Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1174: Accidental Help

The voice of the messenger came from outside the door, "General Lord Alan, please go to the square." There was a hint of joy in the soldier's voice. It seemed that the reinforcements that came out of the woods were indeed reinforcements. However, according to what Salon had said, it was very difficult for the Imperial Army to send more troops over, so where did the reinforcements come from?

Alan simply replied, "I'll be right there." He put on his robe and took Red King out of the room.

It was still early, and the lead clouds in the sky were much thinner today, revealing a light blue sky. In the east, a ray of golden dawn light was slowly seeping over. However, the castle plaza was still dim. When Alan arrived, Salon was talking to the other two generals in the plaza. When he heard the footsteps, his eyes lit up again. He laughed loudly and said to Allen, "Earl Allen, we have reinforcements. Guess who they are."

Salon must be in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't be in the mood to joke. Alan shook his head honestly, and another voice said, "It's our Iron Spear Guard!"

Orlando strode over with his rifle in hand. This time, Jorah didn't follow him. The Iron Spear Son nodded to Alan and then said to Salon, "I just received a message from my father. He sent us two thousand Iron Spear Guards. That's our most elite army, General Salon. You have to take a good look. We lads are not the least bit inferior to the Imperial Army."

Salon smiled and said, "I had heard of the Iron Spear Guard's strength. Today, I finally have a chance to experience it. Let's go, everyone. Let's go greet those lovely people."

They left the plaza, rode across the main road in the middle of the lake, and stopped at the shore. At this moment, the morning light from the east had already flooded through the forest, casting a golden light at the exit. They shone under the gray armor, refracting dazzling rays of light. Alan rode his horse and saw from afar the elite army trained by Hoey walking through the woods towards them along the main road. The Iron Spear Guards were lined up in two rows. Their footsteps were neat. They were all wearing gray armor, carrying round shields and backpacks. On their waists were long sabers. However, the most striking thing was the spears they carried on their shoulders.

Every iron spear was pointed backwards, and even during the march, the slope of the spear was almost the same. Under the morning light, it was like a moving jungle of steel!

When they were about a hundred meters away from the shore, the ten Iron Spear Guards stopped and turned in the opposite direction at the same time. Then, they strode forward. After drawing a distance, they stopped, followed by the second column, the third column … The Iron Spear Guards spread out to the left and right, waiting for the last two rows of soldiers to stand in their predetermined positions. All of the Iron Spear Guards simultaneously turned around and faced the Great Lake, shouting in unison. The iron spear in their hands paused on the ground. The sounds of two thousand iron spears pausing at the same time converged into a loud sound that spread far away from the lake bank.

Such an imposing aura.

Salon secretly praised the elites of the Iron Spear Marquis. Just the quality of these soldiers was no less than that of the Bucks' soldiers. Only the elite Deer Legion of the Bucks would be able to defeat them steadily.

Only after the Iron Spear Guards had settled did the crowd see that there were others behind them. The first to take the lead was the gray-armored and gray-robed Hoey. The appearance of the battle armor worn by the Marquis of the Iron Spear at the end of a long time caused everyone to be shocked. Before Salon could say anything, Orlando quickly moved forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Hoey's horse, "Father, why are you here on your own?"

"What? You're the only one who can trap and kill enemies on the frontlines. You don't want me to have fun on the battlefield?" Hoey got off his horse and patted Orlando on the shoulder. "I've heard about what's going on here. I'm glad the unicorn collar is still missing. Orlando, you did a good job. I'm proud of you."

Orlando laughed and said, "If Lord Alan hadn't lent me quite a few experts, it would have been unknown whether we would have been able to defend our position yesterday."

Hoey rolled his eyes and smacked his lips, "Wasting my breath."

Then he greeted Salon and Alan, and the old Bucks general opened his arms to give Hoey a powerful hug. He was so much taller than the Marquis that he could hardly see Hoey in his embrace. '"How many years have it been since we last met, old friend?" Saron said in a low voice.

Hearing these words, people knew that the two old men had been close friends for many years. Not even Orlando knew about it, and he looked at the two old men in confusion. '"I haven't seen you since the day you insisted on staying in the Bucks. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed. Look, we're old men, but I'm going to have a grandson, and you're still a bachelor." Hoey clenched his fist and lightly hammered the general's chest.

'"What's wrong with being a bachelor? From what I can tell, you're a burden to your family. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to be a bullshit marquis and march with me and kill the outsiders?" Salon said with his eyes wide open.

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Hoey shook his head and laughed, "But I'm not here today. We still have a chance to fight side by side. You should be secretly having fun."

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to come here personally. Are you worried about your son?"

Hoey looked into the distance to the west and said solemnly, "A few days ago, Roderick Marshal sent someone to send me a message. It is said that one of the three superintendents will personally lead this front. That old fellow Roderick hopes that I can help the empire." I think I'm at my own door anyway, so I'm going to take this trip. Otherwise, if we lose this place, our Iron Spear Collar will eventually see the scene of the flames of war burning. "

"Grand Superintendent? Do you know who it is?" Saron asked.

"I don't know. I just hope it's not that guy Rabian. He has the lowest ranking amongst the three superintendents, but on the battlefield, his ability is the most troublesome." Hoey shook his head and smiled, "I forgot about His Highness."

"Which prince?" Saron was stunned.

"Nonsense, who else is in the south right now?" "Of course, His Highness Julian," said Hoey with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, a carriage came to a halt. The door of the carriage opened and Julian walked out of the carriage. The Iron Spear Guards on both sides immediately turned to the young prince and knelt on one knee. Salon and the other generals hurriedly stepped forward, and Alan followed suit. Everyone also bowed half-kneeling to Julian. Only Hoey had a special status and had to bow to Julian.

Julian smiled brightly and got everyone up. '"Your Highness, this is the front line. How can you appear here with your noble status? Please leave, or else if anything happens to you, the situation in the empire will be even more chaotic." Salon said in a low voice.

Before the prince could express his opinion, Hoey shook his head and said, "Salon has such a temper. Otherwise, he would have been a general for so many years. Old man, you deserve it."

Salon glared at Hoey with a bearded face, but he couldn't find a word to retaliate, so he could only sulk. Julian smiled and said, "General Salon, thank you for your concern." However, as the successor of the kingdom, how can I hide in a safe place and enjoy peace during the country war? If I do, father will not trust me with the throne. So if there's a war here, then I should be here. "Besides, Marquis Hoey is here, as well as Count Allen and the generals. If I still don't dare to come to the front, then I don't want the throne."

Hearing this, the generals nodded in their hearts, whether Julian was speaking from the bottom of their hearts or just on the surface. However, at the very least, he had personally arrived at the frontlines, and compared to the other prince who was still desperately consolidating his position in the imperial capital during the current country war, he was much inferior.

Saron sighed, "Since His Highness said so, I won't force it. However, Hoey still has to deal with the Grand Governor of Shadow Duchy. His Highness must remember to stay in a safe place so that this old fellow won't be incapable of taking good care of His Highness."

Hoey chuckled, "You don't have to worry about that. Naturally, someone will go and greet the Great Superintendent of the Outsiders. Besides, I didn't say that I would personally deal with the top experts of the Outsiders. I'm old, so it's better for the young to fight to the death."

Julian also smiled and agreed, "The Marquis is right. With that person here, Sir Hoey may not be on the field."

Saron said discontentedly, "Tell me who it is. I'll make the adjustments early."

Hoey shrugged. Julian and the others moved aside, and a skinny figure appeared in Salon's eyes. The man's long silver hair reflected a dazzling light in the morning light, and he could hardly see his appearance clearly. It wasn't until he took a few steps forward that he could clearly see his appearance, but everyone, including Alan, cried out in alarm. This person shouldn't be here. After all, he had helped Mason betray the empire. Now that he appeared at the southern frontline, it was dazzling to look at.

One of the Ten Saints, Midian, the man known as the Twilight Prayer, nodded gently to the crowd and said, "Don't be surprised, regardless of my previous position, I am first and foremost a human." I also have my own relatives and clans. I also don't want to see them fall into the flames of war of other races. My mood is the same as yours. Of course, if you want to pursue the matter from before, then I have nothing to say. "

Alan glanced at Julian, who understood what he meant. He smiled and shook his head, saying on behalf of Midian, "Two days ago, when this lord appeared before me, I was as surprised as everyone else, and I couldn't believe my eyes." However, I can see his determination in Lord Median's eyes, and I believe that he will fight with all his heart as an imperial citizen. As for what happened earlier, I think I can press it for now. Besides, he also brought news of Mason … Mr. Mason. "

"Mason knew that he had stabbed a Trichosanthes seed," said Midian. "If he hadn't gone his own way, the empire wouldn't be in this situation now. He wanted to help, but now his wife was on the verge of death. Mason planned to spend the last few days with his wife and see what he could do to help. "In the worst case scenario, he can prove to everyone that Hawson is not qualified to sit on that throne!"
