A strange world

Chapter 973 Chapter 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..."

After Annan established his image of caring about the country and the people, he said: "There was a Holy Council just held, and it was related to the Kingdom of Ruikan'er."

“The kingdom asks you for peace, or does it accuse us?”

"I guess a bit of both."

Annan recounted what happened in parliament.

"...I told him that when you provoke a war, don't expect that the war will be conducted according to your rules. That guy's eloquence is far worse than mine. He kept saying that he loves and protects his people, and I ridiculed him. , The plague does not 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 magician in front of a large audience." Olmedo is a good listener. She knows when to interrupt without interrupting the speaker's interest and allowing him to continue. It's like a 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 rat people who wandered there in Shadow Town. Your soldiers wanted to prove that they were no better than the soldiers of the Snow Mountain Fortress. We were ready to besiege them, but they were almost wiped out by the rat men 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 annihilated by private soldiers, but that winter came and the rat men were frozen to death by the snowfall."

"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 of saying that Free City built a bunch of things for enjoyment, such as gladiatorial arenas and theaters. , a risqué succubus massage parlor, and magic street lights on every street.”

"Crow used the wrong strategy. He didn't see how many council members' eyes lit up when he 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. Doesn't the succubus massage parlor mean that Liberty City treats everyone equally? And on the streets The magic street lamp is a basic welfare facility provided by the city government to all the people. 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 was a huge victory for me and a huge defeat for Crowe."

This meeting was originally a cross-border move by the Kingdom of Rekaner to accuse the Free City, allowing the Holy Council 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: "Keep it 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 Rikaner surrendered without a fight, Annan should break into his bedroom and wake him up instead of sitting in the living room and pretending to be serious.

"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 lich and lose his inheritance rights, so apart from giving Crowe some sense of urgency, it cannot 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 upset 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 at 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 remain silent.

No matter how bad a country is, it is better than no country, and no matter how bad a defense is, it is better than no defense.

At the same time that the Holy Temple Council ended, Xiao Smo and the others, who had escaped from Eze Bay, joined the orc tribe.

The orcs refused to help, but were willing to lend a 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 knew, but everyone felt it was worth it when they saw Little Small after his transformation.

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 good news is that undercover agents 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 could touch his heart anymore, but Little Small suddenly felt his nose sore and raised his head and said, "It's all for the people."
