Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1142: Dock Alarming Change

Just after dinner, Taylor came back with a serious expression. He first handed Alan two brightly colored pills. The red one was a poison, and its incubation period was 40 days. It was enough for them to complete their voyage to the sea. The green one is the antidote. After half an hour, the endotoxin will be removed. Alan handed the red poison to Diego in front of Julian and the others. The latter swallowed it very straightforwardly and raised his hand. "Now believe me, I am sincere."

Alan put away the antidote and said, "I'll give it to you when we get to Ark Harbor."

"I believe in you. It just so happens that you believe in me." Diego shrugged, "Then you must get down to business. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye." He said to Taylor, "Thank you for the dinner. They're so delicious. You know, I've been living a life worse than a homeless man all this time, and the bitter days are finally over."

After Diego left, Taylor closed the door and ensured that he, Alan, Julian, Edward and Solin were the only ones in the room. The merchant said in a low voice, "My men at Twilight Castle have just sent word that what Mr. Diego said has happened. Not long ago, a few people broke into the castle and found Bilgan. It is obvious that they are coming for us."

Leng Lin sighed, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen." He then said to Julian and Alan, "Thank you, Your Highness, and everyone for believing in me and letting me know about this."

Julian smiled and looked at Alan, who said, "If Mr. Solin is a spy, then I can only blame Archduke Elizabeth for being blind."

"Just say this behind the back of the Grand Duke. Don't say it in front of her." Shuo Lin said nervously.

The others began to laugh, but in the face of the great enemy, this laughter sounded like they were enjoying themselves in bitterness.

Edward muttered, "If I were a hawk sent by Hawson, and had come to find Bill Gump now, I would have used the power of a lord to deal with us openly." Tiger Shark Harbor was a port city. Once the other party locked down the city, the only way to leave was by water. So I think the vultures are going to ask the lords to close the harbor and keep the ships out of the harbor. In this way, we can only sit in the city and wait for death. "

"Also, although Mr. Taylor arranged for us to come to Tiger Shark Harbor, we did not alert too many people. But if you want to investigate, there are plenty of ways to contact Mr. Taylor. For example, the daily consumption of food was an obvious flaw. "We have to eat a lot of food every day," Edward said confidently. "So we have to go tomorrow, no matter what." That way, the vultures will be distracted from Mr. Taylor. And when they turn around and want to investigate, I think Mr. Taylor has remedial measures in place. "

Taylor nodded, "Just give me a day or two. I can work on the food and make sure they don't miss anything."

"In other words, the only thing left for us is to leave Hong Kong." "But don't forget that the merchant ship we're going to use is also related to Mr. Taylor," Julian said. "According to our previous plan, there shouldn't be any problems. Now that Condor has intervened, I'm afraid that if we use the original merchant ship again, it will bring trouble to Mr. Taylor."

"I have an idea on this point. You can leave Hong Kong and let Mr. Taylor get away from us." Edward laughed.

The evening breeze was gentle.

Charlie yawned and supported the helmet on his head, complaining, "This damn sea breeze is rusting my new collar."

The two guards beside him laughed. One of them said, "Captain, what's there to be afraid of if the armor is rusty? It's good that you don't rusty there."

Another said, "The captain is not afraid of rust. It just so happens to be Roberto Nassau. It's too late for the captain to be happy when the woman is milled."

Charlie said angrily, "What do you two bastards do all day except think about women? Cut the crap and go back to sleep."

Charlie was the captain of the harbor guard, and every night, after the ship had been settled in, the guard had to patrol, sometimes several times. In case any ship forgets to be secured and taken away by the waves, the guard office will ask the merchants to rip off the ceiling tomorrow. It's not like this hasn't happened before. Charlie doesn't want to deal with those cunning businessmen. He preferred a woman like Robella, whose mouth, apart from being eloquent enough to please him, would do something else, something that men would like.

Charlie licked his lips when he thought of Robella. Unfortunately, it was his turn to be on duty tonight. Otherwise, he would be able to enjoy the service of that small mouth in bed now.

"Eh? Why is there still someone here?" A guard cried out and raised the lantern in his hand, a lamp with a cover and no need to worry about being blown out by the wind. josei

Under the lights, there was indeed a team heading in the direction of the dock. Charlie frowned. "Look."

He stood in the middle of the road and loudly asked, "What's going on? Why are you still at the dock so late?"

"Captain Charlie, right? I'm Jeter."

One of the men in the team was the first to trot over and jump off the horse near the guard. He was a dark middle-aged man. Charlie recognized him. This was Captain Jeter. He had been employed by the Golden Sail Merchant Guild for many years, and he usually had some friendship with Charlie. Charlie was stunned when he saw that it was him. "Captain Jeter, who are you?"

"Isn't there a shipment to the south tomorrow? The boss added some goods on the spot and told us to ship them first, so that we can set sail early tomorrow morning." Jeter said with a bitter face, "Merchants, there is no profit but we have to work hard for most of the night."

"So that's how it is. Then you guys should be busy. Let me know when you leave." Charlie knew very well that the owner of the Golden Sail Merchant Guild, Taylor, was now a big star in Tiger Shark Harbor. Not to mention that he already had some friendship with Jeter, even if he didn't, he didn't dare to make things difficult for Golden Sail's people, so he let them go straightforwardly.

Jeter jumped on his horse and said, "When I get back, I'll find you for a drink."

"It's a deal." Charlie patted his horse and said, "Go get busy."

The squad passed under Charlie's nose, and the captain did not know that Captain Jeter's smile disappeared as soon as he entered the dock. He quickly led the team to the vicinity of the three merchant ships with golden sails. The captain got on the ship and woke up the sailors on the ship. Then, he opened the cargo boxes one by one. However, what was inside was not a cargo, but a steel-edged warrior and a blacksmith from Dragon Spear Town.

In one of the boxes, Lucy jumped out. She nodded to the captain and waved her hand, ordering the Iron Sharp Warriors to board the ship in three groups. The blacksmith from Dragonspear Town followed closely behind, and then Jeter went to the ship and met the other two captains. They quietly untied the ropes that held the ship, and the sailors took their places, ready to leave the harbor at any time.

After all this was done, the sound of horse hooves came from the direction of the dock entrance.

Charlie was also shocked when he heard the sound of horse hooves. He hurriedly brought the guards and ran towards the entrance of the dock. A moment later, he saw a group of cavalry flying in this direction. Charlie knew that something was wrong with the situation, but he still mustered up his courage and shouted, "Who are you? Stop! This is an important dock area, no trespassing. No offenders are allowed to be arrested!"

The knights stopped. The man at the front had eye-catching silver hair. He smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Bill Gump kept cursing, but sat helplessly in the carriage. The carriage was galloping towards the harbor. There were no guards behind the carriage, only the man named Searle and his ten or so subordinates. Searle asked him to personally go to the dock overnight, ordering the harbor guards to close the dock and prohibit ships from leaving the harbor. Bill Gump had intended to give the order tomorrow, but Searle insisted he had to.

Considering that if he did not do so, the man would probably use force against him again, the count could only curse in his heart, but he had to go to the harbor instead of having dinner.

Searle sat on the horse with a gloomy expression on his face. They had received information that Julian and Allen were in Tiger Shark Harbor. As long as the port was closed and the city sealed off, there would be no escape for those usurpers. At that time, it would only be a matter of time before they were caught. After doing the job well, Searle was on the verge of promotion. When he thought that he was about to become a Rotten Vulture, his entire body was burning with excitement.

At this moment, a pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the direction of the harbor. The pillar of fire seemed to be about to lick the night sky, and the explosion from afar caused the horse to panic. '"Everyone, follow me!" Searle shouted to himself, ignoring Bilgan.

He brought his subordinates with him and rushed over.

A bad premonition was rising in his heart.

When he arrived at the harbor, several boats on the edge of the dock were on fire, and three others left the harbor. Searle ran all the way to the dock and couldn't help but roar when he saw the three merchant ships hiding in the darkness. He turned around and his eyes were bloodshot, "Go find the person in charge of the dock!"

A few minutes later, Charlie, whose armor was shattered, was thrown at Searle's feet. At this time, Bill Gump also arrived. Looking at the messy dock, Bill Gump screamed, "What's going on?"

Searle kicked Charlie on the ground. "Perhaps this gentleman can give us an answer."

Charlie didn't know Sal, but he recognized Bill Gump. '"Sir, it's none of my business," he howled at his feet. "The other party is too strong and there are too many people. We can't stop him."

Searle pulled him up and pointed at an obvious blank spot on the dock. "Whose boat is that?"

"It's from the Golden Sail Merchant Guild. Their merchant ship was supposed to set sail tomorrow …"

At this moment, another carriage drove into the dock. A man jumped out of the carriage and shouted at Bilgan from afar, "Count, help me no matter what. Not only did those bastards steal my boat, they also stole my cargo and the captains. If I don't find them, my losses will be hard to estimate."

Bill Gump felt big, because that person was Taylor, his biggest creditor.
