Edge of the Apocalypse

The 3773rd Chapter Cleaning (1)

"Take it easy for me, you bastards, haven't you eaten yet? Work quickly, we must leave before dark, we still have a lot of things to take away."

"Bastard, be careful with those, do you want to blow me up to the sky?"

"Lu Qi, take those things. That's right, it's the box under your feet."

A strong man in his mid-fifties roared like a lion, and his voice echoed in the earthen huts. The air was so hot that even these shirtless men were slick with oil, but no one dared to stop. Because as soon as they stopped, a pair of beast-like gazes fell on them.

That strong man was almost a legend in the Blood Rock Wasteland, and Papa Dick's name had been circulating in the Wasteland for at least ten years. People living in this area can even use Dick's name to scare those crying little ghosts.

But now, this legend has begun to decline. Nothing lasts forever, and Dick is no exception. The wheels of the times rolled forward, and after the owner of Storm City was no longer Maude, Dick's era passed.

Even Dick himself was aware of this.

Dick wasn't young anymore. His once six-pack abs had accumulated layers of fat. His rough face was fringed with a gray beard, and his bare chest was covered with thick black hair. The red shirt was half open, and the corners of the shirt were tucked into a leather belt. Linen-colored loose trousers were tucked into tawny boots, and the iron covering the toes reflected a brilliant light in the sun.

But Dick's heart was not bright at all.

Maud was gone, and even the family was uprooted. The new city lord acted fiercely, and Dick knew that the other party would never tolerate someone like himself, so it was time to leave Blood Rock Heights. Fortunately, before that, he had already boarded the people of Black Iron Fort. Sir Sharon is willing to provide him with asylum on the condition that Dick must join the Black Iron Castle. And his lord would leave him a place in the army, one of his daughters was Maud's wife. When the Maude family was shot, Sharon's daughter was not spared either.

Dick knew that it would not be long before the army of Black Iron Fortress would march towards Storm City. And among them, there must be his share.

Used to living a free life on the Blood Rock Badlands, Dick knew very well that life as a human dog would not be easy. But now, the situation is out of his choice. It didn't take much consideration for Dick to make his own choice between violent confrontation and eventually being cleared like garbage from the blood rock wasteland; .

Just thinking that most of his savings for many years will fall into Sir Sharon's pocket, Dick feels a burst of heartache.

So he growled even louder, and almost whipped these clumsy men with his long whip to make them move a little faster.

When Dick was about to move his nest, an army was heading in this direction.

Allen raised his head, and the sunlight on the blood rock wasteland was extraordinarily bright and dazzling, making the wasteland look like a piece of hot iron. Hot air continued to rise from the surface, distorting things in the distance like water vapor. He glanced back, gestured, and the procession moved on.

The information Roger provided him was very comprehensive, including the location of Dick's lair, the number of bandits, and a few people who needed attention. Dick's group of thieves has been hiding in a mountainous area in the Blood Rock Wasteland. There is a natural lake behind this small mountainous area. But in a year, only spring and autumn are rich in water. In the remaining two seasons, the amount of water is scarce. Especially in winter, the surface of the lake often freezes, and it is obviously not a good idea to dig into the ice to melt the water. Therefore, in winter, Dick buys more water from Storm City.

Dick's stronghold has three hundred bandits for driving all year round, and there are three captains under him. One of them, Hank, has been lost in Alan's hands, and now the remaining two captains are Salamander Jed and Clown Benlai. They can be called Dick's right-hand man, regardless of force or function, they are above Hank.

As for Dick himself, he is a 17th-level knight who uses the giant ax "Brutal Beheader". It was a terrifying weapon with an ax whose surface was almost like a round table. Of course, only a knight like Dick who tended to strength could swing it.

All kinds of information flowed through Allen's heart like a stream of water, and he had already made complete arrangements for this operation.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and although the temperature was not the highest in the day, it was still uncomfortably hot in the checkpoint. A man in charge of sentry simply took off his shirt, and the sweat-soaked clothes could even wring out the sweat. He glanced at the mountain ahead as usual, and when he was about to hide in the shade of the checkpoint, he saw a knight at the end of his sight.

Then more knights gradually appeared on the mountain path leading to the stronghold. Behind the knights, there was a large group of walking soldiers. The man was startled and wanted to ring the alarm. When he turned around, a ghostly figure bumped into his eyes. Then his throat felt cold, and he hurriedly touched it, only to find that hot blood was flowing out continuously.

The strength in his whole body disappeared with the gushing of blood, and finally, he turned into a corpse on the ground.

Checkpoints like this are being removed one by one by the Dark Blade. When Belmode sent a signal, Allen knew that it was time to attack.

"Father, everything has been loaded into the carriage." A dark-skinned man with hair dyed plum red reported to Dick. His clothes are also brightly colored, with a large-caliber short-barreled fire/gun inserted on each side of his waist. Salamander Jed is a good gun-handler among bandits.

Dick said "hmm", and the one next to him sat on the chair with his legs crossed. The man with painted face put an ace of hearts on the table, and said in a low voice, "Is it really all in there? Could it be something that was already in some reptile's pocket?" ?”

It's Banley the Clown, and he's never gotten along with Jed. Jed said angrily: "Damn clown, what nonsense are you talking about, do you question my loyalty to my father?"

"You big reptile, your hands and feet are not clean. It's not a day or two. When did our brothers sacrifice their lives for the goods, and none of them fell into your pocket?" The clown shook his hands and slipped a piece of cloth from his exaggerated fluffy sleeves Zhang Spade K.

Salamander's hand was already on the short-barreled fire/gun at his waist, and the cold light of a dagger appeared in Banlai's cuff. The atmosphere seemed a bit tense, Dick slapped the table and hummed: "Stop arguing, you two bastards. What time is it now, do you still want to play infighting? Hurry up and prepare for me, tomorrow..."

Suddenly there was a gunshot outside the earthen hut, and Dick stood up immediately.

Jed let go of the gun grip on his waist and said, "I'll go and see."

As soon as he ran out of the earthen house, he saw a ball of fire exploded from the gate of the stronghold. In the flying flames, a human body was blasted into the air, rolling continuously, and it was not known whether it was alive or dead when it fell to the ground. Jed's face was gloomy, and Dick and Banlai got out of the room afterward, and their expressions changed drastically.

"What's going on!" Dick roared, "Where's the sentry man? Where did he die, and he didn't even know that someone touched the door of his house?"

Jed whistled and yelled, "Follow me brothers."

The bandits who were loading took up their weapons and rushed towards the gate after Jed. Suddenly there was another explosion, and through the flames and smoke, a knight passed through the flames. The knight was so young, his silver hair was burning like a flame, he held a long black knife in his hand, and casually chopped down two bandits who were about to meet the enemy.

Then one cavalryman after another came out of the flames, and one of the cavalrymen was holding a military flag high. Jed's pupils shrank, and he recognized that it was the symbol of the Thunder Knights.

"Damn it!" he couldn't help exclaiming. r1058
