A strange world

Chapter 1336 Chapter 258. Underground

"We don't have much food either."

Wilson came back from the store, wrapped in wind and snow.

The situation is not optimistic.

Compared with being driven into the mountains under heavy snow and not much food left, the fact that the development of the free people suffered a devastating blow was what made them feel the most heavy.

This means that their ideals have no room to fight back against the brutal suppression of the lords.

"It's not that bad. Many people are scattered and hiding. They are just forced to lose contact."

Compared to Wilson's pessimism, Small, who has experienced a lot, is more mature and more determined.

The reaction speed of the lords was too fast, which was completely different from the slowness of the Kingdom of Ruikaner. Therefore, when the knights loyal to the lords launched a charge, the free people who lacked intelligence were completely unable to react in time.

"We alone are no match for those knights."

Wilson crouched in front of the crackling fire and stretched out his hands to warm himself.

Therefore, in addition to letting free people train, they also need to let those professionals join them.

The latter, Little Small, had a lot of experience, but was caught off guard by the lord, while the former... no matter letting people master knowledge or power, he had to continue day and night.

Thinking of this, Xiao Simo suddenly realized something.

Lord Annan, you asked the people of Free City to learn literacy, establish a college, and publicize the breathing method, is it because you have seen these things a long time ago...

As if he heard the call, a figure suddenly walked in outside the cave.

"Huh, I almost couldn't find you... but you're so well hidden, I think the hunting dogs outside won't be able to find you either."

Wilson stood up nervously. Instead of relaxing when he saw the person coming in, he became even more nervous.

"Master Annan, why are you here?" Little Small stood up in surprise.

"Everything is going well with Joan, I'll come here to take a look." Annan lifted his hood and showed a smile that is very familiar to people in Liberty City: "Is there any use to get my place?"

Annan is here, and there is hope.

No matter Little Small, Wilson, or other people in the cave who had only heard Annan's name, they all felt obviously relieved.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

All his efforts were in vain overnight, and Little Small felt very guilty.

"It doesn't matter. Even for a general, the first sound he makes when he is born is a cry, not an order."

For people like Xiao Small, setbacks equal growth.

As for the growth of Ilimayas... Annan declined to comment.

He also felt that this was inappropriate, but Ilimoyas was just a dragon, and human values ​​​​should not be used to restrain a dragon.

"What are you going to do next?"

Annan motioned for them all to sit down, and he also sat next to the fire.

"The lords are keeping a close eye on the coal mines, and I plan to focus on the villages and towns and those in power who agree with our ideas."

It’s just that this is destined to take a long time and requires persistent influence. No revolution can be completed in just a few months - the Kingdom of Rekaner is a special case.

The kingdom is like a crumbling pillar of sand that will spontaneously collapse from bottom to top with just one external force.

As for the Broken Mountains...the powerful class firmly holds power in their own hands, and their interests keep them together. It is difficult for civilians without power to make waves.

Annan was also thinking.

He originally prepared two endings for the people of the Broken Mountains:

Support Killian to take power, stabilize the country's power, and then change the status quo from the inside out.

Or let the people be the masters of the country, but the price is that a large number of people, especially the nobles, will die. It is easy for the outside world to regard themselves as messengers spreading war.

The former ended because of Killian's death, the latter needed time, and what they lacked most now was time.

Joan's side is already preparing to start a fight with the Oyster Gang, but Xiao Smo and the others can't continue to slowly develop members.

It seems that it is not impossible... They are in the open and the dark, Joan expands his territory, and Little Small spreads his ideas.

"Lord Annan, we need supplies." Little Small took the opportunity to reveal all the difficulties.

"Don't worry, that's why I'm here." Annan was about to tell him his thoughts when a bloody figure stumbled out of the depths of the cave.

Annan stood up: "You haven't searched this place?"

Wilson said with the same consternation: "They are the ones sent to search the abandoned mines."

The figure fell to the ground, twitching and unable to get up. Annan rushed forward and tore open the magic scroll to heal his injuries.

"Who hurt you?"

His body had beast-like claw scars and fine bite marks, even the bones were exposed, which was extremely miserable.

"Rat...rat man..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling and creaking sound from the depths of the cave, and then a swarm of rats and a pair of scarlet eyes emerged.

The remaining free folk who had weapons grasped their weapons, and those who had no weapons picked up stones.

"Don't do it!"

Annan shouted to stop them, and then they were surprised to see Annan making a rat-like sound.

"I am Annan Reeves, a friend of your Stuuns."

Annan's rat language had some effect. The surging rats stopped in place, and those scarlet eyes that were about the same height as Annan stared at Annan: "Human things...all will die...feed them to the children!"

The rat man who was commanding the rats screamed, and just as the rat tide was about to attack, a black mole suddenly jumped out and stood upright between them.

"Friend! Strogger! Friend! Strogger!"

It screamed alternately in Common and Skaven.

Annan still remembers it, the fat mole that sent him a message: "Why are you here?"

"dig……"

"What to dig for?"

…

Raymond Family, Underground.

Lord Raymond walking in the cave was like a huge stone, blocking the entire cave tightly.

The sides of his body were almost all the way against the rock wall. After a few dozen seconds, he came to a spacious underground cavity.

Mrs. Melanie thought she controlled the entire Raymond family and could even compete with the big lord, but she never knew there was such a large area underground under the family.

In the center of the underground cavity, there stood a huge irregular metal fragment that looked like it had fallen off from something huge.

If Annan had seen it, he would have been shocked that there was such a large piece of orichalcum, and he would have pounced on it and kissed and bit it.

With the arrival of Lord Raymond, the corners of the orichalcum fragments lit up with obscure lines.

"Those rats are getting closer and closer to my treasure..."

Raymond, who is known as arrogant and irritable to the outside world, is lying on the ground with a face full of piety and fanaticism: "Great lady, please give me some more time. After I use Annan to get rid of all outsiders and traitors, and take back my rights, I will The entire golden mountain range is dedicated to you..."

The lines flickered, and a name echoed throughout the underground cavity.

"Annan..."
