Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 352: Captive

Kuroshio floating load.

Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang! Mo Gu's heart skipped a beat. The silver-haired youth in front of him was the hardest he had ever seen. Every time the black heavy saber in the other party's hand attacked, it would be like a mountain toppling over the ground. The blade weighed more than Qianjun, making Mo Gu fight very hard. He was like a light boat sailing on the sea of black rage. If anything went wrong, he would be buried under Allen's endless saber force.

Not to mention, there was another Regis eyeing him covetously.

So far, Regis has made only a limited number of moves. However, every time he attacked, Allen's saber momentum would slow down slightly. Whenever Mogu wanted to snatch back the disadvantage, Regis would attack with lightning speed, disrupting Mogu's calculations. With a flash of this opportunity, Alan, who had earned the opportunity to regain his breath, would attack again. The black saber was like a dragon churning, making Mo Gu sweat profusely.

Mo Gu staggered backwards after blocking another saber strike. When he retreated, Alan entered, and Qian Jun followed him like a shadow, not giving the Guild Leader the slightest chance to catch his breath. Originally, with Mo Gu's level 17 strength, he wouldn't be able to kill Allen and the other two without a backhand. Unfortunately, Allen's first strike came without warning, and he attacked with all his might. Although Mo Gu managed to block it, he was already injured.

The next wave of attacks continued, not giving him the slightest chance to relax. Only then were they firmly suppressed by the two of them. However, Mo Gu was still very resilient, and his sword power was tightly guarding the door. Not for merit, but for futility. Alan also secretly praised the knight leader for his solid basic skills and rich combat experience. Otherwise, how could he last for so long?

The commotion on Mogu's side attracted the attention of the frontlines, and Legg led a group of cavalry back. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Allen intensified his attack. The blade of the Thousand Average Blade was dyed red, and the killing intent of the blade was awe-inspiring. It completely suppressed Mo Gu from his body and even his senses.

In the intense battle, Mo Gu's face flushed unnaturally. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood arrows. The blood arrow was still halfway through when it suddenly turned into a thick dark red flame. It was a flame formed by completely catalyzing the Origin Energy in the blood. This flame didn't have any temperature, but it was extremely tyrannical. Alan sensed the explosive Origin Energy contained in the blood flames and knew that Mogu had used his ability to suppress the pressure on the troops to buy time for the reinforcements.

"Adele!" Alan shouted loudly. All of his Origin Energy burst forth, and orange flames penetrated his body, enveloping Alan like flames.

Alan threw himself into the bloody flames. Mogu was stunned. He didn't want Alan to risk his life like this. He used his life-saving ability, Blood Boiling, to burn all the Origin Energy in his blood, turning it into an extremely tyrannical blood flame. After Allen crashed into the blood flames like a meteor, the two Origin Energy collided and the blood flames exploded, forming a storm of Origin Energy.

In the wild storm, lightning flashed out. It was Alan.

Mogu was dumbfounded. He could see many burns on Alan's body, and the uniform on his chest was burned to ashes, revealing his charred skin. However, his hands were as steady as rocks, and his saber slashed down like lightning. In the midst of his hurry, Mo Gu raised his sword and waved his lattice, but he was repeatedly pushed back by the violent saber force. At this moment, his heart trembled. Under the control of his intuition, he struggled to turn his body sideways, and a faint red light brushed past him. Immediately, the armor on Mo Gu's chest seemed to have been pulled by an invisible sharp blade. Suddenly, there was a crack. Blood sprayed out from the wound, causing him to groan in pain and almost faint.

At this moment, a muffled thunderous gunshot sounded from afar. Mo Gu was shocked. He roughly estimated that according to the strength of his voice, the other party had fired at least 600 to 700 meters away from him.

He had never known that there was such a gun in the world!

When Mogu regained his senses, Alan's heavy saber was already on his neck. At this time, Legg and the cavalry were still a hundred meters away from Mogu. Seeing Mogu being held hostage by Alan, Legg raised his hand and the cavalry stopped.

Alan whispered in Mogu's ear, "Tell your men to surrender."

Mo Gu gritted his teeth and said, "Knights have only died in battle. How have you ever heard of surrendering?"

He shouted at Legg, "Captain Legg, I order you to take everyone away. Hurry!"

Alan looked at him in surprise, and Legg made a decision. He immediately turned his horse around and rushed back to the main force. A moment later, Storm City began to withdraw its troops. The remaining troops left from the side of the battlefield. Neither Allen nor Sur City had the strength to intercept them. They could only watch as the army left the battlefield.

Only then did Mo Gu say, "You can kill me now."

Ellen shook his head. "Don't joke around. You've caused us a huge loss this time. Why would I kill you? I'm sure Sir Mord will pay the full ransom for you."

Mogu said angrily, "I'm not a prisoner."

"That's not up to you." Alan turned the back of his knife and knocked him unconscious by knocking him on the back of his head. Only then did he have the time to look at his injuries. Mo Gu's bloody flames were extremely powerful. Even though there wasn't any temperature, it was a bit more domineering than the high temperature flames he had produced from his burning.

Right now, some of Xu Yanli was still left in the wound, and it would take at least a day or two to remove it.

But no matter what, after a few days of siege, Storm City finally withdrew its troops.

"What nonsense! Nonsense! You're as brainless as your father! You're as reckless as a wild boar!"

In the mansion in Sur City, Father Miro shouted loudly as he and Lucy cleaned Alan's wounds. The duo had to carefully cut open the clothes that were stuck to their skin, wash them with disinfectant and apply an ointment. The place where the bloody flames exploded had to be stitched up and finally wrapped up with a clean bandage.

Father Miro was even more excited than Lucy and Adele when he heard that Alan had charged directly into each other's killing move. However, as he cursed loudly, his hand was fairly stable. He did not see any tremors when he stitched Alan's wound. It seemed that the priest's medical skills had improved in recent months.

"If he hadn't done that, it might have been a different ending now," Allen smiled bitterly.

"So what? The barracks have been burned down by you. Even if they can't catch the captain of the knights, they still have to obediently withdraw their troops." Cried Miro, patting Ellen on the shoulder. The pain was so great that he grinned. The priest snorted and said, "We can't catch him. At most, we'll lose some ransom. But if something happens to you, what do you want us people who follow you to do?"

"You shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading us back. Until then, you are not allowed to do such a nonsense. If you die, I will never see those lovely believers again."

Alan cupped his head and said, "Got it, got it. I'll be careful next time."

Miro let him go.

Not long after, Edward came. Seeing Alan wrapped in a bandage, he shrugged and said, "Look at you, I won't hug you anymore. Finally, you came back in time."

Ellen chuckled and said, "You guys did quite well, so a large gang forced you to stay here for almost a week."

Edward, on the other hand, was not greedy, saying, "That was Roy and the others' credit, and I'm not good at marching." Speaking of which, it's great that you caught Mogeng Gu. "I have already written a letter to send to Storm City. Mogu is Mo De's twin brother. He has to pay a large ransom for this knight commander, both in public and private. He has more or less made up for our loss."

"Oh right, how was your trip to Violet Harbor this time?"

"Not only did it go smoothly, it was simply a great achievement."

So Alan briefly summarized the harvest of this trip to Violet Harbor. Not only did they take away a piece of Dick's territory and set up a partnership with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, but they also tried to get Roger to watch the situation from the sidelines for the time being. But the most important thing was to understand the relationship between Storm City, Roger and Dick.

This was very important, and if they could not figure out that the three of them were standing on the same line, perhaps Alan and the others would lose in confusion.

Now is another situation.

"I originally thought of an excuse to use force against Storm City, but now it's saved. According to the customs of the nobles, it would be strange not to find the place after being besieged." Allen said energetically, "Now that Storm City and the others have been defeated, both their morale and battle losses are the valleys of Storm City's military strength. We need to seize this opportunity to counterattack. If things go smoothly, it won't be long before we can have tea and chat in Maud's study."

Edward shook his head and said, "You're too easy to say."

"What do you think?"

"Obviously, it's not easy for us to defeat Storm City. How can we fight back now?" Edward spread out his hands and said, "Also, how much do you know about Storm City? Do you know their city structure, their defensive arrangements, or Maud's temperament?"

Alan asked him speechlessly. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "I don't know about this, but I just need to figure it out."

"No wonder Father Miro said that you are a wild boar. If you don't know anything, you'll be knocked into it. Be careful that you won't be able to counterattack and will be defeated." Edward smiled and said, "You'd better stay here and recuperate. I'm going to do some activities. First we need to get a map of Storm City and their manpower configuration. Then we'll see how we can recruit some adventurers as mercenaries. Finally, maybe we'll have a chance to take down Storm City."

"Sounds like a lot of things to do." Ellen leaned back in his chair and said, "Fortunately, you're helping me, Edward. You're a lot smarter than I am."

"That's for sure, but don't try to be lazy like that. Otherwise, I don't mind you plotting against me. I'll be the boss myself." Edward said half truthfully.

"You bastard!" Alan chuckled, not saying anything.

(Recently, Zongheng really pulled, uploading a chapter for a long time can't open, is this really good )
