Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 526: Bloody Battle Hundred Strikes

Once the captain died, the team that Hagrid had arranged here had no fighting spirit at all. Coupled with the ferocious firepower of the Inch Fire and the valiant assault of the Mountain King, a soldier finally screamed and fled the position. At this moment, the unicorn soldiers were like scattered sand. They were reluctant to fight and rushed to the front. Allen pointed at the artillery position with Blood Concealment in his hand, "Explode it!"

The Inch Fire Warrior immediately took out the flame lightning from his body and threw it at him one after another.

In the middle of the camp, Hagrid and Jorah had just had a tough collision, and the two of them were evenly divided. Suddenly, a fierce explosion came from the shelling position. Hagrid looked at it in shock. The flames there soared into the sky, and it was clear that the cannons were unsafe. He said in a low voice, "So your real goal is there."

Ruo La smiled and did not reply. He let out a clear howl and dragged the sword back. This was a signal to retreat. Hearing Ruo La's howl, the people fighting in the various regions immediately retreated in an orderly manner, ignoring the situation before them. Haggers ordered his men to chase after him, but the power left behind by the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine was extremely powerful. Moreover, with experts like Ruola and Regis as support nodes, the Unicorn Legion dragged on for a moment before they galloped off on horseback.

After returning to the main city, Alan put away the Blood Concealment. After the blood-colored heavy saber dispersed the Origin Energy within the saber, the blood energy around it also dispersed, and the killing intent on the saber also dissipated. It was like a fierce beast that had awakened from its slumber. Although it had put away its killing intent, it did not fall asleep again. Instead, it just closed its eyes and slept, waiting for another chance to kill.

This is indeed a murder weapon.

Alan took a bath and was awake. He simply sat and recalled the scene of the previous battle, and used the experience of the blood test to temper and digest it. Especially when Xue Yin sensed a wisp of the Blood Lion General's spiritual will, it was of great benefit to him. After transforming everything he had gained from the night into his own, Alan had a preliminary understanding of Xue Yin. For example, the blood energy formed from killing intent could change the nature of his original ability, just like a flame breath that merged with the blood energy and transformed into a second attack skill.

Alan called this battle skill Blood Flame Flash.

As for the continuous slash he had learned from the Blood Lion General's will, Alan called it the Bloody Battle Hundred Strikes. If it weren't for the heroic courage of the Thousand Soldiers, he wouldn't have been able to unleash the continuous saber momentum that frightened his opponent. Secondly, it was killing intent. By guiding Xue Yin's killing intent into the saber momentum, he could achieve the purpose of borrowing the saber to transmit his killing intent.

Finally, there was Origin Energy. After using these hundred strikes, the consumption of Origin Energy was not small, but it was in exchange for an extremely powerful attack. This hundred strikes could be said to be the essence of the Blood Lion General's saber technique. Once the saber force was unleashed, there were few flaws to be found in each strike. Even if Alan was stronger than him, he would have to endure these hundred strikes before he could retaliate.

However, how could this hundred strikes be so easy to endure? Every single strike was as powerful as a rainbow, killing intent like a tide, and all of them pressed down on the opponent's mental will. As long as the opponent's mind relaxed, life and death could be instantly determined. Thinking about how the Blood Lion General had fought for his entire life and killed millions of enemies, these hundred strikes had all been tempered from bloody battles, and their power naturally could not be underestimated.

However, Alan could vaguely feel that the hundred strikes were still a little cumbersome. If he could refine these hundred or so attacks into ten strikes, his power would increase by a large margin. However, this was also not an easy task. He needed to be thoroughly familiar with the Bloody Battle Hundred Strikes and combine it with his own combat experience before he could accomplish it.

Blood Flame Flash and Blood Battle Hundred Strikes could be said to be Blood Hidden Saber's exclusive combat skills. Both of them needed to combine the enormous killing intent of the saber itself in order to display their power. If it was any other weapon, even Qianjun would lose that savage and fierce smell.

Alan was very interested in Xue Yin, so he took it out and tried to use it to use his strongest killing move. However, he discovered that when the flame power needed to activate the Inch Flame was pushed into the blade, the blood energy within the blade naturally swallowed the flame power and converted it into a part of the blood energy. As a result, only a small portion of Alan's flame power could be successfully pushed into the blade.

In order to satisfy the flame power required by the Inch Flame, Allen found that the flash times of flame breath he had to seal into the blade were three to four times more than in the past. He couldn't help but smile bitterly as he was able to cancel out the part of his flame power that had been devoured and melted by the blood energy. If he could withstand such consumption, he could have used the full version of Qianjun's Inch Flame long ago. At this point, he could only give up. At the same time, he discovered that Xue Yin was not always at a disadvantage.

While possessing its own characteristics, it also meant that some of its skills were greatly limited. Just like Inch Fire, Ellen was unable to use this technique with Blood Hidden.

As for the other properties of Blood Concealment, it was not something that could be explored in just one night. Ellen wasn't in a hurry, he had to familiarize himself with the artifact nature of Blood Concealment for a period of time. In the future, he would have plenty of opportunities.

Right now, he had Qianjun and Xueyin's heavy blades. The former tended to be exquisite in small-scale battles, and was more skilled in the domains where experts competed for supremacy. The latter was a weapon of slaughter on the battlefield, so of course, it could be used to fight against experts. However, Alan had only obtained the Blood Concealment for a short time, so he was not as familiar with its artifact properties as Qianjun. It was fine to use it to fight on the battlefield. If it was used to deal with experts, it would naturally be easy for Qian Jun to do so.

One night passed like this.

At dawn, the door was knocked on. Ellen opened the door. Outside the door stood a knight of the Abyssal Scaled Concubine. He straightened his back, clenched his right fist and hammered the armor on his chest to show his respect for Ellen. He shouted, "Sir Ellen, Miss Jorah invites you to breakfast."

Alan nodded and said, "I'll be there soon."

A moment later, Ellen saw Jorah in the barracks dining room. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have spent the night in the barracks last night. In the dining room, Ruo La had a single table. The food on the table was not exquisite, but it could be said to be sufficient. Jorah saw Alan and smiled, pointing to the chair he had set aside for him. "Sit down and eat. It doesn't taste good, but it's enough."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of bread and sent it to her mouth. At the same time, she picked up the water beside her and took a sip. Ellen sat down and said, "I thought you weren't used to these things."

"As the Commander-in-Chief, I naturally have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Whatever they can eat, I can eat." With that, Ruo La began to concentrate on eliminating the food on the table.

Alan slept at the end of the night, and now was the time to be hungry. Ruola remained silent. The two of them buried their heads in the food. Under the surprised gazes of the soldiers beside them, the two nobles had cleanly eaten a table of military meals, and they had never wasted anything at all. As a result, the gazes the soldiers looked at them were slightly different.

Ruola wiped her mouth with a clean silk handkerchief, then stood up and looked at the soldiers who were staring at them. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat breakfast. Only after you finish eating will you have the strength to fight. Earl Oban's reinforcements will arrive today. It's time to fight back against the unicorns. But if you're not full, you'll be cheap unicorns."

The soldier burst into laughter. Someone shouted, "Eat!" Then, the restaurant turned into another battlefield. The kitchen of the restaurant wiped away the cold sweat and watched the soldier let go of his appetite. He immediately scolded, "Damn it, are you guys planning to eat lunch together?"

After cursing, he still ran back to the kitchen and shouted, "Add some more dishes and feed the hungry ghosts outside!"

After leaving the restaurant, Ellen saw the smile on Ruo La's face and asked curiously, "You look in a good mood."

"Of course, you don't know how useless we have been these past few days. Last night, we finally managed to vent our anger. Today, we can launch another counterattack. Why should I be in a bad mood?" Ruo held his sword and said, "Not only did we knock out their artillery positions last night, we also killed over a hundred of them. Our own losses were negligible. It was a huge victory. You know, the kids need to win a few battles now. Last night was the beginning, and after that, they will get more glory."

"After all, they have a good manager."

Ruo La rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you making fun of me? Who doesn't know that you, Baron Allen, have done a great job."

"Miss Ruo La is being polite to say so. At most, I can be considered to be helping from the side. The greatest credit is yours. I'm not just saying that, but the post-war report will also be recorded in this way." Alan said seriously.

Ruo La understood his will, but she smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not you. Why do you need so many military contributions?"

"If you want to fight for your own destiny, believe me, it's not a bad thing for you to have more military merits. As for other people, they will think more about your plans. If they think more about it, you will take the initiative." Alan said seriously.

Ruo La stared at him blankly and paused for a moment before saying, "The others can't be referring to my brother, right?"

"You should know better than I do who you are referring to. It can be Earl Oban or the son of the Marquis of the Iron Spear."

"So … you know?" Ruo La raised her head and glanced at Alan. "No wonder you did it yesterday …" she said.

What she meant was that Alan was afraid of the Marquis of the Iron Spear, so he didn't develop further with her yesterday. '"I'm not afraid of anyone, even the Marquis of the Iron Spear. But I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want you to be underestimated in the future," Alan shook his head.

Alan looked into her eyes. At this moment, he didn't need to speak too much and could see each other's intentions from each other's eyes. As they looked at each other speechlessly, an alarm suddenly sounded in the direction of the defensive wall. Judging from the length of the alarm, it was a signal for the enemy to attack.

Ellen was surprised, "This Hagrid is also powerful. He actually took the initiative to attack?"

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of him? Besides, it's good that he's here. I can earn more military merits, right?" Ruo La laughed. At this moment, she regained her heroic nature.
