Chapter 559 216. Saving Princess Seles
City Lord’s Mansion
After finishing his work, Olmedo remembered that he had not seen Deville Gundo for a day.
“Where are our guests?”
Ingrid, who was clearing the table, said: “The pub.”
"Let Abby come." Olmedo called Abby outside the door, "You didn't arrange an embassy for him?"
"It was arranged, but... the tavern has services that the embassy does not."< br>
Olmedo understood, "Man..." she sighed helplessly.
The succubus business has greatly increased the appeal of Liberty City to professionals, and countless mercenaries have come here. Among them, the most chaste one is the most notorious sorcerer...Annan.
Olmedo selected the merchants and goods going to Gangduo and sent someone to notify Deville Gangduo.
Not long after, Deville Gangduo, who tried hard not to be frivolous in his steps, came to the city lord's mansion, but his thin body betrayed him.
“Don’t you need to rest for a while before going back?”
Olmedo was worried that Deville Gundo’s return would cause discord between Liberty City and that lord.
"That way I will only become thinner." Dwyer Gangduo knew himself. He had to leave, but he still had some regrets: "I didn't see the genius city lord."
Olmedo remembered that Annan had always expressed some unspeakable longing for the south... This was a good opportunity.
"There will be a chance," she said.
......
Winter Territory
On the high tower of the castle, Lady Winter looked at the barren land in the distance.
Rat nests and demonic tides raged back and forth outside, and this barrenness gradually faded away as we approached the Winter Territory. Around the castle on the top of the mountain, there are still grasses and shrubs in full bloom, and farmland is also growing vigorously.
Skaven and demons aren't complete idiots. After being unable to eat the Winter Territory, they instead attacked the surrounding borders. As a result, the Winter Territory became more and more prominent.
It won’t be long before this place will be completely surrounded and become an isolated island that will be coveted again.
At this time, a brown horse kicked up dust and came from the south. After lowering the bridge on the moat, he entered the castle and came to Lady Winter.
“What’s the reason?”
“It’s still your old acquaintance, Annan Reeves.” Mrs. Winter’s captain of the guard reported the situation in the south.
Annan Reeves formed a Freedom Expeditionary Force and headed north along the western border of the Kingdom of Dimon. They encountered a gathering tide of rats near the dark forest, and then retreated south while fighting.
The captain of the guard thought for a while and said: "I think he originally wanted to join you."
Mrs. Winter was noncommittal, recalling the appearance of the charming warlock boy:
"Send a team of knights and a team of mages to support. Erin, lead the team yourself."
......
"...I am the warden of the dungeon."
"What?"
Annan heard clearly, but felt that he did not hear clearly.
Maria said: "The Princess Sails you mentioned is under my supervision."
The goddess of luck is on her side - Annan realized this: "You put me Catch him and imprison him with Princess Sayles!”
"Princess Seles is an important prisoner, you can't be locked up together..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be sent to the dungeon, I will find a way."
Maria I wouldn't mind helping Annan again, for the sake of the non-existent friendship of the Stun clan. As for the punishment for prisoners who escape from prison...at least they won't die.
They stayed at the farm until night. Maria took off the grass ring and tied Annan's hands in the rat-man style. At this time, Maria could easily kill Annan, who had destroyed her mission twice, and was about to destroy her third time.
But Maria deliberately changed the rope that tied Annan into a slipknot, and Annan just took the initiative to rub his head against the wall, making his black hair messy. The supposedly fragile humans and rat-men maintain a strangely strong friendship.
Next, Annan followed Maria into the high wall of the old royal capital.
The once prosperous and lively streets have become desolate after losing humans. The old royal capital has been completely occupied by rat people, and there is not a single living person...
The surrounding rat people are staring at Annan. , he lowered his head and said nothing, memorizing the route.
Following Maria to the dark dungeon, Annan was locked into an empty cell. Maria, who was talking to the rat guards, spoke in sinister and cunning rat language. Annan guessed that she was saying: "Don't harass him, I'm still useful."
Then Maria left temporarily, and soon she came back and handed Annan a piece of parchment.
"This is the road map of the dungeon. The Princess Seles you are looking for is at the bottom. This is the key to the prison door..." Maria lowered the difficulty of rescuing people for Annan: "I will be there at midnight Call all the guards, you will hear the bell, that is your chance to act."
Annan was grateful for Maria's help, and he remembered something: "You are the warden, I am here to kidnap you. The prisoner in your charge...will you be in trouble?"
"...My brother is a champion ratman, and he won't let anything happen to me."
"Speak to my brother for me. Say hello.”
Maria left, and Annan hid the key and waited quietly in the cell for midnight.
Late at night, Annan heard a distant bell echoing in the dungeon.
Annan opened his dark eyes as deep as the night, opened the cell door with the key given by Maria, and followed the route map to the deepest part of the dungeon.
This process was extremely smooth, Annan did not encounter any rat people.
"Princess Sayers?"
Annan asked the dark figure who bowed his head in the cell.
Rustling...
The shadow raised his head: "Who are you?"
"I am Annan."
" Annan...?”
She forgot a lot about her past...but she still remembered apple pie.
"Why are you..."
Crack——
The sound of the cell door opening interrupted her, and Annan came to her, amidst the stench. I saw the princess who was about to become a withered bone.
“I’m here to save you.”
"No...let me die here..." Princess Sayles, who had no hope, didn't want to leave.
"The Montreal family can still be saved."
Annan told Princess Sales. His rescue was met with the tacit approval of the Montreal Mountains. She didn't have the face to face the Montreal Gold Family, but then Annan said that the second prince's life box was in his hands, and Asimov said that he still had a chance to be resurrected.
"Princess, you don't want your brother to have no sister..."
Annan helped up Princess Sayles, who was so light and almost weightless. The way out was clear, and no ratmen appeared to block it.
When they escaped from the dungeon and the night sky appeared above their heads, Princess Seles stared blankly. What Annan was thinking was that Maria must have paid an unimaginable price...
Looking for Maria at this time would only betray her efforts. Annan supported Princess Sails and avoided the patrolling ratmen on the street.
The patrolling rat men were completely unaware that there were two more little mice in the rat nest, and they lazily went about their patrol duties. Even the rat men at the gate of the city were still napping...
Annan and Sales passed them slowly and quickly, then sped to the outskirts of the old royal capital.
“Goodbye…”
Maria on the city wall looked at Annan's back and said goodbye softly. The grass ring on her head was blown off by the wind, and the darkness behind her swallowed her up bit by bit.
