Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1447: Invitation

War, regardless of which planet or country it was on, was the only way to rapidly increase one's strength. After growing stronger, they needed to consolidate, digest the results of the battle, and convert them into tangible benefits. Allen's long-term and short-term vision was essentially a simplified version of Dawn Academy's strategy for invading low-level planets.

There are no major strategic mistakes. If there are any shortcomings, it is that time is needed. Alan began to feel uneasy when he noticed that the man was using Lucy as a medium to connect with his will. This would allow Hubble to explore the grey areas ahead of time when he needed to find an opponent.

As he told Laura, he was really anxious.

However, since it had begun, he would not hesitate. Right now, Hubble was just starting the battle. After the negotiations with the empire were completed and he won a period of peace, he would increase his investment in the grey areas. Using the fastest speed and the most efficient way to strengthen his own power as soon as possible.

Whether it was to control his own destiny or anything else, he needed strength. Allen knew better than anyone else that there was enough strength.

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he had already returned to normal. In his eyes, Laura seemed to see that this man was more determined. But at the same time, his heart was also wrapped in iron stones, forming a strong levee.

If she hadn't known that Alan would open a back door to the steel heart for someone she loved, Laura would have been sad. But as Alan's enemy, he would definitely have a lot of headaches.

Thinking of this, Laura smiled.

When they entered the mansion, the butler greeted them and told Luche to visit. Besides her, Luche also brought an unfamiliar man. Judging from Luche's attitude towards him, he seemed to be an important visitor. The butler didn't dare to neglect them and arranged for them to wait in the study room.

Alan nodded and told Laura to rest while he went to the study. When the door opened, a man was sitting on a chair, and Luche was standing behind him. Hearing the door open, the man stood up and smiled and bowed to Alan, "Nice to meet you, Lord Alan, although this is the first time we've met."

"Who is this?" Alan nodded and looked at Luche.

Luche stepped forward and said to Alan, "Sir, this is Mr. Short. Mr. Short is the patron of our pitch-black ball and the messenger of Dobia."

"Duobia?" Alan thought to himself. He had long thought that such a big thing had happened to Mo Kedan, and that he had killed two Demonic Shadow Empire generals in a row. As an enemy of Demonic Shadow Empire, there was no reason for Dobia not to ask. Sure enough, the messenger from Dobia came to visit today, and judging from Luche's attitude, this Short was probably the real boss of the pitch-black ball.

In other words, he was always in Dobia's sight.

'"Lord Alan came out of the Lost Realm, established his might in the Wilderness, broke through Mokedan, and killed two generals of the empire, Bali and Mirion. Lord Alan's strength and limelight are too strong to be ignored," Huth said gracefully.

Alan took a deep look at Luche and smiled as he asked Short to sit down. "Mr. Short is flattering me. I have to thank you for all the help and information you've given me. Without that, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do all of this in a short time."

Huth laughed and said, "Our country and Demonic Shadow Empire are incompatible. No matter who it is, we are willing to help Demonic Shadow Empire if he is at a disadvantage."

His words undoubtedly confirmed Alan's guess.

Alan sat in his seat and spread out his hands. "You helped me first. Now, if there is anything I need in return, Mr. Short might as well ask directly."

Huth shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Lord Alan has misunderstood. I'm not here today to ask for a reward from you. On the contrary, if you accept an invitation, Dobia will provide you with more help than just intelligence."

"Is that really support?"

"That's right." Xiu Te smiled and said, "The army, airships, equipment, grain, mineral resources, and even experts can all be provided to you, Your Excellency."

"Such a big piece of cake smashed down. It looks like I can't even accept it. I wonder what kind of invitation it is and who sent it." Alan said half-jokingly, "It can't be your Majesty, right?"

Shut smiled and remained silent.

Alan was stunned. "Frius wants to see me?"

"Your Excellency, it would be unwise to address His Majesty directly by his name." '"As you expected, His Majesty appreciates Lord Alan's ability. He specifically told me that he wants to meet you. If your Majesty agrees, I will immediately offer you the time and place." Short reminded. He added, "As you expected, His Majesty appreciates Lord Alan's ability very much. He specifically told me that he wants to meet with you. If your Majesty agrees, I will give you the time and place."

Alan tapped on the table with his fingers, and Short was not in a hurry. When he knocked on the tenth time, Alan exhaled and said, "I can't find a reason to refuse."

'"You will never regret this decision," Huth smiled.

After leaving the meeting time and place, Short left first, and Luche stayed on the grounds of providing information. Xiu Te was in a good mood, so he left without hesitation. After he left, Luche provided Iron Tree City with the latest news. As Alan had guessed, the destruction of Mirion and his army on the Starfall Plains caused a huge shock to the Imperial Army. Right now, the troops gathered in Iron Tree City remained motionless. It seemed like they were waiting for Demoic Ring City's latest decision.

After listening to Luche's report, Alan looked at her unhappily until Luche knelt down on his own and said, "My lord, I want to ask you a favor."

Alan smiled. "Am I finally going to return the favor? Tell me, although you did everything out of Dobia's will, you did a good job. As long as it wasn't too much of a request, I can agree to it."

"I would like to ask your Excellency to bring the pitch-black ball under his command. I guarantee that I will create a perfect intelligence network for everyone." Luche gritted his teeth.

Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "What, do you want to leave Dobia?"

Luche took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"

Alan thought for a moment and said, "I know. I'll tell Short about this. But you have to promise me that you'll work for me."

"Definitely, my lord!" Luche laughed.

This matter was settled just like that. In the evening, Allen announced his acceptance of the Black Emperor's invitation while they were having dinner. Frius invited him to meet him in three days in the Plains of Star Death, and neither side was allowed to bring any followers. This was a private meeting.

When she heard the news, Laura immediately said, "You're going alone? It's too dangerous. The other party is Frius, a Paragon who can challenge Demonic Shadow Empire. If he wants to do something, you might not even have a chance to escape."

This is also a concern for others.
