"Nice to see you again, friend of the Baymonds!"
In the stronghold, when Allen and the others were brought to the plaza by the Baymond warriors, they led Caesar to welcome them with open arms. After hugging Allen warmly, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You came at the right time. In order to discuss how to deal with the people of Sur City, the leaders of the other strongholds will come tonight."
"Then we really came at the right time, Caesar. I came here to remind you that the Sur City Alliance Army is about to attack." Allen said without hesitation, "We have some business dealings with the merchants of Sur City. My men came back tonight and told me that the army of Sur City has begun to mobilize."
Caesar's face darkened and he said, "The Baymonds will not leave the Ash Mountain Range. This is our home. So we are ready to fight! "
Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have a temporary stronghold on the mountain where our important goods are parked. In order to avoid being robbed by the army of Sur City, please allow us to join this war. "
Caesar's face lit up when he heard this. Allen and the others were all rare experts. With their help, this battle would be much easier to fight. Just as Caesar was about to nod, Baku suddenly jumped out and said, "The Baymonds don't need outsiders' help!"
"Baku!" Caesar's crystal spear paused and shouted.
Baku looked at Allen and the others and turned to leave.
Caesar shook his head. "Please forgive him."
He added, "I'll have someone take you down to rest first. We'll talk about it tonight."
After arranging for Allen and the others, Caesar returned to his wooden house. He pushed the door open and saw Baku standing by the window. He looked down at the room where Allen and the others were resting. Hearing Caesar come in, Baku said, "They might be spies from Sur City, Caesar. I saw them with my own eyes dealing with the people in those cities. We can't trust them."
"Baku, this matter is not up to you, nor will it be up to me. Tonight, I will raise this matter. If the other leaders feel that there is no problem, they will be allowed to participate. "Caesar said.
Only then did Baku give up. He paused for a moment and said, "Caesar, we can't be so passive. Even if they were repelled this time, those fellows would not give up. We should go to the cemetery of our ancestors, release the Abyss Devils, and completely destroy Sur City in order to eliminate all future troubles! "
Caesar was shocked and cried out involuntarily, "Are you crazy? Baku, anger has made you irrational. Have you forgotten that the graveyard of your ancestors was built so that the devil would never have a chance to come out? Besides, can you control a demon? "
"How will we know if we don't try? For the sake of the Baymonds, I am willing to sacrifice myself! "Baku stepped forward and said.
"Enough!" Caesar said loudly, "I will never agree. Moreover, you are not doing this for the Baymond people. Baku, you just want revenge. I'm warning you, I can forgive you for anything you do, except this. If you dare to release the demons, I will definitely kill you, Baku. "
"I'm serious!"
Baku left angrily.
That night, a strong bonfire was lit in the square of the stronghold. The men and women of the Baymond people danced around the fire and chanted ancient war songs. Amidst the desolate and distant singing, the leaders of the other Baymond strongholds entered the plaza one by one. They wore cloaks woven from animal skins and feathers, and their heads and chests were painted with ancient and mysterious patterns.
Allen looked at them from afar. Under the light of the flames, he could clearly see that these leaders had a strong Origin Energy glow on their bodies.
Caesar raised his crystal spear high.
The war song and dance stopped at the same time, and the square turned extremely quiet like a noise. The switch between the two was as fast as a miracle.
"Welcome, my brothers and sisters. Right now, the Baymonds living in the Ash Mountains are facing the last crisis, so I have no choice but to invite you over. In Sur City, not far from us, they are gathering an army. As far as I know, there are at least five hundred people in this army, and they will attack soon! " Caesar shouted, "So I beg you, brothers and sisters, it's time for the Baymonds to stand up and resist. The Ash Mountains are our home. Are you willing to leave your home? "
The leaders looked at me and I looked at you. One of the exceptionally strong and mighty native leaders stood up and said, "Caesar, is your information accurate?"
"Speaking of which, let me introduce you to someone." Caesar pointed his spear at Allen and said, "This is Allen. He is a businessman, an adventurer and an outstanding warrior. He was the one who brought me this news. And our clan's Baku can testify. "
Baku walked out and nodded, "Yes, the people of Sur City are ready to attack. Great leaders, not only do they want to attack us, they even want to destroy us. So I suggest that we go to the graveyard of our ancestors and release the demons to destroy them! "
Caesar's expression changed. He didn't expect Baku to make such a request in front of the leaders of the various races. He said angrily, "Baku, what are you talking about?"
"I'm very clear!" Baku pointed at Allen and said, "You would rather believe an outsider who has dealings with Sur City than listen to my advice. Caesar, my once best brother and friend, whose heart has been deceived now?! "
Baku shouted, "I went to Sur City before the arrival of the leaders. That's right, I was reckless and underestimated my enemy. I was taken down by the people of Sur City and thrown into prison, where they didn't treat me as a human at all. They only treat me as a slave, yes. And so is this so-called friend of Caesar's. I heard softly that he saved me from prison by buying and selling slaves! "
The Baymonds immediately burst into an uproar, and even anger appeared on the faces of the leaders.
Allen secretly shook his head.
Caesar jumped down and pointed at Baku with the tip of his spear. "Shut up, what are you doing?"
"I'm saying the right thing." Baku replied.
"Go down and leave immediately! I'm so stupid. How could I let you stay here! "Caesar said angrily.
The fierce-looking headman said, "No, Caesar. I think Baku should stay. Compared to those outsiders, I believe in my Baymonds brothers more. "
"Valiant Vajra, you don't know the reason at all." Caesar said.
The leader named Vajra glared and said, "Then let's listen to Baku. I think we'll figure it out!"
Caesar looked at Allen helplessly and apologetically. The latter shook his head to show that he didn't mind. It was beyond Allen's expectations that things would develop to this point. From the looks of it, there was no cooperation between them and the Baymonds. He gestured to William and the other two, and the three of them quietly left.
After leaving the stronghold, Welik said, "That birdman named Baku, if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have saved him. Look at him, I wish I could punch him to death. "
"Unless you want to be enemies with all the Baymonds, don't do that." Allen shook his head and smiled, "I originally wanted to borrow the strength of their natives, but it seems that it won't work. Let's go back and make other arrangements. "
Returning to the camp, even though it was already late at night, Allen still called over a few of the more important people and told them about the situation in the Baymonds. Then he said, "Cooperation with the Baymonds is no longer possible. We can only do it ourselves. If you have any suggestions, feel free to make them. "
Edward revealed an expression of hesitation.
Allen saw it and said, "Say what you want to say."
"I think it's better to forget it. You probably won't agree. Edward smiled.
Welik frowned and said, "Don't keep me guessing. That's why I hate smart guys the most."
Edward accepted it and said, "That's the best compliment for me. Well, the simplest way is to provide Caesar's stronghold to the Alliance Army in Sur City. It's not difficult. I think Jim can easily spread the news, and I can do it through Ethan. If Sur City attacks Caesar's stronghold directly, the two of them will definitely fight each other. At that time, we can fish in troubled waters. "
After saying that, he looked at Allen.
Allen smiled and said, "Don't look at me so pedantic. In fact, I can't think of a better way than this." After all, we are invaders to this planet. All life on this planet is our enemy. There is no psychological obstacle for me to use the enemy to achieve my goal. But now our situation is a little special. The life on this planet is human like us, but they don't realize that we are actually invaders. "
"Moreover, the leader of the stronghold is Caesar, not Baku. If it was Baku, I could make the decision now. But Caesar, he does treat us as friends. " Allen sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't betray someone who treats me as a friend."
Of the few of them, Lucy and the others had been with Allen the longest and knew his personality very well. As long as he considered himself a friend, he would not give up or betray him. That was his principle. As for the others who had just joined, Belmond had a smile on his face, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking. Roy's expression changed, as if he was touched. The two brothers, Tang Ji and Tang Mo, had solemn expressions on their faces and didn't say anything. Edward, on the other hand, had an expression of "I knew it would be like this". He nodded and said, "So I only offer some suggestions. As for how to choose, it's up to you to decide. Apart from this method, I have another suggestion. "
"Let me guess." Allen said, "Since we can't play Caesar, let us scout and tell Caesar the location of the Sur City army. Let them take the initiative to attack."
"Who tells me what's the difference?" Welik said with a confused expression.
Edward smiled faintly and said, "There's a difference between taking the initiative and being attacked passively. Since you've already thought of it, I don't need to say anything else. I just hope that your friend will believe our information. "
