Chapter 929 Chapter 160. Declare war on the Kingdom of Rekanel
The musketeer legions that rushed to various places through the portal cooperated with the local city guards to catch these guys, but the protesters still popped up like rats.

Moreover, after the interrogation, it was learned that among these people, only a few were from the Kingdom of Rekanel and those who were paid to do the job. Most of them firmly believed that Annan was a bad guy. When he was arrested, he was still clamoring to eliminate the tyranny of Free City.

When Annan learned about this, he looked confused.

"Don't understand?"

"I don't understand."

"We can't expect everyone to know you. Some people are isolated from the news, some are psychologically rebellious, and some simply don't care about the outside world," Olmedo said. "You can tell a story loudly in the bar, and there are still many guests who haven't heard it."

"It's not that I don't understand this, it's that I don't understand this..."

Annan spoke in a confusing manner, pointing to reports that some demonstrators were beaten and bleeding but still shouting.

It's like they are the bad guys.

"That's normal. Blood and sweat mean glory, and showing your resilience against a strong enemy is a shortcut to glory."

"Uh... I just want to say that if the Kingdom of Rekanel had this group of people, it wouldn't have been bullied by the ratmen like that."

Annan felt that something was wrong with Olmedo today. She looked like she wanted to be his teacher, which made him feel uneasy. He steadied her and moved towards the door: "What are you going to do with these people?"

"It depends on the local area, but at the very least you'll have to be locked up in a dungeon for a few months, right?"

"Then I'll feel comfortable... I remembered that I have some other things to do, so I'll go and take care of them first!" Annan retreated to the door and walked out of the room very naturally.

Annan escaped Olmedo's teachings, but he could not escape the consequences.

It is not Annan's style to just take a beating without fighting back - at least he should curse back when he is beaten.

Moreover, the riots were limited in scope. Annan's influence and his efforts to "smear" the Kingdom of Rekanel over the past few days had worked. Except for a few people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab something and some really brainless idiots, most people were just watching.

Among them, new issues of "Voice of Freedom" and "Empire" are freshly released.

If Liberty City had praised itself, some people might have doubted it. However, after the Empire News stated in a corner of the newspaper that the murders that occurred during the victory parade were the result of an internal conflict among the envoys of the Kingdom of Rekanel, no one believed in the Kingdom of Rekanel anymore.

This joke from the Voice of Liberty is also popular at banquets and taverns:

[One day, Annan, the King of the North, visited the Kingdom of Recanar and encountered several assassination incidents. He then mocked King Recanar. Not long after, King Recanar visited Liberty City and saw an assassination in the square. He said to Annan in a mocking tone: "You are talking about us, but you people in Liberty City also like to do this!"

Annan immediately loudly requested the Royal Guards to find that guy. The Royal Guards lived up to their expectations and quickly found out the assassin: the envoy of the Kingdom of Rekanel to Free City.

……

Framed a lord is a serious diplomatic incident. But the Kingdom of Recanal seemed to have inherited the barbarity of the Montreal family and the recklessness of the northerners, and really did it.

What made them most uncomfortable was that the kingdom had lost three royal family members, a thousand-man army was held hostage in the empire, and they had not yet gained a good reputation—

The worst part was, they were done playing and it was Liberty City's turn.

When Annan was still thinking about how to fight back, a guy who claimed to be the kingdom's special envoy came and said that the people who did this were the radicals of the kingdom, and that there was a group of people within the kingdom who did not want to be his enemy, and that the Or Empire was involved.

"Do you think I believe it?"

Annan drove the envoy out, and then he began to think. "It's not impossible... The Kingdom of Rekanel is already troubled by the ratmen, so they won't cause trouble for us for no reason..."

Annan also knew that the Kingdom of Rekanel was certainly not a solid block of steel, otherwise they would not have been driven to the seaside by the ratmen, nor would they have united the country by setting up themselves as an enemy.

As for the Orr Empire...

Annan intends to fulfill his promise: whoever bullies him, he will bully the Kingdom of Rekanel.

"How about we declare war on the Kingdom of Rekanel?"

“Don’t talk about such a serious topic in the tone of what to eat tonight.” Olmedo couldn’t help but say, “Now? Our soldiers have experienced two fierce wars. Although they are full of fighting spirit, I think they need to rest for a while…”

Annan shook his head: "I told Francois before that there is a kind of war... not the war on the battlefield."

"I'm listening." Olmedo sat on the sofa.

She didn't know that the murderer who caused the leaks in the City Lord's Mansion did not include Francois...

This time, Annan had a more appropriate example: "The two countries are enemies. One country has developed commerce but weak military power, and the other country is poor but all its people are soldiers..."

"Humans and orcs?"

"Almost..." Annan changed the topic directly to these two races: "Humans are no match for orcs and are always in fear of them. One day, news suddenly came out from the human empire that they were buying wool at a high price. The price of wool rose accordingly, but it was still not enough, and the orcs soon found out. The orcs own a large grassland, but not many sheep. But after making money from selling wool, the orcs began to buy sheep everywhere and graze them."

"As the news spread, the human desire for wool decreased instead of increased. When huge amounts of money poured into their pockets, which was much more than what they could earn from hunting and robbing passing caravans, the orcs could no longer resist the temptation and spent all their money to buy sheep and sell their wool. Until one day, the human empire suddenly announced that it would no longer purchase wool, and at this time, the orcs had nothing left except sheep."

"There is no need for humans to take action. The orcs will be in chaos on their own."

"Are you done?" Olmedo asked.

"It's over."

"Almost got it...where would you like to start?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Annan said confidently.

"Then call a meeting."

Olmedo said, gathering everyone in the conference room.

Olmedo stood up in front of everyone: "Annan has something to announce."

Then he sat back down.

Annan stood up under everyone's gaze and said, "You all know what happened these days... We have been patient for so long, but in return the Kingdom of Rekanel has become even more aggressive... They are becoming more and more annoying. So, it's time."

After that speech, Annan seemed to fall in love with public speaking. He took a deep breath and said, "Declare in Middle-earth that we will launch a glorious revenge on the Kingdom of Recanar! We reserve all means to implement it on the Kingdom of Recanar!"

"You ask, 'What is our goal?' My answer is, 'Victory - victory at all costs - victory no matter how terrible, no matter how long and difficult the road!'"

Olmedo nodded slightly, saying nothing. It seemed that Annan really hadn't thought it through yet.
