Alien world

Chapter 949 180. There is a Rekanel among us

The outer city is an outer city after all, and cannot participate in the various decisions made by the bigwigs.

But to put it another way, no decision can affect them.

The nobles thought that the Salted Fish Gang was the deputy city lord's gray gloves, and allowed them to expand wantonly in the outer city. After the entire southern part of the outer city was under the control of the Free Blade, they reached out to the adjacent streets and even the inner city at a terrifying speed...

After seeing through the weakness of the nobles: the continuation of the family, Francois used invitation letters as business cards, sending them out to nobles who had little connection with the kingdom and officials in key positions. Occasionally, when he met some capable officials, he would exchange them for letters of recommendation.

Lack of foundation has always been a shortcoming of Liberty City. After so long, except for some elites that Annan brought back from traveling around, the only people in the city are the first batch of graduates trained by the school.

So this is a good opportunity for Liberty City to bite the kingdom's neck like a vampire and suck blood - but at its current size, it is more like a mosquito sucking blood from the kingdom.

Francois suddenly disappeared for several days, and as soon as he came back, he summoned all the nobles and officials who had joined the Free Blade to the Salted Fish Gang's house.

The originally dirty big house was transformed into a parliament. Everyone gathered together and looked at each other's familiar faces. Some of them even had just finished slamming the table and cursing Liberty City in the City Lord's Mansion.

"So you are also..."

The deputy city lord glanced at these faces, feeling both surprised and relieved.

"I called everyone here because of one thing." Francois stood in front of everyone, his posture straight, "I contacted Lord Annan and told him about the recent situation of Xing'er City and our achievements. He asked us--"

Spencer straightened his back as if he was afraid that Francois would not remember him.

"——Develop Xing'er City into a rear base."

Francois looked around at everyone: "In other words, Xing'er City wants to belong to Liberty City in a non-war form."

"This requires the efforts of all of us. The more we do, the fewer casualties Star-Moon City will suffer."

The deputy city lord pondered and spoke, trying to win more favor while his status was still the highest among these people: "I will let my confidants realize the correctness, but the city lord and his guards are staunch supporters of the kingdom. If we don't deal with them, it will be difficult for us to retake Xing'er City without starting a war."

"This is what I'm going to say next. The City Lord's Mansion will build a portal in Xing'er City, and then the entire Free City will be our backup."

Everyone was excited. Although they chose the side of Liberty City, they still needed courage to fight against the Kingdom. However, if Liberty City intervened personally, it would be fine.

Francois finally reminded: "Tell your friends who are still hesitating that if they want freedom, we will give them freedom. But if they still don't want freedom on the day the portal opens, we will help them be free."

……

Francois' ultimatum caused a commotion in the inner city of Xing'er City, and the Free Blade that had been hiding in the dark gradually surfaced.

Civilians lack information and are always the last to know the news, but they are also the best medium for communication, although the information is often distorted... Free Cities that no longer conceal their existence begin to appear in various places in the outer city. Civilians who have been hungry for too long simply cannot refuse the Free Blades that provide low-priced food and free treatment.

The nobles were the same, they tried to contact those who had received the invitation, just to get an invitation. Some people, such as Spencer, turned the invitation into a business.

Sometimes you have to admit the potential of human beings. If it was a stone weighing more than 100 pounds, Spencer would be exhausted to lift it. If it was more than 100 pounds of silver coins, Spencer would be able to drag it back to his treasury. But if it was more than 100 pounds of gold nars, he could fight the ratmen while carrying it!

This guy showed off his recommendation letter which was different from others, saying that he could return to Liberty City to take up a post at any time. He tricked the nobles and wealthy businessmen who were seeking asylum into buying invitation letters from him and having them thank him.

In addition, the Free Blade, which integrated the city guards and the nobles' private soldiers, quickly took over the outer city's defense. As long as they wanted, they could blockade Xing'er City from the outside at any time. And everyone in the inner city could no longer pretend that they knew nothing. It was obvious that it was time to stand in line.

That night, in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord called everyone to a meeting.

Several deputy city lords and officials at the round table looked at each other. Hmm... they were all familiar faces.

The two wooden doors were pushed open by the guards. They looked up and saw Lord Elihu walk into the conference room and stand in front of the main seat.

"I know what you did."

Elihu glanced at the faces sitting in the seats, "Betraying the kingdom... this is intolerable!"

No one said anything, so Deputy City Lord Dallaire had to be the first to step forward: "Elihu, we have known each other for so long, I need to advise you, the kingdom is in danger now, we will only sink with it..."

Elihu shook his head, "My life was saved by the kingdom, and I will only be loyal to Rakanel."

"You still have time to turn back now—"

"It's too late." Elihu looked down at the traitors and smiled happily: "I have already notified the kingdom that the Knights will soon set foot in Xing'er City!"

Dallaire's face changed drastically, and he could no longer keep calm: "You are crazy! Do you know what you have done? "

Another deputy city lord also said in disbelief: "Are you going to take your family with you to be buried?"

"Hehe, at least I'm not as afraid of death as you guys are... It's time to serve the royal family!"

Bang!
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a team of guards broke in. Everyone was frightened and pale, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the leader was Francois.

Francois walked up to Lord Elihu and announced in a cold tone: "Elihu Pez, I inform you in the name of the deputy leader of the Free Blade that you are under arrest."

Two guards walked around behind Lord Elihu and handcuffed him.

Lord Elihu stared at Francois and said coldly, "Traitor, you will have a painful ending..."

Francois said expressionlessly: "Perhaps, but what will be the end of you who betrayed humanity?"

Elihu stood there in a daze and was pushed out of the conference room by the guards.

At this time, Deputy City Lord Dallaire walked over, took a deep breath and said, "He notified the kingdom..."

"I understand. You take people to eliminate Elihu's faction. I want to see the flag of Liberty City raised in the inner city before dawn."

Free Blade gave the people in the inner city one day, and now the time is up, and the reckoning has begun.

Soldiers appeared in various places in the inner city and caused chaos. At this time, the falcon with a letter tube tied to one foot quietly disappeared into the deep night.
