Alien world

Chapter 1346 268. Retreat

The blue dragon soared high above the Golden City, with clouds floating beside it.

The magnificent Golden City was like a miniature model on a huge sand table; everything seemed so small and insignificant.

Countless people fought over countless years, and all they had was a small piece of land... Everyone came and left, leaving nothing behind...

Annan shook his head, threw away the inexplicable emotion, and looked towards the outskirts of the Golden City: there were two groups of "ants" fighting each other.

Relying on the information from the wanderers, the great lord
"Should we go over and help?" Annan asked.

"Help whom?"

"Of course it's Nezumi."

But I thought that they might not know me, or appreciate it, and there were more important things to do.

Annan gave up the idea and patted Ilimoyas's dragon scales: "Forget it, let's go to the Broken Mine."

Elimoas turned and flew northeast.

With the flying speed of the dragon, it only took them an hour to reach the broken mining area.

Compared to the chaos we've seen along the way, the Broken Mine is unusually peaceful, or is it the calm before the storm?
After falling into the hands of the Freedom Gang, Annan finally understood the reason for the peace - the Freedom Gang, which had received the captives, had grown to 10,000 people, with more than 200 professionals, a dozen elites, and a master, not to mention the workers in the mines.

So, can these people together compete with the great lord?
Annan is not sure because the Church of Wealth also stands on the side of the great lord.

Seeing that the Broken Mountains were gradually turning into a quagmire, dragging him deeper, Annan knew that he should prepare to retreat.

In the final analysis, Annan was too arrogant...

Annan's previous experiences clouded his mind, making him think that this time he could easily end the war and save the locals from danger with the help of the Free Blade and the Osculus Mercenaries.

Reality gave Annan a loud slap in the face.

"We'll send the workers away first, then meet up with Wilson and the others, and exit the Broken Mountains after we find Skeeter."

Annan decided to take everyone away first, as they would be targets if they stayed here.

"Leave it to us, Skeeter. You go ahead—"

"I am the employer and I have the final say." Annan's words carried a tone that could not be refused.

Luo Fei held her chest with both hands, and her eyes were almost full of stars. Captain Ryan took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Gathering all the workers and gang members, Annan opened five portals in succession and sent them to Liberty City - the working population of Liberty City increased by 10,000.

In addition to Annan and his gang, there are some gang members who want to stay voluntarily.

Joan left the professionals behind and asked all the ordinary people to leave.

As for Volod and the other two, Annan gave them a chance: "After we find Skeeter, I will take you away with me, and then set you free."

"I'm staying," said loyal Hart.

"up to you."

While moving the crowd, Annan asked the musketeers on the other side: "The cloud is moving so fast, where is Liberty City going?"

"Uh……"

The City Lord's Mansion has ordered to keep the secret from Annan and give him a "surprise".

Seeing him hesitating, Annan didn't ask any more questions. After sending everyone away, he opened the portal to Little Smo's side.

The noisy shouting and killing sounds suddenly came from the other side of the portal.

Annan saw that Little Smo and a large number of ratmen were surrounded in a basin by human soldiers and were being strangled.

"What's going on?" Annan asked Little Smo who was standing in front of the door.

"The lords of the Broken Mountains are hunting rats everywhere. They have discovered our presence and are attacking us." Little Smalls said quickly.

Annan nodded: "Go and help!" Hearing the battle, Gloria rushed into the melee in the distance. A vertical chop separated the helmet of a heavily armored soldier, and then a horizontal sweep cut into the plate armor of another heavily armored soldier next to her.

She stepped on her chest and pulled out her battle axe. She raised her chin provocatively towards the champion rat beside her: "Rat man, how about a contest to see who can kill the most?"

Captain Ryan and Jody followed closely behind, leading their horses. They mounted their warhorses and began to charge, knocking the lord's soldiers off their horses.

Jody rescued an elite rat that was being besieged and couldn't help shouting, "I never dreamed that I would fight alongside the ratmen one day in my life!"

"Ilimayas..." Joan also looked at the blue dragon expectantly.

Ilimayas responded by transforming into a blue dragon, allowing Joan to climb onto her back with a cheer, and then she soared into the air with a strong gust of wind.

With the arrival of Annan and others, the situation changed from tense to one-sided, and even the ratman priests who were casting fel spells in the rear became more excited.

Following the track of green evil energy, Annan found the ratman priest and the ratman elder who were protected by elite rats.

He walked over, and two elite rats raised their spears in warning.

"Let him come over."

The elite rats stepped back, revealing the ratman elder with a complicated expression.

The rat elders' emotions towards Annan have evolved: from only intending to use him at the beginning, to having to cooperate with him later, to loving and hating him, and finally to feeling relieved when seeing him...

The ratman elder signaled the ratman priest to take the elite rats to the front line, and then said: "Annan, thank you for saving my nephew."

"Your nephew?"

"The mole."

Annan turned his head and looked around, and found the black mole lying on the shoulder of a rat.

He was shocked and said, "You are a gray-haired mouse, how come you have a mole nephew?"

"Stop meddling in the rat people's business!"

……

"Ryan, you actually cooperated with the ratmen. You are really a shame to the Paladins!"

Seeing the army go from being evenly matched to being defeated, the lord who led the troops himself shouted in anger.

Captain Ryan was not surprised that he knew him - in addition to Annan's wanted poster, their Osculus Mercenary Group's wanted posters were also posted all over the streets.

"Sir Annan Reeves once told me that he had seen the most despicable human and the most noble rat-man. Race is only a person's background color and cannot explain anything."

"You call my soldiers mean?"

"This requires us to ask why your great lord wants Mr. Annan wanted."

"Because you are bringing destruction to the Broken Mountains, and we only want to protect our homeland!"

"Protect the people, or protect you?"

Captain Ryan swept across the battlefield, and the soldiers brought by the lord gradually retreated around him.

"Surrender, Lord Raymond is going crazy, or do you want to be buried with him?"

Unexpectedly, the lord was a loyal follower of Lord Raymond. He drew his sword and roared: "Even if I die here, I will deal with you filthy bugs!"

puff--

Without any sign or sound, in front of everyone and his personal guards, a black arrow suddenly pierced the lord's eye socket, exploding in a ball of blood.

The Nameless One put away his bow and arrow.

"Well, you're dead."
