Chapter 1439: Deserters

Void volcano.

Allen hasn't been in or out of this space of consciousness between the source force star sea and the surface will for a long time. When he appeared in this space in the past, he usually appeared at the same level as the volcano. Today, he was observing the fire zone condescendingly, and the change of angle seemed to show the change of his control over the source power. Just as he appeared in the form of a conscious body at this moment, but he had a vague feeling of controlling the volcanic belt below, as if as long as he stretched out his hand, the volcanic belt below would undergo earth-shaking changes. It was a god-like sense of supremacy.

He was in no rush to try.

Looking down, this volcanic belt has one more mountain than before. With the main peak as the center, two side peaks are arched to the left and right, and the three craters are all spewing fire and magma. Mars rises with the hot air and floats in the whole space, making the space glow red.

The foundation at the foot of the mountain has also thickened a lot, and the magma that flowed down the mountain pass in the past will flow into the void. Now it converges into several lava rivers. Allen couldn't help but wonder, will a sea of ​​lava be formed directly in the future?

It's not impossible.

He licked his lips, a little ready to move. It is said that men are boys who don't grow up, but toys are constantly changing. Feeling that he has some kind of control over this space of consciousness, Allen is like trying to do something.

Concentrating on his consciousness, he landed near one of the lava rivers and stretched out his hands to hold him. A few lumps of mud by the river rose up exuding heat and fire. Alan rubbed his hands, and the lumps of mud changed shape accordingly, forming a few fire horned demons. It's just a few clay sculptures of fire horned demons, with no breath of life at all, which is somewhat different from the creation that Allen thought of.

Sure enough, he still can't create creatures, even in this consciousness space. Allen smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out his hands again, focused his consciousness on the foundations near several lava rivers, and then separated his hands left and right.

The entire space of consciousness resounded with loud bangs, and the ground cracked in the middle, forming a huge gully. The gully is expanding rapidly, the ground is sinking, and a huge pit is quickly formed. The lava continued to pour down, and soon covered the huge pit, and continued to rise, eventually forming an overflowing lava lake.

Hot bubbles float in the lava lake, and a small column of slurry will be sprayed from time to time, full of vitality. At the moment this lava lake was formed, Allen clearly felt that his source power capacity had increased by another 20%. It can be seen that the transformation of the Void Volcano will be directly reflected in the change of the source power.

He still wanted to continue to try, and suddenly a very familiar feeling surged up. This feeling made his heart tremble, and he seemed to feel that Lucy was standing behind him, although he couldn't see or touch it. But the jumping golden hair, and the exuberant expression flowing in her green eyes, seemed to be right in front of her eyes.

So close that Allen could see her just by turning around.

Is she here? Came here to Agares? Even though he knew it was impossible, Allen couldn't help but think so. With this thought, consciousness immediately rose, and the void volcano became farther and farther away, and finally Allen opened his eyes.

But what he saw was not Lucy, but a man.

He stood in the flames, with a majestic face under his pale gray hair, and those same red eyes were looking directly at Allen. When his eyes fell on him, Allen felt like he was seen through. Almost instinctively, a circle of secret flames of the void suddenly rose from Alan's feet, and the translucent gray-white flames separated Alan from the opponent's sight.

The man said with a "huh" voice: "The Void Secret Flame? It is not easy to be able to master such a high-level void source power before fully awakening."

"Who are you?" Allen asked, as long as the man in front of him showed any hostility, he would take out the demon gift hair and endless destruction from the space wrist wheel without hesitation. Although instinct reminded him that these two killer weapons might not be useful to this mysterious man.

"It doesn't matter who I am, as long as you keep walking along this road, one day you will know who I am. My descendants, I am here just to meet you and remind you. Be careful what we really enemies of

When that day comes, don't hesitate, if you still want to get rid of fate and put an end to the endless cycle of our family. "

The figure of the man began to fade away.

Allen shook his head and said: "I don't understand. What is the real enemy, what is getting rid of fate, ending reincarnation, please explain to me clearly!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, when that day comes, you will know all the causes and effects."

"and many more!"

Suddenly the door of the room was knocked open, Allen turned his head, and Laura and Belmod looked nervous. Seeing Allen asked at the same time: "Are you okay?"

Allen shook his head, but at this time, the man had disappeared without a trace. Looking at the empty room, Allen almost suspected that it was just a dream.

But he knew it wasn't a dream.

He just didn't know that the man used Lucy as the medium of communication between the two of them, so they crossed billions of stars to meet each other. On this side, no one knows what the result will be.

If the universe itself is a tightly operating program, then the meeting between Allen and that man is the insertion of unknown variables into this program. I'm afraid that even the person who designed the program doesn't know what kind of changes will be caused.

If there is such a person.

"Master, are you alright? Your aura just now seemed abnormal." Belmode walked around the room to confirm that there were no traces of foreign invasion before giving up.

Allen said: "Something happened, but it's nothing serious."

"That's good, but some bad things have happened in the city recently, and I'm afraid you need to solve them yourself." Laura took a long coat and put it on for Alan.

Allen frowned: "What's the matter?"

Belmore

De Shen said: "Deserts."

"deserter?"

After Allen rejected the invitation from the empire, the Demon Ring City sent two generals from the empire and 100,000 troops. Now that the army has completed its assembly, I am afraid that within two or three days, soldiers will force Mo Kedan.

At this moment, after hearing the news, everyone from senior officials of Mokdan down to ordinary residents was panicked. Mokdan is okay, at least Alan is in charge in person. Panic is panic, but it is not chaotic.

However, deserters appeared in the three undercurrent cities that were captured before. Soldiers have fled out of the city one after another since yesterday. Now the general Zhuo De, who is in charge of the undercurrent city, rushed directly to Mokdan to see Alan in a hurry. It just happened to happen that Alan was tempering his source power, so he was blocked by Laura.

A moment later, Allen saw General Zhuo De in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. This Barr has a strong physique. Just by looking at his appearance, one would think that he is the kind of brave warrior, but in fact he is extremely smooth. When Allen attacked Undertow City that day, Zhuo De pretended to block Allen's sword and immediately surrendered. The speed was so fast that even Allen didn't react immediately.

Now it is arranged by Allen to preside over the overall situation in Undercurrent City, and the two nearby cities are also placed under Zhuo De's jurisdiction. Originally, Zhuo De was quite happy, after all, with the three cities in his hand, he could have twice as much money as before, but now that there is a desertion, he, the general, is duty-bound. Thanks to him making a decisive decision, he immediately rushed to Mokdan to plead guilty to Alan. No matter how he dealt with it next, he made the plea first, and even if Alan wanted to punish him, it would be a light punishment.

Allen had already met with Melanie before meeting him, and he already had a countermeasure in mind. Just after entering the hall, Zhuo De knelt down on the ground with a bang, and then shouted "neglect of responsibility", he just hugged Alan's legs and cried bitterly.

He was angry and funny, shook his head and said: "Get up, General Zhuo De."

Only then did Zhuo De stand up cowardly, as if obedient and obedient. Allen sat down, resting his chin on one hand, squinting at him and said, "You are the general of the empire, and you should know better than me how the empire handles deserters. I'm just curious, why don't you deal with the deserters, general, Instead, he came to Mokdan, isn't this a waste of time?"

"Well, after all, my lord is not the one, so I'm not sure how my lord will deal with those bastards. Zhuo De didn't dare to make his own decisions, so I came here to ask my lord for advice."

Allen said lightly: "I will deal with what the empire does. Does the general understand?"

"Ming, I understand." Zhuo De's forehead was sweating, and the empire had always treated deserters without mercy. It seemed that the matter of chasing and killing deserters had to fall on himself. It's nothing to kill those deserters, but once you do it, you will undoubtedly show your position to the empire, and then you can't play the game of ambiguity afterwards.

After all, chasing deserters is tantamount to killing imperial soldiers, so what is the difference between rebellion and rebellion. If you can use being forced as an excuse to surrender before, but this time you have to personally hunt down the deserters, there is no excuse. Thinking of this, Zhuo De had a little bit of hope in his heart and said: "My lord, is the matter of chasing and killing deserters?"

Before he finished speaking, Allen interrupted: "Of course you are in charge, general. Could it be that the soldiers who escaped from your command want other generals to wipe their ass for you? Or is it that the general intends to surrender in order to wait for the imperial army to return?" As soon as you arrive, you will fight against each other?"

Zhuo De really thought so, but he couldn't say it. Allen turned the space wrist wheel intentionally or unintentionally, Zhuo De's eyes rolled sharply, and finally chose the former between his own life and the empire. It's not difficult to choose. If he doesn't agree, he can be sure that he won't have to go anywhere today. Dang gritted his teeth and said murderously: "Don't worry, my lord, none of those bastards can escape!"

"It's not too late. General, let's deal with this matter." Allen took his hand on the wrist wheel away.

On this day, after Zhuo De returned to Undercurrent City, he immediately sent troops to hunt down Baili, beheaded all the deserters, cut off the heads of the deserters and sent them to Mokdan. Afterwards, Mokdan released a series of new regulations, which included doubling the military strength of all soldiers, rewards for beheading emperors, and military merit adjustments.

Before this, the heads of the deserters were beheaded to show the public first, and the welfare of the soldiers was improved later, which is like giving you a candy after being beaten with a stick. But this approach did have an effect, at least no soldier dared to flee again.

Then the next day, Allen received a spiritual message from Mitinas that a new army would arrive from the ruins today, which would undoubtedly be another great help to Allen.
