Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 921: Accusation Of Guilt
Rackett suddenly opened his eyes and could still hear the sound of the mountain explosion. He lifted his blanket and was caught by a naked young woman who opened her half-awake and half-asleep eyes to look at the old man. Rackett ignored his favorite beauty and rushed to the window in a thin nightgown. Raising the thick curtain, the flames outside the window lit up. The mountain path was filled with flames, causing Rackett's heart to sink.
"What's going on?" He shouted.
Justin's anxious voice rang out from outside the door. "It's Viscount Allen, my lord. He destroyed the sentry post, crossed the entrance guard, and has already rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion. Commander Kant has brought his men and horses to the mountain path to intercept him."
"Kant can't be his opponent …" Lecter paused and gritted his teeth. "Give me the armor and inform Gonza. If he still wants our agreement to take effect, hurry over!"
Justin immediately went to work, and a few other guards went into the bedroom with Quarry Bay. They brought the armor that Rackett had used at the end of his life and began to help him put it on one by one.
The strange movements on the mountain path attracted the attention of everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.
Parson stood at the window with the blanket wrapped around him, his face pale.
The eldest son, Yopuni, had a serious expression on his face.
Remington laughed loudly and hit the window edge. "What a madman. He's so domineering. If he can succeed, then I'll be convinced. So what if I'm a watchdog to you? It's not bad to be a dog with such a master."
The guards gathered on the mountain path as if they were facing a great enemy.
Guard Commander Kant was in his prime and had spent most of his life in the army. Therefore, they were unable to obtain the position of Guild Leader in the legion. However, being transferred to the City Lord's Mansion as the Guild Leader was a more nourishing job than being a Guild Leader. After all, he was very close to the count. Sometimes, what he said was even more useful than what the commander said. Normally, there would be nobles wrapped around him.
After a few years, Kant's Origin Energy had fallen to Level 18 instead of advancing. His body was not as strong as before, and his stomach had gained a lot of fat. This comfortable life had passed for too long. When he suddenly encountered a strong enemy, Kant's palm holding the hilt of the sword was covered in sweat.
He had worked for Rackett as a doorman for so many years, and no one had ever seen him before, but he had never seen such a person walk alone. Just now, he had already sent a small team to intercept him, but in the end, he hadn't even moved a single step down. The man hadn't even unsheathed his saber and was walking up like he was leisurely walking. The guard that intercepted him was like a wave that smashed into a rock, instantly shattering into countless waves.
At the end of the saber strike, more than a dozen guards with decent skills were lying on the mountain path forever. How could Kant not be nervous?
At this moment, someone behind him coughed dryly.
Kant turned around and felt relieved.
Rackett's here.
The count waved his hand, and the crowd split apart, and Rackett moved to the front. His entire body was covered in armor, and the shape of his armor and stomach seemed to have been around for some years, and it did not fit him that well. However, with this armor, Rackett had some dignity. He leaned on the giant sword and looked coldly at Alan on the mountain path. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with shock. Alan was about to walk through the entire mountain path. Although his aura was weak, the flame marks on his body could be clearly seen.
The huge engravings all over his body clearly did not look like what he had heard before. Moreover, the change in the imprint indicated that the viscount had already passed the level 20 barrier. This was another item that contradicted the intelligence. Rackett thought he knew Allen well enough, but when he stood in front of him, the old count felt that he could not see through the young man in the slightest.
"Viscount Allen!" '"What does that mean? You're provoking an Empire Earl by blowing up my sentry post and breaking into my door! Even if I kill you on the spot tonight, the Empire won't dare to interfere, do you know?" Rackett said sternly.
Alan smiled and raised his hand to wipe off his dyed red hair. The red hair was covered in silver as his palm passed. When Alan put down his hand, his silver hair was as dazzling as stars in the flames. Ellen hugged his saber and smiled, "Your Excellency also knows that you are the Earl of the Empire …"
He paused for a moment, then his tone suddenly became harsh, "Then I will ask Count Rackett why, as an Imperial Knight, he dares to hide an outsider army in his own territory!" Adultery with an outsider was not only a capital offense, it was also heavily punished. You can argue, but I've already sent the evidence to the Ark Harbor Supervisory Council. According to the empire's constitution, those who discover adultery with outsiders can take the lead. All City Lord guards, listen up. This is none of your business. Get out of my way. If you interfere, you will be guilty of conspiracy. You must think it over clearly. "
There were traces of outsider activity in Mountain City, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two. Especially those guards who came from the army, they were even more aware of what was inside the independent camp. However, no one dared to say anything because the higher-ups had given the order to stop the soldiers from dying. Moreover, this mountain city was under Earl Rackett's control. What did the big shots do? How could they dare to criticize such small shots? If they didn't feel that their lives were long, then what was it?
But now, he had been kicked out, and the other party's identity had been revealed by Rackett himself. He was actually a viscount. This person was not from Mountain City. If it was true as he said, the evidence of Earl Rackett's adultery had already been sent to the Overwatch Council, then Mountain City would be doomed.
Under the cover of the nest, Ann had finished her egg?
Moreover, if he were to interfere at this moment, he would be dead. So the mountain road guards looked at me and I looked at you, and the morale of the army was in chaos. Rackett looked at Alan and cursed him countless times in his heart. This fellow's empty words shook the morale of his troops. It was truly troublesome. Rackett did not panic on the surface and shouted, "All of this is just your words. You, a viscount, have come to visit for no reason. Breaking into the house late at night and killing people is a felony of the empire!"
"Listen to me, Sir Alan's intentions are not right. According to the empire's constitution, as a count, I have the right to detain the troublemaker. Take him down now. If he dares to resist, kill him!" The Rackett Sword paused heavily.
Under the Count's gathering might, a group of soldiers rushed towards Allen.
Alan shook his head, thinking to himself that Rackett's ginger was still very old and spicy. A few casual words neutralized his plan to attack his heart, but it didn't affect him at all. Those words were just an excuse for his actions tonight.
After all, Alan was not idle.
In the blink of an eye, two blades slashed towards him.
Allen didn't dodge, treating the saber as if it was nothing, and stepped forward with his sword in his arms.
The two soldiers hadn't even had time to be happy when they were about to slay Allen. Suddenly, he felt an invisible aura erupt, and the saber was unable to cut down any further, sending both the man and the saber flying into an invisible force field. After knocking the two of them away, Alan took the first three steps and bounced Red King into his arms. He did not unsheathe his saber, only swinging out a crescent moon trajectory and sweeping past the three guards. The three men's saber and sword armor, along with their bodies, were silently dislocated, turning into three pools of blood that filled the mountain path.
Several sabers were sliced at the same time, and the remaining five soldiers gritted their teeth and attacked. Two slashes to Allen's head, three slashes to his legs, make Allen care about one thing and lose the other.
Alan smiled indifferently.
Red King sheathed himself and a powerful force suddenly pressed down on him. With him as the center of the circle, the mountain path within five meters collapsed and a circular pit that was more than three meters deep appeared out of thin air. The five long blades that had originally sliced into his head and legs were all pressed to the ground. Alan raised his leg and stepped on it. If he stepped on Rackett's face, the corner of the count's mouth would twitch.
In the blink of an eye, Alan jumped out of the pit and took another three steps. Behind him, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the black and red flames of rage burned the soldiers in the pit to death on the spot.
Seeing a small team die so easily in Allen's hands, the other party still hadn't even unsheathed his saber, and the remaining soldiers trembled. Allen took another step forward, and when he took three steps forward, the soldiers would take a step back, which made Rackett very angry. The count gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do not retreat. Kill him. I will give him a hundred gold coins for a knife or a spear! The one who removes his hands and feet will be the Hundred Elders tomorrow! Whoever kills him, my daughter will be his!"
"And if anyone dares to take another step back, he will be condemned to death!"
A soldier's heart trembled when he heard this, and he unconsciously retreated. Immediately, a blade stabbed out from his chest and his eyes widened. Kant pushed the soldier away and pointed his bloody sword at Alan, "Kill!"
Under the pressure and temptation, the soldiers did not hesitate and charged at Allen like crazy. A dozen or so firefighters were the first to amass firepower to cover for the approaching infantry warriors. They were using a well-regulated and proper army charging tactic. A round of fire and gunfire shot out, but there was no sign of any damage to Ellen. When the bullet in the gun was unloaded, it was originally hard to see with the naked eye, but when it approached Allen, the bullets appeared one after another.
As if they had drilled into a heavy water curtain, many warheads struggled forward, leaving behind faint flame tails in the air. Allen's body suddenly flashed with flames, and the warhead exploded and rebounded. Countless tiny metal fragments dragged strands of fire and scattered, turning the infantry soldiers who were rushing at the front into sieves. Whether it was the sword or armor, they were pierced through, causing the hearts of the soldiers behind them to jump in fear, but they helplessly continued to approach the silver-haired Death God.
Alan raised Red King and held the hilt of the knife in his hand. He smiled faintly and drew out his saber.
Red King was finally unsheathed.
Rackett only heard a crisp saber cry. At first, it was inaudible, but in the blink of an eye, it had already resounded throughout the entire mountain path. The streetlights on the mountain path suddenly lit up, and within the bright flames, Rackett could clearly see a semi-circular blade light, and the corner of his eyes twitched.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, the saber light had already turned into a scarlet cloud of fire. The fire clouds spread out and swept past the charging soldiers. They rushed up the mountain path and swept across the ground tens of meters away before extinguishing in front of Rackett.
The soldiers who had been swept by the fire clouds were stunned. The part of them that came into contact with the fire clouds had already turned into nothingness. The surface of the wound was as smooth as a mirror, and even darker than an abyss crystal. It was actually directly carbonized by the high temperature of the fire cloud. After a while, the corpses of the soldiers scattered into seven or eight pieces, and a figure fell in front of Allen. He raised his head and saw that there was nothing else between him and Lecter except the dozens of meters of charred ground!
