A strange world

Chapter 1070 Section 301. Agarwal's Deadly Trap

[To Miss Yanes:

This may be the last time I write to you in this period of time.

We went all the way north from the Mam River to the Sunset Plains. Looking north, we can already see the luxurious pearls of the new capital.

The sinner who betrayed the North, the Red Devil King Agarwal, has been frequently harassing us recently. Many warriors have been attacked by him.

That guy has no pride of a mage. He kills our people everywhere like an assassin who is not in the light of day. Lord Skeleton and Lord Bat chased him, but he was as slippery as a mouse and hard to catch.

Lord Annan is thinking of a new way. I believe victory will eventually belong to us!

Let's talk about something else...The decisive battle is coming, and I signed up for the death squad. On the day of the attack, I will be the first warrior to charge.

When the people of Free City registered whether I had relatives, I told them that you were my wife...Just as if we had married in our dreams, after all, I have dreamed of holding your hand countless times.

When they persuaded me to consider it, I refused. I had nothing left. My family and lover died in the flood.

You want to persuade me too, right? But I'm afraid I'll disappoint you... When I think of you dying in pain and suffocation when the flood comes, anger tears my mind and heart apart, and makes me suffer in pain...

Only time and death can wash away this pain. I can't hold on any longer, so I choose the latter...

But I don't hate the Free Blade. Even if they don't come, we will die of plague, hunger, cold and betrayal sooner or later.

Miss Yanes, the kingdom is not worthy of our loyalty. A country that can't protect its own people is not worthy of our protection. There are rumors that the head of the council has resurrected the second prince and will form an alliance with the Free City... So what? Will all this disappear if we change the king?

No, just continue to compose poems about royal power and nobility. There is no name for us in this story.

When the decisive battle comes, I will rush to the front and reunite with you.

Saint Laurent calendar year 1001, December 20th, Claude]

Claude folded up the letter paper, put away the letter that was destined to be unsent, and walked out of the room.

His new teammate was smiling, not looking like he was going to die. Curiously asked: "You were going to fight the kingdom to the end, why are you depressed again?"

"I just miss home." Claude said, "What do you want to see me about?"

"The captain asked us to go over."

Claude followed to the open space, and the other team members had gathered.

When everyone arrived, the captain of the death squad announced: "The City Lord's Mansion has given us a task: to lure out the Red Devil King!"

They all heard about Agarwal's attacks on the Free Blade everywhere. No one was spared in the team he targeted...

This is a suicide mission, but no one objected.

"Our ostensible mission is to investigate Madison Farm. Four other teams are also leaving at the same time. Don't think we are being deliberately sent to die. Lord Skeleton and Lord Bat will follow us secretly."

"But whether you can hold on until they arrive depends on your ability!"

"Any more questions?"

"No!"

The death squad said in unison, only Claude did not speak.

"Claude, do you have any questions?"

His reaction did not escape the captain's eyes.

Facing the gaze of his teammates, Claude shouted: "The two adults are following us as bait, what should Liberty City do?"

"That's not your concern."

But the death squad are not afraid of death, so saying this will not satisfy them.

The captain added: "To be honest, I don't know. But Lord Annan must have his intentions in arranging this, we just need to execute it! Do you understand!"

"Understood!"

"Get ready to go!"

...

The news of the departure of the five baits and the two legends was sent back to Liberty City.

This scene still needs Vitalig's help. After he appeared, Agarwal was still attacking everywhere, indicating that he was firmly on Clo's side.

With Vitalig and himself, Annan didn't believe that Agarwal could hold back from taking action.

It would be best if Agarwal encouraged other legends who had been hiding in the new capital to come out in order to increase the success rate, so that he could catch them in the trap.

In order to lure out Agarwal, Annan did not hesitate to spread the news of what happened in Montreal Mountain through the Voice of Freedom, revealing that the president of the parliament had died, the empire had stopped, and Vitalig had resurrected, and then announced that Liberty City would cooperate with Vitalig to rectify the kingdom.

Annan even imitated Clo and specially held a tour in the city just to attract Agarwal to show up - as we all know, if you stroll around the streets of Liberty City, there is a high probability that you will run into Annan who is also strolling around.

However, the people of Liberty City still cooperated and stood on both sides of the road to welcome Annan... and to show their love.

"Lord Annan, let me be your dog!"

Hmm? Who is calling... Oh, succubus, then it's okay.

Annan smiled awkwardly at Vitalig, waved to the succubi who were making blushing noises, and gradually walked away.

"Doesn't he like us..." The shortest succubus pouted.

"Don't even think about it. Annan gets bored easily. He was very caring when we first met, but he ignored us after he succeeded."

The most mature succubus pouted at the confused owner of the massage parlor, "Look at this silly woman, she works hard to give massages just to save money to have sex with Annan."

She shook her head and said helplessly with her seductive lips: "It's hopeless."

Annan, who didn't know that he was being criticized by the succubus, quickly walked to the square in front of the city lord's palace. For the first time, he discovered that Liberty City was so small... Agarwal hadn't come out yet, so he had to meet Olmedo and his eldest sister at the gate of the city lord's palace. Detoured among the differences and circled around the city lord's palace.

When he was about to make a second turn, Olmedo stopped him: "Stop turning, the guests are waiting."

The banquet officially started.

In the lively banquet hall, people were drinking and drinking, and Annan looked out to the terrace from time to time.

That coward Agarwal still hasn’t shown up…

At this time, on the unfinished third floor of the mage tower, Lilith looked up at a meteor in the sky with a feeling.

The meteor was getting closer and closer, dragging its long tail and hitting Liberty City without any hesitation.

Lilith floated up, bloomed with a strong light and disappeared. The next moment, a beam of light shot out towards the sky, turning into an illusory barrier covering Liberty City.

A few seconds later, the meteor shower hit the magic shield hard. The barrier flickered and rippled as if it were something substantial, but it held on.

Agarwal just threw a spell tentatively?

The bolide that was still hanging high dispersed, and Agarwal's figure emerged.

Without saying a word, he floated over Liberty City, gathering a terrifying tide of magic.

"You are finally here..."

Annan quickly walked to the terrace amidst the exclamations of the banquet guests, stretched his hand out of the fence, and threw away the crystal.

Snap——

The first crystal shattered.
