The light shone on the glass of the window, reflecting Lucy's figure. She stood by the window, gazing out at the empty street. Someone knocked on the door, Lucy said "Come in", and Guna pushed the door open and entered. The girl was holding a plate in her hand, on which was a bowl of hangover hot. Putting down the things, Gu Na said softly: "Miss hasn't rested yet?"
Lucy turned around and smiled, "I can't sleep."
"Are you worried about Mr. Alan? Although such a terrible thing happened, I don't think there is anything difficult for Mr. Alan." Guna smiled and brought the bowl of soup to the table: " You should have drunk a lot of bars at the reception tonight. This is the hangover soup I made, which has the effect of hangover and calming the nerves. After drinking it, miss, go to rest early."
"Thank you." Lucy took a sip of the soup, and she drank it slowly. Guna had already made the bed for her, and only retreated after she waited for her to sleep well.
I don't know if the drink made by Guna really has the effect of calming the nerves. This time Lucy slept soundly. When she opened her eyes, Allen was already sitting by the bed, looking at her with a smile. Lucy got up quickly and asked, "Have Regis and the others been rescued?"
Allen shook his head: "There was an accident last night." He briefly said that the Thrilling Snake was taken to his lair, and then said: "I have sent someone to find Graham, and asked him to take me to visit in the morning. General Cam, see if you can help us."
At this time, someone knocked on the door and said outside: "Master Alan, the clerk has arrived."
"Understood." Allen reached out and stroked the golden hair on Lucy's forehead, kissed her forehead lightly and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Lucy nodded obediently.
Leaving the room and going downstairs to the hotel, Graham was already waiting in front of a carriage with a smile on his face. Seeing Alan, he went up to meet him, opened the car door for him and said, "Mr. Mayor has heard about your affairs last night, and asked me to fully cooperate with Lord Alan's work."
"Thank you." Alan was not polite, and got into the carriage.
When I went to visit General Arkham today, Allen only brought Nelly and four guards with him, which was considered light and simple. Arkham's General's Mansion is located near the Bear Armor Army's barracks, separated from the Legion's camp by a city wall. This place is close to the effect of the city, with a wide area. A road extends from the city, bypasses a lake, and goes directly to the square of the General's Mansion. Apparently, Graham had notified the General's Mansion in advance, and the carriage stopped in the square. When Allen got out of the car, he saw a group of tall and majestic bear armor soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate. They said they were waiting, but the eyes of these soldiers shone with vague hostility, more like a demonstration against Allen.
The Grizzly Bear Armored Army is a rare heavily armed unit in the Imperial Legion. Even for ordinary soldiers, the armor on their bodies is not the usual light armor, but heavy mail armor. If it is the tyrant bear, the elite unit of the bear armor army, it is all thick plate armor, which is completely a torrent of steel.
After saluting to Allen, an officer of the Bear Armored Army said in a deep voice, "General Arkham is in the fighting arena, please follow me."
Alan and his party followed him into the general's mansion. When they entered the gate, the Bear Armored Army on both sides cast sharp gazes at Alan. Although Graham was not the first to bear the brunt, his legs trembled from the invisible murderous pressure in their eyes.
soft. Allen squinted his eyes, and Xiong Jiajun clearly wanted to give him a blow, so he hummed softly. The source of fire in the body was activated, and it naturally released a bit of aura.
The Xiongjia army on both sides suddenly felt an invisible oppression like a mountain, and they couldn't breathe. The pressure disappeared when Allen walked into the general's mansion. The battle suits of these Xiongjia soldiers were already wet with sweat, and they all felt that this set of mail armor seemed to be much heavier than usual.
The general's mansion is very spacious. As one of the few great generals in the empire, Arkham even has a fighting arena in his mansion. There are armor and weapon racks on both sides of the fighting arena. When the bear armor officer led Allen into the fighting arena, he happened to see several shirtless men wrestling. Four of them took turns to attack a burly man like an iron tower, with scars all over his broad back facing Allen and others.
At this moment, there was loud shouting in the arena, and the burly man clasped his hands, overturning all four men who were trying to push him down.
"General, Viscount Allen and Lord Graham have arrived." The Bear Armored Army officer shouted behind the man.
The man said "oh", then turned around, revealing a sharp face. There was undisguised determination and domineering pressure on this man, and even Allen felt a pinprick. Graham's face turned blue, and he was sweating profusely. It seemed that he was about to collapse under Arkham's pressure. Allen made a gesture, Nelly understood, and helped Graham down.
At this time, Arkham took the towel from the soldier next to him, wiped the sweat from his body and asked, "Are you that Alan, the Alan who took two moves under old Hoy's gun?"
"it is me."
Arkham grinned, and suddenly stretched out his hand towards the weapon rack on the sidelines. A double-edged crescent ax jumped from the rack and fell into the general's hand. Arkham didn't stop, and threw it directly at Allen. The crescent ax spun wildly, shaped like a gray wheel, and slashed straight at Alan's face with a sharp sound. Later, Graham almost fainted when he saw this, and Alan didn't move, not even his eyelids twitched.
When the ax wheel was about to strike, the crescent ax suddenly deviated from its original track, passing Alan's left side with a gust of wind, and embedded deeply in the wall behind him. The wall shook and collapsed.
Allen said at this time: "Is this the general's way of hospitality?"
"Why, do you have an opinion?" Arkham put down the towel, exuding strong pressure from his body, and the things behind him even became distorted and blurred, as if an invisible storm appeared around the general.
Facing the power unleashed by the general of the empire, Allen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the light in the surrounding space began to dim. A dense layer of red light quietly emerged, rising continuously, and immediately dyed the surrounding things with a layer of fire. Then sparks and ashes began to fall from the sky, as if the sky above Allen's head was ablaze.
At this time, a series of crackling noises sounded on the fighting arena, the ground shook and cracked, and the tiny gravel was lifted up by an invisible force, slowly rising, and distributed between the two of them. The energy released by Alan and Arkham fought against each other on this field. Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Bear Armored Army or the guards from Alan's side, they couldn't sustain the power of the two and retreated steadily.
Graham couldn't breathe even more. At this moment, he was like a person who fell from a height of 10,000 meters. He wanted to shout loudly to relieve the pressure in his heart, but he couldn't make a sound, which made the clerk extremely uncomfortable. he doesn't know, or
It was Nai Li who took up most of the pressure for him, and now he has been directly stunned by the power struggle between the two strong men.
There was a sudden thunderclap on the field, and a crack opened on the ground between Allen and Arkham, and countless sand and stones spurted out from the crack, forming a cloud of dust and smoke. Only then did Arkham snort, "It's kind of interesting."
Afterwards, the power slowly descended like an ebb tide.
Allen also withdrew his momentum and source of strength, and looked at Arkham calmly. The commander-in-chief of the Xiongjia Army beckoned at this moment, and an officer handed it to him with a cloak in his hand. Arkham put on his cloak and said, "I also heard what happened yesterday, so what do you want from me, Sir Alan?"
"I want to know information about the Howling Forest and the Queen of Fear." Allen said bluntly.
"You are straightforward. I heard that resting earth appeared in the lair of those poisonous snakes?" Arkham looked at Graham, who was about to faint, and the latter nodded with all his strength. The general frowned: "This is strange. Logically speaking, the Queen of Fear's dormant period still has a few years, so the Howling Forest has been very quiet these years. Lovett, our defense line at the Great Cemetery last night Is there anything unusual?"
The officer who led Alan and the others shook his head and said, "I haven't received any relevant reports, but there have been no dangers in that line of defense for many years. It is difficult to be sure that the garrison on the line of defense will not be negligent."
"Then you take someone to check it yourself. If there is anything unusual, don't tell me, just report it to Sir Allen." Arkham grinned: "I haven't had that little guy dare to talk to me like this all these years." Go ahead, you are the first one. For the sake of this, I can tell you about the Howling Forest, but I don’t want to send troops to assist you. Also, you are quite capable. Instead of helping that useless prince, why don’t you Change the master. The first prince is a good choice, as for the conditions that the second prince promised you, the first prince can still give you, or even more."
Allen said indifferently: "General, I'm not in the mood to think about such things now."
Arkham shrugged, and said indifferently, "It's up to you."
At noon, Allen returned to the hotel and immediately made people ready for the battle. He had already obtained information about the Howling Forest and the Queen of Fear in Arkham. Even though Arkham did not think that the Queen of Fear had anything to do with the kidnapping of Regis, the resting place that only existed in the depths of the Howling Forest happened on the spot. Therefore, it is necessary for Allen to go to the forest to have a look. Originally, he still wanted to allocate the manpower. After all, after setting a precedent, Allen worried that if he walked away, other people in the hotel would be attacked.
Unexpectedly, the officer of the Bear Armor Army came with a small team and stationed in the hotel. Arkham said that he would not send troops to assist, but he was willing to guarantee that Alan would not be attacked in the city during his stay in Moser. In this way, Allen felt relieved to bring the strong Laura with him. There is a bear army stationed in the hotel. If someone attacks, it is equivalent to slapping Arkham. Arkham would not allow such a thing to happen, whether in public or private, so the safety of the people in the hotel was guaranteed.
Allen wiped the Red King and made a final check for the trip. Lucy looked at him and said, "I'll go too."
"No, if Arkham is not exaggerating, then the danger of the Howling Forest is not low. Things like Regis and Fares have already happened, and I don't want you to take risks for this." Allen said softly: " Be obedient and wait for me at the hotel, this is probably the safest place in the city."
