"Sir Ganli, everything you want is here."
The City Lord of Iron Tree City was all smiles as he knelt down next to Gan Li, almost kissing the shoes of this general.
Gan Li sat on a large, fluffy chair, and two beautiful maids were feeding him delicately prepared delicacies. Gold, gems, crystals, and rare minerals were piled up on a long dining table in front of them. These things were piled up together, and the room immediately shone with the brilliance of pearls and jewels.
Pushing aside a maid, Gan Li walked up and casually picked up a golden statue inlaid with jewels. "You're much wealthier than I imagined. Esteemed City Lord, not even an Imperial Great General might be as wealthy as you. Don't tell me you've been pocketing all the money allocated every year? "
The city lord's face turned ashen as he buried his head in the ground and said in a trembling voice, "There's no such thing, my lord.
”
"No?" Gansu used the tip of his foot to lift his chin and raised the golden statue in his hand. "Then what's going on with these?"
The mayor was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "These are Sir Gan Li's collection. He just entrusted them to me for safekeeping."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I will immediately pack it up for you."
Ganli laughed heartily and patted the poor City Lord's shoulder, "Looks like you can still sit on the City Lord's position for a long time."
"Thank you for your encouragement, my lord."
The City Lord made a gesture, and the butler behind him immediately got someone to take the table of treasures away and pack them up for Gan Li. Although the City Lord felt the pinch, it was better than offending this temperamental general.
When he sent Gan Li out of the residence, he casually asked, "When will Daren leave?"
"What? Is the City Lord trying to chase us away? "
"No, no, no. It is an unparalleled honor for Iron Tree City to have Sir visit. I would love nothing more than for you to stay a bit longer. "The city lord lied.
Gan Li smiled and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, we'll set off tomorrow. We probably won't see each other again."
The city lord's expression relaxed as he watched the general board the carriage and drive away. At this time, the butler came out, followed by a carriage full of jewels. He whispered to the mayor, "Sir, these things?"
"Nonsense, of course I have to send it over, and I have to do it quickly!" The City Lord was heartbroken, but the treasures that he had lost could be collected back. If he lost his life, then everything would be over. He could only wave his hand and ask the butler to send the things to the barracks.
Back at the barracks, Gan Li had just gotten out of the car when an officer ran over in a flustered and exasperated manner. "Sir, something has happened."
"What is it?" Ganley asked slowly. There's more? He kissed the pretty girl next to him.
The officer said solemnly, "Lord Mirion's army was completely annihilated. I'm afraid Lord Mirion has already died in battle!"
Gan Li's body stiffened and he pushed the woman away. "When did this happen?"
"Just now." The officer accompanied Ganley to the command center and said, "After Lord Mirion left, we've been in contact with his fleet. When Lord Mirion went to the mayor's mansion as a guest, Lord Mirion's fleet began to clash with the enemy. The entire process took less than two hours, and we lost contact with the fleet. "
They walked into the command center and went straight to the hall.
"We've sent out a reconnaissance plane. This is the image of the battlefield captured by the reconnaissance plane." The officer made a gesture, and an image appeared on the main screen in the hall. The image was taken from a high altitude, and one could see the wreckage of many airships, damaged chariots, and piles of corpses scattered on the plains.
One of the most shocking craters that occupied almost the entire image was the enemy's. It was obvious that the enemy had used some kind of weapon of mass destruction, or it was the work of their experts. There were many chariots and hundreds of corpses buried in this enormous crater.
Gan Li sat down in a daze. The officer continued beside him. "We searched carefully and finally found something according to the locator of Lord Mirion's spatial bracelet."
The image changed, and a charred arm appeared. Fragments of the Spatial Bracelet were scattered around the arm. No one knew what kind of attack Mirion had encountered that even the Spatial Bracelet was completely destroyed. The things stored inside would forever be lost in some subspace.
Holding his forehead, Ganli was silent for a moment before saying, "Make a detailed report of this matter and send it back to Demonic Ring City. At the same time, inform the officers at all levels that we will temporarily bide our time. "
"My Lord, do you mean that we won't leave tomorrow?
”
"Nonsense. Mirion is already dead. What are we going to do there? Are we just going to be slaughtered? His Majesty has never thought of fighting to the death with Mo Kedan. Our role is more to exert pressure. But now, it seems that if we go there, we will only be sending our heads to them. When the time comes, we will only become their bargaining chips on the negotiation table. Do you understand? Idiot! "
The officer obediently retreated.
Gan Li shook his head. He looked at the severed arm on the screen and let out a bitter laugh.
On the second day after the battle, in the main hall of Mokedan City's Lord Residence, Allen placed Endless Destruction on the table and said, "This thing's broken."
This sentence was like a heavy bomb that shocked the people in the hall for a long time in the early morning. If they hadn't been clear on the power of Endless Destruction before, Allen's battle with Mirion yesterday had allowed them to see it clearly.
An Imperial Great General, and the second-ranked Mirion at that, had fallen to the muzzle of Endless Destruction. With the deaths of experts like Bali and Mirion at Allen's hands, Allen's reputation had soared. Even old subordinates of the empire like Smoker and Zhuo De had no doubt that Allen had the potential to become supreme.
As long as he killed a few more Great Generals, Allen's prestige would be unshakable.
And with Endless Destruction in hand, wouldn't Imperial Great Generals just be vegetables delivered to his door? But now, Allen said that it was broken!
Lola turned the gun over and over in her hand, but she couldn't see through it. She handed it to Belmond and asked, "Where's it broken?"
"Endless Destruction needs to be replenished with Origin Energy every day. Thanks to it, I've been tempering my Origin Energy much more frequently than before. Last night, when I infused it with Origin Energy, I discovered that it didn't respond at all. Today, I'm even more certain that even the remaining Origin Energy in the gun itself has disappeared. " Allen rubbed his forehead. "Did I misinterpret the information before? Is this gun not only capable of using Void Shatter twice, but also useless after using it twice?"
Lola said, "That's impossible. The empire spent so much manpower and resources to create a killing weapon just to fire two shots?"
"I think so too, but it really isn't responding to my Origin Energy at all," Allen said.
Belmond said, "Didn't Young Master say that Endless Destruction can only be driven by the Origin Energy of the Heart of the Stars or the essence of life? Only when you discovered that it could absorb Origin Energy from the void could you use it?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then could it be that the Empire's engineers never thought that Endless Destruction could be driven by Void Origin Energy, so the parts inside this gun are incompatible with Void Origin Energy?"
Allen slapped his forehead and said, "I understand. You mean you used Void Origin Energy. Although Endless Destruction could be used, it broke because the parts inside didn't support it? It's possible. Unfortunately, there are no Imperial engineers here. It seems that we have to snatch a few engineers back in the future to see if we can modify this gun. "
"If it's an ordnance engineer, I think we can only go to Demon Ring City to snatch it, right?" Belmond looked at the others and said, "It doesn't sound like a simple job."
"It doesn't matter. There will always be a chance." Allen put the gun away in the Spatial Wristband. "That's good. Otherwise, if we rely too much on Endless Destruction, I don't know when we'll break through."
At this moment, Hubble pushed open the door and entered. Perhaps he didn't expect Lola, Belmond, and the others to be present in the hall. The Catus were stunned for a moment, and then they hesitated to speak. Hubble had always been careless, rarely so bashful. Allen asked curiously, "What's wrong? You're not looking for wine to drink in the morning, are you? "
Hubble waved his hand and said, "No."
"Then you want to chat with Liam?" Lola asked, holding back her laughter.
"Liam isn't here. Besides, she doesn't want to see me for the next two days." Suddenly, Hubble realized that he had leaked something and immediately glared at Lola.
"Then you are?"
"There's a question I want to ask you." Hubble pointed at Allen.
"Me?" Allen nodded. "Alright, ask away."
Hubble glanced at the people in the hall and snorted, "There are too many people here. It's inconvenient. Follow me."
Seeing him turn around and walk out of the hall, Allen spread out his hands and said, "This person has a really bad temper." Even so, he still followed Hubble out to hear what he wanted to ask him.
On the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion, Hubble sat down and crossed his arms over his chest. "I recently realized that I had reached a bottleneck. Now I know that after stepping into Level 30, it's a completely different world. In this world, the level of Origin Energy is already dispensable. What determines strength is the grade of Origin Energy. If I don't touch Void Origin Energy and can't control a type of Void Origin Energy, then I'll at best be stronger than someone below Level 30. This isn't what I want, and it's too far from my goal. "
Allen knew that this Catu had always wanted to take revenge on the Catu King, Wildhammer, who had destroyed his tribe. Hubble had also been working hard in this direction, but now it seemed that he had probably hit a wall in terms of Void Origin Energy. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't have lowered his posture to consult others.
'Thinking back to the first time we met, I was still able to fight you to a standstill. Now, not only have you mastered Void Origin Energy, you have also mastered a further level of power. Although I am unwilling, I have to admit that you are much stronger in this regard. " Hubble looked straight at Allen and said solemnly, "So I would like to ask you, what is Void Origin Energy? How exactly do I touch it and master it?"
