Chapter 854 Section 85. How to turn the floating city into a war fortress?
Free City has nothing to do with grandeur since its establishment.
Although it has exquisiteness and planning that satisfy the elves, no one would associate it with grandeur.
At this moment, it floats above the plains sprinkled with morning light, casting a large shadow, silent and magnificent.
In the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion, all the main officials of Free City except Annan gathered here.
"Where is Annan?"
Olmedo changed into a black noble costume, with a solemn expression, as if the original lord of Breeze City had returned.
"He went to visit the blue dragon." Ingrid said.
"Then let's announce it first."
Olmedo stood up and picked up a list of deaths:
"The Hellfire Legion has 5,000 people, and 3,868 people were killed."
"The Fourth Legion has 500 people, and 281 people were killed."
"The Foreign Aid Legion has 4,200 people, and 2,926 people were killed."
"The Elite Team has 100 people, and no one survived."
The people at the round table looked at the list in Olmedo's hand in silence, which seemed to be dripping with blood.
The assets that Liberty City had worked hard to accumulate returned to the beginning of its establishment overnight.
This is war, a victory built on human lives.
They can only comfort themselves: at least we still have survivors, and the fifty or so coalition forces distributed in the Gray Mountain Range in the north were all annihilated, and those who escaped by chance were also treated as deserters by the Or Empire--
Although this emotion is not appropriate, the hatred brought by Broken Teeth and what happened just now make them expect the Or Empire to fall hard at the Northern Great Wall.
Just over ten minutes ago, the messenger of the Or Empire came to Liberty City arrogantly, claiming that Liberty City did not hold out until the 12th, and demanded that the floating city be recruited to go to the Gray Mountain Range to stop the rat tide.
But all the soldiers said with certainty that they evacuated at midnight on the 12th, and Evelyn had gone out to find evidence.
Knock knock knock --
The door of the meeting hall was knocked. Idyllia thought it was Annan, but Olmedo knew that Annan would not knock on the door.
Evelyn brought Aloma in and raised the magic record stone: "She recorded all the scenes of the soldiers holding on to Hell Mountain and breaking through!"
"It seems that we can ignore the ridiculous order of the Or Empire." Olmedo breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is evidence that they held out until the 12th, the Or Empire will no longer be qualified to point fingers at them and issue orders-if necessary, these records can also be used as evidence to criticize the stupid orders of the "Or Empire".
"The soldiers have been picked up, when will we go back?"
This question caused a disagreement in the meeting hall.
The people led by Lady Winter did not want to return to the Gem Bay in such a humiliating way. They at least had to give the ratmen some trouble.
The people led by Olmedo thought it was best to wait and see what would happen. They did not mind taking revenge on the ratmen, but they had to take revenge with a purpose. On the way here, they bypassed the Great Wall of the North, which had turned into a terrifying meat grinder. If they rashly joined the war, it would probably benefit the Or Empire over there.
In general, the atmosphere in Free City was very harmonious. Both sides were pro-war factions. One faction believed that the war should be fought, while the other faction believed that the former was not radical enough.
At this time, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and Annan appeared at the door.
Olmedo gave Idyliya a look that said "did you see it?" "How is Ilimoyas?"
"Uh... I gave her a box of gold coins and she was fine." Annan did not talk too much about this sad topic, "I just went to Ram Bratt's house..."
"The soldier who wrote the suicide note?" Olmedo had a good memory.
"Well, his brother Rem died in the war with the Mad Dog Duke."
"This is really..." Olmedo didn't know what to say, "His family must be very sad, right?"
"Well, his wife fainted after hearing the news of her husband's death, but his mother was very calm. I think it happened once..."
The bigwigs in the council hall listened quietly to Annan telling the story of an ordinary soldier.
This scene can only happen in Liberty City.
"There should be no men in their family, right? We should increase the pension and arrange jobs for them."
"The pension was not spent at that time... This is not the point. When I was about to go out, the mother suddenly asked me, 'Is my son brave on the battlefield?'"
Everyone was in awe of the heroic mother.
"I said 'Yes, he is the bravest warrior'..."
Annan had actually been back for a while and listened outside the door for a long time: "So what I want to say is that since we are here, it would be too easy for the rat people to leave like this."
They still have to fight the rat people, but not for the Or Empire.
Olmedo realized this and asked directly, "Which side are you on?"
"In the middle."
"I agree with Olmedo's purposeful fighting, and I also agree with Lady Winter's beating them hard." Annan spread his hands, "The rat tide is endless, how can we kill them all?"
"And what's the difference between using a floating city to deal with a rat tide and using fireballs to kill slave rats?"
As for revenge, it will bring resentment from the McKeon clan...did they think they would be hated by them when they killed the people of Free City?
"Do you really want to get rid of the McKeon clan?" Olmedo frowned.
"That's just a rumor spread by the soldiers..."
When magic muskets and magic cannons can fire continuously, and the number of the Hellfire Legion is more than the current total population, then we can have a luxury.
As the floating city drifted towards Hell Mountain, trying to rescue Ymir, Annan sat down in the meeting hall to discuss solutions.
The floating city was invincible, but it lacked effective means of killing rats.
"How did other floating cities do it?" Annan asked.
"No one asked the floating city to go to war." Dean Blechheim said.
Annan didn't believe it and looked at the Skeleton King.
"The number of times the floating city participated in the war was indeed very few."
"Why?" Annan was puzzled.
The floating city was not afraid of forbidden magic, and it was an air unit. It was simply a natural war fortress.
"Because the floating city is a floating city for the nobles." Olmedo gave Annan an answer.
The original intention of the floating city was to show status, not to go to war. How can the family continue if you fight desperately?
Just like the famous joke: there are only nobles who surrender, but no nobles who die.
"Don't you know how to make the floating city fight?"
Skeleton King said: "We know, Annan, but it can't be realized in the current Free City."
A standard combat floating city must have several wizard towers as turrets. Free City has wizard towers, but only one unfinished wizard tower.
Annan spent all his money on how to escape and defend, and didn't think about attacking at all.
While everyone was thinking hard, the maid Abby knocked on the door and pushed the food cart in: "Aunt Susan made apple pie and barbecue, you can discuss while eating."
The people who were thinking hard immediately exclaimed: "Great!"
