Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1086: Three In One Move

'"Big brother, you need to discipline your subordinates," Julian said as he stepped in front of Allen and looked at Hawson. "Don't tell me that the laws of the empire won't work when you attack an Empire knight in Oliska?"

"My dear brother, don't put on such a big hat for me. Which eye of yours sees that I'm out of control?" Hawson's face remained calm, and his gaze fell on the trespassing man. "Ollie, you're very powerful now. You don't have to listen to my orders anymore. Did I ask you to attack Sir Alan? Dogs, you have to be obedient to be recognized by their owners. What's the use of those disobedient wild dogs?"

"Which hand did you use to attack Sir Alan just now? Stay behind for me and get out of Oliska. Don't be embarrassed by my side!"

The man named Ollie trembled and knelt down with a sad face. "Please, Your Highness, please don't do this to me …"

Hawson waved his hand in disgust.

Behind him, a man as tall as an iron tower walked over and lifted Ollie away like a chicken, followed by two more men. Only then did Hawson put on a smile and blinked at Julian, "My dear brother, the Royal Spring Hunt is coming up in a few days. I wish you good luck here." "My promise will not change," he said to Allen. "Sir Alan will figure it out one day. You can come to me anytime. My door will always be open to you."

Ellen replied politely.

Hawson smiled and turned around. At this moment, a man's miserable scream sounded from afar. Alan looked over and saw that Hawson's subordinate was dragging the man named Ollie outside the city gate. Ollie's hand was cut off shoulder to shoulder, blood flowing out, dragging out a blood-colored carpet on the ground.

Julian's face was not as sunny as before, and he looked a little gloomy. He smiled bitterly at Alan. "Hawson has always been overbearing, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant."

'"Your Highness Hawson is not that simple. You see, he only said a few words and already planted a thorn between you and me, Your Highness. If everyone only sees his domineering arrogance and ignores that he is actually not inferior to anyone's schemes and wisdom, then his opponent will suffer." Alan revealed a faint smile and looked at Julian with clear eyes.

Julian was enlightened. He stretched his brows and patted Ellen's shoulder affectionately, "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise Hawson would have succeeded. To tell you the truth, I was really uncomfortable listening to him recruiting you in front of me. Now that you've broken it, it's naturally another matter. So close, so close."

Alan smiled and didn't say anything, thinking that the second prince was also approachable and had a bit of a pure heart. He didn't know if this was because of his nature, or if he was trying to pull a cage to show his goodwill. However, one thing he could believe was that those who were qualified to compete for the crown prince's position were not simple. How could Julian be an exception if Hawson was like this?

The team set out.

Julian and Alan rode side by side. The Silver Frost Iron Guards landed behind the two of them. The caravan was like a long dragon walking along the main road of the imperial capital. Julian occasionally told Ellen about local customs or anecdotes. He talked well, and had a sense of humor even when he spoke of trivial matters, and Allen thought that he must be a born politician, and no wonder he was the only student of the Prime Minister.

Seeing more colorful flags hanging in the city, Allen asked curiously, "Is there a celebration in Oliska recently?"

"There is no celebration. It's just that my father, Wang Gang, recently married his thirteenth wife." Julian added: "It was a Naga beauty who said she was married to my father, but it was a hostage and a political marriage. The Naga Clan had used this method to obtain the protection of the royal family, and this had been the case ever since the rise of the empire. However, even though they were hostages, Rou Gunaga's reputation was far and wide. After I become the emperor, I'll probably have a chance to taste the exotic scenery, haha. "

Alan smiled slightly. At the same time, he thought that during this period of time in Oliska, it would probably be better for Nelly and the others to live in seclusion, so that no one would know that he actually had a famous Green Dragon Knight in his hands, which would only add to their worries. Julian lowered his voice and asked, "What did you do just now?"

"Regis, my brother."

"Oh. His strength is pretty good. I wonder how many other experts are there in Sir Alan's hands?" Julian asked with a hint of hope.

"There are two people stronger than him. One is my woman, and the other is Commander Fares. Both of them are Level 23. Strictly speaking, Captain Fares is not my subordinate. He is only my hiring guide to the north. He was the leader of the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group, and even Huo Yi had commented on his spear skills. "Apart from being my guide to the north this time, the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group hopes to have a foothold in the imperial capital."

Julian's eyes lit up and he nodded, "This is simple."

He was overjoyed to learn that Allen still had two people stronger than Regis. Judging from Regis' performance just now, even if the youth's strength was in Hawson's hands, he would still be able to squeeze into the top five. Besides, there were two more powerful ones than Regis, which would be of great benefit to Julian's next arrangements. Aside from Alan's woman, the mercenary captain named Fares could also fight for her. With Julian's status, it would not be difficult to arrange a foothold for the Frozen Moon Mercenary Company in Oliska. Julian could also use this to win over an expert like Fares. The Second Prince also had a few Level 20 masters in his hands, but his combat strength and fame were far inferior to Alan, who had used his own strength to gain such a great reputation all the way up north. josei

However, the Dao of Subjugation was most likely dominated by one side. It was naturally a good thing to get Allen's help, but if there was no other checks and balances, or if it threatened Allen's subordinates, it would probably make Allen sit up and make others unconvinced. Right now, there was a Fares. Although he couldn't compare to Alan, he was still at least at level 23. He could more or less balance the internal relationship.

Julian's mind spun as he watched the corner of his mouth curl into a slight arc. Allen knew that it was only at this moment that the Second Prince's heart was relieved. Recommendation of Fares to Julian was a decision he and Edward had made before arriving in the Northern Capital and had informed Fares beforehand. This way, not only did the Second Prince not worry about Allen, but it also gave the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group a good chance to develop. It was also worthy of Fares' hard work and Rick's sacrifice.

Fares certainly wouldn't reject such an opportunity, and Allen reaped his goodwill. The goodwill of a future captain of a large mercenary group was neither big nor small. Edward's simple suggestion, which Allen had won three times in one go, was not worth it.

The imperial capital, Olis, was divided into four walls, dividing the city into four districts. The old districts of Mount Dawn and Dawn Castle were the first districts, and the other three districts were arranged in turn. After constant adjustments, the current pattern was formed. The empire was clearly divided, and so was Oliska. The four districts were different in status, and the oldest district was the most noble. Almost all of the people living in this district were royal nobles, as well as important officials of the empire, including their families and even the craftsmen, servants, and guards who served them. The second area was the residence of an imperial official, a wealthy merchant from Fujia. District 3 was a gathering place for ordinary merchants and noble citizens. The so-called noble people were collateral members who were related to royal nobles or important officials of the empire. They weren't nobles, but they weren't ordinary commoners, so they got a nickname for noble citizens. The last fourth sector was the largest, inhabited by civilians, soldiers' families and even slaves.

Julian led the caravan through several city gates and finally arrived at one of the estates on Dawn Avenue in the first district. This manor was exquisite in layout, elegant in buildings, and bright in light. Pavilions, fountains, and stone sculptures were scattered, different from the tall and solemn feeling displayed by most buildings in Olisga. This was Julian's private residence, which would be his residence during his stay in Allen.

As for the rest of the caravan, there were other arrangements.

Julian showed Ellen around the manor and said, "I have to go back to Fort Dawn, and Ryan will stay by your side." If you need anything, feel free to ask him. The Internal Affairs Division should bring your Earl's uniform this afternoon. Quickly, tomorrow, and in three days, Father will personally confer honors on you to become a Lord. "Sir Alan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must perform well in front of your father!"

"Also, soon is the royal spring hunt days. Originally, the Royal Spring Hunt was held every three years to allow us royal youths to experience and enhance our feelings. However, this year's spring hunt is somewhat special. Teacher has already told me that it's fine for the others. However, the performances of me, Hawson, and Savis will be included in the Crown Prince's assessment. "It's good that you're here before the spring hunt. In the next few days, Ryan will explain to you some of the details that need to be paid attention to in the spring hunt. At that time, I'll need your help." Julian said seriously, "This first crown prince examination is exceptionally important. Whether you can leave a deep impression on father will depend on this time!"

"I will do my best." Alan nodded.

Julian smiled. "Don't worry, Sir Alan. I can't give you an imperial division now, but if one day I can ascend to the throne, you can choose the commander of the elite corps. This is my promise, and it will last forever."

Allen had thanked him, but he didn't care too much about such empty checks. Of course, he had to show his gratitude on the surface. Alan exhaled after Julian left in satisfaction. Looking at the scenery of the surrounding manors, he muttered, "I've finally arrived in the imperial capital."

All of this had a rather unreal feeling.
