Alien world

Chapter 1578 Chapter 212. The traitor is found

Annan stretched lazily in the recliner and continued to take a nap.

Although there are meditation techniques and it doesn’t matter whether you sleep or not, a sufficient rest will give you more energy to handle official business.

With the excuse of sensing the believers' call, it became more justifiable for him to be lazy.

His left hand unconsciously stroked the princess's long hair on another recliner beside him, and Annan recalled the voices calling him today.

It’s still the same, the so-called believers’ calls cannot be seen or heard.

After being called for so long, although I couldn't spell out a complete paragraph, I could still distinguish prefixes such as "ruler of wealth" and "god of commerce and prosperity"...

But does the lady have another nickname, "God of Betrayal"?
Annan paused.

Or is it that religious person who is cursing?
As he was thinking this, a soft hand grabbed his hand and continued to touch it.

Annan smiled: "Wake up...why is it you?"

"Who do you think you are?"

The elf mentor sat up, and his wide moon-colored wizard robe outlined a stunning curve.

"I thought... uh, where did you dump the princess?"

The elf mentor pointed behind him.

The princess was lying under a tree, covered with a blanket, sleeping soundly.

"Sleep a little longer." The elf mentor stretched out her sinful hand.

Annan suddenly had an idea and dodged to the side and stood up:

"The situation in the north is turbulent. As the King of the North, how can I indulge in pleasure?"

One of Annan's survival rules: Don't be alone with the elves.

After taking a few steps, Annan felt relieved when he saw Luoxi's back.

He was talking to someone, and the sound of their conversation came with the wind:

"... Lord Annan is sleeping with the elf..."

"Ahem."

With a light cough, Annan walked over, gave Luo Xi a look that said he would deal with her later, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The soldier's expression was tense and he was not relaxed. "Lord Olmedo asked you to come over."

"bad news?"

Seeing the soldier nodded, Annan gradually pursed his lips.

……

"The Imperial Expeditionary Force was attacked and stopped for the first time since entering the North to repair the damage."

Annan’s first reaction was that there was indeed a trap.

My second reaction after reading the briefing was that it was worthy of the Empire. Even after stepping on a trap, they were able to fight back with almost no damage.

As for why they stopped... Annan thought it was a good thing. They rushed too fast before, and the logistics supply could not keep up, so it was easy to fall into the enemy's trap.

This time is an example.

The briefing is very short. For more details, you will have to wait for the Empire News.

But Annan had his own information channels.

"Maria, Gale or someone, quickly send us news about the Imperial Expeditionary Force!"

Olmedo frowned and stared at the location where the expeditionary force was stagnant on the map, rubbed his eyebrows, and shook his head.

"you're uncomfortable?"

Olmedo's little tricks are a bit too much.

"I accidentally fell asleep on the table last night..." Olmedo pounded his shoulder. "Ask the mage to cast a healing spell."

"I think so too."

Before the mage arrived, Annan stood behind Olmedo and massaged her shoulders.
"Hmm... I didn't know you could do this." Olmedo felt a little embarrassed when the opposite sex, especially Annan, pinched his shoulders.

"What's the problem? Just pinch it randomly. Do you want me to twist your neck for you?"

"no need……"

After a few minutes, Olmedo waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Annan thought that he could go to the Succubus Massage Shop to learn some massage techniques in the future, and give massages to his elder sister and Olmedo when he had nothing to do - this would minimize the possibility that they would say "Do something serious, Lord Annan".

As soon as he walked out of the office, Annan saw Luo Xi stopping someone at the corner and whispering to him:
"Lord Annan is being intimate with Olmedo..."

"cough……"

Losey stood up straight immediately: "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't know you were there!"

Annan ignored him and looked at the person who came: "If I remember correctly, you are Edward?"

Edward didn't expect that Lord Annan actually remembered him, and said excitedly: "Yes, I am Professor Griffin's deputy!"

"So there's news from the Potions Workshop?"

Deputy Edward quickly handed over a piece of parchment, and Annan glanced over it.

Even though he was a hands-off boss, he knew what the daily output and pass rate meant.

"Yes, take me there."

Annan followed Edward out, took a few steps and then stepped back, staring at Luo Xi: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to the front line to fill in the gap!"

Luo Xi was overjoyed: "Is there such a good thing?"

……

"The production of meditation potions has almost stabilized. We can start mass production of other potions at any time!"

Edward was talking, Annan was listening, and Griffin was following.

"Is it difficult to develop a potion to assist in combat?"

Considering the situation in the north, combat potions would be better, whether for improving the combat capability of Liberty City or exporting them.

"Lord Annan, the process for making the most common fatigue-reducing energy potion is three times that of making a meditation potion. If you make it directly, the yield rate will be very low." Griffin said.

"It doesn't matter. We don't lack money, we only lack time," said Annan.

Anyway, all expenses are borne by the Fortune Church.

As for the large amount of meditation potions that were refined these days, Annan distributed them to the mage apprentices in Liberty City as welfare.

In addition to the Potion Workshop, Annan encouraged them to research topics in the Golem Workshop, Mushroom House, Mage Tower Alchemy Room, Liberty City University and other places. With so much money invested, you can always hear a few noises, just like a magic airship.

It is indeed strange to add "magic" to original things, but these creations are indeed closely related to magic.

For example, for the airship, if there was no magic, they would have to continue trial and error. Now, a magic rune that can create "thermal airflow" can solve all the problems.

It is said that Martin has already built a 600-meter-long airship with a load capacity of ... pounds. Regardless of the load capacity, the size of the airship, which is similar to that of an old dragon, is enough to scare people.

Annan's good mood lasted for two days. On the third day, Stoon the Ratman brought back information from the battlefield:
McKeon's ratmen and demons ambushed the Imperial Expeditionary Force on the route it had to take. The Royal Mage Corps, Levies and the three major legions were safe, but the Black Watch Corps was trapped and the teleportation failed. Except for the legion commander and the chief mage, the whereabouts of all the others were unknown.

"Are you sure? Why didn't the newspaper say that?"

Olmedo could guess, "This is a scandal that will shake the entire Middle-earth. The Empire will definitely cover it up and prevent the news from spreading until they find the Black Watch."

"Can we still find it?" Annan's eyes lit up.

"I don't know... You deal with portals all the time, so you should know that once teleportation is interfered with, it will teleport the recipient to anywhere."

Underground, sky, other planes, even the void...
