Lamar was still the sa. When Alan saw him, he thought of the words dark, damp, and rotten. This Great General of the Empire had the aura of death everywhere. He was simply like a devil crawling out of a grave. He was smiling, but there was absolutely no trace of a smile in his eyes. Alan suppressed the urge to kill him with the Shattered Hymn, smiled, and walked up with Belmord and Trisley.
Walking down from the deck of the airship, Ramo extended his hands enthusiastically. Alan frowned slightly at an undetectable angle before embracing him. At the mont of contact, Alan discovered that Lamo could barely feel his body temperature, just like a cold-blooded animal. If such a sign were to restrain his aura, his perceptual acuity would probably be as sharp as his, and he would miss out on Ramo. He didn't know if this was due to Lamar's natural signs or so sort of ability.
But Alan had never seen an ability that could make hot blood cold.
"Lord Dark King killed Bali, and he's so young. His future is limitless," Ramo said with a half-truthful smile.
"Thank you, Lord Ramo. I'm just lucky." Ellen replied in a neither light nor heavy tone.
"Luck is also a form of strength, but the thought of an old friend like Bali being wrecked in such a place is really lancholy." Lamo said with a sorrowful expression.
Ellen sneered in his heart and simply probed, "Is Lord Ramo planning to avenge this old friend?"
Ramo hissed like a lizard and laughed, "How could that be? Let alone Bali and I have known each other for a long ti, but our friendship is just average, not to the point where I'm going to risk my life for him." Besides, my main mission this ti is to send a ransom to Lord Dark King in exchange for the 100,000 soldiers of Demonic Shadow Empire. No matter what, I will never use force in the Mockpill. "Don't worry, my lord. Of course, I won't be able to guarantee that I'll see you again after leaving the Mockpill."
Ellen chid in with him and said, "I'm relieved to hear Lord Lar's words. At least I don't need to sleep to bring them with ."
Lamar looked at Belmord and Trisley.
The mont she t his gaze, Belmord's face suddenly turned a little pale, and Trisley imdiately lowered her center of gravity, like a cat about to pounce on soone. Ellen patted Ramo quietly and said, "We have already hosted a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion. Would you please move?"
Lamo's expression beca unnatural for a mont, and his eyes narrowed into a line. In the blink of an eye, he returned to normal and laughed, "Of course I'm happy."
Alan led the way.
Ramo was half a step behind, occasionally looking at Alan with the corner of his eye. He had already noticed the two of them when he walked down the deck, and from the obscure and erratic auras of both of them, he could guess that they were fellow Allen's companions. There was a deep aning in that glance just now. Lamo wanted to give the two people beside Alan a blow by simply relying on Origin Energy, who was wrapped in a wisp of pure sharpness in his line of sight, so that he could tell Alan that even if he had experts who were skilled in assassination, these two people were not enough if he wanted to make a move.
Unexpectedly, he glared at the two of them separately. Alan slapped his palm and scattered his strand of Origin Energy. The Origin Energy in Allen's palm did not show any signs of grandeur or distinctiveness, but it annihilated his pure Origin Energy without a trace. Even Ramo did not know what was going on. This move is even more tyrannical than Lamo's. It undoubtedly tells Lamo that even if you do it yourself, as long as you seize the opportunity, I will still be able to smash you to pieces like a mosquito.
Even better, the fact that Alan killed Bali was Tie Zheng Zheng's was evidenced by the spatial equipnt on his wrist. Regardless of whether Ramo was willing or not, Alan's simple action had already planted a very bad feeling in his consciousness. Before he could completely eliminate this feeling, if Lamo reluctantly attacked, he would probably reveal a flaw in his perfect skill. He was an expert in Chinese dicine, and he understood this principle even more clearly.
Right now, he was a little suspicious that what Allen said just now was actually digging a pit to make him jump. As he looked at Allen's figure, Lamo felt that this young man was more and more unfathomable. For so reason, he rembered the eternal shadow in Shadow Castle. This scene frightened Ramo into a cold sweat. He actually compared Ellen to the Demon King. Doesn't that an that Ellen has the potential to beco a Paragon?
Lamo was originally the most brilliant killer, and every killer had a cold and heartless heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed all of these thoughts. His mood returned to icy cold and unwavering. He followed Alan into the car and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
After a big and small banquet, Alan went straight to the point. Ramo was invited to the chamber, accompanied by lani, Grace, the Treasurer and several other officials. When they arrived at the eting hall, Ramo took a tablet from the assistant and handed it to Allen. "Sir, please take a look. This is the ransom you asked for. Apart from so cash, the rest has been exchanged for the sa value as you asked."
Allen casually glanced at the 30 combat airships and their supporting facilities. Below them were war chariots, machine guns, high-energy turrets, military supplies, and other items. The list was so dense that Allen handed the tablet to the Treasurer, who checked it with several other officials. Seeing the small group of officials bury themselves in checking the list, Lamar smiled and said, "Sir, besides paying the ransom this ti, there is actually another suggestion. May I ask if Sir is willing to listen to it?"
"There's no harm in saying so."
"At the Battle of Mokedan, His Excellency had already demonstrated the extraordinary battle prowess of an imperial general, as well as his unparalleled military talent," Ramo said cheerfully. For soone like you, I, Demonic Shadow Empire, am thirsty for talent. Your Excellency has united the great wasteland and attacked the Mokedan for nothing but territory wealth. I, Demonic Shadow Empire, can still give this to you. If Your Excellency agrees, you will be the Grand General of the Empire from now on. You will naturally fill the vacancies of Grand Superintendent of Bali and Commander of the Berserk Shadow Army. In addition, you can retain everything you have, including ownership of the Great Wasteland and Moktan. "Above that, you can choose one of the southern cities of the empire as your own territory. All the profits from the territory will be yours exclusively, and the empire will not take any of you."
The entire hall was as quiet as a ghost realm.
Not to ntion that lani was dumbfounded, even the officials who were checking the list forgot what they were doing and stopped. Only Grace remained calm and relaxed as he closed his eyes and sat quietly. It was no wonder that lani and the others were shocked. They were originally from Demonic Shadow Empire. They knew very well what thods the empire would use to deal with people like Alan. In short, those thods definitely did not include what Lamar had said now.
Ramo's words were no different from the fact that the empire did not pursue Allen's actions, and even gave him large territories. This was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Empire. Even if it was an Empire Great General, he had never said anything about his territory. Alan smiled and said, "The conditions are good."
"It's already quite generous. When I heard this from His Majesty, I suspected my own ears. It can be seen that His Majesty thinks highly of you, Your Majesty."
"Oh, it's rare for a small character like to enter Shadow Castle's eyes. Look, I can't even find a reason to reject such a generous offer."
Lamar hissed again and said, "So Lord Alan agrees?"
"I didn't say that. Before answering this question, I would like to consult Lord Ramo." Ellen said indifferently, "When that person offered such a generous offer, did he ntion that if I refused, what if I refused?"
The atmosphere in the eting hall turned cold.
'"If Sir refuses, I will leave after the ransom is paid. But soon, two Great Generals of the Empire will arrive together. They will be accompanied by 500,000 Shadow Army, 20 Empire Generals, and countless high-and middle-ranking officers. Is Lord Alan satisfied with this news?" Lamar hissed like a poisonous snake spitting out a ssage.
Ellen narrowed his eyes and asked, "The 100,000 Shadow Army only allowed the empire to take out so many things. Now I'm a little curious. One or two Empire Great Generals, a few generals and more than 100,000 Shadow Army, what will the empire use to redeem them? How about a province? What does Lord Ramo think?"
"Sir, this joke is a bit too big."
'"It's a bit too big, I hope it doesn't scare you," Allen said with a laugh.
Lamo laughed, "I'm scared, but I'm not scared to death." Looks like Lord Alan's answer is already obvious. Now, even I have to applaud the courage of my lord. It's just that I have to remind my lord that sotis courage is not worth much. How about this, before the two generals arrive, my suggestion is still valid. Whenever Your Excellency wishes to join the empire, I believe His Majesty will welco you without any responsibility. "Here is a way to contact . I hope to hear good news from you soon."
Ramo left the next day. As he said, this ti he ca only as an emissary of the empire and did not take any drastic action against Alan. It could also be said that it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that Ellen's slap made him more worried, and that was why he beca a serious ssenger. As for the "ransom" sent by the empire, the treasurer verified that it was correct and stored it in the warehouse. The 100,000 Shadow Army mounted the transport ship brought by Ramo and followed the empire's Great General out of Mokedan.
After sending Ramo away, Grace chuckled at the mont when no one was around. "Even I was tempted to hear the terms of the empire. I was surprised that His Excellency could refuse so straightforwardly."
'"Even though I'm not a businessman, I know that there's no reason for to go back on my word. Since I made a deal with Lord Alice, I'll do it to the end. There's no reason for to lose it halfway. Otherwise, no one would dare to make a deal with in the future, right, Mr. Grace?" Said Allen with a smile.
'"I don't understand," said Grace with a smile. "I only know that Lord Alice is not mistaken. However, the empire will send an army, and there will even be two generals. How does Lord Alan plan to deal with them?"
