On the second day of the cocktail party, Lucy came. She was accompanied by Metallon, who was carrying a suitcase in his hand. With a solemn expression, he handed it to Allen and said, "Because of His Highness' support, she will move here from today onwards. Mr. Allen, I must remind you once again that our noble Highness cannot tolerate the slightest grievance. Otherwise, it will not be me who will pursue you, but the royal family, and even His Highness' father … "
"Alright, alright." Lucy snatched the suitcase and patted the Marquis on the chest. "Teacher, you should go back first. You still have to receive Alexander's compensation. Hurry up and get busy. There's nothing else for you here. "
Metallon looked helplessly at Lucy and said, "Your Highness, I just don't want His Highness to suffer."
Shaking his head and about to leave, Allen took a step forward and said, "Lord Marquis, I'm not a big shot. But if anyone dares to harm Lucy, I will risk my life for her. "
When Lucy heard this, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
However, Metallon said coldly, "Your life is worthless."
Then he strode away and Allen looked helplessly at Lucy. Suddenly, he heard the Marquis throw out a sentence, "But I feel your intentions. I will report them to His Majesty truthfully."
Only then did he truly leave.
Allen grimaced and said, "He's really strict."
"Of course, Teacher Metallon has always been like this." Lucy shrugged her shoulders and threw the suitcase to Allen. "Let's go. I heard you went drinking last night?"
"You're well-informed."
"Hmph, you didn't call me when you had such a good thing. You don't even know that I've been bored to death these past few days. "
"I think so."
For the next few days, Lucy lived in the wing tower of the castle. Allen was busy recruiting a group of technical talents in Babylon, preparing to pull them back to his own territory on Planet Heaven. Now that he calculated the time, Storm City's steel mills and weapons workshops should be put into use, but the level of weapons that could be produced was limited. Allen hoped that the workshop could at least produce standard firearms and ammunition, so he needed people in this field.
After asking Steward Helsing, Allen got a small technical team. Among them were machine tool designers, weapons experts, and other related assistants. The cost of such a team was no less than that of a hundred-man army, but Allen still signed a three-year contract with them. Right now, he had people and resources, but he lacked people with professional knowledge in this area.
This team just happened to make up for his shortcomings. In the future, he could even cultivate local talents on Heavenly Planet. He only needed to pass down the relevant knowledge in a reasonable way.
Soon, a week passed. On this day, a military transport truck stopped in front of the castle. Soldiers jumped out of the car one after another. These soldiers had solemn expressions, and they gathered quickly and silently. Everyone exuded the aura of an iron-blooded battlefield, which made Allen quite satisfied. They were from the Sirius Legion, exchanged for Melinda's military merits. However, after the army was handed over to Allen, the Sirius symbol on their bodies had been removed.
However, in this disciplined army, their officer was a rather lazy-looking middle-aged man. He casually grabbed the bird's nest-like head and handed a folder to Allen. "This is the list of our team members, identity information. Sir, when are we going out? There's been no war these past few days, and my hands are itchy. "
Allen scanned the information and smiled, "Captain Woody, don't worry. There's no shortage of war on Planet Heaven."
"That's good. Only when there's a war can I earn military merits. With military merits, I can support the old and the young at home. " After he finished speaking, he patted his head again, "I forgot that we've already transferred out of Sirius. There's still a fart of military merit."
"That's not necessarily the case. I also have an army, so I naturally have military merits. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. "
Woody nodded and introduced two second lieutenants and a few non-commissioned officers to Allen. They were all Woody's left and right hands, and they were also the fulcrum of this army. Officers and soldiers formed a complete combat network.
The army that Windsor Bellow had found for Allen was of good quality. The soldiers were all veterans from Level 5 to Level 8, and each of them had a set of Blazing Battle Soldiers. Just this configuration alone, the cost of this army was not something that an ordinary family could afford. Not to mention a Level 18 captain, two Level 15 second lieutenants, and many Level 11 and Level 2 non-commissioned officers.
Allen planned to incorporate the remaining Blazing Battle Soldiers into this army after he returned. In the end, when he was thinking about the name of the army, he gave the name of his Inch Fire battle skill to this army.
Invasion was like fire, every inch of land was contested. He had high hopes for this army.
Two days later, Allen brought the Inch Fire Squad, the technical team, and the others to the harbor, preparing to return to Planet Heaven and continue his pioneering career. Now that Planet Heaven had officially joined the Federation, apart from Grant, there were two other aristocratic families that had been authorized. Three days ago, Diego had pulled a team to form his own hunting group and headed to Planet Heaven.
It was conceivable that before long, more competitors would appear on that planet.
Allen's only advantage now was that he had gained a foothold on that planet and successfully integrated into its society. For him, the most important thing now was to expand his influence, including territorial expansion, recruitment of troops, acceleration of economic and military development, and so on. As long as he was far ahead, he would be the biggest beneficiary.
Before he left, he received another message.
Leon had brought a family squad to the surface. This was nothing new for Babylon today. As early as three months ago, the Federation had opened some ground battlefields. Clan troops were allowed to enter the battlefields in these areas. Depending on the area, the mission of the clan's private army might be to assist in defense or a series of local wars.
The performance of the clan's private army on the battlefield could be converted into military merits, which could then be exchanged for all kinds of supplies needed by the Federation. Originally, a war like this would attract the armies of small clans to settle in and integrate their strength to assist the Federation in dealing with the Gate of Freedom. However, there were also young masters from wealthy families like Leon who wanted to make a splash on the battlefield. As a result, after the ground battlefield was opened, many aristocratic squads had already arrived on the surface.
Right now, the surface was also covered in smoke. However, not only did this human civil war not end, it instead felt like it was getting more and more intense.
If the war on the interstellar defense line was counted, then this was definitely the most serious internal and external conflict in the history of the Federation after the Battle of Dawn. However, in this great era, individual power was quite small, and Allen did not have the mood to worry about the Federation. Thus, after silently wishing Leon a good result on the surface, Allen boarded the Dawn.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Dawn took off from the harbor apron on time and headed for the Rainbow Bridge on the Moon. Through the curved passageway, it once again headed for Planet Heaven.
When he saw Planet Heaven in space again, the spacecraft's system automatically corrected the date. At this time, another two days had passed since he left. Even though Allen and the others felt that the Dawn had only stayed in the curved passageway for less than an hour.
According to its previous coordinates, the Dawn still landed in the Ash Mountains. Allen considered whether he should build a secret landing apron near Sur City in the future to facilitate the travel of magical flying ships. This was very necessary. As his territory expanded in the future and he obtained sufficient resources, he would need a magical flying ship to transport the resources back to Earth and hand them over to his clan. It could be imagined that at that time, Sur City, a border city, would become lively and prosperous because of this.
However, these were all the words of the future.
After walking out of the Ash Mountains, it took two days for Allen to bring his team to Sur City to rest. When they entered the city, the residents of the city all revealed curious and vigilant gazes when they saw the army. It was only when they saw that the leader was the Knight, Allen, that they were relieved. In their eyes, City Lord Edward and this young Knight had already created enough miracles, so it was not strange for them to suddenly pull in an army dressed in strange clothes.
Edward arranged for the Inch Fire Squadron to stay in the barracks of Sur City and ordered someone to bring a batch of cloaks so that they wouldn't attract too much attention when they went to Storm City. Allen went to the City Lord's Mansion and exchanged information with Edward. The important information that Allen brought was naturally that the planet had entered the Federation's numbering system and was open to the other clans as a shared resource.
However, Edward was very calm when he heard that a family hunting group like Diego had arrived on Planet Heaven. He smiled and said, "When you left, I had already imagined such a situation. Actually, it's nothing, because this planet is very big. Not to mention that it's only authorized to a few clans, even if the Federation opens itself, it might not bump into us. "
"Unless the place they entered is near our territory."
"There's no need to worry about that. It's precisely because this planet is so vast that the Federation has designated areas for authorized hunting squads. Unless some people are too greedy or have other motives, they will come looking for us. "Allen said meaningfully.
Edward nodded and said, "If that's the case, they will definitely regret it. We are the first pioneers, and now we have successfully integrated into this planet and grasped a certain amount of power. If someone really doesn't open their eyes, I don't mind using the resources I have to kill them. Otherwise, we can use the name of the empire to gather the armies of the nearby nobles to expel outsiders. "
"In some of the history books I've read, there's no lack of such precedents."
"Let's not pay attention to this part for the time being. We can just seize the time to expand our forces. By the way, how's the situation in Storm City recently? "Allen asked casually.
Edward said solemnly, "I was just about to tell you that Storm City was surrounded."
Allen frowned and said, "Is it the Black Iron Castle?"
"No." Edward shook his head.
