Chapter 856 87. Everyone fights his own way
“Report! Commander, Annan has rejected your recruitment!”
The ordering soldier stood in front of the map room and shouted.
The new frontline commander of the Orr Empire, Milk Ibe, turned back: "What did he say?"
"Uh... the messenger said he didn't say anything and just drove him away. Come out!”
"Look, what did I say?" Paige was sitting on the sofa nearby, making sarcastic remarks. "He won't listen to you."
The magic radiance and evil fluorescence outside the window are uninterrupted, and the magic and evil energy are burning in front of the first Great Wall.
South of the Great Wall, spells cannot exert half of their power in this magic-depleted land. North of the Great Wall, the evil energy that penetrates is purified before it reaches the ground.
“Isn’t that because you forced them to die?” Milk Ibe snorted, staring at the few remaining chess pieces on the map.
Peg spread his hands and was about to speak, but was blocked by the new commander: "Do you want to say that he is hostile to the Orr Empire, which he has never met before, or is he just causing trouble for you because of the death of a soldier? ?”
Paige was speechless. He also found it unbelievable and could only sneer: "I don't believe you let a floating city float around in the mountains and do nothing."
After all, it is a floating city. The nobles all regard it as a treasure, and only those kind of country mud-legged people would be willing to bring this kind of treasure to the battlefield...
"We and Free City are already very stiff." Milk Ibe still refused road.
"Your kindness will kill you!" Paige accused unceremoniously.
“I just don’t want to provoke enemies to the empire for no reason.”
Milk Ibe's position was simple: whatever the Duke of Kingsley's faction supported, they opposed. They were hostile to Annan for no reason, so they showed favor to Annan.
This is a factional dispute. I oppose your approval and support your opposition.
“Are you sure you don’t want to find a good lover for your dissatisfied wife?” Paige showed an expression that all men understand. Speaking of Mrs. Ibe, half of the empire has heard of it. Her romantic story——
“Get out, you are no longer the commander!”
Paige dusted off his butt and stood up, “Anyway, the Rat Man is coming. Xiangxiang, I should thank you for taking over this mess for me.”
...
Wherever the Rat Man passed, the land was barren, and the sky was shrouded in haze.
With the dull thunder surging in the gloomy sky, the Free City high in the Gray Mountains It seemed to be floating slowly, but there was a muffled thunder because of Annan's words, "Fire a few cannons for the rat people to cheer up."
The noise of magic gunpowder weapons became an advantage at this time——
Whenever the thunderous sound of cannons sounded, the residents of the city would think, oh, the rat people must be like the autumn harvest. They died one by one like a field of wheat. The guests in the tavern were also clinking glasses to celebrate with the sound of cannon.
In fact, not many ratmen were killed at all.
Compared to the joy and confidence in the city that "we are on a floating city that will never fall", the atmosphere in the city lord's palace was much gloomier.
They have failed more than ten times in a row.
Those battle lines were left in shambles, with no trace of survivors.
Unless they fainted, there was no reason why they couldn't see Liberty City floating by and hear the roar of artillery fire.
At this time, the messenger once again sent a message from the Great Wall of the North.
“They said they were grateful to the Liberty City soldiers for their resistance at Camp Hellfire. Also, the messenger brought a marked map and said they knew we were searching for survivors and that there were some coalition forces at the marked defense line. Resistance, I hope we will come to the rescue."
"Why did you change your tone?"
"It is said that this is the order from the new frontline commander."
"Today. Wasn't the earlier order an order from the frontline commander?" Annan didn't understand, but the map with the survivors really helped them. They can get to the nearest place in ten minutes.
......
Above the ruins filled with flames, the screams of the rat tide spread across the battlefield, looking through the collapsed walls, and pounced on the group of people wearing broken armor, in front of the rangers and mages. Warriors forming a wall of flesh and blood.
The rat tide was like a black torrent, roaring and screaming, rushing towards the soldiers crazily.
Every time the sword was swung, a rat was cut into two pieces, and everyone could hear it. to the shrill screams of mice. But the wall of flesh and blood was not really indestructible, and one warrior after another was swallowed up by the black tide.
At a certain moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the sky.
What made the soldiers notice something strange was not the sound itself, but the rat man who suddenly stopped and raised his head. They then looked up -
A magnificent floating city floated slowly with a roar, casting a huge shadow like a solar eclipse.
They were saved.
Dean Blehim opened the portal and let them come up.
"You...are Free City?"
Their leader, a warrior wearing lion heart armor, asked in confusion.
Losi asked with respect: "Who are you?"
The soldier with a brown beard stained with blood said: "I am Captain Anthony."
"Where is your commander?"
"They are all dead. I am now in the highest position."
Loxi nodded and looked at the more than two hundred people who were rescued: "You go to treatment first."
In front of the window of the City Lord's Mansion , Annan watched this group of soldiers from the Principality of Lindsay leave with Losey.
“So I don’t completely agree with the empire’s behavior.”
Annan turned back and said to Olmeido Itilia who was sitting aside. "Those nobles should be awakened, but the price should not be these real soldiers."
"The empire has never thought that after these best and most talented soldiers sent by various forces die, all that will be left will be useless people who hide behind and can only point fingers."
Fortunately, now they There was still time to save some fire... maybe it could help them burn for Liberty City.
Liberty City ascends and heads to the second line of defense.
Annan clearly knows the advantages and disadvantages of Liberty City, so he picks up people and runs away, never staying for a long time.
There is nothing the Skaven can do against the Free City, and there is nothing that the Free City can do against the Skaven.
They can only let the floating city land when they are about to break through the camp, and then use spells, arrows, and artillery fire to plow the ground. When the Ratmen woke up from the crazy bombing, the floating city had already floated away with the survivors.
But after repeating the rescue several times, the enemy rats encountered in the floating city gradually became more threatening.
The most dangerous one was when a group of gray rat priests lurked around the stronghold and entangled evil energy after the floating city appeared -
Those dangerous evil energies knocked out some of the people on the edge of the floating city. The rock reveals the orichalcum, known as the foundation of the world, hidden behind the rock.
Since then, the Skaven seemed to have completely given up on the Free City above them, letting them float around.
But the centurion came to tell me that the rat people are the most greedy race, as good as the dragons, so you should be careful.
So Annan began to think from the perspective of a rat man: What should he do if he encounters such a fast turtle that cannot be beaten or caught up?
