Alien world

Chapter 975 Chapter 206. Poisonous Scheme
After his previous ministers died or fled, Renato was chosen by the king to serve as the kingdom's military minister.

Renato, who thought his luck had turned, was overwhelmed by the flood of war reports before he had the chance to make money like all the officials.

Since it was a war report, it was definitely not good news. However, as the Minister of Military Affairs, he had to deal with it.

The enormous pressure forced him to restrain his edge so that he could roll in the dust.

Ratmen, demons, and the biggest trouble in recent times, the Freeblade.

While Renato was in a state of panic, Recanel was also weakened by the constant blows.

As a result, some evil creatures hiding around the kingdom emerged, cast malicious glances at this weak human kingdom, and took action.

Renato felt that he would soon follow in the footsteps of his predecessors as military ministers.

No one is not afraid of death.

Are those legendary heroes really not afraid of death?

No, they just fell on the road of pursuing faith.

But this quality has nothing to do with a noble or a military minister. Renato is just afraid of death and the difficulty of continuing his family line.

So when the letter of recommendation was placed in front of him, he agreed to Liberty City without much hesitation.

News reached Liberty City that the Minister of War had agreed to cooperate with them. This was the most important official they had won over since launching the war.

At the same time as the news was transmitted back to Liberty City, there was also a piece of breaking news: Ize Bay had been lost.

……

[Letter to Miss Yanes:
Ize Bay was lost.

That group of lowly peasants besieged us. I wanted to serve the kingdom to the end, but they said, "Do you want to make your loved ones and families sad and let the hatred continue?"

I stopped and let them grab me.

I'm not worried about my family, but I'm worried about you... How sad would you be if you knew about my death?

But those peasant soldiers actually confiscated my letters, so I can continue to write to you in the dungeon. Besides us, guards from nearby towns were also imprisoned. It can be seen that Liberty City is serious about this, and they have sent out their most powerful black-armored legion with weapons like fire sticks.

But there is no need to worry. The kingdom was just caught off guard by the attack of these rebels. Soon, the kingdom will send its elite troops to give them a head-on blow.

But my "cellmates" revealed some disturbing news. They said that the rat people are spreading plague on the border... I am worried about my hometown and you.

They were talking again... I heard them say that another group of soldiers were executed by those invaders... I, I may not be able to go back.

My blood will be shed on this land.

Miss Yanes, please forget our agreement, and forget me. If you return to your hometown one day, please build a cenotaph for me there.

Saint Laurent, October 1001, , Claude

Claude raised his head and saw not the clear sky outside the window, but a dark cage.

He and some companions who refused to cooperate were imprisoned here, waiting together for the moment when their fate would be announced.

Da da da--

Empty and chaotic footsteps were heard, and prison guards pushing food carts appeared outside the cell.

These troublemakers who were locked up together became excited and gathered in front of the fence, attacking the Free Blade people with all the obscenities they could think of.

Claude knew some of the reasons why they did this: to provoke the emotions of the jailers so that they would not be able to help but break in. Then they would either kill the jailers and escape from prison, or be beaten to death themselves... It was better than continuing to stay in this dark and hellish place.

The jailers showed their indignation, but no one acted impulsively. They just threw the food into the fence with force.

The steaming bread rolled to his feet, covered in dirt. Claude picked it up and found that it was no longer the black bread from a few days ago.

What's going on? Claude finished his bread quietly with doubt in his mind and took out the letter from his pocket.

"Are you going to write a diary again?" A guy saw that the jailer ignored him and started to make trouble for Claude.

Claude ignored him, so he continued, "What's the point of writing this? Maybe your hometown has been occupied by the Free Blade and everyone has been killed.

"Asshole, what did you say!"

Claude, whose inner self was touched, immediately pounced on the foul-mouthed guy.

The prisoners around started to scream and surrounded the two men who were wrestling on the dirty ground.

Soon, the jailer who arrived forcibly separated the two.

The prisoners, who were originally eager to try, became obedient when they saw the wizard following them.

Claude wanted to be tough to the end, but looking at the young faces of the jailers, he asked inexplicably: "Do you know what happened to Changhu Territory?"

Upon hearing this, the jailer showed a weird, complicated, hesitant expression.

"what happened?"

Claude's heart was in suspense.

……

Liberty City is a peace-loving city.

This may seem inconsistent with what it is doing, but peace is always hard and tortuous, so it is doubly precious and sweet.

The two important border towns of the Kingdom of Rekanel, Xing'er City and Yze Bay, fell into the hands of Free City one after another. The one with the slowest progress was the Red Witch who began to reap the biggest rewards.

She was also harassing towns along the west coast and recruiting quite a few Free Blade members, but she had not yet captured any town.

After all, there are no ratmen coming out of the sea, so there is no threat. In addition, there are abundant marine resources, so the people here can maintain a fairly good life.

So Annan let the Red Witch continue to harass the west coast, and occasionally do her old job - plundering merchant ships belonging to the Kingdom of Rekanel.

There is no rush to erode the kingdom. As winter approaches, more and more people who can't survive will turn to them. On the other hand, the military minister's surrender has made Annan ready to get involved in the new capital.

He couldn't wait to see the day when Clo convened a meeting, the ministers gathered together, and discovered each other's identities: "So you are also..."

It turns out that Annan's plan coincides with that of the Stuhn ratmen to the east - Gale says they are trying to take control of the new capital.

Annan and the ratman reached into the pockets of the new capital at the same time, and then touched each other's hands there.

"Is Clo really your...rat?" Annan took the opportunity to ask it.

"I don't know." It was just a gray-haired mouse, and a gray-haired mouse sent as a spy. It was not qualified to know many secrets.

Maria didn't know either. This kind of important news was probably only known by the rat elders in the Council of Elders.

……

The new king didn't know that they had become so popular that everyone wanted to take a bite.

King Clo just wants all the enemies in his territory to die painfully, leaving no one alive.

In the midst of this, a councillor volunteered to come to the royal capital and said that he had an idea.

Clo received him, leaning against the throne, staring lazily down at the councillor kneeling in front of the steps.

"You said you had an idea?"

"Your Majesty, I have a way to destroy both enemies at the same time."
