"Looks like I guessed right." Allen wasn't surprised at all. What happened in Mosaior that day was still vivid in his mind. If Eric hadn't been covered up by the powerful figures in that city, it would have been impossible for him to set up such a killing trap, causing Allen's journey to almost end early.
"Yes, Eric provided Arkham with a huge sum of gold coins. It's cash, sir, not reserves. Imperial Verdict Blow Copy D Qiao Xia Wu Xie Say Scratch Your Head? Yi Xing?

Allen nodded and said, "Then please keep this evidence, Mr. Taylor. Now was not a good time. Even if I had evidence against Arkham, I would not be able to do anything to him. After all, the fake king had removed my title, and not all of the empire's generals had fallen to Howson. Our General Arkham is still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. If I push him too hard, he will stand on Howson's side. That won't be good. "
Taylor scoffed. "Arkham didn't say anything. He's only thinking for himself."
"Indeed." Nabott said helplessly, "If the Great Emperor was alive, he wouldn't dare to do this even if he gave Arkham ten guts. But now, neither Howson nor His Highness Julian were able to intimidate these Great Generals. Right now, only the Black Wolf Army clearly expressed their support for Hawson, but that was Roderick's instructions. As for our second prince, fortunately, the Emperor had arranged for General Woodrick to pledge loyalty to him before he passed away, giving us a chance to resist. "
"A general of the Giant Dragon Army? Where is he? "
"Now that the fake king has framed General Woodrick and his army as rebels," Solin replied gracefully. "After General Woodrick arrived at Blazing Castle, he took over the original punitive army and the allied forces of all the clans involved in the battle. This army of more than ten thousand men will head south along a secret route arranged by Grand Duke Hua and meet us at Iron Spear Ridge, so the Great General will not travel with us."
"That's a pity. I really want to see such a loyal and brave general." Taylor sighed.
"There will be a chance." Allen said. "But now, I think the safety of His Highness should be the most important. Mr. Taylor, please explain the arrangements for this trip in detail so that I can coordinate with the people assigned to protect you. "
They discussed until late at night. The main work of the guards was done by Allen and his men. Whether it was the remaining soldiers going north or the throwers from Dragon Spear Town, they were all qualified for the job. Moreover, there were also a. like like they were at like like they like they were by by by. that they like like like like they like they like they like. like. with, they would like to, like like like that like like. like like like. With the Steel Blade Warriors in hand, an army of a thousand men was nothing to Allen. Even if he couldn't kill them all, it was more than enough to break through the encirclement.
Of course, considering that this trip was mainly at sea, the role of the Steel Blade Warriors was relatively limited, but it could not be ignored.
Throughout the discussion, Solin's bold suggestions and Nabott's careful caution perfected the whole plan. It wasn't until they thought that the whole plan was perfect that they ended the discussion. After that, everyone returned to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.
Since he had to stay in Tiger Shark Harbor for two or three days, Julian could only hide himself in Taylor's house. Fortunately, this place was quite spacious, and there was a lot of room for movement. Julian didn't feel bored. The prince also knew how to make use of his time. During these rare days of vacation, he had arranged a full course for himself. In the morning, he asked Nabott for advice on how to govern the country, in the afternoon, he reviewed the history of the empire from Solin, and in the evening, he would exchange swordsmanship with Allen. In Nabott's words, Julian had never been more eager to learn, even if he had been a serious student in the past.
Allen was not idle either. During the day, he would disguise himself and change his clothes, act as Taylor's distant relative and assistant, and go to the dock to inspect the three merchant ships that would secretly carry them to Ark Harbor. Taylor provided him with the blueprints of the three ships so that Allen could compare and revise his plan. Sometimes Edward would go with him and give Allen quite a few good suggestions. However, in order to prevent his identity from being revealed, Allen was the only one who left Golden Sail Avenue most of the time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. Tomorrow, they would be able to leave the harbor by boat. On this day, Allen finally didn't have to go to the dock. After a few days, he had even gotten used to the stronger smell of fish at the dock. So when he walked into the bar and smelled the wine in the room, he was still a little unused to it.
The reason why he appeared in the Liquor Barrel Bar was because Taylor had received an anonymous letter. The letter stated that at four o'clock that afternoon, Allen would come to the bar alone and sit down at the designated seat. At that time, someone would contact Allen. The letter said that the person would provide some important information, including some secret plans by Howson against their team.
So Allen came. Although Taylor warned him that it might be a trap, he was afraid of missing the opportunity to learn about Howson's plan, so he invited him to come. Of course, he also made some arrangements. For example, Adele was on a clock tower two streets back, where she had a good view. If necessary, Li Xiao's sniper bullets could hit any part of the bar in a few microseconds.
There were also Lola, Regis, and other experts scattered on the streets near the bar. If anything happened, he would have to take care of Allen.
Allen walked into the bar and walked towards a round table with a "Reservation" sign at the window. As he was about to sit down, a blonde woman stopped him and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but this table is reserved."
"That must be the table I booked." Allen gave his name and threw a few imperial silver coins into the low collar of the bartender. The woman nodded and allowed Allen to take a seat. When she left, she did not forget to hint to Allen that she could provide other special services.
Not long after he sat down, someone came to his side and said, "What do you need, sir? For example, a bottle of aged wine. What do you think? "
It was a familiar voice.
When Allen raised his head, Diego, who was covered in a cloak, had already sat down opposite him. For a moment, Allen almost pulled out Gojoseon, who was lying on the edge of the table. It wasn't until he saw Diego's fresh scarred face and the helpless bitter smile in his eyes that he withdrew his hand from Gojoseon bit by bit. Diego watched as his hand returned to its original position and shrugged, "I'm glad you didn't do that. Otherwise, I would have to flee."
"Diego?" Allen nodded. "Tell you, what game are you playing? Shouldn't you kiss and cheer at our king's feet? Why do you have time to come here, or are you Howson's secret plan? "
"Come on, Allen. Something big has happened. " Diego shook his head and said, "You should know that there's a powerful fellow by Howson's side now. That's right, the fellow who killed our valiant His Majesty Tangerio. Who do you think he is? An expert from the Duchy of Shadow? No, no, no, that fellow's the same as us. He's an outsider. "
Diego pointed to the top of his head and poured a glass of wine for Allen and himself. "I overheard his conversation with his entourage, but he discovered it. Fortunately, he didn't dare to act recklessly in the palace, and I took the opportunity to escape. Howson can't stay any longer. His Majesty doesn't need a half-bucket of water like me right now. Oh, that bastard's name is Stark. You probably don't know his name yet, do you? "
Allen's heart skipped a beat.
Stark!
Sure enough, it was the culprit who destroyed Planet Maritan, the so-called Pirate Emperor Edward spoke of.
Diego glanced at him and said, "I want to make a deal with you, Allen."
"Really? I think it might be better to kill you now. Young Master Diego, you should remember some unpleasant experiences between us, right? "
Diego waved his hand and said, "Come on, Allen, are you referring to the spring hunt? At that time, didn't your two girls almost kill me, especially the one from the Morsons? I don't even know where Adele got such a terrifying sniper rifle. She almost blew my shit out. "
Allen frowned.
"Don't mind. I've been in the Black Wolf Army for a few years. I'm afraid I've forgotten the elegance of a noble." Diego drank the wine in his glass. "Let's talk about the deal. You know, I've been out of touch with my family for too long. Now I don't want to stay on this damn planet. You have a starship, don't you? Get me back. "
"Oh, then I think you still need a ticket."
"Of course, that's the part I want to trade with you." Diego said, "I'll tell you about Howson's arrangements. What I can tell you here is that apart from the Black Wolf Army, some vultures have also joined him, although not all of them." But those fellows were really annoying. Do you see this scar? That's right, it was left by one of the vultures, but his stinky head was also cut off for me. "
'"That's it, Howson's arrangements, detailed plans. Also, the Grant family will pay you a sum of money. Not much, 10 million Federation dollars. This is the maximum amount I can get. Of course, I'll only pay this money after I return to Earth. As for the information about Howson, just treat it as a deposit for the ticket. "
Allen narrowed his eyes. Diego's promise of ten million Federation dollars was no longer in Allen's eyes. With the resources he currently possessed, if they were exchanged for Federation dollars, they would definitely be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He was concerned about Howson's plan, and whether what Diego said was credible.
"Sounds good, but how do you make me believe it? Don't blame me for being too careful. After all, Young Master Diego has tried to take my life many times before, hasn't he? "
Diego nodded and smiled, "Indeed, Allen. Well, first of all, you can look at it this way. I want to go back to Earth. There's no conflict with you, is there? Secondly, while I'm with you, you can use all the methods you know to imprison my Origin Energy, or simply give me some kind of poison that needs to lurk for a period of time before taking effect. Of course, if what I said proves true and you refuse to give me the antidote, I think I still have a way to inform Howson to deal with you. "
