Chapter 567 224. "Voice of Freedom" Special Chapter
"Voice of Freedom" Special Chapter: The Secret of the Kingdom of Rekaner.
“This is a country. It colludes with the rat people, allows the rat people to invade the country, sends knights to massacre its own people, allows the rat people to go north to attack the snow mountain fortress, releases demons, and turns the entire northern territory into a Purgatory. We call it the Betrayer, and you call it... the Kingdom of Rekaner."
"In June of the year 1000 of the Saint Laurent Calendar, the Holy Council passed a resolution: All the territories recovered by the monarch will be restored. The Kingdom of Ruikaner, which was hiding on the west coast and waiting for the opportunity, came back, and its purpose of betraying mankind was revealed: expansion. "
"The calendar of Saint Laurent is a blessing, which means a new chapter for the continent of Allen. Writing. But this is a curse for the great nobles. They can no longer expand their territory through wars, assassinations and purchases. All nobles are forced to inherit the territory of their fathers and pass it on to the future heirs who have the blood of Montreal. Zhe really wanted to get more honor than the Golden Family, so he thought, why can't he let the rat men wreak havoc and turn the earth into scorched earth, and then I can take it back?"
"At this time, in the first thousand years of Saint Laurent's calendar, a turbulent year when the gods lost contact, the betrayer began to expand. The deaths of tens of millions of innocent people became a stepping stone for his ambition, while the living were kept in the dark. They thought that the executioner who caused everything to happen was their hero - what an ironic and ridiculous scene..."
Annan put down the newspaper.
Evelyn did a great job. She exposed the ugliness of the Rekaner Kingdom in a bone-chilling manner, leaving nothing to be desired.
"How is it?" Annan asked Ingrid.
“Are you asking about response or sales?”
"Both."
"Very bad."
The sales volume of "Voice of Liberty" has gradually increased, from 50,000 copies of the first issue to 80,000 copies. The ten thousand shares are the increase brought by the previous expeditionary force. But by the day after its release, "Sounds of Liberty" had sold just over 10,000 copies.
Because the Montreal family is involved.
The Free City's main purse is in the Tatooine Empire. They looked like they had no secrets. The normal distribution of magic newspapers there depends on the friendship accumulated previously.
The nobles and rich people did not dare to say anything, only the other main group of consumers: the mercenaries were filled with indignation.
"Let the news ferment for a while."
Ingrid nodded and walked out.
"By the way..."
Annan wanted to say something else, but there was no sound of Ingrid's footsteps outside the corridor.
"Going so fast?"
......
Interior Secretary Bourque silently flipped through the magic newspaper and followed Evelin's voice to the usual part of his favorite joke:
["A newspaper reporter interviewed the royal family of the Kingdom of Ruikan'er: Some people say that there is a department in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er that is responsible for betraying humans, and the next department is responsible for massacring humans."
The royal family said angrily: "This It’s slander!”
"Slander?"
"These two departments are not next door at all!"]
Burke, who had kept a straight face for the whole issue, finally smiled: "I love this so much!"
Froning, the finance minister next to him, also showed a smile that dispelled the solemnity: "Our magic newspaper is not bad either."
"After all, it cost one hundred thousand gold coins."
"We also found a bunch of bed bugs with their help." Froning added, and then the smile on the face of the decades-old finance minister disappeared and turned into a sigh: "Something is going to happen."
"What? ?”
“If what the newspaper says is false, the Kingdom of Ruikan will not let Liberty City go. If what the newspaper says is true, the Kingdom of Ruikan will not let Liberty City go either. "
"I think Liberty City is very courageous." The nobles hate fools who are too upright, because no one is clean, but Bulk likes this kind of fool: "Maybe they dare to do this. Confidence," Bourque said, preparing to appear in the "Empire" a few days later.
To everyone's confusion and amusement, the "Empire" quoted the special article of "Voice of Freedom" and expressed its gratitude to Annan's Freedom Expeditionary Force for rescuing Princess Seles from the old royal capital.
Affected by the Montreal Mountains, the sales volume of the special episode of "The Voice of Freedom" was almost halved compared to previous issues, and suddenly the supply exceeded the demand, even exceeding the usual sales volume.
The nobles and wealthy people smelled something unusual, and rumors began to spread about "the intervention of the palace gardens on the hills of Montreal".
But apart from the solidarity, there was no movement on Mount Montreal.
The nobles observed for a while and believed that the Ruikaner Kingdom would not suffer the consequences of being dumb.
How will the Rekaner Kingdom counterattack? Declare war? Assassination? Or...
The answer will be revealed in a few days: the magic newspaper.
This magical newspaper called "The Glory of Rikaner" was sent to the desks of the major nobles who were paying attention to this time. It exposed all of Annan's "scandalous things", such as raising orcs and ogres, It is not clear to the rat people that they reused the Olmedo family who had taken refuge with the rat people, defied the alien orders, protected the aliens, etc...
They wanted to use Annan's invention to defeat Annan. As a result, the nobles discovered that the champion warlock had really done nothing bad, leaving "Glory of Rikaner" to only look for these trivial things.
So much so that the "Gemini Minister Weekly", which loves archfire, used Professor Snape's lines in "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as its evaluation: How dare you use my magic against me!
This has nothing negative except to prove that what Annan said is true and that Annan is a really good person.
So much so that the image of Annan and Free City was officially finalized in everyone’s eyes: a lord with a sense of justice and his city-state.
......
"So, I suggest that the royal court send an envoy to contact Free City."
The voice of Tedder Moonstruck echoed in the council hall.
Branches and vines weave the emerald green parliament hall, and the midday sun shines through the shadowy leaves and casts shade.
Dozens of figures sat around the huge tree stump, making voices of approval and disapproval.
The opposition was in the majority. Even though the magical images washed away many prejudices, other elven elders still refused to contact the outside world.
"Even the druids are cooperating with him, we shouldn't do nothing." Tedder's snow-white skin, covered in the shade of a tree, exudes a hazy luster, like a dream.
"If you don't agree, the moon elves will do it themselves." Irilanze, standing aside, agreed.
This caused other elven elders to glare: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Try to get in touch... I saw the shadow of that organization in that boy..." A voice said with nostalgia. An old sigh suddenly sounded from the top of the round tree stump.
"The day of chaos is approaching... It is not a bad thing to have one more friend to fight against Chaos."
When the old elder talked about Chaos, the elves in the council hall fell into silence.
A few hours later, the Elven Court’s intention to form an alliance reached Annan’s ears through the leaves of the World Tree.
Elf? Alliance?
Annan, who was still staring at the Kingdom of Ruikaner, was suddenly hit by an unexpected surprise.
“The royal court’s envoy will leave soon.”
“Who will lead the team?”
“Your elf mentor.” Tedder actually made a joke .
