Edge of the Apocalypse

Under the sunlight, a metal plate shone brightly in Allen's hand. He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the garden outside the dormitory. A brilliant pillar of light was cast on Shadow Castle, so dazzling that it was difficult to look straight at it. Originally, Shadow Castle had its back against the smooth mountain wall of the Great Fault, so it was impossible for it to be bathed in any sunlight. However, the newly appointed chief steward of the castle had forced the craftsmen to open a circular gap above the fault and insert a diffusing mirror surface. Thus, during the daytime, Shadow Castle could also be bathed in the sunlight. Alan didn't object. Humans were originally creatures that yearned for light. Shadow Castle was brighter and less gloomy, so he didn't object. However, in this way, Shadow Castle did not live up to its name.

Looking at Demonic Shadow Empire, after Alan took over the empire, the empire was also quietly changing. First, the great nobles of the imperial capital were divided into four and three, and the remaining Thunder Wolf Clans were also killed in name only. Coupled with Ramo's rebellion, there were many changes in the empire, causing many visible and invisible changes to take place throughout the empire. The most intuitive point was that almost half of the ten Great Generals of the Empire had been replaced, and many of the vacancies created by the rebellion had been filled by talented youths of the Empire. In terms of employing people, Allen was the only one who could use them, causing the empire to invisibly change into a batch of new blood, showing great vitality in many aspects.

Now that the Gus had merged into the empire, the Technical Department now had 40% of their seats. Simeel also wore the official title of Deputy Technical Supervisor. She was in charge of leading the Gus technicians at the same time. At first, this group of technicians naturally had a lot of friction with the old man when they entered the technical department. However, with Alan's support, Simir's display of strength, and the Gus' instinctive talent for artillery turrets and other weapons, these voices quickly disappeared. The current Gus Princess was no longer as timid as she was when she first arrived in Demoic Ring City. She had just quarreled with the director of the technical department yesterday and almost made trouble for Alan. When he heard this from the castle manager, Alan smiled and did not comment. However, when the steward saw that the emperor was neither sure nor furious, he had already come to a conclusion on how to deal with it.

At this moment, the metal plate in Allen's hand was precisely the fragment of the secret map he had found in the secret vault of the Kidd Imperial Palace. Saffle and Cajasso attached great importance to these two fragments. It could be seen that this so-called secret map must contain a huge secret, or benefit. Now that he had added the fragment he had obtained from Bali, Alan had finally gathered all the secret maps. When he placed the last fragment on the secret map, the fragment and the secret map clenched on their own. The metal intermingled with each other, and a ray of light flashed past, joining them seamlessly. It was a complete metal plate that appeared in Allen's hand. There were many lines on it. These lines were somewhat like electronic circuits. Allen could not see anything. He intended to hand it over to Simeel to the Technical Department for analysis. Right now, he was the sovereign of a country, so he didn't have to do many things personally, so it was much more convenient for him to do things.

"This is probably the taste of power." He smiled.

The sound of footsteps rang out, and a pair of hands gently pressed down on his shoulder. Alan closed his eyes and felt Laura's long hair hanging over his face. Then his lips were kissed. After a passionate kiss, Laura whispered in his ear, "Luci is here, and he has brought a present."

Luci was Allen's appointed agent for Omiska, and was also a member of the platinum royal family. That day, he was suppressed by Allen's might in the palace. Now, the Kidd had already obeyed Allen's orders. At this moment, apart from expressing his loyalty, Allen could not think of a second possibility to visit.

In the shadow hall, Alan saw this Kidd. He half-knelt on the ground. When he saw Alan, he reached out and gently pressed his chest. He buried his head deeply and said, "Your Majesty, look what I brought."

He clapped his hands, and a Kidd man came to the side with a metal box. He knelt down and opened it. Inside the box was a head. The former brother of Barbarian Hammer Wasak, the Gatu man named Mumpal, was currently lying quietly in the box. His eyes were wide open, and he could not die in peace.

Ellen tilted his body slightly and put his hand on his cheek, "Did you just deal with your ally like this?"

'"When Omisga was bathed in His Majesty's glory, I sent a message to Mumpal to stop resisting. Unfortunately, he was stubborn. I could only personally pluck his head off to show my loyalty to His Majesty."

"Very well, I see your loyalty, Luci." Alan said, "But Barbarian Stone is so busy with the new chief because of your intervention. I think you should know how to show off, right?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. Arch-Chieftain Hubble is also an important ally of yours. He will always be one of us in the future. Helping him is also helping me. Why not?" Luci raised his head and said, "If you like, I can let Mo Suo Xing join the alliance."

"From Nelm." Alan laughed, "Luci, you have a lot of ambition. But I admire you. Only ambitious people can do big things. If you can make the people of Nelm obey, then you will be the governor of Omiska and Mercer in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luci put his head on the ground.

"But I hope you remember how Saffle died. Don't make the same mistake as him."

Of course, he knew how Luci died. Saffle wanted to kill the emperor in front of him so that he could swallow Demonic Shadow Empire, but he didn't want to swallow a hard bone because of this, so he had better burst his stomach. This warning was like a pour of cold water, calming down his sudden power and heat. He lay on the ground and did not dare to move until the steward whispered in his ear, "Stand up, Lord Luci, His Majesty, he has already left."

Only then did the future two-star Governor raise his head and smile gratefully at the Commander-in-Chief.

A few days later, Allen didn't plan to wait any longer before he got the polar map analyzed by the Technical Department. Notify the starship port to make some arrangements and take Laura and Twilight out of Demoic Ring City on a general ship the next day. This is an appointment for Omissis. The place where the two of them met was set to be the Star Defense Line, and it was also within the defensive area of the people of Adahua Planet. There was no secret to this meeting, and Allen smiled at the manager's warning to him to be careful of Adahua Planet's trap. With Orfasis's strength, there was no need to set up any traps to deal with him, so he didn't even bring the guards with him.

However, he was looking forward to hearing from Orfasis.
