"I'm just joking with you, Butler Thario." Allen did not intend to make things difficult for the butler, so he smiled.
Only then did the butler's expression soften. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Your Highness is really humorous."
"Show us around the house." Allen took the lead and walked towards the door, followed by Lola and the rest. Thario hurriedly followed along with a few stewards. They led the way and introduced the house from time to time.
It turned out that this building had a long history. It was the mansion of an imperial general a hundred years ago. That general was known as "Blood Red Wings", and the mansion he lived in was once known as "Blood Nest". During that period of time, the Blood Nest Mansion was known as the most terrifying place in Demonic Ring City, second only to the Shadow Fortress. When that general was still alive, he had built a blood pool in the basement. It was a real blood pool. Every day, thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls would be thrown into the blood pool for the general to kill. The blood pool was filled with the blood of these girls.
After that, in the war on the eastern front, Blood Red Wings was killed by the experts of Dobia, and the Blood Nest became vacant. After that, it changed hands several times. The previous owners could not stand the stench of blood in the blood pool, and the last owner sold it to the empire due to debt. The empire funded the renovation of the Blood Nest. Not only did they fill in the blood pool, they also changed the original structure of the building. Now, it was Lamo's own residence.
"So, Lord Lamo has vacated the house for us?"
Allen was a little surprised.
Thario nodded and said, "Lord Lamo was afraid that Your Highness would not be used to living in the Shadow Fortress, so he vacated his own residence. Also, this place is close to the city center, so it will be more convenient for Your Highness to visit Demonic Ring City. "
"Lord Lamo is very considerate."
After a simple tour, Thario led Allen and the rest to the dining hall, "Your Highness and the other lords have come from afar, so you must be hungry. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare the food, and I'll send it over right away. "
"Thank you, Mr. Thario," Allen said. "Before we eat, we have something to talk about."
"I won't disturb you then." Thario bowed and left the restaurant.
After Thario left, Allen pulled a chair and sat down. He relayed Lamer's little "reminder" on the way. Hubble plopped down on the floor. With his weight and the weight of his equipment, he was afraid that the exquisite chairs around the dining table wouldn't be able to withstand it. The Catus put the warhammer Dark Star aside and said, "Since His Majesty in Shadow Castle wants us to treat this as our back garden, it's simple. Whoever wants to deal with us, we'll just have to kill them.
”
Trisley rolled her eyes. "One track."
"What did you say, woman?" cried Hubble.
Trisley said, "Do you know who's going to harm us? His Majesty told us to treat this place as his backyard, but he didn't tell us to do as we please. Have you ever thought about how Master would explain it to Shadow Castle if you made the wrong target? "
Hubble smacked his lips and couldn't say a word to refute. He could only cross his arms and snort. "Anyway, I don't understand these complicated things. On our Barbarian Stone Star, if you don't like them, just fight them. You guys are so troublesome."
Allen smiled and said to the beautiful secretary beside him, "Miss Margo, tell me about the situation of the two empires first."
Margo cleared his throat and said, "At present, the Demonic Shadow Kingdom and Dobia are still at war. The war on the eastern front centered on Furnace City has stopped at the last moment. Although there is no sign of a truce between the two sides, both the Demonic Shadow Kingdom and Dobia have been withdrawing their troops this month. They should be preparing for the war in Adahua Planet. "
"Didn't Sbernak and Frius reach an agreement? Why is the eastern front still fighting? " Lola was a little puzzled. If it was explained that the Balts were belligerent, then this belligerent would be too big.
Margo whispered, "There is no necessary connection between the alliance of the two countries and the war. In fact, the war in Agares has never stopped for a moment. I have studied the history of war in Agares. There are many battles in history that are completely meaningless. If you have to give them a meaning, then their only meaning is consumption. "
"Consumption?" Allen said in a deep voice, "Miss Margo means that the two Sovereigns are silently pushing for this war of attrition?"
"I'm not sure about Black Emperor Frius, but I'm sure that His Majesty in the Shadow Fortress has such thoughts and will. Because at least eight out of ten of those wars that have no strategic significance are initiated by the Demonic Shadow Kingdom. " Margo said calmly, "Considering Agares' lack of resources and the unusually high fertility rate of our race, it's not surprising that His Majesty would do this. If it weren't for the war to consume some of its population, Agares would have been unable to hold on long ago. "
Allen nodded and said, "Looks like the eastern front is a meat grinder. Troops, experts, and even consumable things are thrown into the furnace. But in this way, it will stimulate the belligerence of the Balts even more. "
He shook his head. "Forget it, we are not scholars. We don't need to study the history of Agares. It's fine as long as we know the attitude of the two empires. I wish I had more territory and more population. There's nothing we can do, our scale is not up to par. "
"Miss Margo, based on your understanding of Demonic Ring City, analyze for me what potential enemies we have in this city."
Margo nodded and said, "Those who regard His Highness as an enemy and want to take His Highness's life must hate His Highness to the bone. Generally speaking, such people either died in the hands of His Highness, or even formed a blood feud, or the foundation of their interests was damaged, and it was damaged in the hands of His Highness. So to determine which of His Highness's potential enemies, we naturally have to start from these two aspects. "
Margo's analysis was clear and logical. Allen could not find anything to nitpick about, so he gestured for her to continue.
"I have collected detailed information about His Highness since he left the Forgotten Realm, including which well-known experts His Highness has killed and so on. So far, of the opponents His Highness has killed, there are only two people who are qualified to affect Demonic Ring City. I'm sure Your Highness already knows about this. "
Allen nodded. "One is Bali, the other is Miriam. Both of them are Imperial Great Generals. If anyone can affect Demonic Ring City, it is them. "
Margo did not immediately answer. Instead, she said something else, "After His Highness reached an agreement with the Demon Shadow Kingdom and Dobia, His Majesty Spenak included the provinces of Reis and Peti into His Highness's territory. This imperceptibly harmed the interests of some people. According to my investigations, these two provinces have always produced considerable profits for the Thunderwolf Clan. Now that they have suddenly lost two provinces, I think only the Thunderwolf Clan of the four oldest clans in Demonic Ring City will hate His Highness to the bone. "
"Most importantly, Miriam and Rupert, who died at His Highness's hands, are the pillars of this clan. Especially Miriam. Whether it is in terms of combat strength or reputation, he is an important factor in supporting the prestige of this ancient clan. Although Rupert cannot compare to his big brother, he has already come into contact with Void Origin Energy, and his potential is not small. Similarly, when Rupert also grasps Void Origin Energy, this clan will have two Imperial Great Generals. What an enormous fortune this is. "
Allen already had an idea. "In other words, not only did I kill two of the most promising talents of the Thunderwolf Clan, I also occupied two of their most profitable provinces. So if anyone in Demonic Ring City wants my life, the Thunderwolf Clan will definitely be at the top of the list. "
Margo nodded and said, "That's right, but I have to remind you. Your Highness, this is only my analysis. In fact, we do not have any substantial evidence. "
"By the time there was substantial evidence, the Thunderwolf Clan had already appeared in front of me." Allen said, "But I'm very curious. Even Miriam died at my hands. What other experts do they have?"
Margo said, "Looking at Agares, there are countless experts. Although there are very few Great Generals who can control Void Origin Energy, the empire is willing to offer a large amount of resources in exchange for the service of such experts. However, not everyone is willing to listen to the empire. Therefore, other than the ten Great Generals, there are also some super experts who can rival Great Generals active in other places. They may be members of an ancient clan, or they may have temporarily sold their combat strength for some reason. Perhaps the Thunderwolf Clan has found such a super mercenary. "
"That would be interesting." Allen said, "Since the Thunderwolf Clan is ranked first, it seems that we can only be a visiting guest. It's a good opportunity to give the others some advice so that we don't have to deal with some disgusting tricks while we stay in Demonic Ring City." In addition, His Majesty from the Dark Shadow Castle probably wants to see how we deal with it. We can't let him underestimate us, right? "
Allen's meaning was clear.
If Spenak had the intention to interfere, as long as he brought a message to the Thunderwolf Clan, no matter how much the clan hated Allen, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. However, Spenak did not do so. He only asked Lamer to hint that he could show off his skills. Then, His Majesty's intentions were obvious.
To put it simply, it was up to Allen to deal with it. Allen's reaction might be related to his position in the Alliance in the future. If one were to think deeper, God knows if Spenak had the idea of using Allen to suppress the Thunderwolf Clan.
On this point, only Spenak himself was clear.
There were four ancient clans in Demonic Ring City. These clans could all be traced back to a thousand years ago, and the bloodline of the clans was more or less related to Spenak. Therefore, these clans never lacked geniuses, nor did they lack experts to guard their clans. Take the Thunderwolf Clan for example. First, they produced an Imperial Great General, Miriam, and then his brother, Lubit, also came into contact with the Void Origin Energy.
