Alien world

Chapter 1327 249. Confrontation
Aga, dressed as a lich, floated away, leaving Annan alone in the sea of ​​fire.

Undead creatures are just dumber and don’t even know how to put out a fire.

Oh, Annan is definitely not talking about Mr. Skeleton King.

Annan walked out of the sea of ​​fire, where crackling and collapsing sounds were heard everywhere, and came to the street.

The Black Reef Tavern was burning fiercely, but the entire street was silent in the middle of the night, without even a trace of anyone running or shouting.

The attackers, however, stood stiffly on the street.

As soon as Aga came out, he released a large-scale aura of weakness. In the face of absolute strength, the attackers had no possibility of resistance or suicide and were frozen in place.

"Killian, why is it you?"

When Annan saw Killian, he looked surprised, as if he had not expected it to be him.

"How I wish I could hear you say you were just passing by..."

Annan's superb acting skills made Killian feel guilty and he dared not look him in the eye: "Sorry, you are too good and make me jealous..."

"Lift your head and look at me."

Annan looked at him for a few seconds: "You are not the real murderer, right?"

Killian remained silent.

"Let me think about it. Only the great lord can give you orders..."

"Do not--"

"…and Elvis Raymond."

Killian was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Neither, I was just jealous of your excellence, so I planned this attack. I'm sorry..."

With inexpressible pain, he whispered, "You're still alive."

"Are you still going to lie now?"

Annan said this sadly, and before he finished speaking, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard in the distance on the street.

The guards arrived just in time.

Let Aga go back first. It is not suitable to show up in front of outsiders, even in the Broken Mountains where information is blocked. Annan and Killian said, "Look, the person you have carefully maintained has already prepared for your exit."

The captain of the guards strode up to them, glanced at a secret guard who was not dead, and said gloomily: "What's going on?"

Killian rushed to say: "I attacked my uncle's guest, Annan Reeves."

"What!?"

If it were an actor interview for a new Magic Picture now, Annan would definitely fail this pretentious guy without hesitation.

He interrupted their lame acting and said to the captain of the guard: "You and I both know why you are here. Come on, take me to see the commander-in-chief. I think he is waiting for news."

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"The great lord understands, you just need to take me."

The captain of the guards was sent to keep an eye on Killian, which meant he knew a lot of inside information. After a slight hesitation, he waved his hand and asked his men to take Killian and the secret guards away, while he led Annan to the Golden Palace.

On the way, Annan was thinking about the cause of the attack.

Logically, the overlord should still be playing games, and I was pretending to play games with him, so why did I suddenly overturn the table?
Could it be that Joan had made some big noise again without him knowing?

...Annan guessed half right.

It was Joan who made the big noise, but it wasn't just Joan.

Relying on treatment and promises that no one else could give, Joan's Freedom Gang expanded rapidly like a snowball, and in just three days it had nearly 5,000 members, almost one-third of the population of the entire Broken Mining Area.

Originally Joan hadn't intended the situation to develop so quickly, but their attention was focused on the actions of the Oyster Gang. Strangely, the Oyster Gang didn't make any moves. Then they turned around and found that there were a lot more people in the Freedom Gang.

They were a little too full.

The price of increasing the population in a short period of time is chaos. You have to admit that even the workers are not good people.

Many of them have experience in theft.

However, due to lack of manpower, the spread of the Freedom Blade concept has had little effect.

If the revolution is not thorough, it is not a revolution at all.

If it is not controlled, it will not be long before the Freedom Gang will return to the old path of other forces.

While Joan and Jodie were racking their brains, Smalls and Wilson led the free people to disperse throughout the territories of the Broken Mountains, agitating the hard laborers in the coal mines, and not only the hard laborers, but also the farmers and civilians who could not survive.

Logically, these riots would not have reached the ears of those in power so quickly, but Lord Raymond was a leader with a strong desire for control.

At the beginning of the riot, he ordered the local lords to deal with the problem as soon as possible, and took the opportunity to question them: I have collected 70% of the taxes from the people, why do the mobs still have money to buy supplies and weapons to resist?

If I only collected 50% of the tax, I could understand the mob's rebellion, because after layers of exploitation, the remaining money would probably be enough for them to start a riot. But the remaining 30% would definitely not allow them to riot successfully. The mob must have stolen the tax money that should have belonged to me, what a bunch of dirty thieves!
As a result, the more the lords suppressed them, the more violently the poor people with no way out erupted, and there were even cases where the lords were driven out of their territories.

When Lord Raymond was about to send the sheriff of Golden City to suppress the riots, he suddenly connected the frequent riots with the open-pit coal mountains and broken mining areas, and realized that there was a problem.

"I want more information about Annan, more!"

Then, the details of the war between Free City and the Kingdom of Rekanel were brought to Lord Raymond.

The arrogant lord could no longer be arrogant.

Lord Raymond suffered a great loss due to the contempt that resulted from Annan's age and appearance, and he realized that the game could no longer continue.

This attack was like a reminder or warning - to let Annan know when to stop, and to stop now so that everyone can maintain dignity.

It’s a pity that Lord Raymond entered the struggle with Annan with naive ideas - he thought he could stop the game that had already started at any time.

When he arrived at the Golden Palace, Annan met Lord Raymond, who was curled up on a sofa that looked like a bed in the lounge.

Annan imagined a meeting where Lord Raymond's bloated face, stretched out by fat, would show false enthusiasm, open his arms and say, "Annan, I'm glad you're okay. I never thought something like this would happen in my city."

The result was quite the opposite. Lord Raymond's first question was: "What did your people do!"

Annan had to swallow back his own question: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

wow-

Lord Raymond threw a piece of parchment at Annan's feet.

Annan looked down and saw that it said: A riot broke out in the Tek territory, the territory was lost, and the lord was hanged.

No wonder...this fits the bill.

"Your people killed my lord and took my territory. This is war!"

Raymond asked from the bottom of his heart: "I just want your money, but you want to overthrow me!?"
