Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1077 Disaster and Hope

??

Sitting on a cart, Alan put the Red King between his legs and looked at the street that had become a slaughterhouse. (.) Soldiers were decomposing Ice Wind's corpse on the street. Ice Wind's scales and bones are good materials for making high-quality armor, especially its bones. When the soldiers washed the bones they took out with water, they would see that the bones were gray and entangled with blue silk. And inside the head that was chopped off by Allen, its skull was even covered with blue crystal grains.

It's a pity that Allen used the hymn of death to injure many wounds on its body at that time. Ice Wind was invaded by decaying forces, and its bone quality had dropped by a notch. Just think about how hard its skull was when even the Red King couldn't penetrate his brain with a single knife when he was in Tallinn Aisha. Besides, if it weren't for the hymn of death that weakened Ice Wind's bone hardness, Alan might not have been able to cut off its head smoothly.

Even so, the blacksmiths in Dragonlance Town are quite satisfied with Bingfeng's bones and scales. And it is certain that these materials can be used to create high-quality armor. In addition, Bingfeng's claws are high-quality materials for making weapons, and its meat can be used to feed fierce beasts, and even released and stored in Blood in jars can also fetch a good price. But the most valuable thing is the dozens of large and small source force crystal nuclei taken out of Bingfeng's body. The largest one is nearly half a meter in diameter, and the smallest one is about the size of a fist. These crystal nuclei contain a very pure source of frost, which is an important material for making the famous armor of the gods, and it is also the most advanced raw material for alchemy. It is no exaggeration to say that the value of these dozens of crystal nuclei exceeds the sum of the other parts of Bingfeng's corpse.

Allen has already figured out how to distribute it. He plans to keep the crystal nucleus of Ice Wind himself. Whether he asks Lucy to make special bullets or sell them, he can make a fortune. As for the other parts of Bingfeng, they were left to Longlance Town to make up for their losses. Only the damaged streets can be repaired and the collapsed buildings can be rebuilt. But the people who died in the battle last night could never come back. Allen couldn't forget that when the families of the dead brought back their bodies, the images of the child's crying and his wife's calling were deeply imprinted in his mind.

For him, those people may be just strangers who he has known for less than a day, but for those families, they are the pillars. Now that there is no support, their family is also crumbling. Now Alan is wondering if the cavemen would have attacked the town if they had set up camp yesterday?

"What are you thinking, Master Allen?"

At some point, Father Miro sat next to him, and Allen said truthfully: "I was wondering if things would be different now if I made another choice? Father, this shouldn't be theirs. war, and I bring disaster upon them.<>”

"So that's what happened." Father Miro narrowed his eyes: "Sometimes I really doubt whether Archimedes is your father or not. Because the two of you have very different personalities, if it is the man I know, If this kind of thing happened to him, he would say that these people are thanks to me, otherwise it would not be as simple as just dying."

Milo spread his hands and said, "Of course, that bastard is an arrogant and selfish guy.

"

Allen smiled.

"Master Allen, I often say that the Lord is omnipotent. But I am quite skeptical about this. He made many prophecies, some of which were fulfilled, and some were not. So you see, even the gods cannot fully see Know what happened in the next second, let alone you. Life is always faced with countless choices, and each choice is not absolutely correct, let alone absolutely wrong." Father Miro stroked the cross on his chest: "All we can do is listen to our inner voice and make a choice."

"Just like what happened yesterday, yes, maybe if we choose to leave, the cavemen will go around this town and continue to hunt us down. But it is also possible that they attacked this town by the way, and without our assistance, this small town The town has become history forever. But this is a hypothesis after all, as for which ending will happen, even the gods cannot give an answer." Father Miro looked at the residents of the town: "Look at the present, you chose to stay. Yes, some people died because of it, but at least the town is still there. At least the children of those who died survived. They will be terribly hurt, but the bravery of their fathers will be remembered, and they will be inspired to be like fathers. Men who sacrificed their lives to defend their homes. Maybe because of this, ten years later, there will be a group of brave and fearless men in this town, and they are the hope of continuing the town."

"You have brought disaster, but at the same time planted hope. As for which is more important, it is up to you." The priest patted Allen on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.

Allen sat in the car for a while, then suddenly reached out and patted his face, then picked up Chi Wang and jumped off the cart. At this time, the mayor, Paluo and other men came over, and Alan took the opportunity to tell about the distribution of Ice Wind. Difficult.<>"

The mayor sighed and said: "Since the incident has already happened, if we blame you now, the dead will not come back to life. Besides, even without what happened last night, it is still a question of whether our town can continue to exist."

Alan heard something in his words, frowned and asked, "Why did the mayor say that?"

"Because the Marquis of Peel ordered us to relocate our town not long ago, but he did not compensate us for any land. The Marquis warned us that if we don't do what he said, then he will use force. It is impossible for us to move Let's go, firstly, this town, this land was given by the founding emperor, to be used for our Gao Cang tribe's multiplication. Secondly, the heroic spirits of our ancestors are buried in this land, and it is even more impossible for us to leave It's over. So it will be a matter of time before we have a conflict with that Marquis, even if there are no cavemen, whether our Dragonlance Town can continue to exist is also a question."

"Is there such a thing?"

Palo nodded and said: "Before my lord came, in fact, we were already planning to send people to the imperial capital to ask His Majesty Tanglio to uphold justice. It's just that our men rarely leave the town, and the farthest they have gone is spirits." Town. I heard that the adults are going to the imperial capital, so I wonder if it is convenient for Fang to bring us?"

Allen nodded: "No problem." He sneered again: "Marquis Pierre, speaking of which, Abel and the others set off yesterday before dark, but until now, no reinforcements have been seen... Don't worry, about this matter I will deal with it for you. There is no guarantee of success, but I am sure that it will never make the Marquis of Peel feel better."

The mayor and Palo were overjoyed, though they had decided to ask God for an answer. But after all, they are just civilians, and it is still unknown whether they can see Emperor Tangleo. Now that Alan, the Viscount of the Empire, intervened, there was naturally a little more hope.

It wasn't until noon that the Marquis Pierre's army slowly arrived at Dragon Gun Town, and what arrived was the vanguard group of 500 people. When Allen saw Abel and Mira, both of them looked angry. Abel was even more angry: "My lord, that Marquis of Pierre is too disgusting. We sent your letter, but he promised to send troops, but he didn't see any action. <>I urged him several times, but the answers he got were all It is the army that is gathering. It was not until dawn that the five hundred vanguard regiments left the city. Five hundred people, only five hundred people, and such a small number of people have to gather for one night. Isn’t this perfunctory what are we?”

At the end of Alan's answer, one person sneered: "What does a commoner know? You are also worthy of questioning the Marquis. This alone is enough to send you to the gallows!"

Abel blushed and was about to argue. Allen reached out and pressed his shoulders before looking at the man. It was Peel's general, named Harley. He was in his prime, but his eye bags were turning blue, and his source of energy was weak. Not to mention that Regis or Laura under Allen can easily defeat him, even Higgs in the Borderlands can surely defeat this person. Allen looked at the so-called legion leader, and said lightly: "I think Abel is right. Please tell me, Captain Halley, why it takes one night to assemble an army of 500 people? If my legion leader If you do this, it will be considered as delaying the military plane, and it will be enough for me to chop off his head!"

Captain Halley said slowly: "Your Excellency, I don't know that the territory under the Marquis has always been peaceful. The soldiers usually stay at home and the city is here. It is indeed difficult to gather together."

"So Captain Harley wants to tell me that the standing army in Marquis Peel's barracks doesn't even have five hundred?" Allen sneered.

Harley coughed dryly and didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Since Lord Allen's crisis has been resolved, we have nothing to do here. If Lord Allen has nothing to say, then we will take our leave first."

"Wait." Allen stopped him, and said lightly: "Please tell Marquis Pierre that I will discuss today's matter in Oliska."

Captain Harley didn't respond directly, but just bowed and said, "I will bring you word for word of your lord's words."

Then he put on his cloak and left the town with ten guards.

Peel's army came slowly, but went quickly. Allen stood on the guard wall to watch them leave, and lightly hammered on the wall with his fist clenched. The Marquis of Peel was clearly acting in a way that he did not want to violate the imperial constitution, and he did not intend to support it sincerely, so he simply made a big fuss about the time of dispatching troops. I don't know if Peel's move was his own idea, or someone behind it.

Allen thought for a while, and asked Abel to call Edward. Pierre put him together, and now Alan can't argue with him, but he can cause some trouble for him.

"I hope you don't really only have five hundred troops in your barracks." Allen murmured.

PS: Will there be a reward monthly pass?
