A strange world

Chapter 1046 Section 277. Annan's small goal

"This is too risky."

Olmedo looked at Olmey after the portal: the same hair color, similar eye color, and even the same height. No wonder the chairman of the Senate was a little emotional when he saw Annan.

She commented on Annan's risky behavior towards Kyle.

"But it's worth it. As long as I am still in the new capital, Little Bat can't help the kingdom sincerely. And I know Little Bat. He looks gloomy all day long, just like Svarro, but in fact he is the same cold on the outside and warm on the inside. If he knew that Olmey was me, he might be smiling foolishly now."

Olmedo didn't doubt it. As a warlock, this is a talent unique to Annan - he rarely misjudges people.

But she reserved her opinion of Annan's description.

"I have good news. The Kingdom of Dimon is ready to join the war to help us."

"Who is the commander?"

"Your old friend, Grand Marshal Galkin."

The Kingdom of Dimon blocked the demons outside the City of Mages. With the arrival of winter, the demons have no desire and there is no war for the time being.

They plan to take advantage of this period of time to recuperate and help Free City end the war as soon as possible.

"Will you bring legends?"

"It's not impossible."

The Kingdom of Dimon declared war not only with the idea of ​​repaying the favor, but also with the idea of ​​helping Free City get out of the quagmire and then asking them to help back. If they send a knight or a magic group, it will obviously not be enough.

If the reinforcements have legends, the number of legends in Free City and the Kingdom will change from 1:5 to 2:5. If the little bat can be won over, it will be 3:5. Even if the number of times the Warlock Protection Association is not wasted, it will not be much different.

"How is our finance?"

"Still healthy."

"Still?"

Before the full-scale attack, we had an income of 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins every month, but now it is less than 10,000 per month.

Wars are fought for money. The war has continued until now, and the kingdom is not feeling well. Their taxpayers have betrayed in large numbers, and the front line is like a black hole, constantly draining the kingdom's wealth.

And if the nobles are greedy or lack supplies, the pressure will fall on the civilians and soldiers. Loyalty cannot be eaten, especially with the continuous propaganda of the Free Blade every day. Once the thought of surrender comes, everyone is a free man.

Then the vicious cycle... the front line fell faster than the reaction speed of the new capital. Sometimes the news of the fall of the front line has not been sent back before the news of the fall of the rear arrives.

Annan's strategy is to capture the new capital before the end of winter and the spring, but now there are more than four months to spring, and the kingdom has lost one-third of its area.

However, Olmedo asked everyone not to take it lightly because the war went smoothly. In any case, the apparent strength of the Kingdom of Rekanel is higher than that of the Free City.

They are lame because the power of the kingdom is concentrated around the new capital. The nobles are their foundation, and they don't care how many untouchables outside die.

Liberty City is not without pressure. Every day, thousands of Kingdom people travel to Middle-earth by sea or land. Because the Free Blade advances too fast, it has to assign people to guard the groups of surrendered Kingdom soldiers, and sometimes it has to help them resist the small-scale rat tide that wanders in, as if "using civilians to drag Liberty City to death".

Fortunately, relying on the commercial streets in various places and the excellent reputation of "Let Magic Fly", which is suitable for all ages and nobles and civilians, Liberty City can still maintain profitability.

"I have an idea. How about we also form a coalition?"

"It's better not." Unexpectedly, Olmedo rejected it outright.

"Why?"

"The Empire regards the western part of Middle-earth as its own territory. What does the Empire think if we want to be the leader in front of it?"

"They shouldn't be so stingy..."

"That's because you don't know the Empire well enough."

The Empire is known as a barbarian not only because of its rude behavior, but also because the Jingguan standing in each ancient city did not grow out of the ground. Their external style has always been to swing a hammer at those who disobey, and chop down with an axe at those who provoke.

Liberty City is fine because of the relationship between Annan and the ancestors, and Liberty City is still very weak, so weak that any threat makes people feel cute. Just like Lily would roll in Annan's arms and bite his fingers, but if Martin did that, it would be disgusting and damnable.

There can only be one leader in a lion group. If a young lion challenges the leader's authority, he will either be bitten to death or driven away.

"You play politics so dirty..."

"What?"

"I said my shoes are really dirty."

"I heard it."

"Huh? The time of the portal seems to be over. Let's talk next time--"

Annan closed the portal with a long tone.

Exhaling a breath, Annan tilted his head to look at the gloomy dark clouds in the north.

A blizzard is coming.

Annan has always liked snowy days. He thinks there is nothing more comfortable than curling up on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a blanket and hot tea in hand while listening to the whistling sound outside the window when there is a blizzard outside the window.

But it is a different scene for civilians.

A blizzard that lasts for several days can really kill them.

Being free is a child's thing, and only adults can see the cruelty behind everything.

They are fast enough, but not fast enough.

Let's set a small goal first, to reach the new capital before the New Year!

Knock knock knock——

The door was pushed open, and the subordinate said: "Sir, someone from the palace is coming."

"Let him come over." Annan said, facing the strange gaze of his subordinates, and suddenly remembered his identity: "Oh... I'll go out to see him."

The people in the palace were of high status, but the envoy was very polite in front of the upstart Olme Shao:

"Get ready, the chairman wants to see you."

...

Annan was not sure if the chairman had discovered anything. He hid the crystal in his lower back, and no matter what happened, he would lie down first--

He came to the palace, but it was no longer a palace, but a lounge on the side.

The chairman sat there, his tall figure seemed to be still standing.

"Chairman..." Annan acted restrained.

The chairman raised his head and paused for a moment on Annan's short golden hair: You are very courageous, even a legend did not bow his head.

"This is what we should do." Annan bowed his head modestly.

"Don't be nervous, just treat this as a casual chat." The chairman of the senator smiled kindly and said, "What do you think of the Free Blade?"

Unsure whether the chairman of the senator would be as tasteless as the little bat and secretly release lies to detect, Annan answered cautiously: "They are the enemies of the kingdom, there is no doubt about that!"

The chairman of the senator looked at Annan meaningfully: "But what you did to the nobles in Hot Street is the same as the Free Blade."

Annan gave a prepared answer: "Because order can bring peace!"

The chairman of the senator did not comment and got to the point:

"Master Olme, do you remember what I said at the banquet that I would give you something? It's time."
