Chapter 1046 277. Annan’s Small Goal
"It's too risky."

Olmedo looked at Olmedo behind the portal: same hair color, similar eye color, even about the same height. No wonder the Speaker felt a little emotional when he saw Annan.

She comments on Annan's risky behavior towards Kyle.

"But it's worth it. As long as I'm still in the new capital, Little Bat won't be able to help the kingdom sincerely. And I know Little Bat. He looks gloomy all day long, just like Swarovski, but he's actually the same cold-hearted person. If he knew that Young Master Olme was me, he might be smiling like an idiot right now."

Olmedo had no doubts. As a warlock, this was Annan's unique talent - he rarely misjudged people.

But she has reservations about Annan's description.

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

"Who is the commander-in-chief?"

"Your old friend, Grand Marshal Galkin."

The Kingdom of Damon blocked the demons outside the City of Mages, and with the arrival of winter, the demons lost their desire and there was no war for the time being.

They planned to use this time to recuperate and help Liberty City end the war as soon as possible.

"Will you bring a legend?"

"It's not impossible."

The Kingdom of Dimon declared war not only with the idea of ​​repaying a favor, but also with the idea of ​​helping Liberty City get out of the quagmire and then asking them to help back. Sending a knight group or a magician group is obviously not enough.

要是援军有传奇，那自由城和王国的传奇数量就是1：5变成2：5。如果小蝙蝠能拉拢过来，就是3：5。哪怕不浪费术士保护协会的次数也不会差太多。

“How are our finances?”

“Still healthy.”

"Not bad?"

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

Wars are fought for money. The kingdom is not doing well as the war continues. Their taxpayers have defected in large numbers, and the front is like a black hole, constantly draining the kingdom's wealth.

If the nobles are greedy or lack supplies, the pressure will fall on the civilians and soldiers. Loyalty cannot be eaten, especially with the Free Blade's constant propaganda every day. Once you surrender, you are all free.

Then it became a vicious cycle... the front line fell faster than the new capital could react. Sometimes the news of the fall of the front line arrived before the battle report was sent back.

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

However, Olmedo asked everyone not to be careless just because the war was going well. In any case, the apparent strength of the Kingdom of Recanal was higher than that of the Free City.

They were lame because the power of the kingdom was concentrated around the new capital. The nobles were their foundation, and they didn't care how many untouchables died outside.

Liberty City was not without pressure. Every day, thousands of Kingdom people traveled to Middle-earth by sea or land. Because the Free Blade advanced too fast, they had to assign people to guard the groups of surrendering Kingdom soldiers, and sometimes they had to help them resist the small-scale rat tides that wandered in, as if they were "using civilians to drag Liberty City to death."

Fortunately, thanks to the commercial streets in various places and the excellent reputation, "Let Magic Fly", which is suitable for all ages and can be watched by nobles and civilians, Liberty City can still recover and maintain profitability.

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

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

"why?"

"The Empire regards the western part of Middle-earth as its own territory. What does the Empire think of us wanting to be leaders in front of it?"

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

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

The empire was called barbaric not only because of its rude behavior, but also because the Jingguans in the ancient cities did not grow out of the ground. Their external style has always been to hit those who do not obey with a hammer and to chop those who provoke with an axe.

Liberty City was fine because of the relationship between Annan and the ancestors, and because Liberty City was still very weak, so weak that any threat was cute. Just like Lily would roll around 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 guys are really playing dirty politics..."

"what?"

"My shoes are really dirty."

"I heard it."

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

Annan closed the portal with a long tone.

Exhaling, Annan tilted his head to look towards the dark clouds in the north.

A snowstorm is coming.

Annan has always liked snowy days and thinks there is nothing more comfortable than sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, covered with a blanket, holding a cup of hot tea, and listening to the whistling sound outside the window while there is a snowstorm outside the window.

But it was a different story for civilians.

A snowstorm that lasted for several days could literally kill them.

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

They were fast enough, but not fast enough.

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

knock knock --

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

"Let him come over." Annan said, receiving strange looks from his men, and suddenly remembered his identity: "Oh... I'll go out and meet him."

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

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

……

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

We arrived at the royal palace, but it was no longer a palace, but a lounge on the side.

The president of the assemblies sat there, his tall figure looking as if he were still standing.

"Mr. Parliament..." Annan acted reserved.

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

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

"Don't be nervous, just treat this as a casual chat." The Councillor smiled kindly and said, "What do you think of Freeblade?"

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

The Councillor gave Annan a meaningful look and said, "But what you did to the nobles in Hot Street was the same as what happened to the Freeblade."

Annan gave the answer he had prepared long ago: "Because order can bring peace!"

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

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