Chapter 851 82. Across the Sky
Annan released his sweaty hands that were gripping the balcony fence, raised his hands, held down the cheers around the city lord's palace, and pretended to be calm and said: "We succeeded. ...Glorious residents of the Floating City. "
At this moment, the people of the Free City are praising the greatness of Annan, while the tourists who have not left are desperately trying to find out how to become a Free City person.
"Guards, check the situation in each area."
Losi led the Guards to spread out and check the streets and factories, as well as the edges of the city.
Liberty City has no walls, after all, its territory is always increasing. Losey and several centurions came to the edge of Liberty City. The wind lingering in the sky was excluded by the arcane energy core. Some broken soil and rocks fell on the bottom of the cone. It seemed that even without orichalcum, the arcane energy Nuclear energy can also ensure the overall outline of the floating city - after all, many floating cities cannot afford orichalcum.
The price is that it is easily destroyed when attacked.
Annan finally waved to the people, turned around and took Itilia back to the city lord's palace.
"Inform Master Gini Whiteman, let's start."
Not long after, everyone on the ground watched a slight earthquake in Liberty City, floating directly above the pit.
People who had never been in the air crowded to the edge and looked down at the earth slowly retreating - slowly it seemed, but not much slower than the dragon.
Everyone looked at the earth excitedly, but Annan didn’t like to stay too high. Rather than floating high in the sky, Annan prefers to stand on the earth and live among the light and dust.
And the sea view that could have been overlooked by standing in front of the window was gone...
Annan reached into his pocket and stole the handkerchief when Olmedo saw him.
“There is some dew on the fence.”
Annan pretended not to care and wiped his hands, then sat on the sofa with relief.
The maid Abby was taking Cathy and other children from the orphanage around the city lord's mansion to check if anything had fallen. Layla pushed Itilia to sit aside and said softly: "Annan, Why are your hands shaking?"
"I'm a little afraid of heights." Annan didn't blink.
“Then——”
“It seems to be an illusion, but I always feel that we have become noble all of a sudden.” Annan suddenly said, interrupting Leila’s questioning.
Olmedo said with a smile: "It's true. The floating city is also called Little Wilhelm."
Don't look at the merchants of Wilhelm who always have fifteen million gold coins. However, most nobles cannot save 100,000 gold coins for several generations, and the floating city that needs maintenance is extremely luxurious.
The residents of the Floating City will not be regarded as nobles, but they will be envied.
Martin was originally proud of his relationship with Annan, but now that he has become a resident of the Floating City, he has to stick his ass out and fly?
Losi came back at this time and said that except for some residents who fell because they did not stand firm when taking off, there were no other casualties or building collapses.
Annan pushed Itilia and followed Losi to the edge of the city. He saw that the built road was cut off in the middle and the orichalcum was exposed... This was nothing.
Yili Ruishi led people to build temporary fortifications and set up the orichalcum artillery that was pushed by the soldiers nearby on the fort.
Annan looked at the other orichalcum cannons that had been set up, and suddenly asked them to move the fort five meters to the left.
The distance between these two turrets is asymmetrical with other turrets.
Pushing Idilia back, the Dawn Tavern that she passed by changed from a sea view tavern to a mountain view tavern. Not only was there no shortage of guests, it was overflowing. Guardsmen patrolled the edges to prevent drunken guests or children from slipping and falling.
On the way back, Annan met Evelin again. She was holding the magic stone and taking pictures everywhere. It seems that the deposit of manuscripts that has been postponed for a week will be postponed again.
Returning to the city lord's palace, Annan walked into the map room.
Olmedo was staring at the map in a daze. The two nails and a string on the map represented Gem Bay and the Gray Mountains and their routes.
"How long will it take for us to reach the Huiyue Mountains?" "Before dawn tomorrow."
It was one day earlier than Annan expected, and hope was not too late...
They would pass by a city-state called Torland on the map. "Is there our commercial street there?" Annan asked.
“We don’t have it now, we will have it when we get back.” Olmedo said, remembering something, “Ingrid, give Annan the list of our current supplies.”
“ I'll leave this little thing to you, I'll go look at the blacksmith shop!" Annan said loudly.
Olmedo watched Annan escape in confusion. Is this necessary?
Annan's novelty disappeared quickly, but the people of Liberty City did not. They were curious about everything in the sky. Whenever the floating city got into a cloud and mist, young people and children would run and chase in the mist and come back covered in dew.
Compared with other children, they are destined to mature earlier - parents can no longer lie to them by saying "clouds are marshmallows".
In the afternoon, Liberty City passed the Tor Land and passed over them.
Pedestrians, guards on the street, and lords in the castle raised their heads and looked at the blurry floating city floating through the clouds in shock.
On the other side, Annan was drowsy in the blacksmith shop filled with the sound of forging.
He couldn't help but think of the war in the north. He didn't know what the situation was like...
...
The Ratmen all over the mountains and plains caused the breakout team to continue to reduce in number. Even the mages had magic at their disposal. Muskets destroyed the endless swarms of rats.
As night falls, the team that has been running away for a day quickly makes these mages, who are weaker than ordinary people, a burden and slows down the speed of the team.
The mages could no longer run away and offered to stop the enemy.
They broke away from the large army and faced the rushing rat-men. After a burst of gunfire, the rat tide rushed into the mage group. These precious mages who could usually stop tens of thousands of rat-men died worthless here...< br>
The sacrifice of the mages only blocked the rats for a few minutes. The rat tide returned and the pressure on the battle line increased sharply.
When the warriors could hardly lift their blunted swords, and the front row was about to be overwhelmed, and there was no basement for them to hide this time, Ilimoyas fell from the sky.
She brought the news that Annan would be rescued. Even though they knew that the rescue would be at least a few days away, it still cheered them up.
Elimayas swooped down, breathing out lightning dragon breath to plow the fields where the rats were densely packed. At a certain moment, the evil energy shot out from the rats wrapped around the unprepared Elly. Mayas.
Immediately weakened, Ilimayas couldn't lift her wings and crashed down, shattering the ground and the rat-men. Then the rat people swarmed up and covered Ilimoyas's beautiful dragon body.
Femi led the legion to rush to support, but it was still a step too late... When the surging rat tide dispersed, only a huge keel stood cruelly.
“No!!!”
Awakened, Annan sat up and a blanket slipped from his body.
The sound of chiseling covered up Annan's shouts, surrounded by busy workers.
"Am I asleep?" Annan gasped.
Compared to not dreaming about the Demon King, he clearly remembered every detail of the nightmare...
Recalling the tragedy of that scene, sadness passed over like a torrent, occupying Annan's heart.
I hope it's not too late...
