Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 448: A New Battle

It was already half an hour before the drinker was sent away. It's hard for this person to be eloquent. He heard that Carlo was interested in Alan's affairs, and he started talking tit-for-tat with Sir Granal at the dinner party, until Alan led the army directly into Daniel's territory. And captured Sunset City overnight. Afterwards, he did not forget to add his various views on the jazz, but the result was naturally dismissed by the impatient Carlo.

Carlo seemed to be in great spirits, and ate several steaks in a row. He didn't eat and drink enough until the basins were stacked up to five. He patted his stomach, and cursed: "Damn it, this is the best meal I've eaten since I was thrown into the sea by that damned Naga. Although their food is terrible, forget it .”

On the same day, he encountered the Naga people's underwater palace, and Carlo's ship was sunk by the super sea monster Mogronir, who was raised by the Naga people. Falling into the water, except for the few strong ones, ordinary masters falling into the water will not be the opponents of the Naga people. What's more, almost all the Naga warriors who came out of the underwater palace were from the royal family. The combat strength of the elite royal family is beyond the reach of ordinary fighters. Even with Carlo's audacity, he can only flee away with the blood tooth knight and three or five cronies.

After escaping ashore by chance, Carlo took the Ark Port, making it clear that he wanted to vent his grievances on Allen. According to Carlo's logic, the reason why he encountered such unlucky things was all thanks to Allen. Now not only did he not catch the Naga, but even the Breaker sank. If he didn't take Allen back, he really couldn't think of how to explain to his father.

So regardless of the opposition of the Bloodfang Knight, Carlo finally arrived at the Ark Port.

Now that he knew where Alan was going, Carlo began to figure it out. The bloodtooth knight next to him reminded: "Master, since the other party is with the army, it is difficult for us to do anything. In my opinion, we should go back to Orca Port first before making plans. This loss is not the responsibility of the young master, Eli. Master Ke will not blame you."

"Shut up!" Carlo glared at the knight angrily and said, "If you don't take this Allen back, father won't be able to explain to the people above, understand? Concerning father."

"If this is the case, we should go back and organize the army to come to have a chance of winning."

"Go back. Do you know how long it will take to go back and forth? If that Allen has left Ark Harbor by then, how can I settle accounts with him?" Carlo snorted coldly: "And didn't you listen just now?" ? The idiot Earl Aubain only gave that miscellaneous soldier named Allen, do you think a cannon fodder can frighten me?"

The Bloodfang Knight made his last effort and said, "Master, this is not a wise choice."

"Really? I think I can take this opportunity to give these rural nobles a big blow, so that they know that although the power of Killer Whale Port cannot cover such a far place, they are not something they can afford to offend! " Carlo slapped the table with a slap,

Said flatly.

Seeing that he was determined to do this, the Bloodtooth Knight could only sigh inwardly, but stopped admonishing him. Although with their special status under Earl Eric's influence, they don't have to be just tools for fighting like other knights. But now that he has said so far, he has done his part. If he interfered with Carlo's decision again, he would have crossed the limitless boundary of being a subordinate.

It was also dusk, but Allen didn't bother to eat dinner. He had just returned from the barracks, and after temporarily recruiting 300 strong recruits, the barracks in Sunset City seemed a bit crowded. If it was the past, Roy or Broy could be responsible for training recruits, but now these two are not around, so Allen can only act as half an instructor.

After all, among the people around him, Belmode is not suitable for leading troops to fight, and Regis is more inclined to be strong in personal force, even though both of them have taught Dark Blade. But that is a special force, which is very different from training a regular army. So Alan can only go on his own, and the original officers of Sunset City will replace the places that he can't take care of.

The training of recruits cannot be carried out in a short time. If the formal procedures are followed, they need at least three months of regular training. Now Alan doesn't have so much time to train these soldiers, so Alan simplified his knife skills into a few simple and fierce attacks, and taught them to the soldiers. Officers are then asked to have soldiers practice repeatedly until their bodies memorize the movements.

Although Sunset City is not considered rich, but because it is sitting on several iron mines, there are some good weapons in the armory. For example, a batch of hatchets were extracted by Allen and distributed to the Mountain King warriors. Each Mountain King warrior was assigned five such handaxes, and Alan asked Belmod to guide them in throwing handaxes. Belmode was very helpless about this. He himself was good at throwing throwing knives, which was completely different from throwing axes.

However, he did not refuse Alan's request. After playing with a few hatchets for a day, Belmode figured out a few throwing movements and taught them to the Mountain King Warrior. After practice, the Mountain King Warrior can throw the handaxe in a straight line with the greatest strength and fastest speed. At a distance of twenty meters, the handaxe is capable of piercing standard armor.

Once it is used on a large scale, its power will naturally be extraordinary. In this way, the Mountain King Warrior also has some advantages of long-range suppression. It's just that there are not many Mountain King warriors brought by Allen, and people with extraordinarily strong physiques like them are not easily recruited, so Mountain King's ax and rain tactics can only play a partial suppression role.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Belmode handed over a piece of information to Allen. The information was collected by Dark Blade, and after receiving Sunset City, Dark Blade was dispatched by Allen. They are responsible for going deep into the territory for a hundred kilometers and monitoring the actions of the Dawn Castle. Now that Daniel's army is held back by Auban, if the Viscount wants to attack Sunset City, he can use the Dawn Castle or Bauhinia, two fairly good armies.

Among them, Shuguang Castle is the closest to Sunset City, and the army can reach it within three days if it is hundreds of kilometers away. Therefore, Allen focused on monitoring the dynamics of Dawn Castle, and the dark blade lived up to his trust, and soon information came back.

Looking at the information on the intelligence, Allen said in a deep voice: "We will have a battle soon."

Belmode was not surprised at all, but Sir Tommen next to him frowned deeply, and the thing he was most unhappy about happened. Even though it wasn't the Unicorn Legion that came, facing the army from Dawn Castle, Tormen felt a little embarrassed.

"Let the people below get ready, this time it's not Dawn Castle, but also Baron Bauhinia Oulu's army." Putting down the information, Allen said.

"If they unite, there will be at least 2,000 people... Even if we add new recruits, the number is still a disadvantage." Tormen said with a sad face.

"If it's just the number of people, it's not impossible." Allen looked at the baron and said, "I've read the information about Sunset City before. There are hundreds of coolies in Sunset City in the Cloudy Cloud Valley. Count them in as well." If not, we will not be much worse than those two coalition forces."

Tommen said in surprise: "Master Allen is going to use the coolies too, this, this is a bit militaristic."

Allen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Sir Tommen. I won't get dizzy and think that a few hundred coolies can fight against the regular army. I just need them to make up their numbers and put on a show. As for the rest, I have other ideas." plan."

"Well, you go to Xiayun Valley immediately and bring the coolies here. Tell them that as long as they fight for me, they can be free."

"Freedom..." Tuomen smiled wryly, "Sir, if there are no coolies, how can we maintain the work of the mine."

"The work in the mine is something that will come later. First we have to pass this level. Believe me, Sir Tommen, this is our first difficulty. Get over it, and the future will be easy. As for the mine, we will wait for the battle." After the end, the coolies can buy it again. If it doesn’t work, give the opportunity to work to the local people, and if the wages are raised appropriately, I think some people will be willing to do it. Of course, our income must be relatively low.”

Allen waved his hand and said, "Okay, just do as I tell you, and leave the rest to me."

Tormen is not good at fighting, and after hearing what Allen said, he had to follow suit. After Tormen left, Belmode was gearing up a bit: "Boss, according to your style, it is impossible to allow the enemy to come to our city brazenly."

"Of course, we also arrived at Sunset City. A tired army is easier to deal with than a high-minded army, right?" Allen smiled lightly and said, "Go and call Regis and the others, and we will start with the army." Send out a troop each from Sunset City, it's time to hide and seek."

"Sounds very interesting." Belmode laughed.

A temporary camp was built outside Dawn Castle, and the many flags planted on the camp did not belong to Raffles. It was Bauhinia's army, and Oulu brought his army as promised. This 800-man army is mainly composed of cavalry and infantry, which is also a common configuration in noble private armies. However, Oru also has an extra heavy infantry of about 50 people, and those tin cans are the nightmare of light cavalry. The thick plate armor on their bodies can resist the attacks of swords and muskets, and the dragon spears that can be combined are a sharp weapon against cavalry.

Sir Oulu's heavy infantry was originally established after Daniel's Unicorn Knight, but with Oulu's financial resources, he couldn't afford a heavy cavalry. Therefore, we can only take the next best thing and arm a heavy infantry. These infantry generally have a strength of around seven levels, and they are rare elite troops in the Jazz's army. Before attacking Storm City, Oulu was not willing to take out this army, but this time he took it with him, which shows that he has spent a lot of money.
