"I want to save her."

In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Annan said with Editia and Olmedo.

Olmedo got up and left the couch, "Did you read the newspaper?" Editia asked him.

"Voices of Freedom? What's wrong with this issue? ”

Olmedo took a copy of the Imperial newspaper and handed it to Annan.

The Imperial newspaper was the official newspaper of the Tatooon Empire. After releasing the meaning of need on the Montreal Mountain, Annan sent a tutorial to Ou Lin and the old ancestor, free of charge.

Compared to "Voice of Freedom", which is biased towards Allen Continental News, "Empire" focuses on the situation in the Tatoon Empire. Decrees, changes, deployments, and wars are all in the same weekly newspaper, and the "arrogant" one is not in the form of a magic newspaper, but an ordinary one. It was extended to the entire empire by order of Montreal Mountain.

"Voices of Freedom" is the pioneer of the magic newspaper, and "Empire" has become the best-selling magic newspaper with the size of the Tatoon Empire, selling dozens of times more than them.

"The United Expeditionary Force Returns to Middle-earth Due to the Mixed Tide of Demons and Rats", Annan saw the title at first sight.

"They lost?"

If you think about it, nearly six months have passed since the expeditionary force set out at the beginning of the year......

The newspaper detailed the battle of the expeditionary force: the joint expeditionary force, which united the nations and the lord's troops, made its way north through the long corridor, bypassing the Elven Pass, and plunging from the east into the Black Iron Mountains, where it encountered the first wave of nezumi resistance.

The nezumi underground are endless, and the expeditionary force has to clear tens of thousands of rat tides every mile they advance. They had the opportunity to steadily clear the McCaine Ratmen from the caverns that crisscrossed the Black Iron Mountains, but it took months to incorporate the Black Iron Mountains into their territory in a way that was not in line with all the monarchs of Middle-earth, so the Commander commanded the expeditionary force to cross the mountains and deep into the hinterland, only to be confronted by an army of demons that had been assembled.

Then there is what Annan heard during the war with the Mad Dog Grand Duke, where the expeditionary force and the demons began to encounter in the Remand Rift.

They held out there for a month, and were forced to start retreating because of serious attrition, which became the "Expeditionary Force Shrinking Front", "The Expeditionary Force Began a Tactical Retreat", "The Expeditionary Force Was Defeated", and "The Expeditionary Force Was Defeated" and "The Expeditionary Force Was Defeated".

The Empire coldly said that the defeat of the expeditionary force was a foregone conclusion, that it was a failed operation, that it had neither confiscated the fallen lands nor saved the survivors, and that the problem was that the countries had cherished their own brooms.

Annan thought so, and if they didn't do their best, they wouldn't want to kill all the McCain rats and rats and push the demons north of the snowy mountains.

But how could the kingdoms of Middle-earth be so devastated by the vitality of the North......

"I didn't expect even our neighbors to fail, they are 'savages.'" Annan sighed.

Nezumi and Demon United...... It sucks no matter how you think about it. Who knows how long it will take for them to encroach on the North and then take over Middle-earth?

Fortunately, the floating city under his feet brought a trace of warmth to Annan.

"So the Combined Expeditionary Force is only now defeated......"

The joint expeditionary force of the Tatoon Empire and other countries made money together like Annan and Olmedo.

Olmedo and Annan combined make millions of kinnars.

The meaning of the eldest sister and Olmedo is also obvious: if the expeditionary force fails, he can't either.

"I could-"

"Nope."

Annan argued: "I am not the same as the expeditionary force. The United Expeditionary Force is mighty, and it can be seen from dozens of miles away, it is impossible for the rat people and the demon tide to be indifferent, and I am only one person. But I'm a man on the surface, but in fact there's Elimoas and two epics, and as long as I don't run into legends and stay in one place for too long, the nezumi demon can't do anything about me. ”

"We can still skip the Black Iron Mountains...... Map! ”

Ingrid, who was standing aside, took the map, and Annan spread it out on the table, trying to find the location of the Elven Pass.

"Here." Olmedo said casually.

Annan pointed to the Elven Pass and slid up: "When the McKenn nezumi broke through the Elven Pass and the Elven Mountains, entered the hinterland of the Violet Kingdom, and went straight to the Rikanr Kingdom, the route of the expeditionary force was the same as them, and they would inevitably encounter the nezumi along the way. ”

Annan drew a cross with his finger on the map of the Violet Kingdom, returned to Liberty City on the Strait of Obiris, and paddled east along the coastline: "Our purpose is to go to the royal capital to save people." So I was able to jump straight to Sertovis and from Sartovis to Montreal and from Montreal to this ...... on the northern border of the Tatooon Empire This ......"

"The town of Zorntut at the edge of the Grand Canyon."

"This town on the edge of the Grand Canyon of Zorntute, and then enter the kingdom of Dimon. Madame Winter is there, and she has the blood of the Montreal family in her veins, and I can get more help there. Then go directly to the hinterland of the Rikaner Kingdom, cross the Glory County and Illida County, and directly reach the royal capital! ”

Annan's finger pressed the map.

"The kings are here." Olmedo grabbed Annan's finger and moved it up a few centimeters, she looked at Annan: "Is it all worth it?" ”

Annan looked at Olmedo seriously: "If you had lived and died with Breeze City, I would have gone back to save you." ”

Itilia next to her quietly covered her mouth.

Olmedo no longer insisted under those dreamy black jewel eyes: "Since you are going to go, let's make a big noise." ”

……

The battle on the Phule Peninsula is raging, but after the Black Jewel Pirates disappear, the surrounding waters fall into an eerie silence.

It is said that some merchant ships saw flashes, thunders, and terrible roars, and that "Sweet Home" at least hid an epic ...... Maybe it's a legend!

As a result, the "Sweet Home" became off-limits, and on this day, the Hellfire Muskets began to withdraw, leaving only 100 men stationed to continue teaching the local townsfolk and town guards in the use of muskets.

Liberty City is once again in a state of war. The city walls, the Mage Tower, and other buildings under construction have been temporarily suspended, and all the workers have been supplied to the blacksmith shop to create magic muskets and plate armor that can arm three teams of musketeers by this week.

"I think they're a burden." Annan told the truth.

Olmedo says they won't slow you down, they can hide you and your purpose, and earn fame for Liberty City.

Annan thought that wherever they were, they could promote the specialties of Liberty City, so he agreed to her.

During the preparations, Annan asked every day for news from the Magic Mirror, Princess Sayles.

The bad news is that Princess Sayles' condition is still "very bad", and the good news is that she is still "very bad".

He also went to the blue dragon to touch the apocalypse forecast, and the countdown was six months...... It happened to be the first day of the year 101 in the Yves Saint Laurent calendar.

On the eve of departure, Aunt Susan was reluctant because it would be Annan's "birthday" in a few days.

"I will let the soldiers go home for the holidays before their birthdays." Annan assured.
