When the assassins were all lying down, Allen was thinking about the meaning of such an assassination. It was true that they had put in a lot of effort into choosing the location and timing, but since the mastermind dared to choose such a time and place to attack, wouldn't he know that there were experts around him today? The result of the assassination was completely annihilated like this, so it was completely meaningless.
Therefore, Allen vaguely felt that the other party must have left something behind. Sure enough, when the "corpse" attacked, Allen knew that this was the "main dish" of the entire assassination!
This move was indeed beyond many people's expectations, especially when the killer did not use Origin Energy and purely relied on the special structure of his body to launch an attack. This caused the reactions of many experts who relied on Origin Energy to sense to be a little slower. This main dish, be it in terms of mentality or timing, was just right.
The black line in the killer's mouth was nailed fiercely. If it hit, Allen's head would explode like a watermelon.
Just as he was about to hit, Allen suddenly lowered his head, shifted, and turned around. The incomparably coherent movements made it seem as if he had already "seen" this killing move in advance, appearing calm and composed. At this moment, Allen raised his head and looked at the assassin. The smile on his face did not disappear as he raised his right hand and pointed at the other party. A wisp of gray light shot out from the tip of Allen's finger. The seemingly weak gray light carried an exceptionally domineering aura. It flashed through the black line that the assassin spat out and went straight for the assassin's forehead.
The assassin paused for a moment, and then his long tongue split open in the middle. Blood sprayed out all the way, and in the end, even his head was split into two. He fell to the ground dejectedly, but this time, he could not be more dead.
The gray light returned and disappeared into Allen's palm. It was a wisp of the White Emperor Sword's will. It was naturally easy to kill an assassin who had not even used Origin Energy.
Seeing this scene, Zasuo's heart sank. He asked himself if he were to change positions with Allen. Although he would definitely be killed, he would inevitably be injured. It would be very difficult for him to be as unharmed as Allen and even counterattack.
Only then did the assassination come to an end. Zha Suo ordered his men to clean up the corpses while he accompanied Allen into the main banquet hall.
In a building two streets away from the scene of the incident, a shadow flashed past a window on the third floor facing the street. It was a dark-skinned, black-clothed Barl woman. She quickly went downstairs and knocked on the door of a room on the second floor near the stairs. Someone opened the door. Behind the door was a Barl man with bone spurs on his shoulder. The two of them whispered to each other, and the woman left. The man returned to the room and fumbled under the simple table. The table actually split open, revealing an exquisite AI inside.
This was originally a common terminal in Agares, but it was relatively rare in the wastelands. The man sent a message on the terminal and put away the brain. Then, he changed into a new set of clothes. When he arrived downstairs, he was once again the owner of the small shop selling groceries.
However, the message sent by the boss was quickly received by someone.
The location was a room in an equipment store. This equipment store had been open in Gale City for a long time, but no one knew that it was actually a stronghold of the Kingdom of Magic Shadow in the Great Wastelands. At this moment, in a room behind the store, someone whispered the message sent by the grocery store owner into the ear of a Barl. Through the window, one could see the quiet alley behind the store. Two young men nearby sneaked past, and not long after, the noise of cursing and metal knocking could be heard.
This was a common occurrence in the Great Wastelands. After listening to the report, the Barl gently closed the window. The dim light in the room fell on him, and one could see a lizard-like head. The Barl was like a lizard walking upright. He put his hands behind his back and swept his long tail gently on the ground. Suddenly, he laughed out loud.
"Lord Moro?" His assistant looked over in confusion.
The Barl named Moro stuck out his thin tongue from his mouth and hissed like a lizard. Then he said, "It's been a long time since something so interesting happened."
The assistant complained, "It's not interesting at all. Before Lord Lamer left, he told us to just keep an eye on the Great Wastelands. Look at how long he's been gone, you … "
Moro looked at him and said, "Are you complaining? Dear Mr. Kuru, or do you want to take my place? I think the failure of this operation is the best opportunity to strike me down, isn't it? "
Assistant Kuru rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, my lord. This seat in the Great Wastelands is not comfortable. It's better for you to sit. I just want to remind you that this time you sent out ten A-rank assassins and a double A-rank gecko without permission, but the entire army was annihilated. I don't care, but I'm afraid that if Lord Lamer blames us, we won't have a good ending. "
"Shut up, Kuru. You coward, I really don't know how you got into our Shadow Army. " Moro gestured for his assistant to shut his mouth and said, "Just you wait and see. Not only will our Shadow Army branch not be punished this time, Lord Lamer will also have to praise us. Don't tell me you still can't tell? That human who calls himself the Dark King killed even the gecko in one move. This kind of person is as dangerous as Lord Lamer, Lord Bali, and the others. "
There were many generals in the Devil Shadow Kingdom, but there were only ten generals with names like Latent Demon Lamer and Berserk Demon Bali. A figure comparable to these generals suddenly appeared in the Great Wastelands, and he even unified the entire Great Wastelands. Even if it was just on the surface, it would still become a threat. For a long time, the two empires' attitude towards the Great Wastelands had been one of laissez-faire. Firstly, they were afraid of the owner of the Lost Realm behind the Wastelands. Secondly, the Great Wastelands had always been like scattered sand, unable to achieve any climate.
But with the arrival of Allen, this situation was changing. Not only did Allen bring the army of the Forgotten Realm, he also unified the Great Wastelands. If he was given time, who would dare to say that a third empire wouldn't appear in Agares?
The Shadow Army branch that the Demonic Shadow Kingdom had set up in the wasteland was to monitor the movements of this place. Dobia also had a similar organization, but just like Dobia couldn't figure out the situation of the Demonic Shadow Kingdom's branch, Mo Luo and the others also didn't know what identity the enemy country's organization had in the wasteland.
Since he had already taken action, Mo Luo was sure that Dobia would soon make a move as well. Perhaps their people were among the guests at tonight's banquet.
"Kuru, go and report the details to Lord Lamer. A person who doesn't lose to a general, coupled with that Forgotten Realm army, I always feel that Mokedan should be more vigilant. "
At this moment, Allen, who was on Mo Luo's mind, had finished meeting a group of guests with Zasuo. Taking advantage of their free time, the two of them walked to the corner of the hall. Allen glanced at the hall and whispered, "I didn't expect that there would be a habit of holding banquets in the wasteland."
Zasuo laughed and said, "These are the customs that the merchants brought from Dobia. A hundred years ago, there was no such scene of singing and dancing in the wasteland. There are quite a few scenes of murder and arson every day, but I heard that Dobia also learned these banquets from humans and the people of Adahua Planet. It seems that the nobles of Sunset City like this. "
Allen glanced at him and said, "Is there something on your mind?"
The Bone King restrained his smile and said with a solemn expression, "Actually, there's a question that I don't want to ask myself. It's for the big shots in the wasteland."
"Let me guess, you want to ask what's going on with the army in the Forgotten Realm?"
Zasuo wasn't surprised at all that Allen had guessed and nodded generously.
"Before I answer, I also have a question for you."
"My lord, please speak."
"You have been rooted in the Great Wasteland for many years. Have you ever thought about going north or west and changing the scenery?"
Zasuo's entire body trembled as he revealed a shocked expression. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not have thought about it? Do I really think that the wasteland is a good place? Agares was not a resource-rich planet, and the wasteland was even more so. If it wasn't for a reason, who would want to stay in such a damned place? Even though the environment of the wasteland is much better now than when it was first formed, we would be more willing to go to the two empires if the conditions permit. "
"Your Excellency should also know how the Great Wasteland was formed." Zasuo said helplessly, "The two empires of Agares face each other across the sea of blood, and the resources are almost completely divided up by them." The vast majority of the Barbarians could only become the subjects of the two Sovereigns in order to gain a foothold. Even so, there will be people who can't stay in the empire. However, they have very few choices. There are only two places on Agares that they can go to: Dobia and the Demonic Shadow Kingdom. But if they don't want to go to either of these places, they can only go to the more barren areas outside the empire's territory. "
"That's how the Great Wasteland came. Since we have left the empire, that means that no one can go back. Unless … "
"Unless we fight back." Allen shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zasuo. "Now you should know my answer."
Although he had vaguely guessed Allen's intentions, Zasuo's entire body still trembled when he heard this answer that was no different from a direct answer. The army in the Forgotten Realm was indeed prepared to attack the empire. As for the Great Wasteland, it would undoubtedly play the role of logistics and supply. Zasuo said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, this is not a joke. Whether you choose Dobia or the Demonic Shadow Kingdom, either of those two empires has a Sovereign in charge. "
"We do too." Allen hinted, "You might as well think about why the two empires have not dared to invade the Lost Realm for a long time."
Zasuo's eyes lit up. "Could it be that she …"
"That's right. The woman described in the Book of Roddo, the one who lent me the Forgotten Realm Army, is also a Sovereign," Allen said. However, he would not tell Zasuo that Alice could only be a Sovereign in the Lost Realm. However, Allen had already achieved his goal by using Zasuo's mouth to release this news. If his side also had a Sovereign, these people would fully cooperate in attacking the Demonic Shadow Kingdom.
