Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirteen Insufficient Hearts

Angte was in a drowsy sleep, and suddenly a piece of cold material slipped from his collar, which made him wake up immediately. ┠.〈〔. The c﹝o{m boy almost jumped out of the bed, shaking his body, shaking out the snow powder inside. Allen smiled beside him, and Ante said angrily, "What are you doing!"

"You man, be calm about everything. I kindly wake you up, don't wait for a while to step on the camp and trample you into a meat paste. You kid, are you blaming me in turn?"

Only then did Unte hear the cooling of the figure outside the tent, and a faint exclamation came from him. He snorted and said, "Then you wake me up, why freeze me with snow!"

"Fun." Allen gave him an annoying answer, glanced at Belmode, and the two got out of the tent. Angte gritted his teeth, picked up a refined saber that he carried with him, and followed him out of the tent.

The tent is brightly lit.

Fires had been lit in several snow fields, illuminating the camp. The people of the caravan were left behind, while the people of the mercenary group in front were swarming back and forth, as if they were facing an enemy.

Allen found an inconspicuous place, put his hands on the red king's pillar on the snow, and said to Belmode: "What do you think?"

Belmode's ears twitched: "There are a lot of people."

"Well, there are at least fifty riders. The bandit group in Juying Heights doesn't have so many people, let alone fifty war horses. Or is it that winter is coming, and the bandits are starting to form groups?"

Angt rolled his eyes at the man beside him: "The joke is so cold."

Allen smiled, looking like he was watching a show.

Belmode still couldn't help asking: "Will you make a move later?"

"If you can't do it, don't do it. Don't forget our current identities. It was two poor young masters who abducted a strong guard, and took the hand letter of the great merchant Roger to borrow this caravan to go to the mountain city to find relatives and visitors. The caravan hired Chidori mercenary group as guards, and we also paid a share of the guards’ money, so we should let them do their best. ═┝┟╞.}Take money for nothing, how can it happen? "

Belmode shrugged his shoulders: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

They were chatting and laughing, but it was not so easy for the mercenary group. Wach stood alone outside the camp, his hand resting on the big sword on the horse's back. This Luoyan has been with him for so many years, and he has never been willing to change it. Originally thinking about taking this trip again, he put Luo Yan on the shelf, and he can retire. I didn't expect this very ordinary escort mission to have a vague sense of crisis tonight.

Dalang went to reconnaissance and has not returned yet.

But Wach's experience told him that there were quite a few opponents.

Dalang came back after a while, and said in a deep voice, "There are at least fifty riders."

"Fifty cavalry?" Wach squinted his eyes: "All cavalry?"

"Yes, they will arrive in three minutes at most."

"See which bandit group it is?"

"I can't see clearly, the other party doesn't have any logo."

"This is troublesome." Woqi knew very well that the cavalry's high impact was terrible, that is, a torrent of steel. Although the Chidori mercenary regiment had 20 spearmen who specialized in dealing with the cavalry, this number was probably enough to block the next wave of attack. It's no wonder that Woqi was not prepared enough. After all, no one knew that a bandit group of fifty riders suddenly popped up on Jueying Heights.

"Head, that Mr. Saga has a strong man in his hands." Dalang reminded: "Can I ask him for help?"

Wach's eyes lit up, and he also knew the man in black. The other party has a calm demeanor and is a person who has crossed the twentieth level. If he assists, as long as there are no strong experts within the fifty rides, it will be more than enough to deal with it. It's just that they are the guards of the two noble young masters, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to borrow them. Woqi frowned, and said to Dalang: "Go and try it, and remember to be sincere."

Darren nodded. ┡╪┢┢.?.

In the camp, the three of Allen simply found a short rock. The snow was swept away and a carpet was laid. Allen and Unter sat on it, and Belmode leaned against the stone. The three of them looked outside the camp from a distance, and Belmode, who had been listening with his eyes closed, raised his mouth: "The sound of horseshoes is mixed but not chaotic, and it is hidden in a line. This is not a skill that the bandit group can produce, it is clearly a trained team." cavalry squadron."

Allen nodded: "Dark Blade mentioned before that every once in a while, a squadron secretly leaves the city in the barracks. I don't know the motive, I only know that they will return in three days. When they come back, they will bring a lot of supplies. At first I thought Those are the supplies that Reckerd secretly purchased from other places, and now it seems that they are clearly the work of a family of officials and gangsters."

Angte's eyes widened from the side: "You mean, Reckerd's cavalry also acted as bandits? How is this possible? Isn't the duty of a knight to guard the territory and protect the people!"

"It would be great if Reckerd had your awareness, but unfortunately he is a greedy guy, and the knights under him may not all abide by the honor and creed of knights." The guy who is the biggest bandit leader is by no means Rekord. You have to be thankful that your father has held up a big umbrella for you, so that you can't see too many dirty things. But now, it's time for you to see clearly something."

Belmode suddenly said: "Dalang is coming towards us."

Angte was very hostile towards him: "What is he doing here!"

Allen patted Belmode on the shoulder and said, "What else can you do? Of course, I'm here to borrow our master."

Dalang separated from the crowd and came to the three of them. He glanced at the crowd around him, and then said to Allen: "Mr. Saga, according to our observation, it is very likely that we will be attacked by a cavalry of fifty men. The strength and number of this thieves group are beyond our expectations, and I am afraid it will cause serious damage to the caravan."

Dalang's words immediately caused commotion among the people in the nearby caravan, and they subconsciously approached him, wanting to know more information.

Unter frowned when he saw the crowd gathering. The boy felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Allen was expressionless, while Belmode smiled with his eyes closed, as if he had nothing to do with it.

Dalang narrowed his eyes, he had already thought about it when he came. If it's just a simple loan from Alan, I'm afraid the young master will not agree. But if the caravan is provoked and the interests of the caravan are the premise, under the pressure of everyone, these two young masters will have to borrow it if they don't. Da Lang asked himself if he had to sell this method of borrowing strength.

On the short rock, Allen said solemnly: "In that case, Chidori will have to protect us, Mr. Dalang, please do your best."

Ang Tetsu turned his face away, his body twitching slightly. He gritted his teeth tightly to keep himself from laughing. For the man next to me, it's a state of being able to pretend to be so natural.

Dalang snorted softly, but said with a smile on his face: "Our Chidori alone is still very reluctant, so I hope that Mr. Saga can let the guard beside you participate in the battle. If there is such a strong man as him to participate in the battle , everyone’s safety is guaranteed. Mr. Saga, what do you think?”

"Not bad." Allen refused flatly.

People looked at Alan and then at Dalang. The latter sighed, "Don't tell me Mr. Saga doesn't care about everyone's life or death?"

Allen laughed, patted Belmode and said: "This is a guard that my family paid a lot of money to get. In order for Mr. Belmode to protect us, some old people's affections were used. Then please Mr. Lang told me, why did I have to lend you the master guard I hired back at such a high price? I seem to have paid the guard money for Chidori when I joined the caravan, and collecting money is useless. , Chidori’s doing this is a bit self-deprecating.”

Dalang smiled and said, "It's not that Chidori doesn't do things, it's because he's incompetent, so I want to borrow someone from you."

"You are incompetent, so what does it matter to me?" Alan spread his hands and asked back.

Dalang looked at the people around him and said loudly, "But this is related to everyone's safety."

Allen asked with a smile: "If it were you, would you borrow someone?"

"I borrow it, it's my duty!" Dalang said righteously.

Allen said "Oh" and said, "I don't have Mr. Dalang's capacity. Besides, our brothers' lives are at stake, so I won't lend you this person."

Dalang was taken aback. He didn't expect that Alan would be tricked. This young nobleman still insisted on not borrowing anyone. Isn't he afraid of causing public anger? Sure enough, he didn't need to say anything, Alan's superior attitude had already angered the people in the caravan. They accused Alan of being unjust, disregarding the safety of everyone in the caravan, and some even spit at Alan. For a time, thousands of people have different expressions, all written on their faces.

Allen glanced at Belmode.

The latter raised his hand with a sneer, and a black fire suddenly lay between the people and the low stone. The tongue of fire flickered away, scaring back the men who were too impulsive to rush up to the low stone to find Allen's theory. Dalang's face was even more ugly. Although he simply showed his hand, he was once again jealous that there was such a master guard beside the two idiots. At this time, Allen stood up and smiled and said: "Mr. Dalan, if you don't go back, the bandits will attack. And you people, I don't care about your shit, I'm here to talk to me when I have time , why not go back and think about how to keep your property."

Dalang sighed and left silently. When the others saw him leave, no one dared to cross the black flame, so they could only disperse full of resentment. Allen just sat back, Angte was puzzled: "Why don't you lend him the person, you still need a guard?"

"Whether I need it or not is one thing, but whether I borrow it or not is another." Allen sat back and looked at the camp and said, "Also, I am playing the playboy Saga, not the lord Ai. Lun. You can learn a little bit about acting and doing a full set. Then there is Dalang. If this kid begged me sincerely, I would borrow it. But you saw, he also played moral games and wanted to borrow The momentum of the caravan people came to force me to submit. Playing tricks? It also depends on who is right. If you use it well, it will never hurt you. If you use it wrong, he doesn’t even know how to die.”

"Finally, people's hearts." Allen looked at Angte, smiled and said: "If I can borrow someone this time, I don't know what they plan to borrow from me next time. People's hearts are always insufficient. From this point of view, I and They are no different. The difference is that I know when to reach out and what to hold and what not to touch."

Unter thought about it.
