Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 315: Disperse In Displeasure

"Nice to see you again, friend of the Baimeng people!"

In the stronghold, when Allen and the others were brought to the square by the Baymond warriors, the leader, Caesar, welcomed them with open arms. After a warm hug from Alan, he patted his shoulder and said, "You came at the right time. In order to discuss how to deal with the people of Sur City, the leaders of the other strongholds will come tonight."

"Then what a coincidence. Caesar, I'm here to remind you that the Alliance Army of Sur City is coming." "We have some business dealings with the merchants of Sur City," said Allen bluntly. "My men came back tonight and told me that the army of Sur City had begun to mobilize."

Caesar's expression darkened as he said, "The Baymonds will not leave the Ash Mountains. This is our home, so we are ready to fight!"

Alan patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have a temporary stronghold on the hill where our important goods are parked. In order to avoid being taken advantage of by the troops of Sur City, please allow us to join the war."

Caesar's face lit up when he heard this. Alan and the others were rare experts. With their help, the war would be easier. Just as Caesar was about to nod, Baku suddenly jumped out and said, "The Baymonds don't need outsiders' help!"

"Baku!" Caesar's Crystal Spear stopped and shouted.

Baku looked at Allen and the others and turned to leave.

Caesar shook his head. "Please forgive him."

Then he said, "I'll let someone take you down to rest first. We'll talk about it tonight."

After arranging for Alan and the others, Caesar returned to his wooden house. When he pushed the door open and entered, he saw Baku standing by the window. He looked down in the direction of the room where Alan and the others were resting. Hearing Caesar come in, Baku said, "They may be spies of the people of Sul. Caesar, I have seen with my own eyes that they have dealings with the people of those cities. We cannot trust them."

"Baku, this matter is not up to you, nor will it be mine. Tonight, I will bring this matter up. If the other leaders feel that there is no problem, then let them participate." Caesar said.

Baku paused and said, "Caesar, we can't be passive like this. Even if we repel them this time, those fellows won't let it go. We should go to our ancestors' graveyard and release the Abyss Devils. Only by completely destroying Sur City will we be able to avoid future trouble forever!"

Caesar was shocked. "Are you crazy? Baku, anger has made you lose your mind. Could it be that you forgot your ancestors' graveyard so that the Abyss Devils would never have a chance to come out? Besides, can you control the Abyss Devils?" He cried out.

"How do I know if I don't try? I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of the Baimeng people!" Baku stepped forward and said.

"Enough!" Caesar shouted, "I would never agree, and you're not doing this for the Baymonds. Baku, you're just trying to get revenge. I'm warning you, whatever you do, I can forgive you, but that won't do. If you dare to release the demons, I'll definitely kill you, Baku."

"I mean it!"

Baku angrily left.

That night, the plaza of the stronghold lit up with a vigorous campfire, and the men and women of the Bymonds danced about the fire, chanting ancient war songs. In the desolate and distant singing, the leaders of the other strongholds of the Baimonds entered the plaza one by one. They wore cloaks woven from animal hides and feathers, and their heads and chests were painted with ancient and mysterious patterns.

Alan looked at them from afar. Under the light of the fire, he could clearly see that there was a strong Origin Energy radiance on the heads.

Caesar raised his crystal spear.

War songs and dances stopped at the same time. The square became extremely quiet like a ruckus. The switch between the two was as fast as a miracle.

'"Welcome, my brothers and sisters. Right now, the Baymonds living in the Ash Mountains are facing the last crisis before, so I have to invite you over. Not far from us, in Sur City, they are gathering an army. As far as I know, there are at least five hundred people in this army, and they will soon attack!" Caesar shouted, "So I beg you, brothers and sisters, it is time for the Baymonds to stand up together. The Ash Mountains are our home, would you like to leave?"

Leaders, look at me, look at you, one of the exceptionally strong and formidable natives stepped forward and said, "Caesar, is your information accurate?"

"Speaking of which, let me introduce you to someone." Caesar pointed his spear at Alan. "This is Alan, a merchant, adventurer, and outstanding warrior. He was the one who brought this news to me, and my clan's Baku is also a witness."

Baku walked out and nodded, "Yes, the people of Sul are ready to fight. Great leaders, they don't just attack us, they even want to destroy us. So I suggest that we go to the ancestral tomb and release the demons to destroy them!"

Caesar's expression changed. He didn't expect Baku to make such a request in front of the various clan leaders. He said angrily, "Baku, what are you talking about?"

"I made it very clear!" Baku pointed at Alan and said, "You'd rather trust an outsider who has dealings with Sur than listen to my advice. Caesar, who is my best brother and friend now?"

Baku shouted, "Before the leaders arrived, I had been to Sur City." That's right, I was reckless and underestimated my enemies. I was taken down and thrown into prison by the people of Sur, where they did not treat me like a human being. They only treat me as a slave, yes. And so is this so-called friend of Caesar's. I heard softly that he rescued me from prison by trading in slaves! "

The Baimeng people immediately erupted into an uproar, and even the faces of the leaders were filled with anger.

Alan secretly shook his head.

Caesar jumped down and pointed his spear at Baku, "Shut up, what are you doing?"

"I'm talking about the right thing." Baku replied.

"You go down, leave immediately! I'm so stupid, why would I let you be here!" Caesar said angrily.

"No, Caesar. I think Baku should stay. I trust my Baymond brothers more than outsiders."

"Brave Vajra, you have no idea why." Caesar said.

"Then let's listen to Baku. I think we'll figure it out!" Said the leader named Vajra.

Caesar looked helplessly and apologetically at Alan, who shook his head to indicate that he did not mind. Things had progressed to such an extent that it was beyond Alan's expectations. Judging from this situation, there was no longer any cooperation between them and the Baymonds. He made a gesture to Wilick and the other two, and the three of them quietly left the arena.

After leaving the stronghold, Wilick said, "If I had known we wouldn't have saved Baku, I would have killed him with a single punch."

"Unless you want to be enemies with all of Baimeng, don't do that." Ellen shook his head and smiled, "Originally, I wanted to borrow the power of their native race, but it doesn't seem to work. Let's go back and make other arrangements."

After returning to the camp, even though it was already late at night, Alan still called a few more important people over and told them about the situation in the Baimon race. "Cooperation with the Baymonds is no longer possible," he said. "We can only do it ourselves. If you have any suggestions, just give them."

Edward hesitated.

Alan looked at it and said, "Say what you want to say."

"Forget it, I suppose," said Edward with a smile. "You shouldn't agree."

Welik frowned and said, "Don't play tricks, so I hate smart guys the most."

"This is my best compliment," Edward said. Alright, the simplest way is to provide Caesar's stronghold to the Alliance Army in Sur City. That's not hard. I think Jim can easily get the news out, and I can do it through Ethan. If Sur City attacked Caesar's stronghold, both of them would have to fight. At that time, we can fish in troubled waters. "

As he spoke, he looked at Alan.

Alan smiled and said, "Don't think of me as so pedantic. In fact, I can't think of a better way." After all, to this planet, we are invaders. All life on this planet is our enemy. There is no psychological obstacle for me to use the enemy to achieve my goal. "But now we are in a special situation. Life on this planet is human just like us, and they don't realize that we are invaders."

"Also, the leader of the stronghold is Caesar, not Baku. If it was Baku, I could make a decision now. But Caesar, he does treat us as friends." Alan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't betray a man who treats me as a friend."

Among them, Lucy and Alan had been together for the longest time and knew his personality very well. It is his principle that as long as he thinks he is a friend, he will not give up or betray him. As for the others who had just joined, Belmond had a smile on his face, making it hard to understand what he was thinking. Roy's expression changed, as if he was touched. Tang Ji and Tang Mo had solemn expressions on their faces, not expressing their stance. Edward nodded, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have only given you a few suggestions. As for how to choose, it is up to you to decide. I have another suggestion besides this one."

"Let me guess." Allen said, "Since we can't play Caesar, let's go scout and tell Caesar the location of the Sur City army and let them take the initiative to attack."

'"Who told me what the difference is?" Welik said with a confused expression.

Edward smiled faintly and said, "There is still a difference between taking the initiative and being attacked passively. Since you have already thought of it, there is no need for me to say anything else. I only hope that your friend will believe our information."

Although today is April Fool's Day, I still keep my promise
