Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 364: On The Blood Night

This is a common mountain snake in the Deepblue Mountain Range. Its yellow-brown body makes it almost impossible to find it hiding in the cracks in the rocks. But now, the snake that should have stayed in the mountains appeared on the wall and silently swam towards the soldiers on duty.

Almost every soldier on duty was targeted by a snake. They might be of different species, but their purposes were strangely identical, as if they had received the same order.

Soldier Sam's eyelids were too heavy to lift. He was originally a young hunter. However, in this recruitment/movement, it was inevitable for them to forcefully recruit into the army. After more than a month of training, they were sent to Storm City like everyone else. The thing Sam wanted to do the most was to return home, but now, he could only stand on the wall as tired as the other soldiers, waiting for the long night to pass.

In the darkest hours before dawn, the Sleeping Demon was tempting him to fall asleep. Just as Sam was about to give up resisting and let himself fall asleep, something suddenly passed by him. He barely opened his eyes, but suddenly he was asleep. Under the light of the fire, he could clearly see a snake raising its head. On its triangular head, two eyeballs were sparkling with an icy cold light.

Sam wanted to shout, but the snake suddenly shot towards him like lightning. The snake kiss opened wide and bit the soldier's throat. Sam stretched out his hand to tear the snake apart, but the snake had already wrapped around his neck and kept tightening, preventing the soldiers from breathing fresh air. The more he struggled, the faster the blood flowed, and the more venom the snake injected into his body was sent to his heart.

The soldier's complexion started to turn green, and he was finally powerless to struggle. He staggered down from the wall with the snake. At the same time, all the guards on the wall were strangled and poisoned to death by the sudden appearance of the poisonous snake.

Alan immediately made a gesture, and the army left the forest and quickly passed through the wilderness. Suddenly, there was a fishy breeze in the forest, and two balls of yellow light appeared in the darkness of the forest. Bai Feifei swiftly swam out of the forest. When the giant snake's body appeared near the army, everyone was shocked by its enormous body and demonic scales.

The king snake swam behind Alan and arched its head, allowing Alan to ride on its head. Then he accelerated and ran over the wilderness like a high-speed train, sending Alan to the gates. Bai Hao raised his head and had already crossed half the height of the defensive wall. There was nothing he could do about the remaining height. He bent his knees and jumped over the wall, gently landing on the guard wall.

Belmond was the second person to approach the defensive wall. He didn't have a king snake, but he could easily jump three to four meters. A chain blade shot out from his sleeve, hooked onto the wall and swung upwards with force, allowing Belmore to easily land on the wall.

At this time, people's voices came from below the city gate, but the soldiers who heard the noise came to inspect. The bright torches made them the most eye-catching targets. Without a word, Allen and Belmond pounced down from the wall. After a few screams, the torch was extinguished. Alan carried Qianjun back to the city gate and opened it a moment later. Roy immediately brought the soldiers in from outside the city. Alan pointed in the direction of the barracks. The big man understood and led the soldiers to the barracks in Storm City.

Allen ordered the Mountain King's troops, along with Belmore and Regis, to form a team. This troop entered the boundless night of Storm City and rushed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. In the end, Lucy and Adele brought the Blazing Battle Soldiers to control the defensive wall and pushed a few carts of cannonballs from the warehouse. As a result, the two cannons on the city wall were ready to fire at any time.

At first, some residents realized that the atmosphere in the city was not right, especially those refugees who were stranded in the city. They hid under the eaves of their houses or spent the night in some remote alley, so they could easily detect outsiders like Alan and the others. When they saw the swords on their bodies and the fine iron warhammer that could easily smash their heads, everyone chose to remain silent.

No one wanted to be killed because of his careless words, so the adults covered the child's mouth tightly. Everyone tried their best to retreat to the deepest corner to avoid attracting attacks.

However, a few minutes later, flames appeared in the direction of the barracks, followed by sporadic sounds of weapons hitting each other and screams of pain. They appeared so abrupt in the silent night that even the few guards in the City Lord's Mansion who had already fallen asleep noticed something unusual.

Maud was still asleep in his bedroom, beside him was the little lover he had recently found. Tonight he wasted a lot of energy on this young, energetic woman. The night was sinking, and Mo De was having a beautiful dream. A shower of knocks on the door woke him up. His chest rose and fell violently. He cursed inwardly and shouted, "Are you crazy? When is it now? Let's talk about something tomorrow!"

After saying that, she wanted to hug Mei and sleep again.

The guard outside hurriedly said, "Sir, the barracks is under attack. We are under attack!"

"What?" Maud jumped up and pounced on the window. He pulled open the thick curtains, and immediately, the flames outside the window leapt into his eyes. The direction of the barracks was already filled with flames, and a corner of the lowered night was also reflected red. It was as if the waves of fire were about to lick into the sky, causing Mo De to be extremely shocked.

Everything was connected at this moment. Mo De murmured, "We've been tricked. What kind of bandits are they trying to distract our main force? Damn it!"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of gunfire rang out downstairs. Mo De's expression changed. Obviously, the other party had already attacked the City Lord's Mansion.

They came so quickly!

"Armor!" Mo De said with a gloomy face.

The battle outside the City Lord's Mansion was short and intense. Several guards fired at Allen and the others from afar. The Mountain King warrior immediately rushed forward and used his shield to form a barrier. The steel barrier quickly pressed forward. Just a few meters away from the guard, a dozen famous Mountain King warriors jumped out from behind the iron curtain. They used their shields to protect their vital points, rushed forward with their fine iron warhammers, and engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the guard.

By the time Alan and Belmond arrived at the gate, the battle was over. Behind the gate was a plaza. The main building behind the small plaza was completely dark, as if the people inside did not know that something had happened outside. Alan nodded to Belmond, who disappeared into the darkness without a trace. Alan shouted, "Baron Maud, I know you're inside. Come out!"

The main building's lobby immediately lit up, and a figure appeared under the fire. Mo De wore a snowy knight armor and a two-handed sword in his hand. The sword was carved with graceful lines and inlaid with gorgeous gemstones, making Mo De appear noble and dignified. In contrast, Ellen, who was carrying an inconspicuous black saber, was as poor as a country bumpkin.

However, in the current situation, Mo De's luxury carried a faint smell of death.

He shrunk his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "I know you, the knights of Sur City. You dare to attack Storm City? Do you know that this kind of behavior is not allowed under the Empire's Constitution?"

"Lord Baron, we both know that the imperial constitution is binding and that it is very difficult to reach this border. Otherwise, why would you have attacked our Sur City in such a big way before?" Allen shook his head and smiled. "And now, what we do. According to the nobles, it's just reasonable revenge. Let alone the empire's constitution, even if this matter goes to the empire's parliament. You should know that we didn't violate certain rules."

'"No matter what you think, my lord. The situation is that your main force is unable to put out a near fire from afar. As for your barracks, they should be under our control now. So, you see, you have no chance of winning. Your best choice is to surrender!"

"Bullshit!" Mo De sneered, "I have another choice, and that is to kill you!"

Alan thought to himself, "I was just about to ask you to do this."

If Mo De really surrendered, that would give him a headache. If he still forcefully killed Mo De at that time, this matter would violate the bottom line that the nobles of the empire could tolerate. Apart from attracting criticism, it would also attract the interference of the empire's military. However, if he didn't kill them, according to the rules of the game between the nobles of the empire, as long as Mo De paid a ransom, even if he gave a portion of his territory to Sur City, Allen and the others would have to retreat. josei

In this way, the entanglement between the two sides would be endless. It would be better for Mo De to take the initiative to challenge him now, but he could take the opportunity to fight to the death.

Mo De himself was a Level 17 Knight. Now that Origin Energy had penetrated his body, the flames of light, coupled with the armor that was fully armed, gave him a sense of the regeneration of a war god. Alan gestured to the Mountain King warriors not to act rashly. This army had no problem dealing with enemies of the same level. Even individual experts one or two levels above them could rely on joint tactics to defeat them.

However, Mo De's level was far higher than the Mountain King's. Even if he could theoretically use sea of people tactics to stack Mo De to death, that would be too much of a sacrifice. There were only thirty Mountain King warriors left, and Alan cherished every single one of them.

When Mo De saw the Mountain King warrior retreat, Alan and the other sword-wielding youth appeared exceptionally dazzling on the empty field. He snorted, ignoring Allen's obvious intention to have a two-on-one fight. With his sword raised high, the baron charged into the arena brightly like a meteor, carrying the flames of Origin Energy from his entire body. The Origin Energy wrapped around the giant sword, and the sword slanted, immediately wrapping around Allen and Regis.

Alan smiled faintly as he faced Mo De's attack. The Qianjun Blade in his hand was dyed with a glittering red light. The heavy saber bounced up and turned into a streak of black lightning that shot toward Mo De. It was like a black tide amidst the shocking waves and attacked upwards.

As for Regis, his toes pressed down on the ground, and he instantly left Mo De's sword momentum after dodging. The Iron Slashing Sword was unsheathed, and with a sword cry, it transformed into a flash that cut through the night and shot towards Mo De horizontally.

Instantly, Mo De was enemies on both sides.
