Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter Five Hundred and Twentieth Deep Into the Castle

"What's going on here? Is it an enemy? How could anyone dare to attack here!"

A slightly childish, sharp voice sounded like a child desperately trying to show the dignity of an adult. Hearing this voice, the old housekeeper felt a little headache. He turned around, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy came striding from the other side of the corridor. The boy's appearance is somewhat similar to Daniel's, but the outline is relatively softer. Especially the soft flaxen hair, which was gently attached to the boy's forehead, made him look a bit shy.

The young man held a long sword made of fine steel. This sword was well-made, and layers of dark lines like fish scales could be seen on the sword. It's just that the sword is too sharp, and that kind of sharpness is so incompatible with a young man with a weak appearance.

"Master Angte, you shouldn't be here." The old butler walked back and said, "Now there are foreign enemies invading, and the guards are fighting with each other. You should hide in your father's secret vault, which is the safest place in this castle. "

"No!" The young man said stubbornly, "I am Daniel's son. If my father is not around, I have the obligation to protect this castle."

He raised his sword and walked forward. The old butler grabbed his sleeve and said, "Master Angte, just because you are the son of an adult, you should hide even more. Your life is more meaningful than this castle."

"But I'm sixteen years old this year, and I'm already a man. I can't just hide when I encounter anything, I want to fight!" The boy took away the old housekeeper's hand and left persistently.

The old butler sighed, and suddenly felt a chill behind him. Looking back, two men stood behind him at some point, one fat and the other thin, they complemented each other quite nicely. The thin man wore light leather armor, while the fat man wore heavy board coat. They all wear an iron mask on their faces. There is no decoration on the mask, only two deep eye sockets.

"You guys came at the right time, hurry up and follow the young master, remember to just protect him!" the housekeeper shouted.

The two nodded, and the thin man's figure flashed away, and his actions were silent. The fat man ran after Angte with big strides. As soon as he ran away, the whole corridor shook. They are the personal guards carefully cultivated by Daniel. When Daniel left, he deliberately left them behind in order to protect his son and the castle. Even the old housekeeper didn't know the names of these two people, but only knew that they both possessed 14th and 5th levels of origin power.

A fiery dragon-like flame rushed up from the ground, destroying several insidious traps on this passage. After the explosion, the passage was filled with astonishing heat waves, and Allen pulled out the heavy knife stuck in the ground. Pointing forward, a mixed team of Shanwang and Cunhuo rushed in immediately. Moments later, a fierce fight broke out around the corner of the passage.

The battle was in full swing in the castle, after Darkfire defeated the sentry on the wall and opened the city gate.

Allen rushed into the castle with the soldiers, but found that the battle was not as smooth as imagined. Although there are not many guards in Daniel's castle, they are all elite soldiers who are familiar with the terrain. At first they pretended to be invincible and retreated. Allen led the soldiers to chase after them, but led them into several passages full of traps, and injured many soldiers.

Allen put away his contempt, piled in a steady manner, and competed with the guards for every passage, corridor, and room of the castle, and forced them into the depths of the castle step by step. The deeper you go into the castle, the fewer traps and mechanisms there will be. After all, this is the living place of the people in the castle, so you can't walk in the passage full of traps in your daily life, right?

Although during this period, the guards in the castle wanted to induce Allen and the others to disperse them many times, so that they could use the complex ending of the castle to divide and strangle the invaders. The passages in the castle are complex and narrow, and it is difficult to accommodate a large number of people and horses to pass through quickly. This is also the design that can be used to limit the number of enemy soldiers when the enemy invades. It's a pity that Allen is not a person who plays cards according to routines. In the face of complicated branches, he adopts the simplest and most brutal approach.

After determining the direction of attack, Allen went straight forward. Encountered walls, rooms, or passages full of organs on the way, they were all violently demolished. Under his ability and the hammer of the mountain king warrior, these obstacles were eventually reduced to ruins. They made an artificial passage in the castle, pointing directly to the hinterland of the castle.

The deeper he went into the castle, the greater Alan's doubts became. It stands to reason that they have already made such a big commotion, even if Daniel slept like a dead pig, he would have to wake up this time. No matter how much Daniel maintains his identity, the castle has been demolished. If he was in the castle, he should show up and intercept him at this time. But so far, Allen has not encountered strong obstacles.

If so, it can only mean that Daniel is not in the castle. The viscount's whereabouts became a question in Alan's mind. Perhaps, he had already personally intercepted Oban. Just as Allen thought this way, suddenly a strong momentum erupted on a small platform in a castle in front of him. Allen raised his head, tiptoed to the ground, and dragged Qian Jun quickly in that direction.

It was a flat and suspended platform in the castle. It was not big, and it could only accommodate a dozen people. Now, there are six Mountain King fighters joining forces to form a defensive line, desperately blocking a man's attack. The man was wearing the standard armor of the Unicorn Legion, but with a yellow feather on the helmet. That is a character at the level of an officer. He has a solid source of strength, and he also looks like a fifteenth or sixteenth rank. A giant sword in his hand radiated a faint yellowish flame, like a bright flame wrapped around the giant sword, constantly impacting the mountain king's line of defense.

The Mountain King warrior was still unable to withstand the violent attack of this series of powerful men. When the officer raised his huge sword, the shields of the two warriors flew away. With another sweep, the soldier immediately fell with blood. A huge wound appeared in their abdomen, bleeding profusely, and it seemed that they could not survive. Every Mountain King fighter is a valuable combat power to Allen. Seeing his fighter being killed, Allen's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The officer dragged his sword back and couldn't help cursing secretly. The intruders in front of them are only about seven or eight levels of source power, but they are good at the technique of joint attack, especially after taking a defensive position, it is almost difficult to find a loophole. It took a lot of effort even for him to kill two of them. It can be seen that these soldiers are not capable of being dealt with by ordinary soldiers from our own side. I really don't know where these surprisingly hard-handed guys came from.

At this moment, a flame-like breath enveloped the sky, and that brilliant power pressed down with a domineering intent like fire and flames. The officer seemed to hear his whole body moaning, but under the pressure of the opponent's power, he felt powerless and frustrated. He shook his spirits, stopped drinking, raised his head and struck out with a sword. But he saw a jet of black electricity shooting down from his head, preferably at the tip of his giant sword.

The officer kept trembling and bouncing like an electric shock, and the man couldn't help but backed away. Then a figure flashed in front of him, and a silver-haired boy rushed towards him dragging a black strange knife. The next moment, the boy's figure was already submerged by the flying black sword shadow.

The sound of clanging clashes was endless, and a series of knives finally merged into a deafening explosion. Everyone on the platform felt that the world in their eyes flickered slightly, and when they came back to their senses, everyone had already fallen to the ground. Looking at the field again, the giant sword in the officer's hand was shattered inch by inch. Allen leaned forward with a long knife, and patted the officer on the shoulder lightly. However, the officer felt as if he had been stepped on by an ancient giant elephant. The armor on his shoulders shattered, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees.

Allen looked at him and said, "You killed a few of me. If you surrender, I will let you make up for your mistakes."

The officer was also a tough guy. He laughed a few times and spit on Allen: "Stop talking nonsense, I am not a softie who surrendered to the seller!"

Allen didn't move away, and let the phlegm fall on his body, surprise flashed in the officer's eyes. Allen nodded: "Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Qian Jun touched his chest, and the officer opened his eyes. He opened his mouth, but instead of spitting out blood, an orange flame sprang out from his mouth. Then the body swayed and fell to the ground, with blue smoke billowing from the whole body. Allen shook the heavy knife in his hand, and a wave of heat rose from his feet and swept across his body suddenly. The phlegm that the officer spit on him disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared before.

He stepped over the corpse and continued deeper, knife in hand.

Over time, fighting gradually seeped into other corners of the fort. At the time of Dongfang Lubai, the battlefield had already advanced to the interior of the castle, and the resistance was getting weaker and weaker. At least in the previous half an hour, Allen had no chance to make a move. He randomly turned into a room, which should be Daniel's study. The room was elegantly furnished, and on the wall behind the chair was a portrait of a woman.

The woman in the portrait is gentle and beautiful, but I don't know who she is from Daniel. Look at a row of bookshelves next to it. In addition to common military works, there are also books on management. Alan even found two love novels, but these two novels have been covered with dust, and it seems that Daniel has not touched them for a long time.

At this time, there was a soft sound in the room, and the sound came from under the desk. When Allen looked, he just saw the corner of his clothes shrunk under the desk. He shook his head, walked over, tapped the table with Qian Jun and said, "Come out, if you don't want to die."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" A man came out from under the table in embarrassment, raised his hands high and said, "My lord, spare me, the younger one is just a handyman working in the castle, please let me go."

Allen glanced at him. The clothes on this man were exquisite, not like the clothes worn by a handyman, and he said immediately: "If you don't lie to me, I plan to let you go. Now... you better tell me you Who is it? I don't believe it, any handyman here has the guts to sneak into the Viscount's study, not to mention the clothes you are wearing... Hey, are all the servants in the Viscount's castle dressed so luxuriously?"

The man finally said with a sad face: "My lord is wise, I really can't hide it from my lord. My name is Walls, and I'm Daniel's cousin. But I'm just a small role, and I'm just in charge of some clerical work in the castle."

"Oh, Lord Viscount's cousin, so you are still a big man." Allen looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I think Viscount Daniel will be willing to pay a big price to redeem you, right?"

"What? No, no, no, I'm really just a small person, and adults only want it for money. I know where the viscount's secret vault is, and I'll take you there. There are many treasures collected by Daniel. I just ask adults to let go, if Your Excellency will reward me with some more words. Hey, that would be great." He smiled dryly, with a look of greed on his face.

Allen nodded and said, "Okay, take me to the secret library. Of course, the benefits are indispensable, but you are not afraid of being punished by the Viscount afterwards?"

"Of course I took my things and left. To be honest, don't think my brother is a knight. But he is too picky. My annual salary is less than a hundred gold coins. I don't want to do it for a long time!" Walls piled laughed.

But at this moment, the study was kicked open. At first, a young man came in with a sword: "Who is so bold, dare to break into my father's study."

Seeing Walls, he said "Huh" again: "Uncle Walls, why are you here?"

There are two guards following the young man, one fat and one thin, each with their own characteristics. These two people have very different auras, not like ordinary guards, but like elite forces carefully cultivated by Daniel, Alan secretly paid attention to them. When Walls saw the young man, he changed his face as if turning the pages of a book: "Ante! My good nephew, Ante, come quickly, let the two guards behind you take this damned, dirty intruder immediately Put to death!"

Allen glanced at him with a half-smile, Walls shuddered, and immediately backed away. Allen looked back at the young man: "So you are the son of the Viscount, Master Angte? Well, young master, I don't want to hurt you, if you are obedient."

"Fart, why are you two still standing there, take this intruder down!" Unter yelled, and two guards behind him passed by and forced towards Allen.

when!

The fat man carried a large shield and a mace, and he tapped the shield with an iron rod full of thorns, making a heavy knocking sound to attract Alan's attention. At the moment when Allen was so distracted, the thin man had disappeared in place. He bullied Alan at a high speed in the blink of an eye, and then slidably turned to the blind corner of Alan's side vision. A pair of short knives slid out of his cuffs and stabbed at Alan's waist without making a sound.

The cooperation between these two people can be said to be perfect, and the fat man attacked head-on, attracting attention. The thin man took the opportunity to get close and set up a killer. It's a pity that Allen has already passed the stage of capturing the enemy's movements with the naked eye. Since Angte entered the house, he has dispersed his energy to form a three-dimensional sensing space. Although he couldn't see the thin man's movements clearly, the source force fluctuation left by the thin man when he moved was the clearest clue.

So when the thin man saw that the two short knives were about to stab Alan's waist, he suddenly noticed a bright red light under his feet. It turned out that a circular light spot appeared on the carpet next to myself and Allen at some point, and the explosive source power in it was about to erupt like a volcano. The thin man only had time to let out a scream, and his eyes were immediately filled with flames rushing from the ground!
