Chapter 1418: Favorable Conditions

Lamer was still the same. When Allen saw him, he thought of words like dark, damp, and decay. This general of the empire smelled of death everywhere, like a demon crawling out of the grave. He was smiling, but there was absolutely no smile in his eyes. Allen suppressed the urge to take out the Anthem of Destruction and kill him, smiled slightly, and walked up with Belmode and Trisley.

Walking down the lift deck of the spaceship, Lamer stretched out his hands enthusiastically, and Allen frowned slightly at an imperceptible angle before hugging him. At the moment of contact, Allen found that Lamer could barely feel his body temperature, like a cold-blooded animal. If such signs were restrained, Lamer might be missed if his perception was as keen as his. I don't know if this is Lamer's natural sign, or because of some kind of ability.

But Allen hadn't seen any kind of ability that could turn hot blood cold.

Letting Alan go, Lamer smiled half-truthfully and said, "The Lord Dark King killed Baal, and he is so young, his future must be limitless."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lamer, it's just good luck." Allen replied nonchalantly.

"Luck is also a kind of strength, but it's really sad to think that Baal, an old friend, was lost in such a place." Lamer said with a sad expression.

Allen sneered in his heart, and simply probed: "Then Lord Lamer is planning to avenge this old friend?"

Lamer hissed like a lizard, and then laughed and said, "Why, let's not say that Baal and I have known each other for a long time, but our friendship is so-so, not to the point where I give him my life. Besides, my main task this time is to send a ransom to Lord Darkness in exchange for the 100,000 officers and soldiers of my Shadow Empire. No matter what, I will never use force in Mokdan. Please rest assured on this point, my lord. Of course, after leaving Mokdan, I can't promise to see you next time."

Allen had a haha ​​with him, and said, "I'm relieved to have Lord Lamer's words, at least I don't have to sleep and take them with me."

Lamer looked at Belmode and Trisley.

The moment he met his gaze, Belmod's face paled a little, and Trisili immediately lowered her center of gravity, like a cat about to pounce on someone. Allen patted Lamer calmly and said, "We have already held a banquet at the Santo's Mansion, how about please move?"

Lamer's face was unnatural for a moment, and the two eyeballs narrowed into a line. Returning to normal in an instant, he laughed and said, "I am happy."

Allen led the way.

Lamer was half a body behind, and looked at Allen from the corner of his eyes from time to time. When he stepped off the deck, he had already noticed the two of Belmode, and he could guess from the vague and erratic aura of the two that they were all colleagues beside Allen. The glance just now was quite meaningful. Lamer wanted to give the two people around Alan a blow by purely relying on a ray of pure and sharp source power wrapped in his sight, so as to tell Alan that even he has a master who is good at assassination , but if he wants to do it, these two people alone are not enough to see.

Unexpectedly, he glared at the two of them separately, and Alan slapped his palm, but he slapped his source power away. The source power carried in Allen's palm did not have the meaning of grandeur, without any distinctive features, but his pure source power was annihilated without a trace, and even Lamer didn't know what happened in the middle . This move is more domineering than Lamer's. It is undoubtedly telling Lamer that even if you do it yourself, as long as you catch the opportunity, I can slap you like a mosquito.

Even better, the fact that Allen killed Baal was Tie Zhengzheng, as evidenced by the space equipment on his wrist. Whether Lamer is willing or not, Alan's simple action has already planted a very bad feeling in his consciousness. Before completely getting rid of this feeling, if Lamer makes a shot reluctantly, he is afraid that there will be a flaw in his flawless skills. He is an expert, and he understands this truth even more deeply.

Now he is a little suspicious. What Allen said just now was actually digging a hole for him to jump, so looking at Allen's figure, Lamer felt that this young man was a little unpredictable.

For some reason, he thought of the eternal shadow in the Shadow Castle. This scene scared Lamer into a cold sweat. He even compared Alan with the Demon King. Doesn't that mean that Alan has the potential to become the Supreme?

Lamer was originally the most brilliant killer, and every killer has a cold and ruthless heart. He took a deep breath, completely suppressed these thoughts, and his mood returned to ice-cold, followed Allen into the car and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

After a dinner that talked about the big and the small, Allen went straight to the topic. Lamer was invited to the chamber, accompanied by Melanie, Grace, the treasurer and several other officials. When he arrived at the chamber, Lamer took a tablet from his assistant and handed it to Allen, "Please look over it, my lord. This is the ransom you asked for. Except for part of the cash, the rest has been exchanged for equivalent value according to your request." supplies."

Allen glanced at it casually, and there were 30 combat airships and related supporting facilities listed at the front, and tanks, machine guns, high-energy turrets, and military rations were listed below. The list was dense, and Allen handed the tablet brain to the chief financial officer, and he and several other officials checked the list. Seeing the small group of officials start to check the list, Lamer smiled slightly and said, "My lord, besides paying the ransom this time, there is actually another suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"

"Let's just say it's okay."

Lamer said happily: "In the battle of Mokdan, my lord has already demonstrated the outstanding combat power of the generals of the empire, as well as unparalleled military talents. For a character like you, my phantom empire is very thirsty for talents. My lord unifies the big The wasteland, attacking Mokdan is nothing more than territorial wealth. I, the Shadow Empire, can still give it to you. If your lord agrees, you will be the general of the empire, the great warlord of Baal and the commander of the Mad Shadow Army. The vacancy will naturally be replaced by you. In addition, you can retain everything that exists, including the ownership of the Great Wasteland and Mokdan. On top of this, you can choose one of the important cities on the southern line of the empire as your own. The territory of the territory, all the benefits of the territory are yours to monopolize, and the empire will not take any of you."

The entire conference hall was as quiet as a ghost town.

Not to mention that Melanie was stunned, even the officials who were calculating the list forgot what they were doing and stopped. Only Gris remained calm, sitting quietly with his eyes closed. It's no wonder that Melanie and others were surprised. They were originally from the Shadow Empire. They knew very well what kind of means the empire would use to deal with people like Allen. In short, those means definitely did not include what Lamer said now. These.

Lamer's remarks are tantamount to the fact that the empire not only did not pursue Allen's actions, but even gave Allen a large territory. This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the empire. Even if it is a general of the empire, the one with the most power has never said anything about the territory. Allen smiled and said, "The conditions are very favorable."

"It's already quite generous. When I heard this from His Majesty, I doubted my ears. It can be seen that His Majesty thinks highly of you, my lord."

"Oh, it's rare for me, a small person, to be able to get into the eyes of that person from Shadow Castle. Look, I can't find a reason to refuse such a generous offer."

Lamer hissed again and said, "So, Lord Allen agrees?"

"I didn't say that. Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Lamer." Allen said indifferently: "When the man proposed such a generous condition, did he mention that if I refuse, what should I do?"

The atmosphere in the conference hall turned cold.

Lamer hissed, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter: "If your lord refuses, then I will leave after paying the ransom. But soon, two imperial generals will come hand in hand. With them Together, there are 500,000 shadow troops, 20 imperial generals, and countless senior and high-ranking officers. Are you satisfied with this news, Mr. Allen?"

Allen squinted his eyes and asked: "The one hundred thousand shadow army made the empire come up with so many things. Now I am a little curious. One or two empire generals, several generals plus more than one hundred thousand shadow army, what will the empire do?" What to redeem. How about a province, what does Lord Lamer think?"

"My lord, this joke is a bit big."

Allen laughed and said, "It's a bit older, I hope I didn't scare you."

Lamer laughed: "It's frightening, but it's not enough to be scared to death. It seems that Lord Alan's answer is already obvious, and now even I want to applaud his courage. It's just that I want to Remind my lord, sometimes courage is not worth a lot of money. Well, my proposal is still valid until the arrival of those two generals. Whenever your lord is willing to join the empire, I think His Majesty will welcome you without any hesitation. Here There is a contact method, and I hope to hear the good news from my lord as soon as possible."

Lamer left the next day. As he said, this time he came only as an imperial envoy and did not take any drastic actions against Allen. It can also be said that he didn't want to, but that Allen's slap made him a little more worried, so he became a serious messenger. As for the "ransom" sent by the empire, it has been put into the treasury after being verified by the Chief Financial Officer, and the 100,000 Shadow Army loaded onto the transport ship brought by Lamer, and left Mokdan with the imperial general.

After sending Lamer away, Gris smiled lightly when there was no one around, "Even I was a little tempted to hear the conditions of the empire. I'm really surprised that your lord can refuse so simply."

Allen said with a smile: "Although I am not a businessman, I also know that there is no reason to go back on the deal. Since I made a deal with Alice before, I will do it to the end. There is no reason to give up halfway. Otherwise, , No one will dare to make a deal with me in the future, what do you think, Mr. Gris."

Gris smiled and said: "I don't understand these things, I just know that Lord Alice is right after all. But then the empire will send a large army, even two generals, how will Lord Allen plan to deal with it?"
