Chapter 592 249. Prepare for war again
“We can no longer rely on others.”
The light of the autumn morning falls on the small coastal town filled with smoke and sea fog.
The harvest season has passed, but in the north of Liberty City, a strange shroud rises over the barren lands.
Olmedo looked away from the scenery outside the window and looked at Annan who pushed Itilia in.
"What happened?"
Itilia's soft hands covered the back of Annan's hand holding the armrest.
"Well... there was a Holy Council held last night, and those guys were still arguing. In the end, they just sent a joint investigation team to the fortress to investigate."
When Annan thought about what he was trying to do, Working with a group of guys like this makes me sick.
This is Middle-earth, separated from Wilhelm by the Obiris Strait. If Chaos is allowed to hit here...it means that there is no need for the Saint Laurent Calendar to exist anymore.
Especially when humans allow this to happen because of their ugly selfishness.
Annan even thought radically that if it came to that, he would give up resistance and lead Liberty City to join Maria. Anyway, I just want to be the city lord of Free City, and it doesn’t matter whose city lord I am. As for the trouble caused to the ratmen and the ratmen they killed... they probably wouldn't mind, after all, even the ratmen themselves were beating them up.
If Maria cannot protect herself, she will flee overseas with the Free City and become the real Free City.
"We are born with difficulty caring about things that are far away from ourselves..." Itilia said softly.
In the final analysis, the Allen continent is too big. It is not their business whether it is just the crisis in the north or the west of the north.
"Yes, so I have thought about it. I am only responsible for Liberty City, my family, friends and people..." Annan looked at Olmedo.
Itilia supports herself, and now she still has her opinion.
“You should have done this long ago.”
Having been taught by his father to be a good city lord since childhood, Olmedo has always practiced this.
Annan's decision was passed without any hindrance. But before making the announcement, Annan had one more thing to do.
sleep.
In the bedroom, Annan, who fell asleep early in the morning, appeared on the edge of the lava lake, and then the surroundings flickered, turning into a familiar yet unfamiliar city lord's mansion... It was as if the demon king didn't react.
"The Demon Lord, I want to ask you a question." Annan humbly said to the Demon Lord who was watching here.
The heroine this time is Evelin... She looks only five or six years old, and the person next to her also looks like a toddler.
A new nightmare has begun, but Annan knows that the demon king is still listening.
"Do you know which demon king belongs to the demon tide in the north of the snow-capped mountains?"
Annan still remembers when Belludonna introduced the abyss and said that the will of the abyss affects the demons all the time, not even the demon king. The law cannot resist the chaotic nature... As long as the demons unite, even if they only unite for a moment, eight levels of the nine hells will disappear.
Fortunately, they can't do it at all, and the devil has been acting as a stirring stick for them to beat around. Annan thought there was a chance to find out something from the Demon Lord - provided that this Demon Lord was not the Demon Lord behind the demonic tide.
Probably not...otherwise it would have no reason to use the blood of madness to control the Montaburlock family, manipulate their lives, and then seek revenge after being destroyed by itself.
The nightmare this time seems to be that Annan and Evelin are childhood sweethearts. They live and play together, become members of the Magic Academy, and meet to visit the Mage Tower... During this period, Annan has been trying to arouse the demon king's attention. respond. Annan thought that the Demon King would repeat the plot of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", but after they entered the Mage Tower, Evelin was suddenly rescued from the tower by a strange young man.
Annan plays not Jack, but his fiancé Carl...
Annan's breathing is stagnant, showing pain - he is pretending. The hunter will only say a few more words out of pleasure when he takes the bait.
This is Leila’s experience.
Annan made a look of pain that was hard to breathe, and said intermittently: "It led its demonic tide to attack the continent of Allen, but you can only hurt me with curses... It's really boring, isn't it?"
"Why don't you try to control me and create some little trouble for it? Then it will no longer be proud in front of you, and you will only see its angry and helpless stupidity..."
Falling to the ground "Evelin" stood up at this time, and said stiffly in Annan's expectation: "You will lose everything about you."
"You mean, it is indeed preparing to launch an attack on Allen Continent Attack?"
Evelin looked at the darkness outside the mage tower: "They will swallow up this place."
These are enough reminders.
"You are really the best demon king in the world! See you later!" A delighted Annan disappeared from the nightmare.
As the only audience member of the stage play left, the stationary puppets suddenly melted with the mage tower, and the twisted heat rose, returning to the appearance of the lava lake.
Hot and boring, it seems like it has been like this forever.
......
After waking up, Annan ran out of the bedroom and couldn't wait to tell the news to his eldest sister and Olmedo.
On the way, Annan became more and more angry thinking about nightmares. He couldn't deal with the demon king, so he asked the maid Abby to tell Fast that Evelin was suspected of puppy love.
Although Itilia and Olmedo were skeptical about "The Demon King told Annan that the Northern Demon Tide was indeed preparing to launch an attack", they still assumed that this was true——
As the projects in the city were completed one after another, many people fell into a state of having nothing to do, and a new round of construction just started to keep them busy.
Next, in addition to the long-planned mage tower and arcane energy core, the northern city wall began to accelerate, and the west and east also began to plan and build a city wall.
The northern city wall is used to prevent the Principality of Montaburlok from blocking the demons, the western wall is used to prevent the demons from crossing the forest mountains, and the eastern wall is for temporary use - not far away is Tatu. En Empire. If even the Empire had lost its territory, the Free City would have drifted overseas by then.
As the only two allies in Liberty City, Annan told Mrs. Winter and Girardi one after another.
Girardi has many shortcomings, but it is difficult to erase his advantages: his belief in Annan and his fear of life and death.
After his request to visit Liberty City in person at an unspecified time was rejected, Girardi began to gather the wealth and population of the principality at an accelerated pace, intending to turn the Watch into an iron barrel.
As for Lady Winter, she promised to move the people there first, but she and Annan had the same view on the dynamics of the northern devil - they would have to observe it for a while.
Ancestor Annan also said it again. She said lovingly that she knew it, and did not ask Annan where she knew it.
As December approached, and the first snowfall in Liberty City was approaching, a news was published in the "Empire" newspaper: the joint investigation team set out.
