Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1121: Your Path

With that said, the destructive power of Blazing Flame Mountain could not be questioned. Under the eruption of the volcano, the entire town was instantly destroyed. Even without the explosives that had been planted beforehand, this outcome would not be changed. However, even though its might had increased, there were still various flaws. From the activation of the ability to the eruption of the volcano, it would take about 20 seconds of energy storage. Moreover, the gravitational force field created by the Blazing Flame Mountain was limited to experts. Russell, for example, could erupt with Origin Energy to cancel out the effects of the force field, thus leaving the area covered by power before the volcano erupted completely.

Therefore, this ability was useless in the battle of experts, but it had a miraculous effect when used to destroy the battlefield. The destruction of Mason's small town was the strongest proof. Alan looked at the blazing flames in the direction of the small town, his heart mixed with joy and worry. Fortunately, the town was indeed covered with explosives. Now that it was detonated and destroyed by the Blazing Flame Mountain, it would be much easier for the army to pass through tomorrow. The worry was that the number of troops in the small town was much less than he had expected. Not to mention Mason's army, even the cavalry that retreated during the day were not in the small town.

The garrison in that small town was only a limited infantry.

It seemed that there was still a fierce battle to be fought tomorrow, Allen Rushi thought.

In the castle that had been renamed Blaze Fort, Mason stood on the only balcony, his hands clenching onto the railing. The wind brought sparks and dyed his long, pitch-black hair red, and the fire in the small town made Mason's face flush red. Jian Jue's expression was deep silent as he finished his sentence in silence.

Behind him was a person who said, "It's only been a while since that kid has made such great progress. It's really rare."

Mason shifted his gaze back and landed on Midian. The Twilight Prayer was dressed casually, his silver hair loose, and the small town that had turned into a sea of fire reflected in his eyes. Mason said indifferently, "Did you notice him long ago?"

"He's not hiding. It's so obvious that I'm not blind. Why haven't I discovered it?" Midian asked.

Mason smiled. "You've found him and let him destroy the town. Midian, you're a good friend of mine."

'"Don't misunderstand. I'm staying here because of her. If you get killed, I can take her away. As for everything here, that town, and even you. Honestly, what do you have to do with me?" Midian said in a deep voice.

"But you know why I did all this!"

"Of course I know, but I don't think that the only way to save her is to betray the empire. Of course, you chose this path. I can't stop you, so you can try it. If you can't make it, don't worry, there's still me. I'll save her." Midian said calmly.

At this moment, the butler walked into the balcony and saw the two men, his face full of hesitation.

Midian turned around, his silver hair reflecting a flame as he left. Mason sighed and asked, "What is it?"

"Count Russell is back. He's in the lobby."

"I see." josei

The main hall of the castle was brightly lit, surrounded by shiny armor. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Even an arrogant person like Russell did not dare to speak at this moment. He just stood by the side silently. Not long after he heard footsteps, he saw Mason strode into the hall. Russell immediately knelt down and shouted, "Sir, please punish me. Russell did not do a good job and lost the town."

"You really deserve to be punished!" Mason said softly.

However, this light sentence weighed more than the mountains, so much so that Russell did not dare to breathe a single mouthful. He had only said a few words before, but he didn't think that Mason really wanted to punish him. Now that he heard Mason say that, Russell obediently shut up, so as not to make too many mistakes.

Mason sat on the only seat in the hall, his hand resting on his cheek as he looked sideways at the count on the ground. Russell raised his head, but he could feel Marson's sharp sword-like gaze falling on him. He couldn't help but sweat profusely. With his strength, he was unable to withstand the pressure of Mason's gaze. It wasn't until Russell's shoulders trembled that Mason withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to say, "Get up."

Russell felt relieved and thanked him before he dared to stand up. Mason looked at him consciously or unconsciously, "Do you know why I'm punishing you?"

The count hesitated for a long time and could only bravely say, "Your Excellency, please make it clear."

"Because the town is ruined and the soldiers in the town are dead, yet you're standing here alive. Tell me, Russell, did you try to stop the enemy from destroying our town?"

Russell opened his mouth, but he was speechless. He said dispiritedly, "I am willing to accept all the punishment of my lord."

'"You finally understand. You didn't even try to give up your position and soldiers. Russell, what's the difference between you and a deserter? Now I'll give you a chance. Tomorrow, you play forward. I want you to kill at least one of the opponent's experts. Otherwise, don't come back." Mason raised his eyebrows and said, "You should know what kind of expert you are. Don't try to perfunctory me."

Russell nodded abruptly, "I see, my lord!"

Mason waved his hand and Russell retreated from the hall. Mason was the only one left in the huge space. "Woodrick, don't think you can win this war. I just lost a town, and you have to bury everyone here …" Mason said with the corner of his mouth curled up, "Woodrick, don't think you can win this war just like that. I just lost a town and you have to bury everyone here with me …"

He frowned slightly, "Ellen... Milahan broke the city with a knife, and he showed his hand again tonight. It looks like I'll have to personally kill this Earl tomorrow. The empire already has a Ten Saints Tanglio, so don't join in on the fun, will you?"

At dawn, the war drum rose again.

In the camp of the crusade army, the knights of the dragon army advanced in formation. Behind them were the mixed forces of other legions. In addition, there were various siege weapons that left the camp under the pull of the soldiers and horses. Allen was still carrying the assault team from yesterday. Their goal was still to attack and kill the enemy experts on the battlefield. As for Mason, he was greeted by Woodrick and Belkay. It was just that he didn't know if Mason would be able to invite the Empress Scorpion Becatello or the Twilight Prayer Midian this time.

Alan had never seen the Empress Scorpion before, but he was deeply impressed by Midian. On that day at the old Great Wall, the twelve movements of the twelfth of the evening played only a few of the pleasures that had put Allen at a disadvantage. If the twelve movements were played together, Allen could no longer imagine that scene. Even though his saber had already reached the Ten Saints realm, Alan knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the Ten Saints.

At least not yet.

Even if Midian and Alan, who were ranked at the bottom, could hurt him, they would definitely not be able to kill him. And injuring Midian might cost him his life. This was the difference.
