Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1478: Love Expert

After the communication ended, Cajasso was silent. The surrounding generals looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything wrong. "Your Majesty, I don't think you need to accept that invitation. We can invite the Emperor of the Kidds. Even the Emperor of Demonic Shadow Empire can't take over our planet so blatantly."

Cajasso shook his head and said, "Don't you know? This is no longer a question that I can't accept, but I can't refuse!"

"It must be Demonic Shadow Empire's request that the Kidds leave the battlefield early," he sneered. "At this time, the Kidds' emperor, Saffle, you don't have to expect him to do anything. Just look at his sister, Galaxy, being killed and Saffle not saying a word, and you'll know his attitude."

"Moreover, Ramo has already said that this matter has nothing to do with Demonic Shadow Empire. It was all Alan's decision. But Ramo also hinted that Demonic Shadow Empire supported his decision. In this way, I would have to accept his decision. Otherwise, if Demonic Shadow Empire were to interfere, things would only get more and more complicated."

What Cajasso did not say was that he had no right to refuse under the premise that Alan threatened civilians. Otherwise, his reputation would have plummeted to the bottom.

"Full speed ahead." '"If he wants a duel, I'll give it to him. I'll make him die a horrible death! If he sees me as a galactic opponent, he'll regret that decision!" Cajasso sneered.

Mo Suo's steel imperial city was situated on an ice field. On this vast ice field, the people of Nelm built a huge and magnificent city here. From buildings to highways, they were made entirely of steel. Magnetic tracks were everywhere for magnetic trains to pass through. Towering buildings that were as tall as mountains. A hundred-meter-tall steel city wall covered all kinds of weapons platforms. As for the multi-purpose turrets, they were even more numerous. Even if the people of Nelm were at a disadvantage, the Baltic fleet had to pay a high price to take down the city.

Of course, that was because Allen did not fight with all his might, otherwise the losses of the Barbarians would be reduced by at least half. After the war, Allen made a little effort to deal with the enemy general Brosh. The generals of the empire were furious at Allen's "slacking off" performance, much less his words. At this point, even Allen had to admit that these guys were efficient and pragmatic.

At this moment, in the Iron Blood Imperial Palace in the depths of the Imperial City of Steel, Alan sat on Cajasso's throne and watched as the laser beam that was used for projection disappeared. Lamar, who was standing beside him, coughed dryly and said, "Lord Alan, forgive me for talking too much." The best way to deal with it now is to make Agatho pay a sizeable ransom for the war. I can negotiate for you if you like. I guarantee that this ransom will not be less than the income of a province in the future for three years. If you want an army, I can ask Cajasso to grit his teeth and bring out a mixed elite army of 100,000 people. Whatever choice you make, my custody is far more advantageous than an invitation to a duel. "

"Thank you for your kindness and for rushing over from Agares, Lord Ramo." "But I didn't ask Cagasso for a duel on the spur of the moment. It was a thoughtful decision. Of course, it wasn't just for the sake of profit," Ellen said calmly.

Ramo knew that Alan wouldn't tell him what he was really thinking, and he could vaguely guess. "I'm only responsible for making suggestions. As for how to decide, it's up to you, Lord Alan, to decide," he shrugged.

"Thank you again for your kindness. Perhaps, Lord Ramo, you are already tired. I have already asked someone to arrange a place for you to rest."

After Ramo left, Belmord walked forward and whispered in Allen's ear, "Young Master, Brosch let go."

Ellen smiled and said, "It's not up to him not to let go. He was tough just to show off and raise his status. If he was really that tough, he wouldn't have chosen to surrender. Let's go and see this general."

Beneath the Iron Blood Palace, there was a prison for important prisoners. Science and technology for the people of Nelm played an extremely important role here, with the latest technology being used in each individual cell to ensure that prisoners could not escape. Even Level 30 Hegemons had to obediently submit once they were left here. After all, it was Cajasso himself who had personally designed this prison.

When Alan saw Bloch, the Nelm general was bound to a prison chair. The prison chair looked simple, but the materials and technology used inside were not simple. Bloch, who was tied up in his chair, was even more mentally exhausted than Alan, who had been locked up in the Iron Prison. Hearing Allen's deliberate footsteps, Bloch lifted his head weakly.

"I'm glad you're willing to meet me, General Brosch. I believe that after today, we will be important partners." Alan smiled.

"Don't be mistaken," Blosch said. "Our Nelm family values are very weak. The reason I agreed to your request is because you killed the Milky Way, so I think you have a good chance of defeating our emperor."

"Cajasso will soon not be your Majesty, General Brosch." 'It seems like you're more concerned with power and status than your family,' Mr. Allen said. 'I'd be happy to work with someone as pragmatic as you. You know, family people sometimes do things that are unpredictable. And those things are usually dangerous, both for yourself and for your opponent.'

"Just like you, Your Highness?" Bloch grinned.

Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let's confirm the general content of the cooperation. Your Majesty has accepted my terms. In three days, there will be a grand duel in Iron King City. I can tell you right now that Cajasso will definitely die."

"If you treat His Majesty like the Milky Way, then I have to remind you, Your Highness Allen, you will probably suffer."

Alan shook his head. "No, you misunderstood. I didn't underestimate my opponent. I just believed that he would definitely lose to me. You would want to ask where this confidence came from. Trust me, if you gave a Paragon a month to chase after him and you survived, then you would have the same confidence as me."

Bloch was speechless. Not to mention a month, he couldn't even see the slightest chance of surviving if he was targeted by any Paragon.

Alan continued, "I will support you when Cajasso dies." Of course, it's only a certain level of support. You need to know that my foundation is in Agares, not Mo Suo. My influence here is limited and short-lived. Once your emperor dies, other generals will definitely come out to fight for the throne. Then, how to use my short and limited influence to pave the way for your future power is a question that you should consider. And we have to think about it now, General Brosch. "

Brosch snorted, "Looks like Lord Alan's support is very limited. I really don't see any benefit in betraying His Majesty for an uncertain future."

"Of course." Alan smiled and tapped Bloch's chest with a finger. "The good thing is that you're still alive, not an ice-cold corpse. I don't think there's anything better than that, right?"

Bloch's jaws trembled and he lowered his head.

"Think about it here and think about what happened after Cagasso died," Allen said. "I'll let you out when the duel is over. It's not bad, it's quiet, isn't it? General."

He smiled and left.

After closing the door, Ellen said to Belmord, "Do you think I'm becoming more and more like a demon?"

Belmord smiled and said, "You are too benevolent compared to the real Abyss Devils, Young Master. However, I don't think a Bloch would be able to send Mo Suo into a long period of chaos as you planned, right?"

"Of course, so I still need to meet some people from Nelm next. We don't have to do much. As long as these competitors are evenly matched after Cajasso's death, Mo Suo will fall into civil strife in the short term. In this way, without decades, the people of Nelm probably won't have any plans for an expedition." Allen paused for a moment and said, "Dozens of years is enough time for the Earth to recover its vitality."

"Young Master."

Ellen waved his hand and smiled, "Don't say those nasty words. I'm doing this because there's my family on earth, Leon and the teachers. At the same time, I'm just doing what a human should do."

Belmord smiled and remained silent.

It was late into the night that Alan entered the bedroom. The bedroom was gently lit. Laura put down her sword and armor. The figure standing by the window was a little more gentle than usual. Hearing Alan's footsteps, she turned around. Alan hugged her and gave her a long kiss.

Ellen kissed Laura until she was out of breath before letting her go. Laura joked, "What, is this compensation for me?"

'"I owe you an apology. I should have asked for your advice before inviting Catherine to stay," Alan said, pulling up strands of hair from the side of her face.

Laura looked at him seriously. Under Alan's sincere gaze, she leaned herself against the man's chest and said, "You are enough."

Alan said this, showing his respect for her. Laura knew that she could not monopolize this man. Now that Alan respected her, it meant that she had already occupied an important position in his heart. This was enough for Laura.

"Looks like General Catherine didn't agree to it. Isn't that a bit disappointing?" Laura smiled.

Alan kissed her finger and said, "A little. But Catherine has her own considerations. I respect her choice."

Laura shook her head and said, "In your human language, you are a gentleman. But sometimes, you can't be such a gentleman. Women, sometimes they like men to be overbearing, not to respect their choices everywhere."

Alan scratched his head. "You mean I did something wrong?"

'"Of course not. Since General Catherine has her own considerations, you should let her do what you need to do. But remember, don't leave her alone for too long. Take her back after a while."

Ellen looked at Laura seriously and said, "I didn't expect you to be a love expert."
