With the coalition thwarting the first wave of the McCain Clan's offensive and inflicting a heavy loss on them, the Great Wall of the North is no longer facing the shadow of war for the time being.

The McCain clan is still slowly advancing northward, and it is expected that the vanguard will reach the mountains north after the rainy season.

Abundant rains have turned war-damaged woodlands back into grasslands, and weeds have begun to swell.

How good would it be for Annan to raise a herd of cattle and sheep to graze on this grassland without war, and live unrestrained?

But war, has never changed......

……

The Black Watch station, the coalition meeting that reduced the number from thirty to twenty-seven, ended.

The meeting focused on what Annan had always been concerned about: the nest capital of the northern mountains.

The Empire ordered the coalition forces to destroy the nest capital that was parasitic outside the Great Wall before the main force of the nezumi arrived.

And in order to beware of the presence of nezumi spies among the coalition forces, they will mobilize after the meeting.

Annan followed the scattered crowd and walked out.

"You don't seem to be in high spirits." Archmage Albek sent Annan out.

"No, I'm just worried if it's going to be a ...... Pitfall. ”

"No, the nezumi can't hide the power to beat us right under our noses."

"Then I'm relieved......"

Annan hoped that Jerry had run away, instead of being stupid enough to stay in the nest and live and die with the nest......

Blackwatch's plan is simple and brutal in the style of the Empire: open portals around the hive, and then the coalition will rush in.

The only drawback is that the nests are all protected by evil powers, they can't appear directly in the nest capital and attack them from the inside - the same goes for the nezumi, the Great Wall of the North is protected by a magical barrier, and the nezumi can only go around the back and besiege them on two sides at most...... and besieged on both sides.

At noon, coalition forces gathered on the Great Wall of the North, and as the blackwatch mages propped up the giant portal to the nest, the coalition forces swarmed up.

There was no arrangement and preparation, and the coalition forces fought more rat people than rat men, burrowing into the nest capital in all directions, and killing the rat people when they met them.

The forces rushed into the rat tide in high spirits, ready to hunt for some more rat ears...... It turned out that the rats here were missing an ear.

"How do these nezumi ears ......," the military minister of the Principality of the Windmill Principality, who followed Annan, wondered.

"yes, what's going on?" Annan looked away with a weak heart.

Annan deliberately captured a nezumi and asked the mages to teach it the lingua franca. The good news is that Jerry and the Grey-haired Rat Priest are gone, and the bad news is that the Gray-Haired Rat Priest who was released by Annan has taken the Hive Queen, the Craftsman, and all the valuable things, and now the Hive is only a few slave rats and a small number of elite rats.

Their worries are unnecessary, this nest has no evil powers, they can teleport inside.

However, there is also a champion rat who has become the interim administrator of the nest. It was a strong but ugly McCaine rat, leading the elite rats to resist stubbornly in the nest.

Now it seems that it was used as a scapemade rat.

Annan gave the slave rat to Broken Tooth and asked it to expand his nezumi cronies, only to kill it within a few minutes of Broken Tooth.

"Why?"

"It's stupid." Broken Tooth said.

Compared with the little brother Miller who received before, there is still a Martin between them.

In fact, such a guy can still be used for hard labor with a little training, but I didn't expect that there is an elite concept of broken teeth.

Annan followed the team all the way to the heart of the Rat Hive: the Nest Capital.

This was the first time Annan had seen the Nest, a twisted and spectacular nest made of obsidian and spikes, which alone could launch an invasion of a human realm...... There are even several human nations like the Duchy of Montabullloc.

Annan suddenly felt that this place was a little familiar, and then remembered that this place was like a copy of what he had seen in the underground of Breeze City......

So the Stoun clan was planning to build a nest capital underneath Breeze City?

No wonder they hate themselves so much......

Fights are staged all over the nest. When a nest loses the protection of the priest and the evil power, it means that the protection of the priest and the evil energy is lost...... In short, it didn't take much effort for the coalition forces to clean up all the nezumi.

Everyone exited the rat's nest, and as the black watch mage unleashed the earth movement technique, the terrifying smoke rose into the sky, the large flock of birds scattered, and the hill where the nest was located turned into a basin.

Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they should be buried deep underground.

Seeing this scene, Annan suddenly realized that Black Watch didn't need support at all, and they just tried to keep the rat's ears as much as possible...... And find an excuse to stay there and leave the coalition on its own.

In any case, it only took them half a day to clear a nest, but for some reason that was not suitable for public, they harvested about zero rat ears.

As for where all the nezumi ears in the nest capital go...... The forces know this.

It didn't take long for rumors about "Annan is good at cutting rat ears" to quietly spread on the Great Wall in the north.

The war on the Great Wall in the north has come to an end for the time being, and although the news of hunting and destroying nests is still fermenting, the coalition forces on the Great Wall have fallen into a long state of idleness.

The leaders of the forces returned one after another, leaving only the soldiers to garrison.

After sending off the military minister of the Principality of Windmills and the count of the Principality of Seke, Annan was also ready to leave.

As the lord of Liberty City, Annan will not always supervise the war on the Great Wall in the north.

The Hellfire Legion was still stationed on the Great Wall of the North, and this idleness gave them just the right time to practice breathing.

The Fourth Legion was not good at defensive warfare, so it was sent back to Liberty City by Annan and continued to practice with the bandits and wild monsters that emerged around the Watchman.

Finally, saying goodbye to the Black Watch, Annan asked Dean Brehim to pick him up, and he took a trip back to Montreal first.

Serita Dena and Tribulus run the Moonlight Opera House very well, even a little noisy - in the past of Serita Dena and Tribulus Terrestris with the promotion of "Voices of Freedom", the night show is even more lively than the day.

Many spectators came to see Cerita Dena and Tribulus. Ostensibly, they stole a part of the attention that belonged to Annan...... But whose pocket does the money fall into?

The most popular magical images of Montreal Hills surprised Annan: the first was "The Fall of the Mage Tower", which he was not surprised by, but the second was "Five Hundred Years of Horror".

This does not fit the stereotype of the "barbarian" of the empire. Or do barbarians need love too?

There was no time when he came before, but this time Annan made a special appearance at the Moonlight Opera House, signed autographs for all the audience who bought the Philosopher's Stone, collected thousands of gold coins, and returned to the Montreal estate.

That night, Annan talked to his ancestor about what happened on the Great Wall in the north, including buying rat ears to grab the first place, in exchange for the laughter of his ancestors.

Early the next morning, Annan took Lily with him and returned to Liberty City, where he was loyal.
