Alien world

Chapter 1174 Chapter 96. Charming Rat Man
It's not impossible. The finances of Liberty City can support him to do so, not to mention that Annan has a strange dependence on the city walls.

The thirty-meter-high wall of Xingyue Bay still stands there, injuring the cervical vertebrae of countless ratmen and those who believed there were treasures on it.

It's like the more, higher and thicker the walls are, the safer Liberty City will be - but Liberty City is a floating city.

Annan believes that floating Free City is a last resort. If you can protect the entire territory, why flee?
The two deputy city lords agreed with him. After all, concrete is very suitable for building city walls. It is strong, durable and cheap. The only problem is... Who are they defending against with such a large-scale fortification? Ratmen and demons?
But how can we make the Empire believe it?

In fact, what Annan said to scare the surrounding forces was not necessarily false. In April, the muddy and rotten land formed by the melting ice and snow in the North was almost dry, and there were still four or five months before the rainy season. If the ratmen and demons wanted to do something, this period would be the best time.

Throw the blame on the rat people?

"What are Maria and Gail busy with lately?" Annan asked.

"Maria pretended to be in the Rat People group and leaked the false information we deliberately released. Gale pretended to be in the same group as us and secretly contacted the Stunn Rat People."

"I'll ask Gale."

There is no need to continue this banquet.

Annan glanced casually out the window and saw Cathy chasing and beating several boys.

……

Cathy, Ivana and the little blue dragon Grasti were walking down the street after early school.

As she walked, she urged Ivana, who was walking slowly at the back: "Hurry up, there are a lot of delicious food at the banquet!"

"Food doesn't taste better if you arrive a few minutes earlier, nor does it disappear if you arrive a few minutes later." Ivana, who is still in the teething period, speaks with a lisp, but looks like a little adult.

“But I can eat it a few minutes earlier!”

Cathy was about to pull Ivana away when she saw Lily running in front of her, followed by three boys holding branches chasing after them.

"stop!"

Cathy dropped her backpack and rushed out, followed by Grasti, and finally Ivana who picked up the backpack.

Grasty half-glided and pinned one down, Cathy grabbed another, and Ivana did nothing, but the remaining boy stood there in silence, not daring to move.

"Meow~" Lily stopped.

Cathy grabbed the branch, grabbed the boy and started beating him.

"I'll let you bully Lily! I'll let you bully Lily! I'll let you bully Lily!"

After giving all three boys a lesson, Cathy put her hands on her hips and kicked them one by one: "If I see you bullying Lily again, I will peel off your skin and use it as boots!"

"Wow——"

All boys have been beaten, but the harshest scolding they have received is just being told that they are ugly and no one wants them. When they suddenly come into contact with the "adult realm", they will run away crying.

Cathy turned around, picked up Lily and examined her carefully. After finding no injuries, she held her in her arms and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

……

"Hey, Gail."

Knocking on the door of the female ratman who had locked herself in the room, Annan greeted her with a smile.

"what's up?"

Gail asked cautiously. She stood in the doorway, blocking the view behind it.

"Abby said you haven't come out for a few days, I'm worried..."

"Just this?"

Gale was unmoved. She had betrayed too much information about the Saints. If the elders knew about it, they would punish her with death...

"Not really. I wanted to ask you, is Stuhn Rat planning to move south?" "I don't know."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you don't tell me, Maria will tell me." Annan made a gesture to leave.

"Maria? She doesn't dare, and she doesn't know." Gale said with a mocking tone. How could a brown-haired rat be compared with her?

"What about the Rat King?"

"Rat King?" Gale was stunned.

"Yes, I met the Rat King of the Thrane clan in the Elf King's Court." Annan deliberately said to Gale: "We became good friends."

Gail was a little hesitant, subconsciously feeling that Annan was lying, but it was credible.

Clan Thrane is different from Clan Storn. They are more secular, or... more ethnic.

The ratmen are just like the humans, elves, and beastmen.

Gael vaguely remembered that the Saint Tribe once had twelve tribes, and the Thrane Clan was added later. As for why they were not affected by the Rat God, Gael did not know. That seemed to be a deeper secret of the Saint Tribe.

Gale showed a sense of crisis, which was keenly caught by Annan: "Can I go in?"

"no!"

"I'm disappointed with your appearance... Do you remember when we first met?" Annan said regretfully.

"How can you not remember? You and that brown rat captured me and made me betray the Saint Clan!"

It seems that appeasement doesn't work...

"You were the one who tried to seduce me first." Annan's tone became low: "Gail, you don't want the elders to know that you betrayed the clan's secrets..."

"you……"

Gail straightened his tail, and Annan took advantage of the gap to force his way into the bedroom.

Staring at the back of Annan's neck, numerous ideas flashed through Gail's mind, but he finally dismissed them.

She knew that Annan carried a lot of amulets with him, and if she really did that, she would be the one in trouble.

Because the Council of Elders felt that Annan could be turned against...

Annan looked around but didn't find anything suspicious in plain sight.

Gale seemed to know what Annan was looking for, and sneered: "I didn't do anything, I just don't want to have contact with you."

Annan did not comment. He turned around and said to the beautiful Gale with the features of a ratman: "Gale, we are friends. The ratman Stuen and I are not enemies. You don't have to be wary of me. I just want to help you."

"Help us?"

"The MacKenn ratmen took over the North, and the ratmen are praising them, but how could they have been so successful without your clan, the Stoon clan? Your clan has worked hard in the North for a long time, but in the end, the MacKenn ratmen took away the fruits of victory... Are you really willing to accept this?"

Gale felt that these words were familiar, but they really hit the point that the Stuen rat man cared about most.

They arrived in this cold land almost together with humans, and they planned here for hundreds of years, but in the end, everything was burned to ashes, and they were laughed at for doing nothing...

Gail almost succumbed to Annan's whispers. She regained consciousness through the pain of biting her tongue: "No matter what you say, I don't want to betray the Saint Clan anymore."

Annan's whisper was like a hand brushing Gale's cheek: "You are wrong, Gale. I don't intend to let you betray the Stoon clan, but after all, it is our common enemy, isn't it?"

"enemy?"

"Yes, enemies. The North should have belonged to you, but it was occupied by the McKeon clan, who laughed at you for being useless... Aren't they enemies?"
