Alien world

Chapter 972 203. Confrontation
Annan has never been a person with double standards. He hates evil and hates evil. If he is offended, he will either take revenge on the spot or bear a grudge... But when there are no witnesses or victims of an incident, and there are only groundless rumors, Annan will treat it as if it does not exist.

Maria was grateful for Annan's trust and was willing to help him continue to control Gale. It could also satisfy Maria's desires a little bit - it can't be said that the history of ratmen is unique, but it is definitely rare for a brown-haired rat to coerce a gray-haired rat.

The only problem is that since Annan was replaced by Maria, many people felt that Annan had changed his female companion, and even felt sympathy for Gail.

On the night when the battle report of the prince's hanging was sent back to the Free City, Annan, who was meditating, suddenly had a familiar feeling of being trapped and was captured into the Holy Human Temple.

Annan thought something big had happened again, but he didn't expect that the spearhead of the incident was actually directed at him.

"I, Clo Montreal, want to accuse Annan Reeves, the King of the North, of starting a war in my kingdom!" Clo, who had retreated to the sixth row, stood up.

Annan, who moved all the way from the bottom row to the middle row, found that he had never been so close to Clo, only five rows away.

He originally thought that it would take him at least three to five years to close this distance... He could only say that while he was making progress, Clo was also regressing, and they were running towards each other.

One of the maintainers of human order, the Skeleton King, said in a majestic voice: "Annan Reeves, is this true?"

It was the first time that Annan knew that the Holy Council would intervene in the war between its members. He stood up and said, "It is true, but it was the Kingdom of Rekanel that started the war from the beginning."

The Holy Council was filled with amazement and whispers. They were not surprised by the war itself, but they were surprised that Annan was actually a member of the Holy Council - a free city that was only built two years ago actually had the potential to enter here, why had they never heard him mention it?

And he was sitting in the middle row... This meant that in the eyes of the Divine Eye, the potential of Liberty City actually exceeded that of more than half of the human monarchs and lords.

They looked at the two young monarchs. Clo looked gloomy, a little decadent and worried, with wolfish eyes. Annan looked complicated, as if he was carrying a lot of things, but his eyes were bright and clear.

Even if they are not pedophiles or have any special hobbies, it has to be said that the title of "Champion Warlock" is well-deserved.

"You are lying!"

Clo stared at Annan fiercely like a wolf: "Your army and priests are causing chaos in my territory!"

Annan guessed that the priest he was talking about should be the Free Blade - those leaflets that awakened the civilians were indeed somewhat similar to missionary work.

"I don't know what happened to make you take the action of 'reporting to your parents'..." Annan faced the culprit who brought pain to the North: "But you'd better think about it, what did you do before this?"

"What did I do? Send people to invade your territory?" Cloe asked hoarsely, as if he was really innocent.

Annan shook his head. "No, he was just the culprit who sold out the intelligence and let the ratmen destroy the Violet Kingdom. He also avoided fighting the ratmen after they entered the country and allowed them to break through the Snow Mountain Fortress, releasing the demons and causing the fall of a large area of ​​the North."

Kro was about to say something, but Annan interrupted him: "If you don't admit it, I can find a witness to prove it."

Annan raised his head and the vague figure on the golden throne gave him an encouraging look.

At least two supreme kings are on Annan's side. Although both the Empire and the Kingdom of Recanal are named Montreal, the gap between them is even greater than that between Maria and Gale. And the fact that the Empire did nothing when Liberty City started targeting the Kingdom of Recanal speaks volumes.

Annan was not familiar with the other Supreme Kings. As for the Supreme King of the Or Empire, he might oppose Annan's approval, agree with Annan's opposition... or not.

This is not nonsense. Annan offended the son of Duke Kingsley, and both Duke Kingsley and Grand Marshal Galkin were trying to reduce the conflict, so the attitude of the Emperor of the Or Empire was unpredictable.

"I do not know what you're talking about……"

In front of the members of the Holy Council, Annan showed no fear at all: "Why pretend that you know nothing?"

“…That’s not what I’m talking about.”

Clo escaped from Annan's trap and returned to his own rhythm: "Your priests act recklessly in the kingdom, turning honest and kind civilians into unruly people who only think about rebellion. They attack the residences of nobles and officials everywhere, causing chaos..." His words aroused some recognition. After all, the world is the world of nobles, which is like a steel seal in their minds.

"My soldiers have even found your propaganda leaflets in children's bedrooms!"

Until Annan caught his flaw: "Why are your soldiers in the children's bedroom?"

"Because..." Kro was stunned and lost his rhythm for a moment. He was about to answer, but Annan interrupted him deliberately: "There is something I forgot to tell you. Vitalig is still alive."

Clo's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at Annan.

"Don't look at me like that, he's not here with me."

"You..." Cloe could no longer remain calm, and forgot the words the minister had taught him before. He said stiffly: "Annan, you also killed our special envoy..."

"The Skeleton King is here. I think he knows the truth better than you."

The eyes of the Council were on the Skeleton King. He remained silent, but that was enough to say something.

"It's my turn?"

Seeing that Cloe didn't say anything, Annan asked, "Cloe, why did the Holy Grail Knight die?"

"I...I don't know."

"How does the Nezumi know all of the Violet Kingdom's defenses?"

"I have no idea……"

"You mean, everything that happens in the kingdom has nothing to do with you?"

"That has nothing to do with what I'm going to talk about today!" Cloe gritted his teeth and said, "Your people also killed my uncle, Prince Omo, and hanged him in front of all the civilians!"

Annan said expressionlessly: "I just did the same thing as you did."

"Did you hear that? He admitted it!"

"Stop being so unreasonable, Clo," Annan said softly.

Anyone could see that the balance of the debate was tilting towards Annan.

Although Cloe appears to be dressed up, he is actually naked.

"In the vast continent of Allen, the demise of a country is like a bubble in the sea, which will soon burst. And it is just one of the countless bubbles that are born and burst in the long river of time."

"You're not as important as you think."

Annan raised his head slightly, looking down at Clo as if he were a superior:

"This is my first lesson to you: when you start a war, don't expect it to be fought according to your own rules."
