[Thank you Brother Xiang, Su in the war, Book Friend 3196000, SunnyAdol, Ethereal Fashion and other brothers for rewarding monthly tickets, thank you for your support!] ]

The light shone on the glass of the window, reflecting Lucy's figure. She stood by the window, staring at the empty street. There was a knock on the door, and Lucy said "Come in", and Guna pushed the door in. The girl held a plate with a bowl of hangover on it. Putting things down, Guna said softly, "Miss hasn't rested yet?" ”

Lucy turned around and smiled, "Can't sleep." ”

"You're worried about Lord Alan, aren't you? Even though it was a terrible thing that happened, I don't think anything would be hard for Lord Allen. Guna smiled lightly and brought the bowl of soup on the table on the table: "You should have had a lot of drinks at the cocktail party tonight." This is the hangover soup I concocted, which has the effect of relieving hangover and calming the nerves, so let's rest early after drinking it. ”

"Thank you." Lucy took a sip of the soup, the soup was slightly sweet, and she slowly drank it down. Guna had already made her bed, and after serving her to sleep, she withdrew.

I don't know if the drink concocted by Guna really has a calming effect, and this time Lucy slept peacefully. By the time she opened her eyes, Alan was already sitting in front of the bed, smiling at her. Lucy hurriedly got up and asked, "Did Regis save them?" ”

Alan shook his head: "There was an accident last night. He briefly recounted the fact that the Trembling Serpent had been taken to its nest, and added, "I have sent people to Graham and asked him to take me to General Arkham in the morning to see if he can help us." ”

Then there was a knock on the door and he said, "Lord Allen, the clerk has arrived." ”

"Got it." Alan reached out and grabbed the blonde hair on Lucy's forehead, kissed her lightly on the forehead, "I'll come when I go." ”

Lucy nodded obediently.

Leaving the room and going downstairs to the hotel, Graham was already smiling in front of a carriage. When he saw Alan, he greeted him, opened the car door for him, and said, "Mr. Mayor has heard about your business last night, and I will fully cooperate with Lord Allen's work. ”

"I'm tired." Alan was not polite and got into the carriage.

Today I went to visit the general Arkham, and Alan only brought Nelly and four escorts, which can be regarded as a lightly armed Jane ride. Arkham's General's Mansion was located near the Bears' barracks, just across the wall from the Legion's main camp. It is almost urban, and the area is wide, with a road extending from the city, bypassing a lake, to the square of the General's Palace. Apparently Graham had informed the General's Palace in advance, and the carriage stopped in the square. When Alan got out of the car, he saw a group of tall and majestic bear-armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate. said that they were waiting, but the eyes of these warriors flashed with a faint hostility, more like a demonstration to Allen.

The Greyback Bears are a rare heavy force in the Imperial Legion. Even if they were ordinary soldiers, the armor on their bodies was not the usual light armor, but heavy chain mail. If it is the elite army in the Xiongjia Army, the tyrant bear, it is even more of a heavy plate armor, and it is completely a torrent of steel.

After saluting Allen, an officer of the Bear Armor Army said in a deep voice, "General Arkham is in the fighting arena, please come with me." ”

Allen and his entourage followed him into the General's Mansion, and when they entered the gate, the bear-armored troops on both sides cast a sharp gaze at Allen. Graham was not the first to bear the brunt, but his legs were also weakened by the invisible murderous aura in their eyes. Alan squinted, Xiong Jiajun clearly wanted to give him a dismount, and snorted lightly at the moment. The Heavenly Fire Source Force in the body was operational, and it naturally released a bit of momentum.

The Xiong Jia army on both sides suddenly felt an invisible sense of oppression pressed down like a mountain, unable to breathe. When Alan walked into the General's Mansion, that pressure disappeared. The suits under the locks of these bear-armored soldiers were already wet with sweat, and they all felt that the chain mail on their bodies seemed to be much heavier than usual.

The General's Mansion is very spacious, and Arkham, as one of the few great generals in the Empire, even owns a fighting arena in his mansion. Armor and weapon racks were placed on both sides of the arena, and when the Beararmor Officer led Alan into the arena, he happened to see several shirtless men wrestling. Four of the elite men took turns attacking a burly man like an iron tower, facing the broad back of Allen and the others, covered with scars.

At this moment, there was a loud shout in the audience, and the burly man arched his hands and overturned all the four men who wanted to push him down.

"General, Viscount Allen and Lord Graham have arrived." The Xiongjia Army officer said in a loud voice behind the man.

The man let out an "oh", then turned around, revealing an angular face. This man had undisguised determination and domineering pressure on him, and even Alan felt a tingling sensation. Graham was directly blue and sweating, and it looked like he was about to collapse under Arkham's pressure. Ellen gestured, and Nelly understood, helping Graham down.

At this time, Arkham took the towel handed by the soldier next to him, wiped the beads of sweat on his body and asked, "You are that Allen, the Allen who made two moves under the old Hoy's gun?" ”

"That's me."

Arkham grinned, and suddenly reached out to the weapon rack on the sidelines. A double-edged crescent axe jumped up from the rack and fell into the general's hands. Arkham didn't stop and threw it directly at Allen. The crescent axe swirled wildly, shaped like a gray wheel, and it pulled up and broke through the air with a sharp sound and slashed straight towards Allen's face. Later, Graham almost fainted when he saw this, and Alan didn't move, not even his eyelids jumped.

As the axe wheel was about to slash, the crescent axe suddenly deviated from its original trajectory, and a strong wind swept across Allen's left side, embedded deep in the wall behind him. The wall shook and collapsed.

Only then did Alan say, "This is the general's hospitality?" ”

"What, do you have an opinion?" Arkham put down his towel, and the pressure emanated from his body, and the things behind him even twisted and blurred, as if an invisible storm appeared around the general.

Facing the power unleashed by the Imperial General, Alan squinted slightly, and the light in the surrounding space began to dim. A layer of red light quietly appeared, constantly rising, and in an instant, the surrounding things were dyed with a layer of fire. Then the sky began to fall with sparks and ashes, as if the sky above Allen was on fire.

At this moment, a series of crackling noises sounded in the fighting arena, the ground shook and cracked, and the small gravel was lifted by an invisible force, slowly rising and distributed between the two of them. The qi released by Allen and Arkham fought against each other on this field, and neither the officers and soldiers of the Xiongjia Army nor the guards on Allen's side could support the power of the two and retreated.

Graham couldn't breathe, he was like a man who had fallen from a height of 10,000 meters, and he wanted to shout loudly to relieve the pressure in his heart, but he couldn't make the slightest sound, which made the clerk feel terrible. He didn't know that if it weren't for Nelly to put on most of the pressure for him, he would have been directly stunned by the mighty wrestling of the two powerhouses.

A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the field, and the ground between Alan and Arkham cracked, and countless sand and stones erupted from the cracks, forming a cloud of dust and smoke. Arkham snorted at this time, "It's kind of interesting." ”

Then the majesty slowly descended like a low tide.

Alan also retracted his momentum and source power, and looked at Arkham calmly. The commander of the Xiongjia Army beckoned at this time, and his own officer held a cloak and handed it to him. Arkham put on his cloak and said, "I have heard about what happened yesterday, so what do you want from me, Sir Allen?" ”

"I want to know about the Howling Forest, and the Dread Empress." Alan said unceremoniously.

"You just heard that there is a resting ground in the nest of those poisonous snakes?" Arkham looked at Graham, who was about to faint, and the latter nodded with all his might. The general frowned: "This is strange, the dormancy period of the Empress of Fear is still a few years old, so the Howling Forest has been very quiet all these years. Lovitt, was there anything unusual in our line of defense at the Necropolis last night? ”

The officer who led Alan and them in shook his head and said, "I haven't received any relevant reports, but there has been no danger on that line for many years, and it is difficult to be sure that the garrison of the line will not be negligent." ”

"Then you can take someone to check it yourself, and if anything unusual happens, you don't have to tell me, just report it directly to Sir Allen." Arkham grinned, "No little guy has dared to do this to me in all these years, and you are the first." For this sake, I can tell you about the Howling Forest, but I don't think I'll send troops to help you. Also, you are quite powerful, instead of helping the wretched prince, it is better to change the master. The eldest prince is a good choice, and as for the conditions that the second prince promised you, the eldest prince can still give you, or even more. ”

Alan said indifferently: "General, I'm not in the mood to think about this kind of thing now. ”

Arkham shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly, "Whatever you want." ”

At noon, Alan returned to the hotel and immediately got people ready to fight. He had already obtained information about the Howling Forest and the Dread Empress from Arkham, and even though Arkham didn't think that the Dread Empress had anything to do with the capture of Regess, there was a resting ground that only existed in the depths of the Howling Forest, so it was necessary for Eren to go to the forest to take a look. Originally, he was still thinking about how to distribute the manpower, after all, after the precedent, Alan was worried that if he walked away, the other people in the hotel would be attacked.

Unexpectedly, the officer of the Xiongjia Army came with a small team and stationed it in the hotel. Arkham said that he would not send troops to help, but was willing to ensure that Alan would not be attacked again in the city while he was in Motheor. In this way, Alan is also relieved to bring Lola, a strong man, with him. There are bears in the hotel, and if someone attacks, it will be equivalent to a slap in the face to Arkham. Arkham would not allow such a thing to happen, whether in public or private, so the people in the hotel were safe enough to be assured.

Eren wiped the Red King, doing the final checks for the trip. Lucy looked at him and said, "I'll go too." ”

"No, if Arkham is not exaggerating, then the Howling Forest is not less dangerous. Something like Regis and Faress has happened, and I don't want you to risk it. Alan said softly: "Obedient, wait for me to come back at the hotel, this is probably the safest place in the city." ”
