Chapter 808 39. All awards belong to me
"...I gave Annan the mouse ears, and he smuggled you out."

Jerry lowered his head, hiding all the emotions in his heart.

Class is deeply ingrained in the clan. Even the most despicable and greedy slave rat will spare no effort to save a seriously injured champion rat, even if it sacrifices itself... This is an instinct engraved in their blood.

If the gray-haired rat priest said he was hungry, he would cut off his own flesh and blood without hesitation.

"My name is Philos."

Jerry looked up in surprise.

Naturally so is the name.

Just like no slave rat knows Jerry's name, no champion rat knows the gray fur rat's name.

Now Jerry knew the name of the gray rat priest.

The gray-haired rat priest moved his slender legs and looked at the silent hive in the distance.

"Let's go back and take away the Rat Mother and the Craftsman."

We still need to encourage Liberty City to develop alchemy...

Anyway, whoever gets the mountain essence will enhance the strength of the Hellfire Legion.

"But the human thing knows about the hive..."

"Then give it to them and let them decide their own distribution."

……

Hellfire has already given rewards once, and Fermi directly named ten names: "But three of them are already centurions..."

"One more thing, let's ask other forces what they got. If there is anything we need, I will come over and ask for it."

Or the mountain essence is greatly reduced...

Their physiques gradually increased, but the number of soldiers who became professionals slowed down. After the most promising soldiers became professionals in the first four months, the rest had no talent and could only rely on hard work to change their destiny. soldiers.

If only warriors had corresponding magical hearts...

Annan returned to the station, passed by the soldiers who puffed up their chests, and asked the centurion to call Femi.

The gray-haired rat priest turned back: "If humans break in, Annan will betray you. If not... the clan will have a chance to corrupt Annan."

Annan thought that the second place was the essence of the mountains, and the third place should not be much worse.

Jerry raised his head in confusion.

But Annan didn’t even know where to start developing it.

The gray-haired rat priest under the silver moon made an exception and explained: "This is an opportunity to test Annan."

Fermi, who was still wearing plate armor during the break, came over. Annan handed him ten pieces of the essence of the mountains and asked Fermi to distribute them as rewards to the ten warriors with the best performance during the hunt.

It's not like Annan has never coveted the privately brewed mountain essence. As long as he can reduce the cost of a mountain essence to a few hundred gold coins, he can grit his teeth and spend a few years converting all the members of the Hellfire Legion into warriors.

Even during the days of hunting, the soldiers did not stop breathing.

"Corrupted Annan stuff..."

Fermi asked the centurion to ask, but the centurion rode a white dragon around the Great Wall of the North. As soon as he came back, Fermi beat him up and scolded him for being stupid - he obviously knew it by asking at the Black Watch station, but he actually asked everyone one by one. other forces.

The centurion left with the punishment of cleaning the toilet, and Femi knocked on Annan's door to report the news.

One year of tax relief? Liberty City is not a vassal of the empire and does not have to pay taxes; fifty sets of imperial standard armor? It's of no use. Hellfire's plate armor is heavy and hard enough for non-professional soldiers to use it; the Empire sends garrison troops? It seems that this kind of reward cannot be traded; the Imperial Commendation Order...why is there such a perfunctory reward? Oh, this is the last one. But the last one is actually not the last one - the rewards of the hunting plan are not available to everyone, there are only twenty, and they are basically divided equally by the coalition forces led by Annan.

Annan recovered 19 of the 30 coalition armies. Three of the remaining nine were destroyed by the Rat Men, four were left alive, and only two escaped all the way back to the Great Wall of the North.

However, as members of the hunting plan, they still have a participation reward - the reward is that they will not be liquidated.

They, the trespassers, deserters, and arrogants who were supposed to be tried, not only saved their lives, but also gained a reputation for actively resisting rats. Why are they not considered rewards?

There are not many rewards in the top twenty that Annan is interested in. Only the third to fifth place are of interest to Annan: 100 ounces of mithril for the third place, ten seven-ring magic scrolls for the fourth place, and a magic scroll for the fifth place. Bag of gems.

Annan asked Fermi to find the third and fourth people: "Ask them if they are willing to sell something to us."

The answer is of course yes.

The rewards given by the empire were national rewards, but the money sold to Annan would go into their own pockets - they even gave the "kind-hearted" Annan some discounts.

The magic scroll is used to fill Liberty City's resistance to enemies, and Mithril Annan is given to Lilith. This magical metal is a natural medium for casting spells, just what the Mage Tower needs.

Next, the Great Wall of the North experienced a period of peace for a few days. The empire seems to have forgotten that there is a rat nest in the mountains to the north. After the continuous gloomy weather, the first ray of sunshine pierced the dark clouds. Greenery emerges from the devastated earth and is covered with new clothes...

……

"Great victory in the north! Millions of ratmen were killed in the hunting operation, and Liberty City won the first prize!" The part-time newspaper boy at the orphanage ran through the streets waving a magic newspaper.

The customer who bought the "Voice of Freedom" held the newspaper, and Evelin's voice came out from inside: "...The Hellfire Legion, the Fourth Legion and the Empire's Black Watch Legion jointly defeated the vanguard of the McKean clan and annihilated them on the Great Wall. to the north."

My family knows their own affairs, so "Voice of Freedom" didn't mention the hunting rankings and Mouse Ears at all. It just said that Liberty City and the Empire worked together to repel the Skaven.

"The Empire" didn't mention it, but it mentioned in the content that the coalition forces led by Black Watch and Annan defended the enemy outside the Great Wall, and the grand occasion when more than 10 million rat ears were transported to the Montreal Mountains.

And soon Olmedo also knew about some deeper inside stories.

"Should we also form our own 'Skeleton Edge'?"

"Is it necessary?" Annan asked.

"The Skeleton Edge is far...larger than you think." Olmedo used "huge" to describe them. "Eavesdropping, assassination, and instigating rebellion... these are all their jobs. They are responsible for the stability around the empire... and so are the nobles who were hanged."

"we do not need."

Annan thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "We don't have the foundation of the empire. It takes far more effort to cultivate a qualified secret organization than imagined... You should know better than me. And do you still remember, we want to become the leader of Middle-earth?" Wilhelm'.

"What do you mean?"

Annan said with deep meaning: "There should be no dark corners in Wilhelm."

The Empire needs people to be afraid of it, the Free Cities don't.

Olmedo asked others: "When are you going to come back?"

"Is there anything going on at home?"

"No, but have you ever heard of a city lord who runs around outside all day?"

"I know."

"Which one?"

"The Lord of Liberty City."
