Section 222. End of the expedition
At the beginning, Xingyue Bay was pinned on by Annan - the twenty-meter-high city wall and the Elemental Legion all illustrate this.
But trying to fend off the horrified rat tide is like Annan facing Lady Winter, Princess Sayles, Maria, Irilanzer, and Lady Wine at the same time.
Weak and weak.
After Annan told him about his transformation plan, Lady Winter broke the silence: "Annan, I have nothing to give you. β
Lady Winter's fortune has been depleted during the days she has fended off the rat tide, and the Lady Winter's Collar has nothing but the unreveilable Vault.
"Then it should be...... Bootcamp bar. β
Unable to find a decent excuse, Annan pointed to the expeditionary force outside the castle: "My soldiers can't be idle, so I should let them train here." β
As a result, in addition to aid and defense, Annan also provided additional soldier protection.
"Take his kindness, this boy values friendship very much...... "Princess Sayles and the hesitant Lady Winter" said, "I only provided him with a place to live and shelter in the royal capital, but he actually rescued me for it......"
"If you are grateful to him, spare no effort to help him in the future."
Lady Winter was persuaded by Princess Sayles to stop insisting. Signed a covenant with Liberty City, under the witness of the devil.
"I'll go back first, and I'll surprise you later." Busy Beludona returns to hell.
And after the signing of the Covenant, Lady Winter's gaze at Annan was no longer as her name suggested, but a kind of softness.
Click, click
Evelyn appears with onomatopoeia.
"What is she doing?" Lady Winter looked at the petite girl.
"She's Evelyn, the editor-in-chief and ace reporter of the Voice of Liberty."
Annan handed Lady Winter a copy of the magical newspaper he had with him.
Mrs. Winter, who took the newspaper, said, "I remember doing the same when you were in the North? β
"Well, but not many people knew about it at the time......"
At the beginning, Xingyue Bay was too remote, and there were only two or three cities that traded. But now, the magical images and magic newspapers of Liberty City, located in the Obiris Strait, are harvesting the wealth and goodwill of dozens of surrounding towns.
When news of the Covenant reaches Liberty City, Olmedo mobilizes the inhabitants: "Our second ally needs help, let them see the warmth of Liberty City!" β
She recruited workers almost twice the population of the Winter Collar, and the first thing she did was to repair a strong wall.
As for Liberty City, which is building the "Liberty Watch Highway", it doesn't matter if it lacks cement. Limestone is everywhere, and all Annan needs to do is keep it a secret.
The less limestone is found, the more the recipe lasts.
In addition to asking the people of Liberty City to come and help, Annan also requisitioned the locals of the Rindong collar and paid them salaries, so that they could use the salary to buy food from Mrs. Rindong.
And throw away the rat meat.
Because there has been a rumor spreading in the Allen Continent: if you eat rat meat, you will become a rat man.
Although alchemists have proven this to be nonsense, rat meat is not a good thing either.
As a result, the next evening, Annan found that the locals who had worked all day were not interested in cooking food at all, and threw the wheat bran into water and boiled it into a paste.
Annan simply requisitioned a few bakeries on a temporary basis and asked them to bring processed food, such as bread.
At that time, the bakery still wanted to make Mrs. Winter's ice melt, and could not help but admire that the people of Liberty City were even rich enough to be kindβonly the rich who had no food and clothing would do that.
They are indeed qualified to do so. Liberty City is now materially rich and spiritually satisfied, and people who were refugees not so long ago are now proud of Liberty City.
A few days have passed, the hot winter collar is close to stabilizing, and the rat herd of dozens of miles nearby has also been cleared by the expeditionary force, leaving behind a heavy horse, and Annan is ready to end the expedition.
"Lady Winter, please don't live and die with Lady Winter, you can do more by living......"
Annan solemnly told Mrs. Rindong.
She looked down at Annan, suddenly removed her ring, and took Annan's hand.
Annan was stunned for a moment by Madame Winter's proximity, and let her slightly cool soft palm put the ring next to the two elemental summoning rings.
"What is this?"
"My blessings...... Think of it as a birthday present. β
Annan remembered that his "birthday" was just a few days away...... It must have been Olmedo who told him.
"Thank you."
It is a silver ring with an ancient letter-like pattern engraved on the surface.
Before returning, Annan made a necessary speech in front of all the expeditionary forces: "Our war is over. β
"Our casualties are only one percent...... If only there wasn't one. I will give these soldiers a pension according to the standards of Liberty City, and their families can also become residents of Liberty City......"
Without a speech prepared by Olmedo, Annan is really not good at saying this kind of summarizing stuff - but it looks like it works out pretty well?
The expeditionary force returned with much easier time than when he came: Annan only had to open several portals at the same time: the border town of the Grand Canyon of Zorntut, the southern part of the kingdom of Dimon, and the city of Liberty City, and let them choose freely.
Olmedo also gave out coupons for those who wanted to visit Liberty City, including succubi.
Excluding the Imperial soldiers, nine out of ten people have developed a strong interest in Freetown because of this time, and they walked into the Freetown portal. The remaining tithes are going home first and bringing the family to Liberty City.
Six thousand expeditionary forces. In addition to the 3,000 men who had joined along the way, Annan asked the remaining three teams of musketeers to select 1,000 men and station them in the Winter Territory.
However, Fermi advises against disassembling the musket team. Hellfire, Guard, and Team 3 are creating their own style and cohesion, and breaking up will make what is coalescing disappear......
Annan didn't quite understand it, thinking that it should be a similar operation of "bow before using Susan's spinning machine", so he changed it to three musket teams to take turns stationed in the winter collar.
Lady Winter's atonement isn't all bad.
At least she was firmly nailed to the border, and with "Voice of Freedom" going to promote her as a hero who stood her ground, Rin Dong received a lot of attention and help.
Annan believed that the real takeaway from the trip was still fermenting: many of the people of Breeze City and Starmoon Bay were forced to stay in the kingdom of Dimun, and when they learned of the expeditionary force, they would begin to migrate to the Winter Realm and Middle-earth.
Unexpectedly, after the news spread, Annan learned that the kingdom of Rikanr was boasting that Madame Winter was a member of the Montreal family......
Annan watched indifferently as the betrayer jumped up and down, casting himself into a hero about to reclaim the old land.
They couldn't bounce for long.
On this day, Annan returned to Montreal with the dean and Princess Sayles.
