Edge of the Apocalypse

When Allen came to the village with a few soldiers, the village had been captured. Everything went well unexpectedly, but nothing more normal. When the alarm bell was heard, the guards in the village were considered to have responded quickly. More than a dozen soldiers were armed to fight, but Belmode and other strong men were crushed by absolute force. Those soldiers who rushed to kill one person for a gold coin had not had a chance to take action, the battle was over.

It's just that Belmode and others disdain to kill such low-strength soldiers, so they are all fighting. Even Regis, a martial idiot, knocked the soldier casually on the back with a knife. Except for the two soldiers who reacted fiercely, but still did not surrender after being beaten to the ground, Belmode cut his throat and fell down. However, the blood of the soldiers calmed down others, at least when the villagers were asked to gather, there was no resistance.

Allen came to the meeting point, rode a horse and glanced at the villagers and said, "This village {pig+pig+island} will no longer be the territory of Sunset City from now on. You have not resisted, this is good. , To avoid unnecessary killing. Next, I hope you can faithfully implement my orders, so that I guarantee that everyone will not be in danger."

"What do you need, my lord?" a middle-aged man asked.

"you are?"

"I am the head of this village."

"Very good, village chief. Then please let everyone take out the food, and adult men must join my army. My order is that simple."

The head of the village changed his expression: "My lord, there is no problem with food. But if you want the men to join the army, they are all civilians."

"These people behind me were also civilians a month ago. However, they are now fighters, so do as I said." Allen said calmly, "Join my army and kill an enemy. You can get a gold coin. Kill ten people and you will be free. If you refuse, then I'm sorry, don't let me be a devil, you don't want that kind of thing to happen."

Although he didn't say what happened, the villagers could have imagined the red-eyed soldiers behind Alan. The village chief sighed and told the villagers to do what Allen said. Soon, Allen got a batch of food and fifty or so strong men. The men were assigned a knife, and Allen shuffled them and put them in the army so that they could not betray them. As for the ten soldiers, they brought Allen by his side.

After staying in the village of Denis for less than two hours, Allen ordered the army to set off, following the straight track he had drawn on the map before, and heading straight to the next village.

It took more than an hour to reach the next village, and the forward attacking the village was the responsibility of the soldiers and the men from Denis Village. In desperation, they could only rush to the village and hand the knife to the people in the same territory. The battle was also very rapid. The guards of this village were beaten in astonishment, and Allen at the back drove in with the army captain and quickly suppressed the village.

The soldiers and men did not actually kill many people. Only two soldiers and three or four villagers were killed in the fierce resistance. But for Allen, this is equivalent to opening the line of defense in these people's hearts. He directly participated in the attack and tied them to Allen's tank in disguise. Even if they escape, they will be severely punished and even strangled by the lord.

For them, they could live longer by staying beside Allen.

Like Deney Village, Allen adopted the same strategy for this village. Take away food and young men, so that even if these territories are recovered later, the most important resources have been taken away by Allen. In this way, Allen ran overnight and took down three villages and one small town one after another. The army quickly expanded from five hundred to eight hundred. Even though it was still a miscellaneous soldier, it was already a threat to the baronial territory of Tomen.

Before dawn, Allen saw Sunset City. This city, located near Xiayun Valley, has a certain scale. Of course, that is the conclusion obtained by comparing it with several other villages and towns. In fact, the city of Torment is still inadequate compared to Storm City. Its low city wall, without artillery defense system to suppress it, really lacks the power to shock foreign enemies.

At least in Allen's eyes, the city is almost undefended. But this time, Allen did not rush to attack, but arranged the army to advance to Sunset City in a fairly neat formation, in order to create an invisible pressure of the army's pressure.

Baron Tomen woke up in his sleep. He had just learned the news that several villages and towns in his territory had been occupied, but Allen was already on the ground. The speed of the march and the speed of the movement made Baron Toman a wry smile. This vigorous tactical style shows that the opponent has no possibility of compromise. Tomen had only two choices left, one was to surrender, and the other was to sacrifice his life to protect the city. Otherwise, he had no other choice.

However, the total number of troops in the city of Sunset is less than 500 people, and this has to be drawn from the security team that usually maintains order to get the number. Even the number of troops is not more than Alan, and Thorman doesn't know how to fight this battle. But as a lord, he couldn't help but stay behind. He had no choice but to let people wear armor and bite the bullet and came to the city wall.

Under the city wall, Allen’s army phalanx is less than 300 meters away from Sunset City. This distance will be ignored by the soldiers charging in the blink of an eye. Then I look at the fire/gun team with less than a hundred people on the wall. The door was extremely heavy.

"Baron Thomas!"

Allen rode alone and came to the gate of the city. The fire/gun team in the city was eager to try, but gave Tomen a look to stop it. At this moment, the baron finally showed his lord's bearing and stepped forward and said loudly: "Sir Alan, do you know what you are doing? This is an invasion. You are invading the territory of the respected Sir Daniel. If you retreat now , I can say to Master Viscount, I won’t hold you accountable for your bold actions this time."

Immediately, Allen smiled faintly: "Sure enough, as the rumors are, Sir Thomas is indeed a generous-hearted lord. Don't worry, since I have come here, I am ready to be held accountable by Sir Daniel and even prepared for revenge. But that It’s also after tonight. Now, Sunset City has no support at all. Am I right, Sir Thomas."

Tomen glanced at the soldiers on the wall and said, "Even if there are no reinforcements, we will stay at Sunset City."

"The Jazz is really courageous, but I was wondering, can you swing the butcher knife at your former leader?" Allen made a gesture, and the two hundred soldiers and villagers who had returned hesitantly walked out. , Among them there is even a senior officer.

Tomen recognized the officer and his face immediately became quite ugly. Allen said: "Don't blame them, Sir, they just made the right choice in the face of life and death. Now, I also want to give you a choice, Sir."

Tomen snorted and did not answer. Allen smiled and continued: "The first choice is of course to surrender, so we will be happy tonight. The second is to fight, so it would be a pity. Whether it is you or them, I don’t think neither of you Willing to fight each other; so I have a third choice, Lord Sir. How about a duel between you and me?"

"duel?"

"Yes, if you win, then you can catch me or even kill me. As for my men and the army, whether they can leave or not depends on their own abilities. And in this way, you don't have to swing your knife towards yourself. Isn’t it the leader of you? On the contrary, if you lose, Sunset City will give in. I promise you will not hurt your leader. And these people, I will give them freedom!"

Hearing Alan's words, those who surrender couldn't help but cast their eyes on Baron Thomas. Allen's move undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope. As long as Tomen agrees to the duel, then no matter whether they win or lose, they don't have to kill each other. They can hardly find a reason for Tomen's rejection. Only Tom knew that this was a big problem that Allen had given him.

That's right, on the surface, regardless of winning or losing, trusting the door takes advantage. But in fact, Thorman knew he was bound to lose. Among Daniel's attachments, he was never the one who was good at force. And even Duluf, who was the most powerful, killed the young man under the city, and he could barely reach 15th level with Toman, how could he be Allen's opponent.

Allen generously throws out this suggestion, but Toman agrees not, and refuses it even worse. Regardless of the answer, it is foreseeable that after tonight, his prestige will fall to the bottom. He gritted his teeth and said: "In order not to let the blood flow in Sunset City, I, Tomen, only hereby agreed to Sir Allen's request for a duel."

This is a helpless move ~www.readwn.com~ Anyway, it's a loss. It's better to lose beautifully, at least you can keep yourself a little bit of dignity.

Hearing the answer from the jazz, the soldiers on the sunset city cheered loudly for Tomen, and the soldiers were relieved. Alan waved his hand to make these soldiers retreat, and he dismounted with his sword, nailing it straight in front of the city gate and waiting for Sir Thomas.

The gate of the city opened, and the jazz in silver light armor strode out. He is holding a knight's pike in his right hand and a rifle decorated with intricate patterns in his other hand. Facing Alan, the Jazz took a deep breath and drank again. The engraved light on the front of his chest lit up, and the light cyan source light flame came out, tumbling endlessly around the jazz, illuminating the light armor on the jazz dazzlingly.

As far as the appearance is concerned, Baron Tormen is still considered to be his lord. Although the momentum is not very strong, it also gives Alan a slight pressure, but that's it.

Allen nodded and said, "It's time to start."

Toman was also not welcome, raising his rifle at Allen was a few consecutive shots, opening the prelude to the duel with tentative attacks.
