Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 310 Suer City (Part 1)

"Caesar!"

The sound of Baku sounded in the cottage in the morning, Caesar frowned, and walked out of the wooden house with a crystal spear in his hand. His wooden house was built on a high stone, and a wooden railing was built outside along the edge of the big stone. Caesar leaned on the wooden railing and looked at Baku below.

Baku shouted: "I have discussed with my brothers, we must return the color to the city of Sur. Caesar, we must fight!"

Caesar sighed inwardly, and beckoned, "Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Baku went up and got into the house with Caesar. In the house, the sunlight outside the window just cast on the bones of the Baimeng ancestors, which were their holy objects. Baku fell to the ground, prostrated himself to the holy object, and then stood up.

"Baku, I understand your feelings. But doing so is not good for us." Caesar said.

Baku's chest heaved: "Is it beneficial to stay here all the time? It will only make the people of Suer look down on us, and they will think that Baimeng people are cowards who can be bullied at will!"

"But that would only lead to war, real war."

"Didn't they start a war two years ago? Caesar, the war started two years ago. Don't you want to avenge your son? Or, these two years have made you weak?"

Caesar walked over, his eyes gradually became sharper: "Are you questioning me? Questioning the leader of this tribe? Baku, who gave you such power!"

The crystal spear landed heavily, with a muffled bang, which made Baku's heart skip a beat. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Baku will never doubt you, my leader."

Caesar sighed and put his hand on Baku's shoulder. Their foreheads touched each other lightly, and Caesar said: "I am like you, Baku. My heart is also full of anger and sadness. I can't forget the image of Gemma lying in my hands and closing her eyes. Yes, I You can see that image almost every night."

"But hatred can't change the facts. More importantly, hatred will drag our people into hell. For your anger, do we have to drag the whole family to be buried with us? I can't do it, brother."

Letting go of Baku, Caesar shook his head and said, "So, don't think about it anymore, can you promise me?"

Baku lowered his head: "Okay, I promise you."

Leaving the wooden house, Baku came to a room with animal skulls hanging on it. He pushed the door open, this is his house. Two years ago, there was his joy and happiness in this house.

Two years later, there is nothing but sadness and endless resentment. There were four or five people in the room who were waiting for his news. When they saw Baku coming in, they stood up suddenly.

Baku shook his head and said, "Caesar is no longer the same Caesar he used to be. He has become weak and has no fighting spirit. He refuses to fight, but I can't do nothing. Sooner or later, the army from Sur City will come, and only those who kill them The city lord can end all of this."

He lowered his voice and shouted: "Who wants to go with me! To avenge those bastards who killed our family! Even if the road ahead is hell, I will embrace it willingly!"

Several men nodded solemnly, so a group of people left the village quietly this morning.

The next morning after Baku and others left, Allen also set off from the camp, preparing to go to Sur City. In addition to Belmode, Willick and Edward, he went with him, and there was a magician Jim in the team. Father Miro had already done the necessary treatment for Jim's injured arm, but the priest's first aid homework in the field was obviously not enough, which made Jim's strong arm bound by sterile bandages look like a bloated hoof.

Allen and the others changed into clothes they looted from the adventurer to conceal their identities. Of course, in order to make the clothes fit snugly, it took Lucy and Adele a day to get on the girls, otherwise Alan and the others could have set off yesterday.

From Jim's mouth, I learned that the relatively developed industry in Sur City is the cotton spinning industry. Farmers grow cotton outside the city, and after the harvest is handed over to the handicraft workshops in the city for processing, the cotton cloth is finally woven and shipped to other cities for sale. This is one of the main industries in Sur City. Edward suggested bringing their clothing materials and pretending to be a cotton merchant from afar. This is a good entry point.

The only one who knows their identities is Jim, but judging by the way he looks at Alan and Belmode, the chance of this magician betraying them is almost zero.

Jim is familiar with the Aspen Mountains, and it seems that they have already done enough work before attacking the Baimon stronghold. At noon they rested by the river, and Jim sat alone, putting the bread into his mouth with his other hand which was still working.

"Want water?" Allen handed over a kettle.

Jim hesitated a little before taking it. Allen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Jim, follow me well. Soon you will know that you have made a very wise choice. I will give you wealth that you could not have imagined when you were an adventurer, provided that your loyalty."

The magician immediately jumped up, stretched out his fist and put it on his chest. He bowed and said, "Jim is willing to serve you forever, my young master."

"So, who is your master?" Allen asked.

Jim rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Allen, who inherited a textile empire and came from afar, isn't he?"

"That's right, that's it. We'll have some factories then, I thought, and you'd be willing to run them for me?"

Jim's potential in source power is limited, and it is already the limit for such a person to grow to level 15. This can be seen from the fact that he is almost thirty, yet he hasn't even broken through level 11. Rather than let him be a half-baked combatant, let him manage a local business for himself in the future. For a native-born local, this is a job that is more suitable for Jim.

After seeing Allen's well-equipped guards and all the awe-inspiring "knights", Jim knew very well that his talent in magic was of no value to Allen. Listening to Allen's prompt now, he immediately and cleverly agreed.

Jim has unlimited expectations for this young master, the main reason being the starship he has never seen before, which makes him believe that Allen has unlimited potential. At least, much stronger than his boss who was killed.

The leaves of the forest suddenly shook, and it was obvious that someone was approaching. Allen made a gesture, and everyone gathered. Suddenly a figure appeared from the other side of the river, led by Caesar. Caesar was startled when he saw Allen, and said, "My friends, why are you dressed like this?"

"Brave Caesar, we are going to the city of Sur." Alan smiled.

Caesar said vigilantly, "What are you going to do in Sur?"

"Don't worry, we won't betray the friends of the Baimon people. It's just that we are also merchants. Obviously, we can't do any business in the Aspen Mountains." Allen said.

Caesar had no doubts about this statement. Seeing that the suspicious light in his eyes dissipated, Allen asked, "It's you, why did you come here? It's a bit far from the stockade."

"We are going to the city of Suer." Caesar said, "Baku and the others left yesterday. Some people say that they are going to the city of Suer. Caesar has to stop them from bringing disaster to the village."

Aide'er frowned slightly: "You are only leaving now, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. And if you show up again, it will only deepen the misunderstanding."

Caesar sighed: "I know it too, but I have to do it."

Allen said: "Well, we have to go to Sur City anyway. If we see Baku, we will persuade him to come back."

"In this case..." Caesar threw the crystal spear in his hand vigorously, and the crystal spear fell to Alan's feet. He said, "Please take it, and if Baku refuses to come back, show him this thing .”

Allen knew that this should be a token, he nodded and put away the spear: "I will return it to you along with Baku."

"Thank you, friends."

Glancing deeply at Allen, Caesar led his tribe back the same way.

At dusk, on a high slope, Baku can be seen as far as the eye can see. Not far down the slope, you can see a patch of tall and low buildings, that is Suer City. Strictly speaking, the size of Sur City can only be regarded as a town. It's just that Baron York, the owner of the city, was so overjoyed that he didn't want to admit that his territory was just a big town, so he changed his name to a city.

The city of Sur is protected by a ring of guard walls that are not tight enough. The buildings in the city cannot be considered planned, so the streets are twisted and twisted from a distance. Except for a stone brick road leading from the outside of the city to the City Lord's Mansion, which looks relatively regular, there is no other place in the city that can be called a road. This is also the main road of Sur City, and there are mostly workshops and shops on both sides of the main road. The merchants and powerful people in the city are all concentrated on this main road, so it is also the most prosperous area in the city.

As night fell, the lights on both sides of the main road were bright, and the area on the edge of the city was pitch black, which was the poor area of ​​the city. The people there still don't have access to such luxuries as electric lights. Of course, the city lord's mansion with the brightest lights is a three-story building, a bit like a small castle, with a main building, wing towers on both sides, and a small square surrounded by a low wall.

Baron York lives in the City Lord's Mansion, which is also Baku's goal tonight. Baku pointed towards the target, and the first five Baimeng people nodded their heads, and then a group of six people went down the hillside and headed towards the city of Suer in the dark. It's a pity that their assassination didn't seem to be going well. It didn't take long before the sound of weapons clashing was heard near the city wall, mixed with shouts of soldiers.

When a team of knight guards in fresh clothes and angry horses rushed to the scene, Baku and others were all captured. They were taken away by the city defense team and thrown in prison to await trial. Their results are almost predictable. If they are not declared to be executed, they will be taken as slaves to work in the mining area until they die.
