#281 - Section 281
Allen stood there blankly for a long time, then gave up.
Holding a bone, Allen returned to the wall, and everyone gathered around when they saw him.
“Lord, have you thought of a solution?” Allen looked around and decided not to reveal the truth, so as not to dampen morale. “It's nothing, it's just that the skeletons changed color after they died, no need to worry.”
Hearing the lord say this, the warriors were relieved. The lord was invincible and naturally wouldn't be wrong.
“However, you must not touch those bones in the future, try to keep them at a distance and don't let them get close.” Allen had no choice. Thinking about the terror of the Abyss, he could only try to prevent his soldiers from being contaminated.
For the first time, Allen felt extremely棘手(棘手 - troublesome). After all, they couldn't abandon Sphyt City because of possible Abyss contamination.
Not to mention the serious consequences that this would cause, what if the following skeletons were all like this?
They couldn't just keep retreating, could they? Now Allen could only try his best to prevent them from being infected by the Abyss's contamination.
Just as he was speaking, a large number of skeletons began their daily siege activities, slowly approaching Sphyt City.
Whether it was because of preconceived notions or not, Allen always felt that there seemed to be a faint trace of black gas surrounding them.
Seeing them staggering over, a surge of anger rose in Allen's heart, growing stronger and stronger…
The shock he felt upon learning the news, the painstaking preparations he had made over the past three months, and the worries after repeated battles, all turned into anger in his heart, growing more and more intense.
Allen suddenly flew over the heads of the skeletons. A huge and magnificent magic array appeared a few kilometers outside Sphyt City, one in the sky and one on the ground, echoing each other.
At the same time, Allen also summoned Phil. He stood on Phil's head, holding a giant sword, looking very majestic.
Phil let out an angry roar, spewing dragon breath, and hardly any skeletons below could resist. Large swathes of skeletons turned into ashes.
Allen was also waving the long sword in his hand, sending out shocking sword energies that stretched for hundreds of meters, their power even more astonishing.
The sword energy tore huge gaps in the ground below, and the skeletons were even more miserable, being routed by Allen's attacks.
At the same time, the two huge magic arrays began to echo each other, lighting up with red light and beginning to operate.
Instantly, thunder roared down from the sky, and many flames suddenly appeared on the ground.
The entire battlefield was like this, with thunder and flames constantly annihilating the skeletons. Moreover, Allen and Phil were constantly exerting their strength. Instantly, one man and one dragon blocked the entire battlefield.
The warriors were all on the wall, holding their breath and watching this amazing scene. Allen was stepping on a flying dragon, surrounded by thunder and flames, as if he were a god, inspiring awe.
Before long, Allen had completely cleared the entire battlefield. Not only the skeletons that had attacked today, but even the bones on the previous battlefield were completely destroyed by Allen's magic array, leaving no trace.
This was because Allen was somewhat uneasy about those bones. After all, they were likely related to the Abyss's contamination, and this matter could not be taken lightly.
He simply used the magic array to destroy them all, leaving no trace.
After doing all this, Allen saw the ground below, which was devoid of any traces except for dirt, and only then did he feel that the fire in his heart had subsided a lot.
At this time, the warriors on Sphyt City were cheering for Allen, looking very excited.
“Lord! Lord!”
Chapter 405: The Envoy of the Norton Kingdom
Allen returned to Sphyt City and waved to the excited crowd with a smile before returning to his residence.
He still wanted to ask Cecilmina why those bones had turned into that appearance.
This matter remained in his heart like a stone.
Back at his residence, Cecilmina was indeed there, looking worried. She hurriedly smiled when she saw Allen. “Allen, you're back.”
Allen hugged Cecilmina with some heartache and said to her, “Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to relieve the suffering of the citizens of the Ates Empire.” “I believe you, Allen.” Cecilmina looked at Allen and said gently.
“Allen, is that you?” Lucy came skipping from the backyard with a large bouquet of flowers in her hands, looking excited. “Hmph.”
Seeing Cecilmina and Allen hugging, Lucy immediately became unhappy. She put down the flowers and stretched out her hands for a hug as well.
Allen smiled and hugged Lucy when he saw her like this.
Lucy was being held by Allen, looking very pleased, and rubbed against him in his arms.
Allen thought of the business he had come for and said to Lucy in his arms, “Lucy, go back first. I have something to say to Cecilmina. I'll come find you after I'm done.” After all, it was a bone, and its color was still very abnormal. He was afraid of scaring Lucy.
“No, why do you have something to hide from me?” Lucy raised her head and looked at Cecilmina and Allen vigilantly.
“Be good, listen to me. I really have something important to talk to Cecilmina about.” Allen patiently persuaded.
“Allen, please.” Seeing Allen's firm attitude, Lucy knew that nothing she said would work, so she simply looked at Allen with a pair of clear, big eyes.
“Alright, alright, then you can stay here, but don't blame me for not reminding you later.” Allen couldn't resist Lucy's coquetry and let her stay.
Anyway, this wasn't something that needed to be hidden from her. When she saw the bone, she would definitely run away in fright.
Cecilmina watched Allen and Lucy without saying a word, smiling as she looked at the two of them.
“Cecilmina, take a look at this.” Allen took out the black bone and handed it to Cecilmina.
“Ah!” Lucy exclaimed when she saw the bone, but she didn't run away as Allen had expected. It seemed that she wasn't that timid after all.
“There's the aura of the Abyss on this!” Cecilmina's expression changed drastically as soon as she saw the bone, and she grabbed it.
“What? Cecilmina, are you serious?” Allen was also shocked.
“Of course it's true. I was tormented by the Abyss for so long that I had to self-seal myself. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would still be at the bottom of the sea.”
Speaking of this, Ceciliana looked at Allen with affection, and then said, "Now, I can be said to be the one who knows the abyss best, and I will definitely not be wrong."
"Since the abyss pollution has appeared, it seems we have to retreat." Allen had to make the worst plan when he heard this.
"It shouldn't be that bad yet." Ceciliana shook her head.
"The abyss pollution on this bone doesn't seem to be much, just a trace, and it doesn't hurt others. Allen, where did you get this from?"
"This morning, the dead bones outside suddenly turned black, but those undead didn't seem to change, they were still the same."
Ceciliana nodded, "It should be the same as I guessed, otherwise they wouldn't have turned into this after a few days."
While Allen and Ceciliana were talking, Lucy had already arrived in the backyard. Although she was not frightened by the bone.
However, as a Holy Fairy, she possesses the power of life and has a natural rejection of these deaths and the abyss.
"The situation is getting worse and worse." Allen frowned. Now, in order to be on the safe side, he really wanted to retreat, after all, the soldiers here are all elites of the Allen Principality. If they are lost, the Allen Principality will be seriously injured.
Ceciliana was also silent, after all, she didn't know what to say, now it can be said that it is a dilemma.
Just then, Marco came to report to Allen.
"Duke, the envoy from the Norton Kingdom has arrived, and it is said that they are here to assist us."
Marco had a smile on his face. He had been depressed these days, and he could see that the Duke was also very troubled by the monsters outside.
Now with the support of the kingdom, it should be much better.
"Envoy?" Allen instinctively felt that things were not that simple.
Now it is only the third day of the war, and the surrounding coastal countries have been defeated one after another. The Lane Principality only has some masters resisting on the border.
The Chomley Principality and the Hilton Principality further back have also suffered heavy casualties, but now the Allen Principality is doing well.
Moreover, the Allen Principality's turrets, shields, dragon blood knights, and three major knight orders all show amazing strength.
This is not the strength that a principality can have, it is already close to the Norton Kingdom.
The Norton Kingdom is now overwhelmed. The best way is to let the Allen Principality stand in front, and they will guard other places.
This will maximize the benefits, not only weaken the strength of the Allen Principality, but also better resist this crisis. How can they be so kind and come to help the Allen Principality uninvited.
"How many people did they send?"
"Only the envoy is one person." Marco said.
"Then did he bring any aid materials?" Allen continued to ask.
"Uh, no." Marco also felt something was wrong, and said in a low voice, "Duke, are you saying they have a problem?"
"Maybe!" Allen shrugged, "But I can guarantee that they are definitely not here to help."
Although Allen felt muttered in his heart, his feet kept walking towards the waiting hall. He also wanted to see what medicine the Norton Kingdom was selling in the gourd.
When Allen arrived there, he saw a young man standing in the middle of the hall.
Seeing Allen, he said with a smile, "Duke Allen, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Allen was also a little happy, "It turns out to be you, Duke Will."
How could the Norton Kingdom send a Duke to be an envoy? Allen felt that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Duke Will and Allen sat down, and he said to Allen with a smile, "Duke Allen, our Norton Kingdom also deeply sympathizes with the Allen Principality's situation. This is a crisis for the entire continent. The Norton Kingdom, as the lord, is willing to support the Allen Principality."
Allen smiled and played Tai Chi with Duke Will, "The Norton Kingdom can provide support, and our Allen Principality is naturally very happy."
Chapter 406: Failed Negotiations
"Our Norton Kingdom has decided to support the Allen Principality, and I am here on the order of the king."
Duke Will paused and continued, "The Norton Kingdom has decided to support 10,000 Bronze Knights, 1,000 Silver Knights, and 10 Gold Knights."
Duke Will's move shocked Allen. Is the Norton Kingdom worried that there are too many knights and they take up too much space?
Duke Will looked at Allen's reaction and was very satisfied. He continued, "There are also 100 advanced magicians, 1,000 intermediate magicians, and 50,000 advanced magic stones and 100,000 magic potions…"
Listening to Duke Will say this, if he wasn't sure that he was Duke Will, he would have suspected that the Norton Kingdom deliberately sent someone to play with him.
After all, the supplies they support are too scary, almost comparable to a weak principality.
This is not how support is given. As a vassal, the Norton Kingdom does need to provide certain support to the Allen Principality when it encounters danger, but this kind of thing will not be too much, just like the envoy sent by the Norton Kingdom before.
Most of the time, it's just a token gesture. Some stingy kingdoms may not even bother with you. In such a situation, you have to swallow your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.
Duke Will smiled with satisfaction when he saw Allen's heart moved, and then said.
"However, our Norton Kingdom also has a request. As long as the Duke agrees, our Norton Kingdom will send these support immediately."
Sure enough, the fox's tail is showing, and Allen is not surprised. After all, as long as he is not stupid, he will not believe that the Norton Kingdom will let him get so many benefits for nothing.
Not to mention anything else, now it is Duke Will who has come, but the other things are not in sight.
"Duke Will, just say it, I will try my best to do what I can." No matter what the reason, Allen still wanted to fight for such a big fortune.
However, he was not so stupid as to agree immediately, but just said that he would try his best, and it would be fine to refuse directly if it didn't work out.
"Then I'll say it. r ." Duke Will looked at Allen, "Our Norton Kingdom hopes to cooperate with the Allen Principality in wartime."
