Chapter 1443 Values
In the land vehicle returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Melanie said: "My lord has done a better job than what I saw in my image."
Allen said, "That's just as you said."
Melanie smiled and said, "I just told my lord to pay attention to the balance between the old and the new, but I didn't teach you how to do it. Just now in the conference room, the lord listened to the ideas of both sides, finally unified them, and guided them to Your own intentions. As far as this point is concerned, it is commendable. If you divide the methods of imperial servants into three, six, and nine grades, Lord Alan's wrists are undoubtedly as high as your combat power, and they are both superb."
"Mr. Melanie is in a good mood today, otherwise he wouldn't flatter me so openly." Allen shook his head and smiled.
"I'm telling the truth. Looking at the whole of Agares, the two supreme beings stand at the pinnacle of force, supporting a country with one person. But when it comes to governing the country, in my opinion, they are mediocre. The one in Demon Ring City is not right at all. The empire ignored it, so it was almost impossible to talk about it. As for the emperor Dubia, he was more than strict and self-willed. Dubiali has always been his own opinion, how can he be as Lord Allen did just now? The subordinates speak freely."
Master Allen laughed at himself and said: "You also said that those two are supporting a country by themselves. Of course, they can ignore it, or they can be self-willed. But I can't, so I still have to put on a show, at least let the newcomers and the old ones It’s easier to manage with less friction.”
Melanie said indifferently: "I'm sure, even if Master Allen becomes supreme, he won't behave like those two."
"Oh, Mr. Melanie is so fond of me?"
"It's not a question of whether you look good or not. The problem is that you are not from Barr." After speaking, Melanie looked out the window, obviously wanting to end the topic.
Allen had to admit that Melanie's words pointed to the root of the problem.
He is not from Baal, nor did he grow up in Agares, so he is completely different from those two supreme beings in terms of temperament and way of dealing with problems. Furthermore, Melanie had something to say. For Agares, Allen has always been an outsider. Even with his own combat power and the support of the legacy, the situation seems to be pretty good now.
But what about the future?
Once he can't continue to expand, or wants to concentrate on developing the territory. Then the issue of race will be highlighted, and even cause conflicts, and eventually let the people below overthrow his rule.
This question is complex, but also very simple.
Alan is not from Baal, so he doesn't know what the Baal people really want. The value difference between this chaotic race and human beings is not the slightest bit.
Perhaps what is meaningful in the eyes of human beings and worth giving their lives to hold on to, is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Baal people.
Such a variety will inevitably lead to various conflicts and disputes.
Allen glanced at the man who had been thrown in prison for three years. Maybe Melanie was the first to see the hidden dangers of race. Even Allen himself ignored this issue.
He smiled and decided not to think about it for the time being. The most urgent task is to deal with the next wave of attacks from the empire. After noon, the whole Mokdan began to operate. The materials in the city were quickly counted and concentrated in the military area, and could be mobilized at any time. Generals and officers began to mobilize soldiers for war, and the airships at the port also began to debug and test flights. Residents living in the city can feel the tense atmosphere of the future of the war.
Contrary to Mokdan's tense but orderly atmosphere of preparations for war, another ancient southern city close to the Great Fault, more than 2,000 kilometers away, is full of signs of chaos and disorganization.
Iron Tree City is also very old, it is even older than Magic Ring City. The old-style buildings of the Shadow Empire can be seen everywhere in this city. Due to the unplanned expansion, the streets of Iron Tree City look complicated and crowded, which is quite different from Mokdan.
But for so many years, the managers of Iron Tree City have no plans to rebuild. The city is like an old man who is constantly carrying a heavy burden, and has reached the point where he is struggling.
Recently, a large army gathered in Iron Tree City, which made this ancient city even worse. In order to facilitate the army's assembly, Iron Tree City temporarily decided to expand the barracks. The method of expansion was also very rough. Residents in the two blocks near the general camp were driven away, and then large-scale equipment was used to level the buildings, and finally a temporary barracks was directly built on the cleared space. In just a few days, the barracks in Iron Tree City more than tripled in size.
Of course, the 100,000 troops can't be said to be stuffed, but the guards used to greet the two big men are more than enough.
For Iron Tree City, those two are the real big shots. It's okay to be crazy Ganli, but Leimo Mirion is a character who rarely appears in the southern cities. Speaking of it, if it weren't for the turmoil in Mokdan this time, it would be almost impossible for Iron Tree City to witness the demeanor of the two imperial generals at once.
But when the two imperial generals really arrived, the original longing of the residents of Iron Tree City disappeared. Lemo Mirion is fine, at least the general and his subordinates are safe. But the other general was not like this. On the first day when the madman Ganli came to Iron Tree City, he asked the city lord to send all the girls over the age of fifteen and under the age of twenty to the barracks. In fact, it is for the officer and himself to have fun. That day, the entire Iron Tree City was in chaos, and the city defense army acted as lackeys for arresting the girl, tossing the ancient city into chaos.
On this day, there were hundreds of clashes and bloodshed. In the long-vacant prison in Iron Tree City, hundreds of people were thrown into it that day to fill up the cells. Afterwards, Ganli asked Iron Tree City to send prisoners to kill for fun every day, at least a dozen people each time, and sometimes a hundred or so. So the camp where Ganli lived was full of fishy smell for the next few days.
From the residents to the city lord of Iron Tree City, they all hoped that this large army would leave as soon as possible. But the army said it was assembled here and was going to fight in Mokdan. But the barracks and even the barracks outside the city showed no sign of mobilization before the war, and the army showed no sign of leaving. This made the main body of Iron Tree City drop sharply, and it was hard to know what to eat every day.
Every day there were complaints in the city, if the city lord hadn't dispatched an army to stand in front of the city lord's mansion, the city lord's mansion would have been leveled by people. In the end, he simply ignored it, and could not help but toss about outside, hiding in the city lord's mansion and enjoying himself.
No, when a barracks steward broke into the city lord's mansion, he was stopped by the steward. The camp steward looked frowning, and said, "Housekeeper, please let me see the city lord. This is really not going to work. Today, Mr. Ganli sent dozens of corpses out of the camp, and they were all pulled out by cars. There are still us in the camp." The guards of the city said they accidentally bumped into Lord Ganli's guards outside the camp, and killed them without asking why."
The butler also had a headache, grinning his teeth, and said: "Even if you report this matter to the city lord, it will be nothing, and it will make him unhappy instead. Why bother. I heard that these two adults will leave within two days at the latest , let's bear with it."
The battalion officer sighed: "Hey, you said that these two adults have tossed our cycad tree to death. I really don't know how they came to those cities on the Eastern Front?"
"Shh." The housekeeper covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, it would be too long for people to listen to you. Besides, Lord Mirion didn't do anything, and Lord Ganli is the only one who is hard to serve."
After all, he dismissed the battalion manager, but the housekeeper shook his head and went too.
At this moment, a shrill cry sounded from somewhere in the barracks, and the soldiers from Iron Tree City in the barracks couldn't help covering their ears. Just hearing that sound hurts. In fact, the corpses pulled out of the Ganli camp these days are horrible, and it is impossible to imagine how these people were suddenly tortured and killed before.
Anyway, it's right not to die easily.
At this moment, Ganli, who was more like a devil than a devil, was lying on a slender thigh. A sexy and charming woman used her legs as a pillow for him, and another woman beside him was responsible for feeding Ganli with wine.
That's right, the mouth-to-mouth kind.
Both women were naked, trying their best to curry favor with this well-dressed general who was actually a beast. Ganli took a sip of the wine that passed from the waitress's mouth, his eyes half-closed, and he fell on a bloody figure in front of him.
It was also a woman, hanging in the air through the palm of the iron chain. The whole body is naked, and there is hardly a good piece of flesh on the body. All her nails were taken off, there were welt marks all over her chest and back, and there were burn marks on her inner thighs and even her private parts. An eyeball and half of her tongue are at her feet, and a soldier is picking at her toenails with pliers.
The two women who were waiting on Ganli tried their best to put on smiles on their faces, but the smiles were uglier than death.
Suddenly someone came in, as soon as this person appeared, the room was filled with thunder, humming and trembling, making people dizzy, only Ganli looked normal. He lazily climbed up from the woman's lap, and didn't forget to hold her chest before he said with a smile, "What kind of wind brought Lord Mirion here?"
The person who came was Lemo Mirion.
If it weren't for the electric light all over his body, if it wasn't for the aura of wind and thunder while sitting and lying, who would have thought that this man who is not so vigorous, and even looks a little thin, would be the second general of the empire, Miriam.
Myrion's eyes seemed to be bursting with lightning at any moment, and when he looked at the poor woman, thunder roared from her body. Before even humming, it turned into coke. Although death is miserable, it is always better than suffering from all kinds of torture.
Withdrawing his gaze, Myrion said calmly: "You still like playing with these perverted things so much."
Ganli waved his hand to signal everyone to go down. After everyone left, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Master Mirion, do you know what you are doing?"
"I stared at someone."
"No, you stared at a spy to death, and she is about to reveal all the information in exchange for a happy death."
"Oh, then she earned it." Mirion said without even twitching his eyelids: "I'm here to inform you that I've had enough of staying here. If you don't leave tomorrow, then I'll go first."
"Did I hear you right?" Ganli looked shocked, but the expression was so exaggerated that anyone could see that it was intentional: "The order from the Demon Ring City seems to be to wait another two days so that all our warships Armed with 'Thunder'. Myrion-sama acted like this without authorization, it seems to be contrary to the order."
