Chapter 993 Chapter 224. Arrival at the New Capital

Femi led a team of his men around the town and headed straight for the land of the dead in the southwest.

The town behind him was still silent and motionless... This scene had already happened once in "Let the Magic Fly".

Femi showed no expression as he continued to run out of the dark town with his men.

At this time, the guards rode up and said, "Sir, someone is following us!"

Fermi looked back and saw a little firelight emerging from the edge of the dark town. Then, more and more torches lit up from the darkness, and the sparse stars turned into numerous stars, gathering into a fire dragon.

"Great, it seems to be useful!"

the guard shouted excitedly.

Fermi retracted his gaze and asked the cavalry to slow down so that they could catch up and approach the land of the dead.

In the dead land at night, ghost lights are floating around, and the souls of the unjustly dead and the skeleton soldiers awakened by the strong breath of death are wandering in the dead land.

As they approached, the master of this place, a banshee with the will of birth, appeared: "Living people, you rashly set foot on the sleep of the dead, and only destruction awaits you!"

Femi said loudly: "We have no intention of offending anyone. We are only here to resolve the crisis for the townspeople living nearby."

The impatient banshee suddenly glowed with fluorescence and screamed: "Then die!!!"

The cavalrymen behind Fermi drew out their magic muskets in unison.

Does the magic musket work against ghosts?

No.

After the magic musket was developed, it was tested with three-color ghosts.

But just as changing a bullet to a silver tip and soaking it in holy water can effectively kill vampires, engraving exorcism runes on the bullet or blessing it can also harm ghosts.

So unlike Let the Magic Fly, they don’t need to rely on the power of the people. And the people are also different from Let the Magic Fly… they are willing to take the initiative to stand up and break the old shackles that shackle their bodies.

Fermi smiled, which was rare for him, and turned around and said to the banshee who was controlling the ghosts and skeletons to attack:
"Times have changed."

He raised the magic rifle and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The sound of gunfire was continuous and echoed in the night sky.

The ghosts made sounds like shredding cloth, the skeletons were beaten to pieces, and the banshee's screams and curses were dispelled by the accompanying wizard before they could get close to them.

Femi put away the magic musket that was emitting smoke and looked at the lonely banshee: "I told you, we have no intention of offending you."

"You broke into my territory, killed my servants, and you still say you meant no offense!?" The banshee's cold sneer was like rubbing ice.

Femi was not here to make friends. He said coldly, "You attacked us. According to the laws of Liberty City, you need to go to Liberty City to stand trial."

The mage in the team walked out and easily captured the banshee who had no subordinates and was not even an elite.

"Keep an eye on it, it will be given to Lord Annan."

There is no banshee in Liberty City... Bringing it back should make Lord Annan happy.

"As ordered!"

The two guards looked at the banshee. Its skin was a translucent paleness, its slender figure seemed thin and twisted, its curly hair fluttered behind its head, and it wore a tattered long skirt woven like shadows, exuding a chill that was different from cold.

Because that pale face that was so pale that it looked blue and had no whites of the eyes did not make people feel beautiful.

"Lord Annan likes someone so ugly?"

"The less human he is, the more interested His Majesty is..."

Femi glared at the two guards who were muttering, "Don't talk nonsense about Lord Annan."

They and the wizard hadn't walked far with the witch, when the residents standing not far away made some new movements - a figure wearing ill-fitting armor, with fat squeezed out of the gap, came panting with a sound like cans colliding. "I... I'm late?"

He hurriedly put on his armor and rushed over, but he forgot that he was no longer the strong boy he was more than ten years ago, and he also forgot that he had gained weight and could no longer wear the old stuff.

"Are you the mayor of this place?" Fermi asked.

"Yes, I, I'd like to join you!"

Unexpectedly, he came to seek refuge.

Femi glanced at the crowd and said, "We are the Hellfire Corps. We are not accepting new members at this time."

When they expressed their disappointment, he said again: "But the Freeblade will take over here, and you can join them."

"Can I go to the battlefield?" The mayor of Courage Town only cares about one thing. "I... I can still fight!"

"If the Kingdom of Rikaner doesn't want to see the light of day."

……

The large cloud of white mist that was exhaled swirled like smoke, sticking to the eyebrows and turning into a layer of frost.

The wizard robe kept the body warm, but not the head. Annan, who appeared outside the new capital, soon had a red nose and a tingling in his ears.

He continued to stare into the distance as if unconscious: the scale of the new capital seemed to be about the same as Breeze City, but everything was new… after all, the kingdom had only escaped for a year.

The completion of the new capital was the result of the bureaucrats' unimaginable efficiency.

It's been a while since I've experienced the bitter cold of the North, and I kind of miss it...

The city gate in front of us was quite busy, with a queue of several hundred meters long. Annan and Maria, who had dyed blonde hair, joined the queue and asked about the merchants who were transporting supplies from the north and the west coast.

They complained about the blockade of Liberty City, unaware that the culprit was right before their eyes.

Annan thought they were talking nonsense. These businessmen were either traitors or were after huge profits. They acted as if the civilians could buy food at low prices if the Free City had not launched a blockade.

The team moved very slowly. After standing in the cold wind for more than ten minutes, the team only moved halfway forward.

Looking sideways, Annan understood the reason for the crowd: they were paying the city entrance fee.

The entrance fee is 3 copper coins per person, and there is an additional charge for carrying goods. So if 30 people enter the city every day, it will be gold coins, which is gold coins a year, and there is no cost.

Liberty City would never charge this kind of money because Annan doesn't value efficiency.

He gathered the ladies and girls together to hold a banquet, and the magic stones sold were enough to cover the new king's entry fees for several years.

Finally it was Annan and Maria's turn. The city guards didn't even look at them and allowed them to enter the city smoothly.

Annan finally arrived at his new loyal capital.

He and Maria came to an inn owned by the Freeblade. The innkeeper... or rather, the tavern owner who joined the Freeblade was shocked when he learned of Annan's identity and almost closed the door and closed down.

It was Maria who reminded him not to do unnecessary things.

Apart from the military minister, not many people knew about Annan's trip. In order to avoid being discovered, even Elimoyas was temporarily sent back to the Free City by Annan.

He asked the tavern owner to find a messenger, and then asked the messenger to contact the military minister. Annan sat on the second floor of the hotel, quietly waiting for the meeting.

About two hours later, a sound of footsteps different from those of other guests appeared outside the door.

knock knock --

There was a knock on the door and Maria got up and opened it.

The military minister in a cloak stood outside the door and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Lord Annan."
