Chapter 1417: 　Empire Messenger

Allen looked at him up and down and said, "Are you serious?"
Melanie was noncommittal.
"Okay, then my answer is this." Allen shook his hand and took out the Scarlet King from the space wrist wheel. The long knife was flat against Melanie's shoulder, and the blade was only a few inches away from the side of his neck. As long as Alan wanted, he didn't even need to make any movements, just exhaling a sword breath, it was enough to cut Melanie's fragile neck.
"Space equipment?" Melanie's pupils shrank, and the tone finally changed.
Allen nodded: "The spoils you got from Baal. Okay, Mr. Melanie, ask again, would you like to manage Mocdan for me?"
"If I refuse, you will kill me?"
"Yes, after all, I don’t have so much time to entangle this issue with you, and I don’t worry about someone who knows Mokdan staying in this prison. I’m not Gurant, so I don’t have that kind of leisure and leisure. patient."
"Then another question, if I agree, what good is it?"
Allen laughed and spit out two words from his mouth: "Freedom."
"free?"
"Yes, as long as you serve me for three years. In addition to managing Mokdan well in these three years, you will also train me in internal affairs. If you do these two points, you will be free after three years. Go or stay, it's easy to listen to it." Allen said "Oh", "Of course, if I die in battle, then you will be free immediately."
"That's not enough." Melanie shook his head and raised a finger: "During my service, I demanded that I be paid according to the salary the empire gave to the consul of Shigecheng. At the same time, I want to get back what I belonged to My property. Everything!"
"Of course." Allen retracted the red king: "Then what does Mr. Melanie mean?"
"Of course I agree, Lord Allen seems to have not given me the third option, and death is definitely not in my choice. Otherwise, do you think I was in a cell for three years to wait for death?"
Alan then threw the Scarlet King back to the Space Bindings, and then called the warden to bring Melanie a clean set of clothes. The man in the new clothes followed Alan out of the prison. He squinted his eyes in the sun again, and muttered, "The air outside is better."
"That's for sure." Allen said to the warden next to him: "Call your men and report to the military department in the afternoon."
The warden was stunned, looked at the prison behind him and said, "My lord, what about here?"
Allen patted Melanie on the shoulder and smiled: "Everyone is out, and what are you doing in a prison? Don't waste my money."
The warden quickly answered yes.
Melanie looked at Allen's eyes slightly changed: "This prison can't cost much, right?"
"It's not much, but now I am very poor." Allen smiled.
Then the two got into the car and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion. Allen introduced Melanie to Gris, and said to him: "I will leave for a few days. I hope that when I come back, you can plan this The city's next exhibition plan."
"I want to know what the adults expect for this city?"
"A solid late-stage base, enough to support the one I hit under the magic ring city."
Melanie was stunned for two seconds before squeezing a few words out of his mouth: "My lord, your heart is so big."
Allen laughed and walked towards the door.
Melanie stopped him again: "My lord, you are antagonizing the Shadow Empire. Normally, your Majesty the Border Rebellion may not intervene, but if he comes in person, what shall you do?"
"If Spinak comes, I will fight him. The result will be known after the fight, right?" Allen said, "Any other questions?"
"No more."
Allen left, Melanie looked at the closed door and muttered, "Is he confident or stupid?"
"This question, as long as you stay with him, you won't know the answer." Griiss said with a smile.
Melanie nodded, and then asked Gris about Mocdan's current situation. He has been in prison for three years, and there is still a lot to know.
In the afternoon, a fleet lifted off at Mokdan Port, and a total of more than 100 warships broke through the air. Allen was on one of the battleships. At this moment, in front of his eyes, an officer was showing him a map of the southern front of the empire. Taking Mokdan as a starting point, this road goes north, and there are three cities within two hundred kilometers. Two of them are of average size, but the other undercurrent city cannot be taken lightly.
The Undercurrent City is presided over by an imperial general. This city is not as large as Mokdan, but is above the other two cities. Undercurrent City is the largest concentration of workshops on the southern border. The Dark Night Mountain Range backed by it produces several precious minerals, one of which is called Night Iron, which is an important material for starship shell armor. Most of the workshops in Undercurrent City process the collected night iron into iron embryos, and then sell them to other places.
Allen put his hands heavily on the undercurrent city, which was the main goal of his trip, and secondly was to include the other two cities. After this operation, the hundreds of square kilometers along the southern border of the empire was his control area. Until then, Alan's territory will have depth.
Two hundred kilometers under the airship's speed came in a blink of an eye, and when the alarm sounded over the undercurrent city, Allen had already jumped off the airship. Below him, there is an energy shield that rises desperately, but unfortunately the grade is too far away from the gem wall. Allen didn't even use the Hymn of Destruction. He only took out the Scarlet King, swept across the city, and exploded the shield that had just been closed in one burst.
When the shield shattered, a powerful Qi machine rose up in the city, but no matter how you looked at this Qi machine, there was a suspicion of being strong from the outside.
In two days, Allen swept three cities including Undercurrent. The general of Undercurrent City immediately abandoned his weapon and surrendered after receiving Allen's knife, making it clear that the shot was just a gesture, so as to give the empire an explanation. Allen was angry and funny, but didn't kill him, instead let the general named Zhuo De continue to manage the Undercurrent City. Such a relaxed attitude made the general surprised and suspicious. After several trials and a few results, he did not dare to be surprised and obediently obey orders.
It didn't take Alan an hour to go from the airborne undercurrent city to controlling the city. If Zhuo De had a different intention, the time would only be shorter next time. And next time, he has no chance to surrender. Zhuo De also knew this, so he chose to do what he ordered. Unless Alan was killed by the Empire, it would be another matter.
After spending more than a day to secure control, Allen left the fleet and soldiers, and returned to Morkdan by himself.
This trip took four days.
Four days is enough for Melanie to make an initial plan.
"Since the adults hope that Mokdan can become a logistics base needed to support your war, it means that the city needs to have workshops that recruit and train soldiers, master a large amount of minerals, and have the ability to process these minerals, and even We need an arsenal that can open and produce weapons and equipment on our own. As for spaceships and chariots, I personally tend to buy them. After all, to build a production line in this area, the budget to invest in is too large, and it can’t be formed within a few years Assembly line operation."
In the study, Melanie briefly stated his plan. In general, Melanie intends to start from the root cause. The big bosses from various trading houses in Mokdan have invested in the construction of a series of processing workshops to at least ensure that weapons and equipment can be produced on their own. This saved Alan a lot of money. At the same time, they opened up some trade routes and sold the abyss crystals in the relics to Duobia in exchange for their spaceship chariots.
In addition, there are other plans. These plans seem to have nothing to do with each other, but if carefully considered, when the goals of these plans are achieved, the strength of the entire Morkdan will be multiplied several times. If the governance is also divided into levels, then Melanie's governance ability should be in the top group. The height of his focus is like ordinary people can't see the scenery in Alan's eyes. God knows where Gulant recruited such talents, but leaving him in a cell for three years~EbookFREE.me~ is really a violent thing. But then again, if Gurant hadn't been vacant for Melanie for three years, I don't know what Mokdan would be like now, I'm afraid Allen would have to work harder to get in.
Thinking of this, Allen had to thank Gurant for being suspicious.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the butler came in and said with a flustered face: "My lord, there was a message from the military department just now."
"What message?"
"It's from the magic ring city, saying that there will be an envoy to see you tomorrow for the captive ransom. However, that envoy is not an ordinary person."
Allen said "Oh" and asked, "Who is it?"
"I heard it was Lord Lamer."
Melanie squeezed his whole body when he heard the name, and lost his voice: "Lamer?"
The butler nodded.
Melanie immediately looked at Allen: "My lord, then you have to be more careful. Lamer is a general of the empire, but he can't make it into the top three. But in other respects, he is not as dangerous as other generals, especially assassinations. On the one hand, Lamer is simply the ancestor of all the assassins in the entire empire. He has come to Mokdan in person this time, you have to guard against him."
"I have also heard of his foul name. Speaking of which, I knocked out their stronghold in the Wasteland. Don't worry, I won't take it lightly." Allen thought that it was Belmod and Tracey. Li Jiao is by his side. Although the two of them are not better than the generals of the empire, they are also good at concealed assassination. With them by his side, if Lamura wants to do anything, he will be able to detect some clues.
At noon the next day, a fleet with the Empire logo came to Morkdan. This fleet is basically composed of transport ships. After docking at the airship port, one of the airships has some people out of the hatch. He squinted his eyes and sighed: "It didn't take long before he left, and he came to this place where the bird doesn't again. It's bad luck."
