Chapter 562 219. The Final Attack
The road leading to the palace gardens is paved with a carpet of petals all year round. Elite soldiers with golden armor shining in the sun stood on both sides of the road...
This is the scene leading to the palace before the old capital fell.
But now, the road is littered with blood and fire, death and chaos.
The rat men who rushed down from the palace were retreating steadily, and the expeditionary force with high morale rushed up to kill the rat men.
The warriors stood in front, while the musketeers and rangers were responsible for relieving the pressure on them. The mages continued to release spells to purify, reduce fatigue, and heal injuries. The rat men carried dozens of germs.
Putting it in the wild, the warrior can at most eliminate some rat groups. But in a city-state where streets and alleys are everywhere, the status of soldiers cannot be replaced.
There are no flowerbeds or vegetation, the sculptures have been knocked down, and the murals have been chipped out. The bare palace has no sense of beauty. The expeditionary force seems to be fighting in a lost ruins. When they stepped onto the steps and formally rushed into the palace garden, the ranger was the first to climb onto the roof of the old palace, raised his longbow and roared.
They are similar to cats. They always like to stay in high places where they can see their surroundings to satisfy their sense of security. Therefore, in addition to the elf pantheon, they will also choose to believe in cats and midnight maidens.
At this time, a white and beautiful cat climbed to the top of the palace, and the surrounding rangers backed away.
They respect spiritual cats and believe that they are the messengers of cats and the Midnight Maid, especially at the end of the first millennium of the Saint Laurent calendar when the gods lost contact.
Shamao came to the edge of the palace roof, as if he had trampled the entire royal city under his feet. Even if the ruined city is not beautiful, it will still remind Him of everything that was still in the Kingdom of God...
I, starting from the Saint, will rekindle the divine fire!
"What are you doing standing so high! Be careful of falling!"
The shouts that followed the wind dragged him back to the world. The silly cat lowered his head, and the angry cat eyes reflected the standing figure. Annan shouted anxiously in front of the palace.
So annoying!
The expeditionary force that rushed into the palace showed that the rat people had lost their last support. They were driven deep into the palace and killed one by one... just like they did to the city.
After dozens of minutes, the battle ended.
The expeditionary force conquered the palace mountain.
The soldiers discussed enthusiastically whether it would be more fulfilling to conquer the palace on Mount Montreal... Annan almost wanted to cover his ears.
Annan took Princess Seles to the palace garden. She wanted to witness the loss of the Montreal family with her own eyes.
There are still some ratmen scattered in the corners of the old royal capital, but Annan is too lazy to look for them anymore. They won't stay here anyway.
In fact, the honor of conquering the old royal capital is greater than the actual gain.
They wiped out hundreds of thousands of ratmen and a dozen priests and one elder... But these losses were nothing to the ratmen, or even to the Stun clan.
The Ratmen have been wreaking havoc in the old capital for several months, and everything of value is gone.
Just like the old saying: The arrogance of the Skaven is that they have no arrows worth anything.
A ranger met a rat man on the road, took out an arrow and drew his bow to kill it, so the ranger lost money.
Unless the ranger encounters three ratmen on the road, takes out an arrow and draws the bow to kill them, the arrow continues to shoot through the second ratman, and nails the third ratman. Calculate the cost of recovering the arrows.
Even Annan is having a headache about how to recruit ratmen in the future Liberty City.
Not to mention elves, exquisite skills, appreciation of art, immortality and beauty... no one minds even if it is a vase; dwarves are natural miners and blacksmiths; orcs at least still have strength, once A duel between a thousand elite human soldiers and a thousand orcs pulled from the tribe would definitely result in a total defeat for the human race;
And the Skaven...they are really good at breeding, and they can also spread plague. At most, they were working as hard laborers and farmers, but in Liberty City they were replaced by skeletons.
"...The betrayer and his minions fled to the south."
Princess Sails' words brought Annan back from his thoughts. She was talking about the king who betrayed his people. They ran to the southwest. If Annan lets the New Freedom return to Xingyue Bay, there is a high probability that he will see them on the way.
"Are you talking about the Kingdom of Ruikan'er? They have been doing something strange recently." Evelin appeared and disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Princess Seles's lifeless eyes fell on Evelin.
"Well... the "Gemini Minister Weekly" said that they suddenly announced that they would resist the rat tide and the demon tide, and accept the old people... Tsk, you want me to tell you what they did earlier?"
As an old citizen of the Ruikaner Kingdom, Evelyn represents the thoughts of all the old people.
A large amount of food and weapons were also purchased there, and they really started to clean up the rat people and demons.
Annan suddenly remembered the Holy Council a few days ago... Is this what they want?
Annan directly exposed the betrayer's lies because he didn't want Princess Sails to still have hope for those bastards: "When I set out, the Holy Council announced that 'all territories recovered by the monarch will belong to them.' I think this is them. The purpose of this. The old system limited the expansion of the kingdom, but now, they can expand in the official name of regaining the old land..."
There are several vacancies equivalent to Ruikan in the western part of the North. The size of your kingdom. As long as they are recovered, the area of the Kingdom of Rekaner will suddenly become as big as the Tatooine Empire.
It sounds unreasonable for the king to give up his country to others and then take it back, but if it were replaced by "sell his own property and buy it back at a lower price", it would be understandable.
And there are not many insiders about this matter. Annan, the King of Gold, the King of Bones, and the people around them...at least ordinary people would never know the viciousness of these nobles.
Maybe they will also support the Kingdom of Ruikan in launching a counterattack.
"Evelin, I need you to make a special edition of "Voice of Freedom."" Annan solemnly said to Evelin: "Make all the dirty, betrayal, betrayal, and current purpose of the Rekaner Kingdom public to the public."< br>
“Making trouble for them? I’m the best at it!” Evelin jumped up and down.
"Annan..."
Princess Sails suddenly stopped Annan weakly. She said it would bring disaster upon him and the Free City.
If nothing else, there are at least a few legends who follow the betrayer...such as Annan's metaphorical Red Devil in "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
The high-altitude wind blew on the palace mountain, taking away Annan's impulse.
This time is no small fight, and his opponent is no longer a sieve like the Mad Dog Archduke. What Annan has to face is a kingdom with great power and unscrupulous means.
"... Prepare the draft first, and I will ask my ancestors when I go back."
Annan still didn't want to give up.
Allowing the Kingdom of Rekaner to continue to develop... Who knows if a few hundred years later, the traitor will become "The country was taken away by the ratmen and demons, unwilling to give up, and finally defeated the ratmen" and devil” hero?
That's so disgusting...
