Chapter 949 180. There is a Rikaner among us
The outer city is an outer city after all, and cannot participate in the various decisions of the big shots.
But in other words, no decision can affect them.
The nobles thought that the Salted Fish Gang was the gray glove of the deputy city lord, and allowed them to expand wantonly in the outer city. After the entire southern part of the outer city fell under the blade of freedom, they moved towards the adjacent streets at a terrifying speed. Even the inner city reached out...
After understanding the weakness of the nobles: the continuation of the family, Francois used the invitation letter as a business card and sent it everywhere to nobles and key positions who had no deep relationship with the kingdom. officials, and occasionally they will exchange letters of recommendation for some capable officials they meet.
Lack of background has always been the shortcoming of Liberty City. After such a long time, except for some elites brought back by Annan from running around, there are only the first batch of graduates trained by the school in the city.
So this is a good opportunity for Liberty City to bite the kingdom's neck like a vampire and suck blood - but at its current scale, it is more like a mosquito lying on the kingdom to suck blood.
Francois suddenly disappeared for several days, and as soon as he came back, he summoned all the nobles and officials who had joined the Freedom Blade to the Salted Fish Gang house.
The originally dirty big house was transformed into a parliament. Everyone gathered together and looked at each other's familiar faces. Some people even just finished slapping the table at the City Lord's Mansion and cursing the Free City.
"So you are too..."
The deputy city lord glanced at these faces, feeling both surprised and grateful.
"I called everyone here because of one thing." Francois stood in front of everyone, with a tall posture. "I contacted Mr. Annan and told him about the current situation of Xing'er City and our As a result, he asked us to——"
Spencer straightened his waist as if he was afraid that Francois would forget it.
"——Develop Xing'er City into the rear."
Francois looked around at everyone: "In other words, Xing'er City should belong to the Free City in a non-war form. ”
"This requires the efforts of all of us. The more we do, the smaller the casualties will be in Xingyue City."
The deputy city lord said in a deep voice, wanting to gain more favor while his status is still the highest among these people. : "I will let my cronies realize that it is correct, but the city lord and his guards are staunch supporters of the kingdom. If we do not deal with them, it will be difficult for us to take back Xing'er City without starting a war."
"This is what I am going to say next. The City Lord's Mansion will set up a portal in Xing'er City, and then the entire Free City will be our backup."
Everyone got excited. Although they chose Liberty City's side, they still need to muster the courage to fight against the kingdom, but it would be fine if Liberty City personally intervened.
Francois finally reminded: "Tell your friends who are still hesitating, they want freedom, we will give them freedom. But if they don't want freedom on the day the portal opens, we will help them Free.”
...
Francois's ultimatum caused a commotion in the inner city of Star City, and the Blade of Freedom that was originally hidden in the dark gradually surfaced.
Civilians lack information and are always the last to know the news, but they are also the best medium for dissemination, although it is often distorted... The Free City, which no longer conceals its existence, begins to appear all over the outer city. I am hungry. For too long, civilians simply cannot refuse the Blade of Freedom, which provides low-priced food and free treatment.
The same goes for nobles. They try their best to contact the person who got the invitation letter, just to get an invitation letter too. Others have turned invitations into business, like Spencer.
Sometimes you have to admit the potential of human beings. If it were more than a hundred pounds of stone, Spencer would definitely be exhausted from lifting it. If it were more than a hundred pounds of silver coins, Spencer would surely be able to drag it back to his treasury. But if it were more than a hundred pounds of kinnar, he could carry it while fighting the rat men!
This guy showed off his letter of recommendation that was different from others, saying that he could return to Liberty City to work at any time, and deceived the noble and wealthy businessmen seeking asylum into buying invitations from him and thanking him.
In addition, the Free Blades, which integrated the city guards and the private soldiers of the nobles, quickly took over the defense of the outer city. They can block Xing'er City from the outside at any time if they want. And everyone in the inner city can no longer pretend to know nothing. It is obvious that the time has come to take sides.
That night, in the conference room of the city lord's mansion, the city lord summoned everyone for a meeting.
The deputy city lords and officials in front of the round table looked at each other, well... they were all familiar faces.
The two wooden doors were pushed open by the guards. They raised their heads and watched Lord Elihu enter the conference room and stand in front of the main seat.
"I know what you have done."
Elaihu glanced at the faces on the seats, "Betraying the kingdom... This is something that cannot be tolerated!"< br>
No one said anything, and Deputy City Lord Dallaire had to be the first to stand up: "Elaihu, we have known each other for so long, and I need to advise you. The kingdom is in danger now, and we will only sink with it. ..."
Elaixiu shook his head: "My life was saved by the kingdom, and I will only be loyal to Ruikaner."
"It's still too late for you to turn back now -"
"It's too late." Elihu looked down at the traitors and smiled happily: "I have informed the kingdom that the Knights are about to set foot in Xing'er City!"< br>
Dallaire's face changed drastically, and he could no longer maintain his composure: "You are simply crazy! Do you know what you have done!?"
Another deputy city lord also said in disbelief: " Do you want to be buried with your family?”
“Haha, at least I won’t be as afraid of death as you are... The time has come to serve the royal family!”
Bang!
A sudden loud noise was heard, and a group of guards broke through the door. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the leader was Francois.
Francois walked up to Lord Elihu and announced in a cold tone: "Elhu Paez, in the name of the deputy leader of the Freedom Blade, I inform you that you have been arrested. ”
Two guards walked around behind Lord Elihu and cuffed the chains.
The Lord of Elixiu stared at Francois and said coldly: "Betrayer, you will have a painful ending..."
Francois was expressionless: "Maybe, but what will happen to you who betrayed humanity?"
Elaihu was stunned there and was pushed out of the conference room by the guards.
Deputy Lord Dallaire walked to the side at this time, took a deep breath and said: "He notified the kingdom..."
"I know. You lead people to remove Elihu's faction Cut off, I want to see the flag of Liberty City raised in the inner city before dawn. "
The Blade of Liberty gave the people of the inner city one day, and now the time has come to start the reckoning.
Troops appeared across the inner city, causing chaos. At this time, a falcon with a letterbox wrapped around its feet quietly disappeared into the deep night.
