After the battle ended, the city guards cleaned up the battlefield. After Baku's second mutation, the Anthem of Destruction caused it to self-destruct. Ninety percent of his body had already exploded into ashes, and there was almost no need to clean up the remaining fragments. Even if they were thrown into the wilderness, scavenging beasts would dig them clean in less than a day.
That night, the city guards suffered heavy losses. More than twenty soldiers died in battle, more than a dozen were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less injured. Even Allen had lost a Blazing Battle Soldier. This was the first time Allen had suffered a battle loss since he arrived on this planet. The soldier died under Baku's second mutation, wrapped in tentacles and crushed his bones to death.
The corpse was already distorted beyond recognition, and even the magic energy armor on his body had lost its value of recycling. Only the Fire Fighting Rifle was not affected, and Allen retrieved it along with the soldier's nameplate.
Back at his residence, a large iron box was placed in the living room. Blood seeped out of the iron box, and when Allen shot it out, a smell of blood floated out. Inside was Baku's heart that had been punched away by Welik when he was a giant. Now that Baku was dead, the organ was still not completely dead. Every ten seconds or so, it would jump hard. However, the frequency of the beating was decreasing. If there was no suitable preservation method, the heart might soon die.
Allen frowned as he looked at the heart in the iron box. If this was Earth, then all the problems would be solved. He had the means to preserve his heart, and at that time, he could study the cells that affected Baku's mutation through organ slices. If he could successfully extract or replicate that kind of cell and use it, he could strengthen the physique of ordinary soldiers as long as he had one-tenth of Baku's giant transformation. No, even one-twentieth of his physical fitness was enough to create a powerful army.
Unfortunately, with the current medical level and pharmacological knowledge of this world, it was still impossible to conduct research on such abnormal creatures.
Allen's heart suddenly skipped a beat as he looked at the door. The snow-white white snake drilled in. After bringing Allen into the city from the Ash Mountain Range, it went to the wilderness to hunt for food. Sometimes, it would take several days. It left in vain this morning, but now it had returned. It was obvious that it had returned much earlier than usual.
Bai seemed to be very interested in the heart in the iron box, but it knew that it belonged to Allen, so its head kept turning between the heart and Allen. Allen smiled and said, "You want to eat it?"
Bai nodded.
Allen thought that he couldn't study it anyway. Instead of letting his heart die, he might as well let it eat for free while it still had some activity. He wanted to see if he could get any benefits from it. So he patted the white snake's head and said, "Then I'll let you have it. Don't make too much noise."
Bai stuck out his snake and rubbed it against Allen's palm before he got into the iron box. With a swing of its tail, it automatically closed the iron box and began to enjoy its feast inside. Alan shook his head and walked out of the hall as he watched the metal box shake gently. He ordered the two warriors not to let anyone in so that they would not disturb Bai's meal. As soon as Allen came in, he said, "I plan to return to the Ash Mountain Range in two days."
"I have to see how everyone is doing, and the Abyss Devil Blood … If there is still that kind of thing, I will persuade the other leaders to destroy it.
"I have to see how everyone is doing. There's also the Devil's Blood … If there's still such a thing, I'll convince the other leaders to destroy it. Allen's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet.
How about this? I don't have anything to do in the city for the time being, so let me accompany you back to take a look. If your clansmen need help, I think I can help. " If your clansmen need help, I think I can help. "
"Then you rest."
It was already late at night, and the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Ethan left the main building and was now being cleaned up by soldiers on the left side. It was already late at night, and the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit. Matto, an officer of the city guards, was reporting to Ethan about tonight's battle. Ethan's eyelids twitched when he heard that Allen and the others were using unknown firearms. He interrupted Matto and asked, "In your opinion, how powerful are the weapons used by Mr. Allen and the others compared to our guns?"
Matto smiled bitterly and said, "It's not low. And their weapons seem to be able to use Origin Energy to convert it into cannonballs. I saw with my own eyes that those weapons shot out extremely powerful fireballs. That kind of destructive power has already caught up to that of cannons. "
"Cannons that can be carried away. Hey, our foreign friends still have a lot of secrets hidden on them." Ethan laughed dryly.
In the morning, it was sultry. Early this morning, a carriage stopped in front of the house. Allen stood at the window and looked down to see Edward get out of the carriage. He sensed Allen's gaze and raised his head to nod at him. The two of them met in the study. Edward said, "I'm sorry I couldn't get away last night and didn't help."
"It doesn't matter. You have a wife now. Protecting your wife is what you should do." Allen smiled.
Edward shook his head and said, "I won't let Nero fall in love with me."
"Why?"
"Because I will deal with her father and leave this place, so there's no need to let her fall in love with me and add to her troubles." Said Edward.
Allen shook his head and said, "We don't have to kill Ethan. As for leaving. If Nero really falls in love with you, she will definitely follow you wherever you go. So you see, your troubles are not troubles at all. "
Edward said insistently, "I have my own ideas."
Allen shrugged. Outsiders could not interfere in emotional matters. He had already done his duty as a friend. How to choose was Edward's own problem.
"I came here today to ask you, when are you going to attack Ethan?"
Allen pondered and said, "I've just become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and there are still many things I need to deal with. At the very least, we have to wait for the first batch of automatically produced textiles to come out before we can make a big deal. We've earned enough popularity, so there won't be too much trouble when we overpower Ethan. "
"The trouble here is not trouble." Edward said, "I have to remind you, Allen. Don't forget our force field just because they're humans. Once they know we're from somewhere else, the consequences will be no different from invading other planets. "
"I know." Allen said in a deep voice.
The sound of a carriage came from outside again, and both of them were surprised. Standing outside the window, another carriage stopped in the small square. Then, a group of soldiers followed in. It was Matto, the officer of the city defense team from last night. Matto trotted to the side of the car and picked up a person from the door. It was City Lord Ethan.
"Why is he here?" Edward frowned.
Allen said indifferently, "He's definitely not here to thank us for our help last night."
Edward looked at the city guard. Allen said, "I'll see him. You stay here."
Arriving at the small square, Allen said from afar, "Lord Ethan, what brings you here?"
Ethan laughed and said, "I've heard Matto's report. It was all thanks to Mr. Allen and your men that the demon was knocked down last night." As the City Lord of Sur City, I must express my gratitude. "
"As a member of Sur City, it's not everyone's responsibility to protect their own city. Your Excellency is too serious."
Ethan grabbed Allen's hand and said, "Actually, there's another thing I'm here for besides thanking Mr. Allen for his contribution."
Allen asked calmly, "I wonder what it is."
Looking at Matto, Ethan said, "I heard from Matto that Mr. Allen's men are equipped with powerful weapons." It's much more powerful than our guns, you see. Since Mr. Allen can publicize the technology of the Crosses textile machine for the benefit of the people of Sur City. Can you also provide us with the technology of this weapon? After all, Sur City is located at the border of the empire, and this place is in turmoil all year round. "With a strong military backing, I think Mr. Allen can live a better life here."
"So that's how it is." Allen smiled faintly and said, "If it's anything else, I'll be happy to help. However, these weapons are my family's secrets. Without the permission of the family, I can't publicize them. So I'm sorry, Lord Ethan, but that's the only thing I can't agree to. "
Ethan's smile froze, but he still forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, it'll be very difficult for me. Mr. Allen, you should know that if the power of the private armed forces is enough to threaten my territory. According to the Constitution, I have to confiscate your weapons. I don't think Mr. Allen wants to do that, right? "
"Of course, so my advice to Lord Ethan is. Why don't Lord Ethan pretend that he has never heard of this matter? In this way, we can be at peace with each other. " Allen said seriously, "I promise we won't do anything detrimental to Lord and Sur City. Otherwise, we wouldn't have done anything last night, would we? "
Ethan looked at the city guards behind him. Matto seemed to be struggling a little. In the end, he made a gesture with his hands behind his back. The soldiers of the city guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do. From the room, Welik and the others emerged one by one. Some of them leaned against the door, some sitting in the corridor. Belmore even smiled and nodded at Ethan, intentionally or unintentionally trimming his fingernails with a pitch-black knife.
Matto shook his head at Ethan. The latter gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Well, this matter is over. I respect Mr. Allen's decision. Goodbye. "
Allen walked Ethan and his carriage to the street before walking back. Back in the study, Edward looked at him and said, "Looks like we have to act early. Our Lord Ethan is already on guard against us."
"He's too naive, and his ambition is indeed a little big." Allen nodded and said, "Looks like he's forgotten who helped him stay in the City Lord's Mansion today."
"I'll leave Sur City for a few days."
Edward smiled and said, "Then when you get back, you'll probably have to call me Baron Edward."
"Please take care of me in the future, Baron." Allen said seriously.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.
