"It is with great weight that we pay tribute to the fallen warriors whose sacrifices sustained our ...... of peace"

Annan, Olmedo, Itilia, and a group of Liberty City officials stood in the cemetery, silently staring at the newly erected fifty-seven tombstones.

This is the number of the last casualties of the Hellfire Legion and the Fourth Legion: twenty-five for the Hellfire Legion and thirty-two for the Fourth Legion.

Their bodies and graves were prepared for burial in the cemetery, but the opposition died down when Annan came out and said, "They are fighting for Liberty City too."

Dorai, who was already the patriarch of the goblin tribe, was grateful to Annan for what he had done for his people—it was clear that the main thing that humans opposed was the goblins.

"If you want to thank you, you can thank Gar." Annan said after coming out of the cemetery.

"Gal?"

"If it hadn't been so angry about beating up the officials who opposed it, I wouldn't have known about it."

"I got it......"

After the mourning, they began the most important event of the funeral: the necromancer stood in front and in turn resurrected the bones of the warriors who had signed the "Willingness to continue to serve Freetown after death" into skeletons.

The bereaved family members of the bereaved relatives, husbands or children covered their mouths and pointed heartlessly at the short goblin skeletons, dancing goblins and "clucking" skeletons that somewhat washed away the solemnity and sadness of the cemetery.

It's just that the skeleton that got up didn't ignite the soul fire that represented the sanity, and the heroic spirit of the cemetery was still only the lonely Clare herself.

"It's boring...... "Claire hooked up with a few soldiers, ready to go to the tavern for a drink.

Annan returned, but that didn't mean he left the hellfire of the Great Wall in the north there...... War represents death, but death also forces people to progress.

The first decree issued by Annan after his return was to determine the direction of development of the Free City with "alchemy" as the core.

These days, Annan ran to the mushroom house and told Michael and Deng Weishao all the advice he could provide.

For example, if a solid shell is too heavy and too small, it is necessary to develop a flowering shell that can explode.

For example, it is basically impossible to kill two ratmen with a magic musket, so it is necessary to make a bullet with countless small projectiles?

For example, if the white dragon is too rough to fight with the meteor hammer, and when diving into the elite rat team, it is easy to be slowed down by the iron cans and take the opportunity to climb the meteor hammer, can you develop a white dragon weapon that can not only clean up the rat tide, but also quickly open the can?

Annan also thought about inventing the steam engine, and then was approached by the Minister of Industry at this time, Soluman Copperbeard, holding a forging hammer: "You know that there are only 24 hours in a day, right? ”

So the second decree was: to expand the school and recruit alchemists and craftsmen.

Compared with ignoring the majestic bronze beard of Annan, Deng Weishao's attitude was much better, and he worked day and night to develop the prototype of the golem belonging to Liberty City.

Major Dumbleder applied the mage's aesthetic sense to the golem:

The Knight Golem, based on the Goblin Golem, rejects useless fangs and claws that can easily get caught in tin cans, and replaces it with a sword that extends directly from the arm, a bright silver knight armor that gives it a sense of solidity, and the core of the drive is embedded in the golem's skull.

Compared to the goblin golem golem deliberately made into a sturdy and powerful goblin golem in order to make up for its own shortness and thinness, the appearance of the knight golem is much more slender than that of the goblin golem, quite close to the proportion of a heavily armored knight, but the killing speed is by no means inferior.

However, Annan returned from the battlefield with great importance to efficiency - fighting the rat tide, efficiency is everything.

You are a fast swordsman, you can swing three swords in a second, but the frequency of rat waves is thirty in a second.

"Why only one pair of hands?"

Deng Lishao was slightly stunned by Annan's question, and he continued to say seriously: "With every extra pair of hands, won't the killing speed be accelerated by one point?" ”

Then Annan stood up to the knight's golem and measured his height.

"It's still a little short, how about adding another fifteen to twenty centimeters?" Annan raised his eyebrows, the heads of slave rats and elite rats were almost in this range - the lower rats had no necks, or their necks were connected to the cervical vertebrae. It is more cost-effective to cut their skulls than to cut their throats.

Annan imagined four-handed or even six-handed knight golems standing in a row, like a combine harvester, harvesting the rat tide on the front line......

Speaking of combine harvesters...... Forget it, Copperbeard is busy enough. And the farmland skeleton farmers in Liberty City can handle it.

After squatting in the mushroom house all day, in the evening, when Annan returned to the city lord's mansion, he suddenly saw a familiar face in front of a house that was being renovated.

Not long ago, the man who was holding the jar of gems in the north.

How frightened he was then, how energetic he is now.

Annan asked the patrol guard what was going on, and the guard suddenly said, "You mean Ultua?" He's a rich man, he's only been in Liberty City for three days, he bought a house, and he's still applying for residency......"

Compared to the chaos outside, Liberty City is indeed a paradise for those who yearn for peace.

Passing by the library, Annan didn't see Mr. Victor, so he didn't have to think about it to know where he was.

Time passed quietly, and during this time, a major event happened in Liberty City: the road from Liberty City to the Overwatch was officially completed.

On the day of completion, Grand Duke Giraldi came to Liberty City, ostensibly to celebrate the completion of the road, but in fact it was an excuse to stay in Liberty City, which gave him peace of mind—Giraldi reported that the Overwatch was leaking everywhere, and he did not dare to rest at all—and his emaciated figure corroborated his claim.

So much so that "Glory of Ricanal" finds an opportunity to mock Giraldi as a coward: describing Giraldi by the name of a famous coward in a famous book.

"That's ......?"

Annan flipped through the newspaper in disgust.

Evelyn on the other side blushed: "Is there a better one?" ”

"It's easy...... Three Liberty City soldiers see a duchy soldier and bet on who can provoke the soldier. The first soldier said, "Hey, your girlfriend is so comfortable." The duchy soldiers were silent and did not answer. The second soldier said, "Your Grand Duke depends on us for protection." The duchy soldier shook his body, but still did not reply. The third soldier approached the Duchy soldier and whispered a word, and the Duchy soldier was furious: Bastard! Are you kidding me! The two soldiers hurriedly asked the third soldier what he had said. The third soldier said, "I told him that we are withdrawing from the watchman."

"Hahahaha-" Evelyn slapped the table and laughed to tears, "It would be great if it was published." ”

"But Grand Duke Giraldi is our ally."

"yes, that's a shame." Evelyn blinked, "Or else we will contribute anonymously to Glory of Ricanal?" ”

"I don't think they're going to pay for it."

"That's right."
