Alien world

Chapter 859 90. Words of blood

Knowing that it was not his subjects who had united to deceive him, Crowe's mood eased and he leaned back on the throne.

"What about our intelligence services, what are they doing?"

"They are asking the newspaper..."

Crowe laughed angrily: "You mean, our information is not as good as that of the newspaper?"

"Your Majesty, the Ratmen have blocked our borders and we cannot communicate with the outside world via land."

Chloe's excitement waned and she waved.

The waitress next to her came to the steps holding a tobacco bottle. Crowe leaned forward and took a deep breath from the spout, his eyes gradually becoming confused in the light green smoke.

A hoarse voice sounded: "So, haha... what do you want to do?"

The minister lowered his head: "I think Liberty City's move is a demonstration, and we should counter it!"

"Then do it...hiss...let's do it..."

"As you command, Your Majesty the King."

The minister walked backwards out of the palace, and when he retreated to the door, he raised his head.

In the empty palace, the symbol of Rekaner's royal power sat alone on the throne, shrouded in green smoke...

……

"Subjects do not need to panic about the Free City (you still have many things to panic about). The price of the floating city is not expensive (it depends on who it is). Five hundred thousand gold coins can make a city levitate (your city has Is the nose big?), we can do it anytime we want (do you believe it yourself), but we have to use this money to fight the rat tide (do you think I believe it), the Kingdom of Rekaner is the dream of Montreal Practitioner (in my own imagination), Nightmare of Liberty City (with some truth), Destroyer of the McKeon clan (really bragging), great (bullshit), invincible (bullshit), invincible (completely unreliable) Spectrum), the Kingdom of Ruikan'er will regain its glory (referring to being beaten in the corner by the Rat Man)!"

The content in parentheses is Evelin’s idle and boring addition.

"It's interesting," Annan said.

It is obvious that the status of Liberty City and the Kingdom of Rekaner is moving in both directions——

The Kingdom of Rekaner quickly fell from that position, and Liberty City quickly approached them.

One day in the future, the two will pass by each other at a certain location, and then quickly go away.

"Look at the back again." Evelin tapped her finger on the back of the newspaper.

Annan turned over the newspaper suspiciously and found that the original news content was covered by a messy line of bloody text.

[In Lesio Valley, you will get a glimpse of the real purpose of the rat people, please go there yourself]

"The handwriting is... really ugly."

Annan is certainly qualified to say this.

"Who sent it?"

"Here's the problem. I fell asleep on the table, and when I woke up I saw this line of text on the back of the newspaper. It must not have been there before."

Annan looked a little serious. The problem was not the bloody words, but the matter itself...

"Lilith!"

He walked out the window and shouted towards the mage tower, asking the emerging Lilith if there had been any magic fluctuations before.

The answer is no, then there are only two possibilities: someone sneaked into Liberty City quietly, or someone from outside sneaked into the city.

"Where is Lesio Valley?"

"I do not know either."

Annan took Evelin to the map room next door to find Olmedo. She and her eldest sister were studying on the makeshift sand table in the Huiyue Mountains.

"Look at this."

Annan handed over the newspaper. Olmedo took over and glanced at it a few times: "The Kingdom of Rikaner has no time to take care of itself, and it is difficult to threaten us."

Her views are similar to Annan's.

"Look at the back." Annan's approach was similar to Evelin's.

Olmedo turned over the back and was stunned by the bloody words.

"Evelin doesn't know who wrote it. I asked Lilith and she said there was no magic fluctuation."

Olmedo found the Lesio Valley on the map. It was located in the central and western part of the Dimon Kingdom. It was just a grain-producing land, nothing special.

"What do you think?" Olmedo asked Annan, handing the newspaper to Itilia.

They wanted to confirm that it was very simple. It would take a long time to drift over to Liberty City and find out.

But Annan is worried that this is a trap set by the Skaven against Liberty City.

"The easiest way is to give the letter to the Orr Empire. Whether it is a trap or it is true, they will be responsible for it." Olmedo analyzed, "If the person who left the clue had no ill intentions, why did he give it to us instead of To the two empires?”

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid they won't take it seriously." Annan thought thoughtfully.

"Your warlock talent can even recognize handwriting?" Olmedo noticed the tendency in Annan's words.

"Just...a gut feeling."

It would be unfair to say that the wind is leaking from all sides, but Liberty City does have little protective power. That guy could secretly leave clues while Evelin was sleeping, and he could sneak up on Annan who was running around.

If you want to assassinate high-level personnel, it's not like that guy can't do it.

Olmedo said: "Shall we send a team of soldiers to explore the Lesio Valley?"

"If you don't see the words in blood, you need me to go there in person."

Annan stared at the map. The Kingdom of Dimon was still resisting the rat tide, and the Lesio Valley should not have fallen yet. "Then let's split up. You and Liberty City go back to Gem Bay first, and I'll go to Lesio Valley. Maybe I can catch the guy who left us a bloody note."

When we go to Liberty City, they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. But if Annan goes alone, they are hiding and the enemy is hiding.

"This is too risky." Olmedo frowned.

Annan is good at everything, but he always wants to pursue excitement... Whose leader does not deal with internal affairs, preside over parliament, receive politicians, and spend all day adventuring outside?

"It doesn't matter, I have the talisman of Skeleton King, Mr. Swaro, and Dean Blehim."

Itilia, who was always used to observing quietly, suddenly said: "You can ask Liberty City to follow you."

"Is this different from letting Liberty City go?" Annan was confused.

"You are in front, and Free City is following behind. It will be convenient for support when you encounter danger, and it can also confuse your location." Itilia said softly: "We will have many refugees along the way. This is a good opportunity to absorb the population. ”

And you don’t need to think about it to know that by turning a group of refugees into residents of the floating city, their loyalty will be stronger than imagined.

In addition, Annan also thought that the longer those coalition soldiers stayed in Liberty City, the easier it would be to stay.

Annan, who was moved, said: "Then just follow what the eldest sister said."

……

The high-profile news that Liberty City had drifted away from the Gray Mountains quickly spread. Except for a few people who complained about why they didn't stay in the north to fight against the rat tide, most people agreed.

Annan's age...or appearance made them regard Liberty City as a junior. It’s already great that a new floating city can do so much.

"He's still a kid!"

And it is said that Liberty City did not return to Gem Bay, but drifted to the Kingdom of Dimon - which was also plagued by rats.
