Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 158: Peak Fire Will Ignite

When Alan walked into the banquet hall, he immediately became the focus of attention. Everyone in the hall looked at him and exclaimed. As for the noble ladies who had been invited, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their gazes became incomparably hot, causing the temperature of the hall to seem to have risen a little.

After Tonislaw's meticulous design, Allen had indeed become the focus of everyone present.

This time, Tonislaw didn't give Alan a strong haircut. Instead, he made a simple and casual shape of his silver hair, blurring the increasingly fierce divine light in Allen's eyes. Under the collar of the white shirt, there was a silver-gray tie embellished with white dots. The tie was put into a black vest, and the coat was a silver grey striped suit in the same color as the tie.

The color of the outfit tended to be reserved, but the square scarf in the pocket on the left side of her chest was a dazzling bright red. The scarlet scarf was folded into a cone and put into his pocket. The same color as Allen's eyes made it the highlight of the dress. Ellen, who was strolling over from the door carpet, gave off an elegant, steady and vigorous feeling of youth.

In the crowd, Leon whispered to Adele, "You have to admit, even this romantic young master of the city has to be compared to our Ellen."

Adele glanced fiercely at the glittering ladies in the hall, and lowered her voice, "These damn women, don't you know that the cubs are mine? I wish I could dig out their eyes!"

Jin Liancheng brought over a glass of red wine and lightly touched Leon's glass. "Adele is also so charming when she tastes jealousy. I really envy this kid Alan."

Adele glared at him at once.

Jin Liancheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Being angry is also extremely beautiful."

Leon tried very hard not to laugh, "Even if you flatter her, Adele won't like you."

"I'm just telling the truth." Jin Liancheng blinked at Adele.

Adele could only roll her eyes.

On the other side, Horn coughed softly. Everyone knew that he had something to say. The band stopped playing and the guests stopped whispering. Everyone in the hall focused on Horn's side. Standing beside Horn were some people, including Windsor Belo, Alstair, Old Kate, and others who were very important in Babylon. Especially Windsor Belo, who was standing beside Alstair, who was tall and tall, and who immediately outnumbered the chancellor of the exchequer who looked like a ball.

Horn patted Ellen on the shoulder and said, "Everyone, I'm very happy tonight. Because Beth Cod has two joys to announce. One is that our family's younger generation was lucky enough to be chosen by Marshal Windsor Bellow and accepted as a direct disciple. That's right, that's the young man in front of us. Alan Beth Cod!"

Alstair applauded first, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer leading the way, and the guests in the hall began to applaud warmly as if they had smashed their palms. Windsor Belo looked at Horn and the corner of her mouth curled up. She thought to herself that Horn had given her face and put this matter first.

"From today onwards, we, Marshal Bescord and Marshal Windsor Bellow, will be our strongest allies. I am also confident that with the efforts of our young and valiant Marshal Greed, the Federation of Earth will be safe from the scourge of war!"

Horn's words were extremely informative, and the biggest piece of information was undoubtedly the alliance between Beth Cod and Windsor Belo. By the time Windsor Belo announced the recruitment of students, many people had already guessed today's results. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a family like Beth Cod who became Marshal Greed's ally. It is no exaggeration to say that Horn's decision tonight will have a knock-on effect and will quietly change the delicate situation between the old and the new parties.

The new party has always had shortcomings in seniority and foundation, but now it has Beth Cod and a few other small and medium-sized clans forming an alliance. To a large extent, it made up for Windsor Belo's shortcomings. Similarly, being able to establish a relationship with an ace army like Sirius would be of great benefit to these clans.

In the entire alliance, Windsor Belo and Horn naturally benefited the most.

"Old friend, this is really a joyous occasion. But now, I can't wait to know what the second thing is." Asked Alstair with a smile.

Horn nodded and swept his gaze across the crowd. "As for the second thing, it's a private matter." I think everyone knows that more than ten years ago, my youngest daughter, Lanny, left me and the family. It was a great blow to me, and I thought I would never recover from it. But now, I believe God is willing to give me a second chance. Because he brought Alan back. This child is Lanny's son and my grandson. So today, after this young man has achieved outstanding results, I declare on behalf of the Clan Council of Elders. "Formally accept Alan's return to the family, and his name will be among the heirs!"

Another round of applause rang out.

This time, the young ladies, who were already burning with excitement, wished they could eat Alan up. The official students of Windsor Belo and the heirs of Beth Cord were enough to drive them crazy. Moreover, Alan was still so young and inherited her mother's handsome silhouette. If he were to reach adulthood in the future, he would surely be even more

After announcing these two events, Horn introduced Allen to some important people, such as Alstair. Chancellor Ellen was no stranger. After all, this was the minister who presided over the death arena. Apart from that, there are other outstanding people from different fields, including bankers, councillors, chambers of commerce chairmen, and so on.

When Alan finally managed to escape and move freely, he was "besieged" by a group of noble girls. In the end, Adele broke into the encirclement and rescued Alan from the pile of women.

Seeing Alan drag Adele away from afar, Old Kate smiled and toasted Horn with a glass of wine. "It seems that they are on good terms," she said.

"Indeed. Looking at them reminds me of the days when we were young." Horn said.

"Unfortunately, we are no longer young." Old Kate coughed dryly. "Friend, your little Ellen's partner hasn't been decided yet, has he? If you don't object, I hope Adele will be with Ellen."

"You're willing." Horn glanced at him.

Old Kate said, "Of course I'm reluctant, but Adele came up with it herself. I hope she can have her own happiness, so I can only shamelessly make this wish for her as a grandfather."

"I like Adele very much, too." Horn patted his old friend on the shoulder and said, "But they are still young, and they have to get Allen's consent. Besides, our little Allen probably has to leave Babylon No, for a while."

Old Kate frowned, "You want him to go on an expedition to the Outer Realm?"

"I'm going to the Outer Realm, but I'm not going to expand my territory for my clan." Horn looked at the tall figure on the other side. "Don't forget, Alan is still a student of that adult. And that adult's teaching methods are definitely not as gentle as those of the teachers of Dawn Blade."

"I understand." Old Kate's eyes lit up. "Was Windsor Belo planning to take Ellen to the Chaos Battlefield? This is a good place to earn military merits, but don't worry about letting Ellen go there."

"With Marshal Greed in charge, I don't have to worry. Whether I don't go or not depends on Alan's own wishes." After saying that, Horn glanced at Alan.

Alan felt something. Turning around, Horn raised his glass and smiled. Then, he led Old Kate to Alstair's side. Alan turned around and pulled his collar, "You don't know, this thing is choking me."

Leon and Kim agreed, and Adele said, "Don't worry, I'll give you artificial respiration if you suffocate."

The three boys stared at him with wide eyes. Leon shook his head for a long time and said, "Adele, you are at least a noble lady, as if you don't know what a reserved person is."

Adele rolled her eyes and pulled Ellen, "What's the use of being reserved? It's not like you didn't see that those women were going to eat my little elk. If I were any more reserved, he would have been bitten to the bone!"

"I'm not that easy to eat, am I?" Ellen smiled embarrassedly.

"Who knows!"

At this moment, a light cough sounded from behind them. Adjutant Mirren said politely, "Excuse me, guys."

"Marshal wants you to come over. She has something to say to you."

Alan nodded and followed Mirren. Adele looked at Windsor Belo, her eyes narrowed unconsciously, with a hint of hostility in them. Leon looked at it and asked curiously, "You're jealous of Teacher Allen?"

"I have a hunch." Adele withdrew her gaze and crossed her arms, "This woman is my greatest enemy!"

Leon and Jin Liancheng trembled at the same time. If that was the case, Adele would have to snatch food from the wolf's mouth. And when the time comes, they will not interfere in Adele's affairs. After all, the one standing on Adele's side was a top-notch expert, not to mention a woman, that would be even more terrifying.

The banquet was held late into the night and the guests enjoyed themselves.

Over the next few days, news of Beth Cod spread everywhere. At the end of the year, Horn bought several factories and businesses that were on the verge of bankruptcy, and plans to restructure them into mo-wu factories that are self-developed and capable of assembly-line production. As soon as the news spread, Windsor Belo held a press conference over there, announcing that Bethcod, the soon-to-be-released magic weapon factory, would become a stable supplier of magic energy weapons to the Sirius Legion.

Together, the two messages were undoubtedly a huge bomb. Sirius had been guarding the chaotic battlefield for many years, and the amount of weapons consumed by the legion was astonishing. If they could become their weapons suppliers, the huge profits would wake people up from their dreams just by thinking about it.

There is no doubt that this is the first step for Beth Cod and the New Party to work together for mutual benefit. Under Windsor Belo's intentional influence, Beth Corder's momentum immediately rose, and he had the momentum to regain his former glory.

The Christmas of the year came quietly, as the hearts of the people were tired of running around for these few pieces of news.

On Christmas Eve night, snowflakes descended from the sky. In Babylon, a grand fireworks display was going on. Another firework display, Venus Hotel, a box reflected a variety of colors.

"I didn't expect that I would be the only one to leave after this Christmas." Leon waved his glass and looked at Allen. "Brother, the Chaos Battlefield is not a place to play. Have you thought it through?"

Alan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in two years."

"If I can survive two years in the chaotic battlefield, it will be a very rare experience." Jin Liancheng patted Ellen on the shoulder and said, "I support you."

Then he looked at Adele and said, "Don't worry, Adele, I will take care of her for you, and no one will bully her."

Adele jumped up and said, "I'm not that weak. Young Master Jin, it's better to look at the other young ladies of the noble family."

Then he glared at Allen and said, "If you don't come back in two years, I'll give you a cuckold!"

Leon exclaimed, "It's as if you and Alan have become partners."

"What did you say, Leon! Are you saying that Alan and I can't be partners?" Adele immediately opened her teeth and claws.

Alan and Jin Liancheng laughed at the same time, looking at Leon with a bitter smile, Adele looked proud. A trace of melancholy flashed through Alan's heart. He thought that it would be two years before he could see these friends again. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about leaving.

That night at dinner, Windsor Belo called him over and directly asked if she was willing to go to the chaotic battlefield with her. Alan did not think too much before agreeing that Windsor Belo would not do anything meaningless. Since she was asking for this, there must be a deeper meaning to it. Alan would not regret his expedition to the Star Road and the Peak Fire Wolf Smoke. Only the raging flames of war could forge its clenched bones!

Peng! There was a loud noise from outside the window, and incomparably brilliant fireworks blossomed in the night sky, illuminating the young faces in the room. Leon turned around and raised his glass. "Brothers, since we have come to the world once in our lives, let us live a life of great vigor! No matter what the chaotic battlefield is or the outer realms, not only must we go, we must also make some achievements!"

Four glasses smashed into each other.

Adele drank her wine and said unwillingly, "It's not fair that you only dare to be a brother and not put my sister in."

Jin Liancheng said from the side, "If you call me sister, you will lose your momentum. Isn't that right, Leon?"

Leon raised his hand and said, "I swear to God that I will not answer this question."

"You guys are sexist!"

After a moment of silence, a burst of laughter rang out from the private room. Outside the window, the snow became heavier and heavier, painting the prosperous Shao Dynasty and dying the flowing years!

Volume II Forecast

"Is that Ada Hua's Royal Flying Ship?"

"I don't care who you are. Anyway, my orders are everything here!"

"Earth Drilling Bugs, Blade Ants, Heavens, and Wolf Cavalry? There's a tribe here, the Blade Demon Tribe!"

"Strong attacks are not the best method. I have a better idea to recapture the base."

After a long separation, what kind of sparks would come from the return of the noble girl? Peak Fire Earth, dangerous weapons, and fierce battles. A war between humans and Blade Demons was about to break out. How would Allen write the legend of his army when the flames of war were raging and his iron bones were lofty? Everything will be revealed in the third volume!
