Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1494: Evil Guest 1

[I'm just kidding you, butler Sario.] Ellen did not plan to make things difficult for the butler and smiled.

The butler's expression softened and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Your Highness is really funny."

"Show us the house." Alan walked towards the gate first, followed by Laura and the others. Sario hurriedly followed along with a few stewards, leading the crowd and introducing the house from time to time.

It turned out that this building had a great history. It was the mansion of an imperial general a hundred years ago. That general had the title of "Blood Wings". The mansion he lived in was once called "Blood Nest". During that period of time, the Blood Nest Mansion was known as the most terrifying place in Shadow Castle, second only to Demoic Ring City. When the general was alive, he built a pool of blood in the basement. It was a real pool of blood. Every day, thirteen to fourteen-year-old girls would be thrown into the pool of blood for the general to torture and kill. The pool of blood was filled with the blood of these girls.

Later, during the Eastern Front War, the Blood Wings were killed by Dobia's experts, leaving the Blood Nest empty. Later on, after several changes of hands, several masters were unable to endure the bloody smell of the blood pool, and the last master sold it to the empire because of debt problems. The empire paid for the renovation of the Blood Nest. Not only did it fill in the blood pool, it also modified the original structure of the building. Now, it was Lamo's own residence.

"So Lord Ramo has vacated the house for us?"

Alan was surprised.

Sario nodded and said, "Lord Ramo was afraid that His Highness would not be used to living in Shadow Castle, so he vacated his residence. Moreover, this place is close to the center of the city, so it would be more convenient for His Highness to visit Demoic Ring City."

"Lord Lamo is considerate."

After a brief tour, Sario led Allen and the others to the dining hall. "Your Highness and the other lords have come all the way here. They must be hungry. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare food, so I will bring it over."

"Thank you, Mr. Sario." "We have something to say before dinner," Allen said.

"Then I won't disturb everyone." Sario bowed and left the restaurant.

After Sario left, Alan pulled a chair and sat down, repeating Ramo's little "reminder" along the way. Hubble sat directly on the ground. With the weight of his equipment, he was afraid that the exquisite row of chairs at the dining table would not be able to bear it. The Gatu put Warhammer's Dark Star aside and said, "Since His Majesty the Shadow Castle wants us to use this as our own backyard, it's simple. Whoever wants to deal with us, we'll be done for."

"

Tracy rolled her eyes. "One muscle."

"What did you say, woman!" Said Hubble loudly.

'"Do you know who's going to hurt us? The emperor told us to treat this place like a backyard, but he didn't tell us to do anything. If we get the wrong person, have you ever thought about how Master would explain it to Shadow Castle?" Said Trisley.

Hubble smacked his lips and could not refute. He could only hug his chest and snort, "Anyway, I don't understand these complicated things. On our Barbarian Stone Star, just watch who doesn't like to hit us. You guys are really troublesome."

Alan smiled and said to the beautiful secretary beside him, "Miss Margo, tell me about the current situation of the two empires first."

Margo cleared his throat and said, "Demonic Shadow Empire and Dobia are still at war. The war on the eastern battlefield, centered on Smelt City, came to a halt at the end of the moment." Although there is no sign of a truce on either side, both Demonic Shadow Empire and Tobia have withdrawn their troops in succession this month, presumably in preparation for the war in Adahua Planet.

"Didn't Spenak and Frius reach an agreement? Why is the east still fighting?" Laura was a little puzzled. If it was explained as the Barbarians being bellicose, then this kind of bellicosity would be too big.

Margo whispered, "There is no inevitable connection between the alliance and the war. In fact, the war in Agares has never stopped. I have studied the history of the war in Agares. There have been many battles in history that are completely meaningless. If you have to give it a meaning, then their only meaning is consumption."

"Consumption?" "Miss Margo means that behind this war of attrition are the two Autarchs silently pushing for it?" Said Alan Chen Xu.

"I'm not sure about the Black Emperor, Frius, but I'm sure that His Majesty Shadow Castle has such thoughts and will. Because Demonic Shadow Empire took the initiative to initiate at least eight of the ten wars that have no strategic significance." "It's not surprising that His Majesty would do this given Agares's low resources and the exceptionally high fertility rate of our race," Margo said calmly. "If it wasn't for the war consuming some people, Agares wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Alan nodded and said, "So the Eastern Front Battlefield is a meat grinder. The army, the experts, and even the consumables are thrown into the furnace. But this makes the Baals more belligerent."

He shook his head. "Forget it, we're not scholars. We don't need to study the history of Agares. It's fine as long as we know the attitudes of the two empires. I wish I had more territory and more people. There's nothing we can do about it. Our size isn't on the table yet."

"Miss Margo, based on your understanding of Demoic Ring City, give me an analysis of what potential enemies we have in this city."

Margo nodded and said, "Those who regard His Highness as an enemy and want to take His Highness' life are definitely those who hate His Highness to the bone." Normally, such a person would die at the hands of His Highness or even form a blood feud. Even if the foundation of interest was damaged, it would also be damaged by His Highness. Therefore, to determine which of His Highness's potential enemies will be, we naturally have to start from these two aspects. "

Margo's analysis was reasonable. Alan couldn't find anything to be picky about, so he gestured for her to continue.

"I have gathered detailed information about His Highness since he left the Forgotten Realm, including which famous expert His Highness killed and so on. Up to now, there are only two opponents His Highness has killed that are qualified to influence Demoic Ring City. I believe His Highness already knows this point."

Allen nodded. "One is Bali, the other is Mirion. These two are imperial generals. If anyone can influence Demoic Ring City, it's them."

Margo did not answer immediately, but went on to say something else: "After His Highness reached an agreement with Demonic Shadow Empire and Dobia on the triangular alliance." His Majesty Sbernak placed Reese and Petty provinces in His Highness' territory. In the shadows, it harmed the interests of certain people. According to my investigation, these two provinces have always generated considerable profits for the Thunderwolf Clan. "Now that we have lost two provinces, I believe that out of the four oldest clans in Demoic Ring City, only the Thunderwolf Clan hates His Highness to the bone."

"Most importantly, Mirion, who died at His Highness' hands, and Rupert were the pillars of the clan. Especially Mirion. Whether it was his battle prowess or reputation, he was an important factor in maintaining the prestige of this ancient clan. Although Rupert couldn't compare to his big brother, he had already come into contact with the Void Origin Energy, and his potential wasn't small either. "It's similar. When Rupert also controls the Void Origin Energy, then this family will have two Great Generals of the Empire. What a huge fortune."

"In other words, not only did I wipe out two of the Thunderwolf Clan's most promising talents, I also took over two of their lucrative provinces. So if anyone in Demoic Ring City wants to kill me, then the Thunderwolf Clan will definitely be number one."

Margo nodded and said, "Yes, but I must remind you, Your Highness, these are just my analyses. In fact, we do not have any substantial evidence."

"By the time there is substantial evidence, the Thunder Wolf Clan's people have already appeared in front of me." "But I'm curious," Allen said. "Even Mirion died at my hands. What other experts can they take action against?"

Margo said: "Looking at Agares, there are countless experts. Even though the Void Origin Energy grasping Great General level combat power was rare, the Empire was willing to sacrifice a large amount of resources in exchange for the effectiveness of such an expert. However, not everyone was willing to obey the orders of the empire, so besides the ten Great Generals, there were other super experts that were strong enough to compete with Great Generals that were active in other places. Perhaps they were members of an ancient clan, or perhaps they had temporarily sold out their combat strength for some reason. Perhaps the Thunder Wolf Clan could find such a super mercenary. "

"That would be interesting." '"Since the Thunderwolf Clan is at the top of the list, it seems that we can only be evil guests visiting once. We should give some advice to the others so that we don't have to deal with some disgusting tricks while we're still in Demoic Ring City. Besides, His Majesty Shadow Castle probably wants to see how we deal with them. We can't underestimate him, can we?" Alan said.

Alan's meaning was obvious.

If Spenak had the intention to interfere, as long as he brought a message to the Thunderwolf Clan, then no matter how much the Clan hated Alan, they would not dare to act rashly. However, Spenak did not do so. He only asked Ramo to hint that he could display his fist and feet. Then, the Emperor's intentions were obvious.

To put it more plainly, it depended on how Alan reacted. Allen's reaction might have something to do with his status in the alliance. If he thought deeper, God knew if Spenak had any thoughts of using Alan to suppress the Thunderwolf Clan.

Only Sbernak knew about this.

There were four ancient clans in Demoic Ring City. These clans could be traced back to a thousand years ago, and their bloodline origins were more or less related to Spenak. Therefore, these clans had never lacked geniuses, nor had they lacked experts from the Zhen Clan. Take the Thunderwolf Clan for example. First, there was an Empire Great General, Mirion. Afterwards, his brother, Rupert, also came into contact with the Void Origin Energy. It could be said that his future was bright.

Some predicted that the Thunderwolf Clan would become the number one aristocrat in Demoic Ring City in ten years. But at the height of the family's glory, Rupert and Mirion's successive deaths had dimmed their prospects. Losing Reese and Petty immediately shook the foundations of their clans, causing them to fall to the ground and become Demoic Ring City's jokes.
