Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty: The Unknown Source of the Rat Man
Unfortunately, the two werewolves had already left, and even if they looked back and saw their companions being killed, they had no intention of coming back.
Winnie regretfully looked away from their backs, turned to the young businessman who had saved her before, bent down and saluted: "Thank you for saving me, young businessman, what can I do to repay you for saving my life?"
kindness?"
"Beautiful lady, how about you give me gold coins or accompany me for a short walk?" The young businessman saw Winnie's vigilant look and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, it means literally, accompany me to the wilderness camp, after all.
It would be too lonely for me to go alone, and having a beautiful lady by my side is the best gift you can give me."
"Okay, let's go together..." Winnie nodded.
Winnie had seen countless playboys and heard countless sweet words, but this little trick could not make her dizzy.
But the other party saved him after all, and just made a small request, and she had no reason to refuse.
And she didn't have many gold coins with her, most of them were hired mercenaries. Besides, she also wanted to go to the camp here to get some information and see if she could contact people from the Tenglong Kingdom.
Because of Catherine, the people in the Tenglong Kingdom are quite friendly to her, and Winnie can get their help as long as it's not too difficult.
When the sun had set, a young businessman named Kilo and Winnie came to a defensive camp built by humans. It was still brightly lit, and there were human warrior handles on the observation deck of the camp.
Seeing two strange humans coming, the sentry on the observation deck immediately passed the news to the people below.
Before Winnie and the other two could walk through the gate, the gate of the camp was suddenly opened, and a group of human soldiers came out.
Seeing that they were a businessman and a young female mercenary, the guard captain concluded that they were survivors who encountered bandits on the road.
The guard captain said: "The entrance fee is one silver coin per person. If you are not invited to work in the taverns and hotels inside, you will have to pay off the entrance fee and the expenses during the working period."
"Stop standing around and go in quickly. There are still some barbarians or bandits running around here at night." Seeing that the two of them didn't move, he quickly urged them.
Walking into the door, Winnie rummaged around and found two silver coins, but this was only enough to pay for the entrance, and food and accommodation were definitely not enough.
Give the silver coins to the guard captain. After receiving the money, they return to their respective posts. As long as they don't cause trouble, they will leave the rest alone.
Businessman Kilo noticed her embarrassment, so he invited: "Miss Winnie, thank you for paying for me. Do you want me to buy you a drink now?"
"This is nothing to save your life. Just drink. I still have some things to do." Winnie declined politely.
"Well, I wish you good luck and hope to see you again..." The young businessman bent down to salute, turned and left with a smile.
After seeing him leave, Winnie looked up and looked at her surroundings. In addition to the taverns and inns the guard captain mentioned, there were also commodity exchanges and a stable.
"Those who want to find out the information can only go to the tavern..." Winnie pressed the dagger on her waist. She knew what kind of people would appear in the tavern. The only thing that could keep her safe was the weapon in her hand.
"By the way, the businessman also went to the tavern just now. If you have anything to do, you can still trouble him." Kilo gave her a good impression just now, which made her feel that he was a fairly righteous person.
The wilderness camp was formed spontaneously by the merchants, but because it was established only a short time ago, the construction here is very simple.
As for why it was established, it was naturally because of the Tenglong Kingdom. Since maritime trade generated huge profits, businessmen who wanted to make money thought of the land route.
They passed through the wasteland and thought they would have to pass through Rat Mountain, but instead they saw a trading camp at the foot of Rat Mountain. The merchants inside were humans, but the guards were indeed rat people.
This makes them confused, but as long as there are Tenglong Kingdom products.
So when the news that they returned and obtained a large amount of money was known to other businessmen, more businessmen went back with gold coins.
So the wilderness camp was built for temporary rest.
Walking into the noisy tavern, the originally lively scene immediately became quiet with the arrival of Winnie.
Although she was dressed as a mercenary and her face was tanned and red, her handsome appearance could not be concealed.
The men in the tavern immediately whistled, and a stout man standing next to Kilo walked directly towards her.
But before he could get in front of Winnie, another big man stopped him from diagonally opposite, and put a machete on the thick man's neck.
His eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "If you dare to be rude to our lady, I will kill you right now."
The stout man saw that they knew each other, and immediately laughed and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, I just want to go to the toilet."
"Nathan..." Winnie said happily after seeing the person clearly.
She didn't expect to see her former right-hand man here.
Nathan let go of the strong man, and came to Winnie with the same joy, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Miss, I am so happy to see you. Where have you been for such a long time?"
Winnie helped him up and said with emotion: "It's a long story. Is there any water? I'm a little thirsty..."
Only then did Nathan see clearly Winnie's miserable appearance, especially since there were blood stains on both of her ears, but they had been cured by Winnie's treatment.
He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please come in. I have water and food here..."
When they came to the wine table inside, there were several warriors with scimitars on their backs. Nathan introduced them, "This is my lord count. She will be your master from now on."
Several scimitar warriors immediately bent down and saluted, making room for a wide space.
Nathan hurriedly brought the food and water to Winnie's side, "Sir, please."
Winnie nodded to these strange warriors, maintaining her arrogance, and even after seeing the food and water she urgently needed, she put the food into her mouth without haste.
Kilo, who was standing at the bar, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then walked towards Winnie holding the wine glass brought by the waiter.
"Hey, beautiful lady, I don't know your name yet?" Kilo showed a gentle smile.
Nathan frowned and looked at him warily, then leaned into Winnie's ear and whispered: "Sir, I just saw that the strong man who wanted to tease you is an acquaintance of him."
Although the sound was very low, it was still very clear to Kilo.
He smiled and was about to explain, but Winnie was one step ahead, "No, they don't know him. He just came here with me, and he saved my life."
"Okay, Lord Earl, we will fight to the death to protect your safety from now on." Nathan bent down and then said to Kilo arrogantly: "The person standing in front of you is Lord Earl of Bei Yamo, Winnie..."
Kilo opened his mouth and smiled and said: "Wow... you really gave me a surprise. I'm glad to meet you, Kilo... Excuse me, can I get a job under you?"
Winnie raised her eyebrows, what a shameless man.
But Winnie still nodded, "Okay."
On the border of the North Asia-Mexico Business Alliance, in a primeval forest.
There is a station with a very different style here, full of orcs, and occasionally some humans.
A minotaur orc with bone chains hanging all over his body stood in the center of the square, raising a bone horn with his right hand and blowing it.
The long voice spread throughout the camp.
All the orcs gathered in the square. Only the humans felt confused, but they still followed the crowd driven by curiosity.
When the tauren saw that people were almost here, they held the totem in their hands and shouted loudly: "The key we have been looking for for ten years is finally back in our hands. Thank you to the beast god for his favor..."
"Thank you to the beast god..." All the orcs around shouted.
Called three times in a row...
Finally, at the tauren's signal, he stopped cheering, then took out the pair of golden earrings from his arms and raised them into the air.
"Ten years ago, we were ready to invade this world, but it was stolen away by human thieves. Fortunately, we finally found the key. Our orc army will definitely return the humiliation they once gave us.
…”
Those humans were stunned for a moment. When they heard that they were going to invade the human country and take revenge on humans, they couldn't stay any longer. Seeing the orcs staring at them with eager eyes all around them, they immediately ran away.
But it was too late, they were immediately torn into pieces by the orcs as they entered the encirclement.
Ignoring the chaos in front of him, the tauren muttered a spell in a low voice, and the earrings in his hand suddenly flew up.
After reaching the air, it immediately disintegrated, and golden powder floated in the air, forming runes one by one.
The entire rune transformed into a huge door frame, a black light curtain appeared from the door frame, and then a large number of orcs rushed out from inside.
In a short time, the trees in the forest were cut down, a large amount of vegetation was burned, countless beast roars sounded one after another, and more green-skinned monsters attacked everywhere...
The origin of the rat-men is unknown. Some say they are products of the laboratories of ancient mages, others say they are a branch of the orcs, and still others say they are an alien species.
Although there are different opinions, the result has not changed at all, that is, the rat people have become a cancer in the entire world.
Their greatest specialty is that they are large in number, more than humans. However, because of their large number and the fact that they are not good at producing, food becomes their biggest problem.
Many Skaven armies that occupy a world will starve to death due to their large numbers.
The Skaven are also a race where order and chaos coexist, and divisions and rebellions within the tribe are endless.
Moreover, the top leaders of the rat people are also happy for this situation to happen, so that no powerful force can threaten their rule.
But recently they have a headache. As one of the most famous scavenger races in the world, the Chaos species have come to their base camp, the Rat Nest, for some unknown reason.
As soon as they arrived at the rat nest, they killed and spread the aura of chaos, infecting more species of chaos.
A sword light flew past, and all the dozens of rat-men left in front of him were immediately cut into two halves.
Looking around, there are rat-man corpses all around, so densely packed that you don’t know where they are diffracted.
