Chapter 319: 　 foothold

In terms of true strength, Baku would not be able to catch up with Caesar. But Caesar never thought that his brother, who could give up his life two years ago to shield him from the sword, stabbed himself with a sharp edge tonight. Baku drew out the long knife, held his hands back, and had to stabbing again. Caesar roared, the source force surged, and the crystal spear in his hand shot out like lightning.
Baku can only slash with a long knife and slash at the tip of the spear. The two sides Yuanli made a fierce collision on the tip of the blade and spear, Baku lost, and the whole person flew out. Caesar also felt weak, holding the crystal spear unsteadily and letting it fly out. Baku spit out blood and stood up again with the knife in his hand. Caesar glanced at him, and took advantage of the chaos to leave.
Before dawn, the battle was over. Storm City’s army withdrew in an orderly manner under the command of Leigh. The troops they left behind were very brave. They desperately held the Bymon soldiers and prevented them from chasing their team. In the end, the troops also died tragically. .
In this battle, Storm City left the corpses of more than two hundred soldiers, and the Bymon paid half of the soldiers' sacrifices. In contrast, Allen’s people only hurt. But first they did not participate in the frontal confrontation with Storm City, and secondly the soldiers were well-equipped. This result was also in Allen's expectation.
The only thing he didn't expect was the death of Caesar. When Baku held Caesar's crystal spear and announced that the headman had been killed by Storm City's army, Alan even doubted his ears. Afterwards, the Bymon searched for Caesar's body and the final result left Allen with more questions.
But for the hostile Baku, Allen did not raise his own question, he just left silently with his own people.
After returning to their stronghold in the Aspen Mountains, Edward and Belmode came secretly to Sur City. Because the Baron York was killed in battle, Ethan, who was related to him by blood, officially inherited his title and power on the second day after the baron’s body was buried under the support of the Imperial Constitution. But this is not enough for Ethan to secure his position as City Lord. He still needs to make more political achievements or military exploits to ensure this position until he gets old.
Otherwise, the empire can assign others to be the masters of Suhl City. Of course, the premise is that the sight of the Balekan Empire will pay attention to this border land.
After Ethan became the new Baron, Edward met him quietly, and then Baron Ethan was surrounded by Belmode. He will stay to protect Ethan to survive a turbulent period of power transfer between old and new. Sure enough, in the next few days, there were two attacks on Ethan in the city lord's mansion, both of which were successfully stopped by Belmode.
He was originally a master of assassination, but in Suhl, no one has assassination skills above Belmode. Naturally, those little tricks can't escape the eyes of this dark master. With his protection, Ethan is safe. At the same time, through Belmode, Ethan intuitively recognized Edward and the strength of the Young Master Ellen behind him for the first time.
Ethan knows very well that Belmode can protect him. When necessary, he can kill himself quietly. So soon, the identity documents about Allen and others were ordered, and several people, including Allen, all had legal identities in Suhl City. The imperial seal on the identity certificate was enough to allow Allen and the others to pass through the territory of the Balekan Empire unimpeded.
After receiving this news, Allen and others began to pack their things and prepare to officially enter Suhr City. They disguised the starship and left two soldiers to guard. As for the others, including the logistics team, they were taken away by Allen, who can play other roles in Suhl. In order to show his importance, Ethan also sent several carriages for Allen and the others to use. Allen is also happy to hide things that are incompatible with this world, such as magic armor and fierce fire rifles.
The soldiers all took off the armor and related weapons of the Flame War soldiers, put on the clothes and swords that Edward had brought, and disguised themselves as caravan guards. As the team set off, Allen glanced in the direction of the Aspen Mountains in the car, and he finally completed the first step to gain a foothold in the new world.
Baku slipped from the canopy of an old tree, and he watched the convoy leave. Under the tree, dozens of Bymon warriors also witnessed what happened at the foot of the mountain. Baku pointed Caesar's crystal spear and said, "You see, I said that these people had colluded with Suer City. Look, they are riding in the carriage of Suhl City. Caesar's death must have nothing to do with them!"
A Bymon soldier said solemnly, "Now that Caesar is killed in battle, please lead us, Baku. We want to avenge Caesar!"
"Yes, Caesar's hatred can't be forgotten. But my brother, we can't help those people alone. No, even if we gather the power of other people, we can't do it. Unless..." Baku said in a deep voice. : "Unless I enter the ancestor's cemetery and release the demon!"
Warriors look at me, I look at you. The previous warrior gritted his teeth and said: "We support you, Baku. Let the devil destroy that city!"
Baku clenched the crystal spear tightly: "Go and gather everyone together, we have to talk to King Kong."
The carriage was swaying, which made people worry about whether it would fall apart in the next moment. Before the emergence of vehicles such as cars, there was naturally no so-called anti-vibration system. Therefore, driving on a bumpy road is definitely not comfortable.
"Perhaps we can build the world's first car." Allen leaned on the carriage's window frame and said, "This thing will throw me out."
Edward, who sat opposite him, smiled and said, "Then you have to get in touch with the earth first, and then get the accurate coordinates of this planet, then you can bring the relevant talents and resources. Then don't talk about cars, even the spacecraft. It can be made. In that case, we will expand much faster."
"That's not impossible, but judging from the current military power of this planet, let alone spaceships. As long as we can build tanks, we can completely change the pattern of war on this planet." Allen Said: "But it's a priority. I think we should build an arsenal in the city of Suhl, so that we can produce standard guns and ammunition first. This is much easier than tanks."
"We are lucky. This is the border of the empire. At least, it won't attract much attention." Edward said.
"Speaking of empire..." Allen said solemnly: "You have been to many planets, have you seen other humans besides the earth?"
Edward shook his head.
"So I think this is very strange, why there are humans on this planet, and the civilization is very similar to us." Allen looked at the world outside the window: "I always feel that this planet has some kind of secret. Something huge. secret!"
"Even if there is, we have to wait until we are strong enough to be qualified to explore." Edward said: "Compared to the unknown secret, I think your arsenal is more a headache. Don't forget, the productivity of this world. Still staying in the hand workshop, I bet they don’t even know what machine tools are. I really doubt how your arsenal is going to be built."
Allen laughed and said: "It's man-made, and don't you think we don't need to take care of all the work. Don't forget the humans on this planet, there must be no lack of talented people among them. They only lack a little enlightenment. A bit of civilized fire. Just put the fire, I think it’s starting from Suhl City."
"I just hope I don't burn out the world." Edward said.
Suddenly the carriage stopped and Allen asked, "What's the matter?"
The soldier outside the window replied, "It's a man, master. Someone is lying in the middle of the road."
Allen jumped out of the carriage, and soldiers already came forward. In front of the carriage, a man was lying on the ground, not knowing whether it was alive or dead. Allen walked forward, and when the soldier turned the man over, Allen was startled and said, "Caesar?"
This man was Caesar who had been missing for many days. Hearing Alan's voice, he barely opened his eyes, his dry and blistered lips moved, but he closed his eyes again. Allen saw a wound on his body, some leaves attached to the wound, which looked like some kind of herbal medicine. But that couldn't heal Caesar's injury. Allen hurriedly stepped forward and found that Caesar's body temperature was terribly high when he touched his body.
He hurriedly asked the soldiers to move Caesar to the shade of the trees beside the road, and then asked Father Miró to come over. The priest should not rush here, because his inexquisite medical skills can't handle a wound of Caesar's level. He could only do the inspection once, then took out an emergency needle from the medical kit Allen and the others brought to Caesar, and then said: "We have to send him to the city, this kind of injury cannot be dealt with here. "
Allen nodded and called the soldiers to put Caesar on the carriage. Looking at Caesar, Edward frowned and said, "Why is he here?"
"I don't know until he wakes up," Allen said.
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at Suhl City. The city of Suhl was singing and dancing. Edward said, "Our new city owner knows how to buy people’s hearts. Hey, he cut the tax in Suhl by half~EbookFREE.me~ Now everyone in the city is very kind To support him, even if someone has opinions in their hearts, they dare not do anything under this general trend, otherwise they will attract public outrage."
After passing a crossroad, Edward got out of the carriage and said, "I will go to the City Lord's Mansion first. No surprise, you can have dinner with Sir Ethan tonight."
"Say hello to the Baron for me." Allen smiled.
Edward nodded.
The convoy finally stopped in front of a big mansion, which can be said to be the rich district in Suhl. Although it is only a two-story building, it occupies a large area and even has a small square. The house originally belonged to a big merchant in the city, but the merchant went bankrupt, mortgaged the house, and fell into the hands of Baron York. Now it is naturally Ethan's property. Ethan has already had someone clean the house in advance, and has arranged several servants for Alan and the others to call.
Allen jumped out of the car, and Lucy and Adele came over behind him. He pointed to the house and said, "Look, this will be our home from now on."
