Chapter 951 Chapter 182. Beware of the Banquet
In early October, when the first snow fell in the distant Breeze City, Annan stepped through the portal and came to his loyal Star City.
"Is this Xing'er City..."
The faint odor that hit his face made Annan a little uncomfortable. Liberty City has been floating in the sky for so long that he almost forgot this "familiar" smell.
Xing'er City still looks old and new, and all the towns in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er are almost like this.
Because I just moved here, the town was built less than two years ago. The city main palace and the surrounding buildings are not much less new than the Free City. However, the various shacks in the outer city made of wood and leaking air make people doubt whether they can Let people spend the winter safely.
Withdrawing his gaze from observing the surroundings, Annan looked at the noble officials around the portal and exhaled the mist: "Nice to meet you."
"Lord Annan, I am the deputy city lord of Xing'er City. Dallaire." Dallaire came forward and greeted humbly.
"Hello."
Annan greeted others one after another. He was as gentle as the rumors said, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Francois sat down after Annan walked around and said: "There will be a banquet later, and all the nobles on our side will come."
"I know..." Annan said belatedly. He raised his head and said, "In whose name?"
"Of course it's the City Lord's Mansion."
"That's good."
Annan's hanging heart was relieved.
The title of "Banquet Killer" is like the female workers in the spinning mill who always pray to the machines before starting work. Although it is a bit strange, but what if it really works...
"Where is Miss Olmedo? "
"She is in the City Lord's Mansion. What do you want from her?"
"About the situation in Xing'er City."
"You tell me the same thing." Annan raised his head and saw Francois's eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just think you seem more handsome."
The Black Widow, who came with Annan and served as the escort, looked at Francois like a love rival.
"How do you know that I have advanced to level six?"
No wonder...
Francois continued: "The Blade of Freedom has currently developed two thousand and three thousand Hundreds of members. In view of the large number of applicants, we have set a threshold. Those who greeted you just now have invitation letters, among which Deputy City Lord Dallaire and Spencer City Guard can be trusted.”
"Where are Lame Babu and Little Small that you mentioned in your letter?"
"I sent them to Yize Bay."
Annan stopped: "Yize Bay? "
"Well, they are all locals, and their appearance is naturally confusing..."
A lame old man and a malnourished boy, even if they surrender themselves voluntarily, the kingdom will have to kill them Blast out.
"Also, the ones who wanted to attack us just now were the Green Rose Knights."
"The Green Rose Knights..." Annan felt that it sounded familiar.
"It's the one that resisted the rat tide on the outskirts of Breeze City. They were temporarily forced back by the Hellfire Legion, but they will come back again."
Annan sighed with emotion, damn Ruikan The Kingdom of Er lets these excellent warriors kill each other.
“Is it possible that they are on our side?”
"I don't know..."
"Try to make contact, and prepare to take all the local civilians back to Liberty City." "Aren't we going to build Xing'er City as a rear area?"
< br>
"Yes, we built Xing'er City into a fortress to accommodate people who escaped from the kingdom, so civilians are of no use here."
It may even be a hindrance. According to the kingdom's style of conduct, they would not care about the lives and lives of civilians at all, but they couldn't.
When she was about to enter the banquet hall, Black Widow suddenly raised her staff and fired an arcane tracking missile that arced across the night sky and hit something.
Then there was a mournful cry, and the falcon monitoring Annan fell from the sky.
"You'd better not stay here for too long..."
"I understand...Are you sure the banquet is in the name of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I'm sure .”
This banquet was very uncomfortable for Annan. It had nothing to do with the absence of women, but because he was always worried about getting into trouble——
As soon as the banquet was over, Annan left in a hurry as if he had arrived in a hurry, so that Spencer couldn't bear it. He asked: "Does Mr. Annan hate us?"
"Don't be like a child who lacks love. Annan doesn't hate any of you, but he has more important business... more important things to do. "Francois looked at the portal where supplies were being transported, "Where are Babu and the others?"
"If we don't encounter the bandits, they should be there soon."
...
Little Small, who was thin, covered with sores, and even the Rat Man found his teeth too rough, was pulling the cart. Lame Babu was lying on the bed of the carriage, covered with a blanket, leaving a lingering stench of decay wherever it passed.
They are poor and tired and look like they may die here at any time.
At the end of the kingdom, all kinds of crimes were not uncommon. Human trafficking and robbery were just the most common ones. There was no shortage of cannibal gangs and evil cults that performed blood sacrifices...
But This group of people doesn't do all bad things. They are as miserable as Little Small. They don't mind playing a sympathetic person occasionally.
Relying on this, Lame Babu and Little Small walked through the wilderness that even the well-guarded caravans were ashamed of, and arrived at Eze Bay.
But this seemed to have used up their luck. They saw a city in the distance, but before they could get close, a group of gangsters carrying sticks rushed onto the road and blocked Little Small.
"Sir...we have nothing."
Little Smoke begged as he had met the bandits before. He was pushed away, and the gangsters swarmed up and opened the door along his nose. blanket.
A strong rancid smell emanated, and the unbearable gangsters dispersed and kicked the truck over.
The lame Babu rolled off the cart with a squeak, and Little Small cringed and went to the side to help him up.
This scene happened many times along the way, and they were used to it. Then the gangsters found nothing, so it was time to let them go...
It was just that Little Small underestimated their ferocity, and the gangsters found nothing, so they gathered together and made a faint murmur.
"Either thin or old... worthless... A few copper coins are better than nothing..."
The gangsters suddenly rushed towards Little Small and Lame Babu, killing them Lift it up.
"We don't taste good! We don't taste good!" Little Small screamed loudly.
"Don't yell, I'm helping you." The gangster's smile was definitely not a kind one. "Seeing how hard you are pulling the cart, I'll help you find a job."
"No... no need to "It's gone..."
"Tsk, tsk, look how thin you have become..." The gangster forcibly hugged Little Small, winked at his companions and asked them to lift the lame Babu, and forcibly searched him.
Fortunately, they didn’t take anything, but they kept the contents of the promotional flyer in mind.
The angry gangsters dragged them into the mountains east of Izawa Bay, even the cart. It's going to snow soon, and such a big piece of wood can burn for at least a whole day.
