Chapter 418: Siege

On the second day of the reception, Lucy came. With her came Metalon, with a suitcase in his hand. He handed it to Allen with a serious face and said, "Because of His Highness's support, she has moved here to live here from today. Mr. Allen, I must remind you again that our honorable Highness cannot tolerate any grievances. Otherwise, , it won't be me who will hold you accountable, but the royal family, and even His Highness's father..."

"Okay, okay." Lucy snatched the suitcase, patted the Marquis's chest and said, "Teacher, you should go back first, don't you still have to accept Alexander's compensation. Hurry up, there is nothing here for you." It's over."

Metalon looked at Lucy helplessly, and said, "I just don't want Your Highness to suffer."

Shaking his head and about to leave, Allen stepped forward and said, "Master Marquis, although I'm not a big shot. But if anyone dares to harm Lucy, I will do my best for her."

When Lucy heard this, her eyes turned into crescents.

However, Metalon said coldly: "Your life is worthless."

Then strode away, Allen looked at Lucy helplessly. Suddenly, I heard the Marquis throw a sentence: "But I feel my heart, and I will tell His Majesty the truth."

This is the real departure.

Allen made a grimace and said, "He's really strict."

"Of course, Mr. Metalon has always been like this." Lucy shrugged her shoulders, threw the suitcase to Allen and said, "Let's go, I heard you went drinking last night?"

"You're well-informed."

"Hmph, don't call me if there is such a good thing. You don't know, I'm almost suffocated these days."

"I think so."

For the next few days, Lucy lived in the wing tower of the castle. Allen was busy recruiting a group of technical talents on Babylon, preparing to pull back his own territory of Paradise Star. Counting the time now, the steelworks and weapon workshops in Storm City should be put into use, but the level of weapons that can be produced is limited. Allen hopes that the workshop can at least produce standard guns and ammunition, so relevant talents in this area are needed.

After asking Hexin butler, Allen got a small technical team. They include machine tool designers, weapons experts, and other related assistants. For such a team, their cost is not lower than that of an army of about 100 people, but Allen still signed a three-year contract with them. Now he has people and resources, but he lacks talents with professional knowledge in this area.

This team just made up for the shortcomings he lacked,

Even in the future, he can cultivate local talents on Paradise Star, as long as the relevant knowledge is passed on in a reasonable way.

A week later, on this day, a troop transport truck stopped in front of the castle. Soldiers jumped out of the car one after another. These soldiers had solemn expressions, and they assembled quickly and silently. Everyone exuded the atmosphere of the iron-blooded battlefield, which made Allen quite satisfied. They are an army exchanged with Merlin's military exploits, from the Sirius Legion, but after this army was handed over to Allen, the Sirius logo on them was removed.

However, in this well-disciplined army, their officer is a middle-aged man who looks rather lazy. He casually grabbed that bird's nest-like hair, handed a folder to Alan and said, "This is our A list of team members, identity information. Sir, when are we going to set off. There has been no fighting these days, and my hands are very itchy."

Allen scanned the information and said with a smile: "Captain Udi, don't worry, the most indispensable thing on Paradise is war."

"That's good. Only when there are battles can I earn military merits. Only when I have military merits can I support the old and the young at home." After he finished speaking, he patted his head again: "I forgot, we have already transferred out of Sirius, and there is another Fart military merit."

"That's not necessarily the case. I also have an army, so I will naturally have military merits. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."

Udi nodded, and then introduced two second lieutenants and several non-commissioned officers to Allen. They are Udi's right and left hands, and they are also the combat fulcrum of this unit. Officers and soldiers form a complete battle network.

The army that Windsor Bello found for Allen is of good quality. The soldiers are all veterans of the fifth to eighth ranks, and they have a set of flame warriors. With this configuration alone, the cost of this army is beyond the reach of ordinary families. Not to mention a 18th-level captain, two 15th-level second lieutenants, and many non-commissioned officers ranging from 11th to 2nd level.

Allen planned to incorporate the remaining flame warriors into this force after he went back. In the end, when he was thinking about the troop number, he gave the troop the name of his "inch-fire" combat skills.

Aggression is like fire, and every inch of land must be contested. He has high hopes for this team.

Two days later, Allen took the Inch Fire team, the technical team and others to the port, preparing to leave for Paradise Star to continue his pioneering business. Now that Paradise Star has officially joined the federation's development number, besides Grant, the known authorized families also have two other powerful families. And Diego pulled a team three days ago to form his own hunting group and went to Paradise Star.

It is conceivable that in the near future, there will be more competitors on that planet.

Allen's only advantage now is that he has established a firm foothold on that planet and successfully integrated into the society of the planet. For him, the most important thing now is to develop his power at a high speed, including territorial expansion, recruiting troops, accelerating economic and military development, and so on. As long as he is far ahead, he is the biggest beneficiary.

Before leaving, he received another message.

Leon took a family team to the surface, which is nothing new in Babylon today. As early as three months ago, the Federation had successively developed some ground battlefields. The battlefields in these areas allow the family's troops to enter. Depending on the area, the task of the family's private army may be to assist in defense, or it may be a series of local wars.

The performance of the family's private army on the battlefield can be converted into military achievements, so that they can be exchanged for various materials needed by the Federation. Originally, a war like this was more about attracting the troops of small families to settle in, so as to integrate their strength to help the Federation deal with the Gate of Freedom. But there are also wealthy sons like Leon who want to make a big splash on the battlefield. Therefore, after the opening of the ground battlefield, teams of many aristocratic families have already arrived on the surface.

Now the surface of the earth is full of gunpowder, but this human civil war is not only not going to end, but has a sense of intensification.

If you count the war on the interstellar defense line, then this time is definitely the most serious internal and external troubles in the history of the Federation after the Battle of Daybreak. However, in this great era, the power of individuals is quite small, and Allen has no worries about the Federation. So after silently wishing Leon to achieve results on the surface, Allen boarded the Dawn.

On that day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Dawn took off from the port apron on time, headed for the Rainbow Bridge on the moon, and went to Paradise Star again through the warp channel.

When seeing the Paradise Star in space again, the spacecraft's system automatically corrected the date, but at this time two days had passed since departure. Although in Allen's feeling, the Dawn only stayed in the warp channel for less than an hour.

According to the previous coordinates, the Dawn still landed in the Aspen Mountains. Allen considered whether to build a secret landing pad near the city of Sur in the future to facilitate the traffic of magic airships. This is very necessary. With the expansion of his territory in the future, after obtaining enough resources, he will need the mana spaceship to transport the resources back to the earth and hand them over to the family. It is conceivable that Suer City, a border city, will become bustling and prosperous by then.

However, these are things to come.

It took two days to walk out of the Aspen Mountains, and Allen led the team to the city of Sur to rest. When entering the city, the residents in the city showed curiosity and vigilance when they saw this army, and they were relieved only when they saw that the leader of the army was Allen, the entrusted knight. In their eyes, Edward, the lord of the city, and the young knight had already created enough miracles, so it didn't seem so weird to suddenly pull an army with strange clothes.

Edward arranged the Inch Fire Squad in the barracks in Sur City, and ordered someone to bring a batch of cloaks so that they would not be too noticeable when they went to Storm City. Allen came to the City Lord's Mansion and exchanged information with Edward. The important information brought by Allen is naturally that this planet has entered the Federation's numbering system and is open to several other families as a shared resource.

But after hearing that a family hunting group like Diego had come to Paradise Star, Edward seemed very calm. He smiled and said: "When you left, I imagined such a situation. In fact, this is nothing, because this planet is very big. Not to mention that it is only authorized to a few families, even if the Federation develops it by itself, it may not be a collision. Come on us."

"Unless they're entering somewhere near our territory."

"There is no need to worry about this. Because of the vastness of this planet, the Federation has designated designated areas for authorized hunting groups. Unless some people are too greedy or have other purposes, they will specifically find us." Allen Meaningfully said.

Edward nodded and said: "If that's the case, they will definitely regret it. We are the first batch of developers, and now we have successfully integrated into this planet and have a certain amount of power. If someone really doesn't open their eyes, I have no objection to using what we have Existing resources will kill them. Otherwise, you can also use the name of the empire to assemble the army of nearby nobles to drive out the outsiders."

"In some history books I have read, there are many such precedents."

"Don't worry about the joint development part for the time being, we can seize the time to expand our power. By the way, how is the recent situation in Storm City?" Allen asked casually.

Edward said solemnly: "I'm about to tell you that Storm City is said to be besieged."

Ai Lun frowned and said, "Is it the Black Iron Fort?"

"No." Edward shook his head. r1058
