Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 721 Civil Unrest

   Obviously, the twin next to the Rat Man is either a nobleman of the Skaven Kingdom or a missionary of a certain church.

After    Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, they came to the table opposite the rat man and sat down, trying to attract the rat man's attention, so as to establish a relationship with the rat man.

  Because Liu Xing and others are still wearing high-end equipment built in the blacksmith village, people who know goods can see at a glance that Liu Xing and others have extraordinary origins, and the rat man is obviously a "person" who knows goods.

   "My friends, you should be the heroes sent by the Empire to conquer Bahamut?" The rat man walked over and said with a smile.

  The human nations on this continent are divided into empires, kingdoms, principalities and other levels because of their size and strength, but there is only one empire.

   Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, we are going to crusade the brave of Bahamut, and you should be a magician from the Scully clan, right?"

   "Yes, I am the one hundred and thirty-eighth prince of the Scully clan - Slag, I'm very happy to meet you brave adults." Slag said respectfully.

   At this time, the two twins also came over and said in unison: "We are missionaries of the Church of Light in the Skaven Kingdom branch - Kewen/Humanke."

   Well, now Liu Xing already admires Zhang Jingxu's ability to name names. So far, among the NPCs with names and surnames, the name Rodriguez is a little more normal.

   As for the scumbag being the one hundred and thirty-eighth prince of the Scully clan, Liu Xing felt that this was also very normal, after all, the reproductive ability of mice is definitely beyond doubt.

   But having said that, this medium-difficulty mod is indeed much simpler than the hard-difficulty mods. As soon as I entered the mission area, I sent NPCs who could solve the problem.

   Soon, Liu Xing and others became friends with the three scumbags, and got a lot of information about the Skaven Kingdom and the Scully clan.

The Skaven Kingdom is currently in turmoil, because there is a duke named Mello proclaiming himself king in his own territory, but because Duke Mello's territory is adjacent to Ruth Zia, the Skaven Kingdom believes that It is very likely that Duke Mello has reached a cooperation with the Plague Clan, so the Skaven Kingdom did not send troops to attack Duke Mello's territory in the first place. As a result, Duke Mello turned against some surrounding minor nobles, resulting in The Skaven kingdom has now lost one-fifth of its control of the land.

  The most important thing is that Duke Melo recently announced that he has begun to believe in Bahamut, and has officially become an alliance with the Plague Clan of Ruszia!

The Skaven Kingdom knew that it had to solve this farce as soon as possible, but because the combined forces of Duke Melo and the Plague Clan were quite powerful, the Skaven Kingdom began to issue a mobilization order to recruit more troops to participate in the battle. The two Kewen brothers were sent to this town to announce the mobilization order.

In addition to being missionaries of the Church of Light, the two brothers Kewen are also the sons of Cowens, the great nobles of the Skaven Kingdom, but because they have no right of inheritance, they were assigned to the Church of Light by Cowens. missionary.

As for why Cowens arranged the two brothers who had no right of inheritance as missionaries, to put it bluntly, it was to prevent the two brothers from coming forward to fight for the right of inheritance in the future. You must know that there is a tradition on this continent, that is to become missionaries The noble children of the scholars will be removed from the family name, because missionaries on this continent are not allowed to marry and have children.

   From this, it can be seen that the two Kewen brothers are abandoned sons in the eyes of their father Cowans.

As for the scum who is the 138th heir to the Scully clan, in fact, it is not much different from the two brothers Kewen, because there are 137 brothers and sisters in front of it who covet history The Curry Clan's throne, so there's no way Slag will become the Scully Clan's next Rat King.

And because the Scully clan has been attached to the Skaven Kingdom, the Scully clan's territory is not too large, so the heirs of the Scully clan after the tenth place have no chance to obtain the territory, so Compared with the ordinary Scully clan ratmen, the scum just bears the name of an heir.

   But because Zha Zha's magical talent is not bad, Z Z Zha has become one of the most potential magicians in the new generation of the Scully clan, so he can get that gem-encrusted staff.

The reason why the scumbag and the Kewen brothers are together is because the scumbag was sent to Cowens as a vassal five years ago, so the scumbag and Kewen, who had not been converted to a missionary at that time, were The two brothers became good friends, after all, they were both abandoned sons who had been abandoned by the family in a way.

Therefore, after the Skaven Kingdom issued the mobilization order, the scum as a vassal of Cowens volunteered to be responsible for recruiting troops on the territory of Covents, and this small town was within the territory of Covents, so The scum and the two brothers Kewen acted together.

   Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Scumbag, how is your recruitment work now?"

Scumbag took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "The situation is not very smooth, because in the war that year, the alliance between the Skaven Kingdom and the Scully clan did not capture Ruszia, so many people We think that our attack this time will still end in failure, so not many people are willing to go to the nearby cities to enlist in the army. Take the town where we are now, for example, our estimated number of recruits is thirty people. As a result, it has been determined that the number of soldiers to be recruited is only seven."

   Liu Xing frowned and said, "Why are only so many people willing to participate in the war? Was the war that year a failure?"

"Yes, in the war that year, our coalition forces only captured the city wall of Ruszia, and then in the next street battle, the coalition forces were defeated by the plague clan, and finally we had to give up and continue the attack. ." Cowan said helplessly.

Scum rubbed the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "The main reason for the defeat in the street battle is actually the cauldron of our Scully clan, because the main members of the Plague clan are from our Scully clan who were originally responsible for the battle. So they are very good at fighting the enemy in narrow terrain, as a result, we Scully clan forgot to tell the Skaven Kingdom, so after our coalition forces easily captured the city wall of Ruszia, I entered the city with confidence and wanted to exterminate the Plague Clan, but I was defeated by the Plague Clan in the street battles..."

   "By the way, the Plague Clan is called the Plague Clan, is it because they are good at spreading the plague?" Yin En on the side suddenly went straight to the road.

After being stunned for a moment, the scumbag shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that when we rat people name a new clan, we will indeed name it according to what we are good at, but I just mentioned one point, the plague clan. The main members of the Clan are basically the warriors of our Scully clan, so we all thought that the Plague Clan would call themselves the Miserable Clan, the Sharptooth Clan or something, but we didn't expect them to call themselves the Plague Clan."

"I know Lord Yin En, as human beings, you will subconsciously think that we rat people are very good at spreading plague, but this is actually a wrong perception, because although we rat people and ordinary mice may have the same ancestors, but in many We parted ways with them years ago, so we Ratmen will not spread the plague for a long time, and even we will die from the plague... Of course, I have to admit that there are still people in our Ratman who are studying the plague of."

"However, in the battle that year, we also deliberately guarded against the possibility that the Plague Clan would use the plague to fight, and as a result, the Plague Clan did not use the plague to fight, so we thought that the Plague Clan was just bluffing, and in these years There have also been many plagues in our Skaven Kingdom and the Scully Clan, but after our detailed investigation, we found that these plagues have nothing to do with the Plague Clan."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing and the others all frowned, because something was wrong with the development of the plot.

   However, Liu Xing and others quickly reacted, which should be the difficulty of this mission.

If the Plague Clan has shown its accomplishments in plague a long time ago, then the Skaven Kingdom and the Scully Clan will now fully guard against the Plague Clan's possible plague attacks, so Liu Xing and others may not be needed. Participate in. Now the Skaven Kingdom and the Scully clan will begin to carry out epidemic prevention work, and the City of Light will naturally join in.

   If it doesn't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster.

   This is probably what the Plague Clan thought.

   "Since it is difficult for the Skaven Kingdom to recruit troops, why didn't the Skaven Kingdom choose to seek help from other forces? It stands to reason that the surrounding countries are very willing to help?" Zhang Wenbing asked.

Wen Ke shrugged and pointed in the direction of the capital of the Skaven Kingdom: "Mrs. Braves, as foreigners, you may not know that the current king of our Skaven Kingdom has just taken the throne for less than a year, so he Since taking the throne, I have always wanted to solve the serious problem of the Plague Clan. After all, although Ruthzia has been completely abandoned, Ruthzia is the old capital of our Skaven Kingdom after all, so people have always been against The Plague Clan occupied Ruszia and expressed dissatisfaction, hoping that the successive kings could retake the Plague Clan."

"Therefore, after the king succeeded to the throne, he repeatedly mentioned that he was going to take back Ruthzia in public, and Mello, who was only a marquis at the time, flattered the king in various ways and expressed his willingness to serve the king. Luo was named a duke by the king half a year ago, and the territory was also arranged next to Ruszia, and the king also allocated a large amount of supplies to Mello, but no one thought that Mello would turn against him some time ago. "

"After this kind of thing happened, the king's prestige was of course a big blow, so this time the king decided to go on a personal expedition to restore his prestige, so the king refused all help from other forces... Of course, I heard that the light The city has sent a group of priests into the Skaven Kingdom under other names, and the king has also recruited a mercenary army from the empire, but that mercenary army was still an army of the empire a week ago."

   Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his brows. He didn't expect that the current king of the Skaven Kingdom would be a headstrong person.

   At this moment, an old man suddenly walked over to Zha Zha and whispered to Zha Zha.

Zha Zha frowned, got up and said: "I'm sorry, brave adults, we have to deal with the recruitment issue now; but if you are willing, please come with us to the Golden Peak City where the Marquis of Cowens is located tomorrow, I believe The Marquis of Covents will be delighted to meet all the brave men."

  Ding Kun nodded and said, "Of course, we just happen to be going to Jinfeng City."

After the scum and the others left the inn, Liu Xing said: "It seems that we came at the right time, but I am quite worried about the king of the Skaven Kingdom. If he is a real scumbag, then we may There's going to be trouble."

Yin En looked at the side and found that there was no one around, and said with confidence: "As the saying goes - one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. If the king is really a scumbag, then our troubles are not ordinary. , because judging from the information provided by the scumbags and the others, this time the king intends to leave the whole family together, so if the coalition forces are defeated, the Duke of Merlo will definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the entire Skaven Kingdom will be destroyed by then. It's going to be a mess."

Ding Kun nodded and said affirmatively: "If the coalition forces are defeated, then the Skaven Kingdom is likely to be occupied by Duke Mello's rebels, and then the Skaven Kingdom will become a Bahamut believer. Base camp, and then they may directly send troops to capture Guangming City!"

   If it is just the plague, Liu Xing and others have a chance to find a solution, but if the military disaster is added, then Liu Xing and others are really useless.

"It seems that we have to find a way to win the coalition forces, or at least let the coalition forces retreat, otherwise our mission will definitely not go on." Liu Xing said with a frown, "It seems that we must meet as soon as possible. King, and then get some command from him."

  Ding Kun laughed and said, "Let me take care of this issue. I definitely have a way to convince the king to reuse ours. After all, Zhang Jingxu's title of hero is very useful."

   said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive.

   At this time, Zhang Jingxu came to the living room with a red stone painted by himself, and said solemnly: "I just received a message from the emperor, he wants us to meet the king of the Skaven Kingdom as soon as possible."
