Chapter 972 Section 203. Confrontation

Annan has never been a person with double standards. He hates evil and hates it. When he is offended, he either takes revenge on the spot or bears a grudge... But when there are no witnesses, no victims, and only groundless rumors, Annan will treat it as if it does not exist.

Maria is grateful for Annan's trust and is willing to help him continue to control Gale. It can also satisfy Maria's desire a little bit - it cannot be said that the history of ratmen is unique, but it is definitely rare for a brown-haired rat to coerce a gray-haired rat.

The only problem is that since Annan's side was replaced by Maria, many people lamented that Annan had changed his female companion again, and even sympathized with Gale.

On the night when the war report of the prince's hanging was sent back to Liberty City, Annan, who was meditating, suddenly felt a familiar sense of being trapped and was captured into the Holy Human Hall.

Annan thought something big had happened again, but he didn't expect that the spearhead of the incident was actually pointed at himself.

"I, Clo Montreal, want to accuse the King of the North, Annan Reeves, of starting a war in my kingdom!" Clo, who had retreated to the sixth row, stood up.

And Annan, who had moved all the way from the bottom to the middle row, found that he had never been so close to Clo, only five rows away.

He originally thought that it would take at least three to five years for him to get close to this distance... It can only be said that while he was making progress, Clo was also regressing, and they were running towards each other.

One of the maintainers of human order, the Skeleton King, said in a magnificent voice: "Annan Reeves, is this true?"

It was the first time that Annan knew that the Holy Council would manage the war between members. He stood up and said: "It is true, but the war was initiated by the Kingdom of Rekanel from the beginning."

The Holy Council was filled with amazement and whispers. They were not surprised by the war itself, but by the fact that Annan was actually a member of the Holy Council - a free city that was built only two years ago actually had the potential to enter here, why had he never mentioned it?

And he was sitting in the middle row... This means that the potential of the Free City in the eyes of the Holy Eye actually exceeded that of more than half of the human monarchs and lords.

They looked at the two young monarchs. Cloe looked gloomy, a little decadent and worried, with wolfish eyes. And Annan looked complicated, as if he was carrying a lot of things, but his eyes were bright and clear.

Even if they were not pedophiles or had special hobbies, they had to say that the title of "Champion Warlock" was well-deserved.

"You lied!"

Cloe stared at Annan fiercely like a wolf: "Your army and priests are causing chaos in my territory!"

Annan guessed that the priest he was talking about should be the Free Blade - those leaflets that awakened the civilians were indeed somewhat similar to missionary work.

"I don't know what happened to make you do the "reporting to the parents"..." Annan faced the culprit who brought pain to the North: "But you'd better think about it, what did you do before that?"

"What did I do? Send people to invade your territory?" Cloe spoke hoarsely, as if he was really innocent.

Annan shook his head: "No, I just sold out the information and let the ratmen destroy the Violet Kingdom. After the ratmen entered the country, I avoided fighting them and let them break through the Snow Mountain Fortress, releasing the demons, and causing the fall of a large area of ​​the North."

Kro was about to say something, but was interrupted by Annan: "If you don't admit it, I can find a witness to prove it."

Annan raised his head, and the vague figure on the golden throne cast an encouraging look.

At least two Supreme Kings stood on Annan's side. Although the Empire and the Kingdom of Recaner both have the surname Montreal, the gap between them is greater than that between Maria and Gale. And the Empire did nothing to target the Kingdom of Recaner since the Free City began, which shows something.

Annan is not familiar with other Supreme Kings. As for the Supreme King of the Or Empire, he may oppose Annan's approval, agree with Annan's opposition... or not.

This is not nonsense. Annan offended the son of Duke Kingsley, and both Duke Kingsley and Grand Marshal Galkin were trying to reduce the conflict, so the attitude of the Emperor of the Or Empire was unpredictable.

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

In front of the members of the Holy Council, Annan was not at all shy: "Why pretend to know nothing?"

"... That's not what I want to say."

Clo escaped from Annan's trap and returned to his own rhythm: "Your priests acted recklessly in the kingdom, turning honest and kind civilians into unruly people who only wanted to rebel. They attacked the residences of nobles and officials everywhere, causing chaos..."

His words aroused some recognition. After all, the world is the world of nobles, which is like a steel stamp on their minds.

"My soldiers even found your propaganda leaflets in the children's bedroom!"

Until Annan caught his flaw: "Why are your soldiers in the children's bedroom?"

"Because..." Clo was stunned and lost his rhythm for a short time. He was about to pick it up, but Annan deliberately interrupted him: "I forgot to tell you something, Vitalig is still alive."

Clo's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at Annan.

"Don't look at me like that, he's not here with me."

"You..." Clo could no longer keep calm, and forgot the words the minister had taught him before, and said stiffly: "Annan, you also killed our envoy..."

"The Skeleton King is here, I think he knows the truth better than you."

The eyes of the parliament were focused on the Skeleton King. He remained silent, but it was enough to explain something.

"My turn?"

Seeing that Crowe didn't speak, Annan asked: "Crowe, why did the Holy Grail Knight die?"

"I...I don't know."

"How do the Skaven know all the lines of defense in the Violet Kingdom?"

"I have no idea……"

"You mean, everything that happens in the kingdom has nothing to do with you?"

"This has nothing to do with what I am going to say today!" Crowe gritted his teeth and said, "Your people also killed my uncle, Prince Omo, and hanged him in front of all the civilians!"

Annan's face was expressionless: "I just did the same thing as you."

"Did you hear it? He admitted it!"

"Stop being so messy, Crow." Annan said softly.

Everyone can see that the balance of the debate is tilted towards Annan.

Crowe looks dressed up, but is actually naked.

"In the vast continent of Allen, the demise of a country is like a foam rolled up in the sea, which will soon burst. And it is just one of the countless bubbles that were born in an instant and burst in an instant in the long river of time."

"You're not as important as you think."

Annan raised his head slightly and looked down at Crowe like a superior:

"This is the first lesson I want to teach you: when you start a war, don't expect the war to be conducted according to the rules you want."
