Alien world

Chapter 322 175. Honor and Merit
The rat-nest extermination battle lasted 1 hour and 14 minutes, killing 514 ratmen, and no one was injured. They also deliberately let go of the ratman priests and some ratman elites.

The musketeers, whose faces were smoked into the bottom of the pot by the gunpowder, were filled with white smiles, and excitedly told their companions how many ratmen they had killed.Annan indulged them. As the leader of the musketeers, the ratmen they killed should also be counted on him——

"It's up to you to deal with the pollution," Annan and Olmedo said.

Olmedo and the scavenger team who followed said, "I will leave it to you to deal with the pollution."

"Quiet!"

Losey looked at the group of young men who made him proud, and although he had no children, he was about the same age as them.Annan opened the portal to send the Musketeers back to Xingyue Bay, followed Olmedo back to Breeze City, and let her pass through the park.

"I'm going to see the centurion."

Olmedo thought that he was going to ask the teacher for the crime, and the Ratman ran back to Breeze City and almost continued Annan's "banquet curse", but the scavenger didn't notice it at all.But in fact, Annan has realized the essence of being useless as a scavenger—two Holy Grail knights have died, and the scavenger of Wangcheng is still wandering in the streets.

Annan visited the centurion and asked him: "When will you return the 100 gold coins you borrowed from me in the capital?"

"When did I borrow it?"

"It's really you...how did you do it?" Annan thought that Betar City and Fengrao City also had scavengers, so there were also two centurions there, right?

"secret."

"Then you know what happened in the capital in real time?"

"Almost." The centurion walked around Annan and opened the door to see off the guests.

Annan sat down directly in the centurion's room: "Tell me your opinion."

"What's your opinion?"

"The capital of the kingdom allowed the Ratmen of McCann to go north, and pushed to the foot of the king's city to 'destroy' the rat disaster, killing two Holy Grail knights and allowing the remaining ratmen to come to the north?"

Like a meteorite that fell from the sky, it was torn apart. Except for the capital, the surrounding towns were devastated. Only the nobles of the capital who survived the disaster celebrated with each other.

"See with my eyes."

It seemed that the centurion didn't want to say anything. Annan took a deep breath and stared at the centurion seriously: "The last question, what is the goal of the rat man?"

"Maybe it's you." The centurion joked.

Annan gave up asking her for secrets. The centurion is still there, so Breeze City should be fine...but there are centurions everywhere, who knows if a few of them will die.

The centurion sent Annan out and passed the training hall. Annan coveted these elites selected from Breeze City, and it was a waste of chagrin to the scavengers who did nothing...

Stepping up the spiral steps, Annan remembered a long-ago event: "Where is that bard who took refuge in Chaos?"

"died."

"died?"

"He glimpsed the ultimate and magnificent in the chaotic chaos, and burned his soul into a star."

To say this, you must be at least at the level of a Chaos executive... Wouldn't the scavenger be infiltrated by the Ratmen?
Annan was worried about those newcomers, so when he returned to the city lord's mansion, he pulled Francois over: "I have a task for you. The scavenger who does nothing has recruited a group of newcomers and squandered everything. I want you to find them. Find a way to get them to join Xingyue Bay."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Coercion and lure: If you don't join Xingyue Bay, you can't kill the Ratman. If you join Xingyue Bay, you can kill the Ratman."

Those who joined the scavengers were all enemies of the Ratmen, Annan thought it would not be too troublesome to seduce them.But before that, he had better consolidate his aura of "rat man nemesis".

The Musketeers who had just returned to Xingyue Bay were recalled again, and Annan urgently asked Yili Crushed Stone to design a medal that could be painted on plate armor.

"medal?"

"It's not a medal, it's merit."

Medals are used to recognize a battle, while meritorious service is used to recognize individual battles: they will be graffitied on the right chest of the plate armor, and the meritorious pattern for killing a ratman is a drop of blood, representing the first drop of blood.Kill a hundred ratmen to turn into red blood, kill [-] ratmen to turn into black blood, and then the first drop, the second drop, the third drop...

The head pattern of the Ratman represents killing one Elite Ratman, killing ten of them will turn into a red rat head, and killing a hundred of them will turn into a black rat head.

There are special merits above ordinary ratmen and elite ratmen, but Annan hasn't figured it out yet, and the current Xingyue Bay doesn't need it either.

Annan's idea made Yili Shishi tremble with excitement. He had no doubts about what kind of catastrophe the Ratman around Xingyue Bay would face after using his meritorious deeds—even the Ratman resident of Xingyue Bay would have to Be careful, or your ears will be cut off by soldiers who want meritorious service.

After discussing with Yili Broken Stone before noon, Annan asked the City Lord's Mansion to prepare a paint for him, and borrowed the square of Breeze City to award meritorious service.

The onlookers outside the square blocked the square completely. Annan stood on the temporary high platform and announced the rules of the Ratman Medal to the musketeers under the warm sunshine:

"You can cut off the rat man's right ear, and the battle kills that cannot be counted will be distributed equally. So in this battle, 100 of you will divide [-] rat men!"

Ely Crushed Stone led his artisans to paint patterns of blood on the chests of the soldiers' plate armor.

As for Annan—as the owner of the Rat Man Slayer, Frost Giant Defense, and Knight Order Defense Medals, and the lord of Xingyue Bay, Annan should enjoy the sweet fruit of this victory—he got two medals representing kills. The red blood and black rat heads of hundreds of dead ratmen and elite ratmen made meritorious deeds.

He made this bowl of apple pie for this plate of cane sugar.

This reward, which everyone envied, including the Breeze City guards who maintained order, lasted until noon.The onlookers also continued to disperse and gather again. When the chests of all musketeers were smeared with blood drops full of honor, this team that had just left the recruits had a breath of iron and blood.

After a few more battles, they will become real warriors and elites.

Because Annan's magic power has not been restored, all Musketeers are forced to stay in Breeze City for a day.That night, the Olmedo family came in a carriage with a hundred dresses, distributed them to the Musketeers, and invited them to a celebration banquet—just in case, this banquet was in Olmedo’s name.

Annan watched indulgently a group of soldiers much older than himself playing curiously in the banquet hall, gathered around the dining table to stuff their mouths, or held hands and danced wildly on the dance floor.

A figure came to his side, exuding a slight fragrance like a flower garden under the sun.

"You better speed up."

But the words spoken were like a storm approaching.

"what happened?"

"The speed of the Rat Man is faster than expected..."

"Next spring? Around New Year's? It won't be this winter..."

Olmedo answered Annan's last guess: "At the speed they're going, yes."
