down on the Nezumi sacrifice who was wearing the same gray robe as him and the broken tooth next to him.
