Alien world

Chapter 1165 87. If you don't want the elves, find the ratmen

Annan froze in place.

Even without looking back, he could imagine the sneer and ridicule on the faces of the guests behind him.

"The Elf King's Court..."

The old elf elder was still saying something, but Annan could no longer hear anything. When he regained consciousness, the elders and guests had already left, and he was the only one standing there.

"Annan..." Taidel came over, looking apologetic, "I didn't expect this to happen."

She thought the Council of Elders would separate Annan and Aidan. The indulgence they showed these days was proof of that. Unexpectedly, they still...

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the elves don't want to form an alliance and play with my simple feelings... I can still form an alliance with the ratmen."

Taidel gave a bitter smile, allowed Annan to speak angrily, and handed him the juice in his hand.

"I'm serious." Annan took the juice and said.

Annan is not an idiot who knows nothing about politics, although he is indeed too naive at times...

But he could see the consequences of the elves' "betrayal" - both the victory over the Kingdom of Rekanel and the ambiguity with the elves would disappear with the announcement of non-alignment.

Annan and his Free City would become a laughing stock. When people talk about Free City, some would say "the city of the champion warlock", some would say "the city-state that produces a lot of magic images", some would say "the city of rebellious warlocks", but more people would say "the force that the elves refused to ally with".

At this time, Annan turned to find a new ally, and the ridicule still existed. But if it was a ratman, the ridicule would be transferred to the elves.

"Calm down..."

"I'm calm. You were the ones who started it." Annan shook his head and took a sip of the juice.

The juice had a slightly fermented taste, not as strong as wine, and tasted good. Annan took another big sip: "You should know how long I have been preparing for this alliance, how much effort I have put in, and how much I have sacrificed. But look..."

The pair of black eyes looked with disgust at the elf elders standing in groups of two or three.

"These old guys still arrogantly rejected me, just because I am a human being."

"We still have a chance..."

"Ten years or fifty years? Elves are immortal, but humans are not."

Taidel still wanted to keep him. His bright eyes that made it difficult for anyone to say no stared at Annan: "I don't want us to become enemies..."

"It's up to you." Annan said seriously, "You will regret it..."

"You're drunk," she said.

"No."

Actually, there is a little bit...

Annan felt his face getting hot, but his mind was clearer than ever.

"Don't worry, I'm only targeting those old guys. You, Irelanze, and those night elves are still my friends."

Taidel wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Annan.

"Teddel, you and I both know that it is not me who can make the decision, but the Council of Elders."

Taidel felt sorry. The elves on her side thought that she chose Annan because his power was not strong and easy to control, but she really believed that an alliance with Annan would bring new life to the long-dormant Elf Royal Court...

Put aside your anxiety and think positively, at least they didn't become enemies.

"Then enjoy the celebration. I hope the upcoming celebration will clear your gloom..."

"I want to go back."

Annan said to Taidel, who was obviously not familiar with the rules outside, "You vetoed the alliance. If I stay in the royal court for one more day, I will be ridiculed for one more day. It is better for me to go back to develop the territory and look for new allies."

"Feel sorry……"

"No need to apologize. I've done something wrong to you as well." Taidel was puzzled. Annan smiled and said, "I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards now. I want to cultivate my own world tree, too."

Like the most beautiful flower blooming, Teddel smiled.

"I wish you success."

She thought Annan was joking, but only the Skeleton King knew how true Annan's words were.

"So the heroic treatment you've received these days is actually compensation from the elves."

Annan, who was standing next to the Skeleton King with juice in his hand, said helplessly: "I thought you would comfort me."

“Setbacks are part of life.”

"I know, it's just..."

Annan took out the speech he had spent a whole night preparing... shook his head, and stuffed it into the juice cup as if it were waste paper.

The juice soaked the speech, and the densely written characters on the paper gradually became blurred.

"Are you really planning to form an alliance with the Nezumi?"

Annan cast a spell, opened the portal, sent back a brief message "Alliance failed, prepare to go home", and then closed the portal again.

The elven wizard who was staring at the celebration withdrew his gaze.

"Why not?" Annan replied to Skeleton King, "Ratmen are full of treasures. Black-haired rats are not very smart, but they have strong reproductive capacity, so they are more suitable for hard labor than skeletons that need to be purified. Brown-haired rats have no requirements, and they will work for a lifetime as long as they are given food and shelter. Gray-haired rats are smart and clever, have exotic customs, and can use fel energy."

The premise is that it can be controlled. If it cannot be controlled, it will be a new chaos in the North.

Annan has been planning to hunt the rat people for a long time, otherwise he would not have kept Maria and Gale by his side.

"The turmoil of the gods is temporary. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a hundred years later, they will eventually return. By then, even if there is a drop of ratman blood flowing in your body, you will be controlled by the Horned Rat."

“There are no roads in the world, but roads will be formed when more people walk on them. I believe there are always more solutions than problems.”

It's just a god, he's talking as if he doesn't care about anyone. I've been raising the little spider and the silly cat for so long, the god can't turn his face and disown me, right?
Maybe the turmoil of the gods has weakened Liberty City.

One day in the future, the gods will return, and the little... Spider Queen Rose will bring her entire clan of dark elves to surrender, and the silly... Cat and Midnight Girl will bring cats and... Forget it, just him.

By then, the small Liberty City will have two gods, the spider and the cat.

"hey-hey……"

Annan laughed out loud.

Taidel, who had been watching him from a distance, thought to himself that it seemed that Annan had recovered from his depression...

The Stoon Skaven are Annan's first target, but Annan also has some friendship with the Rat King of the Thrane Skaven, so it doesn't cost anything to give it a try.

Looking around, Annan found the Rat King in a corner of the banquet, who looked like he was going to eat up all the royal court, and walked over to say hello.

"Hey, Rat King, I came to say goodbye to you."

……

The news of the failed alliance was sent to the City Lord's Mansion.

After listening to the guard's report, Olmedo remained silent for a long time.

Fortunately, after listening to Annan's words yesterday, Olmedo did not spread it.

"Is Annan okay?"

"Lord Annan closed the door after he finished speaking..." The guard was full of indignation.

“He doesn’t even want to stay outside for a while…” Olmedo shook his head, thinking he had seen through Annan. “Tell the officials the news and ask them to cancel the celebration.”
