Alien world

Chapter 1618 Chapter 251. The Woman Standing Behind Annan

As for encountering a suspected projection of the Spider Queen in the subspace and being thrown out by "Him", Fermi guessed that it had something to do with his own lord.

However, in the eyes of the Blackwatch soldiers, the Spider Queen's kindness was evidence of her making peace with the demons and ratmen, and throwing them out to them to deal with. The magic-forbidden area prepared in advance was proof of this.

The incomplete information led to serious misunderstandings.

"Wrong, that's not the case." Adjutant Lockeron said decisively: "How could the Spider Queen possibly cooperate with them?"

Fermi had the same idea. He had followed Annan in Xingyue Bay and had seen with his own eyes Annan and the little spider who was the incarnation of the Spider Queen playing happily on the grass. With that experience, he had no reason to help the rat people.

They believed that Lord Annan was omnipotent, even though Spider Queen Rose was a well-known traitor in many dimensions.

And if the Far North was a prepared place of exile, the Skaven would not have waited until now to find the Black Watch.

So... they stayed where they were.

Fermi thought of a way to confirm the situation by observing the next movements of the ratmen and demons.

The first reaction: The rat people simply discovered that a group of humans suddenly appeared in the hinterland, and sent out rats to capture them and interrogate them.

The second reaction: The ratmen and demons were secretly carrying out some conspiracy in the Far North, and their appearance disturbed them, so they were killed on the spot in order to keep the secret.

The last and worst possibility is that the demons and ratmen are sure that the Blackwatch is here. They come out in full force and are determined to crush the Blackwatch and its reinforcements here.

Fermi ordered a defense line to be built on the spot.

Adjutant Lockran organized the content and handed it to the scouts, asking them to send the message back to the outpost first.

Lord Annan might be very interested in news about the Spider Queen.

"Do you have any wounded? Send them back to us," Fermi asked Stevens, who was the clerk and the highest-ranking survivor.

But he's still elite.

The Black Watch Corps is composed of elites, and most of the officers are masters. Unfortunately, the more powerful the existence, the more severe the erosion of the warp, especially the spellcasters, whose brains exploded and countless people went crazy.

Stevens counted out eight wounded men who were unable to move on their own and sent them away by boat.

He looked out toward the coast. The scarlet dawn that had been like the end of the world had been swallowed up by lead-gray clouds. The thick dark clouds were breeding purple thunderstorms among the "snow mountains", and red magma was gushing out violently.

The beach was littered with craters and residual smoke, and the melted ice and snow had recondensed.

It was impossible to make a fire on the ice, so the Black Watch soldiers ran to the beach and built a fire on the black boulder, greedily absorbing the warmth that they had not touched in the past few days, and recovering their condition.

The Hellfire soldiers spread large amounts of caltrops on the beach to deal with warhorses, which were also effective against the ratmen - it was enough to injure the ratmen on the battlefield, and their companions would kill them.

"Are you going to fight?"

After receiving a positive answer, Stevens said: "We can fight, too. Please give us armor and weapons."

Fermi nodded. Hellfire needed their help: "I'll give you another hour to rest."

Stevens didn't go to rest. He followed Fermi, as if he had an occupational disease, and wanted to record the Hellfire Legion.

Fermi allowed him to follow him and even asked him to watch carefully.

"Can your weapons be used in the forbidden magic area?" Stevens looked curiously at the magic muskets and cannons that had just shown their power in the battle.

It is much more powerful than a year ago, and the key is that it can ignore forbidden magic. But the sound and light it emits seem like magic... Is it a dwarf craft?

"It was improved before coming here." Or it should be said that it has "degenerated". The new magic muskets and cannons are ignited by magic. This time, like the reconnaissance aircraft, the old muskets and cannons' ignition and ignition devices have been replaced.

The good thing is that it can ignore the environment, but the bad thing is that the failure rate is high. However, in addition to a main weapon, each soldier has two spare ones.

besides……

Fermi turned his head and looked at the barrels of wine piled on top, which were still being delivered in an endless stream via small boats.

It's filled with distilled alcohol, and one barrel is enough to turn all the ratmen within a ten-meter radius into roasted rats.

The shells only left a row of broken flesh, which could be quickly replaced. And each barrel of alcohol was equivalent to a fire wall, which could make the fire rats unable to distinguish between friend and foe and run around...

The defensive position was still chosen on the ice. Hellfire was good at positional warfare, and standing firm was not the first factor for musketeers. The slippery ice surface did not affect them, but it could affect ratmen, and ratmen could not attack by burrowing into the ground - although ratmen on the frozen soil on land could not burrow into holes.

And there is the sea behind them, which cannot stop them from retreating at any time.

Five blue dragons plus sixty black watch soldiers, as long as they are not the last kind, they can hold on until Kyrian returns.

……

knock knock knock.

"Come in."

The messenger walked into the map room with an envelope. "Master Annan, Master Olmedo, a letter from Commander Fermi."

Olmedo, who was standing in front of the sand table, took it, looked at it for a few seconds, and handed it to Lilith. Lilith glanced at it and handed it to Annan.

"No need to show it to me..." Annan also stood next to the sand table, waiting for Lilith to make the situation concrete.

"Are you sure? There's something in the letter that interests you." Olmedo raised an eyebrow.

"Could it be that in addition to the Black Watch Legion, they have also found traces of the White Dragon?"

Annan said casually, taking the letter.

Annan was not surprised to see the Blackwatch Corps found. He frowned when he saw that there were only a few dozen Blackwatch Corps members left, but he relaxed a little when he saw that Albek and the others were still hiding in the mountains.

But it’s still not very good news…

Annan did think that the Black Watch might have suffered heavy losses, but the news that "at least four-fifths of the troops were lost, and the fate of the remaining quarter was unknown" not only made him feel relieved, but was perhaps not as relieved as the news that "let them continue to disappear."

When Annan saw the Black Watch soldier describe encountering the Spider Queen's projection in the warp, his attention was completely drawn.

They are back! ?

The Warp... If they can send the Blackwatch back, they can come back at any time.

But why would the Spider Queen save a group of humans... No, She did it for me!
Scanning the conversation between Albek and the Spider Queen's projection, he explicitly mentioned himself.

With the news about Spider-Man and the certainty that He was on his side, Annan became more confident and even wanted to hug Moses and Aaliyah and give them a big kiss.

This time I have enough capital to negotiate with the Spider Queen Church. Even the mistress of your faith is on my side, so why hesitate? Not surrendering is betrayal!
I can now take risks and try things that I didn't dare to do before: let Mo Xi and Aaliyah become my breakthrough points.

At that time, they will become the nails that Annan drives into the tribe behind him, just like Elimoas and Maria.

Then Annan thought that his breakthrough was either female or mother, so it was no wonder that others were prejudiced...
