Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1457: Sovereign Realm 1

Mokedan.

The footsteps of two people resounded in a deep corridor of the City Lord's Mansion. Laura and Bai Zheng walked to the meeting hall. Laura looked worried even though she couldn't see anything. No wonder she was worried. Alan had already left for a month, and no news had come. She firmly believed that Alan was still alive. With her connection to Alan, if anything really happened to Alan, Laura believed that she would feel something. Even though she thought so, it didn't mean that everyone else was so confident in Alan.

A week after Allen lost the news, some uneasy atmosphere began to appear in Mockdanley. However, although the Allen people were far away, the aftermath was still there. In addition, with experts like Tong Wu and Twilight guarding the place, no one dared to question anything.

Half a month later, not only did the unease not disappear, it also grew bigger and bigger. It wasn't just the army, even the residents of the three cities were wondering if something had happened to Allen. These voices grew louder and louder until, in the end, military control was imposed in several cities, including Moktan, preventing residents from taking to the streets and assembling at will.

Fortunately, Melanie insisted on killing these deserters, which was why he suppressed them. However, this was only a temporary cure. Although people's unease and speculation could be suppressed by violence for a while, it was not a long-term solution. The most terrifying thing was that today, even the higher-ups and officials had lost confidence in Allen. Some even shouted for the empire to take over. Of course, Melanie had already thrown him into prison for the first time.

Laura and Bai Xing arrived in front of the main entrance of the Council Chamber. Now that there were many generals gathered in the Council Chamber, they were all invited by Melanie to attend today's meeting. Before this, Melanie had met Laura privately, hoping that she, who was closest to Alan, could find a way to calm her heart.

Although Laura had come here, there was nothing she could do. Facing the door in front of her, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Sister." "Father, he's still alive. I can feel him," said the youth, who looked at Laura with a clear gaze.

Laura smiled bitterly. "Me too. I believe Alan is still alive. But the people inside don't believe it!"

"What does that matter?" A cold female voice sounded.

Laura turned around and saw Twilight coming from the other side of the corridor. She said proudly, "If he had died, Hillon and I would have disappeared long ago. We are people because of him. As long as we are here, it means he is not dead."

"As for whether the people inside believe it or not, it doesn't matter at all." "If they have any objections, just kill them," Twilight said calmly. "How could there be so much trouble?"

Laura shook her head. "That's definitely not going to work. Alan had a hard time getting into this situation. These people are the cornerstones of his expansion. We can't do that."

"Trouble." Twilight looked at the door and said, "Let's go. Anyway, I won't kill anyone else, but even if the city is broken, I can still protect you."

Laura looked at her in surprise. She thought that when Twilight first saw Alan, she had planned to kill him instead. She didn't think that this woman would say such a human thing now.

She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the noise in the hall entered her ears. Laura swept her eyes across the entire meeting hall. Today, there were indeed many people, all the generals of the Forgotten Realm had arrived, and there were even more people on Mo Ke Dan's side. Apart from the high-ranking military officers and Smoker's two generals, there were also quite a few politicians. The two sides of the long discussion table were filled with people of the highest ranking in the city. As for the people of the second rank, they were standing in the back row. Regardless of which side they were on, they were discussing in succession, desperately trying to convince others to agree with their views.

The ones who were most excited were the people from Mokedan's side. Even the surrender general, Zhuo De, kept talking to Melani. Apart from the four generals of Tong Wu and Blue Devil, the other generals of the second rank were whispering to each other in the Forgotten Realm.

Only Tong Wu, Melani and Grace were able to sit in the seats.

Seeing Laura enter the arena, Melanie raised her hand and said, "Be quiet." Then, she invited Laura to sit on the chair on the left side of the main seat. Looking at the chair where Alan was supposed to be sitting, Laura sat down, and Melanie stood up and said, "Well, everyone's here. Now you can ask any questions, but you have to keep order."

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer from Moktan stood up and said, "Lord Alan has been missing for more than a month. I think everyone knows that this is a very serious problem. Here I would like to ask Mr. Melani what should we do if Lord Alan does not come back?"

Before Melanie could answer, Laura said in a low voice, "Your hypothesis is completely untenable, because Alan is not dead and will not die. It's just a matter of time before he comes back."

"Miss Laura is so sure?" The officer retorted.

An imposing aura suddenly rushed up, it was so domineering that even Tong Wu couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. It was Twilight who emitted her aura. She wantonly released her aura, and the might from the Sovereign King made everyone else in the hall feel that it was too much.

The officer who had been aggressive just now was now unable to stand firmly under the pressure of Twilight's might, and his expression was extremely ugly.

It wasn't until Laura looked at her that Twilight stopped breathing and said, "If that person died, I would be the first to leave. Now that even I'm standing here, what are you all worried about?"

'"Listen up, apart from a few of them, everyone else here is trash in my eyes! Trash should look like trash. Don't think too much of yourself. If one day even I leave, you will have the right to worry about yourself. Otherwise, just shut up and wait quietly."

Twilight's domineering palm landed on the conference table, and his eyes swept across the crowd in the conference hall. That imposing aura was so strong that they were unable to speak.

"Even if Lord Alan is alive, who knows when he will be back? What should we do if the empire launches an attack during this period of time?" The officer who asked earlier said embarrassedly.

"I can answer that question." The door of the hall was pushed open and a man walked in with a smile on his face. It was Short who had invited Alan for Felius. '"Everyone, whatever happens between His Majesty and Lord Alan," said Short, spreading out his hands. "His Majesty seemed to have foreseen this situation and made some preparations for it."

Melanie nodded. "Are you referring to the Dobian army that was set up a hundred kilometers north of Undercurrent Three Cities?"

'"That's right. We have set up an army there, numbering around 50,000. Lord Beruke personally presides over it. Unless the Paragon of Shadow Castle personally arrives, the territory of Lord Alan will not be threatened at all. No, there hasn't been any other movement from the empire for a month, have there, my lords?"
