Three Hundred and Nineteenth Chapters Foothold
In terms of real strength, even Baku can't keep up with Caesar. But Caesar never thought that the brother who would have given up his life to shield him from the sword two years ago would stab himself with the blade tonight. Baku drew out his long knife and held his hands behind his back, intending to stab him again. Caesar roared angrily, the source power surged, and the crystal lance in his hand shot out like lightning.
Baku could only swipe his long knife horizontally, chopping on the tip of the spear. The source forces of the two sides had a fierce collision on the tip of the blade and spear, and Baku was defeated, and the whole person was thrown backwards. Caesar also felt a sense of weakness, he couldn't hold the crystal spear steadily, and let it fly out. Baku spat out a mouthful of blood, and stood up again holding the knife. Caesar glanced at him, and left with injuries in the confusion.
Before dawn, the battle was over. The army of Storm City withdrew in an orderly manner under Reg's command. The troops they left behind were very brave and tried their best to hold back the Baimon soldiers from chasing the team. In the end, this army also died tragically. .
In this battle, Storm City left the corpses of two hundred soldiers, and the Baimeng people also paid the price of half of the soldiers. In contrast, the people on Allen's side were only injured but not killed. But firstly, they did not participate in the direct confrontation with Storm City, and secondly, the soldiers were well-equipped. This result was also expected by Allen.
The only thing that surprised him was Caesar's death. When Baku held up Caesar's crystal spear and announced that the headman had been killed by the Storm City army, Allen even doubted his ears a bit. Afterwards, the Baimons searched hard for Caesar's body but failed, which left Alan with more questions.
But for the hostile Baku, Allen didn't raise his own questions, he just left silently with his own people.
After returning to the stronghold in the Aspen Mountains, Edward and Belmode secretly came to the city of Sur. Because Baron York died in battle, Ethan, who was related to him by blood, officially inherited his title and power on the second day after the baron's body was buried with the support of the imperial constitution. But this is not enough for Ethan to secure his position as the city lord. He still needs to make more political achievements or military exploits to secure this position until he grows old.
Otherwise, the empire can appoint someone else to be the master of Sur City. Of course, the premise is that the eyes of the Balegon Empire will pay attention to this border land.
After Ethan became the new baron, Edward met him quietly, and then Baron Ethan had Belmode beside him. He will stay to protect Ethan through a tumultuous period of power transition from old to new. Sure enough, in the next few days, there were two attacks against Ethan in the City Lord's Mansion, both of which were successfully stopped by Belmode.
He was originally a master of assassination, but in the city of Suer, no one had higher assassination skills than Belmode. Naturally, those small tricks could not escape the eyes of this dark master. With his protection, Ethan was safe. At the same time, through Belmode, Ethan intuitively realized the strength of Edward and Master Allen behind him for the first time.
Ethan knew very well that since Belmode could protect him.
When necessary, he can also kill himself quietly. So soon, the identity documents about Alan and others were approved, and several people, including Alan, had legal identities in the city of Sur. The imperial seal on the identity certificate is enough to allow Allen and the others to pass through the territory of the Balegon Empire without hindrance.
After getting the news, Alan and others started to pack their things and prepare to officially enter the city of Sur. They camouflaged the starship and left two soldiers to guard it. As for the others, including the logistics team, they were all taken away by Allen, and they could play other roles in Sur City. In order to show his importance, Ethan also sent several carriages for Allen and the others to use. Allen was also willing to hide some things that were incompatible with this world, such as magic armor and fire rifles, in the carriage.
The soldiers took off the armor and related weapons of the flame warriors, put on the clothes and swords brought by Edward, and pretended to be the guards of the caravan. As the convoy set off, Allen glanced in the direction of the Aspen Mountains in the car, and he finally completed his first step in the new world.
Baku slid down from the canopy of an old tree and watched the convoy go. Under the tree, more than a dozen Baimeng warriors also witnessed what happened at the foot of the mountain, and Baku pointed at Caesar's crystal spear: "You see, I said earlier that these people colluded with the city of Suer. Look, they were riding in a carriage from the city of Suer. Caesar's death must have something to do with them!"
A Baimon warrior said in a deep voice: "Now that Caesar is dead in battle, please lead us, Baku. We want to avenge Caesar!"
"Yes, Caesar's hatred can't just be left alone. But my brother, we can't deal with those people alone. No, even if we gather the strength of other people, we can't do it. Unless..." Baku said in a deep voice : "Unless I enter the cemetery of my ancestors and release the demons!"
Soldiers, look at me and I look at you. The previous soldier gritted his teeth and said, "We support you, Baku. Let the devil destroy that city!"
Baku clenched the crystal spear tightly: "Go and gather everyone, we have to talk to King Kong."
The carriage was shaking, and it was really worrying whether it would fall apart in the next moment. Before there was such a means of transportation as automobiles, there was naturally no so-called anti-vibration system, so driving on a bumpy road was definitely not comfortable.
"Maybe we can build the world's first car." Allen said while holding the window frame of the carriage: "Throw me out of this thing."
Edward, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile: "Then you have to get in touch with the earth first, and then get the exact coordinates of the planet, then you can bring in relevant talents and resources. Don't talk about cars, even spaceships. It can be built. That way, we can expand a lot faster."
"That's not impossible, but judging by the current military strength of this planet, let alone spaceships. As long as we can build chariots and tanks, we can completely change the war pattern of this planet." Allen Said: "But the top priority, I think we should build an arsenal in the city of Sur, so that we can produce standard guns and ammunition first, which is much easier than chariots."
"We are still lucky, this is the border of the empire. At least, it will not attract too much attention." Edward said.
"Speaking of empires..." Allen said in a deep voice, "You have been to many planets, but have you ever seen other humans besides Earth?"
Edward shook his head.
"So I find it very strange that there are humans on this planet, and the civilization is very similar to ours." Allen looked at the world outside the window: "I always feel that this planet has some kind of secret. A huge secret!"
"Even if there is, we have to wait until we are strong enough to be qualified to explore." Edward said: "Compared with the unknown secret, I think your arsenal is more troublesome. Don't forget, the productivity of this world Still stuck in the manual workshop, I bet they don't even know what a processing machine tool is. I really doubt how your arsenal will be established."
Allen laughed and said, "It's all about human effort, and don't you think we don't need to do all the work. Don't forget the human beings on this planet, there must be some talented people among them. They only lack a little inspiration, A little spark of civilization. Just start the fire, I think it should start with the city of Sur."
"Just hope it doesn't burn the world up," Edward said.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, and Allen asked, "What's going on?"
The soldier outside the window replied, "It's a man, sir. Someone is lying in the middle of the road."
Allen jumped out of the carriage, and soldiers had already stepped forward. In front of the carriage, a person was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Allen stepped forward, and when the soldier turned the man over, Allen was startled and said in a voiceless voice, "Caesar?"
This person was Caesar who had been missing for many days. Hearing Alan's voice, he barely opened his eyes, his dry and bubbly lips moved, but he closed his eyes again. Allen saw that he had wounds on his body, and there were some leaves attached to the wound, which looked like some kind of herbal medicine. But the injury that couldn't heal Caesar, Allen hurried forward, and as soon as he touched his body, he found that Caesar's body temperature was frighteningly high.
He hastily asked the soldiers to move Caesar to the shade of a tree beside the road, and asked Father Miro to be called over. The priest rushed over quickly, because with his not-so-exquisite medical skills, he couldn't treat Caesar's wound at all. He could only do a checkup, and then took out a first aid needle from the medical kit Allen and the others brought and gave it to Caesar, and then said: "We have to send him to the city, this kind of injury can't be treated here. "
Allen nodded, and asked the soldiers to put Caesar on the carriage. Looking at Caesar, Edward frowned and said, "Why is he here?"
"I guess we won't know until he wakes up," Allen said.
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived in Sur. The city of Sur was singing and dancing, and Edward said: "Our new city lord knows how to buy people's hearts. Hey, he lowered the tax in Suhr by half. Now everyone in the city loves him, even if some hearts Those who have opinions don’t dare to do anything in this general situation, otherwise it will arouse public anger.”
When passing through a crossroads, Edward got out of the carriage and said, "I'll go to the Lord's Mansion first. If there is no accident, you can have dinner with Sir Ethan tonight."
"Say hello to the baron for me." Allen smiled.
Edward nodded and went.
The convoy finally stopped in front of a mansion, which can be said to be a wealthy area in the city of Sur. Although it is only a two-story building, it occupies a large area and even has a small square. The house originally belonged to a former big merchant in the city. Later, the merchant went bankrupt, mortgaged the house, and passed it into the hands of the Baron of York. Now it is naturally Ethan's property. Ethan has had the house cleaned in advance and arranged for Alan and the others to use them.
Allen jumped out of the car, and Lucy and Adele came over behind him. He pointed to the house and said, "Look, this will be our home from now on."
