Chapter 785 16. Foothills of Montreal
In the following time, the Fourth Army spent its time recruiting new recruits, training and actual combat.
The recruitment in Liberty City is not ineffective, but the aliens cannot catch up in a short time. And because some places are still enforcing alien orders, they have to avoid human towns.
So Annan asked theaters and commercial streets in various places to temporarily accept foreign races, and he was using portals to receive them.
The one-month period required by the empire is getting closer and closer, and the number of the Fourth Legion is getting closer and closer to 500.
On the last day, Annan said goodbye to everyone, leaving the Hellfire Legion and the Fourth Legion on standby in their respective camps, and took the Dean Blehim's Teleport Express alone with his luggage.
……
The early morning clouds and fog filled the mountainside of Mount Montreal.
Today is not the most beautiful time. If the weather is slightly better, when the morning comes, the Montreal Mountain will look like a sacred mountain under the morning light.
Annan and Dean Blehim appeared outside the gate of Montreal Manor.
The guard knew who Annan was and opened the door to let him in without even announcing the residence.
“Where is Sister Oulin?”
Annan asked the old housekeeper who was driven out.
"She is resting, and the ancestor is in the garden."
"Then I will go to the garden first, and you can help me give this to her." Annan handed the gift for Oulin to the housekeeper, as if Come to the garden as if you were at home.
The ancestor who was lying in the rocking chair looking at the Montreal Mountains in the drizzle raised his head and teased: "Finally thought of coming to see me?"
Annan showed a shy smile: "I was working on the fifth part some time ago. Magic image, the empire came to recruit me just a while ago..."
"You agreed?"
Annan unconsciously raised his chest and raised his head: "Fight the Ratmen, protect Middle Earth, Everyone is responsible!"
The ancestor said nothing and continued to look at Annan with a smile.
Annan's face suddenly fell: "I don't want to come either... The total number of professionals in Liberty City is less than 300, but who asked the emperor to name me and ask me to come."
"Why are you here? Don't you refuse? "
"The Empire gave me the Champion Warlock and helped me so much that you even went to Liberty City to take charge... Although friendship does not ask for anything in return, sooner or later the feelings will fade away. "
"Oh, my little Annan, you look so cute as a little adult." The ancestor covered his mouth and smiled.
“I am already eighteen years old!”
Annan, complaining, opened the wrapped gift and said, "I asked Bronzebeard to polish a pair of more refined glasses for you."
"It seems that little Annan is still thinking of me."
The ancestor held silver-rimmed glasses and looked kind. Annan couldn't help but think that appearance really seemed to influence people's behavior. If our ancestors were as beautiful as they were when they were young, they would never look like this...
A crisp sound of footsteps sounded from outside the garden.
Annan raised his head and saw Oulin rushing over wearing thick leather boots and a smart white lining.
"Long time no see." Annan greeted, "The last time we met was the last time..."
"You're late."
Olin, who stood in front of Annan, didn't even look at the gift. Smile for your sake.
"Late? Isn't it today?"
"No one will come on time, let's go."
"I haven't eaten yet..."
Olin said nothing and continued to stare at Annan - exactly like her ancestors.
"Okay." Annan had no choice but to follow the impatient Ou Lin and looked at his ancestor, "I will go to Mount Montreal first, and then come back to accompany you after I finish my work."
"Okay~ Eh "Where is my Lily?"
Anan opened the portal again and brought Lily over. Then follow Orin into the royal carriage and head to Montreal Mountain.
"Do you have any inside information?" Annan asked Ou Lin.
“About what.”
It seems there are more than just one, there are many.
"For example, when will we set off, and what else will we do..." "The departure time is a secret, only the emperor knows it. As for what we will do..." Ou Lin, "The Great Wall in the North has been built, we need You go and garrison.”
"Are the Rat Men really coming?"
Olin looked forward: "I don't know yet whether it's just a test or an attack, but the leading troops of the Rat Men have already gathered outside the Great Wall in the North."
"Only ratmen? What about demons?"
"They're everywhere."
Everywhere in the physical sense. You can't expect the devil to obey orders any more than you can expect Martin to hold back when he sees an apple pie.
Therefore, there may be a small-scale demon attack on the Great Wall of the North, but there will not be an army of demons.
“Isn’t there any good news?”
Olin thought seriously: “You are the only city lord on the list.”
“Thank you very much, His Majesty the Emperor. So much love..."
As they approached Mount Montreal, their carriage was suddenly stopped by a priest standing in the middle of the road.
He is wearing a white church robe, and the collar is woven with gold wire into the shape of an ear of wheat...
The bishop of the goddess of fertility?
Annan thought about the fertility messenger going to Liberty City and allowed Olin to contact him.
"Is Lord Annan in the car?"
Olin did not look back: "What do you want from him?"
"A group of my brothers and sisters disappeared on the outskirts of Liberty City. Do you know?" Bishop Rich's eyes fell on Annan.
For some reason, that peaceful gaze made Annan feel dazzled.
"I don't know, they left after meeting me..."
Bishop Fertility did not bother anymore, stepped away from the road, and watched the royal carriage pass by.
“You did it?”
Orin asked when they were far enough away.
"Hmm."
"Why."
Annan talked about the blood sacrifice of the Messenger of Abundance in the north of the principality: "When a god who believes in justice no longer restrains his power At that time, He had already collapsed from justice to evil.”
“Well done.” Olin turned around, but the outline of the bishop was no longer visible. "Don't worry, if the Church of Abundance dares to deal with you on Montreal Mountain, they will die ugly."
"Will you protect me?" Annan covered his chest.
"No." Ou Lin glanced at Annan. "You are on the list of coalition forces on the Great Northern Wall. If it is attacked on the Montreal Mountains, what face will the empire have?"
Olin took Annan to a vast camp at the foot of the Montreal Mountains.
All the forces on the coalition list are temporarily stationed here.
They were greeted by an official from the Imperial Military Department. Compared with the other forces who had a straight face, at least when facing Annan, he was just doing business.
"Where are your soldiers?"
"I need an open space and permission to cast spells."
The officials led Annan and Olin to the camp prepared for Liberty City.
On the way, the nobles who learned of Annan's arrival gradually gathered.
They came to see the fun and jokes.
Annan had a good reputation among the lower class, the upper class, and women, but he had a bad reputation among the general aristocracy. .
They are neither as innocent as the bottom, nor as smart as the top, nor do they only care about looks like the women... They only think that Annan is a warlock who got lucky and got to the top by selling his body.
And the total number of participants in this coalition of more than thirty countries and lords was only 50,000... Annan's Free City accounted for one-tenth.
They wanted to see what Annan was capable of.
