Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 380: Can't Go Back

"Lord Baron." Hagrid immediately bowed to Sharon in accordance with the strictest of aristocratic etiquette. In this regard, he had never been criticized.

Sharon snorted and said, "What, is Lord Haggers going to chase me down for executing a female slave?"

'"How dare this subordinate? It's just that this subordinate also spent a lot of money to get it. I originally intended to please her, but now it seems that the Baron is not interested in her." Hagrid smiled bitterly.

"Hmph, so Lord Haggers is feeling heartache for the money he spent? I say who found the woman from where, clumsy, looking at it makes me annoyed."

"Lord Baron, you must be joking. Since Her Lady thinks she is stupid, why don't I lure a few more good things for big shots?"

"No need." Sharon said coldly, "How do I know if these women come from unknown origins? I just want outsiders to see my jokes."

Haggers knew what he meant and immediately sighed, "Sir Baron, can you stay with me for a while? This subordinate would like to have a good talk with you."

After a moment of hesitation, Sharon nodded and walked into the room. Hagrid was about to follow when Tucker stepped forward and said, "Baron, do you need me …"

"No need. If Lord Haggers wants to harm me, even if you are by my side, it will be useless." After Sharon finished speaking, he went into the room.

Hagrid glanced at Tucker and then went in. The room was lit up with candles, illuminating the stone room. Seeing that there was no one around, Hagrid sighed and said, "My friend Sharon, the misunderstanding between us over the years is too deep."

"Misunderstanding?" '"What you and Melinda did was called a misunderstanding? Don't think I don't know whose child Bill is. It's just that I can't bear to break his heart. But I want you to know that no matter what, I won't put Bill on the list of successors!" Sharon turned around like a whirlwind and almost collided with Hagrid.

"No, old friend. Bill is indeed your child, and you've verified it, haven't you?"

"Verify." '"Who doesn't know that you, Lord Haggers, are in the Black Iron Castle with one hand covering the sky?" Sharon laughed. "Those medical officers are trying to curry favor with you, so it's hard to guarantee that the results reported to me won't be altered."

"Most importantly, not only does Bill look like you, he also has talent …" Sharon snorted. "I'm already 55 this year, and I've been at level 16 since 10 years ago. It's already pretty good that I haven't retreated. I know that my talent in Origin Energy is limited. Look at Bill. He's only 15 years old. Perhaps only you can give him this kind of talent, right? "

Hagrid shook his head and said, "Your prejudices against me are too deep, old friend. I want you to understand that I am loyal to the Black Iron Castle and to you. Please don't be fooled by the illusion."

"I'm afraid it's not an illusion that deceives me, but you!" Sharon patted his chest and said, "I'm old, but I'm not old enough to see if a person is good or bad. Hagrid, you've been ambitious ever since I met you. You probably married Melinda to me just for the sake of seizing the position of lord today, right?"

"If the Baron thinks that I have an ulterior motive, please punish me now. I will not resist!" Hagrid said loudly.

Sharon chuckled coldly and waved his hand, "Alright, Lord Haggers, stop acting. If the Black Cloud Knights were waiting for your personal guards, you wouldn't have resisted, but how could the Black Cloud Knights have ignored them? What you said was just taking the initiative to fuck your hand. But don't be complacent. One day, you'll regret what you've done."

Hagrid looked straight at Sharon for a moment before nodding, "Well, this is my last attempt to reconcile with you." It seems that the misunderstanding between us can no longer be cleared up in a few words. Well, Lord Sharon, you might as well treat us as partners. You see, there is another ferocious beast in front of us now. Storm City is no longer what it used to be, so you won't deny your proposal to cooperate with them. Then, their men will probably arrive tomorrow and the next two days. Before the end of this meeting, I think we should put on a show. So that no one can see that we seem to be on the same page and give each other an opportunity to take advantage of it. "

"What do you think?" josei

"Of course," Sharon nodded his head forcefully. "I'm glad our neighbors are stronger. They scared you, Hagrid. But those damned fellows killed my daughter. Sooner or later, I'll settle this debt with them."

"That's your freedom, but right now, we shouldn't be enemies with them for at least two to three years. After all, we are currently fighting for Earl Blue Sequoia's cooperation with all our might. It's really not a good time for us to regain our footing." Haggers bowed deeply to Sharon and said, "I wish time were back when we were young, when we were brothers who could block each other's knives. But now, it's a pity that we have to be on guard against each other."

After saying that, he retreated and left. In the room, Sharon seemed to have been touched by Hagrid's words. Suddenly, his anger disappeared completely. He felt exhausted at the end of his body and sat down heavily on the chair. The baron seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Unfortunately, we can't go back." The baron said softly in the room.

Two days later, Alan arrived at the gangster's nest. From afar, the ten Black Cloud Knights at the entrance could be seen in two groups, standing neatly on both sides, welcoming the guests solemnly. People could be heard hissing from inside. It looked like the Black Iron Castle had brought quite a few people over. Alan looked to both sides. This time, he brought Regis, Bloy, and Belmore along with him.

Allen said, "If Black Iron Castle were to set up heavy troops inside and wait for us to deliver ourselves, we would be in a very bad situation."

Broy snorted, "If that's the case, I'll take the Mountain King and smash their Black Cloud Cavalry into meat sauce."

'"There shouldn't be much of a chance of this happening, but we should be careful. Once we start fighting, let me handle Hagrid. Legus, you call for Sir Sharon, and Belmore entangles the personal guard commander second only to Hagrid. As for Broy, you can lead the soldiers on their way."

After making the necessary arrangements, the entrance was already within sight. Haggers put on a pitch-black background today, painted with bright red paint at the edges and decorated with moire all over his plate armor. He stepped off his horse and carried a heavy knighthood spear. The rifle's body was two meters long and was shaped like a cone. It was covered in spiral patterns and looked like a drill bit.

This kind of weapon was rarely used. After all, the most important use of a knight's spear was to charge and collide. It was too clumsy to use it to compete among experts. Due to the limitations of the artifact, the knight's spear could mostly use stabbing and projecting. In this regard, an ordinary steel sword in the hands of an expert was a hundred times more convenient than a knight's spear.

With Hagrid's strength, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to use a knight's spear as a decoration. Apparently, he had worked hard on this gun.

"Welcome, Lord Allen," laughed Hagrid as he moved away from the heavy knighthood spear. "It's been a long journey."

Alan smiled and greeted him, and Hagrid said, "Please come in. Sir Sharon has been waiting for a long time."

As Hagrid entered the stronghold, the first thing he saw was the Black Cloud Knights on both sides. The heavily armored knights and horses stood quietly on either side of the road, their horses supporting fire and knights' guns at the same time, but their knights' guns were clearly much thinner than Hagrid's. However, using it to sprint at high speed was enough to kill. If thirty heavily armored knights simultaneously attacked the enemy with Origin Energy-infused rifles, ordinary infantry regiments would not be able to intercept such a penetrating attack, and their defensive line would inevitably have to be torn open.

Moreover, these Black Cloud Knights also carried shields and sabers on their backs. Clearly, they were not only skilled in mobile charging. Probably getting off a warhorse was a heavy infantry who was good at close combat. Combining the two types of heavy armor into one, Black Iron Castle could be considered as having enough capital in this order of knights. All of the knights with standard combat strength, as well as the tactical training of multiple services, were a huge investment, and it was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

In comparison, Storm City's Raging Thunder Knights were much weaker.

Next up were the regular infantry, and the Black Iron Castle's infantry were also all in pitch-black armor. When he saw these infantry, Allen's mood relaxed a lot, because these infantry could only be considered ordinary goods. The Black Iron Castle had invested heavily in the Black Cloud Knights, so it was only an ordinary standard for regular soldiers. If one considered the fact that the Black Cloud Cavalry was equivalent to Haggers' private soldiers, then it would not be difficult to explain why there was a huge gap in strength between the knights and the infantry.

While observing the Black Iron Fort's military strength, Alan had already unconsciously thought about how to use the weakness of the disparity in strength between the two arms to break through if they met on the battlefield.

As Alan observed the Black Iron Castle, Sharon was paying attention to his new neighbor's army.

When Sharon saw Alan's face, which was even more tender than his youngest son, he, like most people, showed contempt and disdain. Then, his gaze landed on Broy. The Highlanders were carrying the Hammer of Extinction. Their simple sitting posture made Sharon's skin feel as uncomfortable as a needle. That hard, rock-like aura made Sharon feel that Bloy was a fierce general on the battlefield.

Even though he couldn't compare to an expert like Hagrid, he wasn't far away.

Looking at Regis and Belmond, the former held the longsword in his arms as if nothing had happened, but his eyes flashed with sword-like sharpness from time to time. The latter had a lazy smile on his face, and his aura was subtle and agile. He was clearly an expert who had used his speed to the limit. The two of them had their own characteristics. After looking at the three of them, Sharon's gaze on Alan changed.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that if he could use these three experts, then Allen himself would not be simple!
