Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 510: Sharpness

Zora's words were undoubtedly filled with absolute confidence and trust in Alan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the honor and disgrace of the First Army to him. This great honor made Abel, who had just won a small match at the foot of the slope, feel that he wasn't asking. It was as if he had earned a little credit through hard work just now, and Allen had underestimated it. His small contribution was like the radiance of a firefly to a bright moon, and it was not worth mentioning in Ruo La's eyes at all.

Abel's expression naturally didn't get better.

Haggers also had a bitter expression on his face. According to Daniel's previous plan, he had led his troops to charge towards the main city of the Bauhinia Territory before dusk. At that time, it would be convenient to launch Daniel's revenge operation by forcing Alan over with the force of the siege. She didn't expect that the connection would go wrong twice. One was that she didn't expect Ruo La to have such courage. She dared to abandon the city and choose to take the initiative to fight against her on the battlefield she had chosen. The opponent chose to form an array on a high slope, so it was naturally convenient for the entire army to charge forward and occupy an advantageous location. Even if the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine did not have enough combat experience, it would be extremely difficult for her to place her equipment there and charge from above. That was why Hagrid acted so generously and provoked him into battle. Otherwise, if it was a plain area, he would have already led his troops and rushed over, so how could he talk so much nonsense with Ruo La?

Second, he didn't expect Allen to arrive so quickly, half a day faster than they had expected! Although half a day didn't seem like much time, it was extremely precious. This half a day had fallen into the hands of famous generals, and it was already enough for them to plan and overturn the clouds. Allen's current fame was limited to this territory, but everyone guaranteed that once he broke out of this territory, he would not soar into the sky and become one of the empire's famous generals?

Half a day in advance, he had left enough associations for Haggers to be cautious.

Haggers naturally didn't know that when Alan received Daniel's invasion, he didn't even have time to receive Ou Ban's urgent report. He brought Regis and William along and changed horses along the way to intervene in the battle at this time, causing Haggers to be hesitant.

"How is it, Commander Haggers? Have you thought it through?" On the high slope, Ellen asked again. He had a carefree attitude and gave off a sense of confidence.

Hagrid was still hesitating when he suddenly realized that he was at a disadvantage. Allen's methods were like his saber, full of the smell of advancing forward. As for whether he succeeded or failed, he didn't care about it. Instead, he created a strong atmosphere. However, he had to make many calculations and hesitate, and his momentum had fallen by a large margin. Originally, when he left Black Iron Fort this time, Hagrid was confident that he could make a name for himself under Daniel's banner. He hadn't expected to meet Alan here, but his confidence was shaken.

Confidence was shaken. How could this battle be fought? '"Baron Allen, do we have to decide here and now?" Hagrid smiled bitterly.

Ellen smiled indifferently and said, "Your two legs are on your body, so you naturally have to beat them away. You can do whatever you want."

With Alan's words, how could Hagrid not know how to step down? He immediately said resolutely, "Alright, our army will immediately retreat ten kilometers. Let's stop here today and ask Baron Alan for advice at another time."

Alan sheathed his saber. He extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, saying, "Commander Haggers, you really shouldn't have come."

Hagrid glanced at him and did not answer. He immediately turned his horse around and led his army back. Seeing the unicorn army temporarily withdraw, all the soldiers of the Deep Sea Scaled Belle heaved a sigh of relief. A moment later, they did not know who led the way. Everyone cheered and kept shouting Allen's name. Even Ruo La's cheeks flushed red with excitement, and her gaze at Allen became blazing again.

Who would have thought that Allen would force the enemy to retreat just by relying on his momentum without even needing to end up on the battlefield?

In fact, this was the best outcome for Allen. In order to arrive as soon as possible, he did not bring a single soldier with him. If he pushed Hagrid too hard, he would probably be enraged and lead his troops to attack. Although the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine had the advantage of the terrain, this advantage would gradually disappear after the first wave of charge. As long as Higgs could hold his breath and fight steadily, first weakening the Scaled Sea Belle's spirit, then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, then half of these warriors would be lucky to be able to return.

Now that Hagrid had retreated, it was already rare for Allen to win at least half a day's dispatch time. He had already asked Roy to mobilize his troops. At dusk, at least a 500-strong vanguard would arrive to assist the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine in setting up her defenses. As for the Ark Harbor, I believe Ou Ban will leave as soon as possible. As long as he can delay for three to five days, the Unicorn Legion will have no chance of winning.

However, Alan did not expect Daniel to not only not give up, but also recruit people like Haggers. When he saw the commander of the knights of the Black Iron Castle from afar, Alan was deeply surprised. After not seeing him for many days, Hagrid's aura became even deeper. He thought that if he made another breakthrough, he would be considered a formidable opponent.

Leaving behind the necessary reconnaissance force, Deep Sea Scaled Concubine retreated towards the main city. When they returned to the main city, the rain finally stopped. However, this heavy rain covered the ground with mud, turning the trenches that were being dug into ditches. However, the defensive fortifications still needed to be built, so it would not be careless if they were to be pulled back. When the soldiers started to build the horse barricade, Alan, Ruola, and the others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

When they saw Alan, the expressions of Gral and Oru changed slightly. The difference was that Grar's expression sank, while Oru revealed an undetectable look of joy. But then, the expression on the knight's face became contradictory again. It could be seen that his emotions were changing greatly at this moment. Jorah asked someone to arrange a room for Alan and said, "You go and change your clothes first. I'm going to call a military meeting later. I hope you can attend."

On the way, Ruo La had already calmed down her excitement. She could not deny that when Alan appeared in front of her like a hero, she wished she could throw herself into his arms and leave all the storms in the outside world to him. However, she still remembered her identity. She could only try her best to restrain her emotions, which made her feel both hot and cold.

Alan nodded and followed the servant down. "Why is Baron Allen here?" Jorah returned to her room, and Grall chased after her, "Why is Baron Allen here?"

"He arrived in time to solve one of our problems. What, is there a problem, Uncle Glar?" Ruo La looked at him.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Glar said.

"What should we do?"

"Of course it's to deal with the unicorn!"

Jorah stood at the door and said, "Let's talk about this later at the meeting. I just want to take a shower now. Uncle Glar is not going to visit, is he?"

Grar awkwardly took a step back, pulled the door open, and closed it. After closing the door, she removed her previous expression, held her head and leaned against the door for a while. Finally, she sighed and walked into the bathroom. A moment later, the sound of water rang out in the bathroom.

Outside the door, Glar caught Abel and asked him about the situation. After hearing this, Grar said in a deep voice, "Miss Ruo La really wants Alan to represent Scaled Belle of the Deep Sea?"

"That's right, Uncle. How can Miss Ruola be so casual? After all, Ellen is not from the Deep Sea Scaled Belle!" Abel said resentfully.

"If that's the case, you have to be careful," said Glar, frowning. "Obviously, Miss Jorah trusts him very much. Now that there's a great enemy, I'm afraid Miss Jorah will hand over military power to Ellen."

"Even so, it's still an expedient measure. After that, Ellen can't take the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine with him, right?" Abel disagreed.

"Idiot!" Grar shook his head. This nephew's Origin Energy martial skill was not bad, but his head was too rigid. "What do you know? A human heart is a wondrous thing." If Alan was given the chance to lead the army and the damn him was lucky enough to win the war, the soldiers would see him as their idol. Even if he handed over the military power again, his heart had already changed. The warriors will still be loyal to Miss Ruola, but your words are hard to say. "

"Because at that time, you will only be obscured by Alan's light. Afterwards, the soldiers will only know about Alan, but they will not know about an Abel adjutant!"

Abel was stunned and suddenly said, "In this case, Alan should not have any chance to come into contact with military affairs."

"Uncle, you'll help me, won't you?" He looked at Grar.

"Nonsense, am I happy to see Ellen grow up? He is already powerful enough now. Once he wins the respect of the soldiers of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine, it will be even harder to touch him in the future!" Grar finally spoke his mind.

When Alan walked out of the bathroom, a servant had already prepared a black-gold swordsman suit for him. He put it on and looked into the mirror. The youth inside had lost three traces of childishness on his face. After being tempered on the battlefield of blood and fire for many times, Allen was like a divine weapon, his edges and corners gradually revealing his own sharpness.

He turned around and left. When he stepped into the hall, there were already guests visiting him.

"Sir Oru, I thought you should be so busy right now. Why are you still free?" Alan smiled and picked up Qianjun, carefully wiping him with a silk cloth. As his palm passed through the silk silk, Allen felt as if he was connected to the heavy saber.

Thus, in Oru's eyes, he could no longer distinguish between a person and a saber.

A man is like a knife, a knife is like a man. On this rainy afternoon, there was no difference.

That meant that Allen had taken another step forward in the realm of the Dao of the Saber.

"I was hesitating a moment ago, but seeing you now, Sir Alan, I suddenly realized that Sir Daniel's time had passed." Ao Lu suddenly said.

Alan raised his head, revealing his snow-white teeth and smiling brightly, "I'm glad you've finally made up your mind."

"Yes, because seeing you at this moment, I can't find any reason for you to lose. You should know that Viscount Daniel was an unknown kid at your age. To be honest, when I heard about Daniel's sudden dispatch of troops, I thought about joining forces with him to eat the Deep Sea Scaled Belle." Oru looked straight into Alan's eyes and said.

"Then, of course you don't have such thoughts now?"

Oru stood up and respectfully said to Alan, "Yes, my lord. But my allegiance will be to you, not to Oppen, nor to Jorah or Grar."

"I am honored, but now, please help Miss Jorah. At least until I leave Earl Oban, Sir Oru, I cannot accept your loyalty."

In a simple sentence, he said all of the ambition in the youth's heart. Oru took a deep breath and said, "I can wait, and as a person, I have patience."

"Alright, then you have to keep an eye on the work of the city defense. You must not shrink it."

Oru nodded and said, "I'm going on a patrol."

When he walked out of the room again, Oru's mood was completely different. That kind of unhurried feeling after making a decision was something that could not be expressed in words. After making his decision, Oru didn't even feel threatened by the unicorns. They are still not optimistic, though, in the light of the situation. But Alan had that kind of charm. Oru straightened his back and strode away.

The meeting will be held in an hour.

Apart from such important people as Jorah, Alan, and Oru, the attendees of the meeting also included officers from all levels of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. However, there were no seats for them in the meeting room, so these officers were basically standing and listening.

"Everyone, you should know the current situation. Now, Daniel's attitude was clear. He intended to recapture the Bauhinia. But we won't let him do that, and because of Sir Allen's timely arrival, the unicorn is now temporarily retreating ten kilometers away. Coupled with the heavy rain stopping now, it could be predicted that even if they wanted to attack, they would still have to do so tomorrow. We won at least half a day of preparation, and given the realities of our army, I have a suggestion here. "Jorah swept across the field and finally landed on Allen." I hope Sir Allen can be my adjutant for the time being and help us in this war. "

A low discussion immediately sounded in the meeting room, and the expressions of Glar and Abel became ugly. Even though Zora did not hand over the military affairs to Alan as they had expected. But where would Abel be if Alan were to be his lieutenant?

Glar winked at Abel, who immediately slapped the table and said, "I object!"

Alan looked at him indifferently, revealing a faint smile, which made Abel even more furious. Alan's indifferent attitude made him feel that he was nothing but a small role in the eyes of others, and now he was even more determined to oppose Zora's proposal.

"What's the reason?" Ruo La glanced at him coldly.

'"Of course, Sir Allen's military service is outstanding. But he is not a member of our Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. He is not familiar with our military system. Let him be Miss Zora's aide. I'm afraid Sir Allen will make the wrong decision and affect the situation."
