"Mr. Taryn, did I hear you correctly? Are you going to persuade me to deal with that Isengard?"
In the command hall of the Stormwind Stronghold, this hall used to be a gathering place for giants. The hall covered an area of more than 500 square meters and was nearly 50 meters tall. Standing in such an empty space, people looked so small. Giant pillars that required ten people to hug each other propped up the dome. The upper part of the pillars was carved into the image of the Grai Giants by the craftsmen among the giants. The stone giants raised their hands and arched their backs against the dome, as if the hall was supported by six giants. Although there were very few decorations in the hall, there was an ancient feeling of epic.
Now that a lot of equipment had been moved into the hall, Dobia's army had arranged it into a command hall with full control of the entire stronghold battlefield.
Taryn stood on a stone step and looked up at Narius, who was on the high platform on the stone step. There was an incomparably large stone throne here. It was originally meant for the most powerful giants who had gathered in the city in the past, but now it was Narius who was sitting on it. However, for Narius, the throne was clearly too wide and too big. It was almost like a bed. He sat on it with a sense of emptiness that could not be filled. It looked a little funny.
Of course, Taryn wouldn't laugh. Besides, it was unwise to make fun of a stronghold commander. As long as one wasn't stupid, one could imagine how unwise it was to make fun of a stronghold commander.
Narius stood up, his braided beard swaying with his movements. The commander sneered, "This Isengard came to see me with General Philly's token. Obviously, he has a special relationship with General Philly. Not to mention me, even if it's you, I advise you not to act recklessly. Isn't one Zaku enough to teach you a lesson? "
Taryn said respectfully, "General, if you listen to me, you might change your mind."
"Oh, then I'd like to hear what you can say to change my mind."
Taryn walked up to the platform and whispered in Narius's ear. After Taryn finished speaking, the commander was shocked, "Is what you said true?"
"Absolutely."
Narius paced back and forth on the platform, looking particularly hesitant. "General, if you get that thing, it will be a great contribution to you," Taryn said. "At that time, I only hope that the general can give me a share."
"Are you sure?" Narius stopped and spun around like a whirlwind. He pointed at Taryn and shouted, "If you dare fool me, Taryn, you know what the consequences will be!"
Taryn immediately knelt down. "General, I would never lie to you about this. Please believe me. If we don't make a move while he's still in the stronghold, I'm afraid we won't have another chance when he goes out to battle. "
Narlius muttered, "The Heart of the Stars. If it really is the Heart of the Stars, it would be a great contribution. Alright, now let's go visit Mr. Isengard. "
Taryn was overjoyed to hear this.
Carrying the lunch, Millena went into the main hall and set it down on a long table on one side. Then, he walked to the door and looked at the small courtyard outside the building. The courtyard had clearly been rearranged. There were some stone tables and chairs, two trees, and some flowers and plants. It was like a completely different world from the rest of the fortress. A courtyard like this was already the best of the accommodations provided by Dobia. Even if such a courtyard wasn't worth much in the two empires of Agares, considering that it was on a planetary battlefield and in a stronghold, its price would skyrocket.
Being able to live in such a courtyard was a symbol of status and proof of strength.
Looking at the figure standing in the courtyard, Millena's eyes were filled with fascination. Even though she had been serving Allen for a month, she still didn't know who this man was. There was only one thing she was certain of. He was very strong, and that was enough for a woman.
Allen had been standing there for more than an hour, and Millena walked over to tell him that lunch was ready. Unexpectedly, when she was just a few meters away from Allen. Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the air, and then Millena's left sleeve split open. A thin red line appeared on the skin inside before it split open, and a few streaks of blood flowed down.
"Don't come over." Allen said softly. He then took a deep breath and turned around with a frown. "I think I just said not to disturb me. How is the wound? Is it serious? "
Millena shook her head and hung her head. "I just wanted to tell you that lunch is ready, my lord."
"I understand. Let's eat together," Allen said casually.
The woman raised her head, her eyes shining. This was the first time Allen had invited her to eat together. Unfortunately, there were footsteps at this moment. Allen frowned and looked back. The black iron gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and two guards retreated, glancing at Allen with an awkward expression. Allen turned around and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Apologies, my lord. It's General Narius … "One of the guards said awkwardly.
"Narius?"
Allen waved his hand, and the two guards retreated to the side. Following that, Narius and Taryn strode into the courtyard. Behind them was a group of soldiers in shiny armor. Narius looked at Allen and said indifferently, "Are you satisfied with this place, Mr. Isengard?"
Allen's gaze swept past Taryn and he had a vague idea of what was going on. Without revealing his emotions, he put his hands behind his back and shifted his gaze to Narius. "General, are you here to have lunch with me?"
"I believe you wish to ask Mr. Isengard to hand over something to me. Give it to me, and I'll host a banquet for Mr. Isengard tonight. I'll also give you enough military merits. What do you think of this suggestion, Mr. Isengard? "
Allen laughed. "That depends on what the General wants me to hand over."
"The Heart of Stars." Narius was rather straightforward as he said, "Mr. Taryn told me that in the last battle, you obtained a Heart of Stars from the enemy. It's useless in your hands, so why don't you give it to me? I'll exchange it for enough military merits. "
Allen looked at Taryn and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to ask Mr. Taryn, why are you so sure that I have a Heart of Stars?"
"You don't have to deny it." Taryn said flatly, "The last time you went to battle, you were thousands of kilometers away from the fortress battlefield, but unfortunately, someone of mine happened to appear in the area when you were seizing the Heart of Stars. He had already recorded the entire process, and the information is now in General Narius's hands. If you know what's good for you, you should hand over the Heart of Stars now. Don't waste General Narius's time. "
Narius gave Taryn a displeased look and said, "I'll handle this matter. Mr. Taryn, please watch your words."
Even though Narius wanted the Heart of Stars, he wasn't willing to offend Allen. Especially since the Isengard he was impersonating was able to snatch the Heart of Stars from the Burning Legion. This strength was enough to make him act cautiously. Moreover, Allen still had Fili's keepsake. But now, Taryn was using words to drag him into this mess, which made Narius unhappy.
Allen saw this and instantly understood the subtle thoughts between the two. Finding it funny, he said, "That's right, I did snatch something from the Burning Legion. It's definitely not some Heart of Stars. General, please return. You're busy with the military, so there's no need to waste your time on me. "
Narius narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Isengard, aren't you looking down on me if you want to send me away with just a few words?"
Allen's expression darkened. "If I say I don't have it, then I don't have it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fili."
"General Fili probably doesn't have the time to accept my consultation."
Narius's voice became heavier. "Mr. Isengard, I respect everything you've done for the fortress. But the Heart of Stars is a strategic resource of the empire, so it can't fall into your hands. If you don't plan on handing it over, I don't think even General Fili can protect you. "
"So you think I need Fili's protection?" Allen shook his head and laughed. "General, there are some things you don't know, or rather, you don't have the authority to do so. I advise you to stop here, or else you probably won't be able to bear the consequences. "
"Is that so?" Narius took a step forward, his aura surging. "Then I'd like to give it a try."
A sneer suffused Allen's face as he thought to himself that Narius was truly crazy. It seemed like this trip to Planet Misil was coming to an end today. Allen naturally wouldn't hand over the Mutated Core, so there was only one choice left.
But at this moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.
Thick clouds gathered in the sky, just like in the past. Following that, even Narius felt something was amiss. The general also looked up at the sky, leaving Taryn and the others in a daze. Following that, there was a faint whistling sound in the sky as the thick clouds in the sky were dyed red. It was as though a painter had used an oil brush in his hand to fill the grayish-white clouds with a smear of vermilion. A red halo spread out as though the sky was burning.
The whistling sound grew until the entire stronghold could hear the shocking whistling sound. Moments later, a ball of flames drilled out of the clouds. Something fell from the flames. It was actually the entire burning mountain top!
It was unknown which unlucky mountain peak it had broken off from. Wrapped in raging flames, it broke through the clouds and let out a terrifying low rumble. It pulled out a magnificent river of flames and threw it towards the Tempest Stronghold.
Narius didn't hold back any longer. Origin Energy erupted as the general soared into the sky and punched the burning mountain. With a punch, a loud thunderclap resounded in the sky. Dark ribbons of light swept in all directions, revealing Narius' astonishing strength.
