Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 721 Civil strife

Obviously, the twins next to the rat man were either nobles of the Skaven Kingdom or missionaries of a certain church.

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

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

"Dear friends, you should be the brave men sent by the empire to defeat Bahamut, right?" The rat man came over and said with a smile.

The human countries 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 the brave men who are going to defeat Bahamut, and you should be the magician from the Skry clan, right?"

"Yes, I am Zhazha, the one hundred and thirty-eighth prince of the Skry clan. I am very happy to meet all the brave men." Zhazha said respectfully.

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

Well, now Liu Xing already admires Zhang Jingxu's naming ability. Among the NPCs with names so far, Rodriguez is the only one with a more normal name.

As for Zhazha being the 138th prince of the Skulli clan, Liu Xing felt that this was very normal. After all, there was no doubt about the reproductive ability of rats.

But having said that, this medium-difficulty module is indeed much simpler than the difficult-difficulty module. Just after entering the mission area, NPCs who can solve the problem are sent over.

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

The Kingdom of Skaven is currently in turmoil because a Duke named Mero has proclaimed himself king in his territory. However, because Duke Mero's territory is adjacent to Luthia, the Kingdom of Skaven believes that Duke Merlot most likely reached cooperation with the Plague Clan, so the Skaven Kingdom did not immediately send troops to attack Duke Merlot's territory. As a result, Duke Merlot instigated some of the surrounding minor nobles to rebel, resulting in The Kingdom of Skaven has now lost control of one-fifth of its territory.

Most importantly, Duke Mero recently announced that he has begun to believe in Bahamut and has officially become an alliance with Ruth Zia's Plague Clan!

The Kingdom of Skaven knew that it had to resolve this farce as soon as possible. However, because the alliance between Duke Mero and the Plague Clan was quite powerful, the Kingdom of Skaven began to issue mobilization orders to recruit more troops to participate in the battle. The two brothers Kewen were sent to this town to announce the mobilization order.

In addition to being missionaries of the Church of Light, the two brothers Covin are also the sons of Cowens, a great nobleman of the Kingdom of Skaven. However, because they have no inheritance rights, they were arranged by Cowens to serve in the Church of Light. missionary.

As for why Cowens arranged the two Covin brothers who had no inheritance rights as missionaries, to put it bluntly, it was to prevent the two Covin brothers from standing up to fight for inheritance rights in the future. You must know that there is a tradition on this continent, and that is to become missionaries. Noble children of scholars will be expelled from their families, because missionaries on this continent are not allowed to get married and have children.

It can be seen from this that the two Covin brothers are already abandoned sons in the eyes of their father Covins.

As for Zha Zha, who is the 138th heir of the Skull clan, he is actually not much different from the two brothers Kewen, because there are 137 brothers and sisters in front of him who covet the history. The throne of the Skry clan, so it is impossible for Zha Zha to become the next Rat King of the Skry clan.

And because the Skary clan is already attached to the Kingdom of Skaven, the territory of the Skry clan is not too large. Therefore, the heirs of the Skry clan after the tenth rank have no chance to obtain the territory, so Compared with the ordinary ratmen of the Skry clan, Zhazha only has the name of an heir.

However, because Zhazha's magic talent is pretty good, Zhazha has become one of the most potential magicians in the new generation of the Skry clan, so he was able to get the gem-encrusted staff.

The reason why Zhazha is with the two brothers Kewen is because Zhazha was sent to serve as a vassal under Cowens five years ago, so Zhazha and Kewen, who had not been transferred to missionaries at that time, The two brothers became good friends, after all, from a certain perspective, they were both abandoned by their families.

Therefore, after the Kingdom of Skaven issued a mobilization order, Zhazha, a vassal of Cowens, volunteered to recruit troops in Cowens' territory, and this town was within Cowens' territory, so Zhazha and the two brothers Kewen took action together.

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

Zhazha took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "The situation was not going well, because in the war that year, the coalition forces of the Skaven Kingdom and the Skry clan did not capture Luszia, so many people We believe that our attack this time will still end in failure, so not many people are willing to go to nearby cities to enlist in the army. Take the town where we are now as an example. Our expected number of recruits is thirty. As a result, only seven soldiers have been confirmed to be recruited so far.”

Liu Xing frowned and said, "Why are there so few people willing to join the war? Was the war that year a failure?"

"That's right, in that war that year, our coalition forces only captured the city wall of Luszia. Then in the subsequent street battles, the coalition forces were defeated by the Plague Clan. In the end, they had no choice but to give up and continue the attack. ." Ke Wen said helplessly.

Zhazha touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "The main reason for the defeat in the street battle is actually our Skuli clan's fault, because the main members of the Plague clan are from our Skuli clan who were originally responsible for fighting. family, so they are very good at fighting enemies in narrow terrain. As a result, our Skry clan forgot to inform the Skaven Kingdom about this matter, so after our coalition forces easily captured the city wall of Luthia, So I confidently entered the city to wipe out the Plague Clan, but was defeated by the Plague Clan in street battles..."

"By the way, Zhazha, is the reason why the Plague Clan is called the Plague Clan because they are good at spreading plague?" Yin En suddenly said directly.

After Zhazha was stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Logically speaking, when we rat people name a new clan, we will indeed name it according to what we are good at, but I also mentioned something just now, the Plague Clan The main members are basically the warriors of our Skryre clan, so we all thought that the Plague Clan would call themselves the Claw Claw, the Sharp Teeth Clan or something like that at the time, but we didn’t expect that they would call themselves the Plague Clan.”

"I know Master Yin En, as humans, 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 rats may have the same ancestors, in many places We parted ways with them years ago, so we, the rat-men, would not have spread the plague, and we would even die from the plague... Of course, I have to admit that there are still some people in our rat-men who are studying the plague. of."

"However, in that battle that year, we also deliberately guarded against the possibility that the Plague Clan would use the plague to fight. 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 been many plagues in the Skaven Kingdom and the Skry Clan, but after our detailed investigation, we found that these plagues have nothing to do with the Plague Clan."

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

However, Liu Xing and others quickly realized that this should be the difficulty of this mission.

If the Plague Clan had shown its expertise in plague a long time ago, then the current Skaven Kingdom and the Skryre Clan would be fully prepared to defend themselves against possible plague attacks by the Plague Clan, so Liu Xing and others might not need help. Participate, now the Skaven Kingdom and the Skryre clan will start to carry out epidemic prevention work, and the City of Light will naturally join them when the time comes.

If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.

This may be what the Plague Clan has in mind.

"Since it is now difficult for the Kingdom of Skaven to recruit troops, why didn't the Kingdom of Skaven choose to seek help from other forces? Logically speaking, the surrounding countries are very willing to help, right?" Zhang Wenbing asked.

Wenke shrugged, pointed in the direction of the capital of the Kingdom of Skaven and said: "Dear brave men, as foreigners, you may not know that our current king of the Kingdom of Skaven has only succeeded to the throne for less than a year, so he Ever since he took the throne, he has been trying to solve the major problem of the Plague Clan. After all, although Luziya has been completely abandoned, Luziya is the old capital of our Kingdom of Skaven after all, so there have always been people who are interested in it. The Plague Clan occupied Luthia and expressed dissatisfaction, hoping that successive kings could regain the Plague Clan.”

"Therefore, after the king succeeded to the throne, he mentioned in public many times that he was preparing to recapture Luzia. Merlot, who was still just a marquis at the time, flattered the king in various ways and expressed his willingness to do whatever he could for the king. Therefore, Merlot Luo was made a duke by the king half a year ago, and his territory was arranged next to Luzia's. The king also allocated a large amount of supplies to Mero. As a result, no one expected that Mero would rebel like this some time ago. "

"After this happened, the king's prestige was of course greatly damaged, so this time the king decided to go on a personal expedition to restore his reputation. Therefore, the king refused all help from other forces... Of course, I heard that Guangming The city has sent a group of priests to enter 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 active army of the empire a week ago."

Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. 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 up to Zha Zha and whispered to Zha Zha.

Zhazha frowned, stood up and said goodbye: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, we have to deal with the recruitment issue now; but if you are willing, please come with us to Jinfeng City where Marquis Cowens is located tomorrow, I believe Marquis Cowens will be happy to meet all the brave lords."

Ding Kun nodded and said, "Of course, we are going to Jinfeng City as well."

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

Yin En looked at the side and said with relief after finding that there was no one around: "As the saying goes - one general is incompetent and the entire army is exhausted. If the king is really a idiot, then our troubles are not as big as ordinary ones." , because judging from the information provided by Zhazha and the others, this time the king plans to rip off his entire family, so if the coalition is defeated, the Duke of Merlot will definitely take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and then the entire Skaven Kingdom will be It’s going to be a mess.”

Ding Kun nodded and said affirmatively: "If the coalition forces are defeated, then the Skaven Kingdom will most likely be occupied by Duke Mero'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 were just the plague, Liu Xing and others would still have a chance to find a solution, but if military disasters were added, then Liu Xing and others would really be useless.

"It seems that we have to find a way to let the coalition forces win, or at least let the coalition forces retreat completely, otherwise our mission will definitely not be able to continue." Liu Xing frowned and said, "It seems that we have to go see him as soon as possible. King, and then receive from him certain powers of command.”

Ding Kun chuckled and said, "Leave this issue to me. I will definitely have a way to convince the king to reuse us. After all, Zhang Jingxu's title of brave is very useful."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu came to the living room with the red stone self-painting and said solemnly: "I just received news from the emperor. He hopes that we can meet with the King of Skaven Kingdom as soon as possible."
