Alien world

Chapter 973 204. All roads lead to Liberty City
The sound of soft footsteps on the carpet came from outside the living room.

"You haven't rested yet?"

The footsteps paused slightly, and Olmedo turned into the living room.

Annan looked at the deep night outside Liberty City without looking back: "Everyone knows that I am busy with official duties and never rest."

Olmedo knew why Annan didn't sleep, so he didn't expose him and sat opposite him.

"Are you thinking about Maria?"

"Maria? No, it's bigger than that..."

After Annan established himself as someone who cares about his country and his people, he said, "A sacred council was just held, and it was related to the Kingdom of Rekanel."

"Does the kingdom ask you for peace, or does it blame us?"

"I guess it's a bit of both."

Annan recounted what happened in parliament.

"...I told him that when you start a war, don't expect it to be conducted according to your rules. That guy's eloquence is far worse than mine. He kept saying that he loves his people, and I ridiculed him, saying that the plague doesn't exist? Do you want me to tell you the whole story of the Ize Bay Massacre?"

"How stupid! He actually wants to debate with a warlock, in front of everyone." Olmedo is a qualified listener. She knows when to interrupt the speaker without interrupting his interest and allowing him to continue speaking, just like a succubus knows when to be tactful and when to be loud.

A warlock may not be a natural politician, but he is definitely a natural lobbyist, even better than a bard.

"Hey."

Annan continued speaking cheerfully, "I told him, do you remember the Shadow Town incident? You trapped a group of ratmen that wandered there in Shadow Town. In order to prove that they were no worse than the soldiers in the Snow Mountain Fortress, your soldiers prepared to besiege them, but they were almost wiped out by the ratmen that poured out. It took several private soldiers of nobles from the surrounding areas to annihilate them."

"What do you think Clo said? He was actually refuting the rumor! He said it wasn't the private soldiers who killed them, but winter had come and the ratmen were frozen to death by the snow."

"He has lost his mind."

"Yes, with so many noble people and so many eyes, if there is a crack in the sacred temple, he will definitely crawl in."

"and then?"

"Then he tried to suppress us with internal stability. But he forgot what Liberty City is like. All roads lead to Liberty City! He accused me of building a lot of things for pleasure in Liberty City, such as the Colosseum, the theater, the risqué succubus massage parlor, and the magic street lamps on every street."

"Kro used the wrong strategy. He didn't see how many council members' eyes lit up when he said 'Succubus Massage Parlor'."

Olmedo found it funny. It turned out that Kloé helped promote Liberty City?
"I said that the Colosseum is a place for people to entertain themselves while maintaining their morale. The theater is a place to make money. Don't say that succubi have body odor just because you can't sleep with them. Doesn't the succubus massage parlor just show that Liberty City treats everyone equally? The magic street lights on the street are the basic welfare facilities provided by the City Lord's Mansion to all its citizens. The person in front plants a tree, and the person behind can enjoy the shade under the tree. This is what we have been doing."

Clo made a mistake. He used the advantages of Free City to attack Annan, which was tantamount to handing weapons to the enemy.

"The result was that I won big and Chloe lost miserably."

The meeting was originally held by the Kingdom of Rekanel to accuse the Free City of crossing the border and ask the Holy Council to stop the war. However, due to Clo's disastrous defeat, the Holy Council gave up stopping them.

Finally, the Golden King drew a line in their war: "Keep it within yourselves. The North cannot bear any more unrest."

"I will do it, but I don't know..." Annan looked at Clo.

"Humph, me too." Olmedo was not surprised by this result. If the Kingdom of Rekanel surrendered without a fight, Annan should have broken into his bedroom and woke him up instead of sitting in the living room pretending to be calm.

"You just said Vitalig... is the second prince of the kingdom?"

"Well, I handed his soul box to the Empire before, but they never contacted us or explained the situation. I guess they didn't want to interfere."

The most important thing is that the second prince is already dead. Even if he is "resurrected", he will only become a lich and lose his inheritance rights. So apart from making Clo feel a little urgent, it can't really threaten him. In the end, it all has to be ended by war.

However, this time, as the strength of both sides increased and the Free Blade spread throughout the Kingdom of Rekal, Annan was full of confidence: "We will defeat the Kingdom of Rekal this winter!"

……

The Xinger City trial caused the nobles to panic and the people to look forward to it.

They don't necessarily hate the ratmen that much, just like hunters don't hate the wolves that attack them. They only hate the big guys who force them into the mountains.

The Ize Bay Massacre made it impossible to conceal the plague. Suddenly everyone was in danger, and towns became closed islands. Even the nobles were unwilling to take risks.

The Kingdom of Recanal is on the verge of collapse... This may sound a bit cliché, but the Kingdom of Recanal is indeed very resilient. Even now, there are only a few small-scale rebellions within the country, which are quickly suppressed or flee to the border.

Most people are fed up with this corrupt kingdom but remain silent.

A bad country is better than no country, and a bad defense is better than no defense.

At the same time as the Holy Temple Council ended, Little Smo and his companions who escaped from Ize Bay reunited with the Orc Tribe.

The orcs refused to help, but were willing to lend a hand and take them in temporarily.

With more than twenty undercover agents and an orc tribe, the soldiers of Ize Bay should consider whether they can defeat them even if they chase them.

They rescued little Smo, but the price was that more than a dozen of their companions were executed.

Is it all worth it?
No one knows, but after seeing the transformation of little Smo, everyone feels it is worth it.

Little Smalls is no longer the same.

Liberty City made Small's heart mature, the fake death of Limp Bob made Small's voice mature, and the real death of Limp Bob made Small completely transformed. No one looked down on his thinness and age anymore.

Just like Annan.

Another good news is that the undercover agents have a way to contact Liberty City.

When the portal opened at the agreed time, Little Smokey finally saw Annan, and Annan saw the Howler again after a year.

Annan was delighted that he was still alive, but it was a pity that the ogre was missing.

"If it is still alive, it will come to us when it learns that we have returned to the North." Annan could only say, and then looked at the faintly excited Little Simo: "You have worked hard."

Obviously nothing could touch his heart anymore, but Little Smo suddenly felt his nose sore, and he raised his head and said: "It's all for the people."
