The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 13 Strong Rat Project
"Master! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay, very good!"

The Tan Niya Healing Club really lived up to its reputation. All the succubi in it were talented, and they spoke nicely. He liked it very much.

When those gentle yet warm words sounded in his ears, Ikert's melancholy about being far away from home and the pressure of bloody killing dissipated immediately.

After venting some pressure after a long absence, Ickert just felt refreshed and more energetic in doing things!
"By the way, Aris, has the General Logistics Department responded?"

"You have already answered, young master. Your first batch of supplies will follow us. Donali's storehouses are well stocked, and we are just waiting for your order."

"Great, but the way to the territory is not safe, let's take it easy and recover in Donali first, and then set off in ten days."

"Okay young master, I will arrange it. You can take a good rest."

When Aris said this, his face was full of smiles, an expression that I understand you, but it was not easy for Ickert to tell him that he really had business to do.

The frontline is no worse than the empire, and the monsters raging here are not weak goblins.

The empire is short of manpower and cannot send him guards. If he encounters those powerful monsters, he will be caught blind. He plans to take advantage of these few days to train the mice and collect information around the territory.

The victories along the way did not go to Ickert's mind. Being strong in reality is unreasonable and unbalanced. Now this family background is not enough for him to fight.

In the previous battles, the Shushus always rushed to kill the goblins fiercely. Although they looked brave, they were actually disorganized and undisciplined. Once they were pulled into formation, they would scatter, and their eyes were full of flaws.

A series of operations saw Ikert's blood pressure soar. If such a tactic encounters a stronger enemy, he will only be beaten!
Moreover, there is an extreme lack of long-range weapons in his army. The only long-range means available to the entire army is throwing stones.

As for the bow, although he has reserves for this thing, he can't expect the Ratman to learn how to use it within a year. Although archers are easy to use, they are not easy to train!

While he was still in Donali and supplies were still convenient, he decided to train these Shushu well.

After walking out of the hotel, Ickert called a child casually, handed him ten silver coins, and took out a few more silver coins and slipped them into his clothes.

"Look for an open space, the place should be big enough to accommodate a hundred people to practice, and then ask if there are any veterans who are willing to teach, 20 silver coins, ten days of work, two are enough, you must know how to bow and crossbow, and then come back when you are done. Ask me for money."

"No problem, sir! I will definitely take care of it for you!"

The child couldn't hide his inner joy, the money was quite rich for Donali's "city mouse".

The existence of the "city rat" was taught by Aris to Ickert. These children are the eyes and ears of the underground gang. As long as the money is in place, they can do things reliably. They dare not deceive the frontline lords of the empire.

Giving a few more money is just to look at the child poorly. Ickert knows that his income will naturally be taken away by his superiors, and how much he can keep depends on his luck.

In the afternoon, after enjoying a set meal of roasted pork with mushrooms provided by the hotel, Ickert waited for the news.

This time, a rather muscular adult man came to the door, with a bad face and a bald head.

"My lord, are you looking for the Martial Arts Field?"

The bald man asked sincerely, in this city where there are as many knights as dogs and nobles are everywhere, no one dares to offend any stranger.

Even if he looks like a commoner, you can't tell which nobleman's servant he is.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog!

"Yes, it's me. Since everyone is here, let's lead the way."

Ickert turned around and picked up the big sword on his back, called Genier and the Stormrats were about to set off.

Unexpectedly, the bald man showed embarrassment, and said slowly:

"I'm really sorry, my lord, your money hasn't arrived yet."

"Not in place? How could it be?"

"It's such an adult, the 'market mouse' you were looking for slipped away, and I just got the news from other sources, otherwise how dare I keep you waiting all morning!"

The bald man said rather embarrassingly that this matter was regarded as poor management of the gang. Not only did he not receive the money, but he neglected a frontline nobleman.

The military power in these guys' hands is outrageous, no matter how big the gang comes, they can't make trouble with the army.

"."

After listening to the bald man's words, Ickert did not respond, but made a thoughtful expression, making the bald man wait for a while.

After a long time, the bald man sighed. The nobleman in front of him was a shrewd man. It seemed that the introduction fee would not be available.

"My lord, why don't you see it this way, this matter is also the responsibility of our guild, so we won't charge your introduction fee, how?"

"good."

Ickert, who was still reluctant just now, immediately got up, and greeted a group of Stormrats to go out, and the bald man who thought he was unlucky had to lead the way.

This kind of thing can only be blamed on the gang's inability to restrain its subordinates, and he, Ickert, should not be taken advantage of.

Several people shuttled through the streets and alleys, and arrived at their destination in a short while.

"Sir, this is it."

The bald man pointed to a house and said, Ickert looked up, and there was no one to take care of the lawn and some dilapidated furniture.

"This is left by a former frontline lord. It is a residence he prepared in Donali City. The place is just right. Are you satisfied?"

"Not bad, I chose here."

Ickert walked into the courtyard. There was still some space inside. The crowd was just enough for the Ratmen to train. The quality of the courtyard itself was also very good. It just so happened that the territory needed a stronghold in the rear. This courtyard made him a little excited.

Seeing that Ickert was satisfied, the bald man at the side began to introduce the price of the house.

"My lord, this land is now in the hands of our gang. If you just rent it, two gold coins for ten days will be enough."

"It's fine to rent it, I want to buy this place, please estimate the price."

"Your Excellency, of course you can buy it, but you need a hundred gold coins!"

It’s not that the bald man looks down on Ickert. Every inch of land in Donali City is expensive, and the value of the empire’s gold coins remains high.
The gang is through the gate of the city. The new nobleman is just the son of a baron. The initial construction funds are a hundred gold coins. How can I get them?
However, before the bald man finished thinking, Ickert threw him 100 gold coins directly, and the bald man took it in a panic, frightened by the heavy money bag.

Open it and see that it is full of gold and money!All real gold coins!
"this this"

"What's the matter? Let's make an inventory quickly! I'm in a hurry."

Ickert said that the price was about the same as he had estimated, and the bald man regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"I'm sorry, my lord! I, I'm really... In short, it must be enough! You are the most noble nobleman! You will definitely not lie to me!"
