Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 444: Night Attack

"Chuck! Get out of here!"

The bedroom door was flung open by Sir Tormen, in a rage. On the big bed in the bedroom, there is a figure rising and falling. Chuck was lying on top of a woman. When he saw his uncle coming, he was startled. He wrapped his lower body with the quilt next to him and asked in a panic, "Uncle Tommen, why are you here?"

The woman on the bed screamed and shrank into the corner. Tomen glared at her fiercely and made a gesture. Afterwards, the two wolf-like guards dragged the woman out and closed the bedroom door.

"Why can't I come? Look at what you've done, and you've screwed it up!" Tormen roared.

&nx-on:猪x-on:猪x-on:岛x-on:小说 ww.zzhdo.ombsp; Chuck pointed at his still swollen mouth and shouted, "Uncle, it's not my fault. Look, that bumpkin even hit me!"

Tommen swept his cane to his feet, beating Chuck until he screamed. The baron's face darkened, and anger rolled in his eyes: "You are still quibbling. Turank has already told me that if you hadn't been rude at the beginning, there might be room for turning things around. Damn it, you know that this is for us What a great opportunity? I managed to get this good job from Lord Daniel, but you idiot, you have wasted my efforts!"

Chuck rubbed his feet and said, "Uncle, it's just a knight from the borderlands, what's the big deal."

"You really..." Tomen was trembling with anger, and finally tore off the oil painting in the room, tearing the picture worth hundreds of gold coins to pieces, and said: "What do you know, as long as he can kill the hungry wolf Truph. Don't It is said that he is a knight from the borderlands, even if he is not from the empire, he is worth recruiting. If it is not for your father's sake, I will kill you today!"

Throwing the crumpled oil painting on Chuck's face, Tormen slams the door out.

For Chuck, the chaotic night came to an end in the light of dawn. At eight o'clock in the morning, a mysterious guest visited quietly. Chuck took him into his study and closed the doors and windows carefully, not wanting outsiders to see the picture of his meeting with him.

The guest smiled and said, "On behalf of Mr. Raffles, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Mr. Chuck, you have done a good job in this matter."

Chuck snorted: "It's not easy for me to do this, look at my injury. And because of this, Uncle Tom will definitely not reuse me in the future!"

"It's okay, Sir Raffles will make full compensation for this, please rest assured." He put a suitcase on the table, opened it, and the inside was divided into three compartments. The largest box on the left is filled with gold coins, and the amount of gold coins is said to be thousands of coins. There are two spaces on the right,

There are several pieces of amber topaz piled up on the top row. Each of these amber topaz is worth more than a thousand gold coins. Together, they are worth more than the pure gold coins on the left. Below it is only a necklace, which is made of platinum, with an elegant and gorgeous style, embedded with a piece of crystal-clear jade.

The guest pushed the box forward and said, "These things are yours now. Besides, Sir Raffles invited you to Dawn Castle, where there will be a more suitable place for you."

Chuck was overjoyed, not only got a lot of money, but also got the reuse of Sir Raffles, which is naturally better than staying in Sunset City and sitting on the bench. Chuck accepted the suitcase as quickly as possible, nodded and said, "Please reply to Sir Raffles, I will leave tomorrow."

"It's a long way to the Dawn Castle, please be careful on the way, Mr. Chuck, and wish you a pleasant journey." The guest smiled.

After bidding farewell to Chuck, he turned out of an alley, and two men followed, walking behind the guest. The guest didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "That idiot will leave tomorrow, remember to do it beautifully, and don't leave any traces."

The two men nodded, then dispersed again, blending into the crowd on the street. The guest smiled and glanced at Chuck's house before turning into an alley and leaving. How could Raffles' remuneration be so easy to get, and in order to prevent Daniel from knowing that they were hindering this matter, Alan refused to join. Therefore, Chuck must disappear, and of course he can't do it in the city, but if something happens to Mr. Chuck on the way to Dawn Castle, it's not easy to say.

Chuck has been busy all day, secretly packing all the property that can be taken away, and preparing to leave the city secretly at night. Under the interweaving of several different moods such as apprehension and excitement, after finally waiting until the evening, Chuck had already begun to fantasize about his wonderful life after arriving at Dawn Castle. At the same time, a village located more than 50 kilometers away from Sunset City also ushered in an extraordinary night.

Deny was a village under Sir Tommen's administration, not far from the Sumara River which served as the boundary of the territory. The villagers mainly live by fishing, and some go hunting in the nearby forests. This village of less than 300 people did not live a prosperous life. Fortunately, Sir Tommen's tax was still within their acceptable range, so the village would not disappear.

It was getting late, and smoke rose from the village. There is a wooden fence on the outskirts of the village, mainly to prevent wild animals from breaking in at night. There is a guard formed by hunters in the village, together with an infantry squad stationed here by Sunset City, protecting the villagers. This guard composed of villagers and soldiers has less than 30 people, and most of the time, the work of night watch is done by soldiers, which is their minimum obligation.

Tonight was no exception. Just after dinner, several soldiers whose turn was to watch the night came to the outpost on the outskirts of the village. The outpost is a log cabin, no different from those hunter cabins in the mountains. Inside there was a crude fireplace and a few beds, and outside there were piles of wood so that the soldiers could keep a fire warm in the middle of the night. It's just that it's not winter, so there's no need for these things.

There are few foreign enemies in Denis Village. Even though the Count Aubain's territory is across the Sumara River, the villages on the other side of the river did not pose any real threat to this place. The biggest threat is wild beasts wandering in the wild, and wild beasts usually come out in the middle of the night, so at this time, the soldiers are more relaxed, sitting on the wooden posts outside the outpost and chatting to pass the time.

Suddenly, a panicked hunter ran out from the woods ahead, and he even carried a few hares on his shoulders. However, because of his panic, the hunter fell three times in a short distance of less than 100 meters, so that the prey fell to the ground. A soldier recognized him, smiled and shouted: "Julian, what are you doing in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to go home and sleep with your wife?"

Several soldiers laughed.

The hunter Julian ran to the outpost, panting, pointed to the other side of the Sumara River, and shouted out of breath: "...No, it's not good...Someone, I..."

The soldier patted him on the back and said, "Speak slowly, don't worry. What did you see?"

Julian suddenly raised his head and roared with all his strength: "Army, it's an army! The army that crossed the river from the Earl's Land, they're coming this way!"

"what?"

While the soldiers were still shocked, there was a neighing sound from the woods. They looked half-believingly, the moon was bright and clear tonight, and the grassland from the forest was silvery white. In this almost holy moonlight, a war horse suddenly broke out from the woods and plunged into the grass under the moonlight. It was a knight, followed by several other knights, and behind these knights, a little bit of fire appeared first. Soldiers with torches rushed out of the forest one by one, and followed the knights to form a torrent!

"trigger the alarm!"

"Ready to fight!"

The soldiers in Deni Village screamed. At this critical moment, they still did not forget to ring the alarm bell, and they were well-trained. However, when the first bell rang, a few balls of fire suddenly shot from the enemy's side and blasted straight towards the outpost. The soldiers outside the cabin yelled and ran away. The next moment, the wooden house was blown away, and scorching air waves blew around.

The soldier who was ringing the alarm bell ran out screaming from the wooden house. He had turned into a ball of fire. After only two steps, he fell to the ground without a sound.

How fast the war horse is, in just a moment, it has already rushed to the vicinity of the post. The soldiers looked at all this in despair, their strength was insignificant under the majestic momentum of the opponent, and they couldn't even give birth to resistance. The leading knight stopped in front of the soldier, while other knights and warriors passed by him like a tide. Under the moonlight, the knight's silver hair reflected the moonlight, shining brightly.

He looked at the soldiers with bright red eyes, and said flatly: "Surrender, you have no chance of winning."

A soldier yelled unwillingly, drew his sword and rushed towards the knight. The others seemed to hear the knight sigh, and then the knight moved a black sword in his hand. As a result, there was an additional orange light under the moonlight, and that light passed over the soldiers. The soldier was shaken all over, and stopped there, and then the light armor on his body cracked, and then his body tilted, his upper body slid down to the grass, but his lower body was still standing on the spot.

After a while, blood spurted out from the cross section of the corpse, spraying several nearby soldiers and the hunter all over the head and face.

At this time, the village was already full of flames, and the voices of people were soaring.

Allen looked at the remaining soldiers and asked, "Choose. Revolt, or surrender?"

The soldiers looked at each other with wry smiles, took off their weapons one after another, and replaced their answers with actions. Allen nodded and said, "Very well, you come with me."

"Master, if you want us to participate in massacring the village, then kill us!" The soldiers suddenly shouted.

Allen looked at them unexpectedly, but shook his head and said, "I'm not that cruel. As long as no one in the village resists, I won't kill lightly."

Only then did the soldiers feel relieved, that was their bottom line.
