Annan, who had completed his goal, could go back at any time, but he still wanted to stay a little longer and be a gold digger again.

Elimoas' dragon's lair lacks a decent sapphire, and by the way, she cements her uncrowned title as the champion of the mouse hunt.

On a new day, Annan returned to the pontoon. His urging caused Count Ulmit to change his plans and choose the most prosperous city-state in the western part of the kingdom, Solren Go, as the first location.

"Dude, it's full of rats and gold diggers right now......"

"Don't worry, it's them that need to be worried."

To reassure Count Ulmit, Annan displayed two amulets: one belonging to Mr. Schwaro and one to Abbot Brehim.

And the advantage of mages is that it is difficult to stay as long as they want to leave.

Annan was the main force of the operation, and he opened the portal to let the hundred-man musketeers led by Fermi arrive...... That's all that's left.

After the evacuation from the North, many of the soldiers were integrated into the local area like the residents, with only 300 elite soldiers following to Typhoon Shelter, and now only about 100 three months later. However, each soldier is a centurion who has killed hundreds of nezumen.

"A bunch of ordinary people?" The Earl was suspicious.

"You can think of them as mages who can unleash arcane missiles in a row."

Looking at the musketeers, clad in claw marks and graffiti, and holding special weapons, Count Ulmit was noncommittal.

These soldiers were not enough for them to go deep into the Violet Old Earth, so there were also a hundred large earth elementals and ten water elementals, wind elementals, and fire elementals each.

The water element provides a safe source of water for logistics; The wind element acts as a scout for aerial reconnaissance; The fire elemental is used to make fires and maintain temperature—the Violet Kingdom borders the northern border, and it's still cold.

The Elemental Legion that Annan had conceived had already taken shape.

The Earl of Ulmit, on the other hand, had only the chief mage, Farias, and a team of professionals who had barely scraped together.

Before leaving, the worried Count whispered something to Farias, and then Farias approached Annan and asked him about Gem City.

Although mages and warlocks don't like each other, Annan usually gets along with mages. After talking for a while, Farias asked about Annan's story yesterday.

"I made it up." Annan chuckled calmly: "Otherwise, my stubborn old brother would not have agreed." ”

"Lord Earl has despised your strength." "He asked me to tell you that you can get three shares of the inheritance." ”

Disembarking from the New Primordial, Farías told the Count, who was worried about Annan's strength, "He agreed. You can rest assured that Annan has qualities that many people do not have. ”

Towards mid-morning, they boarded the new Initial Ship and landed on the shore.

Annan opened the portal, sent the horses and wagons to the old land, and shouted excitedly before setting off: "This is our expeditionary force!" ”

It's just that the Count of Ulmit, who was closed to news, failed to understand what Annan meant.

……

Solren High City.

It is a city built on the highlands of a vast hilly area.

When the rat plague came, the city held out for a long time with its terrain, but just as a hard rock could not stop a tsunami, the city of Solren eventually disappeared with the kingdom.

"Isn't there a floating city in the Violet Kingdom?" Annan and Count Ulmit sat in the carriage.

"The garden of the royal city is a floating city, but it is of little use."

"Floating City can't even resist the nezumi?"

"They don't need to attack, they just need to destroy everywhere in the floating city."

This is a wake-up call for Annan to beware of the infiltrating Stoun ratmen...... Or make the Sturne rats allies?

Almost 700 miles from the coastline to the high city of Solren, they could theoretically reach it in a week. But there will always be accidents in the perilous old land, such as the remnants of the nezumi -

Annan didn't let the earth elemental punch a rat man, but handed it over to the rusty musketeer. The sound of gunfire will spread far away on the plains, but it doesn't matter either.

Count Ulmit's eyes widened as the musketeers lined up to meet the two or three hundred nezumi, the salvo of magic muskets and the nezumi falling like wheat flakes.

"What is this?!"

"Magic Musket."

"Civilians can use it too?!"

"All it takes is some training."

Count Ulmit grabbed Annan excitedly: "I want this!" My brother, you must give me ......! ”

No one understands his anxiety. His men spent all day and night on the old land, and only found a hundred survivors in one winter, and I am afraid that the people on the old land are not enough to make up the population of a city-state. Professionals will only be scarcer...... Because he hasn't found it yet.

"The magic musket is my foundation......" Annan hesitated.

"We are allies!"

The clever chief mage offered, "50 gold coins a handful." ”

Annan moved, but still shook his head: "The magic musket is not worth this money, 10 gold coins a piece." But don't give it to anyone else. ”

"Just 50 gold coins a handful, I'll ask for 1,000 first!" The Count of Ulmit said firmly, "If you find the inheritance, it will be given to you." ”

War is the best way to make money at any time.

Having eliminated all the nezumi and moved their bodies, the musketeers returned and they continued their journey. On the third day of departure, a second accident was encountered in a small town far from the coast - survivors.

Rat tides are everywhere, but they tend to overlook some corners.

Annan's "expeditionary force" had no hope when passing through the unnamed town, but because it had not been set foot by gold diggers, they came in to search for a legacy, only to find fresh nezumi corpses at the mayor's house after cleaning up the town, and after searching the kitchen closet, they found the Jon sisters hidden inside.

"Who are you?" Fermi asked.

But because he looked scarier than the nezumi, the two girls refused to answer.

Annan came to the kitchen and asked gently, "Are you relatives of the mayor?" ”

The older sister emboldened and said, "The ...... we fled in."

"Are there any other survivors?"

"I don't know."

Sister Jon feeds on rat people these days. In a way, the nezumi saved them - in the wilderness, the two of them had starved to death.

Annan asked Fermi to make some more noise in the town, but they were the last two survivors of the town.

The men of the Count of Ulmet were looting, and found more than two thousand gold coins and treasures worth several hundred gold coins. The money was temporarily contained in Annan's magic ring.

Annan asked the fire elemental to heat some fish soup and bread for them, and the sisters looked at Annan timidly and devoured it after he said, "Eat."

Count Ulmitte, who earned the first pot of gold, was in a good mood and looked at the rescued Jon sisters: "My sister is too young to have children. Sister ......"

Annan interrupted his next words: "I'm going to take them back to Gem City. ”
