Chapter 1018 249. Rescue the Holy Grail Knight’s Retinue
“To be honest, I’m a little nervous.”
Annan walked around the desk, sat in the president’s seat, and looked out the window at the howling cold wind.
"What are you nervous about?" Olmedo asked.
"You don't know what the president of the court said... He almost described your uncle as the mastermind behind the scenes, the big devil, the wisest man in the kingdom, and the man behind the king."
"I can't remember clearly. The last time I saw him was when I was ten years old." "But do you still remember the fall of Asimov?"
Annan started: "You want to say Is it related to your uncle?”
“He is the think tank of the kingdom. Capturing and executing the chief librarian of the kingdom cannot avoid him.”
“I know, I will stay with him. "
Fortunately, this congressman is withdrawn and does not have many friends, and Annan's status is not high, so he will not attract attention if he takes the initiative to stay away.
"By the way, Agarwal has also come to the new capital."
Olmedo fell silent.
Annan sighed: "Although I hate to admit it, I hate that bastard more than the king."
Although the king colluded with the rat people, betrayed the Holy Grail Knight, and harmed thousands of people, Thousands of people were displaced and the Snow Mountain Fortress fell... But Agarwal abandoned Breeze City!
Annan watched with his own eyes as the tower spirit that lost its owner perished together with the tide of rats that poured into Breeze City. Three hundred thousand Breeze City residents were forced from their homes, and their cries still lingered in his ears.
"Then let's get rid of him together at the last moment."
With the help of Skeleton King Leonefa and the Warlock Protection Association, it is not impossible for Annan to kill them all.
He let the Blade of Freedom sweep across the kingdom, and he waited in the new royal capital for this reason - to drive out the nobles who were hiding in various places and sucking the blood of the people, and let them all gather in the new royal capital.
There is an endless stream of convoys of nobles escaping from other places these days. They bring news that scares the new king and makes Annan happy: Maybe there is no need to wait until the end of this winter, just like a snowball, it is getting bigger and bigger. The Blade of Freedom will be able to invade the new royal capital before the end of December in the year 1001 of the Saint Laurent Calendar.
On the other hand, the Scarlet Witch on the West Coast is holding back. They did not land, but slowly distributed leaflets along the coast - this was the original plan, but who knew that the nobles had no desire to resist. When encountering the Freedom Blades, they either ran away or surrendered. A few resisted until the end, and then were surrounded by the Freedom Blades and annihilated by the main army mixed in the team.
After closing the portal, Annan walked out of the study.
The president was sighing at the window at the end of the corridor. He began to realize the danger of joining the Freedom Blade... but it was too late to regret it.
"Mr. President." Annan walked over and asked the president who turned around quickly: "How much do you know about the president?"
"The most intelligent, powerful and profound person in the kingdom. Unpredictable..."
What the president said is similar to what Annan imagined, but there is one thing...
"Every matter in the kingdom, big or small, must be handled by the Chairman."
"You mean, most of the kingdom's decrees are issued through the Chairman?" Annan caught something.
"Well, the king has always been very sleepy, and he is awake for less than eight hours a day. Government affairs are all handled by the Speaker and presented to the king and then promulgated..."
Could it be that Irwin Augusta was the instigator?
Annan had to think more, because Olmedo's father was corrupted by the Rat Man. Could it be that like old Augusta, Irwin was also corrupted...?
The Augusta family is really full of loyal people...
Ignoring such things without evidence for the time being, and returning the study to the president, Annan took Maria to his loyal dungeon.
The dungeons of the Purification Court house the Free Blades and Free Blade elements captured by the Inquisitors from all over the place, as well as prisoners suspected of being Free Blades.
Annan asked the guard of the dungeon to bring the prisoner's information and walked to the first cell while looking at the evidence listed above. "Are you the Free Blade?"
The prisoner in the cell raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not..."
Annan paused for a moment on the "set fire to kill a family of seven" in his information. "No, you are.", he walked to the second cell.
In the same conversation, the bruised man raised his head and grinned: "Bah... bastard, kill me!"
His profile is "Bewitching neighbors for his own benefit. "Resistance": "You are not the blade of freedom"
Annan walked to the third cell: "Are you the blade of freedom?"
The man with whip marks on his face rushed to the iron fence and begged: "I am willing to do things for you. I know where the others are, and I can take you to find them-"
Annan regretfully After "leading the Blades of Freedom to break into merchants' homes and distribute food and property to civilians", he paused for a long time and shook his head: "You are the Blades of Freedom."
Many of those arrested were Blades of Freedom, but they Not just the Liberty Blade.
After all, the soldiers of the Purifying Court also have selfish desires. What better way to retaliate than to accuse one's enemy of being the Blade of Freedom?
Two-thirds of the thirty or so prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon are Free Blades, and one-third of these two-thirds have expressed their willingness to surrender due to torture.
Their presence gave Annan a headache. After all, if he put himself in his shoes, those hideous wounds made Annan not confident that he could hold on without speaking.
It was Maria who suggested that they had both merit and fault, so they might as well be sent back to Liberty City to be punished.
Annan adopted Maria's suggestion, gathered them together with the silent Blade of Freedom, and sent them back to Liberty City.
Come to the deepest part of the dungeon, where heavy-duty criminals are held: not the big guys in the Freedom Blade, but because they committed a big enough crime - assassinating the king.
Several young followers of the Holy Grail Knight who had been tortured were hung on torture devices, and they were not released until Annan appeared.
"The betrayer's dog, don't bother anymore..." The knight's retinue, who had the best physique and still had the strength to speak, sneered.
"It's too unpleasant for you to say that..." Annan's brows furrowed, then relaxed: "But you are not talking about me, you can scold me even more unpleasantly."
Knight The retinue looked at Annan: "Are you coming to kill us?"
"I just came to ask..."
Annan shook his head and took out the badge of the Holy Grail Knight retinue from the magic ring. , flashing in front of their eyes: "How many challenge points can you get by killing the king?"
"You are..."
The bloodshot eyes of the knight's retinue stared at Annan: "Who did you kill! Koro or Fenmire!?"
"You misunderstood, I Just like you, he is a glorious candidate for the Holy Grail Knight." Annan wore the badge on his chest.
"I haven't seen you."
"Because I just became a squire of the Holy Grail Knight not long ago, under the witness of Knight de la Torre and Knight Naveen."
