From Baron to Lord

“We believe that the Grand Duke will not put himself in danger. Maybe this is the safest place.”

“The Grand Duke is not a fool, and Alan is strong. Maybe this is the best place.”

Chapter 412: Back to the Seabed

“So, following the Grand Duke is definitely the right thing to do.”

Alan looked at Rainerson, and his impression of him collapsed. He didn't expect Rainerson to be like this.

“Brother, what are you talking about?” Laisse was also blushing because of what Rainerson said, and pulled on Rainerson's clothes embarrassedly. “However, Prince Rainerson, I remember we have supported you a lot already.”

Alan is not a pushover. Before, he just saw that those civilians were innocent. Moreover, in exchange, they had to help Alan guard the border of the Duchy of Alan.

Now they want support again, and judging from this situation, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist those skeleton soldiers like before, so naturally, he has to talk to him properly.

It can't be that the Duchy of Lyon only needs to sit on the ground and wait for aid to arrive, right? There is no such good thing.

“Grand Duke.” Laisse looked at Alan, looking a little pitiful. After all, that was her country, and she couldn't bear to see it like this.

“Laisse, go out first. I have other things to discuss with your brother.” Alan was unmoved.

After all, this kind of national affair cannot be changed for Laisse alone.

“Laisse, you go down first.” Rainerson said to her with a smile. Seeing that Laisse didn't want to move, he didn't want to make Alan unhappy. After all, there were still many things that required his consent.

Laisse glanced at Rainerson and Alan, and reluctantly retreated. “Okay, now Rainerson, you can state your conditions.”

Rainerson thought for a while, “We hope that the Duchy of Alan will receive the strong from the Duchy of Lyon. Grand Duke Alan can also build a defense line on the border, and the equipment will be the same as the turrets and shields here.” “That's impossible!” Before Rainerson finished speaking, Alan refused.

What a joke! How much time and resources would it take to build a defense line?

Moreover, it also needs turrets and shields. Not to mention that the defense line of Sphit City took him three full months to build. Now, not to mention that there is not enough time, even if there is enough, he would not agree.

And the most important energy blocks, he doesn't have enough for himself now, so building another one would be terrible?

Rainerson, however, seemed to be prepared, and persuaded Alan.

“Grand Duke, don't rush to refuse. After all, we did help the Duchy of Alan defend against a lot of undead.” “That won't work either, but I can give you some other assistance.”

“We are willing to follow the command of Grand Duke Alan.” Rainerson said without hesitation.

“What did you say?” Alan raised an eyebrow, looking at Rainerson.

Rainerson said unhurriedly: “Our Duchy of Lyon is willing to obey the Grand Duke's command.” “Is this your intention or Grand Duke Lyon's intention?”

“Naturally, it is my father's intention, otherwise, how would I dare to falsely convey my father's order.”

Interesting, Alan looked at Rainerson, Grand Duke Lyon is also a smart man.

Now the Duchy of Alan has persisted for nearly half a month, and its powerful strength has amazed many people.

And the Duchy of Lyon is an ally of the Duchy of Alan, and now it can only rely on its ally.

Listening to the command is equivalent to the Duchy of Lyon acknowledging the strength of the Duchy of Alan, and even willing to be a younger brother of the Duchy of Alan.

Alan can only sigh, it is true that the older ginger is spicier, Grand Duke Lyon can correct his position so quickly, it is really rare.

You must know that Alan used to be a baron in the Duchy of Lyon, and has been conferred by Grand Duke Lyon many times.

Now Grand Duke Lyon is actually willing to soften to him, Alan can't help but sigh, this is really a good move.

Not to mention anything else, now they can get the support of the Duchy of Alan and avoid the current predicament, and the Duchy of Alan will not abandon their younger brother.

Now even the Kingdom of Norton has been destroyed by the undead, and the coastal countries are swaying in the wind and rain.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Norton, one can imagine the situation that will follow.

With its current strength, the Duchy of Alan will inevitably rise strongly and become the most powerful duchy in the surrounding area.

Even, it is uncertain whether it will replace the Kingdom of Norton and become the Kingdom of Alan.

After all, the Kingdom of Norton no longer exists, and the Radiant Empire will re-elect a kingdom. Now it seems that the Duchy of Alan has a good chance.

At that time, with the relationship between the Duchy of Lyon and the Duchy of Alan, will Alan treat the Duchy of Lyon badly?

Moreover, Laisse has always liked Alan. When Laisse becomes Alan's woman, it will be of great benefit to the Duchy of Lyon.

Alan even suspected that they had sent Laisse here in the first place with this in mind.

“Grand Duke Lyon is really far-sighted!” Alan said with a smile.

Rainerson just stood respectfully, without saying a word.

“It's too late to build a defense line and turrets now, and the Duchy of Alan doesn't have enough supplies.” Alan told him the truth.

He does have the intention to replace the Kingdom of Norton, which requires a lot of support.

Now the Duchy of Lyon has just come to seek refuge, which is just right to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold.

“However, I can give you other assistance. Some of the magical beasts in the Aruk Forest and the Strathford Mountains can be mobilized, as well as eleven golden behemoths. In addition, I can provide you with some more assistance.”

The more Alan said, the more surprised Rainerson became.

“There are at least hundreds of thousands of magical beasts in the Aruk Forest and the Strathford Forest, right? This is an amazing help.”

Also, eleven golden behemoths. Rainerson knows its amazing power.

When Alan fought against the Duchy of Charlotte before, he showed its amazing power. It is simply a huge war machine.

“Thank you, Grand Duke.” Although he didn't get the turrets and shields he wanted this time, Alan also supported them a lot, which made Rainerson very satisfied.

“Alan, I'll go back first. As for Laisse, I'll leave her to the Grand Duke.” Rainerson cupped his hands and hurried out.

Perhaps it was because he was thinking too much, but Alan always felt that Rainerson's last sentence had a deeper meaning.

Alan returned to his small courtyard. Layshia's face turned red as soon as she saw Alan, and she hid away.

It seemed that Lynason must have said something to Layshia for her to act like this.

"What's wrong with Layshia?" Lucy asked, puzzled by her behavior.

Cecilia Mina, on the other hand, understood everything and looked at Alan with a smile.

"Cough, it's nothing." Alan felt a little guilty under Cecilia Mina's gaze and quickly changed the subject. "Cecilia Mina, are you still familiar with the ruins of the Ates Empire?"

"I still know most of them. What's wrong, Alan?" Sure enough, Cecilia Mina's attention was diverted. "Tomorrow, I want to investigate them."

Chapter 413: Investigating Thoroughly

To personally explore the seabed was a plan Alan had had for a long time.

When he learned that the war was about to begin, Alan had this idea.

However, Alan was still a little apprehensive about his and Cecilia Mina's last exploration.

The incomparably terrifying power of the abyss seemed to penetrate directly into people's souls, ~ Alan had no choice but to give up for the time being.

However, as the situation became more and more serious, Alan had to put this plan back on the agenda.

After getting information from Lynason, he could no longer bear it and began to prepare.

After all, no one would remain calm when the guy they always thought was an idiot suddenly became extremely cunning.

"No, Alan, you can't go down. The abyss is too dangerous," Cecilia Mina said excitedly, grabbing his arm tightly. "Cecilia Mina, don't get excited. Have you forgotten that I have a Mind Dragon that can resist the abyss's pollution?" Cecilia Mina was stunned for a moment. "Even if you're not afraid of the abyss, those undead are still too terrifying."

"The undead that are attacking every day are already so terrifying, and they must be at the ruins of the Ates Empire. You're simply walking into a trap if you go," Cecilia Mina still disagreed.

"Actually, I don't want to go either, but I have to," Alan said to Cecilia Mina helplessly.

He was originally afraid that they would worry, so he didn't want to hide this matter, but now it seemed that if he didn't tell her, Cecilia Mina would probably not let him go. "The energy blocks are not enough for ten days. Now those skeleton soldiers are getting stronger and stronger, we can't hold on for long."

"And…" Alan paused and said it anyway.

"I have to go all out now. They may have intelligence," Alan said with a serious face. "What?"

Alan told Cecilia Mina the news he had gotten from Lynason and his own thoughts. Cecilia Mina also looked incredulous.

"Could it be that my people are still alive?" Cecilia Mina looked excited.

Alan saw that the situation was not good and quickly said, "Cecilia Mina, calm down. Your people have been dead for many years. Now these are just abyss slaves."

Cecilia Mina was only excited for a moment, and after understanding, she fell silent.

Alan couldn't bear to see it and could only hold her hand.

Lucy, who was on the side, saw Cecilia Mina like this and said softly, "Cecilia Mina, don't be too sad."

Cecilia Mina looked at them gratefully and then said, "So you think the root of this matter lies at the bottom of the sea?"

Alan nodded, "It's already very dangerous now. I don't know when they will come up with new things to deal with me, so I must solve it as soon as possible." Cecilia Mina said without hesitation after listening, "Then I'll go with you!"

"This…"

"That's it. After all, the Ates Empire is so big, and I haven't been there for a long time, so I can't remember it for a while."

"And as the Ocean Singer of the Ates Empire, I should be able to help you a lot."

"Alright then." Alan thought for a while and agreed. After all, Cecilia Mina was also a Saint Realm powerhouse and could protect herself.

"I want to go too," Lucy said hastily when she saw this.

"No way." Alan refused without even thinking about it.

What a joke, Lucy had almost no fighting power, only her gem dragon to protect her.

Now that she actually said she wanted to go with Alan, Alan would definitely not agree.

"Alan, please let me go," Lucy pleaded.

"No, it's too dangerous." Alan didn't budge at all.

Seeing Lucy lowering her head, Alan touched her head, "If we all leave, we must leave someone to protect Sphyt City. Lucy, I'm counting on you."

"Okay." Lucy still agreed, and Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Alan stood on Sphyt City, followed by Marco, Thomas, and even Sparrow and the others. After all, the Grand Duke was about to leave, so they should come to see him off.

This time, Alan brought all the Dragon Knights in the Alan Duchy except for Lucy.

After all, this seabed was the base camp of the undead, so the danger was naturally extraordinary, and they had to be fully prepared.

"Marquis Albert, I'll leave the command of Sphyt City to you." Alan looked at his cheap old man. After all, he was more relieved with his family.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, I will definitely be prepared." Albert looked quite confident. … … … Seeking flowers …

Alan was still a little worried, "The next attack may be very fierce, but you must do your best to hold on, don't be reluctant to use the energy blocks."

"If you really can't hold on, retreat to the rear defense line. Remember, you must delay until we return." Albert also became serious and nodded to show that he knew.

Alan glanced at them, then said nothing more, and took the seven people behind him and rose into the air.

It was still early morning, and due to the shield, many skeleton soldiers were blocked outside.

After all, it was a sneak attack, and Alan knew that they had intelligence, so he didn't dare to swagger over.

He could only take advantage of the early morning and go around from the land.
