Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1012: Eldest Young Miss

The night was dyed in the forest, and the world was shrouded in darkness. Under the cold moonlight, one could see that some of the glowing plants in the forest began to emit various colors of light. Looking down from the sky, the forest was not completely dark. Instead, it was dyed with cyan, red, purple, and green fluorescence. Of course, the most dazzling light was still the fire in the caravan camp. The bonfires were raging and almost dyed the sky red. The beasts of this world were not afraid of flames and light. On the contrary, too bright flames would attract the attention of some wild beasts. Anyone who walks in the wilderness for years knows that if they don't have enough strength to protect themselves, then it's best not to start a fire at night. If they wanted to start a fire, they had to find a more hidden place in the cave, afraid of attracting the attention of dangerous beasts.

At this moment, in the dense forest far away from the camp, there were a few eyes with different colors. They wandered around the mountain like ghosts. Occasionally, they would stop and look at the flames in the direction of the camp. However, there were many wild beasts circling around the camp, but none of them dared to pounce on it. Animal instincts allowed them to sense danger, especially in the eyes of some beasts that were particularly sensitive to Origin Energy. They could clearly see countless sparks flickering in the camp.

Those sparks seemed weak, but they gave the vicious beasts a dangerous feeling that they could start a prairie fire at any time. Therefore, these smart fellows would only take a few glances and obediently detour. Because they knew that there was someone in the camp that they couldn't afford to offend.

Alan circled around the camp and returned to the campfire. He released a bit of his aura along the way, enough to scare away the wild beasts in the night. This method is very common when living with a pack of wolves. Snow wolves patrol their territory. The difference was that they left behind their own scent.

The wild boar had been roasted, and Fares and Rick were using their long knives to cut off the roast meat and divide it among themselves. The wild boar in the mountain forest was not small, but a hundred people had been divided up in an instant. Even Allen had only been divided into a few pieces, no more than an ordinary warrior. The wild boar meat was roasted until it was charred and tender. It continuously dripped oil and emitted an alluring fragrance of meat. Just as Alan was about to eat his fill, his eyes darkened, and someone blocked the fire and stood in front of him.

His gaze landed on his two long, straight legs. As he raised his gaze, he saw his perfectly curved waist. Then there was a pair of tall peaks, and then there was Elise's angry face. She threw the plate of barbecue under Ellen's feet and shouted, "What is this?" Wild boar meat? Only cheap people eat! I've had enough. You've stayed in that damn dark place for so many days, so forget it. Now, give me this kind of hard-to-swallow food! This is an insult to me. Listen. I want bread, milk, jam, and fruit and vegetables in the car. I don't ask for a sumptuous dinner, but at the very least, give me something to eat! "

It was only when he saw Elyse that Alan remembered this person. After entering the Land of Darkness, Elyse, Edward and the others stayed together in the stockade of the Dark Spear. Afterwards, Alan arranged to fight Joey, took over Zhan Lang and Black Feather, and gathered a pack of bandits, almost without stopping to deal with one thing after another. He forgot about Elyse. Now that this arrogant woman was standing in front of him again, he remembered that he had promised to escort Elyse to Sardinia.

Elyse's background as a proud woman was definitely not simple, as could be seen from the fact that she could be regarded as an honored guest by Horn. However, what she did now was no longer pride, but arrogance. Alan's face sank, and his eyes became a little cold. He slowly tore off the barbecue on the plate and slowly put it into his mouth to chew. His eyes stared at Elyse, causing flames to rise in the woman's eyes.

Her chest rose and fell sharply. To be honest, this scene was very attractive, but now, no one at the fire wanted to enjoy it. Everyone could tell that a storm was brewing. The men were silently eating the barbecue on their plates. No one was so stupid that they bumped into the storm. Elyse's eyes almost burst out with fire. From childhood until now, no one had dared to contradict her like Alan, and even embarrassed her in public. Almost instinctively, she wiped her hand on her waist, and the red whip tied to her waist swept away the plate in Alan's hand. Alan snorted and reached out to grab the whip.

Elyse pulled back, but the red whip remained motionless in Alan's hand, only collapsing straight. "What do you mean?" She said angrily.

Ellen said coldly, "I should be asking you that, Miss Elyse." He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I don't care who you are or what kind of status you have." But now that you're in my caravan, you'll have to follow my rules. If I give you roast meat, you won't eat it. It doesn't matter. As long as you're hungry, no one will care if you eat those barbecues or not. But please respect others. Food that is difficult for you to swallow may be food for others to live on. You can stop eating, but you can't spoil other people's food! "

Elyse's chest rose and fell even more.

"Also, hasn't anyone ever taught you that respecting others means respecting yourself?" Alan said before letting go of the whip. For someone like Elyse, these words were even more painful than hacking her a few times.

Sure enough, Elyse was like an angry lioness. '"Don't be so righteous," she shouted, taking out a purse from her clothes and tossing it under Allen's feet. "I'm just not going to eat you wild boars. Bring me what I want. The money is yours. If it's not enough, I have more here. What do you say?"

Ellen shook his head and said, "No matter how much money you give me, you can't buy a piece of bread. At least, that's true with me."

"You!" Elyse was so angry that her entire body trembled. She even said a few "yes" and didn't even pick up the money bag. She turned around and left like this and went into her tent.

Alan snorted. It was not like he had never seen someone of high status before. Not to mention Lucy, who was Adahua Planet's imperial daughter, was noble enough. No matter how big Elyse was, he could be bigger than Lucy? He could tolerate a woman's pride, willfulness, and even occasional irrationality. However, if he was like Elyse, then he wouldn't have a good expression on his face.

Lucy shook her head and smiled, "You're making a big fuss."

"I'm just teaching her how to get along with people." Alan said disapprovingly, "We're still two days away from Sardinia. I can't stand it if you don't kill her."

Lucy tilted her head and said, "I don't think she's a bad person. It's just her temperament, or the environment in which she grew up. Miss Elyse taught Abel a few fighting moves in the Black Wood Forest a few days ago, and she didn't seem to be so arrogant at that time. It's just that it's true that she didn't have that much patience …"

The nearby Abel nodded. The youth rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Miss Elyse is not to blame for being impatient. I am rather stupid and can't remember so much at once."

Ellen sighed and said, "So it's my fault?"

'"Indeed, it's your fault. You're a man. Just let it go. She's a woman, after all, and you have to give her a step down, don't you? I would be angry if she was embarrassed in front of everyone." Lucy picked up the money bag on the floor and put it in Alan's hand. "Go and give her something to eat. Are you really going to starve her? It's not a gentleman's doing."

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll listen to you, Your Highness." Alan bowed exaggeratedly, picked up his purse and left.

He came to Elyse's tent and saw the woman sitting inside sulking in anger by the fire in the tent. Alan put the money bag and a few barbecue plates on the grass and said, "Here's the money and the barbecue. It's up to you whether you want to eat or not." It's just that I don't spit out a sentence. Miss Elyse, not everyone is as noble and well-clothed as you are. What I said just now was not casual, at least until I was ten years old. "A piece of roast meat that you don't like, but I can fight for it!"

The figure in the tent obviously swayed, and Alan left without waiting for her to answer.

A moment later, one hand reached out the tent. After retrieving the money bag, Elyse hesitated for a moment before reaching out to bring in the plate of roast meat. She put it in front of her nose and sniffed. Then, she tore off a small piece of meat and put it into her mouth to chew slowly.

The next day, the caravan pulled out and continued towards Sardinia. On this day, Elyse's face was still filled with pride, and he did not take the initiative to get close to anyone. However, she didn't lose her temper like last night. Lucy looked at him and smiled at Alan. "Look, the young miss has restrained her temper a lot."

Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever she wants, I'm fine when we get to Sardinia."

The caravan left the forest and turned into a relatively flat plain. In the evening, the caravan set up camp on a low slope to rest. After dinner, everyone went back to their tents to rest and recover their strength to continue their journey tomorrow. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Alan suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't hear anything unusual, but he had an intuition that something was going to happen.

Almost at the same time, Edward's voice sounded outside the tent, "Come on, we have guests."

Edward's tone was heavy, and it was obvious that he had come with ill intentions. Alan picked up Red King and got out of the tent. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Just now, a bronze blade from You Ge came to report that there is a horse caravan approaching us about a hundred miles to the northwest."

"Horse squad? This is not a business trip in the middle of the night."

Edward snorted, "Of course not. What have you seen a caravan rushing in the middle of the night? Besides, according to Copper Blade's report, all their horses are wrapped in cloth. Isn't that a typical bandit style? And they have a clear goal. They're coming straight at us. I've already sent Fares to prepare. It looks like it's going to be quite lively tonight."
