Allen put the so-called secret map back into the wrist wheel and said, "Looks like there's only half of this secret map. I don't know where the other half is. However, something that can be stored in Bali's spatial equipment is definitely not simple. I'll study it when I have the chance in the future. "
"That's the only way. I'm afraid I'll have to find the other half of the secret map to know what it is." Lu Qi blinked and said, "But since I know its name, maybe I can help you find out. However, I can't give you a deadline for this mission … "
"It doesn't matter, there's no deadline. If you can inquire about the information related to the secret map, you'll get a share of it when the time comes. But I have to say this in advance. If you get nothing, you'll be making a loss. "
Lu Qi smiled and said, "There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit and no loss in the world. I'll take this business. If Sir agrees, I want to share it with my peers so that I can gather information faster. As for the reward, I'll arrange it myself. There's no need for Sir to worry. "
Allen nodded, and the matter was settled. Lu Qi stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'll probably need to rest for a night with these injuries. By the way, before I left, I saw some of the union leaders in Mokdan being summoned to the military building. I'm afraid Rupert will ask these unions to assist the empire during the war. "
"This way, the number of experts on the other side will increase by a lot."
"Yes, but they're not soldiers after all, so they probably won't fight to the death. I just want to suggest that Sir don't kill them all. After entering the city, these people still need to be won over. "
Ellen said "Hmm" and said, "I will pay attention."
After Lu Qi left, Allen practiced storing and retrieving items from the spatial bracelet. By the time Lola came in, he was already able to instantly store Gojoseon. Seeing Lola come in, Allen blinked and said, "Look, I'll show you a magic trick." He shook Gojoseon. With a gentle shake of his hand, the sword disappeared. Allen spread his palm and smiled. "It's gone."
Lola sat down at the table and rested her chin on her hands. She tilted her head slightly to look at Allen and said, "You've gotten something good this time. How are you feeling, Lord Allen?"
Allen sat on the table and reached out to caress Lola's cheek. "So what if the things are good? You are my true treasures."
Lola pretended not to understand. She blinked and asked, "Who do you mean 'we'?"
Allen gently pinched her face and smiled without answering her question. Lola added, "I heard that you plan to have Yami and Baker dig a secret passage into Mokedan so that they can destroy the Gem Wall system?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"There's no problem. I'm just curious. Is there anything you can't cut? That Gem Wall sounds pretty powerful, but you should be able to cut it open, right? "
Allen shrugged, "It's not a big problem to have the Anthem of Destruction, but there's more than one stronghold empire like Mokedan. As long as we fight steadily, we can take down Mokedan's current situation. Therefore, I want to keep a hand. If we encounter such a city again in the future, we can give them a surprise. "
"So that's how it is."
"Then what do you think? And I'm the one who does everything. I've done all the dirty work. What do I need Alice's army for? " Allen tapped his finger on the table and said, "They are Alice's people, so of course they have to do their part for Master. Isn't that natural?"
"Yes, yes. Of course, what Lord Allen said is correct."
Allen jumped down and pulled Lola up. "The chat is over. It's time to rest, Miss Lola."
"Is it really just a rest?" Lola blinked her eyes and smiled wickedly.
Allen said seriously, "It's really just a rest."
The night was silent.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground, the gate of the camp opened, and the army of the Forgotten Realm was marching out in an orderly manner. Alice's army was large in number, but it was actually made up of many generals and their own private armies. There were many people, but the quality was uneven. From Allen's point of view, only Tong Wu, Yami, and Xuefeng's armies were pleasing to the eye. The quality of the soldiers of the other generals was inferior to the Shadow Army of the Empire. When they gathered together, they would have a strong momentum.
If this army was managed by Allen, he would only retain the army of three people, and the rest of the private army would be mixed up and trained in a unified manner. This way, they would be able to play several times more role in future battles. However, this was Alice's army. Those generals obeyed his orders, but they were not truly loyal to him. Therefore, Allen did not intend to change the original appearance of this army.
He knew very well that the Forgotten Realm army was just a stepping stone. After knocking on the gates of the empire, he would have to build an army of his own if he wanted to fight all the way to Demonic Ring City.
An army that was truly for his own use.
Fortunately, Agares lacked resources, but there were quite a few people. Moreover, the Barbarians were warlike and able to live. As long as they knew that they could contend against the empire, Allen wouldn't have to worry about not having enough soldiers to use. Moreover, he still had a Burning Legion. That was his true trump card.
As for now …
Allen stood at the foot of a low mountain beside the camp, looking down at the endless stream of troops coming out of the camp. He watched as the various private armies ran at different speeds, and even made the army look bloated and inexperienced. He frowned and whispered in a voice that he could hear, "I can only use it for now."
Then, one airship after another streaked past his head, and the whistling sound of breaking through the air completely covered up the echo of his voice.
The alarm in Mokedan City rang out.
The Imperial Army, which had detected the movements of the enemy camp early in the morning, was operating at full speed. The Shadow Army left the camp and, under the orders of their respective officers, entered various battle positions in the city to await orders. The Berserk Shadow Army was taken away by the ape-faced general to the defensive line outside the city. It seemed like they were going to take on the responsibility of defending the city. The ordnance of the various armed platforms began to operate, and the light hum of energy transmission rang out incessantly on all the platforms. Flying ships rose into the air from the docks, forming up in midair and waiting for orders.
Lubit, still dressed in black robes and gray armor, came to the command center of the army with swords and sabers all over his body. As soon as he entered, he could feel the tension before the battle. Even Lubit was no exception. Speaking of which, Lubit was not a rookie who had just entered the battlefield. Before coming to Mokedan, he had followed his brother, Miriam, in charge of some local battles on the eastern front. After experiencing the tempering of war, he should not have felt this kind of tension.
But the enemy commander was the expert who had killed Bali, and Bali was definitely one of the top three Great Generals in terms of fighting power. If even such a person had fallen to someone else's blade, then it was only natural for Lubit to be nervous. But despite his nervousness, Lubit had not lost his sense of propriety before the battle. As order after order was issued, Mokedan City entered a state of battle.
There was a plaza in the center of the city. This plaza was located on an artificial lake, and the plaza was connected to the shore by four bridges. People could use the bridges to reach the plaza. Normally, this plaza was both a landmark of Mokedan and a good place for people to rest. But today, the alarm was always on, and all the residents of Mokedan had to stay at home. As a result, the central plaza was empty and quiet.
At this time, the center of the artificial lake began to descend. After several high-power pumping devices at the bottom of the lake quickly drew all the water away, the four bridges separated in the middle, then retreated to the left and right, retracting into the square and the lake shore. In the center of the plaza, a massive rhombus began to rise. This rhombus began to glow with dark red lines, and energy began to seep out. After reaching a high altitude, it stopped.
At the same time, similar rhombuses began to rise around Mokedan City, but they were not as large as the crystal in the plaza. A few moments later, thousands of rhombuses had appeared around the city. At this moment, a pillar of light suddenly rose from the center of the plaza. This dazzling stream of light crashed into the massive crystal, and all the lines on the crystal erupted with light. Countless rays of light shot out from the crystal, each one connected to a rhombus.
In a flash, all the rhombuses were connected by the light, and the crystals began to light up. From a distance, it seemed like countless gems were rising from the sky above Mokedan. A moment later, a brilliant light poured down from the center of the city in all directions like a curtain of water. The curtain of light continued to descend until it reached the walls of the fortress. One curtain of light descended, and then another. Only after this process had been repeated several times did no new curtain of light appear.
Allen was standing on a land chariot, taking in all of this. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't clearly see Mokedan, which was wrapped up in several layers of light. That was Mokedan's Gem Wall defense system. The energy aura of this compound barrier was vast, and its defensive power was astonishing.
After raising the Gem Wall barrier, Lubitt subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that this action was a little weak. Fortunately, everyone in the command center was nervous, and no one noticed the strange expression on his face. Lubitt called the remaining Berserk Shadow Army general over and asked, "General Jeffrey, have the Union experts made arrangements?"
Currently, the Mokedan Empire only had Lubitt and two Berserk Shadow Army generals left. They were severely lacking in experts. Thus, after wiping out the black cat and the pitch black ball, Lubitt had met with the leaders of the assassin and mercenary unions in the city and reached an agreement. Now that Lubitt asked about it, Jeffrey, who was in charge of arranging these experts, nodded and said, "I've already arranged for them to be scattered to the various defense lines. They will fight when necessary. However, General Lubitt, we can't expect these Union experts to risk their lives for us. If things go south, they will be the first to run. "
