Edge of the Apocalypse

The 3779th Chapter Hide and Seek (2)

Oulu arrived at the camp first, and then his hoplites were assembled one after another. Under the light of the lit torches on the left and right, Oulu squinted his eyes and saw the figure in the dark night in front of the camp. In the eyes of Oulu, this figure is so proud and arrogant. Alone, dare to stand in front of the barracks, this is louder than any slap in the face.

Jazz already felt his face was hot, he grabbed a torch, threw it towards the figure and shouted: "Who is it!"

The torch fell to the ground, and Jumoth extinguished it. In the firelight, the figure moved forward, and his short silver hair reflected the firelight, burning like a flame. Sir Oru's surprised face was reflected in those magma-like pupils.

The baron couldn't help but took a step back, and lost his voice: "Are you that Allen?"

They haven't seen Allen yet, but from the previous commander's description and many rumors, they have learned some dazzling features of this opponent. For example, the rare short silver hair, the ruby-like eyes, and the black sword that once killed Dulufu.

So now when he saw Alan, Oulu recognized him.

Allen didn't seem to see the tin cans behind the baron, let alone the army horses in the camp starting to mobilize in this direction. He said indifferently as if chatting with an old friend: "Good evening, Sir Oru."

Oulu is definitely not in a good mood. The fact that the Allen people are here is the greatest contempt for him and the army. Sir Oru's sensitive self-esteem is being tested the most. If it weren't for Alan beheading Dulufu first, and then defeating Tormen, his reputation would have spread far and wide. Otherwise, how would he be able to hold back now, he would have charged forward long ago. Now he can only hold his breath, and said: "This night is really wonderful. Sir Allen's actions are beyond the expectations of ordinary people. Let me guess, Sir Allen must have other arrangements around here, but he came alone , to lure me out of the camp, so that I can step into your trap. Did I say so?"

"Sir Oru is really a cautious person, but I can tell you that I am indeed the only one here now. I have a proposal, and Sir Oru may dare to accept my challenge. I can guarantee that before the winner is decided, Never leave this place." Allen put down the knife case and pulled out Qianjun from it.

Oulu smiled, and said: "Sir Allen really knows how to joke. When two armies fight, the outcome is determined by one or two people."

He said this openly, but in fact, everyone could tell that Oulu was timid. It's not his fault, Olu asked himself to be tougher than Tomen's three-pointer, but it was limited after all, and it was not as good as Dulufu. Even Sir Hungry Wolf was beheaded by the young man in front of him, and it was nothing but embarrassing for him to fight, so he simply found an excuse to refuse.

Allen suddenly stopped looking at him, and looked up at the silver moon in the sky and said indifferently: "It seems that although the Viscount is big, there are very few real warriors.

Dulufu counts as one character, and Baron Tormen, though he knows that he is invincible, but fights for the people, is also counted as one. Apart from these two, I couldn't see the third one. "

Not to mention Oru now, even the hoplites next to him felt ashamed. It's just that their faces are hidden in the helmets, so they can't see their expressions. Oulu's face was brilliant, and several emotions appeared alternately in an instant. Being ridiculed by Allen in front of so many eyes, he really wanted to dig a slit in the ground to hide himself.

He snorted and said, "Heavy Legion, leave Sir Allen behind. I'd like to see how much ransom Earl Aubain is willing to pay for him."

The heavy soldiers shouted in unison, but Allen laughed and said: "Since Sir Oru has no courage to accept the challenge, please forgive me for not accompanying me."

After saying that, turn around and run away.

Oulu was stunned, and then shouted: "Bring the horse here, we can't let him go back!"

Even though he knew that Allen would not be so stupid as to leave alone, Oulu believed that he would not be able to pull a large army. And if there are thousands of fighters on my side, if they don't dare to chase after this, they will be ashamed to see others in the future. Soon the soldiers brought the horses, Oulu jumped on the horses, and rode the horses with the heavy troops to catch up. He didn't believe that Alan's two legs could run faster than the four-legged war horse.

As soon as Oru left the camp with the heavy armored corps, suddenly shouts sounded from behind the camp. Raffles, who had just arrived at the gate of the camp, could only turn back when he heard the sound. When he reached the middle of the camp, he was stopped by his commander.

"My lord, you can't go anywhere." The commander smiled wryly.

"What happened?" Raffles felt that this sentence was the most said tonight.

The commander frowned and said: "It's the strong enemy. They slid down the cliff on the left to make a surprise attack. Our soldiers were caught off guard and they have already entered the camp. But don't worry, I have already organized several lines of defense to fight against the enemy. They stopped them and are now preparing to mobilize troops to besiege them."

Raffles said with a dark face, "How many people are there?"

The commander raised three fingers.

"The three of them rushed into our barracks. Could it be that our soldiers are all paper?" Raffles said angrily.

The commander smiled wryly: "But each of them is at least as strong as you, and the young man with double blades is even more powerful..."

At the end of the sentence, there was a sharp sound of air waves breaking through the air behind the camp. Raffles looked up and saw a blue light/air passing across the camp, with dots of light flickering among them, which looked like a gathering of stars, a vast galaxy. That kind of deep and vast aura, like the stars falling down, is really extraordinary.

"At all costs, I want to see their corpses!" Raffles said in a deep voice.

It's a pity that when the commander wanted to close the encirclement to trap these intruders, they were very keen. Sensing the commander's movements, he forcibly broke through the encirclement first, leaving only the corpses of fifty soldiers behind.

Although the loss was not too much, it undoubtedly slapped Raffles across the face. What made the baron even more unacceptable was that after these strong men left, they were attacked again before dawn. This attack consisted of a force of about 200 people. The sentinels set up by the commander outside the camp did not serve as a warning at all, and they were not discovered until they were touched by the enemy.

After a fierce and short battle, the opponent quickly left, this time both sides suffered casualties.

But the successive attacks made all the soldiers in the camp fearful and unable to sleep peacefully. At dawn the next day, everyone was depressed. Raffles didn't sleep well either. He stepped out of the tent and suddenly thought of Oulu and his regiment returning through the night.

At this time, there was a sound of people outside the camp, and a soldier reported to Sir that it was Olu who had returned. But there were only a dozen or so members of the heavy armored corps that came back with him, and Raffles was taken aback. No matter how he went after someone, Oulu actually lost two-thirds of his elite strength.

When he saw Auru, Raffles couldn't connect the man in front of him with dim eyes and a decadent face with Auru. He walked into the camp with Oru, and after sending the soldiers away, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Oulu smiled wryly, the scene that happened last night seemed to flash before his eyes.

The hooves sounded like thunder, echoing across the wilderness. Although he was a little behind because of the horse fetching, as Oulu expected, Allen couldn't run the horse at all in this flat wilderness, and soon Oulu saw the figure running wildly under the moonlight.

The somewhat thin figure always gives people the feeling that they will fall to the ground due to exhaustion in the next moment. But Alan kept running forward, as if his physical strength was inexhaustible. Even under the chase of the horses, he still ran across the wilderness and plunged into the woods. Seeing the woods, Oru hesitated. Going deep into the woods at night, the terrain is complicated, and it gives Allen every opportunity to break through.

But if he just returned empty-handed, it would probably become a laughing stock for other jazz. Oulu gritted his teeth and decided to venture into the forest. But at this time, Allen came out of the forest again, and there were more than a dozen people behind him. They hold fire/gun-like weapons in their hands, but their appearance is much rougher than common muskets, just like a small cannon that can be held in their hands.

Although he saw that Allen's men were holding weapons they had never seen before, their own side still had the numerical advantage, and Oulu launched an attack without hesitation. The heavily armored corps formed an offensive formation, and dozens of horses charged together, sweeping away with a strong murderous aura.

According to Oulu's plan, as long as the heavy armor survives the first round of attacks, once it gets close to the opponent, it will be Allen's death. But what happened next completely overturned his cognition.

He only saw Allen pointing with a heavy knife, and then ordered coldly: "Fire missiles, three rounds of covering attacks!"

Next, the light patterns on the surface of those rough guns flowed, and then bright fireballs crossed the ground one after another, hitting the heavily armored corps like a meteor shower. The successive violent explosions completely illuminated the night, and the scorching air flow from the explosions even hit Oulu, who was 20 meters away from the corps. He looked at the thirty or so fireballs in disbelief. After a round of bombardment that was as dense as rain, the heavy armored corps fell down.

The thick armor on these elites will not be blown apart, but there are cracks everywhere. The important thing is that the soldiers wrapped in an iron can were shocked to death inside. Especially the infantrymen in the center of the bombing, whose bodies were burned beyond recognition by the flames. Only half of the infantry in the outer circle could not be killed. However, as three light spots quietly appeared on the ground, three black and red pillars of fire rushed up one after another, and a dozen or so infantry who happened to be on the light spots were thrown into the air.

When they and their horses fell to the ground, they had already turned into corpses.

Sir Oru couldn't believe that the heavily armored corps he had carefully built was eaten up by the opponent in twos and threes. He fearfully gathered the remaining soldiers, and did not dare to attack again, so he could only return to the camp despondently with his tail between his legs.

"That's how it is." Oru said dejectedly: "Those weird firearms, I dare to swear that the improved rifles equipped by the regular army of the Empire don't have this kind of power. And it's strange, when those firearms shoot fireballs, I can clearly feel the power of the source. fluctuation."

Raffles said from ear to ear: "You mean, those are weapons that can drive the source power? Such weapons, but even the weapon workshops of the Empire can't make them?"

"I don't know, but I'm clear. The next time we meet them, don't charge rashly, otherwise we will face the threat of firepower comparable to continuous artillery fire."

Raffles nodded emphatically, comforted Oulu a few more words, and then left.

The army broke camp and set off an hour later. The march went smoothly, but the army had to stop when it was about to pass a mountain road that must be passed to Sunset City. What stopped the army's footsteps was the pile of gravel, broken trees, and tons of gravel in front of them. This pile of obstacles was as big as a small hill, blocking the entrance of the mountain path like this, making Raffles as ugly as possible.

Needless to say, he also knew that the pile of obstacles in front of him was a gift from Allen to them. Of course, the army can bypass this mountain road, detour through a forest not far away, and head to Sunset City from the other direction. But in this way, it will take four or five more days of work. If it's just like this, that's all. Just think about the repeated raids by Allen and his men on the camp last night, and you will know that once they enter the forest, they will give the opponent a flexible guerrilla opportunity.

After discussing with Oulu, Raffles decided to take a rest here while letting the soldiers clear the obstacles. They can be regarded as frightened birds, especially Oru, who was frightened by the loss of the heavy armored corps last night. He would rather spend more effort than divert his way through the forest and give Alan another chance to sneak attack.

Until the evening of this day, most of the obstacles were cleared. From the looks of it, it should probably be cleaned up by tomorrow morning. After such a day, the soldiers were tired and thirsty, and many soldiers had chapped lips. If this goes on without water to drink, the soldiers probably won't even have the strength to fight. Raffles had no choice but to send someone to look for water sources nearby. Fortunately, there is a small river flowing out of the forest next to it. Although the amount of water drawn each time is limited, it also postpones the crisis of the army's water shortage.

At night, the two lords stepped up their vigil, and more soldiers arranged to be on duty at night, and they focused on protecting the little food they had left, for fear that Allen would set it on fire again. In this way, most of the night passed, and seeing that everything was calm, the two lords rested in peace. But not long after lying down, Raffles smelled a choking smell of smoke. He opened his eyes, and a cloud of gray smoke was flowing from the ground of the tent.

Jazz thought that the barracks was on fire, so he hurried out through his tent. But in the night, there was no obvious fire in the camp, but a large puff of smoke billowed from the front, spreading across the entire camp, choking the soldiers so that they could not sleep, and there were coughing sounds everywhere. The smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility in the camp decreased a lot, and people dared not speak loudly in the camp, for fear of inhaling too much smoke.

Raffles covered his mouth with a handkerchief and yelled vaguely: "Go and call the commander!"

As soon as the order was issued, there was a large crowd of people behind the camp, and Raffles' heart sank when he heard it. He knew that it must be another attack launched by Allen.
