Chapter 550 207. Save or not
“I want to save her.”
Annan said to Itilia and Olmedo in the living room of the city lord’s palace.
Olmedo stood up and left the sofa, "Have you read the newspaper?" Itilia asked him.
"Voice of Liberty? What happened to this issue?"
Olmedo took a copy of "Imperial" and handed it to Annan.
The Empire is the official newspaper of the Tatooine Empire. After releasing the meaning of need on the Montreal Mountain, Annan sent a tutorial to Olin and the ancestors, free of charge.
Compared with "Voice of Freedom" which focuses on news from the Allen continent, "Empire" focuses on the situation in the Tatooine Empire. Government orders, changes, deployments and wars are all in the same weekly newspaper, and "arrogantly" it is not in the form of a magic newspaper, but an ordinary newspaper. It was extended to the entire empire under the orders of Mount Montreal.
"Voice of Liberty" is the founder of magical newspapers, and "Empire" has become the best-selling magical newspaper due to the hugeness of the Tatoon Empire, with sales dozens of times theirs.
"The United Expeditionary Force Returns to Middle-earth Due to the Mixed Tide of Demonic Rats", Annan saw the title at first sight.
"They lost?"
If you think about it carefully, nearly six months have passed since the expeditionary force set out at the beginning of the year...
The newspaper recorded in detail the battles the expeditionary force encountered: The joint expeditionary force of the country and the lords went north through the long corridor, bypassed the Elf Pass, and penetrated the Black Iron Mountains from the east, where they encountered the first wave of rat resistance.
There are endless rats in the underground, and the expeditionary force must clear out tens of thousands of rats every mile they advance. They had the opportunity to steadily clear out the McKenna Skaven hiding in the crisscrossing mines beneath the Dark Iron Mountains, but spending several months just to incorporate the Dark Iron Mountains into their territory was not in line with the consensus of all Middle-earth monarchs, so the commander commanded The expeditionary force crossed the mountains and penetrated deep into the hinterland, only to encounter a gathering demon army.
Then what Annan heard during the war with the Mad Dog Archduke was that the expeditionary force and the demons began to encounter each other in the Thundermang Rift Valley.
They held on there for a month, but were forced to retreat due to serious attrition, which became the words "Expeditionary Forces Shrink Front", "Expeditionary Forces Begin Tactical Retreat", "Expeditionary Forces Day" that appear in every issue of "Voice of Freedom" "Retreat" and "the expeditionary force was defeated".
The "Empire" coldly said that the defeat of the expeditionary force was certain. It was a failed operation that neither recovered the occupied lands nor rescued the survivors. The problem lies in the inability of each country to protect itself.
Annan believed this deeply. If they didn't use all their strength, they would not be able to kill all the McCann rats and push the demon to the north of the snow-capped mountains.
But how could the Middle-earth countries be so damaged by the Northern Territory...
"I didn't expect that even our neighbors would fail. They are 'barbarians'." Annan sighed.
The idea of ratmen and demons joining forces...is terrible no matter how you think about it. Who knows how long it will take them to encroach on the North and then invade Middle-earth?
Fortunately, the floating city below gave Annan a touch of warmth.
“That’s why the Joint Expeditionary Force was defeated now…”
The Joint Expeditionary Force composed of the Tatooine Empire and other countries is like Annan and Olmedo making money together.
Olmedo and Annan earned millions of gold naars combined.
The meaning of the eldest sister and Olmedo is also obvious: the expeditionary force failed, and neither can he.
“I can do it myself——”
“No.”
Annan argued: “I am different from the expeditionary force. The joint expeditionary force is vast and vast. It can be seen dozens of miles away. It is impossible for the rat people and the demonic tide to remain indifferent, and I am only one person. But on the surface, I am alone. In fact, there are Ilymayas and the two epics. As long as I don't encounter the legend and the legend. There is nothing the rat demon can do to me if I stay in one place for too long. "We can skip the Black Iron Mountains... map!"
Ingrid, who was standing aside, took the map, and Annan spread it out on the table, trying to find the location of the Elf Pass.
“Here.” Olmedo pointed casually.
Annan pointed at the Elf Pass and swiped up: "When the McKeon Ratmen broke through the Elf Pass and the Elf Mountains, entered the hinterland of the Violet Kingdom, and went straight to the Kingdom of Rekaner, the expeditionary force's route was the same as theirs, so it was inevitable You will encounter rat people along the way."
Annan drew a cross on the map of the Violet Kingdom with his finger, returned to the Free City on the Strait of Obiris, and drew eastward along the coastline: "Our goal. It’s to go to the royal capital to save people, so I can jump directly to Syltovis, jump from Syltovis to Montreal Mountain, and jump from Montreal Mountain to this...this..." on the northern border of the Tatun Empire. br>
“Zorn Tut Grand Canyon edge town.”
"This town on the edge of the Zorn Tut Grand Canyon, and then enter the Kingdom of Dimon. Mrs. Winter is there, and she also has the blood of the Montreal family. I can get more helpers there. Then directly enter the hinterland of the Kingdom of Rekaner, across the Pass through Rongguang County and Illida County and arrive directly at the royal capital!"
Annan pressed his finger hard on the map.
"The royal capital is here." Olmedo grabbed Annan's finger and moved it up a few centimeters. She looked at Annan: "Is it all worth it?"
Annan was serious. Looking at Olmedo: "If you had lived and died with Breeze City, I would have gone back to save you."
Itilia next to her quietly covered her mouth.
Under those dreamy black gem eyes, Olmedo no longer persisted: "Since you are going to set off, then make a big noise."
......
Pulai Peninsula The war was intense, but after the black jewel pirates disappeared, the surrounding sea fell into an eerie silence.
It is said that some merchant ships saw flashes of light, thunder, and terrifying roars. There is at least one epic hidden in "Sweet Home"... maybe a legend!
"Sweet Home" therefore became a restricted area, and on this day, the Hellfire Musketeers began to withdraw, leaving only 100 people stationed to continue teaching local townspeople and town guards how to use muskets.
Liberty City is once again at war. The construction of city walls, mage towers and other buildings were temporarily suspended, and all workers were supplied to the blacksmith shop to build magic muskets and plate armor that could arm three teams of musketeers before this week.
"I think they are a burden." Annan told the truth.
Olmedo says they won't slow you down, they can hide you and your purpose, and earn Liberty City's reputation.
Annan thought that they could promote Liberty City's specialties wherever they went, so he agreed to her.
During the preparation, Annan asked the magic mirror every day for news about Princess Sayles.
The bad news is that Princess Seles' condition is still "very bad", and the good news is still "very bad".
He also went to Blue Dragon to check the apocalypse forecast. The countdown was six months... which happened to be the first day of the thousand and one year of the Saint Laurent calendar.
On the eve of departure, Aunt Susan looked reluctant to leave, because it would be Annan's "birthday" in a few days.
"I will let the soldiers go home for the holidays before their birthdays." Annan promised.
