Three Hundred and Eighty Third Chapters to Test Each Other

"Welcome, Alan... sir."

In the open space of the venue, Allen met Sharon. Sharon's mountain-like tough image still somewhat surprised Allen. Originally, in his imagination, a city lord whose wife had an affair with a subordinate but was powerless to attack should be melancholy and gloomy. But now, Sharon, who was riding on a tall horse under the sun, gave him a bold spirit.

This is far from Allen's previous vision.

He rode his horse to meet him calmly, and the two dismounted together in the center of the venue and hugged each other.

After parting, Sharon patted Alan on the shoulder and said, "Before I saw you, I always thought that you were able to take down Storm City, and it was a fluke to kick Maud away. But after seeing you today, I realized that Maud is really good." It's bad luck. This is not a compliment, just by looking at the subordinates and soldiers you brought, you can know your ability."

It is not a compliment to say it, but there is nothing more comfortable than this compliment, and even Allen feels a little smug. He thought secretly, and smiled: "Sir Sharon has won the prize. It is a skill to be able to govern a territory for decades and become stronger and stronger. In this regard, I have to ask the baron a lot."

Although Allen is developing in the direction of a powerful jazz, he is still an enshrined knight under the name of Sur City and the temporary city lord of Storm City. He still needs some meritorious deeds to justify his name before he can be knighted with strength. Before that, in front of a veritable jazz like Sharon, he had to keep the etiquette of the superior and the superior. So Sharon calls him Mr., and he needs to add the word Sir or Your Excellency after Sharon's name.

Seeing that Alan didn't exceed the courtesy, Sharon was very satisfied, and at the same time he overestimated Alan in his heart. After all, there are fewer and fewer people who can maintain their merits without being arrogant.

What followed was a scene of mutual praise, and then Sharon introduced the important figures on the Black Iron Fort to Allen. From the head of the knights like Higgs, down to an accompanying clerk, Sharon mentioned them one by one. Allen kept it in his heart, and heard Sharon's dissatisfaction with Higgs, because when he talked about Higgs, he only said a few words. But when it comes to his bodyguard commander Tucker, he keeps praising him in order to impress Allen in his heart.

Allen took a peek at Higgs, who lowered his head slightly, his eyes hidden in the shadows on his face, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts. However, judging from the situation at the scene, the Black Iron Fort was indeed as rumored, with many internal conflicts.

"Mr. Allen is exhausted from the journey. I have arranged for you to rest. I have prepared a banquet tonight. Let us have a good drink tonight and formally sign the agreement tomorrow. What do you think?" Sharon smiled. .

Allen nodded: "Everything is arranged by the baron."

So Higgs personally led Allen to the stone house prepared for him,

A carpet has been laid here to separate the rough ground. They even arranged for two maids, who are not only responsible for Alan's daily life here, but if Alan has other needs, they will try their best to meet them.

"See you tonight then."

When Higgs was about to leave with a smile, Allen suddenly said: "Captain Higgs has worked hard."

"It's right to entertain adults, it's not hard or hard work."

Alan had a faint smile on his face: "I mean, Captain Higgs works under Sir Sharon...it's hard work."

Higgs' face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "When I joined the Black Iron Fort, I swore to give everything for it. Therefore, everything I did was voluntary, let alone hard work."

"Sir Sharon is so lucky to have a captain like you."

Higgs smiled wryly, turned and left.

Allen watched his figure go away, thinking about it in his heart. He tried a little bit just now, and from Higgs' words, he also heard that the knight leader and Sharon seem to be at odds. Higgs has made it very clear that he is for the Black Iron Castle, not Sir Sharon himself.

In the evening, Higgs came to invite Alan again in person. This time Allen didn't test him any more, so as not to make him unhappy. The venue in the morning has undergone a simple arrangement. A bonfire was lit in the center of the venue, surrounded by temporary wooden platforms. On the wooden platform, there are two groups of soldiers from the Black Iron Castle, fighting. It's just that the movements are rigid, but the nature of performance is stronger.

Around the venue, some tables and chairs were set up as spectator seats. Allen was placed next to Sir Sharon. Seeing him coming, Sharon and a group of officials stood up to welcome Allen to his seat. Allen glanced to his left, and Regis and others had already taken their seats. At this time, Sharon said: "Mr. Allen, these are soldiers from my Black Iron Fortress, what do you think?"

"Everyone moves neatly. If you think about it, the usual training must be strict." Allen said casually.

Sharon nodded and said: "Captain Higgs has never lowered the standard in this regard, but the Black Cloud Knight is our real pride."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and greeted Allen: "Come, may the border land usher in an era of peace from now on."

Allen raised his glass and said, "My lord, Baron."

Sharon laughed and drank a glass first, and the others drank it all. Sharon glanced at Higgs, and the participants nodded and raised their hands to pat. The soldiers performing on the stage went down in line, and a horse neighed after a while. A black cloud knight rode his horse into the arena, and saw the knight almost lying on the horse's back. The knight pointed his spear forward, and the man and the horse were integrated as one, sprinting forward like a rainbow.

The sound of hooves is like thunder!

Allen glanced at the people beside him, including Regis, everyone's face was solemn. Apparently they took this black cloud cavalry as their imaginary enemy, thinking about how their soldiers would deal with the charge of this heavy cavalry if they met on the battlefield. The knight was about to rush up to the high platform, but in front of the platform, the horse moved sideways, the knight suddenly spread his arms and legs, and jumped off the horse. He landed heavily on the stage with a heavy armor and a knight's gun. This hand was very shocking. The transition from moving to still made the soldiers in the Black Iron Fort roar like thunder.

Hei Yunqi stood on the stage and waved his spear at the soldiers in Storm City, full of provocation.

Allen smiled and looked at Sharon, who said, "I heard that the Thunder Knights in Storm City are brave and invincible. It's a rare opportunity to get together today. Why don't Mr. Allen open the eyes of our soldiers in Black Iron Castle? Let them know there are people out there?"

Allen knows the quality of the Thunder Knights very well. Except for the few elite knights who reached the standard level, the rest are just fifth- and sixth-level cavalry, how can they compare with the black cloud knights whose members are all tenth-level. Moreover, even standard knights are no match for these heavily armored knights in terms of individual soldier quality. Sharon spoke nicely, but it gave Alan a difficult situation to step down.

Before signing the peace agreement, Sharon made it clear that he wanted to show off, which seemed a bit playful. Allen thought for a while, and said: "The Thunder Knights are the original team of Storm City. I just took over, and I am not very familiar with this knight order. And because they are responsible for defense, Captain Reg and his elite It’s not the same, I’m afraid we will disappoint the soldiers of Black Iron Fort.”

Sharon looked at the others, a strange expression flashed across his face. Allen saw it, but said: "However, this time I brought my own army. Of course, their average level is only five or six levels, and their usual training is mainly team combat. If Sir Sharon If I want to see them, I can let them go, but I need to fight three against one, I don’t know if Lord Baron is interested in seeing my soldiers.”

"It goes without saying that even if it's three against one, if they are only at the fifth level, the number is fair, and we have some advantages." Sharon nodded.

Allen glanced at Bloy, who got up and shouted: "Soldier of the Mountain King, who is interested in going up to ask the powerful Black Cloud Knight?"

Immediately there were loud shouts, and three Baimeng warriors headed by Dima came out. They can also be regarded as the old team of King of the Mountain, and Broy has great confidence in them. With a wave of his hand, the three of Dima jumped onto the high platform.

All three were wearing light armor, holding steel shields and warhammers, a combination of weapons that is very rare in the Borderlands. If Sharon was just talking politely before, now seeing the three of Dima, he is really interested, and wants to take the opportunity to touch the foundation of Alan's army.

Didn't Allen have the same idea, he also wanted to see the ability of the Black Cloud Knight to fight under the horse. So after Higgs made a gesture, the competition on the high platform began.

The black cloud knight attacked first, and the heavy-armored knight burst into light blue source power flames. The flames on the knight's spear were not very bright, but they were quite imposing. In comparison, the Mountain King warriors who have not yet been able to arouse the flame of source power are much inferior. At least in terms of appearance, the black cloud knight wearing heavy armor and rising flames is even more powerful.

With a loud shout, the knight tentatively shot at Dima. There is no trick at all in this shot, it is purely the source of power and the power of the gun to kill the enemy. In the eyes of experts, it may not have much lethality, but when facing ordinary infantry on the battlefield, it can penetrate several or even more soldiers with one shot.

It can be seen that Higgs has worked hard on this knight order.

Amidst the loud shouts from the Black Iron Fort, the three of Dima were not affected at all and responded at the same time. As the main target of the knight's attack, Dima concentrated all his energy on the shield. He lowered his body's center of gravity and protected his front with the steel shield. The shield body was tilted slightly forward, so that when the knight spear hit the steel shield, it would slide to Dima's feet due to the tilt of the shield surface, thus creating an opportunity for him to counterattack.

While the other two mountain king warriors embraced their shields and rolled forward, the fine iron warhammer whistled, and greeted the black cloud knight's legs from the left and right sides. The warhammer hit the knight's leg armor, and just hearing the sound of the warhammer piercing through the air, one could tell that they were heavy. Even if it can't break the defense with one blow, it will definitely affect the balance of the knight. At that time, if Dima took the opportunity to counterattack again, the black cloud knight would fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked on three sides.

The corner of Sharon's mouth twitched slightly, and the tacit understanding of the Shanwang fighters' cooperation was completely beyond his expectations.
