Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1012 Missy

The night was soaked in the mountains and forests, and the world was shrouded in darkness. Under the cold moonlight, some luminous plants in the forest began to emit various colors of light. Looking down from the sky, the mountains and forests are not completely dark, but dyed with green, red, purple and green fluorescent lights. Of course, the most dazzling light was the fire from the caravan camp. Several bonfires were raging, almost dyeing the sky red. Beasts in this world are not afraid of flames and light. On the contrary, too bright fire will attract the attention of some wild beasts. Anyone who has walked the wilderness for many years knows that if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, it's best not to light a fire at night. If you want to make a fire, you have to find a relatively hidden place like the cave, for fear of attracting the attention of dangerous wild animals.

At this moment, in the dense forest far away from the camp, there were some eyes with different pupil colors quietly. They wandered in the mountains like ghosts, stopping occasionally, and would stare at the fire in the direction of the camp. It's just that there are many beasts circling the camp, but none of them dare to pounce on them. Animals' intuition made them sense danger, especially in the eyes of some ferocious beasts who were particularly sensitive to the source force, they could clearly see countless sparks floating in the camp.

Those sparks seem weak, but they give the fierce beast a dangerous feeling that it will cause a prairie fire at any time, so these smart guys often only take a few glances, and then obediently detour. Because they know that there are people in the camp that cannot be provoked.

Allen walked around the camp and returned to the campfire. He let out some breath of himself along the way, enough to scare away the beasts of the night. This method is very common when living with wolves, snow wolves will patrol their territory. The difference is that what they leave behind is their own scent.

At this time, the mountain boar had been roasted, and Fares and Rick were cutting off slices of the roast meat with long knives, and then divided them into everyone's hands. The wild boars in the forest are not small in size, but hundreds of people are all divided at once, and even Alan only gets a few pieces, not much more than ordinary soldiers. The wild pork is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, dripping oil continuously, exuding a tempting meaty aroma. Allen was just about to feast, when his eyes went dark, and someone stood in front of him blocking the light of the fire.

His eyes first fell on the two straight long legs, and as he raised his eyes, what he saw was the perfectly curvy waist. Then came a pair of tall twin peaks, and then Alice's angry face. She threw the plate containing the barbecue to Alan's feet, and said loudly: "What is this? Wild boar? It's only eaten by the untouchables! I've had enough, you stayed in that damned dark place for so many days Forget it, and now I'm allotted this unpalatable food! It's an insult to me, listen. I want bread, milk, jam, and vegetables and fruits from the car. I don't ask for a big dinner, but At least, give me something to eat!"

Seeing Elise, Allen remembered such a person. After entering the Dark Land, Alice and Edward stayed together in the Dark Lance's stockade. After that, Allen made an appointment with Joey, took over the two bandits of Wolf Warriors and Black Feather, and assembled a group of bandits, dealing with one thing after another almost non-stop, forgetting about Alice. Now that the proud woman stood in front of him again, it reminded him of his promise to escort Alice to Sardinia.

The background of this proud woman, Alice, is certainly not simple.

This can be seen from the fact that she was honored as a guest of honor by Horn. but she

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) What I am doing now is not pride, but arrogance. Allen's face darkened, and there was a bit of chill in his eyes. He slowly tore off the roast meat on the plate, slowly put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, while his eyes were fixed on Elise, looking like a woman. There was flame in his eyes.

Her chest rose and fell sharply. To be honest, this image is very attractive, but the people around the fire are not in the mood to appreciate it now. Everyone could see that a storm was brewing, the men silently ate the barbecue on the plate, and no one was so stupid as to bump into the storm by himself. Alice's eyes were almost bursting with fire. Since she was a child, no one had dared to contradict her like Alan, and even made her embarrassing in public. Almost instinctively, she wiped her hand on her waist, and the red whip tied around her waist was swept out immediately, and the dinner plate in Allen's hand was swept away. Allen snorted, and reached out to grab the long whip.

Alice pulled back, but the red whip remained motionless in Alan's hand, it just collapsed straight. She said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Allen said coldly: "I should ask you this question, honorable Miss Elise?" He stood up and said in a deep voice: "I don't care who you are or what status you have. But now If you are in my caravan, then you have to follow my rules. If I assign you barbecue, you don’t want to eat it. That’s okay, as long as you are willing to be hungry, no one will care if you eat or not. A piece of barbecue. But please respect others, food that is hard to swallow for you may be life-saving food for others. You can not eat it, but you can't spoil other people's food!"

Elise's chest heaved even more.

"Also, hasn't anyone taught you that to respect others is to respect yourself?" Allen let go of the whip after finishing speaking. For a person like Elise, the power of these words is more painful than cutting her a few times.

Sure enough, Elise looked like an angry lioness. She took out a money pouch from her clothes and threw it at Alan's feet, shouting, "Don't be so righteous, I just don't want to eat you wild boar meat, bring what I want, the money in it is yours Already. If it’s not enough, I still have some here, how about it!”

Allen shook his head and said, "Even if you give me more money, you can't even think about buying a piece of bread. At least, that's how it is with me."

"You!" Alice was trembling with anger, she said "yes" a few times, didn't even pick up the money bag, just turned around and left, and got into her tent.

Allen snorted, it's not like he hasn't seen a noble person before. Let's not talk about it, let's say that Lucy's status as the princess of Ida Huaxing is noble enough. No matter how big Alice is, can she be bigger than Lucy? He can tolerate a woman's pride, willfulness and even occasional irrationality. But if he is like Alice, then don't expect him to show a good face to the other party.

Lucy next to her shook her head and smiled, "You're making too much of a fuss."

"I'm just teaching her how to get along with people." Allen said disapprovingly: "We still have two days' journey to Sardinia, if you don't kill her prestige, you can stand it all the way, but I can't stand it." .”

"I don't think she's a bad person, it's just because of her temper, or because of the environment in which she grew up, she has such a temper. When I was in the Blackwood Forest a few days ago, this Miss Elise also taught Abel a few fighting moves. , I didn't see how domineering she was at the time. It's just that she didn't

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) So much patience is really..." Lucy tilted her head and said.

Abel next to him also nodded, and the boy rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't blame Miss Alice for being impatient. I'm rather stupid, and I can't remember so much at once."

Allen sighed and said, "So you blame me?"

"It's really your fault. You are a man. Just accept it when you see it. After all, she is a woman, so you have to give her a step down, don't you? Let her embarrass herself in front of everyone. I would be angry if it were me." Lucy picked up He picked up the money pouch on the ground, put it in Alan's hands and said, "Go and return it to her, and bring her something to eat by the way. Are you really planning to make her hungry? This is not what a gentleman does."

"All right, all right, I'll listen to you, Your Highness." Allen bowed exaggeratedly, picked up the money bag and left.

He came to Alice's tent, and by the light of the fire in the tent, he could see the figure of the woman sitting inside and sulking. Allen put the money pouch and the dinner plate with a few pieces of barbecue on the grass, and said, "I put the money and barbecue here for you. It's still the same sentence. You can eat it or not. It's just that I have a word. Don’t speak up quickly, Miss Elise, not everyone is as noble-born and well-clothed as you. What I said just now is not easy to say, at least before I was ten years old. A piece of barbecue that you don’t like, I But you can work hard for it!"

The figure in the tent shook visibly, and Allen left without waiting for her answer.

A moment later, a hand reached out from the tent. First she took back the money pouch, and then Elise in the tent hesitated for a moment before stretching out her hand and taking in the plate of barbecue. She put it in front of her nose and smelled it first, then tore off a small piece of shredded meat and put it in her mouth to chew slowly.

The next day the caravan broke camp and continued towards Sardinia. Today, Alice was still full of arrogance, and she didn't take the initiative to get close to anyone. It's just that she ate whatever was given to her today, and she didn't lose her temper like last night. Lucy saw it in her eyes, smiled and said to Allen: "Look, the eldest lady has calmed down a lot."

Allen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's fine with her. Anyway, when I get to Sardinia, I have nothing to do."

On this day, the caravan left the mountains and forests and turned to the relatively flat plains. In the evening, the caravan set up camp on a low slope to rest. After dinner, everyone went back to their tents to rest in order to recover their strength and continue the journey tomorrow. I don't know how long I slept, Allen suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't hear any abnormal movements, but he had an intuition that something was going to happen.

Almost at the same time, Edward's voice sounded outside the tent: "Get up, we have guests."

Edward's tone was heavy, obviously the visitor was not kind. Allen picked up the Red King, got out of the tent and asked, "What's going on?"

"Just now a You Ge's Bronze Blade came to report that about a hundred miles to the northwest, there is a horse team coming towards us."

"Cavalry? It's the middle of the night. It shouldn't be a business traveler on their way."

Edward snorted: "Of course not. Why have you ever seen a caravan rushing in the middle of the night? Besides, according to Tongren's report, all the opponent's horses are wrapped in cloth. Is this a typical bandit style? And the opponent's goal is clear, straight Point us to come. I have asked Fares to prepare, and it looks like it will be quite lively tonight."
