Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 524: Insignificant

"Earl Oban can arrive tomorrow. Then we can fight back." Alan put down the urgent report, as if he didn't recognize the regret in Ruo La's words.

Ruo La looked at him resentfully and said, "Yes, I also discussed with everyone before. I originally planned to surprise the unicorn tomorrow. Now that my brother has also come, we can do a good job."

"Before we counterattack, we can do some harassment and destruction. Tonight, for example, we take down their artillery positions, and tomorrow the pressure will be much less."

"This is not easy. After you knocked out the unicorns, they are now sending heavy troops to defend the artillery battlefield day and night. I think it will be very difficult to attack them all at once."

"I didn't say we could shoot it down at once. We could split up the army into teams and attack and harass them in turns. Tell them to divert their attention, or even their forces, so we have a chance," Ellen said coolly.

"This isn't a bad idea."

"Then, let's split up and have the people below prepare."

Alan was about to leave when Ruo La suddenly grabbed his hand. He looked back in surprise. Ruo La's face flushed red, but she said boldly, "It's still early. Perhaps we can find a quiet place to continue what we haven't done just now."

Alan secretly sighed in his heart. The impulse in his heart was almost uncontrollable when something like that happened just now. If he had just let nature take its course and done a good deed, then that would be fine. As for now, especially after receiving Ou Ban's urgent report, Ruo La's identity had once again become sensitive. The nobles cherished their dignity, especially the Earl of Ouban. If she were to marry Jorah in the future, and the other party discovered that she was not perfect, not only would it bring trouble to Ou Ban, but Jorah's life would be even more difficult.

After all, those who could enter Ouban Fa's eyes would definitely not be inferior in status. For his own sake, and for Zora's sake, Ellen could not pluck this ripe fruit anyway. "Now is not a good time," he said.

Zora's self-esteem was shaken when she heard what he said. She was also a very strong person. She forced a smile and said, "I think so too. Forget it, it's still important to work."

She decisively let go of Alan's hand. Alan glanced at her and nodded as he left. After Ellen left, Ruo La looked at the empty meeting room and said with a bit of melancholy, "If I miss today, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future …"

A low sigh echoed in the meeting room.

Alan left the meeting room and walked around a corner along the corridor. His heart skipped a beat, and a figure flashed in front of his eyes. Someone grabbed him with one hand. Alan stepped sideways and was caught empty-handed. Abel used the wrong force and almost fell to the ground. He stabilized his body and glared at Alan.

"Adjutant Abel? Oh, no, you're no longer an adjutant now. What are you doing, planning to sneak attack me?" Alan frowned.

"What did you do to Miss Jorah in the meeting room just now?" Abel said in a low voice as he stood in front of Ellen.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I don't understand, ha." Abel gritted his teeth and said, "I know what you're trying to do. I'm warning you, don't attack Miss Jorah. She's not something you can touch!"

"I really don't know. So you still have a hobby of peeping." Alan said coldly, "I warn you, too, not to interfere in my affairs, especially between me and Jorah. Even if anything happens between us, it's our own personal affair. I can't touch her, can you?"

'"No, I can't. I just found out that Earl Oban intends to marry Miss Ruola to the son of the Marquis of Iron Spear. That's why I forbid you to touch her, for you will kill Ruola!" Abel laughed bitterly.

Alan looked at him from head to toe. Even though Abel was confused about him, his words came from the bottom of his heart and his love for Jorah. He said solemnly, "I can tell you that nothing happened inside. This is the first and last time I have explained. Not for you, but for Zora."

Abel nodded and said, "I hope so, Ellen. Jorah likes you, but you two can't be together. Absolutely not."

He shook his head. Perhaps he remembered that he had no hope of falling under Jorah's skirt. He looked a little disappointed and walked away dejectedly.

Alan felt helpless as well. This was often the case in life. The person you like may not be together. And barely together, may not be happy. Alan thought of Lucy, who was a hundred times more noble than Jorah. Now that they were together, it was only Lucy's hardness and the Emperor's temporary compromise.

And after that?

If Alfascist Emperor was willing to send out his army and experts to bring Lucy back, would he be able to protect this relationship? Alan shook his head. His current strength was still too small. He had originally thought that his accomplishments during this period of time were already quite good, so small that he was unable to resist a colossus like Orfascism. Now that he thought about his future with Lucy, he felt that he was still far from being able to do so.

He didn't know how much time he still had, but he couldn't waste a second right now. Alan clenched his fists and took heavy steps towards the barracks.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Tonight, the clouds were dense, blocking the moonlight. The night was dim, and the heavens and earth acted as a murderous aura.

Inside the main tent of the unicorn camp, Haggers called over a few officers and made some arrangements for them to go down. These arrangements were all to prepare for tomorrow's battle. After Daniel transferred one-third of his troops, most of the officers tried to delay the battle, but Hagrid advocated attacking. In the end, his arm couldn't beat his thigh, and Hagrid was the main general. The officers didn't dare to disobey Daniel's orders and went down to prepare before Daniel could be changed.

Thus, there were only two Dark Lightning Knights left in the tent. They had followed Haggers for many years and could be considered trusted aides.

"My lord, our current strength is somewhat insufficient. If we continue to attack the city, I'm afraid we won't be able to obtain much benefits, right?" One of the knights couldn't help but say.

Haggers looked at him and smiled, "Trust me, Scaly Deep Sea is definitely thinking of a counterattack." Moreover, Count Orban would probably arrive at the battlefield tomorrow. Lord Daniel's arrangements won't last long. After all, the main force of the unicorns is here. So the two things come together. If we can't attack before Oberon arrives, we'll have to take the initiative. While we still have a certain advantage, we should try to reduce the enemy's strength to the maximum extent possible. When the two armies meet up, we'll have to retreat. "

"After all, the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine still has a city to rely on. Could it be that we can use the temporary camp to defend against the enemy's attacks?"

"Unfortunately, if Lord Daniel were willing to part with those things and attack the bauhinia while Alan was away, we might have been drinking in the city by now," Haggers said with a sigh.

He shook his head. Daniel refused to listen to his suggestion and let go of the fighter jet. He had no choice but to adapt to the situation. As for the plan he had made earlier, it seemed that it was no longer feasible.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire came from outside the tent.

Hagrid suddenly raised his head. Before he could send out the Dark Knight to see what was going on, a soldier ran in and said to Hagrid, "My lord, we have discovered the enemy's troops."

"How many?"

"There are more than a hundred vanguards. I wonder how much support they have."

"Where did they attack the barracks?"

"Southeast of the camp."

"They're here for our supplies," Haggers snorted coldly. "Notify the warriors to fight. But allocate a portion to protect the war supplies, especially food and water. If we lose them, the rest of our lives will be tough."

Just as he finished speaking, a dense barrage of gunshots rang out. It sounded like soldiers from both sides were shooting at each other.

A group of knights from the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine took advantage of the darkness of the night to wrap their hooves in cloth and launch a sneak attack. Even though the unicorns had hidden sentries in the outer circle of the camp, it was a pity that the sky was too dark tonight and the bottom could be seen low. The cavalry came quickly again, and when the sentinel discovered them, the cavalry was already in a whirlwind of chaos. The battle broke out before the sentinels could warn.

The cavalry charged into the southeast side of the unicorn camp and burned down a few tents before being counterattacked by the unicorn soldiers. The knights of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine did not want to fight. After using the advantage of the Fire Dragon Rifle to kill a few enemy soldiers, they turned around and retreated.

After that, Hagrid also rushed over. He felt helpless as he watched the camp that had been forcefully attacked burn down some tents and kill 20 to 30 soldiers. The cavalry came as soon as they said, and they left as soon as they said. Unless they were prepared beforehand, it would be very difficult for them to stay behind. He himself had used the same method to attack the bauhinia a a few days ago, but now he was only returning the color. Haggers could only order people to clean up the camp and ask for more vigilance.

As soon as he finished speaking, he hadn't had the time to issue this order. Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed in front of the camp. A fireball exploded in the camp. Within the flames, the silhouettes of figures and objects flew up. When the explosion was over, the sound of gunfire could also be heard from that direction. Hagrid finally realized that things weren't that simple. Just as he thought, the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine took turns to make her move tonight. The cavalry, firemen, gunmen, and infantry soldiers all went on the field one after another, splitting up into different teams. They were like a pack of wolves hunting in the night. They took a bite at the unicorn's prey and tore it apart. It was completely unclear what their tactical goal was.

At first, the unicorn army was still running around, but a few times later, Hagrid decided to draw up a number of areas in the camp. Each region was guarded by a team. Unless the enemy's firepower in the attacked region was fierce, other teams were only allowed to watch from the sidelines. In order to avoid rashly mobilizing to create a loophole for his opponent.

In this way, the unicorn soldiers would not be tired of running, but the sound of gunfire and killing almost never stopped. In the end, even though the officer gave the order to rest, the soldier did not dare to sleep at ease, afraid that he would lose his life in his sleep.

Inside the main tent, Hagrid's expression darkened. Right under his nose, the harassment tactics that he had used in the past few days were repeated. However, this time, the other party had used it on his own army.
