Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 447: A New Battle

It had already been half an hour since he had sent the drinkers away. It was difficult for this man to be eloquent. He could tell that Carlo was interested in Allen's affairs. From the moment Allen had spoken to Sir Glenn at the banquet, he had talked about Allen leading his troops directly into Daniel's territory and attacking Sunset City overnight. After that, he did not forget to add his own views on the Sir, and the result was naturally that he was sent away by the impatient Carlo.

Carlo seemed to be in high spirits and ate several steaks in a row. It was not until the bowls were folded into five that he could be considered full of food and drink. He patted his stomach and scolded, "Damn it, this is the most satisfying meal I've eaten since the goddamn Naga got into the sea. Even though their food is terrible, forget it."

That day, when he met the Naga's underwater palace, Carlo's ship was sunk by the Naga's super sea demon, Mograine. When they landed in the water, other than a few experts, ordinary experts would not be able to defeat the Naga people if they landed in the water. Moreover, almost all of the Naga warriors who came out of the Seabed Palace were from royal families. Royal elites were no match for ordinary warriors. Even with Carlo's courage, he could only flee with the Blood Fang Knights and three to five trusted aides.

After escaping ashore by luck, Carlo went through Ark Harbor, clearly wanting to vent his anger on Alan. According to Carlo's logic, it was all thanks to Alan that he had encountered such bad luck. Now, not only did he not catch the Naga people, even the Wave Breaker had sunk. If he didn't capture Alan, he really couldn't figure out how to explain to his father.

Thus, regardless of the Blood Fang Knights' opposition, Carlo finally arrived at Ark Harbor.

Now that he knew where Alan was going, Carlo began to plan. "Young Master, since the other party is with the army, it's very difficult for us to do anything. In my opinion, we should return to Killer Whale Harbor first before making any plans. It's not Young Master's responsibility to lose this time. Lord Eric will not blame you."

"Shut up!" Carol glared at the knight angrily, "If I don't capture this Alan, my father won't be able to explain himself to the people above, understand? Not only will I have to let out a sigh of relief, but it's also my father's fault."

"If that's the case, we should go back and organize an army before we have a chance of winning."

"Go back. Do you know how long it will take to go back and forth? If that Alan leaves Ark Harbor by then, how can I get even with him?" Carlo snorted coldly, "And didn't you hear that just now? This foolish Count Orban only gave it to a miscellaneous soldier named Allen. Do you think a cannon fodder unit can scare me?"

The Bloodfang Knight tried his best to say, "Young Master, this is not a wise choice."

"Is that so? I think we can use this opportunity to give these nobles a head-on blow, so that they can know that although the power of Killer Whale Harbor can't reach this far, it is not something they can afford to offend!" Carlo slapped the table and said resolutely.

Seeing that he was determined to do so, the Bloodfang Knight could only sigh in his heart, but stopped advising. Despite their special status under Earl Eric's influence, they didn't have to be used as a tool for battle just like the other knights. However, now that he had spoken up to this point, he had already done his part. If he interfered with Carlo's decision, he would have crossed the wireless boundary as a subordinate.

It was also dusk, but Alan had no time for dinner. He had just returned from the barracks, and after gathering three hundred strong recruits, the barracks in Sunset City seemed to be a little crowded. If it was in the past, Roy or Broy could take charge of training the recruits, but now that neither of them was by his side, Alan could only be half an instructor.

After all, Bellmore was not the type of person to lead troops to battle. Regis was more inclined to use personal force, even though both of them had taught Dark Blade a lesson. However, it was a special unit. It was very different from training a regular army. Therefore, Allen could only go up on his own. Where he couldn't take care of it, the original officers of Sunset City would replace him.

Recruits cannot be trained in a short period of time. If they follow proper procedures, they will need at least three months of regular training. Allen didn't have much time to train these soldiers, so he simplified his saber technique into a few simple and vicious attacks and taught them. The officers were then asked to let the soldiers practice until their bodies remembered the movements.

Although Sunset City wasn't considered rich, because it had a few iron mines, there were some good weapons in the armory. For example, a batch of hand axes were extracted by Alan and distributed to the Mountain King Warriors. Each Mountain King warrior was given five of these axes, and Alan had Belmond teach them how to throw them. Belmond was very helpless. He was good at throwing throwing throwing knives, which was completely different from throwing axes.

However, he did not refuse Alan's request. After a day, Belmond himself took out a few axes and tried to figure out a few throwing movements. He then taught them to the Mountain King Warriors. After practicing, the Mountain King warriors were able to throw their axes in a straight line with maximum strength and speed. Within a distance of twenty meters, the axe could pierce through the armor.

Once it was used on a large scale, its power would naturally be extraordinary. As a result, the Mountain King Warriors also had the advantage of being able to suppress them from a distance. However, Alan didn't bring many Mountain King warriors, and people with exceptionally strong physiques like them weren't easily recruited. Therefore, Mountain King's Axe Rain Tactics could only partially suppress them.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Belmond handed over a piece of information to Alan. The information was gathered by Dark Blade. After receiving Sunset City, Dark Blade was sent out by Alan. They were responsible for penetrating a hundred kilometers into the territory and monitoring the movements of Dawn Castle. Now that Daniel's army was being held back by Ouban, if the Viscount wanted to attack Sunset City, then he could only use the Dawn Castle or the Bauhinia Army.

Amongst them, Dawn Castle was the closest to Sunset City, about a hundred kilometers away from the army within three days. Therefore, Allen focused on monitoring the movements of Dawn Castle, and Dark Blade did not disappoint his expectations. Soon, information was sent back.

Looking at the information, Alan said in a low voice, "We will have a war soon."

Belmond was not surprised at all, but Sir Thorman, who was beside him, frowned deeply. The thing that he least liked to see had happened. Even though it wasn't the Unicorn Legion, Tuomen still felt a little embarrassed when facing the army of Dawn Castle.

"Prepare the people below. This time, it's not Dawn Castle. It's Baron Bauhinia Oru's army." Putting down the information, Alan said.

"If they join forces, there will be at least two thousand people Even if we add in the new recruits, the number is still a disadvantage." Tuomen said with a grim expression.

"If it's just the number of people, it's not like there's no way." Alan looked at the baron and said, "I've read about Sunset City before. There are hundreds of laborers in Sunset City in Cloud Valley. If we count them in, we are no weaker than the two allied forces."

"Lord Allen is going to use his coolies as well. This, this is a bit of a militarism," Tomen said in surprise.

Alan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Sir Thorman. I'm not so dizzy as to think that hundreds of coolies can fight against the regular army. I just need them to gather up numbers and put on airs. As for the rest, I have other plans."

"How about this, you go to Cloud Valley immediately and bring the coolies over. Tell them that as long as they fight for me, they will be free."

"Freedom" Tuomen smiled bitterly. "My lord, if we don't have coolies, how can we maintain our work in the mine?"

"Mine work is also a matter of later, first we have to pass this hurdle before we can talk. Believe me, Sir Thoman, this is our first hurdle. If he managed to survive, it would be easy in the future. As for the mines, coolies could be bought after the battle was over. If not, I think there will be people who will be happy to take up the job if we hand over the job opportunities to the citizens and raise the wages appropriately. Of course, our returns will have to be relatively low. "

Alan waved his hand and said, "Alright, do as I say. As for the rest, leave it to me."

Tuomen was not good at fighting, so he could only do as Alan said. After Thorman left, Belmond rubbed his fists and said, "Boss, according to your style, you can't let the enemy swagger to our gates."

"Of course, arriving at Sunset City as well. An exhausted division is easier to deal with than an army with high ambitions, right?" Alan smiled faintly and said, "Go get Regis and the others, and bring out a troop from each of us and Sunset City. It's time to play hide-and-seek."

"That sounds interesting." Belmond chuckled.

Outside Dawn Castle, a temporary camp was built. The many flags planted on the camp did not belong to Lafus. It was Bauhinia's army. Oru brought his army as promised. This 800-man army was mainly composed of cavalry and infantry. This was also a common arrangement in the private armies of nobles. However, Oru had an additional heavy infantry of about fifty men. Those iron cans were the nightmares of the light cavalry. Their thick plate armor was able to withstand the attacks of swords, fire, and spears, while carrying a dragon spear that could be combined with them was a powerful weapon against cavalry.

Sir Oru's heavy infantry was originally built to imitate Daniel's unicorn knights, but with Oru's financial resources, he could not afford to raise a heavy cavalry. Therefore, he could only take a step back and equip a heavy infantry. These infantry were usually around level seven, and they were rare elites in the Jazz's army. Previously, when he attacked Storm City, Oru wasn't willing to take out this troop, but this time, he brought it with him, which showed that he had enough money.
