"You know what? The Shadow Duchy is an extremely bad place. You can't imagine how bad the conditions there are. Originally, I thought that Barbarian Stone Star was already desolate, but the land where the Shadow Duchy was located could no longer be described as cruel. I don't even know how those fellows survived on such a land. What's worse, they don't seem to think there's anything wrong with it. "
The dining hall of the City Lord's Mansion was temporarily closed. Allen, Belmore, Hubble, Roy, and Broy sat down casually. Everyone had a wine bottle in their hands, except Hubble. Behind him was a wine barrel! There was a hole in the barrel and a wooden pipe was inserted. The wooden pipe was plugged with a stopper. After removing the stopper, as long as Hubble opened his mouth, the wine would automatically fall into his mouth.
He called it supreme enjoyment.
Now Hubble took another sip, a big gulp, and the wine was swallowed into his stomach like water. Only when he was satisfied did Hubble plug the wooden tube again and sigh, "In that damned place of Shadow Duchy, let alone wine, there's not even a little decent food. I've forgotten how many times I've eaten half-cooked steaks. That's not all. The disgusting thing is that the steaks are often about to rot. "
"Heavens, this is really tragic." Allen shook his head. "It's rare for you to last there for a few months. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay for a day."
"How can you humans compare to me? We Catus are famous for our iron stomachs. Even if it's steel, we can still eat it for you to see." Hubble, who was already a little drunk, began to exaggerate, "But what saddens me the most there is not the bad environment, nor is it the lack of wine to drink." It's my own kind. They're treated as idiots. Even the Jana have a higher status than us. On Barbarian Stone, Vashak used our people as cannon fodder in order to curry favor with the Barbarians for greater power. I didn't expect it to be the same on this planet. I'm really sad. "
He took a few more sips of liquor.
"Big man, not all Catus are as smart as you." Said Belmore.
"Bullshit, I'm not smart at all. I know that. Aren't you mocking me?" Hubble stood up and staggered to the center. He pointed at the others and said, "But I'm not stupid either. Otherwise, how would I have gotten the information you needed? Let me tell you, you have to hurry up and get ready, those guys are about to attack. Moreover, they're moving in full force. "
"At the border of the Shadow Duchy, they built a black wall. The wall was ten meters tall, and the black stones were cold and hard. They divided the ground into two. Behind the walls was a vast expanse of land. By the time I returned, their army had completely filled up the land, leaving not a single gap. How many people were there? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? God knows, I only know a lot, so much that the timid among you will pee your pants. "Hubble fell to the ground as he spoke, and finally said," Be careful. "
Then, he sat down and fell asleep.
Allen shook his head and asked Belmore and Broy to help the big fellow back to his room. He and Roy were the only ones left in the dining room. Looking at the mercenary hired from the Mercenary Guild back then, he was now an important figure in the army. Roy was the commander of the conventional forces, and he had been doing his duty over the years, organizing the army and training the soldiers under the orders of Allen or other agents.
"The contract is almost here." Allen smiled and said, "If you choose to quit at this time, I think it's very wise."
Roy was silent.
Julian set foot on the land of the South, officially forming a confrontation between the North and the South. The Empire's army was neutral. Under these circumstances, the Duchy of Shadow chose to invade at this time. Other places didn't know, but Mountain City and even Allen's territory were bound to become the frontlines of the war in the south. Allen didn't know if the Imperial Army would lend a helping hand. The only one he could trust was Woodrick's Dragon Army.
At present, the Giant Dragon Army had yet to arrive, so at this time, both Mountain City and Allen's territory would be under immense pressure once the war began. Roy was only in an employment relationship with him, and he was not like Belmore. Belmore was also a mercenary before, but because of his relationship as a follower, he would not leave Planet Heaven even without a contract.
As for Roy, he had a choice, and Allen was prepared to not interfere with his choice.
Roy drank the wine in the bottle, revealing a row of white teeth. The man, who had never been careful with his words, grinned and said, "Let me think about it after this war. If I leave now, I'm afraid that my boys will be defeated by some good-for-nothing. It's not easy for me to train them, Young Master Allen. So, let me be the one to command them. "
"Of course I'm happy that you can stay, but Roy, this war is different from the past. You need to think carefully."
"Of course I know, but after I go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to get such exciting work." Roy shook the empty bottle and said, "Young Master Allen, you know that I used to be a soldier. So the battlefield is where I should be. Don't even think about kicking me away at this time. I'll say, no way. "
"Alright, then after this war is over. If you want to go back, I'll pay three times the original commission. "Allen shrugged." Don't think it's too little. To be honest, I'm very poor now. "
Roy laughed, "As far as I know, you're already very generous, as far as employers are concerned. Then, thank you for the raise, boss. "He stood up and said," If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the barracks. You don't know that if you don't keep an eye on them for a moment, those brats will rebel. "
Allen nodded.
After Roy left, Belmore came back. Allen snapped his fingers and said, "Shall we go to the training ground and exchange a few moves?"
"I'll be happy to accompany you."
"Let's say it first, I'm very powerful now. Not to mention Hoey, even ten Saint experts have fought. If you dare to be careless, be careful that you don't have the strength to please Kira when you go back at night. "
Belmore narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe she's happy to please me."
Allen looked up and rolled his eyes.
After Hubble returned, there were more towers on the Absolute Shadow Highlands. These towers were all made of wood. The soldiers of Mountain City pulled in regular wood and built nineteen towers in just one day. The distance between each tower was about the same. The farthest one was near the Lagerma Mountain Range, and the nearest one was less than a kilometer away from Mountain City. If all the towers were connected by a line, they would find that this line connected Mountain City to the Lagerma Mountain Range.
A large horn hung from each tower, and when the horn sounded, it could be heard clearly between the towers. Or if the enemy appeared, the horns of the tower would sound one by one, sending an alarm from the Lagerma Mountain Range back to Mountain City.
