From Baron to Lord

Alan had seen humanoid creatures before, so he was relatively calm.

But the others were seeing such strange fellows for the first time, which inevitably caused a stir.

The envoy looked at their reaction and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Envoy of the Roman Empire greets King Alan."

The envoy stepped forward, not even kneeling, only slightly lowering his head.

"Bold! Seeing His Majesty, why do you not kneel?" The envoy's actions aroused dissatisfaction among many, and Baskerville, as Prime Minister, naturally stood out and rebuked him angrily.

However, the envoy didn't even glance at him, "As an imperial envoy, how can I kneel to a kingdom's monarch?"

"You call yourselves an empire? Even the empire is self-proclaimed."

"As the masters of the Source World, why can't we ennoble ourselves?"

"Alright." Alan interrupted them, if he let them continue arguing, who knew when it would end.

"As an envoy, you're not here just to argue with us, are you?"

"Of course not." The envoy said to Alan: "Our Emperor is willing to sign an agreement with Your Majesty, so that the two countries will never invade each other."

"What?" Alan thought he had misheard. Were they really here to surrender?

"Are you here to surrender?"

The envoy's face turned red, but it wasn't visible on his blue-black face, "We are talking about non-aggression, not surrender."

Alan couldn't help but want to laugh. How could there be such a good thing?

You started the war, and now that you realize you can't win, you want to stop the war?

"If that's what you're here to say, then you can go back." Alan had no desire to talk.

However, the envoy was expressionless, as if he had expected this... Seeking flowers.

"Since our goodwill is not accepted, then we have decided to let Your Majesty see the courage of our Roman Empire."

"Ten days later, we will challenge Your Majesty outside the passage."

"So, you're here to deliver a challenge?" Alan probably guessed their intentions.

Since war was inevitable, and they were finding it increasingly difficult to obtain information from Alan, and just today, they sent a bunch of monkeys, only to be blown away by his cannons.

Now it seemed that, in order to prevent their strength from being damaged and to prevent Alan from learning more information, starting the war now was indeed a good plan.

"That's right, we hope to have a ten-day truce, and then we hope Your Majesty will start the war with us again."

They not only gained a ten-day respite, but also a great opportunity to send troops.

You must know that the passage is only so big, and as the attacking side in the Source World, they could only send so many soldiers at a time, and were often met with a head-on blow by Alan and his forces.

Now, if Alan agreed, they could completely send out all their troops without panic.

The ministers were not stupid either, and they quickly realized this.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty!" Baskerville said anxiously.

"We currently have the advantage, and due to the passage, we have gained many advantages. Once we agree to a truce, they will get a rare opportunity."

Hearing Baskerville's words, the envoy showed a brief moment of panic, but he still said: "It seems that Your Majesty is afraid, then you might as well agree to our peace treaty."

"You..." Baskerville was so angry that he wanted to punch him, but fortunately Oliver held him back, otherwise it would be hard to say who would beat whom.

This was a conspiracy. It would be best if Alan agreed, and they would get a rare opportunity.

If he didn't agree, they wouldn't lose anything, but they could ridicule Alan, which they would definitely publicize.

Alan couldn't help but admire them, but he didn't hesitate, "I agree to your request, I will start the war with you on time in ten days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Alan's words, the envoy was overjoyed and quickly retreated.

Baskerville and the others were even more anxious, but considering the outsiders, they didn't speak. Several.

Chapter 489 Miscalculation!

Watching the envoy leave, Baskerville could no longer hold back, "Your Majesty!"

Alan waved his hand, stopping Baskerville from what he was about to say.

"I have already decided, and besides, this matter may not necessarily be beneficial to them."

"Do you still remember why Duke Purgatory failed?" Alan looked at them and said slowly.

Baskerville immediately became less anxious and thoughtful.

"When Duke Purgatory was fighting outside, he was like us, winning repeatedly, but after entering the Source World, it was very different."

"Not only was the will of the entire world against them, but also the creatures of the Source World harassed them batch after batch, and finally they couldn't bear the burden."

"Who do you think is stronger, Duke Purgatory or our Alan Kingdom?" Alan looked at Baskerville.

"Naturally, it is our Alan Kingdom." Baskerville did not hesitate at all. Although he had not been completely brainwashed, the development of the Alan Kingdom during this period had shocked him.

Especially a few days ago, Alan took Baskerville to see the muskets and turrets, which really shocked him.

Now Baskerville is very proud of the Alan Kingdom, and naturally does not allow others to look down on the Alan Kingdom.

"Although our Alan Kingdom was established for less time than Duke Purgatory, and the number of knights is not as good as the Alan Duchy."

"But the number of our Saint Realm experts is much more than them, and we have turrets and muskets, enough to allow ordinary people to exert the power of knights."

"On this point alone, our Alan Kingdom is much stronger than Duke Purgatory." Baskerville said, puffing out his chest.

"Well, not bad." Alan looked at Baskerville and smiled: "In this way, can we persist under the endless harassment of those Source World creatures?"

“This.” Baskerville wasn't stupid and naturally knew what the result would be if that happened.

“So we absolutely cannot be careless.” Allen knew the key to this battle. “The most important thing isn’t how well we fight, but how many enemies we eliminate.”

“If we continue like this, we won’t be able to eliminate many people at all. When we attack the Origin World, the enemy’s combat power will definitely be more than this.”

“And now, I’ve agreed to their decisive battle. Although we’ve given up those advantages, even so, are we not their match?”

Allen smiled as he looked at Baskerville. “Of course not. We have muskets and artillery, plus so many strong individuals. We’re already invincible.”

“Then isn’t that enough?” Allen spread his hands. “We can take this opportunity to eliminate more enemies. This is our battlefield, and we’ve made a lot of preparations.”

“Eliminating them here will be much easier than eliminating them in their Origin World battlefield.”

With the experience of his previous life, Allen knew that the most crucial thing was never the spoils of war, but the number of enemies eliminated.

Lose the land but keep the people, and you can regain both. Keep the people but lose the land, and you can regain the land.

Allen knew this principle well.

Baskerville suddenly understood. “Your Majesty is wise.”

“They aren’t fools either. After a few major battles, they’ll realize it. When that time comes, we’ll launch a counterattack on the Origin World.”

“Baskerville, I didn’t agree to Marco and the others sending troops before. But now, you can send people over and have them come themselves.” “Having one more Saint Domain is a good thing.” “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Also, Oliver, is what I asked you to prepare ready?” Allen turned his gaze to Oliver.

Oliver looked at Allen, very pleased. “Your Majesty, it’s already prepared. We’ve already made ten thousand miles of railway parts. As long as we get to the Origin World, we can quickly lay the railway.” Allen asked Oliver to prepare a large number of parts so that he could lay the railway as quickly as possible upon reaching the Origin World.

The railway will definitely be a transportation weapon at that time. As long as we deploy troops along the railway and build fortresses, we’ll be set.

Although the Infernal Duke didn’t know why he lost, Allen wouldn’t repeat his mistakes.

These railways will be sharp blades piercing the heart of the Origin World.

“Yes, but we still need to speed up. Also, the production of muskets in those factories needs to be further accelerated.” The next day, Allen came to the great desert, but the desert had completely changed…

All that could be seen were countless creatures going in and out of the cave, constantly carrying away the yellow sand and bringing back large piles of stones.

At this time, a small area of the ten-mile desert had turned into stone ground, and the terrain looked much higher than before, already level with Allen and the outer warriors.

“What are they doing?” Allen was a little anxious. He had actually forgotten this point. He had carved many magic arrays in the desert, as many as hundreds or thousands. He was preparing to give those Origin Creatures a big surprise when they fought.

In order to prevent them from discovering it, Allen had asked those magicians to spend a lot of effort to hide the magic arrays, which cost a lot.

Moreover, Allen was confident that they in the Origin World only trained their bodies and were not good at magic. He had been careful enough and would definitely not be discovered.

Now it seems that they didn’t discover it, but they were also very cautious, directly transforming such a large desert, making all of Allen’s efforts in vain.

After all, simply transforming the terrain doesn’t require digging away all the sand.

Had he known, Allen had buried no less than ten thousand magic stones alone, not to mention other precious magic materials.

Now seeing them treated like broken stones, he definitely didn’t feel good.

He just kept silently reciting, waiting until he defeated them, these things wouldn’t be able to escape by then.

However, the construction speed of those Origin Creatures was not slow either. In less than a day, they had transformed such a large area.

Allen thought silently in his heart that when he conquered them, they would definitely be another group of infrastructure experts no less than the Beastmen.

After watching for a while, Allen lost his patience and called Cruise over. “You must pay attention to their every move to prevent them from playing tricks.” Cruise looked at Allen, “Your Majesty means…”

“They aren’t that honest. Although we’ve agreed to fight in ten days, no one knows if they’ll sneak attack.”

In order to eliminate more enemies, Allen would naturally not launch a war in advance.

But those Origin Creatures were hard to say.

Chapter 490 Golden Behemoth, New Dragon Knight!

After instructing Cruise, Allen returned to the Royal Capital.

Perhaps because of the war, the current Royal Capital was a bit deserted than before, with some warriors passing by from time to time.

But overall, it was still very good. As the Royal Capital of Allen’s Kingdom, the Royal Capital was still very lively.

Arriving at the Dragon Nest, Allen couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the more than ninety light spheres in front of him.

The colors of these light spheres had changed from the original dark gold to light gold, and they were no longer as full of life as before, jumping from time to time.

Now the light spheres didn’t have a trace of reaction. Instead, there were wild beasts with some amazing auras inside.

Allen looked at these light spheres, felt the power inside, and was extremely excited.

Although the general reason he gave to those guys in the Origin World was similar to theirs, there was still one reason he didn’t say.
