Chapter 310: Zhendan Ratman

Wendlow is not a good person. Just give him a reminder and he doesn't have to take responsibility.

And if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what the Zhendan soldier said.

They were soldiers whose mission was to defend the town and port. What he had just said was indeed somewhat demoralizing.

When facing a battle in which they are certain to die, it is better for soldiers not to know too much.

He could only turn back and prepare to drive away from this place with Mousse to avoid the subsequent dark elf siege.

"Wait a minute, sir."

A voice came from behind him. Wendlow turned around in surprise, but found that there was no one behind him.

Thanks to his experience dealing with dwarves, he of course looked down and indeed discovered what it was that was calling him.

He is covered with hair, short in stature, with brown hair, two large erect ears, and a long white beard.

Windlow had seen this thing in the old world, but with so many differences, he was not sure if this thing was what he remembered.

After all, the imperial government is very taboo about things like "rat people" and has basically never mentioned them.

It was only when he was communicating with a female ratman and a dwarf that he learned information about the ratman race.

The ratmen in front of him were very different from the ratmen in the old world.

Not to mention the size difference between the dwarf and the goblin, the fact that the goblin wore clothes and had the habit of combing his hair made Windlow let down his guard.

When you go out and meet people who are neatly dressed and don’t have any bad odor, most of them are good people.

"Ratman?"

"Yes, yes, we are Skavens, but you are from the Empire? Never mind, that's not important. I just heard you calling on the defenders to run. Do you know the Dark Elf fleet very well?"

To be honest, Windlow knew nothing about the Dark Elves' fleet and the Black Ark. However, Mousse in his team had escaped from the Dark Elves and must know a lot about them.

Out of absolute trust in Mousse, Wendlow nodded.

"I don't know much about it, but I know one thing: this city cannot stop the black ark of the dark elves."

"Yes, that's right, I think so too."

While speaking, the rat man in linen clothes touched his sleeves and took out a bag containing several gold coins.

It's not big, but it's full of teeth marks, and it's obviously loose gold used for business. Its weight is only about two gold coins.

"This is my reward. I hope you can take my family and our valuables away from here."

This rat man’s judgment was correct.

Since Windlow was able to come and warn the city defense forces of the impending threat, he naturally would not just rush to grab the gold when he saw it.

"Alright, alright, let's run as many as we can. It's not a good thing to be caught by the dark elves."

Seeing that Windlo accepted the gold, the ratman turned around and blew a whistle. Suddenly, more than a dozen ratmen jumped out from behind a bush and came to Windlo in an orderly manner.

After making sure it was safe, the rat man called out his entire family.

To be honest, I can't tell the difference between male and female rat men. I can only judge the difference in age from their size.

Each ratman packed all his luggage and hung it on one end of a stick, which was then placed on their shoulders.

They all stood in front of Wendlow and bowed, thanking him in advance for saving their lives.

The hair of these dozen or so rat men had been combed, and their bodies were obviously well-groomed, which did not make them look like rat men living in sewers.

Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he still led them to his carriage.

This gave Mousse a big shock.

It’s not that the dark elf Mousse has never seen ratmen, but there are so many ratmen appearing at once, and on the ground, so there may be other ratmen lurking nearby.

What's going on with Wendlow? Does he like ratmen? And are these ratmen native to Zhendan?

Considering that these ratmen were relatively clean and had no weapons or things like dimensional stones on them, they put aside their hostility.

The carriage is not big, just enough to accommodate the entire rat family.

The vehicle set off, heading south. As they were getting farther and farther away from Haiqi Port, the ratmen finally felt relieved and could tell Windlow some things about themselves.

That’s right, they are the native ratmen of Zhendan. They are thinner than the ratmen of the Old World, but more intelligent, aggressive, and cooperative.

Living in the cities or villages of Zhendan with family as the bond, they lead the most peaceful life.

The rat people of this family run a clinic in Haiqi Port, making a living by refining medicines and providing medical services.

At the same time, thanks to the talents of the rat people, they can always sense the coming of danger earlier than humans.

Whether it is an earthquake, a flood, or a threat from the outside world, the rat people can always detect it in advance.

This family of ratmen immediately realized that something was wrong when the black ark appeared on the sea surface.

It’s a pity that they all live in families and rarely have contact with other rat families. Unless the situation worsens, they will not leave their own place of residence.

Therefore, I had no idea about the world outside Haiqi Port and never found a good opportunity to leave.

It was only then that I happened to meet Windlow passing by here that I had a basic idea of ​​the direction.

As for where Windlow will go next, these ratmen don't care. As long as they reach the next human town, they can use their knowledge and technology to open a new clinic and start a new life.

So the things in the luggage were naturally various medical books and prescriptions written in Zhendan language.

After checking and confirming that there was nothing dangerous, Mousse felt relieved.

But what about the road ahead? Windlo, like this group of ratmen, had never traveled a long distance in such a land.

Not to mention the next town, we don’t even know where the next village is.

The only way is to head south according to the position of the sun to see if there are other places we can reach.

There is one thing that makes Zhendan better than any other human kingdom, and that is the road grid system that runs through the entire country.

Following the road southwards, after a week's trek, we finally saw a Zhendan city not far away.

The words across the top of the city gate are the name of this city: Zhizhu City.

There was no obstruction in entering the city. It seems that the place called Zhendan really accepts the existence of the rat people.

It just so happened that Windlo and Mousse, who had been on the road all the time, finally had some time to rest. After that, they only needed to ship and purchase goods and could return to their normal business life.

But just as the group of ratmen were about to get off the bus, the leading ratman frowned and kept sniffing the air.

"No, no, there's something wrong with this city. We can't stay here. No, no."
