Chapter 313 Taking Advantage of the Fire to Rob

After Sean left in the latest chapter of Edge of Doom, Willick and Jim helped Baku untie the chains. After Baku untied his hands and feet, he took out a ball of dirty cloth from his mouth and threw it on the ground, yelling at Alan, "Who is your slave!"

Alan said coldly: "That's just a stopgap measure, if you don't say that, do you think you can yell at me here now?"

"The Baimeng people don't need you to save them!"

"Of course, it's just that Caesar doesn't want his brother to become a prisoner, so I will save you." Alan took out Caesar's crystal spear, threw it to Baku, and said, "He wants you to take it back with your own hands. .”

Looking at the crystal spear, Baku's chest rose and fell, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided. He glared at Allen and said, "I won't thank you. You are no different from those people in the city!"

"I don't need you to be grateful." Allen didn't want to say much to this barbaric man, and said, "Can I go now? Or are you going to cause Caesar some other trouble?"

Baku opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, picked up his spear and left with several other clansmen in a muffled voice.

"Master, why do you care about these savages? They are not good things." Jim whispered.

Allen said lightly: "Mr. Jim, what you have to do is obey my orders, not interfere with my decisions."

Jim quickly lowered his head.

At this time, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the wasteland outside the city. Judging by the volume of the voice, it was an army. Allen frowned and gestured, and everyone hurriedly left the city gate. Not long after, tall horses appeared in the mist, and the riders on the horses were all wearing well-polished armor. Even the healthy horse under the seat protects the head and other parts of the body with thin armor.

After the cavalry, there are soldiers walking on foot. On their vertical flags, there are patterns of a whirlwind and a castle. Seeing the pattern on the flag, Jim whispered: "That's the army of Storm City. They have two armies. One is the Stormtrooper, and the other is the Thunder Knights. The Tempest is the infantry regiment. This army should That’s right. Strange how they came here.”

Allen saw that the infantry were able to maintain their formation during the rapid march. Obviously they had received strict training. It was not a good thing for this army to come to the city of Sur. Allen couldn't help but looked in the direction of the Aspen Mountains.

"Let's go," he said.

Hearing that the Storm City army had arrived early in the morning, Baron York sat in his ornately decorated carriage and arrived at the gate of the city under the guard of the city defense team. The army of Storm City has set up camp outside the city,

A troop of cavalry greeted the baron. A knight in a bright red cloak on a white warhorse was the first to shout, "I am Reg, the captain of the No. 1 squadron of the Knights of the Wrath of Thunder. Baron York, Sir Maud sends his regards."

Baron York frowned. The captain looked arrogant when he saw that he did not dismount. He snorted, feeling displeased, but he still expected these people to attack the Aspen Mountains for him, but he couldn't make a fuss. So he forced a smile and said: "Everyone has worked hard from afar, you can just tell me if you need anything."

"It's hard work. We are soldiers, so it's nothing to suffer. But Sir Maud has something to convey to me."

"Please say."

Reg smiled and said, "This time, at your invitation, Baron York, we dispatched a squad of Thunder Knights and five Stormtroopers. Baron Maud felt that the price you offered was a bit low. , what he means is that Storm City has to get another 20%. I don’t know what you are going to do?”

Baron York's face turned red immediately. If he didn't remember his status as a knight, he might have cursed in public. His chest rose and fell sharply, and said: "Sir Maud's move is against morality, how can he temporarily increase the price!"

"I'm not sure about that, why don't you ask him yourself?" There was a hint of contempt on Reg's face.

"About this, I have to reconsider." Baron York said.

"Of course, Lord Baron. I have to remind you that according to the agreement, you will be responsible for our expenses here. So you see, don't think about it for too long." After Gao Lei said, he immediately saluted , and returned to the camp with the cavalry.

"Go back." Baron York said sullenly.

The carriage returned to the city lord's mansion, and the baron was furious as soon as he returned to his study. He slammed the things he took at random to the ground, and he didn't stop until he picked up a porcelain bottle with a strong exotic taste. Panting heavily, Baron York put the bottle back in place and roared, "That bastard Maud, this is a robbery!"

The butler who rushed over upon hearing the voice, and another ten-year-old boy were silent, not daring to provoke the old jazz when he was angry. After the baron calmed down a bit, the butler said, "Sir, we should send a telegram to Sir Maud to reprimand him for his immoral behavior."

York shook his head and sat on the sofa: "Reproaching doesn't do anything at all, and Maud won't take it to heart. In the end, it's because our city of Sur is weak, and Maud doesn't take it seriously. Whether it's wealth It is still the army, we are not the opponents of Storm City, otherwise Maud would not be so unscrupulous."

"Uncle, let me drive away those bastards outside the city!" said the man standing next to the butler.

"Shut up, Ethan. Use your brain to think about it, if you break the face with Maud, it will be even worse for us!" York said angrily: "Do you think the constitution of the empire can really restrain Maud? Especially It’s in the outskirts of our empire, and if you look at how many border lords’ territories were annexed last year, you should know that the laws of the empire don’t really apply in any corner of the border.”

"If we turn against Maud now, the five Storm Warriors and a squad of Thunder Knights will not stay outside the city gate, but directly enter the city. Although the city of Sur is small, old Maud doesn't care Will care about one more piece of my territory!"

The man quickly lowered his head, and York waved his hand: "Read more when you are free, and don't spend all your time on women. Ethan, if it wasn't for my brother's entrustment, I wouldn't raise you as a waste. Get lost!"

The nails were almost inserted into the flesh, Ethan's chest heaved, but he still said calmly: "Yes, uncle."

He left quietly.

"Mr. Ethan is also concerned about you." The housekeeper said.

York sneered: "He is more concerned about my position."

After speaking, the old jazz sighed again. He stood by the window, overlooking the city gate. As the sun rose and the mist cleared, the battle banners of Stormcity were fluttering in the wind. Looking at the flag, York's eyes became more serious.

Two days after returning to the Aspen Mountains, the people in Baku separated from Allen and went straight back to the cottage. Before they arrived at the cottage, Caesar had already been notified. Caesar was very happy to learn that Baku had returned safely.

But this time Baku went to the city of Suer privately, and Caesar could not let it go lightly, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the tribe. So he threw the returned Baku into the dungeon as a punishment. After returning Caesar's crystal spear, Baku had no objection to the punishment and went into the dungeon by himself.

He has to stay here for ten days.

At night, Caesar came to the dungeon, and the two looked at each other in silence.

After a while, Baku said: "When we left the city of Sur, we saw another army. I heard it was from Storm City, Caesar, those guys will come over soon."

"how many people."

"I'm afraid there are four or five people."

Caesar was surprised: "There are so many, you have to inform other people."

Baimeng is not only Caesar and the others, there are other villages scattered in the Aspen Mountains. This mountain is the place where their ancestors lived for generations, and it is their homeland, so naturally they don't want the people of Sur City to occupy it.

"Caesar." Baku said suddenly: "Don't trust those strangers, they have contacts with the people of Suer City. They must have another purpose for approaching us!"

Caesar said: "I will not blindly believe them, but you must not forget. Up to this moment, they have done nothing to threaten us, and even rescued you. Baku, do not let anger affect you judgment."

Baku didn't respond, he just walked back into the depths of the dungeon, burying himself in the shadows.

Emerging from the shadow of the hatch of the starship, Allen came to the ground and saw Edward sitting on a piece of dead wood not far away, reading a book. The cover of the book is a bit frayed/scratched, it looks like the book has been around for a while. Edward looked at it very seriously, but when Allen came to him, the Maritan said without waiting for him to ask: "This is a general constitution. It can help us familiarize ourselves with the laws here."

"Where did you get it?" Allen asked sitting in front of him.

"I bought it at the market while you were sleeping. It's very interesting. The country of Balegon is mentioned many times in this constitution, and it calls itself an empire. So, the city of Sur should also belong to this empire Part of the territory. This is very remote, if there is no accident, it should be a territory near the border. It is very beneficial to us." Edward closed the book and said: "For example, if the owner of the city here has changed, the empire will probably not be aware of it. By the time they react, we may have fully integrated into them."

"The army of Storm City may attack the Aspen Mountains, and I must stay in case those troops discover our camp. So the matter of cooperating with Sean may have to be handled by you," Allen said.

Edward nodded and said, "Even if you don't say it, I will still make this suggestion. I have to go to the city again to see if there is anyone worth using."

He raised the constitution in his hand: "In order for us to legally occupy the city of Sur."

Allen smiled, and asked again: "Why did you join us? From my point of view, you are doing well in Babylon, and there is no need to take risks in Outland."

Edward withdrew his smile, and said softly: "I don't want to discuss this issue now. In short, within the contract period, I will contribute my strength and wisdom. You don't have to worry about this. If I do something that is not good for you, you It is absolutely possible to execute me according to the provisions of the contract, otherwise I will be handed over to the Federation after returning. But I don’t want to talk about me.”
