A strange world

Chapter 1197 Chapter 119. Arrival of distinguished guests

"Please forgive me for my rude temptation earlier, but this is a necessary step..."

Bertula York suddenly stood up and apologized to Annan.

"you……"

Annan raised his head in surprise. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something.

The third prince is the one who stands behind Aidan to defend him. So is it possible... that they are on the same side?

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince wants to cooperate with me?" Annan made a bold guess.

"Yes." The young executive admitted frankly.

"Why? Just because I helped Aidan and the third prince?"

"Yes."

Annan changed the question: "With all due respect, what can I do?"

Bertula York's eyes flashed with ambition that she had never had before, and she said word by word: "Break the order."

"...I'm afraid I can't help. I do sympathize with Aidan's actions, but that doesn't mean I agree with him. I can't accept a person's mistakes just because of his misery." Annan shook his head, feeling that the third prince must have misunderstood something.

"Is this so..."

Bertula York was not too disappointed by Annan's rejection. She just said: "His Royal Highness also said that no matter what you answer, I hope it will not affect our relationship with you."

"That's what I thought too."

Who can say no to someone who showers them with gifts?

If she were the third princess, Annan wouldn't have to make sacrifices.

After completing the two tasks assigned by the third prince, Bertula York said goodbye to Annan and prepared to return tomorrow.

After sending Bertula York away, the head maid Abby walked in with Maria.

"Gail just came to see me."

As Maria sat down, her tail automatically wrapped around her waist, "She asked me how many rat-men she would bring without making you angry. I suggested she bring 100 rat-men."

"Too little."

They have to dig a tunnel dozens of miles long, and they can still afford to add ten thousand words at the end.

"Too many Ratmen are too cheap for Stun Rats." After staying in Liberty City for a few months, Maria had already transformed into the shape of Annan. "You might as well treat her as a cheese road for Gale and introduce her to you. cobweb."

"That's what I thought too."

The next day, Gale came to Annan and expressed that he wanted to return to the Holy Clan.

Gale has been shrouded in shadow for so long these days that when the haze fades, Gale seems to be reborn, like a cheerful little chipmunk, and even has a trace of reluctance.

Annan also expressed a hint of concern and sent the Punishment Legion in the principality to escort her for a while.

I thought it would take at least a month or even longer for Gale to come back, but before May was over, the bandits in the principality had just been cleaned up, and news came back that she was coming back soon.

From this point of view, the Stun Ratmen are also working in Middle-earth...

After Yili's half-month survey in the forest mountains, he found a solid rock formation suitable for drilling holes in a plot not far from the coast, and he could start work at any time.

If we start the construction now, we can barely finish it before the McKeon Skaven launches the "Autumn Offensive" - ​​provided that the Stun Skaven can help.

The Hellfire Legion and the Punishment Legion in the Principality are gradually withdrawing, the Liberty City Prison is overcrowded, and the unmarked cemeteries in the wild are empty.

Because the heads of the villains built a small temple outside the walls of Liberty City.

Annan didn't want to do this at first. Building a skull into a temple is certainly a deterrent, but it is a waste of natural resources.

Wouldn't it be better to use the complete skeleton to make the skeleton farmer?

But then Annan discovered that the dehumanized bones killed by the Burnt Girls could not be used as materials to summon skeleton soldiers.

So we can only use the discarded skulls as landscapes, and break the skeletons into bone meal for fertilization.

In short, the principality bandits fell and the alien world tree was full.

When the druids left, the tree from another world had just grown to the level of the city lord's palace, but now it was a head taller, with a lush crown emerging from behind the eaves.

The people and tourists in Liberty City only thought that there was a tree that grew very fast, and no one made any contact with the "World Tree". Even the elves thought that Annan was doing some wonders to imitate the World Tree. Even if Annan said it was the "World Tree", No one believed it.

The communication distance of the Leaves of the Different World Tree has also increased, from the previous three to four hundred meters to almost one thousand meters, and the usable time has also changed from three days to five days.

It can already be used for communication and cope with many scenarios.

The first batch of people assigned to the leaves of the otherworld tree were the Guards Corps and the Hellfire Corps. The former is convenient for them to defend and maintain law and order in Free City, while the latter has always been loved by Annan because of his loyalty.

As for the other four legions, only the legion commanders and commanders have them. After all, the otherworld tree is still in the growth period, so it is not good to pick too many leaves.

In addition to the leaves of the tree from another world, Annan also gave 110 bottles of mountain essence sent by the third prince to the commanders of the three legions, Femi, Losi and Jack, and asked them to reward the soldiers who had made meritorious service.

The Punishment Corps and the Foreign Aid Corps are professionals and have no use for this thing.

"It's still not enough..."

"What's not enough?"

Idilia asked Annan who was talking to himself.

"There are not enough essences in the mountains, and there are not enough death row prisoners... Sister, can you contact the surrounding forces? We can help them maintain law and order, free of charge."

"It can't be free." The eldest sister suddenly said what Annan would say.

"That's right. Free will only make them suspect of ulterior motives... Then let Francois negotiate a suitable price."

Two days later, Francois, the deputy foreign minister of Liberty City, went to visit the small forces in the east and put forward Annan's request.

The lords looked at each other in bewilderment. It was enough for them to have an empire around them. Now you tell me that another small empire has emerged! ?

But they dared not refuse. It was not only because the "small empire" had a good relationship with the empire, but also because... they were indeed cost-effective.

Francois calculated the accounts for them: Liberty City sent people to eliminate all the bandits and robbers in the territory, and they only had to pay 50 to 700 gold nars according to the size of the territory.

It cost less than 700 gold nars, which could greatly improve the security of the territory, and there was after-sales service. Even the stingy lords would consider it.

Francois soon came back with a bunch of orders.

Annan gave this opportunity to the Musketeers and the Foreign Aid Corps, and held a celebration banquet for the Hellfire and Punishment Corps that returned.

The Black Widow wore a sequined black dress and sprayed perfume. At the beginning of the banquet, she deliberately stuck to Annan in the name of reporting.

"After our cleanup, the Principality no longer picks up things on the road and ignores traps. Residents will look for guards when they see suspicious people."

"How can you be sure?" Annan asked with interest.

Then Black Widow said that soldiers of the Punishment Corps deliberately threw money on the ground, pretended to be girls to seduce officials, and pretended to be bandits wandering outside the town.

Annan was speechless. After all, it was a legion filled with a lot of prisoners, so it was normal to have such evil practices.

Halfway through the banquet, the guards rushed in and said that a group of ratmen had come from outside the city.

Annan put down the juice glass: "It seems that our distinguished guests have arrived."
