Chapter 993 Section 224 Arrival at the New Capital
Chapter 993 Chapter 224. Arriving at the New Royal Capital
Femi led a group of men around the town and headed straight to the Land of the Dead in the southwest.
The town behind him was still silent and motionless... This scene had already happened once in "Let the Magic Fly".
Femi showed no expression and continued to run out of the dark mayor with his men.
At this time, the guard caught up with him on horseback: "Sir, someone is following us!"
Femi turned around and saw a light of fire emerging from the edge of the dark town. Then, more and more torches lit up from the darkness, turning from sparse stars into numerous stars, and gathered into a fire dragon.
"Great, it seems to be working!"
the guard shouted excitedly.
Femi withdrew his gaze and asked the cavalry to slow down so that they could catch up and approach the land of the dead.
Will-o'-the-wisps floated in the Land of the Dead late at night, and the souls of the dead and skeleton soldiers awakened by the strong breath of death wandered in the Land of the Dead.
As they approached, the owner of this place, a banshee who gave birth to will, appeared: "Irving people, you have rashly stepped into the sleep of the dead. All that awaits you is death!"
Fermi shouted: "We don't mean to offend, we are just here to resolve the crisis for the residents of nearby towns."
The impatient banshee suddenly glowed with fluorescence and screamed: "Then die!!!"
The cavalry behind Femi drew their magic muskets in unison.
Are magic guns useful against ghosts?
No.
After the magic gun was developed, it was tested with three-color ghosts.
But just as changing bullets to silver slugs and soaking them in holy water can effectively kill vampires, engraving exorcism runes on bullets or blessing them can also harm ghosts.
So unlike Let the Magic Fly, they don't need to rely on the power of the people. And the people are different from "Let the Magic Fly"... they are willing to take the initiative to stand up and break the old shackles that restrain their bodies.
Femi showed a rare smile, turned around, and said to the banshee who was controlling ghosts and skeletons to attack:
"Times have changed."
He picked up the magic gun and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
The sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky.
The ghost made a sound like broken silk, the skeletons were beaten to pieces, and the banshee's screams and curses were dispersed by the accompanying mage before they even got close to them.
Femi put away the magic musket that was rising into smoke, and looked at the lonely banshee: "I said, we have no intention of offending."
"You broke into my territory, killed my slaves, and you said you meant no offense!?" The banshee's cold sneer was like rubbing ice.
Femi was not here to make friends. He said coldly: "You attacked us. According to the laws of Liberty City, you need to go to Liberty City to face trial."
The mage who accompanied the team walked out and easily caught the banshee, who had no subordinates and was not even considered an elite.
"Keep an eye on it, it will be handed over to Lord Annan."
There is no Banshee in Free City...bringing it back should please Lord Annan.
"As you command!"
The two guards looked at the banshee. Its skin was translucent and pale, its slender figure looked thin and twisted, its curly hair was flying behind its head, and it was wearing a tattered long skirt that was like a shadow weaving, exuding a coldness that was different from the cold. .
Because her pale cheeks, which were so pale that they looked bluish, without the whites of her eyes, did not make people feel beautiful.
"Does Lord Annan also like being so ugly?"
"The less human you are, the more interested your majesty is..."
Femi glared at the two muttering guards: "Don't make rash comments about Lord Annan."
Before they and the mage had gone far after suppressing the witch, the residents standing not far away made some new noises - a figure wearing ill-fitting armor, with fat squeezed out of the gap, making a sound like the collision of cans. Come.
"I...I'm late?"
He had already hurriedly put on the armor and rushed over, but he forgot that he was not the handsome young man he was more than ten years ago, and he also forgot that his body had gained weight and he could no longer fit into the old man's armor.
"Are you the mayor of this place?" Femi asked.
"Yes, I, I am willing to join you!"
Unexpectedly, he came to seek refuge.
Femi scanned the crowd: "We are the Hellfire Legion and we are not accepting newcomers yet."
When they showed their disappointment, he said again: "But the Free Blade will take over here, and you can join them."
"Can I go to the battlefield?" The mayor of Gutou Town only cares about one thing. "I...I can still fight!"
"If the Kingdom of Ruikaner can't think of it."
…
The large white mist he exhaled curled up like smoke and stuck to his eyebrows, turning into a layer of frost.
The mage's robes stabilize the body temperature, but not the head. When Annan appeared outside the new royal capital, the tip of his nose quickly turned red and his ears gradually tingled.
He continued to look into the distance as if he was unconscious: the size of the new royal capital looked similar to that of Breeze City, but everything was new... after all, the kingdom had only escaped for a year.
The construction of the new royal capital was already the result of the unimaginable efficiency of the bureaucrats.
It’s been a long time since I experienced the severe cold in the north, and I still miss it a bit...
The city gate in front of you is quite prosperous, with a long queue of several hundred meters. Annan and Maria, who had dyed blond hair, walked into the team and inquired about the merchants who were transporting supplies from the north and the west coast.
They complained about the blockade in Free City, unaware that the culprits were right in front of them.
Annan thought they were farting. These businessmen were either gray gloves or seeking huge profits. It was as if Liberty City had not launched a blockade and civilians could buy food at low prices.
The team moved very slowly. After standing in the cold wind for more than ten minutes, the team only moved halfway forward.
Looking forward, Annan understood the reason for the crowd: they were paying the city entrance fee.
The city entrance fee was 3 copper coins per person, and there was an additional fee for carrying goods. According to this estimate, if 100,000 people entered the city every day, it would be 30 gold nars, which would be 1,000 gold coins a year, and there was no cost.
Free City would never charge this kind of money because Annan did not value efficiency.
He summoned the ladies to hold a banquet casually, and the magic stones sold were enough for the new capital to collect city entrance fees for several years.
Finally, it was Annan and Maria's turn. The city guards did not even look at them and entered the city smoothly.
Annan finally arrived at his loyal new capital.
He and Maria came to an inn owned by the Free Blade. The innkeeper... or rather, the tavern owner who joined the Free Blade was shocked when he learned of Annan's identity and almost closed the door and went out of business.
It was Maria who reminded him not to do unnecessary things.
Apart from the military minister, not many people knew about Annan's trip. In order to avoid being discovered, even Elimoyas was temporarily sent back to the Free City by Annan.
Asking the tavern owner to find a messenger, and then asking the messenger to contact the military minister, Annan sat on the second floor of the hotel, quietly waiting to meet.
About two hours later, a sound of footsteps different from other guests appeared outside the door.
Knock knock knock——
The door was knocked, and Maria got up and opened it.
The military minister in a cloak stood outside the door and saluted respectfully: "Hello, Lord Annan."
