A strange world

Chapter 967 Section 198. All-out attack

"Have you heard about it?"

"Of course, everyone knows that Lord Annan has a new female rat lover..."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Who else could it be? Don't keep me in suspense. I still need to go to the tavern to drink."

"A massacre occurred in the Kingdom of Rekanel. It is said that they couldn't find anyone from Free City, so they killed nearly a thousand civilians."

"Oh my God, are they crazy?!"

"When have they ever been normal?"

"It's terrible... I have to go to the tavern to calm down."

"Are you still in the mood to drink?"

"This is to earn military funds for Free City! The more alcohol we drink, the more taxes Free City will collect, and the more cannons we will build!"

"Okay... It seems to make sense... Let's go, I'll go too!"

Gail watched the two passers-by who were talking go away, her scarlet eyes flashing slightly, and she came to the door of the orphanage.

A nun in black and white nun's clothes stood in the garden, surrounded by jumping children. Gail's approach made her feel something. She still had the smile that children like to see the most, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

"Rat man, this is not the place you should come to."

"Don't be so defensive, I'm just here to pick up Cathy."

The petite Gail and the tall nun were tit-for-tat.

"Aunt Gail!"

A crisp voice sounded, and Cathy, with several fish painted on her face, ran over, stood in front of Gail, and looked at her crisply.

But if Gail hadn't seen Cathy beating a teddy bear for fifty minutes, she would really think Cathy wanted a furry hug.

"Did other children draw your face for you?"

"Who dares!" Cathy, the eldest of the smartest people in Liberty City, the overlord of the orphanage, the son of the Lord of Liberty City, said with a weak tone: "Who dares except Ivana?"

"Are you here to pick me up to see Annan?"

"Of course!"

"Yeah!" Cathy jumped up excitedly, turned around to say goodbye to the nun, and held Gale's hand.

This scene looks a bit warm, a petite and cute gray mouse holding a little girl - if Cathy didn't pinch and knead.

...

At this time, the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan and the deputy city lords and ministers of Liberty City sat in the conference room to discuss the massacre that had just happened in Ize Bay.

Annan took a deep breath: "I know you are very angry, I only have one request... stay calm."

"I am calm. Don't worry about the revelations. I have prepared a draft." said Evelyn, the Minister of Information.

"Besides that, we have to do more." Annan looked around at everyone. "We have forced the Kingdom of Rekanel into a corner. I am very worried about the others who are still in the kingdom... The kingdom is getting crazier and crazier, and they will become more and more dangerous."

"You want them to hide?" said Bronzebeard, whose forehead was half above the table.

Annan shook his head: "Then all our previous efforts will be in vain."

The kingdom is a quagmire. When they get themselves stuck in it, the intervention of Free City is inevitable.

Now the Free Blade is blooming everywhere, but the main battlefield is still the West Coast of the Red Witch, the Star City of Francois and the Ize Bay of Little Smo.

Annan wants to sell from the most stable place at present: "How is the Star City?"

"I was just about to tell you." Olmedo said, "After the Green Radish Knights promised us non-aggression, they spent a period of peace with us, but the new king was very dissatisfied. It is said that the royal family personally sent a prince and a guard to supervise the war."

"Then start with them."

The Kingdom of Rekanel is very cruel, but it has never raised the butcher knife to the weaker ones. They won't put away their fangs unless they are hurt once.

Everyone has no objection to launching a formal attack, but there is a new problem: which legion should be sent to fight the Guards head-on?

Currently, the Hellfire Legion is stationed in Xing'er City, but it is not enough to fight professionals.

Annan thought for a while and said, "Send the Punishment Legion to Xing'er City."

The Punishment Legion, which is almost full of spellcasters, bullies warriors as easily as warriors bully civilians.

After deciding on the action, Annan walked out of the meeting room and saw Cathy and Gail sitting in the living room on the second floor waiting for him. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a solemn look.

...

"The Massacre in Ize Bay!"

The new issue of "Voice of Freedom" blatantly exposed the cruel and ugly deeds of the Kingdom of Rak'ar in Ize Bay, and also attached the images of Jingguan that the Free Blade took secretly in Ize Bay at the risk of his life.

At the end of the article, Evelyn said bluntly: I have never hesitated to speculate the Kingdom of Recanel with the darkest thoughts: Maybe this is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time that outsiders know about it, just like the Jingguan made of thousands of heads.

Free City is also considered a semi-opinion leader in Middle-earth: it is not very powerful, but its voice is the loudest

In order to avoid public outrage, those nobles who are still connected with the Kingdom of Recanel have expressed their willingness to cut ties with the kingdom and secretly blame the kingdom. How can they let such a thing get out?

The death of some civilians is not a big deal, but it is a big deal if people know about it, and it is a big deal if Free City knows about it.

The Kingdom of Recanel will certainly not admit it, and quibble that this is a trick of Free City. But given the image of "Little Wilhelm" that Free City has always established, people are more willing to believe Annan a little.

However, these lords still only maintain the level of "condemnation" instead of crusade.

From another perspective, this is the battle of the novice village of Free City: many forces are watching them, and the final battle will determine the status of Free City. Including the Elf King Court is also watching, how far they can go.

If they win the Kingdom of Recan, they will admit that a new city-state will rise in Middle-earth. And if they lose... the commercial streets scattered in Middle-earth, the North, and the South of Free City will become fat meat coveted by everyone.

So the second version is that Free City took the initiative to start the "Battle of Xing'er City" - they will compete with the Prince's Guards of the Kingdom of Recan outside Xing'er City. In addition, Annan also sent an alien army from the old land of violet to the Kingdom of Recan.

From the map, the Red Witch, Francois, and Little Smo are like nails driven into the Kingdom of Recan, while the alien army is like a legion in a thorough war: turning into an arrow, piercing its territory from the border of the kingdom... and then invincible.

It's not that the alien army is so powerful, but that the border of the kingdom has been corrupted to an outrageous degree. Of the 100 supplies delivered by the new capital, 30 were taken out of the warehouse, 20 were left after leaving the city-state, and 10 were left in the hands of the officials, who then distributed this one to the soldiers.

So the alien army easily defeated the border guards who had no fighting spirit, and stuck the heads of the officials on spears, strung them together like the candied haws, a specialty of Free City, and carried them behind the orcs.

The Kingdom of Rekanel accused Free City of barbaric behavior, but the funny thing was that it started the war in a naive fantasy: they could be cruel to others, but others could not be cruel to them.
