In the mountains at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it a fresh aura of the mountains and fields. Allen bit a grass core and sat on a grass slope. They had already gone deep into the mountains, and now the army had found an open highland to set up camp. If nothing unexpected happened, they would arrive at the cave that led to the underground base at noon tomorrow. About to meet his father again, Allen had mixed feelings. He knew that this time, his father's will had been instinctively suppressed, and even erased. Otherwise, he wouldn't have built the Blazing Flame Gate and transformed into a monarch.
The sound of footsteps rang out. Allen didn't need to turn around to think of Capullo's image in his mind.
Capullo walked to his side. Allen saw that he was wearing a fox fur cloak and smiled, "Marshal, don't you think it's hot?"
Capullo took off his cigar, shrugged his shoulders, and the fox fur cloak landed on his body. His uniform was tight, outlining the curves of the marshal's steel-like body. Unlike when he first came back, Capullo's body was now at its peak. He no longer needed to deliberately create an old man to make his enemies relax their vigilance. Apart from maintaining his fifty-year-old face, Capullo's body had returned to its best state during his prime. He stood there, without needing to speak or move, his entire body revealing its sharpness. If they didn't know Allen's identity, they would probably ignore Allen when they stood together with Capullo.
However, Capullo knew that he was indeed showing off his sharpness. However, Allen had already polished his aura smoothly. He was clearly a supreme being, but his aura was not revealed. If he wanted to, he could pretend to be an ordinary person. As strong as Capulo, it would be difficult for him to see through him.
"Your Highness is noble and self-respecting. Naturally, you don't know the difficulties of us people. If you don't make yourself look better, how can you get the people below to work for you? " Capullo stroked his mottled beard and said, "Sometimes, superiors need packaging."
Allen smiled and didn't answer.
Capullo said in a low voice, "I think Your Highness should know that although I was not involved in Vincent's plan, I also provided some information."
Allen bit the grass core and said, "Of course. If Vincent had no choice, he wouldn't have used a killing weapon like the Star Rail Cannon. The fact that the Light Concealment Society could operate until now was enough to show that he was a cautious person. A cautious person would definitely need to gather information on me before deciding to use this trump card. Then who is more suitable than you, Marshal Capullo, to provide Vincent with the information he needs? After all, only you have fought with me, so you should know more about my background. "
"But I still underestimated Your Highness. If I had known that Your Highness was a Paragon, I wouldn't have let Vincent do this."
"However, time only moves forward, so there is no such thing as' if 'in this world." Allen laughed, "On the other hand, Marshal Capullo, you took the initiative to admit that you helped Vincent, which makes me curious. Why did you do that?"
"Forty years ago, the Federation started Nirvana?" Capullo said somewhat irresponsibly. Plan. Our Golden Lion even attacked the Mechanical Star. Originally, we had hoped to destroy the Kidds' nest in one fell swoop, but in the end, we encountered the interference of the Demon King, causing all our efforts to fail. Back then, I fought the Demon King in the mechanical core, and only I knew the entire process of the battle. Everyone thought that I fought the Demon King in that battle and was even seriously injured. But that's not the case. "
This time, even Allen was a little curious.
'"Spenak was just letting me do it. I used all my killing moves, but I couldn't hurt a single hair on him. In fact, the Demon King even allowed me to recover my stamina. Otherwise, how could I have fought for three days and three nights? But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hurt him. I couldn't even see the true appearance of the Demon King. Spenak said at that time, I thought you were already the strongest human being, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. Then he let me leave the Mechanical Star, and he didn't even bother to kill me. "
Capullo's shoulders trembled slightly. This was something he had never mentioned to anyone before, but tonight he told Allen. Because he felt that only Allen was qualified to know about these things. Only Allen was qualified to comment on it. No one else was qualified to comment on the Berserk Lion.
"At that time, I was still young and didn't value power. I just wanted to reach the peak of power. In fact, I did it. There was no Windsor Bellow forty years ago. It was the era of the Berserk Lion. I thought I could support an era and the entire Federation. But Spenak himself told me one thing. There are mountains in this world that I can't climb. Spenak is one of them, and now, there are four mountains. "
He glanced at Allen and sighed, "Of course, there were only three mountains like you in that era." Not much, but enough to look down on all living beings. After returning from the chaotic battlefield, I retired for twenty years. In these twenty years, I've been trying to break through myself. In fact, I've done it. I'm much stronger than I was on the Mechanical Star. But even so, I can probably only give Spenak some insignificant injuries. "And don't forget, I will grow. Don't tell me the Demon King won't, and his speed will only be more terrifying than mine, right?"
"It took me twenty years to reach the Sovereign Realm, but I was still unable to reach the Sovereign Realm. So I knew that I would never be able to become a Sovereign in my life. I've seen Spenak and seen the scenery in the eyes of the Sovereign. I know that if I want to become a Sovereign, it's not enough to rely on hard work alone. I also need talent, and I need some kind of opportunity, but I don't have either. So my pursuit of strength gradually faded, and my desire for power grew hotter and hotter. "
"Since I can't leave my footprints at the peak of power, then at the very least, I want to leave a thick stroke in human history. So I changed my mind. I want to become the president of the Federation. Not Mobius, not that fake substitute. I want the Federation to embark on a path of strength that it has never had before. This is my long-cherished wish. "
Allen shook his head and said, "That's just your own ambition."
"That's right, but I don't regret what I've done over the years. Moreover, I do see hope." Capullo sighed heavily, "But you're here, rising to the fourth peak of the Forest of Strength. The Sword of Dawn's attack was fruitless, and I knew that everything was over. I can't climb to the peak of power, nor can I seize the highest position of power. In the end, I'm just an old man who's been left behind by time. "
Allen knew that Capullo was a little disheartened, which was why he sighed. He said, "Marshal, there is no limit to your pursuit. This path is not working. Why can't you change your perspective? In this life, the pursuit should be far more than just strength or power, right? "
"For example?"
"For example, in the twilight of the universe, it's not bad to work hard to let more compatriots live." Allen looked at the starry sky and said, "At least that's what I think. Even if I become a Sovereign, I still can't forget that I came from a planet called Earth." There were my compatriots on that planet, and since I had that little power, I wanted to help as many of my compatriots as possible out of the twilight. That's why I returned to Earth. That's why I stopped your civil war, because your war is meaningless when dusk falls. "
Capullo nodded, "Maybe you're right."
Of course, Allen wasn't naive enough to think that Capullo would change his mind so easily, but at the very least, he could plant a new seed in his heart. As for whether this seed could take root and sprout, Allen didn't care.
Suddenly, he stood up and his eyes became cold.
Capullo's entire body trembled as he felt the change in Allen's aura. That instant change made him, who was originally close at hand, suddenly become so far away. It was as if countless galaxies were lying between him and Allen.
That was the world where the Paragon lived.
Even an expert like Capullo was separated by a dimension!
There were more flickering dots of light in the starry sky, and then scattered sparks landed on the highlands where the army was. The soldiers on the highlands noticed this, but they didn't know what it was, let alone how to stop it. After all, there were so many sparks. Stars fell from the sky, accompanied by the night wind, and it was almost omnipresent.
Then, everyone heard a cold snort in their ears.
Then, as if they had encountered an invisible barrier, the sparks were all blocked outside the highlands. They could only float around in vain and then fall into the wilderness under the boundless night. On the grassy slope, the world in Allen's eyes suddenly expanded rapidly. The mountains in his eyes continued to fade away, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a man. He stood at the edge of a huge cave, and there were strange faces on the armor on his body. Countless sparks were spitting out from the mouths of these faces. As soon as his gaze met Allen's, he was shocked. His expression changed as he flashed into the cave. There seemed to be a strange force field protecting the cave, preventing Allen's gaze from penetrating it.
Allen withdrew his gaze and knew that fellow was the Flame of Misfortune.
Kelistan flew through the tunnel and suddenly staggered. Finally, he couldn't help but cough out a mouthful of blood that was covered in sparks. He smiled bitterly, "What a terrifying man. He was almost killed by him just by looking at him."
He had originally planned to borrow the evening wind to spread his flames of misfortune to the highlands, allowing the alliance army of the Federation and the Golden Lion to turn into a burning army. He didn't expect Allen to suppress his strength and almost kill him with just his gaze. Only now did he know why three great figures like the Firmament Flame had perished at Allen's hands.
This probing attack ended in Kelistan's complete defeat, but the Flame of Misfortune had never thought that his side would fail. Because in the underground base, not only were there 30,000 Flame Edge Warriors, but more importantly, there was also their king guarding them.
Dusk doesn't fall, dawn doesn't rise.
