The road leading to the palace gardens is carpeted with petals all year round. Elite soldiers in golden armor glittering in the sunlight stood on either side of the road......

This is the scene leading to the palace before the fall of the old kings.

But now, the road is sprinkled with blood and fire, death and chaos.

The nezumi who rushed down from the palace were defeated and retreated, and the high-spirited expeditionary force rushed up against the nezumi.

Warriors stand in the way, musketeers and rangers take care of their stress, mages continue to unleash spells to purify, reduce fatigue, and heal injuries, and the nezumi carry dozens of germs.

Placed in the wild, the warriors wipe out some rat swarms at most. But in the battle of the city-state full of streets and alleys, the position of a warrior cannot be replaced.

There are no flower beds, no vegetation, no sculptures have been torn down, and the bare palaces with the frescoes chiseled have no beauty, and the expeditionary force seems to be fighting in the lost ruins. As they stepped up the steps and officially stormed the palace gardens, the Ranger was the first to climb the roof of the old palace, raising his longbow and roaring.

Like cats, they always like to stay in high places where they can see their surroundings and satisfy their sense of security. So in addition to the elven gods, they will also choose to believe in cats and midnight girls.

At this time, a white and beautiful cat ascended to the top of the palace, and the surrounding rangers retreated.

They respect the spirited cats as messengers to the Midnight Maiden, especially at the end of the first millennium of the Saint Laurent calendar, when the gods are lost.

The silly cat came to the edge of the palace and seemed to trample the entire royal city under its feet. Even if the ruined city is not beautiful, it will still remind Him of everything that is still in the kingdom of God......

I, starting with the Sage, will rekindle the divine fire!

"What are you doing standing so high! Be careful to fall! ”

The shouts of the wind dragged him back to the world, and the silly cat lowered its head, and the angry cat's eyes reflected Annan standing in front of the palace and shouting anxiously.

Sick of it!

The expeditionary force that stormed the palace showed that the nezumi had lost their last support, and they were driven into the depths of the palace and killed one by one...... Just like they did to the city in the first place.

A few dozen minutes later, the battle ended.

The expeditionary force conquered this palace hill.

The soldiers wondered with great interest whether it would be more rewarding to conquer the palace on Montreal Hill...... Annan almost wanted to cover his ears.

Annan carried Princess Sails to the palace gardens, and she wanted to witness the loss of the Montreal family.

There are also some nezumi scattered around the corners of the old royal capital, but Annan is too lazy to look for them again, they won't stay here anyway.

In fact, the honor of conquering the old royal capital was greater than the actual gain.

They exterminated hundreds of thousands of nezumen and a dozen priests, an elder...... But these losses are nothing to the nezumi, or even to the Sturne clan.

And the nezumi have been raging in the old king's capital for a few months, and the little value is gone.

As the old saying goes, the arrogance of the nezumi is that they are not worth as much as an arrow.

A ranger encounters a nezumi on the road, pulls out an arrow and draws a bow to kill it, and the ranger loses money.

Unless the Ranger encounters three nezumi on the road, pulls out an arrow and draws his bow to kill it, and the arrow continues to shoot through the second nezumi and nail into the third nezumi, the cost of the arrow will be recovered.

Even Annan is having a headache about how to recruit rat people in the future Free City.

Not to mention the elves, exquisite skills, appreciation of art, immortality and beauty...... No one minds even if it's a vase; Dwarves are born miners and blacksmiths; The orcs at least still have the strength, and the duel between a thousand elite soldiers of the human race and a thousand orcs pulled out of the tribe is definitely a defeat for the human race;

And the nezumi ...... They are really good at giving birth and spreading plague.

At most, they were laborers and farmers, but in Liberty City they were replaced by skeletons.

“…… The betrayer and his minions fled to the south. ”

Princess Sayles' words brought Annan back to her senses from her contemplation. She was talking about the king who had betrayed his people. They ran to the southwest, and if Annan let the New Liberty return to Xingyue Bay, there was a high probability that he would see them on the way.

"You're talking about the kingdom of Rekaner? They've been a bit of a stranger lately. "Evelyn is elusive.

"What's wrong?" Princess Sayles' eyes fell on Evelyn.

"Well...... the Twin Ministers Weekly said that they suddenly announced that they would resist the rat tide and the demon tide and accept the old people...... Tsk, if you want me to say why they went earlier? ”

As an old citizen of the Kingdom of Rikanre, Evelyn represents the thoughts of all the old people.

There's also a lot of food and weapons procured over there, and it's really starting to clean up the rat people and demons.

Annan suddenly remembered the Holy Council a few days ago...... That's what they want?

Annan punctured the traitor's lies, because he didn't want Princess Sayles to give hope to those bastards: "When I set out, the Holy Council announced that 'all the territories recovered by the monarch will be theirs', and I think that's what they are for." The old system limited the expansion of the kingdom. But now, they can expand in the official name of recovering the old lands......"

The western part of the northern realm is vacant due to rat people and demons, and there are several vacancies equivalent to the area of the kingdom of Rikaner. As long as they are recovered, the size of the kingdom of Rikanr will become a giant like the Tatunn Empire.

It sounds unreasonable for the king to give up his land and get it back, but it can be understood if he changes it to "sell his property and buy it back at a low price".

And there are not many insiders in this matter. Annan, the King of Gold, the King of Bones, plus the people around them...... At least ordinary people are unaware of the viciousness of these nobles.

Maybe they'll also support the Rakan Kingdom in a counterattack.

"Evelyn, I need you to do a special edition of Voices of Freedom." Annan solemnly said to Evelyn: "Reveal all the filth, betrayal, betrayal, and present purpose of the kingdom of Rikanre." ”

"Trouble them? I'm the best at it! Evelyn bouncing around.

"Annan ......"

Princess Sayles suddenly weakened to stop Annan. She said it would bring disaster to him and to Liberty City.

If nothing else, there are at least a few legends who follow the betrayer...... For example, Annan's metaphor for the Red Devil in "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The wind blew on the palace hill and took away Annan's impulses.

This time it's not a petty fight, and his opponent is no longer a sieve like the mad dog Grand Duke. Annan will face a kingdom with great power and unscrupulous means.

“…… Prepare the draft first, and ask the ancestors when I get back. ”

Annan still didn't want to give up.

Let the kingdom of Rikanr continue to grow...... Who knows if a few hundred years later, the betrayer will become a hero who "was robbed of the country by the rat people and demons, was unwilling to give up, and finally repelled the rat people and demons"?

That's disgusting......
