From Baron to Lord

"That's good. You guys hurry up and make the bullets. I'll come and get them first thing tomorrow morning," Allen said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Boltzmann opened his mouth wide. Three thousand bullets! He probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Ignoring Boltzmann's tearful expression, Allen was in a good mood.

The next day, Allen saw Rexxar, Garrosh, and Jackson in front of him.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Garrosh and Rexxar both shook their heads, but Jackson said happily, "Your Majesty, are the spirit bullets ready?"

"Yes, not bad," Allen said with a smile. "Here, take these."

Allen waved his hand, and three packages appeared, landing in their arms.

"These are three thousand spirit bullets. Each of you gets a thousand. Take them down and distribute them."

"I only have one request: make sure they adapt to these bullets as soon as possible."

"Yes, Duke."

Soon, the battle began again. Hordes of Dark Netherbirds appeared again, this time gathering near the passage as before.

This was because they had discovered that Allen's kingdom's holy domain experts were taking action. If they didn't send out their own holy domain experts, they couldn't resist at all. But if they did, they were afraid of being surrounded.

So they came up with this method: gather the Dark Netherbirds near the passage, and retreat as soon as they saw a holy domain expert appear. When things were quiet, they would come out again. It had to be said that this wretched method disgusted Allen and his people.

This was also the reason why the consumption of spirit bullets had been so fast these past two days. Only the small size of the bullets made it difficult to be discovered.

If Allen hadn't wanted to understand them to prevent heavy losses during the attack, someone would have already taken action to wipe them all out.

Today, some monkeys were sent out to fight, but they looked much stronger than the monkeys on the mainland (of Nono), and they were wearing armor and holding shields.

However, the styles of their armor seemed to be different, and so were the shields in their hands.

It seemed that those Source Worlds were completely treating Allen and his people as guinea pigs, even making different armors and shields to test their power.

However, Allen learned that the creatures of those Source Worlds worshiped physical strength and did not rely on external forces. He didn't expect them to have become so enlightened. Perhaps they had been stimulated by the firearms.

But Allen wouldn't let them get their way. He saw the soldiers wiping their firearms, preparing to shoot.

Allen called over Cruise, who was also the commander-in-chief of the battle.

"Your Majesty, you called for me?" Although the battle was about to begin, there was no dissatisfaction on Cruise's face. "Cruise, you've seen it too, haven't you? They're completely treating us as guinea pigs."

Chapter 487: Playing Unconventionally

Cruise nodded. "But Your Majesty, aren't we constantly learning about them too?"

Hearing Cruise's words, Allen smiled. "That's right, but I don't want them to have it so easy. Pass down the order, this time we won't use guns. Deploy the turrets and destroy them all."

For so many days, Allen and his people had not used the turrets, thanks to the efforts of ten thousand goblins.

Although their technology was not as good as Boltzmann's, it was still much stronger than ordinary alchemists.

With their help, the production of alchemical products such as comfortable houses, firearms, turrets, and energy blocks had greatly increased.

Now, a lot of energy blocks had been stored up. Of course, millions of gold coins had been spent again.

Cruise also knew Allen's thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face. "Yes."

Then, the monkeys saw that Allen and his people didn't fire their guns, and they became much bolder, baring their teeth and claws, and some even throwing the shields in their hands up in the air to play with.

However, they soon realized their mistake.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out in the middle of the monkey group, and many monkeys were killed or injured. The entire monkey group appeared panicked.

"Hahaha!" Immediately, the soldiers, who had long been dissatisfied with them, became very proud.

Boltzmann and his people had also listened to Allen's advice and adjusted some of the turrets.

They increased the explosive power of the shells after they landed, and correspondingly reduced the penetration power. Now it seemed that the effect was good.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Large and small turrets continued to fire, showing their power to these monkeys.

The monkeys were miserable. The armor on their bodies was only for dealing with firearms and could not withstand the shells of the turrets at all.

Those armors were like paper in front of the energy cannons, easily torn to pieces, let alone those seemingly sturdy monkeys.

This time, Allen didn't even need to set a fire. The entire battlefield was only left with the wreckage of some armor.

Standing behind Allen, Jackson exclaimed, "Although I've seen it countless times before, the power of this turret is still shocking."

"Today's scene will definitely shock them severely," Allen said, smiling as he looked at everything in front of him.

Jackson nodded heavily. "That's right. Seeing the turret for the first time, maybe they'll surrender directly."

(cfbh)

In Jackson's view, His Majesty was omnipotent. Those Source Worlds looked scary, but they definitely wouldn't last long. Surrendering early was the best choice.

"Hopefully," Allen said, looking at the dark hole, but he also knew that this situation was unlikely.

Soon, Allen saw that today's battle was over and left again.

He was still very busy, having to deal with government affairs and constantly urge Boltzmann and his people to speed up their progress.

He also had to prepare the materials for the upcoming counterattack on the Source World and ensure the supply of materials to the front lines.

Allen would also come over for a while every day when those guys from the Source World started fighting.

Seeing Allen leave, Jackson and Cruise did not dare to take it lightly. After all, although most of the time those Source Worlds were testing, they would send out a team at a set time every day.

And Allen's side would also use weapons to destroy them, almost forming a tacit understanding.

But no one knew if they would suddenly have a brain cramp and send someone to sneak attack, after all, war can be said to be the least ethical.

As the supreme commander, Cruise naturally had a lot on his plate.

Jackson, as Allen's personal guard, was mostly by Allen's side.

As for his Two-Headed Dragon Knight Corps, it was mostly managed by his adjutant.

At this moment, Garrosh and Rexxar were still managing the troops on the battlefield. "Garrosh, how proficient are your subordinates with mental bullets?" Rexxar approached, smiling at Garrosh.

There seemed to be many people here, but Garrosh was the only one Rexxar could greet so casually.

After all, Cruise was the supreme commander and a member of the Atyas Empire, having lived for thousands of years, so they really didn't have much in common with these young men.

And Jackson was a favorite in the King's presence, having also become a duke, so the gap between them was quite large.

Thus, Garrosh and Rexxar quickly became acquainted in just a few days.

Although Garrosh was a subject of Allen's when he was a marquis, and Rexxar was a subject of the Duchy of Charlotte, they had no barriers between them.

Rexxar was now looking for Garrosh to build rapport.

Garrosh also greeted Rexxar with a smile, "It's okay, their hit rate is almost ninety percent now."

Rexxar praised him with a smile, then looked at the passage ahead.

"Those damned Source World people are always hiding like mice, I don't know when they'll come out and have a good fight with us."

Now that Allen's kingdom was incredibly powerful, coupled with things like muskets and turrets, they didn't take the Source World seriously at all.

Rexxar and Garrosh were actually eager for war, after all, they had only just been promoted to the Holy Domain, and their foundations were very shallow, only by earning military merit could they consolidate their position.

Moreover, almost every Holy Domain powerhouse would have a title of nobility, this was an unwritten rule, although it was not known whether it was a duke or a marquis, Garrosh and the others naturally hoped for the higher the better.

And the hope for promotion lay in this battle.

"When do you think we can become true Dragon Knights?"

Rexxar nudged Garrosh, Garrosh mostly seemed a little dull, often listening while Rexxar spoke.

Everyone knew that the Allen Kingdom had some dragons.

Now that Rexxar and the others had become Holy Domain powerhouses, the next step was naturally thinking about becoming Dragon Knights.

"I'm afraid that's a little difficult, after all, even Grand Duke Copper Mountain and Grand Duke Iron Lizard are already rulers of a country, and they haven't become Dragon Knights."

Garrosh shook his head.

Rexxar said somewhat unconvinced: "That's because the dragons are still growing, I even heard the Grand Duke say that they will soon be able to become Dragon Knights, and we will definitely be like that then."

"Hopefully."

Rexxar was about to speak when his expression changed, looking towards the passage, Garrosh did the same.

Only to see another wave in the passage, and a huge humanoid monster walked out, actually having four faces and eight arms.

"Situation!"

Rexxar and Garrosh were shocked, and were about to order their subordinates to prepare for battle, but saw that the person waved his hand, not looking like he was hostile.

And he indeed didn't carry any weapons.

Chapter 488 Envoy from the Source World

"What's the situation?" Garrosh and Rexxar looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.

That person didn't have any weapons, and was alone, not looking like he was going to fight.

Taking a step closer, he shouted: "I am an envoy from the Roman Empire, requesting to see the King of the Allen Kingdom."

"Envoy? We are currently in a hostile situation, what are they sending an envoy for?" Garrosh was somewhat puzzled.

"Hmph, what empire, they really know how to put gold on their own faces." Rexxar looked at that person and was very unhappy. "Don't even mention empire, they don't deserve to be a kingdom."

Garrosh was not as impulsive as Rexxar, "This matter is not small, we must tell the Grand Duke as soon as possible."

Soon, even Cruise was alarmed and stood in front looking at the envoy.

"You are an envoy from the Source World, what are you here for?" Cruise frowned as he looked at him, also not understanding what the envoy was here for. However, the envoy didn't respond to Cruise, "I request to see the King of the Allen Kingdom."

"You fellow." The person behind Cruise was about to give him a lesson, but was stopped by Cruise. "Send him over and hand him over to the King."

Watching the envoy's departing figure, Rexxar asked Cruise somewhat puzzled, "Marshal, why are these guys suddenly sending an envoy?"

Cruise also shook his head, but he suddenly smiled, "Perhaps their so-called Majesty wants to surrender to us, who knows."

As soon as this sentence was said, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. "They shouldn't be useless, right, hahaha."

"That's right, surrendering like this is not enjoyable at all, there's no military merit."

Speaking of the palace, Allen was in the main hall discussing with the ministers.

Basculich said to Allen: "Your Majesty, these past few days we have sent iron carriages day and night, transporting a large amount of supplies to the front lines. Enough to guarantee the lives of a million troops for a month."

"Moreover, another 100,000 muskets have been produced."

Allen nodded, and was about to say something when someone suddenly requested to see him, saying that they had brought an envoy from the Source World.

"Envoy?" Allen was somewhat puzzled, they had fought a dozen battles with Allen, although they were all sending people to their deaths, but suddenly sending an envoy, Allen also didn't know what the situation was.

Could it be that they are here to sue for peace? Then should I disagree? Or disagree? Or disagree?

The ministers below were also very excited, "Your Majesty, why don't we meet this envoy first?"

Allen nodded, "Let him in."

Soon, an envoy from the humanoid race that Allen was familiar with walked into the hall.

It seems that the humanoid race has a high position in the Source World, the envoys are all from the humanoid race, Allen thought secretly.
