Chapter 1327 Chapter 249. Confrontation

Aga, disguised as a lich, floated out, leaving Annan alone in the sea of ​​fire.

Undead creatures are just a bit stupid, and they don't even know how to put out fires.

Oh, Annan is definitely not talking about Mr. Skeleton King.

Annan walked out of the sea of ​​​​fire, filled with crackling and collapsing sounds, and came to the street.

The Black Reef Tavern was burning brightly, but the entire street in the middle of the night was silent, with no one running and shouting.

The attackers, on the other hand, remained frozen in the street.

As soon as Ajia came out, he released a large-scale weak halo. Facing the absolute strength, the attackers had no possibility of resisting or committing suicide, and they were all stagnated in place.

"Killian, why is it you?"

Annan looked surprised when he saw Killian, as if he didn't expect it to be him.

"How I wish I could hear the news that you were just passing by..."

Annan's superb acting skills made Killian feel guilty and did not dare to look at her: "I'm sorry, you are so good that you make me jealous..."

"Lift your head and look at me."

Annan looked at him for a few seconds: "You're not the real murderer, are you?"

Killian remained silent.

"Let me think about it, the only one who can order you is the Great Lord..."

"No--"

“…and Elvis Raymond.”

Killian was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "No, it's just that I was jealous of your excellence, so I planned this attack. It's a pity..."

He whispered with unspoken anguish, "You're still alive."

"Do you still want to lie now?"

Annan said sadly. After the words fell, there was a mess of footsteps in the distance of the street.

The guards arrived "just in time".

Let Ajia go back first, it is not suitable to show up in front of outsiders, even the Broken Mountains where there is no information. Annan and Killian said: "Look, the person you have carefully maintained has already prepared for your exit."

The guard captain strode to them, glanced at a secret guard who was not dead, and asked with a gloomy face, "What's going on?"

Killian rushed to say: "I attacked my uncle's distinguished guest, Annan Reeves."

"What!?"

If it were an audition for an actor in a new movie, Annan would definitely fail this pretentious guy without hesitation.

He interrupted their lame acting and said to the guard captain: "You and I both know why you are here. Come on, take me to see the commander-in-chief. I think he is waiting for news."

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"The Great Lord understands, you just need to take me there."

The fact that the guard captain was sent to keep an eye on Killian meant that he knew a lot of inside information. After a slight hesitation, he waved his hand and asked his men to take Killian and the secret guard away, while he led Annan to the Golden Palace.

On the way, Annan was thinking about the cause of the attack.

It stands to reason that the big lord should still be playing games, and I was pretending to play games with him. Why did she suddenly turn over the table?

Could it be that Joan made some big noise again without her knowing?

…

Annan guessed half of it right.

It was Joan who made the big noise, but it was not just Joan.

Relying on treatment and promises that others could not provide, Joan's Free Gang rapidly expanded like a snowball, reaching nearly 5,000 gang members in just three days, which was almost one-third of the population of the entire crushing mining area.

Originally, Joan didn't expect it to develop so fast, but they were all focused on watching the movements of the Oyster Gang. The strange thing was that the Oyster Gang remained silent. Then they turned around and found that the Freedom Gang had a lot more people.

They were a bit "overstuffed."

The cost of increasing a large population in a short period of time is chaos. You have to admit that even workers are not good people.

Many of them have the experience of stealing.

However, disseminating the concept of the Blade of Freedom has had little effect due to lack of manpower.

If the revolution is not thorough, it means there is no revolution at all.

If it is not controlled, it won't be long before the Freedom Gang will go back to the old path of other forces.

While Joan and Jodi were thinking hard, Little Small and Wilson led the freedmen to disperse in various territories in the Broken Mountains, inciting the hard workers in the coal mines, and not only the hard workers, but also the farmers and civilians who could not survive.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Logically speaking, these widespread riots would not reach the ears of those in power so quickly, but Lord Raymond was a leader with a strong desire for control.

At the beginning of the riot, he ordered the local lords to deal with the problem as soon as possible, and took the opportunity to question them: I have already collected 70% of the private tax rate, why do those mobs still have money to buy supplies and weapons to resist?

If I only collected 50% of the tax, I would still understand the mob's resistance, because after all the layers of exploitation, the money left over would probably be enough for them to launch a riot. But the remaining 30% is absolutely impossible for them to succeed in the riot. The mob must have stolen the tax money that should belong to me, these dirty thieves!

As a result, the more suppressed the lords were, the more violent the outbursts of poor people who had no way out were made, and there were even cases where the lords were driven out of their territories.

When Lord Raymond was about to send the Sheriff of Golden City to suppress the riots, he suddenly connected the frequent riots with open-pit coal mountains and broken mining areas, and noticed a problem.

"I want more information about Annan, more!"

Then, the details of the war between Free City and the Kingdom of Rekaner were presented to Lord Raymond.

The arrogant high lord cannot continue to be arrogant.

Because of Annan's age and appearance, the contempt caused Lord Raymond to suffer a great loss, and he realized that the game could not continue.

This attack was like a reminder or warning - let Annan stop at the right time, and everyone should keep each other decent.

It's just a pity that Lord Raymond entered the struggle with Annan with naive ideas - he thought he could stop the game at any time.

Arriving at the Golden Palace, Annan met Lord Raymond curled up in a sofa like a bed in the lounge.

Annan imagined that the meeting would be Lord Raymond's bloated face stretched by fat with false enthusiasm, open his hands and say: "Annan, I'm glad you're okay. I can't imagine that such a thing would happen in my city."

The result was completely opposite. Lord Raymond's first sentence was to question: "What did your people do!"

Annan had to swallow back the question that originally belonged to him: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Crash--

Lord Raymond threw a piece of parchment and threw it in front of Annan's feet.

Annan looked down and saw that it was written: A riot broke out in the Tek territory, the territory was lost, and the lord was hanged.

No wonder... this is a correspondence.

"Your people killed my lord and took away my territory. This is a war!"

Raymond asked from the bottom of his heart: "I just want your money, but you want to overthrow me!?"
