Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 509: In Front of the Formation

In the morning, the sky was still clear. By noon, the distant sky had already been covered in a haze. This haze gradually grew larger and larger. When the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine arrived at the preset location, the sky was already filled with dark clouds. The gray sky carried an extremely heavy oppressive feeling, as if the heavens were about to sink. The heavy pressure weighed heavily on the hearts of all the warriors. They claimed that the most elite troops in Ark Harbor were top-notch in terms of quality, equipment, and treatment.

Normally, he had received a lot of training in the military camp, but when it came to actual combat, there was a lack of opportunities. That was because Ou Ban cherished his feathers too much, coupled with the fact that the commander of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine was his younger sister, so most of the actual battles this army had participated in were battles that were certain to be victorious. But now, the last war awaited them. The opponent was not a pirate bandit, but Daniel's army, an elite unicorn army.

Even though the elite cavalry of this army had already been lost in the Blue Wilderness, it still possessed extraordinary combat strength. The warriors of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine did not have the confidence to win. Those hands holding weapons were no longer as stable as when they first left Ark Harbor.

This was the battlefield that Ruo La had chosen. The location of Bauhinia's main city was flat, and once it was besieged, it would only be a bitter battle. Therefore, Zora decided to take the initiative to attack. Although this was strongly opposed by Grar and some other officials, Zora used her identity and strength to withstand all these pressures. In the end, they ordered Bauhinia's own army to guard the city, while Deep Sea Scaled Concubine sent out all her troops to gather on this high slope, intending to decide the outcome with the Unicorn Legion.

Abel's breathing quickened slightly. This was also the first battle he had participated in. Before the battle, he desperately told himself that this would be a rare opportunity. He had to perform well. This way, not only would he be able to win military merits, he would also be able to win Ruola's favor. At this moment, his emotions were complicated, filled with excitement and fear of the unknown.

Ruo La grabbed the horse's abdomen and pulled on the reins, allowing the warhorses to walk back and forth in front of him. Her gaze swept across the nervous faces and shouted, "Warriors of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine, this is the first time we've participated in a great battle." I know that most of you are nervous and even scared. After all, my opponents used to be colleagues, equipment, or bandits. But today was different. The one coming from there later would be an elite army. Yes, a real army! "

"The opponents this time are different. They are strong and experienced. I'm just as nervous and scared as you are. But we're soldiers, warriors. Our mission is to defend our territory with life and blood! Some people say that the army is iron, war is fire. Only an army that had experienced the flames of war could be sharpened into steel. "Right now, the flames are right in front of us. I only want to ask you if you have the courage to join me and let the flames of war forge us into masters of steel!"

With surging emotions and excited words, Ruo La raised her sword high. At this moment, in the eyes of the warriors, they were like goddesses who ruled over war, driving away most of the fear and pressure in their hearts, while the flames buried in their hearts were ignited. The warriors' hands were still trembling, but there seemed to be a ball of flames exploding in their chests, causing them to roar angrily, "Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The murders were like a tide, and Ruo La was very satisfied with her mobilization before the war. She turned the horse around and looked at it with rapt attention. From the distance of the grass below the slope, a black dot appeared in the green forest. It was a knight riding on a pitch-black war horse. His black cloak was fluttering, and the scarlet red inside was churning like blood energy. Every dark red curve on the knight's body was dazzling. This was like a devil god from hell, pulling out his sword and swinging it forward.

Horses hissed and similarly pitch-black warhorses shot out of the forest. After a total of nine black-armored knights, they were the unicorn cavalry with snow-white armor and decorated with light golden curves. In the Blue Wilderness, after the 600 elite cavalry of the Unicorn Legion were beaten into pieces by Alan, the 300 cavalry were formed not long ago. However, both in terms of quality and tacit understanding, compared to the previous cavalry, it was more than one grade lower.

After the cavalry were the fire, spear, and infantry, the most numerous of the unicorns. With the ten Black-armored Knights as their sharpness, the soldiers who had rushed out of the forest rushed into the battlefield, forming a clanging iron curtain that rushed towards the high slope.

At this moment, a loud thunderclap sounded in the sky. The sky quickly darkened. When people's faces were lit up by lightning, it finally began to rain. The pea-sized rain ball smashed into the armor, making a tinkling sound. The rain lines falling from the sky cut the battlefield into countless pieces.

Rain poured down.

The unicorn army arrived five to six hundred meters down the slope. The leader of the black-armored knight raised his sword and ordered the army to stop. Then, he raised his head to reveal a middle-aged man's face. His gaze was even sharper than an eagle's. He swept across Ruo La's face and laughed heartily. The laughter was like thunder, overwhelming the thunder of the rain. "Is Count Ouban useless? He actually sent a woman. How disappointing!" He said.

As the deputy commander of the Deep Sea Scaled Beast, Abel rode his horse forward and said, "Rude! This is the Count's younger sister, Miss Jorah, who is also the commander of our Deep Sea Scaled Beast. On the other hand, it's you. How come I didn't know that there was someone like you in the Unicorn Legion? Could it be that Viscount Daniel has no one to use and wants to hire reinforcements from outside?"

His words could be counted as a color, but the black-armored knight's tone was calm. However, Abel tried his best to shout, not letting his voice be overwhelmed by the sound of the rain. In contrast, his aura was naturally three points weaker.

The enemy commander nodded and said, "So it's the Count's sister. Then why did Miss Ruola come here to get wet with us rascals instead of maintaining herself in the castle?"

"Because I am the commander of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine, I am here now!" "You haven't answered my adjutant's question yet."

Abel looked at Ruo La excitedly, thinking that Miss was still tightening her grip on me.

The Black Knight below grinned and said, "Although Miss is a lady, her aura is not much inferior to that of a man." My name is Hagrid. Since there is such a person as Miss here today, it is always not beautiful to see blood with a knife or a gun. How about this, both of you are the commanders of the two sides, so let's compete on this slope. "If Miss wins, we will immediately go back and never take another step into your realm."

"Oh, what if I lose?"

"Naturally, please return to Ark Harbor with the army, and do not interfere in the affairs of the Bauhinia."

Abel, who was standing beside him, said before Zora, "As the commander-in-chief, how can Miss Zora fight with anyone casually? Not to mention, you are an unknown person. If you want to fight, then let me be your opponent."

Ruo La thought to herself that this was not inappropriate. Just like Abel said, she was the commander-in-chief. Once he lost, it was very important. It would be better for Abel to rip apart Haggers' foundation first, so that he could make a decision for his next move.

Facing Abel's challenge, Hagrid's face was filled with disdain. He directly said, "Little fellows who haven't grown all their hair come out to fight. You don't have the right to speak here. Go home and drink milk."

The warrior behind him burst into laughter.

Abel's face flushed red as he shouted angrily and ran down the hill with his horse in his hand. The longsword pointed at Hagrid, and with the surge of Origin Energy, waves of killing intent rushed towards him. Haggers didn't make a move. A Dark Lightning Knight behind him rushed out and said, "Let this subordinate weigh the weight of their adjutant!"

The warhorse galloped. Abel borrowed his superiority and his momentum surged. He intended to kill this dark lightning knight on the spot, so that he could give the other party a dismount. He galloped down the slope and had the advantage of location. Adding on Abel's seventeenth level Origin Energy, he was able to suppress the thirteenth level Dark Lightning Knights. This thought was within his emotions.

Unexpectedly, at the bottom of the slope, the Dark Lightning Knight was about a hundred meters away from him. He suddenly reached out and touched a pitch-black axe hanging beside the horse. With a long howl, he raised his axe and threw it. The axe was poured with Origin Energy and emitted a blurry black light, smashing towards Abel like a black wheel. Abel was at a disadvantage because of his lack of experience. He was taken advantage of by the Dark Lightning Knights and immediately panicked.

Fortunately, his foundation was quite solid. He immediately pulled out his sword and knew that his strength would not be able to shake him. Using an exquisite sword technique, the tip of the sword that was infused with Origin Energy stabbed out a streak of azure light and pulled the spinning axe bit by bit. Then, it moved the axe away and swept past him. In the end, it smashed into the ground, blasting a shallow pit out of the ground. Just as Abel heaved a sigh of relief, the wind above his head whistled, but it was the Dark Thunder Knight who took advantage of his distraction to charge at full speed. After arriving a dozen meters away from him, he drew his sword and jumped up. He crossed the space and slashed down with a condescending sword.

The Dark Lightning Knight had a two-handed greatsword in his hand. The pitch black greatsword was like a large piece of black iron, and there was no extra decoration on its body. The Dark Lightning Knight's greatsword only had a few standards. It was sharp enough and heavy enough! This was a sharp weapon specially forged to kill enemies in war. Combined with the overbearing aura of the Dark Thunder Knight, the sword immediately dragged the black rainbow as if it wanted to cut Abel Lian's men and horses into two halves.

At this nervous moment, Abel roared like a spring thunder. The Origin Energy flames suddenly flourished. He stabbed his sword, but it came first. Knocking on the side of the opponent's greatsword, the Dark Lightning Knight's unparalleled momentum was deflected. The knight's sword slashed to the side of Abel's warhorse, and the sword's body pierced into the ground by three parts, releasing Origin Energy. He went out and flipped the entire plough over. Soon, smoke and dust flew about, and rubble splashed everywhere. Abel's horse stood up in shock, and he took the opportunity to fly off the horse. With a swing of his sword, the surrounding space was enveloped by an impervious sword curtain. Abel waved his sword curtain and pressed down on the Dark Thunder Knight.

The Dark Lightning Knight was not afraid at all. He pulled out his huge sword and smashed into Abel's sword screen like a pitch black meteoric iron. Immediately, the sound of metal colliding exploded.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them fought together. Sword winds overflowed everywhere, and origin energy collided with each other. The two of them were constantly flickering with sword lights and flames, causing both sides to be panting.

Ruo La was secretly shocked. Abel had clearly pointed at the advantage of the Origin Energy level, but he had only fought to a draw with a Level 13 Knight. The opponent's Origin Energy was indeed inferior to Abel's, but his experience was abundant, and his sharp eyesight was completely incomparable to Abel's. Moreover, this person must be used to the battle techniques of the battlefield. The giant sword always emitted an incomparably fierce aura, striking straight at Abel's vital points.

In contrast, Abel's swordsmanship, even though it was slightly better, had lost to momentum. On the contrary, he was forced into a bit of a mess by the other party. Just by looking at this knight, one could tell how troublesome the commander named Haggers was. If she were to compete with Hagrid, the situation would probably be the same as Abel's. No, I'm afraid Uncle Bie is even more miserable.

Unknowingly, the veins on Ruo Luo's hand that was holding the sword had already started to form.

Below the slope, Abel's flames suddenly lit up, and his sword slashed dozens of times like lightning. The dense sword cries converged into an explosive sound, and the storm of origin energy colliding pushed both sides away. Abel stood still, his sword pointing forward, not daring to let down his guard. A few white marks appeared on the Dark Thunder Knight's armor, which was clearly Abel's masterpiece. Hagrid laughed and said, "Come back. You lost."

Although the Dark Thunder Knight had lost, Abel and Jorah were not happy at all. There was a gap of four levels, but Abel had only won a small victory. He didn't even have the chance to let the other party see blood. If this was a life-and-death duel, the outcome was unknown. To his death, there were still eight knights like that.

Without looking at Abel, Haggers looked up at Jorah on the slope and said, "What do you think, beautiful lady? If you don't intend to accept my challenge, then let's use the army to decide the outcome. Only that way, more people will die."

Ruo La's expression changed. She asked herself that she was not confident of winning. If it came to an end, it would be futile for Higgs to deal a blow to his morale. It would be better to take advantage of the morale of the army and Abel's victory to fight Haggers on the battlefield of his choice. However, this was exactly what Hagrid had said. After this battle, it was unknown how many warriors could leave.

Just as Ruo La Bei clenched her teeth and was about to order the entire army to attack, a voice sounded from behind her, "Commander Haggers is a dignified man, yet it is not a knight who wants to fight with a lady like Miss Ruo La. How about this, let me compete with you. I wonder what Commander Haggers thinks?"

Ruo La looked back and saw a few warhorses galloping over from the other side of the army. The first warhorse was Ellen, who was wearing armor and carrying a saber. At this critical juncture, he had finally arrived! Alan came to Zora's side and nodded to her. Then, he stepped forward and looked down at Hagrid.

"Baron Allen, you've come so quickly," Hagrid smiled bitterly.

'"I'm a little late, but I won't be able to participate. Commander Haggers, what did you think of my proposal just now? It's up to you whether to accept it or not. If I lose, I promise that the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine will immediately retreat. Don't you worry?"

When Ruo La saw Alan, the stone hanging in her heart was lowered. She also said, "Baron Alan's promise is equivalent to mine."

When Haggers and Abel heard this, their expressions were completely different.
