Chapter 928 159. The conspiracy of the Kingdom of Rekaner
"The old King of the North, Annan Reeves, viciously assassinated the royal family!" 》
The bold black title came into view, making Annan raise his eyebrows.
It’s not that the Kingdom of Ruikan’er is confusing right and wrong, but it’s so fast...
It’s only been twelve hours since the assassination happened last night, and the Kingdom of Ruikan’er only took one night. Just got the news and printed tens of thousands of newspapers?
If they had this efficiency, they wouldn't be bullied like this by the rat men, demons, and Annan.
Unless...
"They had a plan?"
Ingrid didn't answer, and Annan continued to read the article.
The article tells that the kingdom was invited by the empire. Monzon, Cynthia and Anok led the team to participate in the victory parade, but they were assassinated by Annan who held a grudge... The details are to pin down what Isa did. Annan's head.
What is worth pondering is that not only Monzon died in the news, but also Cynthia and Anok...
In the king's "script", the three of them were destined to die here in order to frame Annan.
But I didn’t expect that Isaac, who “yearned for freedom”, was actually the king’s man.
Later in the article, Annan's cruelty to the royal family and the empire's protection were also described, putting the Kingdom of Ruikan in a weak and helpless position.
If it were just like this, the Kingdom of Ruikaner at most wanted to pour sewage on Annan, but Annan glanced back a few times, and the entire page and even other pages had his own name...
Is this a special issue just for him?
Annan read on with interest,
telling about the life of "Annan", starting from his childhood. Robbing treasures, raping maids, charging heavy taxes... However, because of too many distortions, Annan was separated from this "submission to attack Annan". It was like watching a man with the same name and surname who did all kinds of evil, and started doing bad things since he was born. A villain who would kick an old lady whenever she passed by.
The only thing that is true is that a certain article revealed that the real Levi Reeves is dead and that the current Annan Reeves is a fake.
"Will anyone believe it?" Annan raised his head and asked Ingrid.
"Even if one out of 10,000 people believe it, there are still many people."
"You are right, where is Olmedo?"
"The City Lord's Mansion is waiting for you."< br>
“I’ll go over right away.” Annan turned around and said to Francois, “I’ll leave the Moonlight Street to you first.”
“Let me see?”
Leaving the newspaper with him, Annan followed Ingrid back to Liberty City.
......
In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, Olmedo and Itilia were both present and had been discussing for a long time.
Just in time to save Annan from thinking too much: "What do you think of the behavior of the Ruikaner Kingdom?"
"To be honest, it's not surprising." There are traces of this conspiracy, and it is even mysterious. Almedo also wanted to do this: "I originally planned to ask Evelyn to accuse them in the next issue of "Voice of Freedom", but I didn't expect them to be so eager."
"It's a lie after all. If you don't speak louder, no one will care." Annan said, "What's strange to me is that they killed three tribesmen and then made up a false and outrageous lie. Why?"
< br>"Annan, have you heard the story of the reverse blood centaur?"
Annan shook his head. "The Counter-Blood Tribe was once a powerful centaur tribe, but every beginning has an end waiting for it. No matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot avoid the fate of decline. Amid frequent civil strife, the future patriarch was born. It tells All centaurs share a common blood. The alien races outside the grassland are the real enemies. They exaggerate their evil and then massacre them in a bloody and brutal way to save the tribe that is about to be divided."
“Sister, what do you mean, am I the ‘foreign race’?”
"At present, this is what they think."
Olmedo added: "If the Kingdom of Ruikan really wants to use us to alleviate internal conflicts, now is just the beginning...I am afraid they will not They will try their best to incite the people and intensify the conflict with us."
"Then let them come."
The Free City has become invincible. What else could a country hiding in the north and forced to survive by the Skaven do?
“Don’t take it lightly. They ended up as they did now only because the rat men were too strong, not because they were too weak.”
Not to mention anything else, there are at least three legendary mages in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er. For this alone, Liberty City has nothing to do with them.
Annan's eyes fell on the spread out map. The Ruikan'er Kingdom ran to the northwest near the sea, due north of the old Violet Kingdom.
If they want to return to Xingyue Bay without taking a detour, that is the only way to go.
Annan thought of a person: "How is Count Ulmit?"
"He has been asking us for help for several months."
"What's going on!? Didn't we sell him an arcane energy core? Why are there still calls for help?"
"The problem lies in that arcane energy core..."
In short, Count Ulmit saw that there was a floating city in Annan, and he wanted it too. After leading people to search for the treasures of the Violet Kingdom, he finally collected enough money and bought an arcane energy core from Annan at the original price. Then when Liberty City was still on the ground, he couldn't wait to take the floating city... or The floating village rose.
So the problem arises. The continent of Allen is a magical place, and everything follows the conservation of magic - even Martin has to eat a few apple pies before he is willing to work, let alone the floating city floating in the sky.
Count Ulmit soon discovered that life with a floating city was not wonderful. Water, food, resources... all need to be delivered one trip at a time. Although countless survivors came after hearing the news, these penniless people only increased the burden.
He couldn't land. Because the ground is full of rat-men, falling back is like inviting the rat-men to dinner.
In order to survive, Count Ulmit had to sell off his property, make a lot of money, and then give it all to Liberty City in exchange for supplies and help.
"They also want to sell us the land...but it's useless for us to ask for the land."
Annan was relieved to learn that it was not a rat invasion. Knowing that Liberty City was taking the opportunity to give away a lot of money, Annan wanted to praise Count Ulmit -
But on the surface, he had to pretend to have such a bad expression: "After all, the Count is our friend , and fighting against the Ratmen..."
“So the resources we sell to them are at normal prices,” Olmedo said.
"Then let's wait and see what happens next, and see what tricks the betrayer will play next."
The kingdom of Ruikan'er's back-up plan came faster than expected... The next day , there was a group of protestors outside the Moonlight Opera House. Then news came from various places that many commercial streets were besieged.
But the influence of Free City in Middle-earth is much higher than that of the Kingdom of Rekaner. After all, they actually pay taxes and provide jobs. The men were easily dispersed.
On the third day, the protests suddenly intensified. People with ulterior motives coerced poor people into the commercial street, looted wantonly, and burned down a theater.
