A strange world

Chapter 928 Chapter 159. The conspiracy of the Kingdom of Ruikaner

"The former King of the North, Annan Reeves, viciously assassinated the royal family!" 》

The black and bold title came into view, making Annan raise his eyebrows.

It’s not that the Rekaner Kingdom is confusing right and wrong, it’s just that it moves so fast...

It has only been twelve hours since the assassination occurred last night. It only took the Kingdom of Ruikanle one night to learn the news, and tens of thousands of newspapers were printed?

If they had this efficiency, they wouldn't be bullied like this by the rat men, demons, and Annan.

unless……

"Did they have a plan?"

Ingrid said nothing, and Annan continued to read the article.

The article tells that the kingdom was invited by the empire, and Monzon, Cynthia and Anok led the team to participate in the victory parade, but were assassinated by Annan who held a grudge... The details were to blame Annan for what Issa did.

What is worth pondering is that not only Monzon died in the news, but also Cynthia and Anok...

In the king's "script", the three of them are destined to die here in order to frame Annan.

But I didn't expect that Issa, who "yearned for freedom", was actually the king's man.

Later in the article, Annan's cruelty to the royal family and the empire's protection were described, putting the Kingdom of Ruikan in a weak and helpless position.

If it were just like this, the Ruikaner Kingdom would at most want to pour sewage on Annan, but Annan glanced back a few times and saw that his name was on the entire page and even other pages...

Is this a special issue just for him?

Annan watched it with interest.

Let’s talk about the life of “Annan”, starting from his childhood. Robbing treasures, raping maids, charging heavy taxes... However, because of too many distortions, Annan was separated from this "submission to attack Annan". It was like watching a man with the same name and surname who did all kinds of evil, and started doing bad things since he was born. A villain who would kick an old lady whenever she passed by.

The only thing that is true is that an article revealed that the real Levi Reeves was dead and that the current Annan Reeves was a fake.

"Will anyone believe it?" Annan raised his head and asked Ingrid.

"Even if one in 10,000 people believe it, there are still many people."

"You're right, where is Olmedo?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is waiting for you."

"I'll be there right away." Annan turned around and said to Francois, "I'll leave the Moonlight Street to you first."

"let me see?"

Leaving the newspaper with him, Annan followed Ingrid back to Liberty City.

…

In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, Olmedo and Itilia were both present and had been discussing for a long time.

It just saves Annan from thinking too much: "What do you think of the behavior of the Kingdom of Ruikan'er?"

"To be honest, it's not surprising." There are traces of this conspiracy, and even Olmedo wants to do this: "I originally planned to ask Evelyn to accuse them in the next issue of "Voice of Liberty," but I didn't expect them to be so eager. ”

"After all, it's a lie. If you don't speak louder, no one will care." Annan said, "What's strange to me is that they killed three tribesmen and then made up a fake and outrageous lie. Why?"

"Annan, have you heard the story of the reverse-blooded centaur?"

Annan shook his head.

"The Counter-Blood Tribe was once a powerful centaur tribe, but every beginning has an end waiting for it. No matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot avoid the fate of decline. Amid frequent civil strife, the future patriarch was born. It tells All centaurs share the same blood. The alien races outside the grassland are the real enemies. They exaggerate their evil and then massacre them in a bloody and brutal way to save the tribe that is about to be divided. "

"Sister, what do you mean, I am the 'foreign race'?"

"That's what they think so far."

Olmedo added: "If the Kingdom of Ruican really wants to use us to ease its internal conflicts, now is just the beginning... Next, they may do whatever they can to incite the people and intensify the conflicts with us."

"Then let them do it."

Liberty City has become invincible after floating into the sky. What else can they do as a country hiding in the north and forced to survive by the ratmen?

"Don't take it lightly. Their current ending is just because the rat people are too strong, not because they are too weak."

Not to mention anything else, there are at least three legendary mages in the Ruikaner Kingdom. For this alone, Liberty City has nothing to do with them.

Annan's eyes fell on the map that was spread out. The Ruikan'er Kingdom ran to the northwest near the sea, due north of the old Violet Kingdom.

If they want to return to Xingyue Bay without taking a detour, that is the only way to go.

Annan thought of a person: "How is Count Ulmit?"

"He's been asking us for help for months."

"What's going on!? Didn't we sell him an arcane energy core? Why are there still calls for help?"

"The problem lies in that arcane energy core..."

In short, Count Ulmit saw that Annan had a floating city, and he wanted it too. After leading people to search for the treasures of the Violet Kingdom, he finally collected enough money and bought an arcane energy core from Annan at the original price. Then when Liberty City was still on the ground, he couldn't wait to take the floating city... or The floating village rose.

So the problem arises. The continent of Allen is a magical place, and everything follows the conservation of magic - even Martin has to eat a few apple pies before he is willing to work, let alone the floating city floating in the sky.

Count Urmite soon discovered that life with a floating city was not wonderful. Water, food, resources... all needed to be sent up one by one. Although countless survivors came upon hearing the news, these penniless people actually increased the burden.

He couldn't land. Because the ground was full of ratmen, landing back was like inviting ratmen to dinner.

In order to survive, Count Urmite had to sell his property, make a lot of money, and then--give it all to Free City in exchange for supplies and help.

"They also want to sell us the land... but we have no use for the land."

Knowing that it was not a rat invasion, Annan breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Free City was taking the opportunity to send a lot of money, Annan wanted to praise Count Urmite--

But on the surface, he had to pretend to have such a bad expression: "The Count is our friend after all, and he is fighting against the ratmen..."

"So the resources we sell to them are all at normal prices." Olmedo said.

"Then let's wait and see what tricks the betrayer has next."

The backhand of the Kingdom of Rekanel came faster than expected... The next day, there was a group of protesters outside the Moonlight Opera House. Then news came from all over the country that many commercial streets were under siege.

But the influence of Free City in Middle-earth is much higher than that of the Kingdom of Rekanel. After all, they actually pay taxes and provide jobs. These people were easily dispersed.

On the third day, the protests suddenly intensified. People with ulterior motives rushed into the commercial streets with the poor, looted, and burned down a theater.
