Edge of the Apocalypse

Three Hundred and Eighty Fourth Chapter Worse

The battle on the other side is drawing to a close.

Allen alone took over half of the Thunder Knights. According to the strength requirements of the Imperial Team, the knight standard is usually tenth level. However, the entire territory of Storm City does not have more than 20 people who meet this standard. If the knights are established according to this standard, there will only be a few people. So Maude lowered the standard, as long as there is a seventh or eighth level, you can join the knight order. As a result, the quality of the knight order will naturally drop greatly.

Those with tenth-level source power are already considered elite in the knight order, as for the knights in the crusade team, most of them are only around eighth-level.

Allen fought five eighth-level knights alone, and there was no pressure at all. His sword was as heavy as a mountain, and these knights couldn't block a few strikes, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their swords. In the end, Allen ended the battle with a storm of ashes. In the storm of flames that enveloped the surrounding area for about ten meters, all the knights became a ball of fire. They screamed to escape the storm, but they were roasted into charred corpses in the end.

The Dark Blade side also ended the battle one after another. They were in teams of two, each dealing with a knight. Although there were many mistakes due to the first battle, the order from Allen was finally completed. After all the knights bowed their heads, the Dark Blade warriors began to infiltrate the next level of the battlefield. Over there, the warriors of the Mountain King held their ground with excellent defense, completely isolating the Stormtroopers and Thunder Knights.

These tough guys don't forget to fight back in defense, as long as there is a chance, the refined iron war hammer will smash into the enemy's body with a breathtaking sound. The light armor on the infantry was like paper in front of these warhammers, and it didn't have the slightest defensive effect.

After the dark blade joined the battle circle, the defeat of the storm infantry became more obvious. They were originally outnumbered, but Allen took advantage of the limited space of the camp, coupled with the tight defense of the mountain king, limited the number of people who could attack. Under the cover of the Shanwang warriors, the dark blade turned a number of infantry soldiers into corpses with a poisoned dagger. With the warm-up and practice provided by the Thunder Knight, the power of these assassins can finally be brought into play. Their short knives showed Regis' crisp and sharp killing skills, and they also followed Belmode's tactical guidance, and every knife went straight to the vital point.

Ordinary infantry, how can they afford the massacre of these killing gods. When the storm infantry's offensive became sluggish, Shan Wang also took the opportunity to make a move. As the fine iron warhammer swung, twisted human bodies fell quickly.

Finally, after discovering that Covey and Knight Fury were dead, the infantry didn't want to fight anymore. The people behind started to retreat, but when they were about to leave the camp, ten more Mountain King fighters suddenly appeared. These ten warriors recharged their batteries, while the Stormtroopers lost their will to fight. Suddenly the king of the mountain ran into the flock like a tiger, and the warhammer waved to create a large amount of blood.

Allen didn't make another shot, but kept ordering the mountain king to shrink the encirclement from a high place. After seeing that the situation was almost the same, he ordered the dark blade to withdraw from the battlefield, and then replaced the fire/gun that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and then shot at the storm infantry in the encirclement. In such an environment, there is little room to dodge bullets. Even if the mountain king has only defended but not attacked,

However, the number of Stormtroopers is still decreasing at a terrifying rate.

The battle finally ended after half an hour, and all the crusades were wiped out. Except for the serious injuries of a few people on Allen's side, there was no battle damage. Belmode returned to camp before dawn. Allen was finishing bandaging the wound of a seriously injured soldier. Seeing the soldier falling asleep, he quietly backed away. Seeing Belmode at the edge of the camp, he asked, "Is the interception going well?"

"If I can't even finish this, I don't have the face to continue messing around here." Belmode smiled.

Seeing no one around, Belmode put away his smile and said seriously: "Master Allen, I have one thing to ask you."

"About Kira?" Allen asked with a smile.

An embarrassing expression appeared on Belmode's face: "You know everything?"

"Qila's team has been disbanded. I asked her what she meant. She is willing to follow us, but I don't know if you agree. Oh, she is a level 12 knight, and her potential should be pretty good."

Allen patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is such a woman who has both strength and beauty to join, why should I refuse. But you should know what kind of road we are taking, so I will only give her fair treatment , but will not favor anything because of your relationship. How long and where she can go is completely up to her. If there is no problem with this, then she is one of us."

Belmode nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master Allen. We all know what kind of road this is, but it's better to be accompanied by someone on this road than to be lonely alone."

"That's it." Allen walked back to the camp and said loudly: "Everyone rests on the spot and starts at dawn. You still have two hours!"

At seven o'clock, Chenguang visited Storm City. Just leaving the warm bed, the yawning soldier opened the city gate to welcome the arrival of a new day. It was still early in the morning, and everything was still, so the sound of horseshoes could be clearly heard from the wilderness outside the city. It's just that the sound of the horse's hooves was a bit weird, and the sound was intermittent, as if the horse had been injured. Sure enough, after a while, the soldiers guarding the gate saw a war horse trotting a few steps from time to time, struggling towards the city gate.

On the horse, it seems that there is still a person on its back. The soldier stepped forward quickly, took a look at the horse, and saw that there was a thunder knight lying on the horse. His fingers trembled slightly, and he touched the main artery on the side of the knight's neck, only to find that there was no movement. Immediately shouted in the direction of the city gate: "It's not good, come quickly!"

A peaceful morning was broken just like that.

After half an hour, the knight's body was placed before Maude's eyes. After Maude looked at it, Reg waved his hand and asked people to carry the body down. When there were only two people left in the hall, Maude roared: "What's going on? A demonstration?"

Reg said in a deep voice: "My lord, this matter is strange."

"Of course I know something is wrong, so can you tell me who did it?" Maude pointed out the window and shouted: "And what did you do to send this corpse directly here? I wonder how many people in the city will see it now, and how much panic will it create?"

"It's because the subordinates are not doing their job well."

"Of course you are not strong enough, what about the crusade team. It's been a day, why is there no news yet?"

Beads of sweat began to appear on Reg's forehead: "They have tracked down the Demon Crow Ridge last night, and now they may have taken down the gangsters who entered the country. They should be on their way back now?"

"Better so, Reg, don't let me down!"

"Yes, my lord." Reg said hastily.

However, in the evening, when a gale eagle flew into the army camp in Storm City, Reg's expression couldn't be worse. Gale Eagle brought a message that the corpses of the crusade team were found on Mo Ya Ridge. Including Captain Covey, all members of the crusade team have died in battle, and no one survived!

In the end, Reg had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Maud the news. So there was a storm in Maude's study, and the Jazz's roar. The servants who heard the roar were discussing in private, and at night, many people in the city knew the news that the crusade team had been buried in Demon Crow Ridge. For a time, people in the city were panicked.

In such a situation, in the early morning of the next day, another shocking news came. Following the three towns of Tours, two more towns were attacked last night. The rioters became more rampant this time. Not only did they take down the barracks in the town, but they also set fire to granaries and other important buildings. So today, Storm City has taken in a large number of refugees. Including the previous batch, the number of refugees who suddenly poured into Storm City has exceeded a thousand.

This is undoubtedly a worse matter for Storm City. Not only is the food reserve running out, conflicts and conflicts have also begun to break out between the people in the city and the refugees. The life of the soldiers of the city defense team became difficult. They were divided into several teams and patrolled the city alternately in order to prevent conflicts between people at any time.

What makes Maude feel more dignified is that through understanding the refugees who entered the city today, the number of rioters seems to have increased from their mouths. From the previous twenty or thirty people, it has now increased to hundreds of people. All of this seemed to indicate that Papa Dick, who had been entrenched in the Blood Rock Wasteland for a long time, was aggressively invading the territory of Storm City.

The people in the city even held a parade that night. They hoped that Mord would send a large army to suppress them as soon as possible and take back their lost land. All of this made Maude very anxious, so the next day, a crusade team of nearly 200 people left Storm City under the welcome of the people. In the evening of that day, the crusade team returned, but people found that the soldiers were listless and everyone was injured. As for the captain and the Thunder Knight who were in charge of leading the team, none of them came back.

After learning about the situation, Reg personally caught a soldier and shouted, "What's going on? There are two hundred of you, two hundred of you, why did you return empty-handed?"

The soldier smiled wryly and said: "My lord, we were ambushed on the way. The captain led us out of the trap, but we didn't expect that we would be attacked again after a while. We kept changing routes, but the enemy was always like a prophet. They were able to sneak attack us at a suitable location. In just one day, we encountered nearly five ambushes. In the end, the captain and the knights died in battle, and everyone had to come back."

"Trash! Trash!" Reg yelled, although not all members of the crusade team died this time. But another knight captain and twenty thunder knights died. Even the Stormtroopers were damaged in battle, but at such a price, they still couldn't catch a so-called "violent bandit", which made Reg lose face.

He went to see Morde overnight and offered to fight. After a night like this, on the morning of the second day, a large army drove out of Storm City. This is a real army, a mixed army composed of furious thunder knights and storm infantry, with more than 500 people, it can already be called a colossus. From this army, we can see the determination of Maude and Reg, but it seems ironic that they dispatched such an army just to deal with a domestic bandit.

The important thing is that this army has almost exhausted the elite of Storm City. Only less than 200 recruits were left to protect the city.
