Alien world

Chapter 264 117. Arrival
Desolate, dark, hopeless.

The scarred land stretching to the horizon is a ruined scene of the skaven ravages.

They eat almost everything, animals, insects, trees, weeds, feces, humans... Their feces and shed hair are natural breeding grounds for plagues.

There have been frequent coughing sounds on the ship these days, and some crew members have been infected with the disease from time to time. Fortunately, there are druids to help get rid of the disease.

After sailing for about ten days, the New Initial returned to the vicinity of the Obiris Strait.The headland that once resisted the Ratmen disappeared, leaving a deep pit filled with sea water.

Surprisingly, some skaven were wandering the beach and hadn't left yet.

"Soldiers! Revenge with me!"

Ulmit raised his battle ax and roared, jumped from the ship after the New Initiate approached the shore, and rushed towards the Ratman with his less brave men who fell into the shallows on their ropes.

They are just a group of skaven lost here, and there are many such skaven scattered everywhere the clan goes.

The bear-like earl's recovery of his homeland will not be smooth...

Seeing a group of humans chasing and killing the squeaking ratmen like barbarians, François asked the crew to load the heavy horses and put down the small wooden boat.

The portal opened, and the busy crew began to move supplies.

Some druids turned into birds and scattered to land.

There is enough food and tools for them to use until the fall and next year, and enough cement for them to rebuild a castle or build a low wall the size of a town.

Then in the fall, the New Initiation or other sailboats will come again with food-making the Ratmen realize that "these blue wheat fields will bear heavy wheat than it is for the Ratmen to learn the Common Language", plus the land is covered. They pollute, and for the next few years, the ratmen will no longer be able to harvest food wherever they go.

The way Farias thought of was to find druids to purify the land, but I am afraid that there is not even a single person in the wasteland of the Violet Kingdom.So Ulmit took a box of gold coins to Annan, and Annan took the box of gold coins to the druids, asking them to give half of the druids to help.

Ten minutes later, Ulmit and his subordinates, covered in ratman blood, returned to the beach.Only Farias' mage's robes are as clean as new.

"Uh... I won't go there!"

He and his subordinates soaked themselves and their weapons in the sea to wash off the blood, and shouted this way.After a while, the treant druid approached the shoal, and the bark face full of ravines showed no emotion, only the deep voice could feel sullen and sad: "The souls of the forest are mourning..."

"Druid, uh...Your Excellency, I don't understand this, so just tell us what we should do!"

"We will purify your camp first, but this area of ​​pollution is too far away, just because we can't purify this place..."

"Do you need money? It doesn't matter, I have it!"

Urmit is rich and powerful, and the tree man druid declined, saying: "The 500 kinnars Annan gave us are useless..."

In exchange for this sentence, Ulmit exclaimed: "He gave you all the 500 gold coins?"

Francois in the distance looked here, crossed his hips, and what made him willing to work for Annan was precisely because of this ideal that no one else had.

It's just that this kind of good character was bought with Ingrid's supercilious eyes.

The last box of food was carried to the beach. "Good luck," Francois said.

Without heavy horses to distribute to them, these people who lost their country can only rely on themselves.Hopefully, when the New Initial returns in a few months, it will be a thriving town, not a ruin.

The new initial number turned around and returned.They will not go back yet, but catch up with the McCann Ratman and observe the progress of the rat tide on the sea.

……

The Dade and Druids who stayed in Xingyue Bay got rid of the plague for the porters, and continued to return to the north of the Glacier River to plant forests.

Back at the Lord's Mansion, in the evening, Annan learned the news from Olmedo: "...It is said that the nobles are still arguing over who will fight."

"Old rules?"

"Ah."

Old rules mean old news.

In view of the distance between Wangdu and Breeze City, the "new news" they got was actually more than 20 days ago, when the nobles "argued so loudly" that day - if you want to get real-time news, you have to wait for the new initial number on the return flight to catch up. On Ratman.

"But the Ratman arrived in Louis City 20 days ago, just on the border of the Kingdom, and they still want to escape?"

"It's actually different from what you think, they are fighting over who will play."

Annan subconsciously sensed something was wrong, and the folk customs in the Northland were aggressive, but he didn't think that the nobles in the capital who were experts in internal fighting and laymen in external fighting would have this kind of ability-this prejudice came from the arrest warrant a few days ago.

"Don't they know that it is a Ratmen clan that attacked?"

Olmedo pondered and said, "I'm afraid they know, but they arrogantly think that those ratmen are easy to deal with."

"...hope they're not so stupid."

The next day, Annan and Olmedo learned the news half a month ago in advance: the Holy Grail Knight led a team to the southern border of the Kingdom to fight against the rat plague.

Annan and the others were finally able to relax a little.The Kingdom of Rikaner is not a small country in Middle-earth like the Violet Kingdom, which is neither south nor north, neither attacked by demons nor invaded by ratmen.The demons of the North consume the strength of all the kingdoms of the North, but make their soldiers brave.

As long as the Rakaner Kingdom normally resists the rat plague, other countries will support it from other directions, and maybe the thirteen clans of the Ratmen can really stay in the Northland.

Just after closing the portal, Ingrid knocked on the study door and said that a girl who came with the caravan claimed to be from the capital.

"She's still a mage apprentice."

Then they are not here to arrest Annan.

Just in case, Annan called Della first, and then asked Ingrid to bring the girl. It was a delicate girl, and when she saw Annan, she shouted in surprise: "Jack! You are really the king of the North!" king!"

"The Fall of the Mage Tower" has become popular in the capital?

"Hello, my assistant said you are looking for me?"

Annan signaled the girl to sit in the wooden chair, and the girl who was holding the bundle just sat down, her head drooped and she remained motionless.

"What's up with her?"

"...She fell asleep." Della said, sensing that her breathing became weaker: "This girl is a little strange..."

"Is she an enemy?"

"Probably not."

Annan asked Della to carry the girl to the guest room to rest, but Della refused, saying: "She has many protective spells on her body, touching them may trigger the spells."

It seems that her origin is not simple.

Annan had no choice but to cover her with a blanket, let the maid Abby watch her, and when she woke up, she went to call herself, and walked out of the study with Della.

Annan, who had nothing to do, thought of the broken magic mirror, and rummaged through the drawer to find the magic mirror.I couldn't think of what to ask for the time being, so I said casually:
"Mirror, mirror, where is Liliana Lore now?"
