Chapter 496 153. Spreading kindness
Whether Mad Dog Archduke’s temptation or Annan’s counterattack, they are all unseemly methods.
Olmedo told Annan that the honor of winning the war with Mad Dog Archduke belongs to Liberty City.
In the future, Annan will no longer be prejudiced and despised. Those big shots and family heirs will treat him as an equal.
“Wouldn’t my advantage be gone?”
How can I still walk among ladies and young ladies?
But Annan will be seventeen in three months. At an age where he is already married and has children, he can no longer be tolerated because of his age as before. Some things only a child would laugh off if they did them.
Olmedo stared thoughtfully at Annan, who was shorter than him: "You haven't grown taller, have you?"
Not only the height has not changed, but even Annan's appearance has changed. Maintaining the appearance of the 15 or 6 years old when he first arrived...
"Don't be nervous, this is not a shortcoming." Olmedo said meaningfully, "Many immortal species grow slower than humans."
"I am human."
"But you are a warlock...a warlock who creates magic."
A warlock is a basket, and everything is put into it.
“Stop talking about me!”
Annan avoided this embarrassing topic.
"Then let's continue talking about the Mad Dog Archduke." Olmedo lowered his head to hide his smile, "For the Mad Dog Archduke, the longer the war drags on, the uglier he will be."
Annan thought the same way. Every day the war lasted, Innocent civilians will die for this.
“Do you think he will launch a real attack in the next few days?”
“Absolutely, assassination is a shameless act everywhere. If he doesn’t want the matter to be exposed, he has to be careful. Before you speak, you can’t speak.”
Annan’s mind pictured thousands of civilians being driven to the battlefield, and the Mad Dog Archduke’s soldiers were mixed in...
The Musketeers were unable to clear out the soldiers without accidentally injuring civilians, so the magic cannon was never activated. Annan asked Abby to call Girardi, who was temporarily staying in the city lord's mansion, and asked him if the Mad Dog Archduke was legendary.
"Yes -" Girardi paused, "but Mr. Stavin was disgusted with the indiscriminate killings of Mad Dog Archduke and has left the principality."
Annan, who recruited help, was almost the same as Mad Dog Archduke is equally powerful, so the key lies in those civilians.
"We cannot let those civilians still be driven by the mad dog Archduke." Olmedo and Annan thought together.
"Let's go to the Crystal Lair." Annan thought of a way.
Excluding Girardi, Annan pushed Itilia and Olmedo to the crystal lair next door,
Annan's plan was that Ilimoyas fell into the camp late at night, and he opened Portal, take away all the civilians before Mad Dog Archduke reacts, and launch a wave of raids.
A simple plan, but Mad Dog Archduke would never have thought of it.
After discussing the plan, Annan sent his eldest sister back to the city lord's palace. He did not leave immediately, but stayed in her office to think.
“Sister, is Liberty City strong?”
"There is no doubt. It only took us a few months to do what many towns could not do for several years."
"But we are very weak..."
With the Elemental Legion After leaving, Liberty City was left with only a thousand musketeers to gather again. Magic guns can change the situation, but a thousand magic guns cannot.
"I know what you are thinking, and it's not your fault... We are fighting someone who controls the entire principality." Itilia stroked Annan's cheek and whispered softly.
“Time is on our side.”
"I know."
There were still several hours before night, so Annan first went to the hospital to visit the injured. Hospitals that used to be empty are overcrowded these days. Because everyone has minor or major injuries.
Exhaustion, contusions, infections, fractures... After being driven to walk nearly a thousand miles, they sprinted hundreds of meters at the end, and the least of them were malnourished...
But as long as it is cured by Dean Breshim, recovery is only a matter of time.
There were five children who came, and they were accompanied by their parents. Annan first went to visit the children. A little girl with gauze tied on her chest was sitting on a clean hospital bed, holding a rag doll.
Next to her sat her family, a man who didn't like to talk.
The little girl holding the doll looked up at Annan and raised the doll.
Annan thought she was giving it to him: "Are you going to give it to me?"
Nia thought Annan wanted: "She is my family, you have to take good care of her..." ”
Finally the misunderstanding was resolved, Annan returned the doll, touched Nia's little head, and continued to visit other patients.
"You don't know who he is?" Lockran said at this time.
"I seem to have seen..." Nia tried to remember, "Is it little Henry?"
"Who is little Henry?"
"My neighbors, they A family is here too...is it little Mike?”
Nia guessed several more names, and Lochran had to tell her that the boy was the city lord here. Nia didn't believe it: "Lochran, you are lying again, why did the city lord come here?"
"It's him. "
"Well...why is he different from those big shots..."
After seeing the children, Annan went to visit the civilians who were deceived by the Mad Dog Archduke. When Luo Lan saw Annan, he sat up from the hospital bed: "Sir, I am not injured -"
"But you are seriously weak. Do you know that you only weigh less than 70 pounds? I can't even imagine how you can run. Come back." Annan made Luo Lan cry with a few words and told the whole story of how Mad Dog Grand Duke forced him.
"My friend... Ina was cut open by him..." Lorraine cried and begged: "Can you save her..."
"There is no way...but we have the Necromancer, Can you let her accompany you in another way?" Annan hated betrayal, but still asked out of kindness.
“You can resurrect her!?”
“What is resurrected is only her body...or bones.”
Loland thought of the skeleton rat-man in the wheat field. : "It's better to forget it."
"Lord Annan..."
Remembering something, Luo Lan held the dagger blade and offered the dagger: "This is yours..."
"This is yours." Annan's eyes were fixed on He swiped the jeweled dagger and said to Luo Lan, who was hesitant to speak: "If you don't want it, go to the store and sell it. It should be enough for you to return to more than 100 pounds without doing anything."
"Do you really believe us...?"
Annan did not answer his stupid question: "Have a good rest and think about what you are good at."
Not long after Annan went out, Luo Lan started crying again like a sniveller.
Annan believed them, Olmedo did not. These civilians who claimed to have been coerced by the Mad Dog Archduke were interrogated, and musketeers guarded the door of the ward.
After coming out of the hospital, the Mage Tower across a street in the distance has stalled - workers did not have time to complete the first part of the Mage Tower before the end of the war, but they had time to build houses for new residents in the future.
