Chapter 1058 289. Stealing chess
Except for the west coast, the Liberty City Legion and the Liberty Blades on the two southern routes encountered varying degrees of resistance, and their advance slowed down.
Although it is still much faster than before.
The reason why the people of the Kingdom resumed their resistance was not only that the nobles found out that the Free City had little desire to attack civilians and formed a militia in order to protect their property, but also that they were worried that if they escaped back to the new king, they would be punished by Mr. Olme. catch.
That's right, Annan's reputation has spread to the front lines, and it can stop children from crying - only for noble children.
In the stories they spread, the new king has a demon who specializes in eating nobles. Anyone who disobeys and flees to the new royal capital will be eaten by him.
When Annan learned that he had become a stumbling block, he was stunned for a while, and then asked the front line to fight back: publicize that the king was a shameful thief and traitor.
Compared with the nonsense of "demon eating nobles", Crowe colluding with the rat people is much more credible - because this gives them an excuse to blame others for this miserable situation.
Clo's stealing of power from the second prince became a topic of conversation among the nobles after dinner - just like tavern guests always talk about women, and women always talk about their neighbors.
There are also some people who are looking for evidence everywhere and find out that in addition to the demon named Olmei Shao who stole the show, there was also a heavyweight who was under martial law in the capital not long ago, and a bunch of ratmen appeared and arrested Archduke Babatord. information.
At the same time, Annan cooperated with the front line and specifically asked Maria to lead people to find a few nobles who had escaped from the front line and find an excuse to hang them -
No one spoke up for them. One is that Olmedo is gaining momentum, and the other is that the new royal capital is only so big, and one more noble means one more person to grab territory and share the cake.
When the nobles took a look, they saw that the front line was the Blade of Freedom with the slogan of liberating the kingdom, the rear was a confusing coup, and the territory was full of rumors...
I had only brought knights to bully bandits and bullies. The civilian nobles had never experienced this kind of thing, and they were immediately divided into two camps: those who surrendered to the Blade of Freedom and those who haven't surrendered to the Blade of Freedom yet.
The Blade of Freedom does not bully civilians, nor does it have any grudge against the soldiers, and it is powerful. Often they just arrive,
The fall of a kingdom never disappears quietly around the corner. It’s a house whose load-bearing capacity has disappeared. It may still look bright on the outside, but maybe at a certain moment, at a certain node, with just a gentle push, the seemingly solid house will collapse.
Mondo collar.
Located in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Before the war started, Little Small and his staff made many plans, including but not limited to sending rangers to infiltrate, besiege, persuade to surrender, bypass and other suggestions, but they were all rejected.
They must pass here before December 12th, join up with the main army on the flanks, and then face the vast plains and reach the Sunset Plains of the new royal capital. There wasn't much time to waste in Mondo Collin.
The order sent from the city lord's palace was to launch a strong attack early in the morning.
The frontline soldiers did not doubt his presence. They mobilized their soldiers and huddled beside the fire on the eve of dawn, quietly waiting for the attack to arrive.
The first rays of dawn shine on the highest peaks of Mondoland.
The Blade of Freedom outside the valley seemed to wake up from its slumber and blow its distant horn.
Woo——Woo——
The ground began to tremble as the army advanced.
The dull sound of drums and footsteps mixed together, and the darkness made the soldiers on the city wall swallow their saliva.
Even if the city wall is strong and the food in the territory is enough for them to last for three months, they still have no confidence...
The knights in the front charge, and the mage group in the back stands still and begins to brew spells .
Seeing that the spell was about to take shape, the knight was about to rush to the city, and the closed city gate was suddenly opened.
The captain of Lord Mondo's guard stood in front of the city gate, waving his hands and shouting: "I know where the noble old dog is hiding! Follow me!"
The knight rushed into the city gate without any resistance. Ten minutes later, the banner of the Free Blade was raised in the Lord's Castle.
Little Smo and the others climbed to the top of the city and looked to the north.
Next, they were only separated from the new king's capital by a sunset plain as flat as a chessboard.
……
Annan got the battle report and couldn't believe it when he saw that the Blade of Freedom had more than a dozen knights.
"A dozen knights?" Annan emphasized on the knights.
"They were carefully trained by the nobles, and they all took advantage of us." "A dozen knights?" Annan emphasized the number again.
“This is the battle report from two days ago, there should be almost 20 now.”
Annan has never fought such a wealthy battle!
The blade of freedom on the front line is getting closer and closer, becoming more and more unstoppable. The nobles scratched their heads and couldn't figure out how the Freedom Blade composed of a group of mud-legged people suddenly became more powerful than them?
They attributed it to the war with the Skaven that consumed a large number of generals and elites, who were taken advantage of by the Free Blades.
But when it comes to asking who wants to go to the front line, the palace ministers can't find a suitable candidate, so they shirk each other.
Actually, it’s not that there is none, it’s just that they dare not mention that person’s name...
He is too petty. If you say bad things about him, he really dares to lead people to raid your home.
Amid external and internal troubles, the underground members of the Blade of Freedom developed rapidly for a time.
Having repeatedly made military exploits on the front line, Annan was not idle either. He stayed at the manor all day digging for Baba Tod's Cao Yang.
No clues were found for the time being, but I accidentally discovered another secret den for cultivating dead soldiers.
Annan has already done enough credit, so tell Renaldo the news and let him get some credit.
The main reason is that he is worried that after he leaves the manor, a shameless legend will pretend to be himself and come in to steal things.
Annan had wronged the little bat. He was terribly afraid of the Chairman of the Council, and he didn't want to get involved with anything related to the Chairman.
Speaking of stealing things, Olmedo asked Annan to find an opportunity to go to the lounge as soon as possible.
She suspected that the unfinished game of chess had the next step planned by the Congressman.
Annan thinks so too. But no clues were found, what excuse did he have to go find the chairman...
Need an excuse?
Don’t need it?
The chess pieces are important information and are worth the risk.
Annan asked Maria to keep an eye on the manor, and no one was allowed to enter, not even him, unless he could prove that he was who he was.
“I got it.”
Annan came to the palace and said to the guard: "The chairman of the parliament wants to see me."
Master Olmei is already a familiar face. The guard was not embarrassed and took him outside the lounge.
After the guard walked away, Annan took a look at the lightless lounge.
The Chairman of the Council seems to be absent... Very good, it is just convenient for me to move.
I hope the Speaker hasn’t had time to put away the chess pieces yet.
Annan walked into the quiet lounge, reached out and took out a magic lamp for lighting.
The light spread out in all directions, illuminating a corner of the white mage's robe in front.
Annan held up the magic lamp in a daze, and the outline of the congressman appeared on the edge of the light.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Why didn't you turn on the light..."
"Legends don't need eyes to see." the council leader said with some profound meaning.
After the words fell, the magic lights everywhere lit up, and the lounge became brightly lit again.
Annan stood in the middle, honest and not like a thief.
"Well... Mr. Councilor, it was Senior Staff who asked me to secretly look for it at night."
