Chapter 1064 295. Negotiations on the Ownership of the Kingdom

In the evening, the setting sun descends towards the western sea, coating the entire plain in gold - this is the origin of the name Sunset Plains.

The new capital is located on the snowy Sunset Plains. It is not alone, because in the south of the plains, two teams that have fought all the way from the border have officially met.

The Sunset Plains are flat and have no defensible natural barriers.

The poor have nothing to lose, the nobles can stand on the side of Free City, and only the rich who rely on the kingdom for survival are the most panicked.

It turned out that the Speaker of Parliament had disappeared and the King could not be contacted, so they had to try every possible way to save themselves.

Including but not limited to recruiting private soldiers, contacting Free Blade, and looking for external assistance.

The Principality of Keating, the largest trading nation in the Kingdom of Rekanel and the one that made a fortune in the war, received the most requests for help.

At this moment, the twin ministers of the principality were discussing.

"We should help the weak and punish the strong," said the Chancellor, sitting behind a pile of letters asking for help.

"Should we send troops to help the Kingdom of Rekanel resist the Free City?" asked the young Interior Minister.

"Liberty City is too strong."

"We just do nothing? What will other countries think of us?"

"The Principality of Keating is always neutral." The Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke in an official tone.

"So what do you mean by helping the weak and punishing the strong?"

"Keep dumping goods into the Kingdom."

……

Liberty City's victory was certain. Apart from the Principality of Keating, which was waving the banner of free trade, no other force dared to help the kingdom - and they couldn't help either.

Although the main force of the kingdom is still there, almost all the territory outside the Sunset Plains has been occupied by the Free Blade.

The latest issue of "The Glory of Rekanel" was published: The unstoppable freedom fighters are about to break into the new capital.

Olin brought back news from Montreal Mountain that an unknown legendary wizard broke into the Imperial Royal Magic Academy and was killed by the dean and the Mage Tower. Only a few people were injured - this was the official statement.

The truth known only to a few revealed the identity of the attacker and the loss of Vitalig's phylactery, but only a few were injured.

The Speaker of Parliament prevented the situation from getting worse and atoned for his sins with his own life. It would be difficult for the Empire to blame Vitalig, who had the same bloodline as the Montreal Golden Family.

Despite this, Annan still didn't believe that the councillor was dead, and neither did Olmedo.

Would a legendary wizard who treated Annan as a puppet and manipulated him to achieve his goals die so easily?
Would he have a phylactery, too?
Annan didn't know.

Vitalig was visiting Liberty City to talk and negotiate with Olmedo. But Annan would not stop the war. As long as the agreement was not reached, Recanel would remain an enemy.

Annan is targeting Kro, what does it have to do with you, Vitalig?

Whether Vitalig wants Free City to stop or help him succeed to the throne, Vitalig has to offer Annan a reward that satisfies him.

Olmedo won't let him down on this point.

The Free Blade is advancing, and Annan, who is uncontrollable, is even more fearless after returning.

From the disappeared Speaker of Parliament to the Minister of Military Affairs to one-fifth of the MPs, they are all my people. What can you use to fight me?

Renato took the lead and invited several congressmen who were wavering between the Kingdom and the Liberty City in the name of the Speaker's instructions.

As they were chatting and laughing, Annan and his men walked into the lounge.

"puff--"

The moment they saw the aggressive Annan, the parliamentarians couldn't help but spit out the tea in their mouths.

"Reinado, what do you mean?!" one of the congressmen shouted.

Renato stood up and said, "Everyone, I have thought it through. The fate of the kingdom is about to end. Only by joining the Free City can we regain our life!" The parliamentarians looked at each other in bewilderment. Why is it different from what they thought...

"Reinado, are you kidding?" A congressman who was on good terms with Renato frowned.

"No, I am indeed the Free Blade."

An Nan, who was standing next to him, tore off his disguise at the same time: "I won't pretend anymore. I am An Nan."

The congressmen were stunned, their mouths opened so wide that a dragon egg could be stuffed in.

"Then those you caught..."

"They are certainly not free blades, but diehards."

The members of the parliament continued to think deeply. The chairman of the parliament and Orr... no, he was very close to Annan. Then...

"Yes, the chairman of the senator is my uncle." Annan said, guessing their thoughts from their expressions.

They don't believe it, but they have no right to say no. They have no choice but to join the Freeblade.

By winning them over, almost one-third of the parliamentarians in the entire kingdom would be on his side. In fact, he could continue, but Annan didn't think much of it, as most of the remaining parliamentarians had blood on their hands.

Handing the lead to Renato, Annan returned to the Purification Court and opened the portal to Liberty City.

Olmedo and Vitalig's negotiations are nearing completion.

"Are you used to it?" Annan asked Vitalig who was sitting on his left.

"It's just like heaven." Vitalig showed a look of longing that didn't seem fake.

After being trapped in the phylactery for three years, even the dungeon seemed like home to him.

Olmedo waited for them to finish speaking, then changed into formal attire, which Annan seldom saw. Most of the time when Annan was present, Olmedo looked helpless and doting on him, as if he had no way of doing anything to him.

In the past few days, Olmedo and Vitalig have been fighting with the Kingdom of Rekanel as the center.

Olmedo said that the Freeblade was at the gates of the city, the kingdom was in his possession, and Vitalig's help was not needed.

Vitalig affirmed, but he also said that without the Kingdom of Rekane, there would be no country in the west of the entire North that could stop the ratmen, and they would be able to march straight into Middle-earth and threaten the Free Cities.

Annan interjected: “What makes you think you can do that?”

"If Clo can sell the entire kingdom to the ratmen, I can also take back what he sold." Vitalig said firmly.

Annan did not doubt Vitalig's belief. After all, Asimov and the Speaker of the Senate chose to believe him.

What he said made sense. Liberty City couldn't swallow the entire kingdom. If it tried to swallow it by force, it would only kill itself...

The two choices are equivalent to immediate interests and long-term interests.

"cough……"

Annan was tempted to see the look in Olmedo's eyes as he coughed lightly, and he rubbed his hands and covered his mouth: "Well... but let's spit out what we ate..."

"That's your spoils of war. I have no objection. I can even make the kingdom your vassal—"

Vitalig made a shocking statement.

"We don't need it," Olmedo refused, seeing through his trick.

Vassal...will they help the kingdom when it gets into trouble? Given the small size of Liberty City, if they dare to help, they will be dragged into the mud and drowned.

Olmedo didn't really want the entire kingdom; he just wanted to use it as a bargaining chip.

Vitalig just smiled. Politicians are shameless. He has already played this role.

"What about compensation for defeat? I can sign a compensation contract with you as the future king of Rekanel."
