Edge of the Apocalypse

Hank knew that his opponent was about to fight back when he saw the red on the heavy blade. However, when Qianjun bounced and drew a red trail in the night, Hanke was shocked to realize that the opponent's counterattack had come so fast, so fast that he was not even ready, and the sharp blade of the sword had been constantly changing. Expand in the eyes.

Hank let out a beastly roar, pressing himself against the bottom of the box. Pressing the whole body Yuanli into the double sickle, the sickle showed a hazy light blue flame, staggered towards the heavy knife.

when!

With a loud noise, the source of light on Hank's twin sickles was immediately shattered, and the sickle body was even more distorted. He was shocked, but saw the heavy knife float up, and the blade slashed a dark red, violently provoked it from the bottom.

Hank couldn't hold the double sickle anymore, and the sickle spun out of his hand. He cursed, turned and ran. Such an opponent, how can he still have the mind and fighting spirit to fight again.

With the sudden sound of the wind in his ears, Hank instinctively blew up the source force, creating a layer of source force shield on his body. As soon as the shield was condensed and formed, Hank's whole body was shaken, his ears were full of the sound of shattering the shield and the surging source. He suddenly saw a dark blade emerge from his chest, and the red light on the blade was as dense as blood.

The next moment Hank knew that it was really blood, and it was blood brought out by the knife from his body. Qianjun's blade is rough, and it passes through his chest. Don't expect the wound to be smooth as a mirror. Hank's chest was stabbed with an irregular wound by the rough blade, and blood flowed out along the blade. The bald-headed man felt that his strength had also faded with the flow of blood, and took two steps forward, finally his body weakened and fell to the ground and died.

Alan drew a heavy knife from the corpse, Hank was so weak that he was not even qualified to warm up.

When Hank died, the group lost their fighting spirit. A lot of people were killed for the mountain king's troops and Willick, and the remaining bandits fled towards the wilderness after seeing the situation wrong. At the end of the battle, the bandits left twenty or thirty bodies, and the rest fled back to the wilderness. After searching them for a while, Allen had a bag of gold coins, more than ten intact fire/guns, some ammunition, and ten horses.

Together, these things can be considered a small wealth. Especially the ten war horses, their value is far above other gains.

On Ellen's side, several of their core combat members were unscathed, while the soldiers of the Mountain King's troops were mostly slightly injured. After this battle, Dima and the worshippers finally knew the benefits of armor. Those bandits who didn't have the source of inspiration could not break the steel light armor with their swords. Otherwise, Dima and the others would not be hurt by pain or itching.

This is the first battle of the mountain king, even though the opponents are unruly thieves. But in the battle, the mountain king showed the results of their training and gained valuable practical experience. These people have their own gains, especially Dima, this young worshipper looked excited, as if he could not wait for more bandits to train.

The morning light began the next day, and the caravan left the camp. As for the corpses of the bandits, they stayed in place. It won’t take long for the corpses to become food for wild animals and fertilizer for this wasteland.

As the sun was about to fall to the west horizon, several people in cloaks disappeared from Mato's sight after paying the tariffs for entering the city. Mato frowned. Those people were adventurers. Since the Baron of York, in order to obtain the so-called treasure of the Aspen Mountains, issued a bounty to adventurers, and the city of Suhl has been continuously visited by adventurers, it has been two or three months since the adventurer has not been seen.

But recently, their numbers have increased again, and they rushed into the city of Suer at intervals, not knowing why. Although most of the adventurers entering the city behaved in peace, but Matto doubted whether the number of the city defense team could suppress these guys who were running around. Once they cause trouble, I am afraid that the city defense team will not be put in their eyes.

Adventurers are mostly restless guys, otherwise they would not engage in this special industry. They are in peace now, but it does not mean they will remain in peace. Mato decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion in order to borrow Allen's team equipped with fierce rifles. Only when that strong team sits in town, Mato will feel more at ease.

Handing over some affairs to the adjutant, Mato did not go home to eat, and went directly to the city lord's mansion. When passing by the bar, the two men scuffled and rushed out of the door, followed by a few adventurers. Not only did not persuade him to fight, but also followed up with booing. When he saw the uniform on Mato's body, he converged slightly, and the two fighting men also hurriedly ended and left the bar.

Mato shook his head, things like this will only increase.

Edward was still working in the office when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Baron York’s vault was almost exhausted by him, but when all the valuable collections were sold, the money in exchange was used for the construction of city defenses and the transformation of city supporting facilities. Scaffolding can be seen everywhere in the city of Su, but all men with some strength have been requisitioned into workers, but no one objected.

After all, the ultimate beneficiaries of these facilities are the people in the city. Compared to the previous practice of Ethan's just a cutscene, Edward, who opened the city's main vault, has won people's respect. People are strange creatures. They can remember well or forget well. After Edward's policy of benefiting the people, not many people remember that the young city owner came from another country. With that, they forget the people related to it, such as Allen, who are not from Suhl at all.

Feeling is always fuzzy.

Seeing Edward who was still working during dinner time, Mato was also touched. The two previous City Lords never missed the time for meals and rest, especially the Baron York. He cares more about whether his treasury is full, not about which city facilities need to be renovated or upgraded.

"Mato?" Edward raised his head and was a little surprised to see the captain of the city defense team: "Why, come to me for dinner?"

"Excuse me, my lord." Matto lowered his head.

"Come in, what made you come to see me specially at this time?" Edward signed his name on a document, put down the ink-stained quill, and looked at the middle-aged man before him.

Mato said straightforwardly: "It's the adventurers, my lord. They seem to have appeared a bit more recently, I always think something will happen."

"Adventurous?" Edward also heard a little about this person, but didn't care too much.

The world is vast and many places are deserted. Those deep mountains and old forests, or crypt abyss are not places that ordinary people can reach. There may be hidden treasures that have been squandered for a lifetime, or some powerful and dangerous behemoth is sleeping. Everything is unknown, and adventurers are the people who specialize in searching for these unknown answers. They go everywhere.

Some people get rich overnight, and more people die silently, buried in an unknown valley or in a dangerous cave.

But Suer City is not a good place for adventure, nor does it have enough wealth to attract the attention of adventurers. The sudden influx of adventurers into the city is an unusual signal in itself, and it's no wonder that Matto is worried. Edward nodded and said, "Are you worried that the city defense team is not strong enough?"

"Yes, adults, whether they are knights or magicians, those guys have an average level of seven or eight. I don't have so many good hands to deal with these people." Mato said truthfully.

"I see. I will transfer the Flame Warriors to you at night. For the time being, they will be handed over to you."

Matuo happily said, "Thank you for your trust, sir."

Edward smiled and said, "So, do you know what this is all about? About those adventurers?"

"This..." Mato said with a wry smile: "They seem to have a certain purpose, but the subordinates don't know what it is. Do you need me to find out?"

"That's not necessary. When it comes to inquiring about information, I have a better candidate." Edward stood up and said, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"No, there are wife and children waiting for me at home." Mato said.

"Then I won't keep you."

After sending off Matuo, Edward called a soldier. These Bethkod guards were left by Allen in order to assist the city defense team to strengthen its defenses when needed. Edward asked him to summon other soldiers and report to the city defense barracks tonight.

After the soldiers took the order, Edward sent someone to invite Belmode.

After a simple dinner, Belmode came to the office, and Edward said directly: "I need you to find some information for me."

Belmode smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, it was Master Ellen who hired me?"

"Your memory is correct, but for now, I suggest that we still don't make much fuss in this area. What you and I do ~ www.readwn.com ~ is for our leader." Edward looked directly at the man. Said his eyes.

After Belmod and him concentrated for a moment, they shrugged and said, "That's right. Well, anyway, I'm very idle these days. It's okay to find something to do. Then, if you want to find out what information, you should not read it. Which noble lady do you want?"

"I'm not so boring, it's those adventurers." Edward said: "They are too many. These people seem to come for the same purpose. I want to know what they are going to do?"

"Sounds very interesting, then I'll go, I'll let you know if I have news."

Belmode walked out of the lord's mansion, turning around and looking up if he felt something. In the office window, Edward was looking at him through the window. The young Maritan nodded, and then his figure disappeared behind the window. Belmode squinted his eyes, then said softly: "I always think there are many secrets, this guy."

He shrugged, dropped a sentence "What's my business?" Then he put his hands in his pockets, and his figure gradually melted into the night of the street. r1058
