Alien world

Chapter 1307 229. Urgent

Why are the Imperials here?!

As the portal closed, Annan's heart began to pound.

His relationship with the Empire was good, but not to this extent. It would be troublesome if they knew that there was a fake Imperial princess swindling people in the Broken Mountains.

No, Joan needs to be reminded to remain anonymous for a while.

Now that he already knew that he was the man behind the free people, Annan simply stopped hiding and returned to the Black Reef Tavern, opened the portal, and after learning that Captain Ryan had led his men to meet the enemy, he asked Luo Fei to tell Joan: Stay there and don't come back for the time being.

"Do we want to deal with them?" Luo Fei stroked the doll in her arms.

"I want to finish you off."

"Really?"

"Uh……"

Annan continued to inquire about the current situation: "So now we have eight masters?"

"Ten, actually."

Black Widow and Elimois were also at Open Air Coal Hill.

In this situation, even if the enemy is epic, he will have to run away with his tail between his legs.

This is true.

Captain Ryan led his men to meet President Fearon and Elvis Raymond who had arrived fifty miles away from the open-pit coal mountain.

The retainer of the Raymond family and the leader of the epic warriors looked solemn.

"Who are you and what do you want? Money? " President Fellen shouted.

"We want the light of order to illuminate the Broken Mountains from now on!"

President Fieren turned his head and asked: "What nonsense are they talking about?"

Elvis Raymond yelled, "Are you Paladins of the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes going to lay your hands on the Broken Mountains?"

“We just want to free people from the shackles that are on them.”

Realizing that it didn’t make sense, President Fearon urged Elvis Raymond: “Let’s just do it!”

"I brought an epic, but there are eight masters on the other side."

Unless two more epics are sent, the current situation will remain that they cannot do anything to the free people, and the free people cannot do anything to them.

President Fearon was unwilling to give up. He continued to shout the names of Hart and the other two: "Have you also betrayed me?"

"Can't beat it."

“My heart is toward the light.”

President Fearon looked at the silent Hart and pleaded, "Hart, are you going to abandon me too?"

"I've been captured by them. Don't worry, Fearon, if they want to hurt you, I will stop them."

"What on earth do you want!"

"We will shatter the mountains and there will be no more oppression."

"Fucking madman!"

President Philen's eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, and he was cursing in a rude manner.

The open-pit coal mountain was everything to him. Without it, his trading company would fall apart in an instant.

He grabbed Elvis Raymond tightly and said, "Nephew Elvis, you must help your uncle!"

"President Philen, don't be in a hurry." Elvis Raymond broke free calmly, "We need to first investigate who they are and who they work for." There was nothing to investigate. There were only a few paladins in the Broken Mountains. They quickly linked them to Captain Ryan of the Oscuras Mercenary Group.

Captain Ryan had just appeared in the parliament hall earlier today and was still employed by Annan.

So far, it can still be explained as a coincidence, but when the blue dragon Ilimayas, disguised as a girl in a blue dress, appears on the opposite side, everything becomes clear.

Elvis Raymond did not act rashly. When it came to matters not involving Killian, his intelligence always prevailed.

Letting the family members stay here to maintain the blockade, Elvis Raymond rushed back to the Golden Palace and told his father about the discovery.

"What are you going to do?"

What did Elvis Raymond realize from his father's calmness? "You knew that a long time ago?"

Lord Raymond laughed deeply. "I played a game of chess with him, and it was his turn to play."

Elvis Raymond got it.

The two sides were fighting a battle permitted by the rules, but the battlefield was the industry of the Philen Trading Company.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Lord Raymond is willing to cooperate with Annan in playing this game?

If he won, Lutian Coal Hill would be named after the Raymond family from then on. If he lost... he couldn't lose.

"Father, I suggest that we block the open-pit coal mountain first to delay time and get the third party out of the game."

"anything else?"

"besides……"

"My son, why do you think Annan Reeves will cooperate with you."

Elvis Raymond was stunned: "Doesn't he covet the open-air coal mountain?"

He had investigated and found that the coal mines in the Broken Mountains were mainly controlled by the family, the Fren Company and the Skarlu United Organization. Annan Reeves did not dare to touch the family, and the mining areas of the Skarlu United Organization were too scattered, so only the open-pit coal mines were the most suitable.

"Our opponent is not a scarecrow. He won't let you strangle him, Elvis..."

"I..." Elvis Raymond's face flashed with confusion, and then turned into determination: "I understand, I will let Killian be responsible for the blockade."

Lord Raymond laughed heartily: "Very good, Elvis, you did a great job."

“You have to remember that a true leader can regard anything as a flag, including your opponents and enemies.”

Lord Raymond was not a good father, nor a good lord, but he was definitely a qualified ruler.

After he took the throne of the great lord, he first made drastic changes, replacing gold mines with coal mines. Then he spent several years accumulating strength and winning over the rich. He took advantage of the turbulent years to turn things around, get rid of the control of the Church of Wealth, and made the rule of the Raymond family rock-solid from then on.

The Raymond family, as the top of the pyramid, sucked blood from everyone and collected taxes. The nobles and slave traders in the middle would also spontaneously maintain the authority of the rulers after making profits.

As for the lower classes who are being exploited, trafficked, and enslaved... who will listen to them?

In the extraordinary world, there are naturally only extraordinary voices. There may be professionals who climb up from the bottom, but they overcome difficulties along the way, defeat the evil lord, and live happily ever after - that is the story of the bard. In reality, professionals who climb up often become corrupted as soon as they come into contact with the scenery at a higher place, and become corrupted by the existence that once exploited them.

Therefore, as long as the Raymond family maintains the normal operation of this system, they can maintain their rule.

If Annan hadn't appeared, the Broken Mountains might have remained like this for decades or even hundreds of years, until some point in the future when the coal mines ran dry again.

Killian received the order and when he failed to find Annan, he led his team to block the open-pit coal mountain.

Annan, who was staying in the Black Reef Tavern, was not in a hurry because the free people needed time to develop.

Lord Raymond was not in a hurry either. The news was blocked and only a limited number of people knew about it, which would not affect his dignity as a lord.

The only one who is truly anxious is President Fellen.
