The second day of the outbreak, repeat it once, just look at the system preview time

Section 18 News

"Master, in the society of rat people, magic stones are used as money. In essence, there are only two reasons why they are unwilling to take action against the huge magic stone mine. The first is that they don't know how much 'benefit' is, so they are reluctant to spend too much money at once. The second is that they face the solid defense of the dwarves and do not have the confidence to win. Of course, there are other ideas such as fearing that others will benefit, but those are not the key. Believe me, Master, as time goes by, what we want will happen will definitely happen."

Ash Rufati nodded. So far, Carrie's judgment is very accurate, and he should believe it.

"Master, I suggest we go out for a walk. Although it is unlikely, you must be wary of some people who are stubborn and have launched sneak attacks."

A tightly defended area has been formed around the underground town of the Baku people under the design of Ashu Rufate. Since a large number of weapons and equipment were obtained in previous large-scale transactions, the Baku people's warriors were very well equipped, and there were also a large number of magic stone weapons and war beasts as support. Ashu Rufate had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army, but his confidence in their discipline was not enough. So he patrolled the entire town from time to time, especially the realm of fortifications at key locations. If any guy dared to take a slut, he immediately executed or demoted him to a slave without any mercy.

As usual, a small team of storm warriors with black fur followed him. As Ash Rufate's personal guards, the equipment of these storm warriors has been fundamentally changed. They all wore thick and strong metal armor and held weapons made using magic stone technology in their hands. The rat man treated the magic stone into appropriate powder to merge with metal, turning it into an evil weapon with green light and constant flow of venom. In ordinary clans, this high-end weapon can only be used by the bigwigs in the clan, but in the Baku clan, Ash Rufate used these things to arm all the storm warriors.

Trading is in full swing in the square outside the town. Since almost all the rat clans now know that the Baku clan has sufficient magic stones and are willing to purchase food, weapons and equipment at high prices, more than a dozen caravans rushed to the Baku towns to sell items every day. At this moment, two caravans arrived, one caravan was selling food, and they fought fiercely with the head of the Baku clan on the price. Another caravan brought some magic weapons with high value and was about to take them out to demonstrate.

Others immediately discovered Ashrufate's arrival. Because of the deformation ability of the red blood armor, Ashrufate's appearance looked like a rat man with fiery red fur and extremely tall, so he looked particularly eye-catching. Even if these rat man had never seen Ashrufate in the past, he at least recognized him from this unique appearance.

The Baku rats saluted him one after another. However, Ashu Rufat waved his hand and signaled them to continue their work.

The two caravans had a total of about two hundred people. Ashrufat assessed the risk of putting these caravans in. Even if there were hidden personnel on their trucks, the number would not exceed four hundred. If this was a deliberate attack, the scale would not exceed the Baku people's ability to cope. He looked around and confirmed that Baku soldiers were here to guard him everywhere, just in case. It seemed that the guys responsible for safety had not finally dereliction of duty.

A strange rat man dressed in a businessman came over from the caravan and came straight towards Ash Rufate. The two followers immediately met him and blocked him in front.

"Who are you?" A storm warrior threatened to signal the weapon in his hand.

"I'm here to meet Lord Ash Rufate." The rat man's eyes flashed with a cunning light. "Come for a contract."

"Oh." Ashu Rufate responded and signaled his personal guard to get out of the way. "What kind of contract."

"This." The strange rat man took out a dirty and thick notebook from his body and handed it to Ash Rufate. Ash Rufate took it casually and looked over it for a few glances. He immediately understood that this was the information sent by the black-clad assassin. The ordinary rat man in front of him was actually an envoy of the Essin clan? Why did they send an envoy to sneakily?

"How many magic stones do this thing require?"

"No, we don't need magic stones." The light in the messenger's eyes made people think of the tigers looking at the plump deer in the distance. "In fact, as a reward for these things, we hope to have a formal meeting with Lord Ashrufate."

Ash Rufate smiled slightly. This answer was already expected, which also shows why they inexplicably sent a guy to hide his identity and sneak up instead of letting an open messenger collect money.

"Master, you must refuse." In my mind, Carrie reminded. "You can have a high appetite so that you can be in an advantageous position in negotiations, which is the principle."

"I remember my promise at the time that I would pay with Magic Stone cash, but I did not agree to a meeting." He amplified his voice so that the rats in faraway places, including Baku and foreign ones, could hear him. "So I have to refuse. I would pay at a reasonable price, and I could not agree to anything else!"

The spy looked very embarrassed. With the concentration of many eyes, he became a little scared. All the secret messengers would become uneasy once their identity was exposed. To be honest, he did not expect that Ashu Rufate would have such a reply.

"The Essin clan will not forget your reply!" Perhaps expecting that this matter might not be good, he made a threatening answer in an ambiguous tone. "Mr. Esshu Rufate, please remember your words!"

The next moment, Ashu Rufate grabbed the rat man's neck and lifted him up with one hand. The messenger of the Essin clan struggled in vain, but could not get rid of Ashu Rufate's powerful wrists. His fingers were deeply tied into the messenger's neck, causing a faint "hissing" sound in his throat.

Then, Ashu Rufate lifted the messenger with force and smashed it hard to the ground. Amid the crisp sound of the bone breaking, the rat man slipped to the ground weakly and groaned in pain.

"You actually dare to threaten the powerful Lord Ash Rufate! Just for what you said just now, I should tear your tongue off!" After saying this, Ash Rufate looked at the messenger who could no longer move, and then turned around and left.

This is no longer the first messenger to make such a private meeting request. And just like all rats, they will threaten without thinking when their request is not met. Ashrufate's reply is the same, using the same method to break a few bones of these guys who speak wildly.

He has now completely figured out Game of Thrones, or at least Game of Thrones by Rat Man. Every messenger thought that they had a powerful backer behind them, but forgot that in the face of huge interests, these backers would throw them away without hesitation, just like throwing away an inconspicuous piece of earth. They thought they were part of a huge existence, but ignored that they were just that kind of dispensable part.

Of course, Ashu Rufate was sure that no enemy would attack him for these reasons. Because he was ready for war. He immediately raised his troops to start a war without any words, which was in the style of green skin. In the world of rat people, everything revolved around interests. Peace is based on one's own strength, not on the servile side.

"The Essin clan is not looking for me for the purpose of prolonging life medicine." As he walked, Ash Rufate discussed with Carrie in his mind. "I remember that their boss still has a lot of time before he was old. Assassin is a life-long profession, and the old ones cannot occupy a position for a long time."

"It's hard to say that they may intend to use life-extending potions to put pressure on other clans." Carrie had a different view. "But anyway, based on the information obtained from his subordinates, it seems that rumors are flying around about the source of our magic stone."

Although all reports were ostensibly passed by Ashu Rufate's hands, he actually hardly read those reports. Every time he actually just took the reports in his hand and turned the pages at the fastest speed. The one who was really reading these reports was Carrie.

"Master, what we originally expected was correct. In fact, in the lower class of Rat Man, the communication between the various clans is much wider and more in-depth than expected. It is precisely because of this that members of the Baku tribe can also find out various rumors."

"What are some rumors now?"

"The most widely circulated saying is that we have found a rare rich mine... an accidental magic stone rich mine that extends beyond the dwarf defense line. Although this rumor is logical, it is not what we want. Maybe we should release our own rumor."

“Release our own rumors?”

"Well, master, don't underestimate rumors. Rumors cannot shake the wise, but any race in any society, wise people are only a small part. Most of the members of society are 'fools'. The so-called rumors can erode people's beliefs and shake their will. Although they cannot be said to make the last blow, they are very useful weapons. Especially, they almost cost."

"What kind of rumors do we need?" Ashu Rufate asked strangely.

"Of course it's the story of our battle with the dwarves. It's easy to deal with the dwarves, and it's rich in magic stone mines... By the way, master, did you accidentally discover an ancient battlefield last time?"

Carrie said that a ruin was discovered during the excavation process - it was actually an ancient battlefield. It should have been caused by the last time Karak Grom was captured by Green Skin. A group of dwarves escaped into a secret mine, but were chased by Green Skin. In the end, it was unknown whether it was the Dwarves' explosives or Green Skin' magic that destroyed the mine, causing the tunnel to collapse, and turning the entire place into a living coffin. Although the dwarves recaptured Karak Grom this time, time passed, and they did not know the existence of this mine, and they did not have the time to dig pits and find mines in the underground world. In short, the magic stone excavation team of the Rat Man accidentally discovered this ancient battlefield. Of course, there are only countless corpses here now.

However, in addition to the corpse, many weapons can be found on the site. Perhaps because of isolation from the outside world, many weapons look in good condition.

"We are lucky. With these ancient weapons and equipment, our rumors will definitely be impeccable!"
