Alien world

Chapter 1347 269. You have allies, and I have allies too
"Drop your weapons!"

Upon seeing this, Captain Ryan raised his sword and shouted.

"I am a Paladin and I will ensure your safety!"

The soldiers, who were already struggling to hold on, finally found a reason and dropped their weapons.

The Freedom Gang members stopped on their own initiative, but the Rat Man was a step slower and then had his head torn off by the Champion Rat, which forced them to stop.

Captain Ryan walked over and inquired about the identity of the dead lord.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Annan and the rat elder said, "Do me a favor."

The rat elder's scarlet eyes fell on him.

"One of our companions was captured by the Overlord. His name is Skeeter. Help me find him, and then we will leave the Broken Mountains."

"You can't leave yet..."

Unexpectedly, the ratman elder took the initiative to keep him.

"why?"

The rat elder asked the guard rat to stand far away and said, "I need your help..."

"Sorry, I don't plan to stay here any longer."

This may be unfair to Wilson and the free people, but Annan cannot joke about the safety of his own people.

"What about the clans behind you? What about the Council of Elders? Why don't you let them send rats over?"

Looking at the hesitant look of the ratman elder, Annan suddenly understood - the Stuen ratman didn't know about this at all!
This makes sense. Why are the ratmen so obedient? The one who delivered the letter was its nephew. The ratmen were beaten by the great lord and fled away in panic. Moreover, they were unusually "obedient"...

Because this was a "private job" that the Ratman Elder secretly took outside!
Should we say that he is worthy of being a Stuhn ratman who is good at playing tricks and disguises? He almost has the demeanor of a human...

"As a partner, don't blame me for not reminding you. I think something is wrong with the Broken Mountains. Don't get too involved..."

Annan’s intuition stems from contradiction.

Ever since I entered the Broken Mountains and encountered the Smart Town, the people and things I encountered were not right. After I found Ilimoyas, I was pushed forward step by step.

It was as if... my every move was controlled, like an actor on stage, who could only act within the framework of the script and passively welcome the arrival of the climax at the end -

But that arrogant lord didn't seem like such a meticulous and wise person.

The most important thing is that after becoming a sorcerer, Annan's intuition has always been very accurate.

Now he seriously suspected that the big man behind Zhiou Town was behind this.

"Annan, I can tell you a secret... there is a gold mine underground."

"I already know."

Annan reacted calmly, looking at the others who had returned, ready to join them.

"I can share the gold mine with you!" the ratman elder hissed anxiously.

"Really?"

Annan stopped.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s gold or not. Annan is mainly interested in the ratman elder... this rat.

It is not easy to find ratmen who are willing to cooperate. If the ratman elder goes too far and dies here, who will he cooperate with? He can't push Maria to the position of elder, right?

It doesn’t seem impossible…

"How much would you like to share?"

The rat elder spit out a number that he had thought of long ago, but it still made him feel painful: "70%."

"Only 70%?"

"You only have 30% of Annam's stuff."

Annan frowned: "I took such a big risk to help you, but I can only take 30%. What's the difference between me and a beggar?" The ratman elder had a new understanding of Annan's greed. He was even more greedy than the most cunning ratman!
"Let's cooperate." Annan said suddenly.

The ratman elder didn’t understand. Wasn’t they talking about cooperation?

"I only want 30%." Annan pointed at himself, then pointed at it: "You can only want 30%."

Then he pointed to Ilimoyas who had fallen back to the ground and said: "The remaining 30% is for Ilimoyas and her tribe."

"I do not understand……"

The ratman elder stared at Annan, wondering what he was up to.

"Even if you and I join forces, we will have to pay a heavy price to defeat the great lord. What's the point of destroying the enemy then?"

"Ilimoyas's people are looking for a new place to settle,"

This was the inspiration that Annan had caught outside the Church of Wealth earlier: unless Liberty City intended to fight a mutually destructive war with the Overlord, he would never be able to take over the Broken Mountains with the Free Blade alone.

It would be better to just use a deus ex machina to crush the rule of Lord Raymond with ease.

No matter what conspiracy or suppression you have, talk to the ancient dragon behind me.

At this point, Annan had already given up his plan to withdraw from the Broken Mountains.

The blue dragon clan, myself, and the Stuhn ratmen... Never mind how uncoordinated this combination is. As long as they stand together, even if Lord Raymond suddenly announces the next day that he is God's chosen one, a saint, it won't cause any trouble.

The rat elder was also tempted, but stared at Annan with his scarlet eyes: "You just introduced Blue Dragon, and you want to take 30%?"

"Because without me, you won't get even one percent." Annan said firmly, "The blue dragons will kick you out. Only when I am here will they be willing to give you one third."

"Besides, who do you plan to let govern the Broken Mountains after the war?"

"Of course it's us..."

"You? A rat-man?"

The original mysterious, sinister, and scheming image of the ratman elder instantly collapsed in Annan's mind. "Are you afraid that the Stuen ratman doesn't know, or do you want to challenge the temper of the Middle-earth people?"

"you can--"

"I can't do that either." Annan interrupted him, "I'm not strong enough to stop those villains from being greedy. We can only find an agent, and what force is more suitable to be in front than the blue dragon tribe?"

The rat elder hesitated.

Even though what Annan said was full of temptation, it did not diminish one fact: its profits went from all to two-thirds at the beginning, and then to one-third. Although it would still make a lot of money, it felt unwilling.

"Think about it first."

Annan did not push it and turned to walk towards his companions.

"Annan, I promised..."

Before he had taken a few steps, he heard the ratman elder's scream of pain from behind him.

Annan smiled triumphantly, turned around and said:
"Okay, I'll go and convince Elimoyas."

Annan walked to the edge of the battlefield, and Captain Ryan came over to him:

"Their lord is Felixman, a distant relative of the Raymond family. After receiving the rat extermination order from the lord, he recruited all the knights, soldiers, and mercenaries in the territory. The intelligence about the ratmen was also told to him by the lord."

"Got it. Explain the situation to the prisoners and let them make their own choice."

Annan walked up to Elimoyas and said, "I have something to tell you."

After Joan walked away sensibly, Annan thought about what to say: "I have a friend who accidentally discovered a huge gold mine. He wanted to share it with a good friend, but he was worried that the friend would take it all for himself..."

"There are gold veins in the Broken Mountains?"

"Uh……"
