Today, Allen's residence in Gale City was packed with people. Bone King Zasuo, Mad Disciple Kajiasi, and Bad Luck Ryrick had all arrived. At the same time, several capable subordinates of these three people, as well as the leaders of several unions in the Great Wasteland, as well as various figures, had all gathered together. These people were naturally gathered here because of Mo Kedan's spy. Allen, who had just returned to the Great Wasteland yesterday, could only receive Zasuo, Kajiasi, and a dozen other outstanding figures in the room on the second floor. Needless to say, Zasuo and the other two leaders of Cyan Bird, the vice president of Black Heart, and the great merchant Gary were waiting for them. As for the others, they were stopped in the lobby on the first floor, and Gelse was in charge of receiving them.
In the room on the second floor, the atmosphere was heavy.
Allen stood by the window with his back to the crowd, giving them a view of his back. The merchant Gary looked left and right, Zasuo sat with his eyes closed, Kajiasi was still frowning, and Ryrick was fiddling with a few large rings on his hand. The two leaders of Cyan Bird were also doing their own things. Black Heart's Mel was following them, and the others were also silent.
Gary couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and coughed twice. "Sir Allen, we can't just sit and watch Mokedan's spy come."
"Yes." Allen turned around and nodded. "Indeed, we can't just sit and watch. What do you think, Mister Gary?"
Gary pulled himself together and said, "The Great Wastelands and Mokedan have always been at peace. From what I see, this mission is neither serious nor not serious."
"Oh? Then I'd like to hear Mister Gary's unique opinion. How serious is it, and how not? "Allen smiled.
Gary stood up and glanced behind him. Apart from two merchants who had business dealings with him, no one else raised their heads to look at him. He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it. He cleared his throat and said, "I think so, Sir Allen. The reason why Mo Kedan sent this spy was because of the army outside Gale City. If I was the Mokedan City Lord, I would also be unable to eat and sleep in peace because of the sudden appearance of such an army. If we ignore it, then Mo Kedan will see it as a threat. At that time, when the Shadow Army presses on our borders, do you think this matter will not be serious? "
"It is indeed quite serious. Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Gary?"
"Of course." Gary said, "Since Lord Allen has gathered such an army, he naturally can't disband it just like that. Moreover, Lord Allen had already expressed his intention to attack Mokedan. I'm not trying to stop you. It's just that we're not ready yet. At this moment, the best thing to do is to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and break up the whole. "
"Sir, as long as you disperse the army, our wasteland can still accommodate a hundred thousand people. The scattered troops were dispersed and integrated into the Great Wasteland. In this way, Gale City did not have any conspicuous troops stationed there. Naturally, Mo Kedan could not find any excuse to launch an attack. But in reality, His Excellency's army was still in the Great Wasteland. As long as we are ready, we can assemble our troops at any time. Wouldn't that be perfect for both sides? "
After saying that, Gary turned around and looked at the people behind him with a hint of pride. However, only the merchants gave him a thumbs up. The others, including Zaso, did not have any expression at all. Then he heard applause. When he turned around, Allen had just stopped clapping.
Allen said, "As far as merchants are concerned, Mr. Gary is quite smart to have such a consciousness." It was indeed a good idea to break up and wait for the right moment. However, Mr. Gary still neglected one thing. If Mokedan was still in charge of Gulant, this method should be feasible. But the one in charge of that city right now is Bali, the Grand Warlord known as the Violent Devil. If my guess is correct, Mokedan has probably already sent out his troops. Bali won't care about what we do. According to my understanding of people like that, they prefer to take everything into their own hands. Instead of waiting for our reaction, he would choose to send troops directly. Once he sees that the army of Gale City has not dispersed, he will directly attack, right? "
Pausing for a moment, Allen said indifferently, "It's more likely that he won't care about the army or anything. Instead, he will use this as an excuse to attack the Great Wasteland. Mokedan or the Demonic Shadow Kingdom should have wanted to do this for a long time. "
Gary's entire body stiffened. After a while, he muttered, "How is this possible? How could this be …"
Zaso, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Gary. I agree with Lord Allen. You are a successful businessman. However, I'm not as thorough as Lord Allen about the thoughts of those big shots. "
The Bone King looked at Allen and said softly, "After all, he is also a person who stands at that height, so the scenery he sees is basically the same."
Gary sat back in a daze. If what Allen said was true, then his business would definitely be affected, and the impact would not be small. He didn't want Mokedan and the Great Wasteland to fight like this, at least not so quickly, so that he would have time to prepare. However, there was no time for him to prepare now. Now, he only had two choices. One was to live and die with Allen, and the other was to rely on Mokedan. He just didn't know what that Great Warlord would think of a businessman in the Wasteland like him.
Then, he saw Allen intentionally or unintentionally looking at him with some kind of deep meaning in his eyes. In an instant, Gary's whole body turned cold. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll immediately get people to prepare food, equipment, and ordnance. But time is so tight, I'm afraid the resources that can be gathered are limited … "
"It's okay, I'm already very happy that Mr. Gary has this intention." Allen knew that it was only at this moment that Gary made up his mind to live and die with the Wasteland. He believed that if it wasn't for Mokedan's sudden action, it would not be easy for a businessman like Gary to make such a decision. As soon as Gary made his stand, the other merchants who followed his lead looked at each other and finally stood up to say that they would help prepare supplies.
At this time, there was no need for Allen to say anything else. He looked at Zaso and the others and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for war!"
The morning sun slowly climbed up the window of the office building. Bali stood in front of the window and sneered at it. With his eyesight, he could easily see the direction of the south city gate. There, the city gate was slowly opening. A vast horn sounded, and groups of Shadow Army soldiers were driving out of the city gate. In front of the army were troop carriers with the clear logo of the Demonic Shadow Kingdom on their bodies. A total of three hundred troop carriers and dozens of main war chariots, this convoy that pulled nearly half of the Shadow Army began to set off for the Great Wasteland in the morning sun.
"My lord, is this really okay?" Adjutant Angelica walked over and frowned as she looked at the black dragon-like convoy outside the city. "Half of the Shadow Army has been drawn out at once. What if …"
Bali turned around and interrupted her, "Don't worry, Angelica." How could a small wasteland compare to the foundation of our empire, even if there was a Forgotten Realm behind it? 30,000 Shadow Soldiers were thrown out. Even if the wasteland could eat them, I wouldn't care. The reason is very simple. There are already 100,000 Shadow Soldiers on their way here. They will probably arrive this afternoon. "
"The 30,000 Shadow Army will be cannon fodder and vanguard. They will test the strength of their opponents for me. I'm looking forward to how the wastelands will deal with it. If their table manners are too ugly, it means that their strength is limited. At that time, I won't wait for them to attack. I'll immediately send out my army to attack them. "
The adjutant didn't seem to dispel his doubts and whispered, "But His Majesty has always turned a blind eye to the wasteland and explicitly forbidden people from provoking the Forgotten Realm. It's hard to guarantee that His Majesty won't be happy with this. "
Bali laughed, his eyes revealing a cold light, "Your worries are unnecessary. This operation was personally ordered by His Majesty."
"What?" Angelica almost thought she had heard wrongly, "How is this possible? His Majesty has changed his mind?"
"That's right. Although I don't quite understand His Majesty's thoughts, isn't this a good thing? If you call me here and want me to cower in Mokedan like a turtle, you might as well kill me. " Bali pulled his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "Now it's very different. His Majesty has lifted the long-standing ban. This way, I can start a massacre!"
At the same time that Moke Dan's army set off, in the Shadow Castle of Demonic Ring City, the Shadow Hall had once again become a forbidden area that everyone in the castle talked about after Spenak's return. At this moment, no matter which corner of the castle it was, anyone who had a slight reaction to Origin Energy could clearly feel that the entire castle was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. It was the might of the Demon King that was emitted from the Shadow Hall. Even though he didn't deliberately release his aura, even such a casual pressure caused everyone to tremble with fear.
In the Shadow Hall, it was clearly morning, but the entire hall was incomparably dark. The sunlight outside the window seemed to have collided with an invisible wall and was blocked outside. The hall was dim, and the throne on the high platform was even darker, like an abyss.
In the abyss-like darkness, only two red lights shone. The Demon King's gaze passed through the narrow window of the hall, crossed the entire city, and landed on a distant point in the south.
"What exactly do you want to do? You actually let your army camp in the wasteland. Is this a demonstration to me, or is there something else? "
In the pitch-black darkness, someone muttered to himself, "Could it be that you have found a way to leave the Forgotten Realm without a heart? If that's the case, then I can try to kill you. It's not easy. After so many years, I can finally make up my mind. "
