In terms of true strength, Baku couldn't even catch up to Caesar. However, Caesar had never thought that his brother, who could risk his life to block the saber and sword for him two years ago, would stab him with the blade tonight. Baku pulled out his saber and held it with both hands, about to stab it again. Caesar roared angrily as his Origin Energy surged and the crystal spear in his hand shot out like lightning.
Baku could only slash his saber horizontally at the tip of the spear. The Origin Energy of both sides collided fiercely on the tip of the spear. Baku was no match for him and his entire body flew backwards. Caesar also felt a wave of weakness. He couldn't hold the crystal spear steadily and let it fly out of his hand. Baku spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up with his saber in hand. Caesar glanced at him and took advantage of the chaos to leave with his injuries.
Before dawn, the battle was over. Under Legg's command, Storm City's army retreated in an orderly manner. The troops they left behind were very brave. They desperately pulled the Baymond warriors and prevented them from chasing after their team. In the end, the troops also died tragically.
In this battle, Storm City had left behind the corpses of more than two hundred soldiers, and the Baymonds had also paid the price of half of their warriors' sacrifices. In contrast, Allen's side was only injured and not killed. However, they did not participate in a head-on confrontation with Storm City, and secondly, the soldiers were well-equipped. This result was within Allen's expectations.
The only thing that surprised him was Caesar's death. When Baku raised Caesar's crystal spear and announced that the leader had been killed by Storm City's army, Allen even doubted his ears. After that, the Baymonds searched for Caesar's corpse, but the results left Allen with more questions.
However, Allen did not ask Baku, who was extremely hostile. He only left silently with his men.
After returning to the Ash Mountain Range stronghold, Edward and Belmore secretly arrived at Sur City. Because Baron York had died in battle, Ethan, who was related to him by blood, officially inherited his title and power the day after the Baron's corpse was buried with the support of the empire's constitution. However, this was not enough for Ethan to stabilize his position as City Lord. He still needed to make more political achievements or contributions to ensure that this position would last until he was old.
Otherwise, the empire could appoint someone else to become the master of Sur City. Of course, the premise was that the Bailey Empire would pay attention to the border.
After Ethan became the new baron, Edward quietly met him, and then Baron Ethan had an additional Belmore by his side. He would stay to protect Ethan through a turbulent period of transition between the old and the new. Sure enough, in the next few days, there were two attacks on Ethan in the City Lord's Mansion, both of which were successfully stopped by Belmore.
He was originally a master of assassination, and in Sur City, no one had better assassination skills than Belmore. Naturally, those small tricks could not escape the eyes of this dark master. With his protection, Ethan was very safe. At the same time, through Belmord, Ethan realized for the first time the strength of Edward and Young Master Allen behind him.
Ethan knew very well that since Belmore could protect him. If necessary, he could kill him without batting an eyelid. Very quickly, the identity documents of Allen and the others were approved. Including Allen, they all had legal identities in Sur City. The imperial seal on the identity card was enough to allow Allen and the others to travel unimpeded within the borders of the Bailey Empire.
After receiving this news, Allen and the others began to pack their things and prepare to officially enter Sur City. They camouflaged the starship and left two soldiers to guard it. As for the others, including the logistics team, they were all taken away by Allen. They could play other roles in Sur City. In order to show his importance, Ethan also sent a few carriages for Allen and the others to use. Allen was also happy to hide some things that were incompatible with this world, such as magic energy armor and fire fighting rifles, in the carriage.
The soldiers took off the armor and weapons of the Blazing Battle Soldiers and changed into the clothes and swords that Edward had brought, pretending to be the guards of the caravan. When the convoy left, Allen looked in the direction of the Ash Mountain Range. He had finally completed the first step in establishing himself in the new world.
Baku slid down from the crown of an old tree and watched the convoy leave. Under the tree, a dozen or so Baymond warriors also witnessed everything that had happened at the foot of the mountain. Baku pointed with Caesar's crystal spear and said, "See? I told you these people were colluding with Sur City. Look, they're in Sur City's carriage. Caesar's death must have something to do with them! "
A Baymond warrior said in a deep voice, "Now that Caesar has died in battle, please lead us, Baku. We want to avenge Caesar! "
"Yes, Caesar's revenge can't be forgotten just like that. But my brother, we alone can't do anything to those people. No, even if we gather the strength of others, we won't be able to do it. Unless … "Baku said in a deep voice," Unless I enter the tomb of my ancestors and release the demons! "
The warriors looked at me and I looked at you. The warrior from before gritted his teeth and said, "We support you, Baku. Let the Abyss Devils destroy that city! "
Baku gripped the crystal spear tightly and said, "Go gather everyone. We need to talk to Vajra."
The carriage was shaking, and it was really worrying whether it would fall apart in the next moment. Before there was a vehicle like a car, there was naturally no such thing as a shockproof system. As a result, driving on a bumpy road was definitely not a comfortable journey.
"Perhaps we can build the world's first car." Allen leaned on the window frame of the carriage and said, "This thing is going to throw me out."
Edward, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Then you have to get in touch with Earth first and get the exact coordinates of the planet. Then you can pull the relevant talents and resources over. At that time, not to mention cars, you can even build airships. In that case, we'll be able to expand much faster. "
"That's not impossible. However, judging from the current military power of this planet, not to mention airships. As long as we can build war chariots and tanks, we can completely change the pattern of war on this planet. " Allen said, "But right now, I think we should build an arsenal in Sur City. That way, we can produce standard guns and ammunition first. It's much easier than war chariots."
"We're lucky. This is the border of the empire. At least, it won't attract too much attention. "Edward said.
"Speaking of the empire …" Allen said in a deep voice, "You've been to many planets. Have you seen any humans other than Earth?"
Edward shook his head.
"So I find it strange that there are humans on this planet, and their civilization is very similar to ours." Allen looked out of the window at the world. "I always felt that there was some kind of secret on this planet. Some huge secret! "
"Even if there is, we have to wait until we are strong enough before we have the qualifications to explore it." Edward said, "Compared to the unknown secret, I think your arsenal is more of a headache. Don't forget, the productivity of this world is still at the level of a handicraft workshop. I bet they don't even know what a processing machine is. I really wonder how you're going to build your arsenal. "
Allen laughed and said, "Everything depends on human effort, and don't you think we don't need to do all the work? Don't forget the humans on this planet. There must be some intelligent people among them. They only lack a little inspiration, a little spark of civilization. I think we should start the fire in Sur City. "
"I just hope I don't burn this world down." Edward said.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and Allen asked, "What's going on?"
The soldier outside the window replied, "It's people, Young Master. Someone is lying in the middle of the road. "
Allen jumped out of the carriage, and a soldier had already stepped forward. In front of the carriage, there was a person lying on the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Allen walked forward. When the soldier turned the man over, Allen was stunned and cried out, "Caesar?"
This person was Caesar, who had been missing for many days. Hearing Allen's voice, he barely opened his eyes. His dry and blistered lips moved, but he quickly closed his eyes. Allen saw that there were wounds on his body. There were some leaves stuck to the wounds, which looked like some kind of herb. But that couldn't cure Caesar's injuries. Allen hurriedly stepped forward and touched his body. Caesar's body temperature was frighteningly high.
He hurriedly asked the soldiers to move Caesar to the shade of a tree by the side of the road and called Father Miro over. The priest didn't rush over. With his imperfect medical skills, he couldn't deal with Caesar's wounds at all. He could only do a check-up and take out a first aid needle from the medical kit that Allen and the others had brought with them and give it to Caesar. Then he said, "We have to send him to the city. This kind of injury can't be dealt with here."
Allen nodded and asked the soldiers to put Caesar in the carriage. Looking at Caesar, Edward frowned and said, "Why is he here?"
"I guess we'll only know when he wakes up." Allen said.
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at Sur City. Singing and dancing in Sur City, Edward said, "Our new City Lord knows how to buy people's hearts. Hey, he has halved the taxes in Sur City. Everyone in the city supports him now. Even if there are some who have objections, they don't dare to do anything under such a general trend. Otherwise, they will arouse public anger. "
At a crossroads, Edward got out of the carriage and said, "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion first. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to have dinner with Sir Ethan tonight."
"Say hello to the baron for me." Allen smiled.
Edward nodded and went.
The convoy finally stopped in front of a large mansion. This could be said to be the wealthy area of Sur City. Although it was only a two-story building, it covered a large area and even had a small square. The house originally belonged to a big businessman in the city. Later, the businessman's business went bankrupt and he mortgaged the house, which fell into the hands of Baron York. Now it was naturally Ethan's property. Ethan had already had the house cleaned in advance and arranged for a few servants for Allen and the others to order around.
Allen jumped out of the car, and Lucy and Adele walked over. He pointed at the house and said, "Look, this is our home from now on."
