Chapter 929 Chapter 160. Declaration of War on the Kingdom of Rikaner
The Musketeers who rushed to various places through the portal cooperated with the local city guards to catch these guys, but the protesters still appeared like rats.
Furthermore, after interrogation, it was learned that among these people, only a few were from the Rekaner Kingdom and those who were paid to do things. Most of them firmly believed that Annan was a bad guy. When they were arrested, they were still clamoring to eliminate the tyranny of Liberty City——
When Annan learned about this, he showed an expression of incomprehension.
“Don’t understand?”
"I don't understand."
"We can't expect everyone to know you. Some people are ill-informed, some are rebellious, and some simply don't care about the outside world." Olmedo said, "You Tell a story loudly in the tavern, and there are still many guests who have not heard the story.”
“It’s not that I don’t understand this, it’s that I don’t understand this...”
Annan said. The words were difficult to pronounce, pointing to the report of demonstrators who were beaten to bloody heads but still shouted.
It's like they're the bad guys.
"This is normal. Blood and sweat mean glory, and showing one's tenacity against powerful enemies is a shortcut to glory."
"Uh... I just want to say, if Ruikaner had been With such a group of people in the kingdom, how could they be bullied like that by the Rat Man?"
Annan felt that something was wrong with Olmedo today, and he looked like he wanted to be his teacher, which made him feel uneasy. She leaned towards the door and asked: "What are you going to do with these people?"
"It depends on the location, but at the least, they will be locked up in a dungeon for a few months, right?"
"Then I feel comfortable... I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll go and get busy!" Annan, who retreated to the door, walked out of the room very naturally.
Annan escaped Olmedo's teachings, but in the end he could not escape the follow-up.
It's not Annan's style to just take a beating without fighting back - at least he should curse a few words back when being beaten.
And the scope of the riots was limited. Annan's influence and hundreds of days of sparing no effort to "smear" the Kingdom of Rekaner had an effect. Except for a few guys who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and some really brainless idiots, most people were waiting and watching.
In the meantime, new issues of "Voice of Liberty" and "Empire" are freshly released.
If Free City boasts of itself, some may still question it, but after the "Empire" stated in a corner of the newspaper that the murder that occurred during the victory parade was an internal strife among the envoys of the Kingdom of Rekaner, no one People no longer believe in the Kingdom of Rekaner.
The joke in this issue of "Voice of Freedom" was also popular at banquets and taverns:
[One day, Annan, the King of the North, visited the Kingdom of Ruikan and encountered several assassinations, so he laughed at Ruikan. Your King. Soon after, King Rekaner came to Free City for a visit and saw an assassination in the square. He said to Annan in a mocking tone: "You are still talking about us. You Free City people also like to do this!"
< br>Annan immediately loudly asked the Guards to find that guy. The Guards lived up to their heavy trust and quickly found out the assassin: the envoy from the Kingdom of Rekaner to Liberty City. 】
……
Framing a lord is a very serious diplomatic incident. But the Kingdom of Recanel seems to have inherited both the savagery of the Montreal family and the recklessness of the northerners, and it really did this.
What makes them most uncomfortable is that three members of the royal family have died in the kingdom, and a thousand-man army is in the empire, which has not yet gained a good reputation——
The worst thing is that they have finished playing their cards and it is their turn It's Liberty City's turn.
While Annan was still thinking about how to fight back, a guy who claimed to be the kingdom’s special envoy came to him and said that the people who did this were the radicals of the kingdom. There was also a group of people in the kingdom who did not want to be enemies with him. He also said There is the Orr Empire involved.
"Do you think I believe it?"
Annan drove the special envoy out and then became thoughtful. "It's not impossible... the Kingdom of Ruikan'er is very troubled by the rat people, and they won't cause trouble for us for no reason..."
Annan also knows that the Kingdom of Ruikan'er is certainly not a piece of iron, otherwise they would not be driven to the seaside by the Ratmen, nor would they unite the country by establishing themselves as enemies.
As for the Orr Empire...
Annan plans to fulfill his promise: whoever bullies him, he will bully the Ruikaner Kingdom.
“How about we declare war on the Kingdom of Rekaner?”
"Don't talk about such a serious topic with the tone of what to eat tonight." Olmedo couldn't help but said, "Now? Our soldiers have experienced two fierce wars. Although they have high morale, I think it is necessary Recuperate for a while..."
Annan shook his head: "I told Francois before that there is a kind of war...it is not called war if it is on the battlefield."
"I am here. Listen." Olmedo sat on the sofa.
She didn’t know that it seemed that the murderer who leaked the city lord’s palace did not include Francois...
Annan had a more suitable example this time: "The two countries are feuding. A country has developed commerce but a weak military; a country is poor but all its people are soldiers..."
"Humans and orcs?"
"Absolutely..." Annan directly changed to these two races: "Humans are not the opponent of orcs, and they are always in fear of orcs. One day, news suddenly came from the human empire, They bought wool at a high price. The price of wool rose in response, but it was still not enough. The orcs soon knew that the orcs owned a large area of grassland and there were not many sheep. However, after making money from selling the wool, the orcs began to buy sheep everywhere and herd them. "
"As the news spread, humans' desire for wool decreased instead of increasing. When a huge amount of money poured into their pockets, far more than they could earn from hunting and robbing passing caravans, the orcs could no longer endure it. Unable to resist the temptation, they spent all their money to buy sheep and sell wool. Until one day, the human empire suddenly announced that it would no longer purchase wool. At this time, the orcs had nothing left but sheep."
"No need for humans to take action. , the orcs themselves were in chaos."
"Have you finished talking?" Olmedo said.
"It's over."
"I almost understand... Where do you want to start?"
"I haven't decided yet!" Annan said confidently.
"Let's have a meeting."
Olmedo said, calling everyone into the conference room.
Olmedo stood up in front of everyone: "Annan has something to announce."
Then he sat back down.
An Nan stood up with everyone's attention: "You all know what happened these days... We have tolerated it for so long, and in exchange, the Kingdom of Ruikan'er has become worse... They are becoming more and more annoying. So, it’s time.”
After that speech, Annan seemed to fall in love with speaking. He took a deep breath: "Declare Middle-Earth that we will launch glorious revenge against the Kingdom of Rekaner! We reserve all means to implement it against the Kingdom of Rekaner!"
"You will ask: 'Our goal What is it? ', and my answer is: 'Victory - victory at any cost - no matter how terrible it is, how long and difficult the road is, win it'"
Olmedo nodded slightly, saying it was as if he didn't say it. It seemed that Annan really hadn't thought about it yet.
