Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 914: Pretend to Be a Ghost

Seeing that it was Allen and the other two, Darang scolded softly, "What are the two young masters up to?"

Watch turned to Hunter and said, "Take those two away!"

The old captain was also honest, and he didn't forget to protect Allen and the others at this time. Hunter answered and turned to leave. Suddenly, Walker cried out in alarm from behind him. Hunter turned around and saw that the wall-like heavy cavalry had parted at some unknown time. A tall horse crashed into him, and a strong knight like a short mountain swept his axe. Watch's axe flew out and fell at the feet of Allen and Allen.

Photographed by the knight's might, Darang and the others retreated step by step. Everyone was panting, nervous and terrified. How could they be opponents if they were capable of sweeping Worche away with a single axe? Hunter's mind was simple. Seeing that the Guild Leader was injured, he roared with red eyes and rushed forward. He also held a mountain axe in his hand, and before he could lift his axe, the knight immediately let out a sinister laugh. The knight first swung his axe and then swept it towards Hunter.

Hunter hurriedly used his axe as a shield.

Dang!

A loud explosion rang out.

Hunter flew backwards, his axe shattered and his arm snapped, forming a strange shape. Fortunately, Hunter's body was strong and he didn't die, but he inhaled more and exhaled less, instantly suffering serious injuries.

Walker was much better than Hunter, but the tiger's mouth was shattered. He leaned on Luo Yan and stood up, giving Allen and the others a fierce glance, telling them to retreat. Unfortunately, the two noble young masters seemed to be dumbfounded by the scene in front of them and stood motionless. The heavily armored knights slowly dispersed, forming a siege with the leader of the knights, creating a situation where they wanted to kill them all.

At this moment, Walker let out a long breath. Luo Yan pointed at the vicious man on the horse and said in a deep voice, "You are not bandits!"

"Then what do you think we are?" The leader smiled.

Instead of giving Walker a chance to answer, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what you think, you're all going to die here tonight anyway. Well, I've talked a little more tonight. What nonsense do I have to say to the dead?"

He laughed at himself and raised his hand.

He was about to wave it down.

"Wait!" Alan snatched it out. Although he didn't have any fear on his face, his palms trembled slightly and he acted as if he was strong enough. He said, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, Earl Rackett will kill you all without a burial ground!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Walker look at him with a complicated expression on his face, even the leader of the Battle Horse said, "Oh!" The leader smiled and asked, "Are you related to Earl Rackett?"

"Of course!" Alan straightened his back, looking tough. However, in the eyes of Darang and the others, they all felt that he was putting on an act. '"Count Rackett is my uncle," Allen pretended to laugh coldly. "How about this, isn't this backer tough enough? Although you are strong, you can defeat the Count and the soldiers of Mountain City."

"You're Earl Rackett's nephew," laughed the leader. "Impossible, I don't know you at all."

At the end of his sentence, the atmosphere froze. "Kill them all!" The leader shouted coldly.

Watch's expression was strange, as if he was thinking of something.

Allen stepped back and smiled at the leader, "It's not certain who will kill who. Belmord, not a single one is left!"

Only then did Darang remember why the two young masters' guards weren't around them. As soon as this thought appeared, he saw an unforgettable scene. Seventeen or eighteen heavily armored knights suddenly flew into the air with their heads raised high. The headless corpse shook twice before falling to the ground one by one. When the helmet-wearing heads fell to the ground, blood sprayed out of the corpse's neck like a fountain!

The leader paused.

Suddenly, someone whispered from behind his neck, "My young master likes to play tricks, but I don't like it. But without him buying me time, it would be a bit difficult to kill all of you. But now, it's finally done."

The leader shouted as he turned around and waved his axe, but he didn't hit anything. He was definitely divine, but he saw a man squatting on the axe and smiling leisurely. Then, he flicked his finger on his forehead, and the leader's gaze immediately lifted up. He saw the pitch-black sky, then the ground, and finally his headless corpse!

Only then did he know that the man had already cut off his head.

So terrifying!

Walker was bitter and speechless. He watched awkwardly as Belmord jumped off his horse and bowed to Alan, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint."

Alan patted him on the shoulder as if he had done enough. "You've worked hard." The old captain threw Luo Yan to Darang and walked over, "So Mr. Saga purposely stalled for time to cover for your family?"

"Not all of them. Actually, I'm scared to death. Look at the sweat on my palms." Alan rubbed his palms, which were not stained with sweat at all.

Watch relaxed when he heard what he said. Allen added, "The two of us don't have any combat strength. We can't help but think of another way. The reason why we didn't lend Qianniao my bodyguard earlier is because Belmord isn't good at frontal assassination. It's not suitable for him to fight in such a position. I hope Commander Watch won't take offense."

Even though Walker had felt a little dissatisfied before, it had long since disappeared. Hearing this, he said, "Mr. Saga is too serious. I owe you all this time. Otherwise, we will be in great trouble."

"Then let's do this. We're tired and sleepy now, so let's go back to the camp first. By the way, the bandits from the camp have also been killed by this guard of mine." Allen looked at Darang with a slightly provocative gaze. He was well-behaved, looking like a noble who had found a place for what had happened during the day.

Darang avoided Alan's line of sight.

After they left, Watch looked at Darang and said, "Mr. Saga may not be as useless as you said. It's true that he doesn't have any combat strength. But this courage and strategy are different from ordinary noble young masters. Don't provoke him in the future."

"I see." Even though Darang had said that, he still didn't take it seriously in his heart. He looked at Belmord's back and thought to himself, "How dare that person have any guts or schemes? He just relied on an expert to be his bodyguard." If he was given such an expert bodyguard, he would still be able to do such a good job.

Belmord sensed a line of sight from behind him and smiled. "As you said, I put that thing in the leader's corpse. I'm sure Walker and the others will find out soon." He whispered to Ellen.

"En, the heavy-duty knight, Rackett, this old fellow, is willing to give up on the heavy-duty one. However, if he loses twenty of them at a time, he will probably die of heartache." Ellen chuckled and said, "I wonder if Old Walker can hear what the leader said just now. If he didn't, it wouldn't be a waste of my breath."

Unte finally couldn't help but say, "I can't understand a word you're saying."

Alan patted him on the shoulder without explaining, making the boy furious.

The bandit group came aggressively and attacked ferociously, but in the end, they were all lost here for no apparent reason. Walker was still alive, but he also had a strange feeling, many details of which he didn't have the time to consider during the battle. But now that he calmed down, these things began to surface one by one. The fifty-cavalry Thief Guild had twenty heavily armored knights. The leader was a strong man who could lift him off with one axe. Even if he was at the end of Level 20, he was still not far away.

When did such a terrifying group of thieves appear in the Absolute Shadow Highlands?

Moreover, the cavalry moved silently, killing the enemy without a sound, not even letting out a miserable cry when fighting to the death. Is this a thief? This was clearly a well-trained cavalry!

While the mercenaries were cleaning up the battlefield, Darang came to Walker's side alone with a serious expression on his face.

"Is something the matter?"

Darang nodded.

"Is it serious?"

"Very serious!" Darang stretched out his hand and spread out his fingers. A military badge was lying quietly on his palm. The badge had the design of a castle and a mountain wolf. Watch's expression darkened as he looked up at the junior he valued.

"This is the symbol of the army of Mountain City." Walker said in a trembling voice.

Darang narrowed his eyes. "Could it be a mistake?"

"Just now I don't understand, how such a strong group of thieves appeared. If there was such a group of thieves, the Mountain City army would have already taken action to eradicate them. But if this group of thieves was the army of Mountain City itself … "Watch slapped his thigh." No wonder the leader of the Thieves said it was impossible without thinking when Mr. Saga said he was Earl Rackard's nephew. "I wonder how a bandit can recognize the count's nephew, but if this bandit was originally from Mountain City …"

"Then what should we do?" Darang's palms trembled. "I'll destroy this badge."

"Even if we destroy it, Count Rackett will definitely find out if he loses this cavalry. In the end, he will find out about us. What if he finds out that the cavalry is in our hands …"

A sharp light flashed in Darang's eyes, "When we arrive at Mountain City, we will immediately go and see the count. Tell him that Saga and his followers killed this cavalry!"

"Darang!" Walker jumped up and said angrily, "How can you do that? You don't even think about who let us live!"

"Without him, we might not be able to die." Darang argued, "And Captain Watch, in order to save our Thousand Birds, we have to hand them over."

"No, this matter is not negotiable." Walker refused without hesitation. "And you think Earl Rackett did something indecent. If you go and report it, the first person he killed would definitely not be Mr. Saga, but you. Do you think the Earl will tolerate us discovering his secret?"

Darang thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "Then what should we do?"

"Let me see. There's always a way. You go ahead and get busy."

Watching the young man leave, Watch shook his head. "Perhaps I can't give Ferlyn to him so easily."

The Guild Leader sighed and stood on an old tree not far from him. The wind blew past and a few snowflakes fell.
