Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1543: Armistice Agreement

On the second day after the succession ceremony, Alan woke up early in the morning and Laura was dressing him when Ramo came. Now, this Hidden Demon General had become Shadow Castle's general manager. He was in charge of both internal and external affairs, and was also responsible for commanding the Dark Shadow Army. There were many more matters than Allen, the new head of the empire. Alan saw Ramo in the side hall. Behind the general stood two women. Regardless of their figures or appearances, the two of them were the same. One had black hair and the other had red hair, but they were twins. Speaking of the twins, Alan thought of the Green Dragon Knight sisters and wondered how the people on Planet Heaven were doing. While he was absent-minded, Lamar coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, this is Peggy and Palin. From today onwards, they will be in charge of your daily life in Shadow Castle. Their combat strength is not bad, and they can block swords and blades for Your Majesty if necessary."

"

The black-haired man's name was Peggy. It was his sister. The red-haired one was Palin, the younger sister. The two sisters knelt down behind Lamar and shouted to Alan, "Peggy, Palin greets His Majesty."

Alan nodded and raised his hand. An invisible force field lifted up the two sisters to signal for them to get up. Call Laura again and have the twins follow Laura in the future. The three women go down temporarily. Lamar laughs dryly and says, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you'll be busy in the next few days. I've planned out the schedule for the next week. I hope you'll have a look."

He handed over a smart tablet with a list of the next week's itineraries on the screen. For example, Allen needed to meet with the remaining generals of the empire today. Since four of them had died at Allen's hands and four had died in the Garter Domain, there were only six remaining generals. Allen had to decide who to replace them. Lamar had drawn up a list of names, including White and Twilight. As for tomorrow, Allen needed to meet with the emperors and important officials to discuss the future development of the empire, and the ministers needed to understand Allen further. Next, Allen needed to go to the east of the empire, travel around the provinces, and so on. It could be said that Ellen's schedule was full and his eyes were dazed. Ramo coughed softly and said, "It's not easy to govern a country. Although His Majesty has little to do with national affairs, he is still His Majesty Sbernak. So, His Majesty Ellen, if you want to make the empire useful, just relying on yesterday's shock is far from enough."

Alan smiled helplessly. Of course he understood what Ramo meant. As a supreme being, even Frius had to avoid a battle with him. With this kind of combat power, it really didn't matter whether Spenak handled the empire's affairs or not. But he, Allen, was not a supreme being. Even if his battle prowess looked at the entire universe, he was almost the number one person below a supreme being. However, as long as he wasn't a supreme being, he wouldn't be able to compare it to Spenak. Spenak could ignore the court affairs, but he couldn't. Therefore, he needed to make up the distance from Spenak through other ways. This was also the purpose of Lamar's listing of the itinerary.

After breakfast, Allen saw several Great Generals in the Dark Shadow Hall, including Devlin and Ramo. The remaining six Great Generals were all present. This meeting took almost a day. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Alan returned to his palace. He took off his Demon King Armor, put on his loose casual clothes, and walked into a pavilion alone. He sat down in the pavilion, where Alan could see the whole of Demoic Ring City. It was getting late, and the setting sun from behind the great fault fell on the city, plating the black and red capital with a layer of golden yellow, making the color of the entire city softer. Looking at the city under the setting sun, he remembered Babylon. That dreamy floating island had crashed during the invasion of Nelm. He didn't know if it had been repaired yet. Alan clearly remembered that when he first arrived in Babylon, he was intimidated by the unparalleled magnificence of the floating island in the air. The current Demoic Ring City was no smaller than Babylon in size, and it was even more majestic than Babylon in terms of its historical background, not to mention that Babylon could compare to it in terms of its historical background. But looking at the city, Alan did not feel that kind of shock. josei

After all, he was no longer the young man who had just arrived at the floating island.

After experiencing so many tribulations, he continued to grow. His fortune was rising like a snowball. He was now the ruler of a country, and the power and wealth he possessed had already reached the goal he had pursued that day. Now, no one could deprive him of his liberty as easily as he did back then, not even if Orfasis came.

But...

Alan raised his hand and reached out to catch the Origin Energy radiance that was shining from the sunlight. Naturally, he couldn't catch anything. This was a bit like his current mood. Sbernak suddenly threw this gift to him. It looked like those Origin Energy fluorescent lights were incomparably beautiful, but it always gave off a dreamy feeling of illusion.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "In the end, it's not something that I fought to create. I always feel a little uneasy."

At this moment, a chuckle sounded from outside the pavilion, followed by the woman's whispers. Alan turned around behind the pillar. It turned out to be the Peggy sisters. They were pruning the flowers and trees outside the pavilion, chatting while working. Alan looked at them with a feeling in his heart. His arrival had indeed affected the lives of many people, and even their fate in the future. Not to mention that a Bimanff had died yesterday, and the three clans had been removed from their names, implicating tens of thousands of people. At this moment, even the two sisters' life trajectories were completely different.

As Alan thought about it, the red-haired Perrin glanced at the pavilion and saw the corner of her clothes hanging from the back of the pillar. Peggy, who was still smiling, looked at her and her expression immediately changed. She led Perrin towards the pavilion and shouted, "Who is it? How dare you! This is His Majesty's private palace, how can it..."

When the two women walked to the pillar and saw that it was Alan, the two girls were shocked. They quickly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we didn't know it was you."

Of course, Alan wouldn't argue with them. He smiled and pulled them up. "It's fine. You guys just have to do your own thing. Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here. That won't disturb you, right?"

The two girls were somewhat flattered. They shook their heads and repeatedly said no, before leaving the pavilion and continuing to trim the flowers and trees from afar. A moment later, the red-haired Perrin seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. She whispered, "Sister, this His Majesty seems to be very different from the previous one. That His Majesty wouldn't have said that just now, right? Perhaps we have already lost our heads."

"

"Keep your mouth shut. Just do your job." Peggy knocked on her sister's head.

The latter stuck out his tongue and made a grimace. He then quietly turned around and looked into the pavilion. Seeing that Alan was still in a daze, he turned around and continued to work.

Alan smiled in the pavilion. He actually heard the conversation between the two sisters. What they said should also be the voice of many imperialists in their hearts.

He was never Spenak.

Alan suddenly raised his hand and waved his fist in the air. In a voice he could only hear, he said, "I am not Sbernak. Why must I live in his shadow? Besides, to them, the Demon King is the Demon King, no matter how much he imitates it."

"And I am Alan, a human!"

As if he had untied a knot in his heart, Alan stood on the ground and stretched in front of the setting sun. On the way back, he passed by the two sisters and patted them on the shoulders, "Continue to work hard." After leaving behind the inexplicable twins, Allen returned to his dormitory.

Ramo came over for dinner, not to relax, but to bring a piece of news.

"Oh, a messenger from Frius is coming to visit tomorrow?" Alan put a piece of roasted meat in his mouth and chewed it. He didn't know what ingredient it was, but it tasted like a roasted steak. However, it was certain that there were no animals like cows on Agares. It was difficult for the kitchen of the Imperial Palace to put all its effort into restoring the Earth's recipes with the local ingredients for this new owner. However, this also saved many human slaves, especially those with talent as chefs. They left the dirty slave market and came to Shadow Castle to be reborn.

As Allen thought, his arrival affected the fate of many people, and this influence would gradually expand over time.

Lamar seemed to be unaccustomed to human-flavored food, and although Alan invited him to dinner, the general tasted it. After eating a few mouthfuls, he no longer touched the knives and forks on the table. He brought a message. An envoy from Dobia will arrive tomorrow. It's Fire Demon Beruke. Beruke was Frius' left arm and right shoulder, so at times he could be regarded as Frius' personal arrival. This time, his arrival was clearly due to the Black Emperor's will. More importantly, Dobia's notice clearly stated that the Firefiend had sent a gift to Frius in celebration of Alan becoming the new emperor of Demonic Shadow Empire.

"No matter what His Majesty's intentions are, having this gift is equivalent to him acknowledging everything His Majesty has. It will be of great help to you in consolidating your throne," Ramo said.

"In that case, should I thank Friuselo?" Alan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I gave him a few sabers on planet Evernight. Fortunately, he didn't hold grudges."

Ramo widened his eyes. No one knew what had happened to Alan on Evernight. This was also the first time Lamo had heard that he knew that Alan would not lie, but if it was true, it would be too shocking. This time, even Lamo was stunned for a while before he said, "Your Majesty is truly extraordinary."

The next day, Fire Demon Beruke came. Originally, Ellen had to cancel the meeting with the high-ranking officials in the city. In the shadow hall, Alan sat upright on the throne. Beruke walked in with a few guards from Buried City, and then knelt down to Alan as if he was greeting the Emperor. This was considered to be giving Alan enough face.

Then, in the presence of all the officials in the hall, he said to Allen, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by His Majesty Freus to deliver an agreement this time." His Majesty believes that our two countries have been at war for many years and that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Therefore, I hope His Majesty Allen will accept our proposal. In the next hundred years, may our two countries temporarily stop fighting and give our country and people a period of rest and recuperation. What does His Majesty think? "

All of a sudden, everyone in the hall, including Alan, thought that they had heard wrongly.

Dobia actually offered a truce?
