Chapter 993 Chapter 224. Arriving at the New Royal Capital
Femi led a group of men around the town and headed straight to the Land of the Dead in the southwest.
The town behind him is still silent and motionless... This scene has already happened once in "Let the Magic Fly".
Femi showed no expression and continued to run out of the dark mayor with his men.
At this time, the guard caught up with him on horseback: "Sir, someone is following us!"
Femi turned around and saw a light of fire emerging from the edge of the dark town. Then, more and more torches lit up from the darkness, turning from sparse stars into numerous stars, and gathered into a fire dragon.
“Great, it seems to work!”
The guard shouted excitedly.
Femi withdrew his gaze and asked the cavalry to slow down so that they could catch up and approach the Land of the Undead.
Will-o'-the-wisps are floating in the Land of the Dead late at night, and the souls of the dead and skeleton soldiers awakened by the strong breath of death are wandering in the Land of the Dead.
As they approached, the owner of this place, a banshee who gave birth to will, appeared: "Irving people, you have rashly stepped into the sleep of the dead, and all that awaits you is death!"
Femi said loudly: "We don't mean to offend, we are just here to resolve the crisis for the residents of nearby towns."
The impatient banshee suddenly glowed with fluorescence and screamed: "Then die!!!"
The cavalry behind Femi drew their magic muskets in unison.
Are magic guns useful against ghosts?
No.
After the magic gun was developed, it was tested with three-color ghosts.
But just as changing bullets to silver slugs and soaking in holy water can effectively kill vampires, engraving exorcism runes on bullets or blessing them can also harm ghosts.
So unlike "Let Magic Fly", they don't need to rely on the power of the people. And the people are different from "Let the Magic Fly"... they are willing to take the initiative to stand up and break the old shackles that restrain their bodies.
Femi showed a rare smile, turned around, and said to the banshee who controlled ghosts and skeletons to attack:
"Times have changed."
He picked up the magic gun and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
The sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky.
The ghost made a sound like broken silk, the skeletons were beaten to pieces, and the banshee's screams and curses were dispersed by the accompanying mage before they even got close to them.
Femi put away the magic musket that was rising in smoke, and looked at the lonely banshee: "I said, we have no intention of offending."
"You broke into my territory, killed my slaves, and said you had no intention of offending." Offended!?" The banshee's icy sneer was like rubbing ice.
Femi is not here to make friends. He said coldly: "You attacked us. According to the laws of Liberty City, you need to go to Liberty City for trial."
The mage accompanying the team walked out, relaxed Catch this banshee who is no longer even an elite without her subordinates.
"Keep an eye on it, it will be handed over to Lord Annan."
There is no Banshee in Free City...bringing it back should please Lord Annan.
"Yes!"
The two guards looked at the banshee. Its skin showed a translucent pale color, its slender figure looked thin and twisted, and its curly hair was flying behind its head. Wearing a tattered long skirt that was like a shadow weaving, it exuded a coldness that was different from the cold.
Because that pale cheek with no whites of eyes does not make people feel beautiful.
“Does Mr. Annan also like this ugliness?”
"The less human you are, the more interested your majesty is..."
Femi glared at the two muttering guards: "Don't make irresponsible remarks, Mr. Annan."
They and the mage suppressed the witch and returned the favor. Not far away, there was some new movement from the residents standing not far away - a figure wearing ill-fitting armor, with fat squeezed out of the gap, came panting and making a sound like the collision of cans. "I...I'm late?"
He had already hurriedly put on his armor and rushed over, but he forgot that he was not the good boy he was more than ten years ago. I also forgot that my body has gained weight and I can no longer fit into the old clothes.
"Are you the mayor of this place?" Femi asked.
"Yes, I, I am willing to join you!"
Unexpectedly, he came to seek refuge.
Femi swept through the crowd: "We are the Hellfire Legion and we are not accepting newcomers yet."
When they showed their disappointment, he said again: "But the Blade of Freedom will Take over here and you can join them.”
"Can I go to the battlefield?" The mayor of Gutou Town only cares about one thing. "I...I can still fight!"
"If the Kingdom of Ruikaner can't think about it."
...
The exhaled large white mist swirled like smoke, Apply to eyebrows and turn into a layer of frost.
The mage's robes stabilize the body temperature, but not the head. When Annan appeared outside the new royal capital, the tip of his nose quickly turned red and his ears gradually tingled.
He continued to look into the distance as if he was unconscious: the size of the new royal capital looked similar to that of Breeze City, but everything was new... after all, the kingdom had only escaped for a year.
The construction of the new royal capital is already the result of the unimaginable efficiency of the bureaucrats.
I haven’t experienced the severe cold in the north for a long time, and I still miss it a bit...
The city gate in front of me is quite prosperous, with a long queue of several hundred meters. Annan and Maria, who had dyed blond hair, walked into the team and inquired about these merchants who were transporting supplies from the north and the west coast.
They complained about the blockade in Liberty City, unaware that the culprits were right in front of them.
Annan thought they were farting. These businessmen were either gray gloves or seeking huge profits. It was as if Liberty City had not launched a blockade and civilians could buy food at low prices.
The team moved very slowly. After standing in the cold wind for more than ten minutes, the team was halfway forward.
Looking forward, Annan understood the reason for the crowding: they were paying the city fee.
The entrance fee to the city is 3 copper coins per person. If you bring goods, you will have to pay extra. According to this estimate, if 100,000 people enter the city every day, it will be 30 gold coins, which is 1,000 gold coins a year, and there is no cost.
Liberty City will never charge this kind of money because Annan looks down on efficiency.
He summoned the ladies to hold a casual banquet, and the magic stones sold were enough for the new king to collect the city fee for several years.
Finally it was Annan and Maria's turn. The city guards entered the city smoothly without even looking at them.
Annan finally arrived in his loyal new royal capital.
He and Maria came to an inn owned by Free Blade. As an innkeeper...or rather, the innkeeper who joined the Free Blade was shocked when he learned of Annan's identity and almost closed the door and went out of business.
It was Maria who reminded him not to do unnecessary things.
Apart from the military minister, not many people knew about Annan's trip. In order to avoid being discovered, even Ilimoyas was temporarily sent back to Liberty City by Annan.
Ask the tavern owner to find a messenger, and then ask the messenger to contact the Minister of Military Affairs. Annan sat on the second floor of the hotel, quietly waiting to meet.
About two hours later, a sound of footsteps different from other guests appeared outside the door.
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the door, and Maria got up and opened it.
The military minister in a cloak stood outside the door and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Annan."
