#343 - Section 343

Although their talents are not bad, none can compare to Annie's.

Being the top student in alchemy isn't just talk; Annie attends a school in the royal capital where there are definitely no shortage of talented children.

Initially, when Alan established the alchemy department, there was quite a bit of opposition. In the eyes of others, alchemists are definitely not a good thing.

However, with Alan's persistence, it was still established, and many alchemists were invited to be teachers. Boltzman and others would also go to lecture.

Of course, those evil knowledge would definitely not be taught.

"Actually, it's not that great," Annie said, feeling a bit embarrassed when she saw Cecilmina, Lucy, and Alan praising her.

"It can't fool those at the Legendary level, and it needs to be close to someone's aura. Just now, if Brother had carefully sensed, he could have discovered me."

"Also, it can only hide the aura; it can't make people invisible. Others can still see you at a glance."

Even so, Alan was still amazed and couldn't help but take another look.

Although what Annie said seemed useless, Alan still thought of a brilliant combination: Mina and her intelligence agency.

Whether it's hiding or assassination, absolute secrecy is required.

But this secrecy isn't just about others not seeing you; you also need to completely conceal your aura.

Otherwise, those experts can easily discover you. If you want to track a Golden Knight, you need another Golden Knight to do it without being detected.

Therefore, strength is also an important factor restricting Mina's intelligence agency.

Now, with this Aura Concealment Bead, it's no longer a problem.

Alan couldn't help but look at Annie. "Annie, is this bead expensive?"

He needed to ask clearly, but if it was too expensive, it could only be used in certain situations.

"Expensive?"

Annie tilted her head, pouting her lips as she thought for a moment.

"I don't know, but this Aura Concealment Bead used a small piece of a Saint-level magic stone, and a piece of green magic stone…"

Listening to Annie's words, Alan calculated in his mind. It seemed that such an Aura Concealment Bead would cost several million gold coins.

If it weren't for Annie having a brother like Alan, she really wouldn't be able to obtain those materials.

Are several million gold coins a lot?

Under normal circumstances, it's a lot. Some marquises' entire life savings are only this much.

But for this Aura Concealment Bead, it's really not much.

After all, it's something that can even deceive Alan. Dealing with ordinary Dragon Knights is almost a sure thing.

And Dragon Knights are the top combat power on the continent. With such an Aura Concealment Bead, it would be much easier for a Saint-level assassin to take care of a Dragon Knight. Isn't that worth it?

Seeing Alan's excited appearance, Annie was a little curious.

"Brother, is this thing useful?"

Alan looked at Annie. It was more than useful; it was simply amazing.

However, he was a little worried, looking at Annie. "Annie, are you willing to tell Brother the method?"

Boltzman and the others were cultivated by Alan, and their achievements were naturally Alan's as well, but Alan was a little worried that Annie wouldn't want to share her achievements with others.

"As long as it can help Brother, I'm willing," Annie said, smiling happily.

She finally had the power to help her brother, and Annie was overjoyed at the thought.

Seeing Annie like this, Alan felt a little ashamed of his thoughts just now.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to Teacher Boltzman's place. Can you be responsible for teaching them this?"

Annie was just a child after all, and she was excited at the thought of teaching her teachers something.

"Alan, it's said that there was a rebellion outside today. Did you mobilize the Royal Capital's Guards?" Cecilmina said with some concern.

Alan smiled. "It's nothing big, just those demihuman rebellions. It's already been resolved."

Then, Alan briefly told Cecilmina about what happened today.

"It's better to be careful with them," Cecilmina said with some worry.

Alan shook his head. "There's no better way now. We can only increase the strength of the army. I've already told Oliver to starve them for a few days and send two Golden Behemoths to guard them."

"I'm afraid that's not good in the long run. They might feel dissatisfied and rebel again."

Cecilmina frowned. Alan naturally knew this as well, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"That's all we can do for now. There's no better way. The things Boltzman and the others are researching haven't been successful, so we can only resort to violence."

"Moreover, they were originally the defeated. I'm being kind by letting them stay. If they still don't appreciate it after this lesson, I'll make them regret it."

Considering that Lucy and Annie were here, Alan didn't specifically say what he would do, but both Cecilmina and Alan understood.

Alan was very angry about this demihuman rebellion.

Although he had them do more things, they were originally prisoners. He hadn't mistreated them much.

If they still didn't know what was good for them and continued to oppose Alan, Alan wouldn't keep them around.

As for the worker issue, Alan didn't care much. Although they had helped a lot, he could just go back to the way things were before.

Moreover, when he conquered the Source World, how many demihumans couldn't he get?

It was just that he happened to be here this time. If he had important matters in the Source World and those guys rebelled again, who knew how many people would die.

Alan wouldn't risk the lives of his soldiers for some convenience.

"Brother, what did you ask Teacher Boltzman to make for you?"

Annie asked, pulling on Alan at this time. If Annie hadn't taken out that Aura Concealment Bead today, Alan probably wouldn't have cared about her words.

However, now that he knew Annie was a rare genius, Alan simply told Annie about this matter.

Chapter 511: Plan Changes

"A way to control them?"

Annie seemed thoughtful after hearing what Alan said.

"Annie, do you have any ideas?" Alan asked, looking at Annie. Although he didn't have much hope, he still asked.

Annie shook her head. "I don't know. I need to think about it carefully."

"It's okay. Today's Aura Concealment Bead is already very good. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out," Alan comforted Annie. "Boltzman and the others haven't succeeded in anything even now."

Although Alan said so, Annie was obviously not as relaxed as Alan said. After all, this was the first time Alan had asked Annie for help.

Annie made up her mind that she must do well.

The next day, Alan returned to the Source World again.

After all, conquering the Source World was the biggest goal of Alan's kingdom, and with so many troops here, Alan also needed to come and oversee.

The main camp was still in the same place, after all, this was the only passage connecting Alan's kingdom to the Source World, and the terrain was high, making it difficult to be ambushed.

At the same time, it was located in the middle of the two armies.

Marco, Thomas, Ryan, and Will had all been sent out by Cruise.

They all took their troops to station themselves, becoming a powerful deterrent around the railway.

Now the battle line was very long, and because Illidan had taken away a large number of people, they had been able to conquer smoothly along the way.

But there were still many who were not convinced and harassed them from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, those troops could solve them themselves.

But if they encountered too many Source Creatures, they could also reduce the loss of troops.

Moreover, no one knew where a Saint-level expert might be hiding.

Although this situation was rare, it could not be ignored, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

Therefore, apart from Cruise, Rexxar, and Garrosh, there were almost no Saints here.

When Alan arrived at the main camp, he saw the largest tent in the middle, which was where military matters were discussed.

Alan walked into the tent and saw Cruise and Garrosh standing in front of the tent, with Cruise talking to them.

It should be military deployment. Garrosh and Rexxar, as well as the knight orders in their hands, were not dispersed and sent to garrison troops like the other soldiers.

Firstly, there were too few of these knights, and even if they were dispersed, they couldn't watch over many places.

Moreover, their two knight orders were both air forces, with strong mobility, and could provide support at any time.

Seeing Alan, Cruise, Garrosh, and Rexxar quickly got up. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Yes."

Alan looked at the map and said with a smile, "Cruise, what are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, a group of Golden Knight-level Source Creatures has recently appeared in the Orba region. They have caused us a lot of casualties and destroyed a large number of railways. I plan to send them to support." Hearing Cruise's words, Alan also had a headache.

However, this kind of thing was unavoidable. After all, the battle line was so long that they couldn't be comprehensive.

There would always be some weak points that they could find and seize the opportunity.

Most of these demihumans were local residents, not regular troops.

Most of them were dissatisfied with Alan's kingdom's invasion and joined forces with those Source Creatures to attack the army.

This had happened too many times. Because they were locals, they were much more familiar with the area than Alan and the others, and they often couldn't catch them.

Moreover, Illidan had only withdrawn the soldiers, but he had left some people behind. Those people took the locals and fought against Alan and the others, causing Alan and the others a lot of trouble.

Obviously, they also knew the importance of the iron carriages, and most of them were centered around the iron carriages, destroying quite a few.

If they couldn't find the iron carriages, they would destroy the railways, which made Cruise and the others very angry.

But before, they were at most Silver or Bronze Knight strength, and most of the time they dared to destroy the railways when there was no one around.

Or they would only attack them when they found loopholes, but this time, the discovery of many Golden Knights was definitely a considerable force.

He didn't know how Illidan would let them outside. This time, Cruise was serious.

Although the ones sent out were all Silver Knights, there were nearly 20,000 of them, and there were also two Saint-level experts, Garrosh and Rexxar.
