Warhammer in a box

Chapter 89 Negotiation
Everyone dragged their tired bodies out of the sewer. It was still night outside and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Even though the fight inside was going on like this, no one outside heard anything, as if nothing had happened.

Apart from those lowly sewer workers, who else would have the time to come to such a smelly place?

It must be said that the quality of these sewers built by the fleeing dwarves is really good.

"Come on, everyone. We have a big place over there, just enough for you to take a shower. I don't think you would want to have all this excrement on your body!"

Listening to Gurman's words, everyone couldn't help but sniffle.

An indescribable smell coupled with the foul-smelling blood of the ratmen made everyone frown. Several Terran soldiers were also injured and needed treatment.

There were drunkards on the road late at night. Gurman and others quickly ran towards their residence, trying to avoid everyone's eyes as much as possible. Since they already knew that Hallstatt had a deal with the ratmen, they didn't want to meet the subordinates of this powerful man in Nuln on the road.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and everyone successfully returned to the accommodation arranged by West.

"Is this the residence of the Gunnery Academy? You are from the Gunnery Academy." Felix said, looking at the house in front of him.

"Not really. We are guests of the Gunnery Academy. This is the accommodation the academy has arranged for us." Gulman picked up a towel beside him and wiped the blood off his face. The smell of ratman's blood was too strong.

"Guests? Where are you from? It's not easy to be treated as a guest by the Gunnery Academy. Only those real big shots are qualified. And I also want to ask, how did you happen to appear there?" Felix, who had calmed down, also began to feel confused.

Like I said before, who would stay at the sewer entrance fully equipped for no reason?

"We? We are from Terra. I am the current steward of the territory under Count Ludwig. My name is Gurman. Nice to meet you. If you want to know why we are there, it must be God's will. He has discovered the conspiracy of the ratmen."

"Ludwig, is he the new count that's been making the rounds in the empire? The one who killed Malago?"

"If you put it that way, it should be correct," Gurman continued.

"It is rumored that the caravans that visited your place said that you have a brand new faith. Is this the god you are talking about?"

"You're right!" At this point, a pious expression appeared on Gulman's face again.

Felix didn't have any religious beliefs, so he didn't have any problem with those who believed in different gods. There were so many temples of all sizes in the empire, and even if there were any problems, it would be the Sigmar Church's business to worry about.

Soon, everyone finished their shower and sat around a table, but the corpse of the ratman not far away was a bit of an eyesore.

"What should we do next?" Felix spoke first.

"What should I do? What can I do? Let those rats come, I will kill as many as they come. I have been killing rats for most of my life!" Gotrek slammed his axe on the table and poured beer into his mouth.

"Gotrek, I know you are strong, but can you kill all the ratmen by yourself? Didn't you say before that these ratmen could attack from anywhere? What about the other people in the city?" Felix continued. "So what do you want to do? Should we set out now and take the ratmen's bodies directly to the door of the Earl's Mansion?"

After hearing what Gotrek said, Felix was speechless. He even doubted that he could not take the dead rat out. Now Hallschmidt's people might be looking for them everywhere.

"Gentlemen, I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not?" Gulman suddenly interrupted.

"Come and listen to me, little man."

"If nothing goes wrong, Master West of the Gunnery Academy has already introduced us to the Countess. I estimate that the Countess will receive us in the next two days. After all, we have brought something she cannot refuse. We can first let West trust us. With his status, the Countess should be able to trust us a little."

"Something irresistible? You mean your special weapons? No wonder these craftsmen are obsessed with them. If you put it that way, it does seem feasible." Gotrek said jokingly. In previous battles, he had of course discovered the magic of the chainsword and automatic rifle. He had been traveling around the Old World for who knows how many years, but had never seen such things before.

"You're right. I'll get some reinforcements from Terra, just in case there's any danger."

"Guman, let some of my people come over. There are still many dwarves in the city of Nuln. With my name, maybe some dwarf brothers can join us temporarily." Belegar also said.

"Emmmmm, since you are all like this, I will go find my brother. I believe he will believe me too!" Felix continued.

"Brother? Where did your brother come from? How come I don't know him?" Gao Trek said in surprise when he heard this.

"My brother is Otto Jaeger"

"Otto Jaeger? The big businessman in Noon? Felix, I was wondering why you had been to the Golden Leaf Tavern before. I said that under normal circumstances, no one there would let you in even if you were wearing a golden robe! But if you have such a family, why do you want to be a sewer cleaner?" Gotrek said puzzledly.

"I don't want to inherit the family business. I want adventure. I have no talent for business. My brother is enough. And I just want to go on adventures with you, Gotrek. I want to record the story of our adventures." Felix said sincerely.

"I've never seen a person as stupid as you. But it's okay. If your brother can help us, we will be more confident."

Soon everyone reached a consensus. Gotrek and Felix stayed here for the time being. After all, they were the property of the Gunnery Academy, and the secret police did not dare to search at will. Gurman immediately sent people to Terra for help, but Zhang Heng had already spoken directly to Marcus in Terra, asking him to gather the soldiers quickly.

Zhang Heng didn't know how far these ratmen's plans had progressed, and the attack could begin at any time.

Felix put on a robe and walked towards a mansion in the city of Nuln. It was called a mansion, but it was actually a fortress. One could imagine what kind of family was qualified to build such a large house in the city of Nuln.

While Gurman and others were anxiously waiting, West also brought good news the next day.

West knocked on the door and Gurman quickly welcomed him in.

"Gurman, Master Mudifar, the Countess has agreed! She will meet with you the day after tomorrow evening. She expressed her interest in your invention."
