Alien world

Chapter 1561 Chapter 195. Cannons Flying into the Sky

Olmedo believes that Annan suffers from "fear of inadequacy", but she can understand and even empathize with him.

No one wants to see what happened to Breeze City and Moonlight Bay again. It is true that Liberty City is a floating city, but it is not meant for them to escape.

Annan was full of fighting spirit at this moment.

If he hadn't secretly asked Lilith to plan the "Guide for Residents to Escape from the Ratman Invasion".

"We can't be deserters, but we still have to preserve the fire when there is nothing we can do!" Annan said confidently.

The next day, the ratman elder came to see Annan.

"The identities of the ratmen who infiltrated the human world have been figured out. They are the eyes and ears of Festerclaw and Plaguetail."

"Ruined claws, plague tail?" It sounds very evil.

"The other two of the Three Rats." The rat elder's voice was as cold as if it had been dug into the snow-capped mountains.

Their full names are Crusherclaw Skellick and Plaguetail Fen'zul.

Together with the Skaven Elder, the "Three Rat Elders" form three clan Stoon forces operating in the North.

Speaking of which, Crunchclaw Skrik has a connection with Liberty City - the conspiracy between the Kingdom of Rak'ar and Breeze City was planned by it.

Annan remembered these two names, but still didn't say that he would kill them for him.

The ratman elder was the anxious one, and the two ratman elders had nothing to do with him.

As for revenge...any time is fine.

The sooner the profit is made, the better. The effort and reward are disproportionate. Annan doesn't mind digging the enemy out of his grave and whipping him as revenge after his death.

Finally, Annan told the elders of the ratmen to exert influence on the McKeon ratmen, so that they would not pay too much attention to the western part of Middle-earth. There is nothing here, and their coming here is in vain.

Although it may not be useful, it should be able to reduce the number of some high-level troops.

As intelligence from the Stoon Ratmen continued to arrive, the sand table in the strategy room began to be updated.

The imperial army made a brief rest at the northern Great Wall before heading straight out.

The North has long been the territory of the Skaven, and there are eyes everywhere. The Imperial Army was discovered as soon as it arrived at the Great Wall of the North, and summoned the nearby Skaven to try to stop the Empire's progress...

The battle report showed that the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, and on the sand table, the Imperial Army did not stop for a moment, crossing the Gray Mountain Range and turning into an arrow that went straight into the north.

The new issue of "Voice of Freedom" devotes an entire section to this war. In addition to the scenes of the Imperial Army's expedition, there are also images of ratmen and demon armies.

The newspaper specially printed 300,000 copies, but they were sold out on the first day, so they had to speed up the printing.

The news of the empire's expedition was published in every newspaper, and in terms of details, no newspaper could compare to the empire's local newspapers.

But apart from Liberty City, no one has the ability to obtain images of the ratmen and demons.

It really brought honor to Liberty City.

It is said that residents passing by the newspaper office heard bursts of ghostly howling coming from inside.

“Why should you buy ours and not others? Because we report what others cannot report!”

"What are the three elements of news, Shi Gemao?"

"Take things out of context, change concepts, and fabricate news!"

"Fart, it's timely, accurate, and scarce!"

This issue of "Voice of Freedom" was a big seller, and it also attracted readers' attention to a piece of news on the third page: Liberty City criticized Prince Leon's brutal act of killing envoys.

Changing the prefix of the Or Empire to Prince of Leon is also targeting the Or Empire, but it is different. For example, Prince of Leon's enemies must have changed from "you dare to scold us" to "I will scold you together".

Annan's words "Even the rat people will not kill envoys" made many imperial nobles who still had a conscience feel ashamed.

It's enough to get the majority of people on the side of Liberty City.

Olmedo had a more extreme idea, like… “No, absolutely not.”

Olmedo wanted to take the initiative to hunt the ratmen. Annan refused repeatedly. If he needed the lives of his warriors in exchange for a negotiation advantage, he would rather bow to the Olmedo Empire.

There is nothing shameful in yielding to the Thirteen Supreme Kings.

In the midst of this, the second messenger set out.

By March, the imperial army was advancing northward like a hot knife cutting through butter, unstoppable.

The well-prepared Liberty City did not receive the coalition of ratmen and demons, but instead received the first snow in early March.

The flying snow covered the newly green land, turning Liberty City back into winter in one day.

Lilith stood on the fourth floor of the Mage Tower, which was about to be completed, and looked to the north: "There are demon warlocks manipulating the celestial phenomena."

"Disperse the dark clouds and help the farmers protect the seedlings." Annan said immediately.

There were no short-sighted officials in Free City, and they all carried out Annan's will. The dark clouds that had troubled tens of thousands of farmers were immediately dispelled, and the sun shone, melting the snow.

But their neighbors were not so lucky. Countless crops were killed or damaged by the freezing weather.

After Liberty City finished its work at Gem Bay, it went to support its allies, but was able to only rescue a small part.

The neighboring lord is quite open-minded. If the ratmen are kept, there is still time to sow. If the ratmen cannot be kept, there is no need to farm.

He is very optimistic. Anyone who sees the strength of Liberty City will inevitably feel that "we are really awesome."

Good news also came from the Mushroom House. Young Master Dumbledore asked Annan to go over there.

"Any new breakthrough?"

Annan was surprised when he was brought to the golem laboratory by Mr. Dumbledore.

"The breakthrough is in another direction..."

At least Dumbledore said that a new set of activation runes could be added to the golem, which would activate the runes to self-destruct when it was trapped by a swarm of rats or when its energy was exhausted, causing widespread casualties.

"How much is a Golem?"

"Our cost is now as low as 150 gold coins."

"Spend 150 gold coins to listen to something?" Annan looked at him as if he was a prodigal.

"It's a waste for a golem without magic power to be surrounded by a tide of rats."

That's true, but what he hit wasn't a ratman, it was clearly his own hard work...

He missed the elements.

"Pretend..." Annan had no choice but to obey and asked about the armed forces of Count Urmit's floating city.

"Three hundred magic cannons are equivalent to three hundred elite wizards continuously casting fireballs." said Dumbledore.

Annan was tempted. If he hadn't spent all his money on preparing for the war, he would have bought a few more floating turrets...

"Lord Annan, actually, magic cannons are best installed on airships." Dumbledore frowned, "It's just that the load capacity of an airship is too low. An airship as big as a room can only carry the weight of two or three people."

"If we want to modify the floating gunboat, we have to increase the airship's carrying capacity."

"Why are you firing cannons at an airship? Wouldn't it be better to just drop bombs?" Annan pointed at Mr. Deng who was trapped in a thinking trap.

"But you're on the right track. The heavier the airship's load, the higher the damage. If necessary, the airship itself can be used as a weapon."

"Airship... as a weapon?"

"If a two- or three-hundred-meter-long airship fell from above your head, would you be afraid?"
