Five Hundred and Sixtieth IX Infighting

The sky quietly became gloomy.

Large patches of gray clouds gradually covered the sky, blocking the noon sun, making the sky light falling in the Black Iron Fort very oppressive and heavy. This black city is panting heavily like an overwhelmed old man. The pressure comes from the battle between Sir Sharon and Higgs, and the two have risen from the secret to the open, which is nothing short of a terrible thing for the people living in this city.

Because their sons, husbands, or fathers were in Sharon's army, or the Knights of the Black Cloud. Regardless of who is the winner in the end, it is conceivable that they will only be the ones who bleed and suffer.

Galloping across the city's avenues, men and women emerged from the dark houses from time to time, all with expressions of shock+pig+pig+island+novel ww.zhom panic on their faces. Allen took in all the faces and read from them the desire to end the fight as soon as possible.

Black Iron Castle is a city with a rough style, and its urban layout is also simple and intuitive. The Heiyun Avenue connecting the city gate is the central axis of the entire city, and all the buildings in the city are distributed along this central axis to spread out to both sides. It is also a city with distinct classes, the closer to the outskirts of the city, the more low-rise residential buildings. They are connected by complex and narrow alleys, forming a star-studded slum. And the closer to the city center, the wider the streets radiating from Heiyun Avenue, the larger the houses, and the wider the intervals. The most obvious one is the greening, the vegetation planted on both sides of the road is obviously invisible when you first enter the city.

Housing determines identity and status, and the class characteristics of the poor and the noble can be clearly distinguished in this city.

Tieshi Avenue is undoubtedly the most noble place in the city. This spacious street turned from Heiyun Avenue leads directly to the palace-like City Lord's Mansion. On both sides of Tieshi Avenue are mostly large houses and Chinese courtyards, with a quiet and elegant environment. Mansion No. 1 is undoubtedly the largest and most luxurious house here, with a deep courtyard and many flowers and plants planted inside. The layout of the house, which consists of the main building, auxiliary courtyard, lawn, garden, garage, etc., is a rare complex layout even in Tieshi Avenue.

To be able to live in such a big house, the identity of the owner of the house is naturally not easy. In fact, this house is actually Sharon's private house, where he used to house his wife and several children. It's just that there seems to be some exceptions today. When the cavalry of Higgs came to the front of the No. 1 mansion, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed in front of the mansion. These soldiers wear dark brown armor with a wolf's head emblem on the chest.

This means that they are Sir Sharon's Guards, a military system that is completely independent of the army and not under the command of Higgs. The number of guards is less than a hundred, but they are all well-trained soldiers. Their leader is naturally Tucker who claims to be able to challenge Higgs. Of course, that young man was defeated by Higgs not long ago, and his reputation plummeted, but he still has a strength that cannot be underestimated.

Tucker is on duty in the city lord's mansion, so the soldiers stationed in the mansion are his adjutant Pisen.

Pisen is a middle-aged man, so serious that he is almost dull. The strength of the thirteenth level is equivalent to the Dark Thunder Knight under Higgs, and it is enough to serve as Tucker's adjutant. His armor style is very ordinary, and there are even a few inconspicuous cracks on it. If it weren't for the wolf head with the guard logo, one eye was painted scarlet as the logo of the adjutant of the guard. Otherwise, throw Pisen into the crowd, I'm afraid people will find it hard to recognize him.

After all, he is too ordinary, too ordinary.

Pisen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Higgs' cavalry approaching like a black cloud. Then someone opened the iron gate of the mansion, and he walked forward with a group of soldiers. He waved his hand to make the guard who stopped Higgs retreat, then stood at attention to Higgs who was riding on a tall horse, clenched his hands into fists and lightly hammered his chest and said, "Master Higgs."

"Adjutant Pearson, what's going on. I want to see Melinda." Higgs' voice came from behind the iron face of the war, and it was cold without any emotional ups and downs.

Pierson's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Higgs. Sir Sharon has ordered that no one can see his wife unless he agrees."

"Including me?"

"Including you!"

"That's my sister!" Higgs' tone was three-pointed again.

Pisen looked at Higgs blankly and said, "I'm sorry, please don't embarrass us, my lord."

Higgs had put his hand on his pitch-black greatsword, and Dark Thunder Knight's hand was also on the folding crossbow on the side of the horse. All the cavalry except Allen were ready for battle. The murderous aura rushing towards his face made Pisen and all the guards turn pale. When even the adjutant thought that a battle was inevitable, Higgs suddenly left the giant sword and took the rein back: "Well, since it is the order of the Sir."

He turned his horse's head around, waved his hand, and led the cavalry away.

Only then did Pisen heave a sigh of relief. He found that his back was wet with cold sweat.

When they come, they are aggressive, but when they go, they let the horse walk slowly. Higgs didn't know whether to tell Allen, or to understand the doubts of these people, he rode on the horse and said indifferently: "That was a trick set by Sharon. He wanted to provoke me and make me make some mistakes. Just like just now, if we were impulsive and rushed into the courtyard directly, then Sharon could take advantage of this and directly use the army to deal with us. But this time, people will not be on our side."

"But my lord, shall we leave the lady and the young master alone?" said a knight.

Higgs has already taken off the cold metal mask: "Everything will be resolved tonight, let the Jazz be proud for a while. I think Melinda and the others can endure until tomorrow."

Hearing his words, the knights all geared up. Allen was thoughtful, and now both Sharon and Higgs wanted to solve their opponents as soon as possible. So Sharon borrowed troops from other big men, and Higgs went directly to him. Now that he has come, Sha Lang obviously has not borrowed reinforcements, so the outcome is almost predictable.

All just tonight.

In the evening, it rained. At first, it was just a gust of wind and rain, but when the lights of every house were turned on, the black iron castle was torrentially raining. Thunder rumbled from time to time in the sky, and large strips of lightning seemed to separate the world, causing the city below to continuously cycle between light and darkness.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, Sharon's face appeared and disappeared in the alternating light and dark. After the strong flash of light between the sky and the earth passed, he pulled the gauze curtain to completely cover the wind and rain world outside the window, so a face engraved with vicissitudes of life returned to the warm light of the study. Sharon put his hands behind his back and said in a low voice: "You said, Higgs went to Iron Stone No. 1 in the morning, but he just said a few words and then clapped his hands and left?"

The young guard leader Tucker said respectfully: "That's it, sir. I thought Higgs would not be able to resist, so I will have a chance to ask the knight leader for advice."

Obviously, he was upset about losing to Higgs in front of people last time.

Sharon shook his head and said: "Heggs has always been very deep in the city, and he can hold his breath. Thinking back, how many opponents were dragged down by his deep scheming. But now I am his opponent That's all, he will never do meaningless things. Since there is no conflict with Iron Stone No. 1, it can only show that he has other plans. And the plans are not trivial."

"Do you know where he went some time ago?"

"This..." Tucker bowed his head and said, "Subordinates really should strengthen the training of intelligence professionals."

"That's no fault of you." Sharon waved his hand and said, "After he came back last time, he took the heavy responsibility of the city defense. That has always been the work of the Black Cloud Knights, and I can't stop it. Higgs took this opportunity to block us It's not surprising. But his whereabouts are not difficult to guess, and he is probably going to rescue soldiers."

"Rescue?" Tucker sneered and said, "Earl Reckard has promised us to send troops to help, and the army is on the way now. Once the Earl's army arrives, I will see what rescuers can save Higgs Captain."

"That's right, so during this period of time, you ask the people below to restrain themselves as much as possible. Just let Higgs be more majestic." Sharon's eyes showed a trace of tiredness: "I'm tired, you go down first. "

"Please rest assured, my lord."

After Tucker left, Sharon still did not leave. He suddenly remembered many things, especially when he was young. At that time, he and Higgs were not enemies. Sharon suddenly sighed: "How did we get to this point?"

In this sigh, there is a bit of helplessness that cannot be let go.

The torrential rain continued, and the rain lines cut the sky and the earth into pieces. In such an environment, the line of sight was severely disturbed, which distressed the two guards squatting in a secret post in the city lord's mansion in the rain. They were wearing raincoats made of animal leather, but they still couldn't prevent the rain from continuously seeping into the inner armor and close-fitting clothing. The wet feeling was really terrible.

One of them scolded: "Why doesn't this damn rain stop!"

The companion next to him smiled wryly and looked at him, as if he wanted to say something. But his eyes suddenly changed, as if he saw something terrible. The guard opened his mouth wide, but before he had time to spit out what he wanted to say, a steel arrow blasted through the rain curtain and nailed it into the guard's neck with a flood of rain. The strong impact even made him take a few steps back, and then fell directly from the roof of the City Lord's Mansion.

Before the rest of the guards could react, there was a continuous sensation of severe pain from behind, and then the sound of rain in their ears gradually faded away, and the world in their eyes also spun. He fell to the ground of the rooftop, but there were two more steel arrows on his back that were almost submerged in his body.

Soon, a layer of bloody water floated up on the ground of the rooftop, and rushed to the distance again due to the rain.
