Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 351: Burn Camp

"Hurry up, you slaves!"

A soldier waved his whip and fiercely slapped several slaves with their upper bodies bare. The tanned slaves could only clench their teeth and tug at the ropes on their backs, dragging a four-wheeled cart across the slope with great difficulty.

The leading officer frowned and wiped his sweat as he looked ahead. "Damn it, he actually burned the supplies. Commander Mo Gu is really wrong."

This person was the officer who had been stationed in the Wind Erosion Canyon that day.

After Mo Gu sent his men back to Storm City to ask for reinforcements, he and the squad at the checkpoint gathered together. Originally, the army was usually in charge of transporting military supplies, but now, Mogu had almost all of Storm City's main forces deployed to Sur City. If he used the army at this time, Storm City's defenses would appear empty.

Hence, Mo De switched to the garrison at the checkpoint and added a hundred slaves to form this special caravan of goods.

According to the itinerary, they would arrive in Sur City in another two days. The leading officer wished he could insert his wings into his back and fly over to meet up with the main force. Even though he had no more than twenty soldiers, it would still be difficult for him to supervise the slaves of nearly a hundred people. If it weren't for the fact that these slaves were already scared, or else they would have escaped halfway, the soldiers would have been helpless against them.

It was late afternoon, and the sun was baking the ground hot. The rising hot air on the road distorted the scenery. So much so that the low mountains and peak pillars in front of them were about to melt under the blazing sun like cheese, crooked and crooked. The officer wiped away his sweat, and his eyes were almost drenched in sweat, so when a figure appeared in the middle of the road, he thought it was an illusion.

It wasn't until he approached that he realized that it was indeed a person.

A youth riding a war horse, his silver hair dazzling in the sunlight. The officer suddenly felt as if he had seen this person before. He suddenly remembered that not long ago, when a caravan passed through the Wind Erosion Canyon and went to Violet Harbor, the person leading the caravan seemed to be the person in front of him.

He's not dead? The officer clearly remembered that he had already sent someone to inform Dick and the others to rob the caravan. Unfortunately, he was later transferred back to Mo De, so he didn't have time to inquire about Dick and the others' results.

The officer cursed and picked up the rifle on his horse and pointed forward, "Who is blocking the way? Don't you want to die?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are," Alan said with a smile.

"Are you blind? Don't you see that this is the symbol of Storm City? Scram!" The officer shouted.

"It's Storm City." Alan nodded and said, "I have two choices for you now. One is to leave the supplies behind. The other is to leave your corpses with the supplies. I personally suggest you choose the first one so that neither of us will have to waste our energy."

"How dare you rob military resources!" The officer shouted.

Alan laughed and stopped talking. He jumped off the horse and landed on the ground. His hand was already dragging Dao Qianjun towards the officer with lightning bolts. The officer was shocked. The other party's speed was actually so fast. Just as he was about to raise his gun and shoot, a light lit up at the corner of his eyes. In the next moment, he had already bounced off his horse. When he landed on the ground, he discovered a huge gap in his chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the energy in his body disappeared along with the blood gushing out of his body.

Alan stopped halfway and looked at the other side helplessly. '"Next time, you have to hurry up," said Regis, smiling as he carried his sword and chopped iron.

At the same time that Allen and the other two attacked, the Mountain King's warriors also joined the battlefield. Twenty Mountain King warriors were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, quickly harvesting the lives of Storm City's soldiers. A soldier wanted to escape, but Adele, who was hiding high up in the air, sniped him one by one. The battle ended in a short while, and all the people in Storm City were cleaned up.

Previously, when Regis had discovered this supply team, Alan had decided to take action to retain them. The reason was very simple. This troop was mostly transporting grain. Storm City would definitely not send grain to Sur City. Then the only remaining possibility was to send supplies to his army. Alan naturally chose to attack without hesitation. Now that his goal had been achieved, it was beyond his expectations that there were over a hundred slaves in the team.

When they fought, the slaves were all lying on the ground, and no one escaped. Now that the Mountain King Warriors had gathered them together, Allen stepped forward and said, "Who is in charge?"

A rather strong man stepped forward and said, "My name is Sander, my lord. They all listen to me. Please don't kill us. We can serve you."

Alan nodded and said, "Alright, Sander, I need you to continue transporting these supplies. When this is over, I can give you your freedom. After that, you can either leave or stay in Sur City as workers."

Sander was overjoyed, "I'll listen to you, my lord."

Alan walked back. The Mountain King Warrior was burying the corpses of the soldiers. According to Alan's previous request, the uniform and armor on the corpse were removed. Looking at the pile of Storm City soldiers' equipment under his feet, Alan said, "Everyone, change your clothes."

Two days later, when Mogu organized another attack on Sur City. The soldiers in charge of staying at the camp discovered that a convoy of goods and materials carrying the name of Storm City had finally arrived late. The soldiers revealed a happy expression. With this batch of food, they would no longer be hungry to fight, nor would they need to go hunting in the dangerous wilderness and forests.

After confirming that the documents and tokens handed over were correct, the soldiers released them. However, he was surprised that the officer leading the team seemed to be too young.

"Alright, let's stop here. Let's move the supplies here."

The original stockpile had been cleaned up and additional guards had been deployed. The young officer ordered the slaves to unload the cart and put it on the dump. During this busy period, the soldiers in the camp did not notice that there were some people missing from the team.

Not long after, a tent suddenly burned. After being discovered and extinguished by the soldiers who passed by, the soldiers were relieved, but they discovered that more and more tents were on fire. The weather was hot and the goods were dry. As the fire grew larger and larger, the area of the fire gradually occupied half of the barracks, the soldiers' faces turned ashen. Although they cried out to put out the fire, they could not extinguish the burning fire no matter what.

The soldiers in the camp were also shocked by the fire. They didn't care about helping carry supplies and joined the ranks of the fire fighters. At this time, some of the soldiers in Storm City's uniform returned to the stacking point. The leader of them lifted his hat, but it was Regis.

As for the young officer, he was naturally Alan.

Regis nodded and said, "The barracks have been set ablaze as you said. Look, the fire is burning so badly."

"Alright, stop watching. We still have work to do." Alan said to the other slaves, "There's nothing else for you here. Sand, take everyone and leave. You can find a place to hide nearby and come to Sur City after the battle is over. If you want to leave then stay, you can make your decision."

After saying that, he brought his own people and did not leave.

Mo Gu, who was directing the battle at the front, suddenly smelled a burnt scent. When he turned around, his eyes almost darkened and he was about to faint. Behind him, Youda's barracks had turned into a sea of fire. Judging from the magnitude of the fire, there was no way the camp could be rescued. It wasn't just tents, equipment, first aid medicines, and other supplies in the barracks that seemed to have been torched.

With this fire burning, even if he captured Sur City this time, Mo Gu would still be heavily blamed if he went back.

'"Who told me what's going on?" The Knight Guild Leader roared furiously.

The main force was fighting at the foot of Sur City. Right now, there was only one personal guard by Mogu's side. The soldiers of the Personal Guards looked at me and I looked at you, but no one could say anything. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a shower. Mo Gu raised his head and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards him from the direction of the barracks. The leader shouted, "My lord, this is bad. The barracks "

He seemed to be saying something, but his voice was muffled by the hoof sound. Mogu roared irritably, "Why is the camp on fire? Did you bastards accidentally set it on fire?"

"No, my lord."

The twenty-some cavalry finally approached. The leader of the cavalry looked exceptionally young, and there was even a faint smile on his face. Mo Gu was stunned. He felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Who are you and which army do you belong to?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not your subordinate, but a knights of Sur City!" Allen shouted loudly. He jumped up from his horse with his saber, crossing the space of more than ten meters between the two sides like lightning and slashing down with his saber.

Mo Gu's mind was filled with thunder. He never thought that a knights from Sur City would come out of his camp. Seeing Allen slash down with his saber, the saber's momentum was as heavy as a mountain, causing his heart to tremble. He shouted and pulled out his sword. With Origin Energy infused into the sword, the sword released Origin Energy flames. With a single sword move, it sealed Allen's heavy saber.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out on the battlefield. The collision of Origin Energy between the two sides was like thunder and wind. The invisible impact caused the guards around Mo Gu to stagger around as if they were drunk. Mo Gu stepped off the horse and spat out two thin blood lines from his nostrils. His hooves went limp and he powerlessly fell to the ground. Allen was prepared and had the advantage of being condescending. How could a full-force attack be so easily blocked? Mo Gu was shocked to the point that his blood energy surged, his arms numbed, and his chest was depressed. When the warhorse fell to the ground, it rolled and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Only then did it feel as if it was breathing more smoothly.

But in the blink of an eye, the Mountain King Warrior behind Alan had already fought against his personal guards. Regis even dragged his sword to Mogu's side, and he moved with the sword, transforming into a flash of light that collided horizontally. Mo Gu gritted his teeth and used his intuition to pick out his sword, hitting the tip of Regis' sword. The two of them separated as if they had been electrocuted. Mogu spat out another mouthful of hot blood and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Alan and Regis.
