Alien world

Chapter 1493 Chapter 127. The End of the Game
"There's a big world out there, but we're stuck here fighting each other. Don't you think that's a shame?"

Annan's usual tactic of "giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date" can be extremely destructive when used on children.

Mias barely held on for a few seconds before he awkwardly grasped the hand Cathy extended.

Even the eldest child surrendered, so naturally the remaining children stopped resisting.

After winning the battle with zero casualties, Cathy began to reward the troops according to their merits.

The "Earth Knight" gets ten candies, the child who rushes in the fastest and throws the most accurately gets five candies, and the other children each get three candies.

Cathy treated everyone equally and gave one to the eager "captives", instantly gaining the children's loyalty.

The enemy "Mias" naturally looked down on mere candy, so Cathy gave him the rank of "Noble Knight" instead.

In the shadows of the alley, a silhouette witnessed Cathy's journey from attacking the city to winning people's hearts.

As they were about to retreat, a silhouette emerged from the shadows, like a shadow approaching a group of noisy children.

Peterson, who had the second best vision, looked over cautiously: "Who are you?"

The children suddenly became quiet, and the "Earth Knight" stepped forward and stood in front of Cathy.

Cathy poked her head out pretending to be curious: "Peterson is asking you."

The outline passed over Cathy's hands behind her back and she lifted her cloak: "I am the Scavenger Centurion."

Peterson didn't know her, but Cathy recognized her, or rather, recognized the ugly centipede-like scar on the Centurion's face.

"Father Annan told me about you. You two knew each other in Betar City."

The centurion didn't fall into the trap: "It's Breeze City."

Cathy heaved a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the Earth Knight: "What do you want from me?"

"You just became the overlord of the residents under ten years old in Liberty City."

Cathy snorted proudly: "How did you know?"

"The scavenger knows everything."

The children exclaimed in amazement, but if Annan were here, he would laugh at the scavengers who were beaten and fled in panic by the ratmen in the North. If he hadn't rescued them, they would have been wiped out.

"I like your line 'It's a big world out there, but we're fighting here'"

The centurion walked through the crowd of children who looked like wheat seedlings and came to Cathy.

"Your game is fun, but it lacks some authenticity and excitement."

"Authenticity?"

"Yes."

The Centurion reaches out to Mias in "This scene is so familiar":
"Are you interested in catching mice?"

……

"Aren't you going?"

Idilia turned around and asked Annan who was walking into the office.

The words "You used to be the leader among the kids" turned over in my mind for a few times but were never spoken out loud.

“My game is on a bigger stage.”

Idilia smiled gently: "It seems that our brother is already a qualified lord."

"Of course, I'm off to take care of business."

Annan walked out with pride, and standing in the corridor, he turned back belatedly.

Have I been fooled?

……

Tickets were not required for the awards ceremony, but after following the competition for more than half a month, most people wanted to relax and watch it outside. Even so, the arena was still packed.

Those sitting in the front row were all important figures, such as Cathy, who sat with her eldest sister, and Mias, who sat with her father.

And, of course, there was Archduke Girardi, who covered his face to avoid being recognized.

Those who chose to eat and watch outside soon regretted missing out on the event.

At Annan's invitation, famous opera troupes from all over the world came to Free City to perform on stage.

There is Catalina, the "Swan Neck" from the Flower City in the South, and there is the Silver Opera Troupe from the Silver City.

Faro also performed a show, still deliberately making a fool of himself, but his mood was completely different from the past, and he made the audience laugh.

The award ceremony was arranged to be even more exciting than the finals.

There’s nothing wrong with the award ceremony of the “Singer Contest” next door, but it’s completely different from Liberty City, which treats the award ceremony as a grand event.

Well-known opera troupes took turns to perform on stage, presenting wonderful performances for the audiences in the Colosseum and the commercial street.

The award ceremony officially began at eight o'clock in the evening.

Bailey Knight, Saint Leia, Silver Dragon Onyxia, Siren Imo, Orc Hama, Gold Dragon Terragon, Necromancer Alsir, Bard Francis, Brass Dragon Marduk, Silver Maw Bernd.

Ten contestants stood in a row with prize money piled up behind them, ranging from 1000 to 10000.

This was Annan's specific request. The money had to be displayed to have an impact and to become a hot topic.

As for what to do if they can't take so much money with them? It doesn't matter, the savings bank will considerately help them exchange the money for deposit certificates.

The top three will also receive an extra reward - Annan will present them with silver and bronze crowns representing the second and third place winners.

The silver crown complements Onyxia's identity and silver hair, further highlighting her beauty.

It was just that Onyxia's attention was a little distracted. She wanted to cast her eyes on Annan and say something ambiguous, but the temptation of the pile of kinnars was too great.

"congratulations."

Finally, Annan stood in front of the Saint, and suddenly found that Laya was a little tall...

Fortunately, the considerate saint lowered her head, allowing Annan to personally put on her a pure gold laurel crown with a gold star inlaid on it, symbolizing the championship.

"It's my honor." The saint whispered.

Annan turned around and faced the audience standing up and cheering together with the saint.

When the applause died down, Peterson waved to the musicians on the sidelines.

"start!"

Soothing music sounded over the arena. Annan and ten contestants stood on the stage and sang a newly released song together: "Hand in Hand" composed by Annan.

As for what to do since this song was originally supposed to be used in "Free Peak" but has now been moved to "All-People Singer"... we'll talk about it when the time comes.

"We hold hands and our friendship spreads to all directions."

"We can make the world a better place—"

When the song reached its climax, many figures came from the sidelines and stepped onto the stage.

The audience looked at the various people, there were children, that was Ruth, there were old people, that was the fishmonger Old Jack, there were men, there were women... In addition to them, there were also the contestants who had been eliminated before.

Humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, dragons, ratmen, undead, vampires... They stood together, holding hands, guarding Annan in the center and singing together.

"We hold hands and our friendship spreads to all directions."

"Tear down all the obstacles between us—"

The combined voices rose into the night sky, echoing among the bright magical flames.

At least at this moment, Liberty City has built a peaceful, beautiful, and short dream for Allen's world.
