Alien world

Chapter 1842, Section 475: The Wise Man Annam

"We are not demons manipulated by desire."

Biros's snake tail, relieved yet somewhat disappointed, rolled up the bottle of soda on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

He rallied his spirits again: "You really like soda?"

Annan asked Abby, the head maid, to bring a few more drinks.

Biros did not deny it; she set down her water glass with the grace of a noblewoman.
"It boils like lava, but is refreshingly cool and doesn't have the aggressiveness of lava. It's amazing."

Annan continued, "There are countless things in the main world that are even more wondrous than this, Biros, why can't you just enjoy all of this?"

Annan hoped that Biros would give up the war, but in her mind, it was automatically translated as: if you take these good things from the prime plane, they will all belong to the demons.

Seeing that so many days had passed and progress was still slow, Annan secretly wiped away his sweat.

Biros is far more difficult to deal with than a succubus...

Annan did nothing, yet the lustful demon conquered itself. Meanwhile, the six-armed serpent demon, after all these days of following him around, watching magical videos, and chatting, still showed no sign of interest in anything.

Dumbledore kept coming to urge Annam, but unfortunately, Bélos wasn't familiar enough with him to be completely honest with him.

If he dared to take her to the Mushroom House, the next day his reputation as a pervert would spread among the demons.

If all else fails, Annan will have no choice but to sacrifice his charms and forcibly bind Biros to Liberty City...

But she is a demon. Even the few orderly races in the Abyss are demons. What if she runs away after she's done with them?
As he pondered, Peterson appeared in the corridor and called out in advance, "Your Majesty Annan!"

"What is it?" Annan looked towards the door.

Peterson then moved closer, making a face at him.

"Is there news from the Empire?"

"Um……"

Annan prepared to get up, but then sat back down: "Biros is no outsider, so just say it."

"The empire's war envoy has arrived and is waiting for you outside."

Messenger of War...

Biros's tail tip swayed slightly, which was clearly the information that Lady Lilith needed, but she lacked an opportunity to participate.

Annan Reeves has more composure than I imagined; he hasn't revealed his true nature yet.

Do I have to take the initiative myself?
But he's a warlock, and a notorious one at that, with a penchant for other races. What if he runs away with it and then abandons his responsibilities?
"I'll be there right away."

Annan stood up and noticed that Biros was still sitting there. Realizing this was a good opportunity, he invited her to come along.

"Let me see the Imperials?"

"Don't worry, you are now a member of Free City."

……

The war envoy stood in the council chamber like a statue.

At one point, he suddenly sensed the presence of a demon.

The scale-armored gloves hanging on both sides unconsciously gripped the hilt of the heavy sword at his waist, and then he looked up at the gate and saw Annan leading a six-armed snake demon over.

After a brief silence, the war envoy released his grip and conveyed the invitation from the Imperial Military Ministry: to invite Annan Reeves to the Montreal Hill Palace Gardens to discuss the alliance.

at last……

Annam breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the Empire was definitely going to deal with the chaotic forces in the north.

"Understood, I'll prepare and depart soon." Annan instructed Peterson to entertain the war envoy, then suddenly remembered something: "May I ask, besides Liberty City, who else is there?"

The war envoy's deep eyes, hidden behind his helmet, swept over the six-armed serpent demon behind Annan: "The Kingdom of Dimon."

As expected, the empire chose the two of them.

One has been fighting against the forces of chaos for years, while the other has been colluding with the forces of chaos for years.

The triangle, as the most stable shape, is universally applicable to many things.

For example, a qualified mercenary trio needs: a heavily armored warrior who can fight and withstand attacks, a ranger who can distract the enemy and gather intelligence, and a wise man who can use wisdom and strategy to turn big troubles into small troubles and small troubles into nothing.

Clearly, Annan was positioned as the "wise man" within the triangular alliance envisioned by the empire.

Regardless of his intelligence, Annan certainly had ways to solve problems without resorting to force.

If the empire needed a six-armed serpent demon, it would either march in with a large army to capture it directly, or capture a legion commander and threaten to exchange it for the six-armed serpent demon, rather than using any means of enticement or corruption.

For example, bringing Biros was also part of the plan.

Bringing her along would make Biros feel like she's not an outsider, giving her a sense of belonging, and also letting her know the status of the Free City in Middle-earth.

Even the Empire is allied with Liberty City. Wouldn't you have a better future than the Demons if you followed Liberty City?
Annan then took Biros to Olmedo's office to tell her the good news.

“Um… signing such an important agreement, isn’t it inappropriate to have someone else do it on your behalf?” Annan kept rubbing his hands like a fly.

"Not suitable."

"It wouldn't be appropriate for us to be absent from such an important occasion, would it?"

"Even less suitable."

"So I still have to go there myself... right?"

"You've already made up your mind, so who are you trying to impress by pretending to discuss this?" Olmedo sneered, mercilessly exposing Annan's hypocritical facade.

Biros watched this scene and suddenly found it very interesting.

This human was just a deputy, yet he dared to mock and ridicule Annan Reeves.

She and Lady Lilith had been friends since childhood, and she wouldn't dare act like that in front of her.

"Different."

Annan shook his finger: "If I left without saying anything, even if you understand, you wouldn't feel good about it. But since I came to discuss it with you, you'll feel much better knowing that I've made a decision."

Olmedo couldn't argue with Annan, so he urged him to hurry up and go with the war envoy.

“There’s one more thing. I want to go with Biros.” Annan looked at the six-armed snake demon.

The six-armed serpent demon, whose head was almost touching the ceiling, cast a puzzled look at him: "Why?"

"The Empire is determined to eliminate the forces of Chaos this time, with the Skaven bearing the brunt, followed by the Demons. I know you have betrayed your people, but there are always some emotions that are hard to sever, such as those with the Succubus Queen, and some friends..."

"If you come with me, we can still persuade the Empire to show mercy."

Biros refused, saying she didn't want to show her face in public or represent any power.

No one can act in front of Annan. Annan sensed that the six-armed serpent demon's emotions were genuine at that moment—or perhaps she didn't believe the empire could threaten the demons.

Annan readily expressed his understanding and offered her an excuse: if Biros went to the Empire with him, she would definitely be discovered by the Chaos Cult. She had just joined his side and her mindset hadn't yet shifted from the demonic camp.

But besides the above, Annan also had plans to "show off" with Biros – although the Empire already knew that a six-armed serpent demon had defected to the Free City, hearing about it and seeing it with one's own eyes are always different.
