Chapter 854 85. How to turn the floating city into a war fortress?
From its inception, Liberty City had nothing to do with grandeur.

Although it has elegance and planning that would please even the elves, no one would associate it with grandeur.

At this moment, it floats on the plain where the morning sun shines, casting large shadows, silent and majestic.

In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, all the main officials of the Free City except Annan gathered here.

"Where's Annan?"

Olmedo changed into a black aristocratic dress, with a solemn expression, as if the original Lord of Breeze City was back.

"He went to visit the blue dragon." Ingrid said.

"Then let's announce it first."

Olmedo stood up and picked up a tally of the death lists:
"The Hellfire Legion has 5,000 soldiers and 3,868 people died."

"The Fourth Legion had five hundred men, and two hundred and eighty-one people were killed."

"There are 4,200 foreign aid troops, and 2,926 people were killed."

"One hundred members of the elite team, no one survived."

Everyone in front of the round table stared in silence at the list in Olmedo's hand that seemed to be dripping with blood.

The wealth that Liberty City had worked so hard to accumulate returned to the beginning of its establishment overnight.

This is war, victory based on human lives.

They could only comfort themselves: At least we still have survivors. All the fifty-odd coalition forces in the Huiyue Mountains to the north were wiped out. Those who escaped by chance were treated as deserters by the Orr Empire——

Although this emotion was very inappropriate, the hatred brought by the broken tooth and what had just happened made them expect the Orr Empire to make a big fall on the Northern Great Wall.

Just ten minutes ago, a messenger from the Orr Empire came to Liberty City arrogantly, claiming that Liberty City would not last until the 12th, and requested that the floating city be recruited to go to the Gray Mountains to stop the rat tide.

But all the soldiers said conclusively that they evacuated at zero o'clock on the 12th, and Evelin had already gone out to look for evidence.

knock knock --

There was a knock on the door of the chamber. Itilia thought it was Annan, but Olmedo knew that Annan would not knock on the door.

Evelin brought Aloma in and held up the magic recording stone: "She recorded all the scenes of the soldiers holding on to Hell Mountain and breaking through!"

"It seems we can ignore the Orr Empire's ridiculous order." Olmedo breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is evidence that they persisted until the 12th, the Orr Empire would no longer be qualified to point fingers and issue orders to them - if necessary, these records can also be used as evidence to criticize the stupid orders of the "Orr Empire".

"The soldiers have been brought back. When will we go back?"

The issue divided the chamber.

The people headed by Lady Winter didn't want to return to Gem Bay in such a dejected state, they at least wanted to cause some trouble to the rat people.

Those led by Olmedo believe that it is best to wait and see. They don't mind taking revenge on the Ratmen, but they want revenge with a purpose. On the way here, they bypassed the Great Wall of the North, which turned into a terrifying meat grinding ground. Participating in the war rashly may be an advantage to the Orr Empire over there.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere in Liberty City is very harmonious. Both sides are warring factions. One faction believes that the war should be fought, and the other faction believes that the former is not radical enough.

At this time, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and Annan's figure appeared at the door.

Olmedo gave Idilia a "did you see it" look: "How is Ilimoyas?"

"Uh... I gave her a box of gold coins and she was fine." Annan did not talk too much about this sad topic, "I just went to Ram Brat's house..."

"The soldier who wrote the suicide note?" Olmedo had a good memory.

"Well, his brother Rem died in the war with the Mad Dog Archduke."

"This is really..." Olmedo didn't know what to say, "His family must be very sad, right?" "Well, his wife fainted after hearing the news of her husband's death, but his mother was very calm, I guess because it has already happened once..."

The big shots in the chamber listened quietly to Annan telling a story about an ordinary soldier.

This scene would only happen in Liberty City.

"There should be no men in their families anymore, right? We should increase pensions and arrange jobs for them."

"The pension hadn't been spent at that time... That's not the point. When I was about to go out, the mother suddenly asked me, 'Is my son brave on the battlefield?'"

Everyone was in awe of the heroic mother.

"I said 'Yes, he is the bravest warrior'..."

Annan had actually been back for a while and listened outside the door for a long time: "So what I want to say is, we have come, it would be too cheap for the rat people to leave like this."

They still have to fight the Skaven, but not for the Orr Empire.

Olmedo realized this and asked straight to the point: “Whose side are you on?”

"middle."

"I agree with Olmedo's purposeful beating, and I also agree with Mrs. Winter's beating them painfully." Annan spread his hands, "The tide of rats is endless, how can we kill them all?"

"And what's the difference between using the floating city to deal with the rat tide and using fireball to kill the slave rats?"

As for revenge, will it bring about the grudge of the McKeon clan...did they think that they would be grudged by them when they killed the people of Liberty City?
"Do you really want to deal with the McKean clan?" Olmedo frowned.

"That's just a rumor spread by soldiers..."

When magic guns and magic cannons can fire continuously, the number of Hellfire Legions will be greater than the current total population, then I can really hope for it.

The floating city floated to Hell Mountain, and on the way to try to rescue Ymir, Annan sat down in the conference hall to discuss a solution.

Although the floating city is invincible, it lacks effective means of eradicating rats.

"How do other floating cities do it?" Annan asked.

"No one lets the floating city go to war." Dean Blehim said.

Annan didn't believe it and looked at the Skeleton King.

"The number of times the floating city has participated in the war is indeed very few."

"Why?" Annan was confused.

The floating city is not afraid of forbidden demons and is an aerial unit. It is simply a natural war fortress.

"Because the floating city is the floating city of the nobles." Olmedo gave Annan an answer.

The original intention of the floating city was to demonstrate status, not to fight. How can you continue your family if you work hard?
Just like the famous joke: There are only nobles who surrender, not nobles who die.

"Don't you know how to make the floating city fight?"

Skeleton King said: "We know, Annan, but it can't be realized in the current Free City."

A standard combat-type floating city will inevitably have several mage towers used as forts. There is a mage tower in Liberty City, but there is only one unfinished mage tower.

Annan spent all his money on how to escape and defend, and didn't think about offense at all.

While everyone was thinking hard, the maid Abby knocked on the door and pushed the dining cart in: "Aunt Susan has made apple pie and barbecue. You can discuss it while eating."

People who had a headache thinking about it suddenly made a sound of admiration: "That's great!"
