Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 423: Set Sail

All the men who rushed out of the dock had bad expressions. Because they had lived on the water for many years, their skin was greasy black and shiny, and they looked even more powerful. Without exception, these people all had blood shark markings on their arms or where they were, and they rushed forward with their swords and knives in their hands.


A gang fight like this was not unusual in Violet Harbor. The guards in charge of the harbor would only come out to clean up after the fight ended. Hence, they heard the people from the Blood Shark Merchant Guild shouting loudly. Not only did the two guards patrolling the harbor not come forward to stop them, they even left with their feet smeared with grease.


Alan, Regis, and the others stood where they were, while the Mountain King's army flowed past them like water. As for the Dark Blade and Inch Flame warriors, they all stood there silently as if they hadn't seen what was happening in front of them. Just this calmness was enough to make a deep impression.


The Mountain King Warrior raised a square shield in his hand. This shield looked very simple. A rectangular, platinum shield decorated with golden patterns around the edges. In fact, they weren't ordinary steel shields. Instead, they were the Origin Energy shields that they had taken out from the Adahua Planet base. The Mountain King Warrior simply didn't need to activate his shield when facing a mixed-fish-like Blood Shark Fighter.


A shield formed a steel dam, stopping the Blood Shark Fighter. The opponent's sword slashed against the shields. Not to mention the damage, it was impossible to leave a mark on the shields. Seeing that the saber and sword were ineffective, a few men shouted as they lifted their fire/guns and fired at the shield wall. However, the shrapnel only produced sparks, and the shield was still intact.


At this moment, the thugs panicked. From the beginning, their opponent didn't make a single sound. From the standard equipment, it could be seen that there was clearly an army over there, not an ordinary Chamber of Commerce guard. As long as they weren't blind, they could tell that the Mountain King was still far above the standard of an ordinary army, and they immediately felt a sense of fear in their hearts. However, at this moment, he was already unable to get down from the tiger ride, so he had no choice but to forcefully continue knocking on the Mountain King's shield wall.


After the first round of defense, the Mountain King Warrior was no longer courteous. The shield wall suddenly jumped forward. The warriors shouted, and the shield flew up, rushing the Blood Shark Hatchet away. Following that, another row of Mountain King warriors rushed forward, brandishing the steel hammer in their hands. These heavy warhammers flew about, not to mention smashing into it, even if it scratched its scalp, it would still bleed. The warriors behind the shield wall also joined the attack. Immediately, the Mountain King's soldiers entered the flock like tigers, knocking out these tyrannical villains. In just a few breaths, the Blood Shark's thugs were all lying on the ground, moaning.


They either had a few broken bones or were covered in bruises, but none of them were in life-threatening danger. It could be seen that the Mountain King was very discreet in his actions, and he could only do what Allen wanted and not die.


At this moment, someone on the other side of the dock shouted, "Stop! Stop!"


A few people got off a large ship and quickly arrived at the dock entrance. The leader was a white-haired old man with pouches and thin hooked eagle lips. His face was gloomy and ruthless. He looked at the man lying on the ground with his hands behind his back and said, "Who are you? Why did you hurt the guards of our Chamber of Commerce? Tell us your origins and see if our Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce can afford to offend you."


Alan smiled faintly and said, "I've never heard of beating a few bad dogs and having to declare myself. I'm already showing mercy. If you guys don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite."


"Your Excellency, don't go too far. Even if our Chamber of Commerce can't afford to offend you, I'm afraid you won't be able to offend the Lord behind us." The old man laughed sinisterly.


Alan stepped forward and pushed straight towards the old man. His eyes were like flames, and an invisible pressure immediately landed on his opponent's body. It wasn't until the old man's stomach started to tremble that Allen stopped pressuring him, "Since it's a Chamber of Commerce, I'm sure he must have been to quite a few places." Then you should know that the most important thing to do when you come out and walk is to have your eyes shine with snow. Not to mention that I can't afford to provoke that adult behind you, the person in front of me who can't be provoked is obviously me. If you still don't know how to dodge, then be careful of being smashed into pieces. "


The old man was enduring the might emanating from Alan's body, and his heart was filled with doubt. What was shocking was that Allen's killing intent was so strong that he had only seen a few people in his entire life that it could be compared to him. Such a person was either an overlord or a god of slaughter who had walked out of the Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood. Either way, it was as Ellen had said, he couldn't afford to offend them! He wondered when such a figure would jump out of the border of Violet Harbor.


At this moment, Alan withdrew his breath. The old man saw that his gaze was behind him and suddenly said, "Belmond, let's go. These are just minions. Don't waste your strength on them."


After saying that, he didn't look at the old man and directly walked forward. The old man turned around in horror, only to discover that at some unknown time, a man dressed in a black robe had actually stood behind him. Strangely, he still had a few guards by his side, but they were completely blind to this man. It wasn't until he noticed the old man's abnormal state that he saw this sudden increase in number of people.


Belmond retreated with a smile and waved a black throwing knife at the old man. Apparently, when the old man was about to do something to Alan, Belmond's knife would kiss his throat.


The old man trembled, not knowing whether he was angry or afraid. Finally, he kicked a man on the ground and shouted, "Go and sweep up the roadblock, you shameful things!"


That's why you mustn't bring your guards back to the ship.


At the pier where Roger's "paradise" flag was erected, a large sailboat was moored at the shore. The ship and dock had sailors loading cargo, and a group of guards were catching the slaves up to the ship. The sailboat was made of wood, three masts erected high, and its sails retracted. A few seabirds stopped at the railings on the deck of the ship. They could see that the hull of the ship was made of wooden boards nailed together, and was only wrapped in iron below the waterline.


There is a row of muzzles on the side of the ship so that when fighting at sea, they can extend their cannons to attack. This was an indispensable force for maritime navigation, so one didn't know how powerful such cannons were. josei


A moment after Alan arrived, a carriage arrived. Roger jumped out of the carriage and shook Alan's hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the Blood Shark Merchant Guild would be here today. Otherwise, I should have notified you in advance, and I wouldn't have been unhappy before," he said.


He then called for a guard, Jeralf, to lead Allen's army onto the ship and arrange a place for the soldiers to rest. He accompanied Allen, Regis, and the others on the other landing deck. When they reached the deck, their line of sight suddenly became clear. Alan looked into the distance and saw that the sea and sky were indescribably vast and magnificent. The tiny disappearance just now had also disappeared.


He leaned on the fence on the deck and asked, "What is the background of the Blood Shark Merchant Guild? They don't seem to put you in their eyes."


"It's not just me," Roger snorted coldly. "The Chamber of Commerce doesn't take Violet Harbor seriously. In their eyes, it's just a supply point and a resting place. They're not the local Chamber of Commerce. The Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce is headquartered in Killer Whale Harbor, another deep-water harbor in the Empire. Killer Whale Harbor and several nearby cities belong to an Earl."


"Bloody Earl Eric is an extreme militant, so the Blood Shark Merchant Guild under him has always been arrogant. Only a few large merchant groups in the empire will make them fear him. As for us, they will never give us a good look." Roger smiled and said, "So Lord Allen taught them a lesson today. But Lord Allen needs to be wary of the Bloody Earl's revenge."


"If his claws are so long, I don't mind weighing how much weight the count has." Alan looked at the dock on the other side, where the Blood Shark Merchant Guild's sailboat was docked.


Looking at the sailboat, Roger frowned and said, "The Blood Shark Merchant Guild is not a serious merchant. They can go from being merchants to being pirates when they reach the outer seas." They often robbed merchant ships at sea, but they did it very well, often killing people and sinking ships. So there has been little substantial evidence, and Earl Eric has provided them with protection/umbrellas, which has made it so far. "


"They are pirates. They occasionally catch mutants from the sea and sell them inland. They do not do much better than me. However, they rarely come to Violet Harbor unless they want to capture the Nagas."


"Natja?" Alan was slightly surprised.


'"That's right, mutants living on small islands on the sea. The Nagas are all female races. They are also the top female slaves in the empire, and they are priceless. But it's not easy to capture them. Only part-time pirates like the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce have ideas about the Nagas." Roger shook his head and said, "Ignore them, Lord Allen. Come, take a look at the room I've arranged for you."


It was hard to imagine that on such a sailing ship, the room for Alan to rest was filled with furniture made of peach wood, decorated with distinctive decorations, paintings on the walls, and a glass skylight in the middle of the ceiling. On a sunny day, you can open the skylight at night, sleep on the bed and see the stars and hear the tide at sea.


Just thinking about it, he felt that this scene was extremely beautiful.


Of course, due to the limited space on the ship, it was naturally impossible for the room to be spacious. However, compared to the other rooms on the ship, Ellen's room was already considered luxurious. The room that Regis and the others shared wasn't bad either, but in terms of style, it was much more plain and simple than Allen's.


The departure time was set for the afternoon. At noon, Roger hosted a banquet and invited the chairmen of some Chambers of Commerce in Violet Harbor to sit at a table with Alan. After a meal, Allen's orders increased by a lot. Sean was in charge of these tasks, and he would naturally send these orders back to Sur City or Storm City.


Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Roger's Paradise officially set sail, carrying a full ship of slaves and Allen's party slowly towards Silver Bay Channel. After sailing out of the straits, they would enter the inner sea of the empire-Santa Trina!
