Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1151: Welcome Back

Allen's strong Fire Horned Demon crashed into a group of fire dwarves and knocked over more than a dozen of them. It roared loudly, opened its mouth and bit the head of one of the dwarves, directly biting its head off. The Fire Horned Demon waved its arms, and the chains on its bracelet flew. The dwarves that were swept by them all flew backwards. More Fire Horned Demons pounced from behind, charging into the dwarves and pouncing on the dwarves.

However, there were clearly far more dwarves than the Fire Horned Demon. More dwarves passed over the companions that were thrown down and desperately handed the weapons in their hands to the Fire Horned Demon. At this moment, the Fire Boy dived down from the sky and spat out fireballs at the dwarf, pushing the dwarf's forward back. However, there were headless giants and flame knights behind the dwarves. It was hard to say who would win.

Alan leapt up the horn of the Fire Horned Demon and squatted on its head. With a push of his legs, he shot out like a cannonball and charged straight into the dwarf. After Ellen left, the fire horned demon's body lines lit up, and flames sprayed out from the middle of the horn, causing its aura to suddenly become three points stronger.

After knocking down a dwarf's hand, Alan landed on the ground. He spread out his hands and spat out flames from his palms. The flames spat out and retracted, forming two long sabers of flames. Alan leaned forward and dodged into the midget group with his two knives in hand. The two sabers danced, waves of flames surging and swaying. The dwarf's limbs turned ashen when it was swept by the flames. Allen's saber power opened and closed, and no dwarf could enter the space within two meters of his body.

Allen suddenly raised his hands, and high flames suddenly rose from the fire trees around him. Then, streams of fire gathered above Allen's head from the tree crown. In a flash, a fire hovered above Allen's head. He pressed down his hands, pulled down the fire cloud, and clasped his palms in the center. The fire cloud continuously retracted between his palms, forming a bright fireball.

The fireball's color was orange, but as more and more flames were poured into it, the color gradually darkened. In the end, the fireball between Alan's hands had already turned dark red. The slightest perception of the Origin Energy contained within would drive one crazy. Aaron's head suddenly shot up with green flames. He placed his hands on the left and right, and the fireball was pulled flat, forming a wave of flames that pushed it away.

This wave of fire swept across the dwarves, instantly reaching a hundred meters. He continued to move forward and plainly sliced towards the leader of the knights. The knight sitting on the fire horse roared and raised his saber. The giant sickle of flames pulled out an arc of fire and slashed down. When the sickle touched Ellen's wave of fire, the Flame Knight trembled and flew backwards. The wave of fire swept past its warhorse before twisting and flickering. Finally, it exploded into a circle of dark red flames, as if it wanted to isolate the battlefield. It flew more than ten meters into the air.

After the curtain of fire rose, the dwarf in front of Allen moved closer and further away. Everyone's body was dislocated like a domino, and they fell backwards one after another. The final destination was the warhorse of the knight leader. The fire horse's entire body suddenly dissipated, and then its body scattered like a pile of building blocks.

The knight leader fell to the ground. The scythe in his hand melted into iron juice. The arm holding the scythe was completely red, and his gloves were twisted and deformed. It let out a cry mixed with pain and anger, and the flames sprayed out of the mask pointed straight at Alan.

The horse hissed.

Flame Knights flew past behind the leader. The dwarves in front of them automatically moved aside, allowing the knights to charge forward without any hindrance. Alan had two more Fire Sabers in his hand. Apart from that, the rock armor covering his body began to emerge from his shoulders, elbows, knees, and back. A number of sharp spikes of varying sizes began to emerge from his shoulders, elbows, knees, and back.

All the orange patterns on Alan's body lit up as well. Above his head, blue flames spewed out about meters long, like a head of fluttering silver hair.

Alan then rushed into the Blazing Knights.

He became a slaughtering machine, the flame blade in his hand, and the spikes on his body. Alan could use almost any part of his body to attack. Whether it was being slashed by the flame knife or being stabbed by a sharp thorn, it was enough to cause fatal injuries to the Flame Knights and their warhorses. However, the knight seemed to be endless, constantly attacking Allen. Allen grew more and more courageous, and by then, he didn't even need to look at the enemy with his eyes. With just a single slash of his saber, he could slash down the enemy soldiers in front of him, but Yu Jin would still be separated into a dozen knights who attacked the rear.

He had already begun to use that skill that he was not yet proficient in, the Thousand Soldiers.

Even he didn't know how long this battle had lasted. Alan only knew that with the exhaustion of Origin Energy in his body, his Thousand Soldiers were becoming more and more convenient to use. The last saber slashed out, releasing thousands of streams of fire. Every stream of fire struck a knight, and after it flew past like rain, hundreds of fire knights fell from their horses and died with Allen at the center.

In this empty space, Allen looked up and discovered that the army he had brought with him had been completely wiped out. At this moment, the knight leader roared again. Apart from the headless giants slowly approaching, there were even more creatures rushing towards him from the depths of the forest.

The number of enemies was unexpectedly large, and by this time Alan had reached his limit. There weren't many spikes left on his body, and there were countless wounds all over his body. What flowed out of the wounds wasn't blood, but flames. Even the azure flames on his head were only a few inches long.

At this moment, a faint laugh sounded from the depths of the forest, as if ridiculing Alan's overestimation of himself. Alan's eyes lit up as he tried to charge forward. Suddenly, the leader of the knights, the surrounding fire dwarves, the headless giants, and the other enemy soldiers retreated. Alan then saw the burning canopies of the fire trees and the blurry earth in the distance. Only then did he realize that it was not that things were going backwards, but that he was beginning to leave this world.

When he came back to his senses and was in a trance, he saw the window of the bedroom, and the noisy voices of people came from outside. Alan patted his head. He had only arrived at Ark Harbor yesterday, but it felt like something that had happened more than ten days ago. He lay down on his back, feeling a burst of exhaustion, and closed his eyes to sleep.

It was already nighttime when Alan woke up again, and his stomach growled as if he had been hungry for several days. So at dinner, everyone saw him wolfing down his food. After eating several times his usual food, he exhaled in satisfaction.

After staying at Ark Harbor for two days, Allen finally left the city on the third day of breakfast after bidding farewell to Julian. Julian had to meet the nobles one by one in the south to win over his feelings and strengthen the alliance. The second prince had something he needed to do. Alan also had his own matters to attend to. He had already left the territory for a while, so he had to go back and take a look. At the same time, he had to prepare for the invasion of the foreign army. According to Vera's prediction, the army of the Shadow Duchy in the south might use his territory as a breakthrough point. Otherwise, Vera would not have such a premonition.

Moreover, before he went north, the Shadow Duchy had used Mountain City as a bridgehead to invade the south. Alan believed that they would not give up this plan easily.

When he left Ark Harbor, he casually brought Nabott along. Allen wasn't in a hurry to return to Dawn Castle. Instead, he took the former Prime Minister to Glory Light Academy. All the academicians and students of the academy were incomparably excited by the arrival of His Excellency the Prime Minister. In the eyes of the scholars, Naboth was like a Ten Saint expert to a martial artist. He was a respected idol.

Nabott circled around the academy and appreciated Alan a little more. He sighed, "I'm afraid only the Royal Academy can compare to yours. But the Royal Academy is only open to royal children and some nobles. It's not as open to commoners as you are. The structure of Lord Alan is indeed extraordinary. No wonder you have achieved so much today."

Of course, Allen smiled at this compliment. In the end, Nabott stayed in the academy and hung up an honorary lecturer, but the Prime Minister was not in a hurry to start his own course.

It was already the fourth day he had arrived at Ark Harbor after returning to Dawn Castle. Alan saw a dragon in the City Lord's Mansion. The dragon was thinner than it was a few months ago, but he was full of energy. It seemed that the job of managing the territory did not bother him, nor did it waste Alan's trust in him. In the study, Long briefed Allen on some of the major events that had taken place in the territory over the past few months. There was little to talk about in terms of people's livelihood, but in terms of military matters, there were significant changes compared to before Allen went north.

The first was the army. On the basis of the territory's balance of payments, the dragon finally managed to keep the total number of troops at around 5,000. This included the Mountain King, Inch Fire, Dark Blade, and a few other elite troops. In addition to the regular infantry, cavalry, and musketeers, Allen's current army was rich in armies. In addition to Roy and the others' strict training, this army had extraordinary combat strength. josei

In terms of equipment, after Lin Si's weapons workshop had two chariot production lines, it had already produced ten chariots in the past few months. Currently, these ten warriors were being thrown into Mountain City to prepare for the possible war. Apart from the war chariots, the weapons workshop was also working hard to produce Divine Vulcan and Thunderfire Heavy Rifles. These were all sharp weapons on the battlefield, so the Dragon could be said to have answered Lin Si's demand in terms of resources.

Apart from that, Lin Si also designed several special artillery shells, such as flame shells that were similar to nitro grenades, explosive shells aimed at miscellaneous artillery fodder, and explosive shells used for mass destruction. These cannonballs can be used on war chariots, and can also be used on divine volcanoes.

While Long was giving the briefing, heavy footsteps sounded from outside the study. Then, the door was pushed open and a tall figure squeezed in. As soon as he entered the room, the study immediately became crowded. When Alan saw him, he laughed and said, "Hubble, you're back. I'm relieved to see that you don't intend to stay in Shadow Duchy for long."

"What's so good about the Duke of Shadows? Those guys aren't funny. They don't drink at all!" Snorted the Gatu man who had squeezed into the room.

"It's all thanks to the fact that the outsiders don't like drinking. Otherwise, the big guy probably wouldn't want to come back." Behind Hubble, Belmore and Kira came together. The two were much more polite than Hubble and bowed to Alan at the same time. Belmond raised his head and smiled brightly, "Welcome back, Young Master Allen."
