Chapter 973 204. All roads lead to Liberty City
The sound of gentle footsteps on the carpet came from outside the living room.
“You haven’t rested yet?”
The footsteps paused slightly, and Olmedo turned into the living room.
Annan looked at the deep night outside Liberty City without looking back: "Everyone in the world knows that I am busy with official duties and never rest."
Olmedo knew why Annan was not sleeping, so he did not expose him and sat opposite him.
"Are you thinking about Maria?"
"Maria? No, it's bigger than this..."
Annan established himself as a country-worried person After showing the image of the people, he said: "There was a holy council just now, related to the Kingdom of Ruikan'er."
"The kingdom is asking you for peace, or is it blaming us?"
"I guess it's both."
Annan recounted what happened in parliament.
“…I told him that when you provoke a war, don’t expect that the war will proceed according to your rules. That guy’s eloquence is far worse than mine. He keeps saying that he loves his children. People, I just satirized him, the plague doesn’t exist? Do you want me to tell you the whole story of the Yize Bay Massacre?”
“It’s so stupid that he actually wants to argue with a warlock in front of the public. "Olmedo is a good listener. She knows when to interrupt without interrupting the speaker's interest and still allowing him to continue talking, just like the succubus knows when to be tactful and when to be loud.
Warlocks may not be born politicians, but they must be born lobbyists, even bards cannot compare.
"Hey."
Annan continued talking happily: "I told him, do you still remember the Shadow Town incident? You originally surrounded a group of ratmen who wandered there and trapped them in Shadow Town. In order to prove that you are no worse than the soldiers of the Snow Mountain Fortress, your soldiers prepared to besiege, but they were almost wiped out by the ratmen who came out. It took several private soldiers of the nobles from the surrounding area to annihilate them. "
"Guess what Crowe said? He was actually refuting the rumor! He said that it was not the private soldiers who annihilated them, but that winter came and the rat men were frozen to death by the snow."
"He has lost his mind."
"Yes, there are so many noble people and so many pairs of eyes. If there is a crack in the sacred temple, he will definitely get in."
"Then what?"
"Then he tried to suppress us with internal stability. But he forgot what Free City was like. All roads lead to Free City! He accused me that Free City built a lot of Things used for pleasure, such as gladiatorial arenas, theaters, risqué succubus massage parlors, and magic street lights on every street. "
" Crowe used the wrong strategy, he didn't look at it. How many council members' eyes lit up when they said 'Succubus Massage Parlor'?"
Olmedo felt funny, but Emotional Crowe helped promote Liberty City?
“Let me just say that the arena is a place for the entertainment of the masses while maintaining the bloodiness. The theater is a place to make money. Don’t just say that the succubus has body odor if you can’t sleep with the succubus. The succubus massage parlor does not mean freedom. The city treats everyone equally? And the magic street lights on the street are basic welfare facilities provided by the city lord's government. The people in front plant a tree, and the people behind can enjoy the shade under the tree. This is what we have been doing."
Crowe made a mistake. He used Liberty City's advantages to attack Annan, which was tantamount to actively handing weapons to the enemy.
“The result is that I won a great victory, and Crowe suffered a complete defeat.”
This parliament was originally a cross-border complaint from the Kingdom of Rikaner to Free City, allowing the Holy Parliament to stop the war. As a result, due to Crow's disastrous defeat, the Holy Council gave up on stopping them.
Finally, the Golden King drew a line for their war: "Control the scope between you. The North cannot withstand more turmoil."
"I will do it. , I just don’t know..." Annan looked at Crowe.
"Huh, me too." Olmedo was not surprised by this result. If the Kingdom of Ruikaner surrendered without a fight, Annan should break into his bedroom and wake him up instead of sitting in the living room and pretending. deep.
"Did you just say that Vitalig...is the second prince of the kingdom?"
"Well, I gave his soul box to the empire before, But they never contacted us or explained the situation. I think they didn’t want to get involved.”
The most important thing is that the second prince is dead. Even if he is “resurrected”, he will only become a witch. The demon has lost his inheritance, so apart from giving Crowe some sense of urgency, it doesn't really threaten him. In the end, war will end it all.
But this time, with the ebb and flow of strength between the two sides and the spread of the Blade of Freedom in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er, Annan was full of confidence: "We will solve the Kingdom of Ruikan'er this winter!"
...
The trial in Xing'er City resulted in the nobles being anxious and the masses looking forward to it.
They may not hate the rat people much, just like hunters don't hate the wolves that attack them, they only hate the big shots who force them into the forest.
The massacre of Ize Bay made it no longer possible to hide the plague. For a time, everyone was in danger, and towns turned into closed islands. Even the nobles were unwilling to take risks.
The Kingdom of Ruikan'er is crumbling... This may sound like a cocoon, but the Kingdom of Ruikan'er is indeed very resilient. Even now, there are only some small-scale rebellions within the territory, which are quickly suppressed or flee to the border.
Most people are fed up with this rotten kingdom, but still remain silent.
No matter how bad a country is, it is better than no country, and no matter how bad the defense is, it is better than no defense.
At the same time as the Holy Temple Council ended, Little Smo and the others who escaped from Eze Bay joined the orc tribe.
The orcs refused to help, but were willing to lend a helping hand and accommodate them temporarily.
With more than twenty undercover agents and a tribe of orcs, even if the soldiers from Yize Bay chased them, they would still have to consider whether they could defeat them.
They rescued Little Small at the cost of more than a dozen of their companions being buried in the execution ground.
Is it all worth it?
No one knows, but when they see the transformed Little Small, everyone feels it is worth it.
Little Small is no longer the same.
Liberty City made Little Smoke's mind mature, Lame Babu's fake death made Little Smoke's voice mature, and Lame Babu's real death made Little Smoke completely transform. No one looked down upon his thinness and age anymore.
Just like Annan.
The other good news is that the undercovers have a way to contact Liberty City.
When the portal opened at the appointed time, Little Small finally saw Annan, and Annan also saw the Howler again after a year.
Annan was happy that he was still alive, but it was a pity that the ogre was missing.
"If it is still alive, it will come to us when it hears the news that we have returned to the north." Annan could only say, and then looked at Little Small, who was faintly excited: "Thank you for your hard work."
Obviously nothing can touch his heart anymore, but Little Small suddenly felt his nose was sore, raised his head and said: "It's all for the people."
