"Then let's get straight to the point. Why is Lord Jomo waiting for me here?" Allen looked at Jomo with an ice-cold gaze.
Qiao Mo shivered and suppressed the idea of retreating. This was a chance for him to perform. He believed that many people had guessed Julian's intentions, but no one was willing to stand up for Julian to test Allen. This was because they all knew that the current Allen was no longer a character that could be casually manipulated. Don't look at Roderick blowing his beard and glaring at Allen in the study, but Roderick really didn't want him to stand up and face Allen. That old man was very shrewd. Jomo was willing to do this in order to perform in front of Julian. To him, this was an opportunity to please the new emperor. Moreover, he had done even dirtier work than this. In addition, he had already made arrangements, so he still had some confidence.
The old fox immediately put on a smile and said, "Then I won't be afraid to say it directly. Lord Allen, I would like to invite you back. Look, don't enter the capital. "
Allen's face darkened on the spot, and the atmosphere became solemn. The surrounding soldiers were at a loss. The captain gestured for them not to act rashly. Then he heard Allen slowly say, "Is this Julian's idea?"
”
"No, that's what I mean." Qiao Mo was still smiling, but his smile was as forced as it could be.
"Oh, then I'm curious. What right does Lord Jomo have to stop a marquis from entering the capital? Besides, is it a hindrance to me to go to the capital? Why are you stopping me? "
"This is for the sake of Marquis Allen." Jomo laughed dryly, "The Marquis has been missing for many days. He suddenly returned and solved the siege of Spear City in one fell swoop. This was originally a good thing, but the power displayed by the Marquis had already caused many people to tremble in fear. If they were to find out that the Marquis had entered the capital, they would probably let their imaginations run wild.
I'm afraid that some muddle-headed fellows will do something to the Marquis that they shouldn't do. That will be a problem for both His Majesty and the Marquis. "
"Furthermore, if the Marquis has anything to discuss with His Majesty, I can pass the message on his behalf. Furthermore, it's not appropriate for the Marquis to enter the capital without being summoned by His Majesty. What does the Marquis think? "
Allen laughed, causing Qiao Mo to break out in cold sweat. After laughing, he spat out two words, "Bullsh * t!"
"I'm here on behalf of the Empire. You, Jomo, want to stop me and ruin things. Can a small army commander like you bear the responsibility? Who was imagining things? Who was imagining things? Instead of worrying about foreign enemies, you're starting to suspect your own people. If Tangerio the Great was here, I don't think this kind of thing would have happened. "
"Also, if anyone wants to do something to me that they shouldn't, just let them do it. I guarantee that whoever dares to do so will not be able to see the sun the next day! "
Allen stared at Jomo and said, "As for you, Jomo. I'm very curious. If I don't leave, how are you going to stop me from entering the Imperial Capital? Is it you, or is it that sneaky fellow hiding in the back? "
A cold snort sounded from behind the city gate.
Then a woman with an umbrella walked out. At first glance, she looked like a noble lady in the imperial capital. Both her figure and appearance were impeccable. If one had to say it, it would be that her body was suffused with a strong murderous aura that made people unwilling to approach her.
Allen nodded. "Empress Scorpion Becatello? So this is your trump card, Jomo. It's a joke. Now I'll give you two choices. One is to get out of my way immediately, as far away as you can. The second is for me to take you with me to Julian and explain things to him.
”
Jomo piled back step by step, revealing a sinister smile. "What if I don't choose either?"
”
I've already picked the second one for you. "Allen said in a deep voice," Celine, if that scorpion dares to move, kill her. "
Celine knelt down and revealed a charming smile. "Yes, Your Highness."
"Belmore, please come with us, Lord Jomo."
Jomo's expression changed as he roared, "Becatello, what are you waiting for? Do it! "
The Empress Scorpion looked at Jomo coldly and said, "I just took your money. That doesn't mean you can order me around."
Although she said that, she put away her lace umbrella. Celine stood up and walked towards Becatello with a smile. She walked seductively and suddenly raised her hand. A flaming whip appeared in her hand and she whipped it at the Empress Scorpion.
Becatello's pupils constricted as she pointed the umbrella in her hand and let out a sharp whistle.
Celine chuckled and the flaming whip in her hand turned into circles of ripples that landed on the Empress Scorpion's umbrella. The flaming whip retracted and whipped away Becatello's umbrella. The Empress Scorpion's chest heaved up and down. Although it was only a probing attack, the other party was able to snatch her umbrella so easily. It was obvious that this seductive woman was very strong.
Becatello retreated. "I don't care about this anymore."
Jomo's expression finally changed. "What did you say? You took my money! "
"But you only said to let me deal with one Saint level expert. You didn't say to deal with four or five at the same time!" The Empress Scorpion snorted coldly. "If I knew that the water was so muddy, I wouldn't have come even if you gave me a mountain of gold. What nonsense are you talking about now? Our contract ends here. "
Then she turned and left without looking back.
Celine looked at Allen, who shook his head. It wasn't worth it to argue with Becatello. Belmond quietly appeared behind Jomo and said softly, "Lord Jomo, please."
Jomo felt that the other party's aura was divided into several small strands that vaguely pierced his back. If he made any strange movements, those strands of aura would break through his body.
Immediately, Jomo didn't even dare to say a word.
Allen asked the guards to send a carriage over and chased Jomo into it. The carriage drove towards the imperial capital.
Even after experiencing a series of changes and storms, the imperial capital, Oliska, was still so majestic and magnificent. From afar, one could see the Twilight Castle Imperial Palace. The palace that was bathed in sunlight still hadn't changed much. This reminded Allen of the scene when he first arrived at the imperial capital. Unfortunately, the heroic man in the palace was no longer there. As for Julian, he was too cautious and too incompetent. If Tangerio was still here and gave Julian more opportunities to sharpen his skills, he would probably be more competent as a king than he was now.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.
Of course, Allen knew that Jomo said it had nothing to do with Julian. But in reality, if this black fox dared to do so, it must have obtained Julian's approval. He knew very well that Julian was afraid of him, so he arranged for Jomo to test his attitude. Knowing that, Allen didn't have to act according to Julian's script. He wasn't even in the mood to take care of the young emperor's feelings.
He only brought a few people to see Urian instead of directly leading the army north. This was already giving Urian enough face out of consideration for their old friendship.
As expected, the carriage was stopped in front of the imperial city gate. An unfamiliar general invited Allen and the others to Dawn Castle with him, saying that Julian had already learned of their arrival and was preparing to meet them in the palace. Jomo chose to remain silent along the way. He lowered his head and didn\'t let Allen see his expression. Allen didn\'t care. When they arrived in front of the Twilight Castle Imperial Palace, he led everyone out of the carriage and walked into the main hall of the Triumphant Palace under the general\'s lead.
In the past, Tangerio had honored him here, but today, the hall was filled with officials on both sides. Apart from the Prime Minister nodding at him to express his goodwill, everyone else was faintly hostile. Especially Roderick, who didn\'t even look him in the eye. As for Julian, who was on the throne, when he saw Allen enter the hall, he stood up with a smile and came to Allen to hug him tightly.
After hugging, the two of them separated. Julian smiled and said, "Marquis Allen, you\'re finally back."
Allen smiled and looked at Jomo. "Someone doesn\'t want me to come back."
"Who?" Julian asked, knowing the answer.
Allen patted Jomo on the shoulder and said, "You have to ask Lord Jomo. Not only did he want to stop me at the New Great Wall, but he also specially brought Empress Scorpion Becatello with him. Unfortunately, Lord Jomo made a few mistakes and could only make a mess. Am I right, Lord Jomo? "
Jomo could only smile.
Julian said angrily, "Jomo, is that true? How can you do this? Marquis Allen is my best friend. It\'s all thanks to Marquis Allen that I\'m able to sit on the throne in this palace today. Although it\'s not appropriate to go to the north without being summoned, a marquis can be an exception. "
Jomo knew that he had suffered and could only kneel down. "I was wrong, Your Majesty. Please punish me."
"Of course I have to punish you, and I have to punish you severely. Scram now, I don\'t want to see you. "
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."
Jomo immediately took his leave, and Julian put on a smile again and said, "Come, Marquis Allen. No, you solved the siege of Spear City and made the Southern Territory safe and sound. I was planning to make you a duke. In the future, there will be five Grand Dukes in the Bailey Empire, and you are the only Grand Duke of the South! "
Allen thought that it was as Edward had expected. Julian had failed to knock him down, so he hurriedly gave him some benefits to appease him. He immediately thanked him seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I went north without Your Majesty\'s permission. There is something important."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Does Your Majesty still remember that monster army?" Allen said, "That army is called the Burning Legion. It is an army that hates living beings and destroys everything." Although they have withdrawn from the border, if they are ignored, they will soon return. Moreover, I learned that the army is heading to the Duchy of Shadows. I\'m afraid they will use the Duchy of Shadows for themselves. Therefore, the most important thing now is to ask Your Majesty to agree to my army going north. Your Majesty should also gather troops and send troops to the Shadow Duchy together. "
