Alien world

Chapter 324 177. Clearing Up
The New Initiate docks in a cloud-shrouded harbour.

In the cold sea breeze, a group of soldiers set foot on the port in a neat line.The weapons they held were like spears, and the blood scribbled on the right chest of the refined plate armor washed away the immaturity of their faces.

Losey stepped on the pier, squinting slightly to look at the corrupt port with crows hovering around it.As the captain, his plate armor is as clean as new, because he failed to kill the Ratmen in the last battle, but Losey doesn't know why Lord Annan has...

He planned to personally kill some Ratmen in this trial. As the captain of the soldiers personally appointed by Mr. Annan, he couldn't be as good as his subordinates.

Da da--

The crisp sound of leather boots stepping on the deck came from behind, and Losey looked up, and saw Fast leaning against the side of the ship, wearing a tilted captain's hat: "Good luck."

Luoxi nodded solemnly, looked at the parchment for the last time, let go of his hand and let the sea breeze sweep it into the ocean.

[The plague of rats ran from south to north, hitting the capital and tearing it apart.But the splattering rat tide still caused disaster to the towns along the way.Yongyegang is lucky and unlucky.Unfortunately, it has been occupied by pirates and ratmen. Fortunately, you will change its fate. 】

[The main force of the rat wave has already gone north, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled are left here.This is the hatching place for warriors and the burial place for ratmen.Your next task: clean up the Evernight Port, and make it a port of call for Xingyue Bay in the future. 】

[The water elements have cleaned up and garrisoned the port. The port is a shelter for you, and you can return at any time in case of danger.But be careful, returning to the port means the trial is over]

……

Annan experienced a life-and-death crisis.

Specifically, when picking up the gold coins of Elimoas, its vertical eyes kept vibrating, and the undulating coercion made ghosts and skeletons tremble, as if breathing out a mouthful of dragon's breath at any time.

Fortunately, Annan didn't let outsiders come to Lanlong's "boudoir", but he spent a few minutes loading gold coins into the treasure box on the cart.

"Remember your promise... 100 gold coin interest per month."

Elimoas seemed to be sick, lying listlessly on the bare rocky mountain, and the swinging dragon tail slapped the gravel.

"What do you want to eat today? I'll ask the servant to prepare it." Annan coaxed the blue dragon who was in a bad mood.

"My treasure..."

A low growl shook the air, and Annan took the opportunity to sneak out of the nest.

Ingrid's Secretary of the Interior, Annan stood aside with his hips akimbo, and asked the guards to open the treasure chest on the cart.

"How much is this?"

Ingrid walked out of the mansion while talking with the staff, busy like a castellan.

"About 2000 gold coins!"

"These gold coins..." Ingrid was still thinking about where she got the money, Annan waved her hand, "Take it and use it first, and I'll ask for it if it's not enough."

There are still some collectibles and precious stones at Lanlong, but Annan did not borrow them because it is difficult to estimate the value and also because it is difficult to return them.

"it is good."

With the harvest of the banquet and these gold coins, Xingyue Bay can almost maintain the current progress until next year.

Before the treasure chest was moved into the mansion, Ingrid heard about the origin of the money——

Annan pushed the cart out of the blue dragon's lair without hiding his whereabouts, and Xingyue Bay had no secrets... It didn't take long for the people of Xingyue Bay to spread the word that even the blue dragon could not escape the fate of being exploited by Annan.

Knowing this, Annan didn't care. He ran to Aunt Susan and asked her to help make a giant apple pie in the shape of a pile of gold coins, and then returned to the Lord's Mansion to inquire about the situation of Yongye Port.

……

"Seventeen."

boom--

Smoke burst from the muzzle of the magic musket, and the rat man twenty yards away fell down.

Dozens of musketeers were scattered on the street about 300 meters away from the port. They neither huddled together nor dispersed from each other, maintaining a loose and cohesive formation to advance.

Fermi, who put down his musket, insisted on loading the new ammunition before rubbing his shoulders, but he only touched the cold plate armor.

"Are you making the same old mistakes again?" The relaxed Seldan picked up the musket and walked towards the rat man's corpse.

"No problem."

Fermi didn't like plate armor, especially his right shoulder was getting more and more painful, but he didn't like being cut open by the Ratmen's claws, just like his sister...

"Come on, when you came up instead, Captain Losey warned you to take a rest."

Sirdan put down his musket, pulled out a dagger and squatted beside the Rat Man, cutting off his ears with disgust on his face.Fermi observed the surrounding houses and streets, and said, "You'd better not think that way."

"why?"

"How many Ratmen are there?"

"Thousands!"

"How many of us are there?"

"100...600 people."

"600 people divided into [-] rats?"

Seldan stopped moving: "You want to take the centurion?"

The centurion was described by the soldiers as a red blood feat for killing a hundred ratmen. Seldan was surprised that Fermi thought so.

"Why not? We have to replace others when we go back, just like we replaced others. But as long as we persist, we will have a chance to get the meritorious service of bright red blood."

Seldan cut off the mouse's ears, turned and walked towards him: "No, Fermi...your name doesn't sound like a hero."

After finishing the words, he saw Fermi suddenly raised his musket towards him.

"You... you're crazy!"

"eighteen."

After icily spit out a number, Fermi pulled the trigger.Gunpowder smoke rose, and the eyeballs of a rat man crawling out of the ravine exploded.

"It's you who are crazy, why don't you die for the mouse's ear?"

Fermi continued to meticulously open the chamber and load the bullet.

Seldan couldn't help touching his buzzing ears, and grinned: "Who made this related to the achievements of our future hero Fermi?"

Fermi looked around and saw the musketeers passing by in the distance, waved to them, then snatched the musket held by Seldan and stuffed it into his arms: "Remember, we can kill the Ratmen only with musketeers, Hold your weapons!"

"The captain's plate armor seems to be clean." Sirdan held the musket and looked towards Luoxi: "Maybe we finished fighting the captain."

"Isn't there a ratman resident in our Xingyue Bay? Ask him to borrow an ear."

……

Aunt Susan and her sisters made the "gold coin pie" that Annan asked for, loaded it on the cart and went to the blue dragon's lair.

But Elimoas would rather put it in corruption than take a bite, and Annan's heart ached because of her listless appearance.In order to appease it, Annan spent 100 gold coins in exchange for [-] silver coins in two taverns and shops in Xingyue Bay.

Before the cart drove into the lair, the blue dragon lying on the rocky mountain raised its head.

Annan grabbed a handful of silver coins and introduced to Elimoas: "Let me help you decorate the nest. The advantages of silver coins: first, they are money. Second, they are similar to gold coins. Third, they can also make a pleasant clattering sound." .”

Not long after, Annan, who had coaxed Elimoas well, had just walked out of the lair, and as soon as he returned to the Lord's Mansion, he saw Laila running down the stairs holding the fire raven in her left hand and waving the letter paper with her right hand.

"The eldest sister promised to come!"
