Chapter 1567 Chapter 201. Boil the elves in warm water

"I know your lord has a deal with the ratmen..."

When she arrived, she saw many rat people walking around in Liberty City, and there was even a rat person purchasing goods. It was unbelievable.

Jack was even more embarrassed: "It's not this, it's..."

He had no choice but to reveal that the ratman discovered by the scouts was a one-eared ratman, and the reason why he had one ear could be traced back to the last time the coalition forces...

After saying that they cooperated with the ratmen to hunt millions of rat ears in order to rank, the elf instructor frowned deeply at first, but then relaxed his brows.

"What a clever lord."

Huh? You don't mind this? When did the elf become so easy to talk to?
Seeing the elf instructor's eyes flickering, Jack understood. It's not that the elves are easy to talk to, but that they are easy to talk to Lord Annan.

In this way, it is possible to achieve Lord Annan's request...

The rat man with broken ears was brought in soon, and Jack did not avoid the elf instructor and asked, "Can you communicate?"

The rat man with broken ears roared in a strange rat language, only occasionally uttering the word "human thing".

"Do you know us?"

Jack spoke in proper Skaven.

The rat man with broken ears was stunned: "How could a human being…"

Good, it communicates.

As for why Jack could speak Ratman...it was because he went to the Mage Tower to receive training.

"Want to make another deal?"

Jack pointed at its missing ear and asked. The broken-eared rat man's scarlet eyes lit up - it would never forget that day last year when it exchanged only one ear for a basket of rotten meat.

Jack was also sighing. The average lifespan of ratmen was unlikely to exceed ten years. The slave rats were even worse off, with most of them not surviving more than a year.

You know, rat people are considered "adults" at one month old and are able to reproduce.

Their life span is so short that they are born in the spring and never see the winter.

This mouse with a broken ear is not only a "familiar mouse", but it also lived for at least a year, which is quite impressive.

The rat man with the broken ears asked, "Human stuff... still want ears?"

"No, this time it's another kind." Jack waved to the adjutant, took his share of rations, opened it and handed it to the rat man: "You have to tell your people that there are humans here, let them come over. For every one hundred... one thousand rat men that come over, I will give you a bag of this."

It's not that Jack is stingy, it's just that there are too many ratmen.

"Do not……"

"don't want?"

"not enough……"

After some bargaining, the reward was changed to one serving of food for every hundred ratmen lured.

Jack gave it five bags in advance as an advance payment. As for why he only gave it five bags, the broken-eared rat man could not eat the first bag, and the extra bag was used as bait to attract the rats.

He was not afraid that the rat man with the broken ears would run away. The rat man was just not smart but not stupid. He could always tell the difference between one meal and another.

If you're really stupid enough to run away... you'll just lose five rations.

"what's your name?"

"No, name."

"Then you're called Broken Ears."

Jack named him after his good friend, Broken Tooth.

After driving away Broken Ear, Jack sent a team to secretly follow it, monitor and protect it, and left some people here to set traps, while others explored the east and west sides to clear out the surrounding rats first. The elf team also split up and followed them.

The elves' advantage is in the forest, but outside the forest, they are still excellent rangers, both in terms of their agility and accuracy.

Jack was a little unwilling to admit defeat. Although the elves were powerful, his soldiers were no pushovers either. It was just that now was not the opportunity to compare.

The most urgent thing is the instructions of the rat people and Annan.

Jack lowered his voice: "Be good to the elves, if I find out who let the cat out of the bag——"

"What did you let slip?"

Instructor Findola Yinlu walked over with her long legs.

"Uh……"

Jack suddenly had an idea: "Lord Annan said that the elves are here to help, and he doesn't want you to be too tired, but he is also worried that being so direct will make you feel resentful, so he told me to do it quietly and never get caught."

The sharpness in Findola Yinlu's eyes was melting visibly.

……

"Two pieces of good news."

Annan walked into the office with the news sent back from the front. "Remember when we were in the coalition, we bought rat ears to improve our ranking? Jack encountered a rat with a broken ear, and bribed it to help us lure the ratmen into the trap."

"That's not bad."

Olmedo said without even looking up: "You just said two pieces of good news, what about the other one?"

"Jack said the elves are very attentive, so there's a good chance they'll take my last name!"

Olmedo finally looked up from his heavy official duties: "You want to marry five at once?"

"What are you talking about? I'm just a child!"

She looked Annan up and down with an offended look: "Indeed."

Before Annan got angry, Olmedo asked, "Assuming they agree to become citizens of Free City...how do you plan to resolve the thousand-year conflict between the elves and the dark elves?"

It’s not quite accurate to say it’s a blood feud. Dark elves are also elves, but their cognition has been distorted by the Spider Queen Rose.

The Church of the Spider Queen is more like a heresy, so the elves will be ruthless when they find traces of dark elves, and the dark elves will do the same when they find elves - but most of the time, they will take the elves back to torture, train, and corrupt them into dark elves.

"So we have to boil the frogs in warm water and let them accept everything in Liberty City little by little."

"It's like if we announce that the Skaven will join the Free City, the citizens will definitely not accept it. But we start with the dwarves, orcs, goblins and other foreign races, and wait until the citizens' acceptance gradually increases before announcing the Skaven's joining... The same goes for the elves."

If warm water can't boil the elves, Annan can still use the broken window theory.

Do you think the Dark Elves are heretics? Then if I bring out the Otherworldly Tree, will the Dark Elves look pretty?
"You really do what you preach," Olmedo said unhappily.

Annan sighed, empathizing with him, "It's just that I won't be bothered by prejudice. The most I've ever seen is..."

"Stop, I'm tired of listening to it." Olmedo raised his hand to show his refusal.

"Well... there are good guys and bad guys everywhere. It's just a matter of proportion. To be frank, there are more good ratmen than paladins among the ratmen."

To put it in the least, there are hundreds of billions of ratmen in the Thirteen Clans of Ratmen. Even if there is only one good rat among the hundred million ratmen, there are only a few thousand of them. Are there thousands of Paladins?
"That makes sense, but don't let the Paladin hear it."

They are a group of stubborn guys, no less stubborn than the elves.

Speaking of elves, Olmedo couldn't help but feel sorry for the elves in the forests and mountains.

Working for Annan would be fine, but they not only had to accept the heresy of the Spider Queen Church in Liberty City, but also the outright heresy of the Otherworld Tree...

What's the difference between this and joining the dark elves?
