Chapter 326: Ambition

After the battle, the city defense team cleaned the battlefield. After the second mutation in Baku, the Anthem of Destruction caused a self-destruct. …Acme novel, 90% of the body has been blown into ashes, and the remaining fragments hardly need to be cleaned. Even if they were thrown in the wilderness, the carrion beasts would dig them up within a day.

That night, the city defense team suffered heavy losses. Twenty soldiers died in battle, a dozen were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less wounded. Even Allen lost a Flame Warrior. This was the first time that Allen suffered battle damage since he came to this planet. The soldier died under the sudden attack of Baku's second mutation. He was caught by the tentacles and squeezed his bones to death.

The corpse has been distorted beyond shape, and even the mana armor on it has lost the value of recycling. Only the Flaming Rifle remained unaffected, and was recovered by Allen along with the soldier's nameplate.

Back at the residence, a large iron box was placed in the living room. The iron box was still oozing with blood, and when Allen hit it, a bloody smell wafted out. Inside is Baku's heart that was blown away by Willick's punch when he was in the giant state. Now Baku is dead, but the organ is still not completely dead. Every ten seconds or so, it jumped vigorously. It's just that the beating frequency is declining. If there is no suitable preservation method, the heart may die soon.

Allen frowned and looked at the heart in the iron box. If it was on the earth, then all problems would be solved. He has the means to preserve the heart, and then he can slice the organ to study the cells that affect the Baku mutation. If those cells can be successfully extracted or copied and used, the physique of ordinary soldiers can be enhanced, as long as they have one-tenth of Baku's giantization. No, even one-twentieth of physical fitness is enough to build a strong army.

It is a pity that with the current level of medical treatment and pharmacological cognition in this world, it is still impossible to conduct research on this abnormal creature.

Alan's heart suddenly moved, and he looked towards the door. The snow-white white snake came in at this time. After it was brought into the city from the Aspen Mountains by Allen, it went to the wilderness to look for food by itself. Sometimes it takes several days to go, and Bai just left this morning, but now he is back, obviously much earlier than usual.

Bai seemed to be very interested in the heart in the iron box, but he knew it belonged to Alan, so his head kept turning between the heart and Alan. Allen smiled and said, "You want to eat it?"

Bai fucked his head.

Allen thought that he would not be able to study it if he kept it anyway. Instead of leaving his heart necrotic, it is better to let Bai eat it while the blood is still active, and see if Bai can get any benefits. So he patted White Snake on the head and said, "Then it will be cheaper for you, don't make too much noise."

Spit out the snake letter in vain,

Rubbing Alan's palm, he got into the iron box. Around the tail of the snake, it closed the iron box by itself, and began to enjoy its big meal inside. Seeing the iron box shaking slightly, Allen shook his head and walked out of the hall, and ordered the two soldiers not to let anyone in, so as not to disturb Bai's eating. He then went to Caesar, who had regained his composure and sat cross-legged on the bed.

As soon as Allen came in, he said, "I plan to go back to the Aspen Mountains in the next two days."

"I have to go and see how everyone is doing, and the devil's blood... If there is such a thing, I will persuade the other leaders to destroy it. That kind of thing shouldn't exist in the world."

Allen's heart moved, and he said: "You haven't fully recovered, so be it. Anyway, I don't have anything to do in the city for the time being, so let me go back with you to have a look. If your clansmen need help, I think I can help .”

Caesar fucked his head.

"Go get some rest."

It was already late at night, and the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit. Ethan left the main building, and soldiers are now clearing the collapsed annexe on the left. Matto, an officer of the city defense team, was reporting to Ethan the situation of the battle tonight. Ethan's eyelids twitched when he heard that Allen and others used unknown firearms. He stretched out his hand to interrupt Matto, and asked, "In your opinion, the weapons used by Mr. Allen are more powerful than our fire/guns."

Mato smiled wryly: "It's only high but not low. And their weapons seem to be able to use the source force and convert the source force into shells. I have seen with my own eyes that those weapons shoot out powerful fireballs. The destructive power has already Can catch up with the artillery."

"A cannon that can be carried around, hey, our foreign friends still hide a lot of secrets." Ethan laughed dryly.

In the morning, the weather was muggy. Early this morning, a carriage stopped in front of the house. Allen stood at the window and looked down, seeing Edward getting out of the carriage. He noticed Alan's gaze, raised his head and nodded with him. The two met in the study, and Edward said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you because I couldn't get away last night."

"It's okay, you are a married man now, and protecting your wife is what you should do." Alan laughed.

Edward shook his head and said, "I won't let Nilu fall in love with me."

"why?"

"Because I will deal with his father and leave here, there is no need for her to fall in love with me, which will only add to the trouble." Edward said.

Allen shook his head and said: "We don't have to put Ethan to death, as for leaving. If Nilu really falls in love with you, she will definitely follow wherever you go. So you see, your troubles are nothing to do with it. Not to worry."

Edward said with unusual persistence: "I have my own ideas."

Allen shrugged, and outsiders could not intervene in emotional matters. He had already done his duty as a friend. How to choose is Edward's own problem.

"I came here today to ask you, when will you attack Ethan?"

Allen pondered: "I just became the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and there are still many things to deal with. At the very least, we have to wait until the first batch of automatically produced textiles come out, and then make a big business. We have earned enough popularity. Time to hold Ethan out of the way, so there won't be too much trouble."

"The troubles here are not troubles." Edward said, "I have to warn you, Alan. Don't forget our force fields just because they are human. Once we let them know that we came from other places, the consequences will be the same as invading other lands." Planets don't make much of a difference."

"I know." Allen said in a deep voice.

The sound of a carriage sounded outside again, both of them were surprised. Looking out of the window, another carriage stopped in the small square. Then a group of soldiers came in from outside, and the leader was Mato, the officer of the city defense team last night. Matto trotted to the side of the car and picked up a person from the car door, but it was the city lord Ethan.

"Why is he here?" Edward frowned.

Allen said lightly: "It's definitely not to thank us for our shot last night."

Edward glanced at the city defense team, and Allen said, "I'll go see him, you stay here."

When he came to the small square, Allen said from a distance: "Master Ethan, what kind of wind brought you here."

Ethan laughed, and greeted him: "I have listened to Mato's report. Last night, I relied on Mr. Allen and your men to defeat the demon. As the lord of Suer City, I must express my sincere respect. Twelve points of thanks."

"As a member of Sur City, it is not everyone's responsibility to defend our own city. My lord is too serious."

Ethan took Alan's hand and said, "Actually, this time, besides thanking Mr. Alan for his contribution, there is another thing."

Allen asked calmly, "I don't know what it is."

Glancing at Matto, Ethan said: "I heard from Matto that Mr. Allen's subordinates are equipped with powerful weapons. They are much more powerful than our fire/guns, you see. Allen Sir, since you can publish the technology of the Crosis loom to benefit the people of Sur City, can you also provide us with the technology of this weapon? After all, the city of Sur is located on the border of the Empire, and it is always in turmoil. If With a strong military backing, I think Mr. Allen can live a better life here."

"So that's the case." Alan smiled slightly and said, "If it's anything else, I'd be happy to help. But these weapons are my family's secrets, and I can't disclose them without the family's permission. So I'm sorry, Yi Master Sang, this is the only thing I can't agree to."

Ethan's smile froze, and he still forced a smile and said, "In this case, it will be very embarrassing for me. Mr. Allen, you should also know that if the power of private armed forces is enough to threaten my territory. According to the constitution, I have to put Your weapons are confiscated, and I don't think Mr. Allen would like to do that either?"

"Of course, so my advice to Mr. Ethan is. If you don't, you have never heard of it. In this way, we can live with each other." Allen said seriously: "I promise, we will not I will do anything detrimental to my lord and Sur City. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made a move last night, would we?”

Ethan glanced at the city defense team behind him, Mato seemed to be struggling, and finally gestured with his hands behind his back. The soldiers of the city defense team looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all at a loss. From the house, Willick and others emerged one by one. Some of them were leaning against the door, and some were sitting in the corridor. Belmode even smiled and saluted Ethan's head, and trimmed his nails intentionally or unintentionally with a short black knife.

Matto shook his head at Ethan, who gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Okay, let's close this matter, and I respect Mr. Allen's decision. Goodbye."

Allen sent Ethan and his carriage to the street before walking back. Back in the study, Edward glanced at him and said, "It seems that we have to act early, our Lord Ethan has already started to be wary of us."

"He's too naive, and his ambitions are really big." Alan nodded and said, "It seems that he has forgotten who is helping to live in the City Lord's Mansion today."

"I will leave Sur City for a few days."

Edward smiled and said, "Then when you come back, you probably have to call me Baron Edward."

"Please take care of the baron in the future." Allen said seriously.

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
