Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 954: What Should and Shouldn't Have Come

["The lord of the Black Twilight Territory is Earl Kent, the man who had been flirting with Mountain City Rackett. Black Mu's army was not comparable to Mountain City, but Kent's territory happened to be sandwiched between Mountain City and Ark Harbor. If the two of them worked together, it would be very disadvantageous to Fang Zhou Port. Earl Orban also asked us to help Ark Harbor solve this horned situation. At that time, he was threatened by Daniel. He was enemies with all his eyes. The situation was terrible. "

In the middle of the Bloodthorn Ridge, Alan and Orlando each rode a war horse and walked side by side along the mountain path. The trees on both sides were towering, and the dark red bushes on the roadside would always hook the passing horses. Therefore, the horses were wrapped tightly around their hooves. Otherwise, if they passed through the mountains, the flesh and blood of the hooves of these tall horses would be muddled. Yesterday, a group of vagrant bandits who had fled from the Black Twilight Territory to the Bloodthorn Mountain Ridge attacked the camp, so they naturally ran into ashes. Today, when Alan asked about Black Twilight Ridge, Orlando told him the truth.

"In that case, I came at a good time." Alan smiled.

Orlando nodded and said, "Indeed, Orban's difficulty at that time was that he did not lack financial resources, nor did he lack the army. He only lacked strong men who could charge into the front lines." Your arrival immediately made up for this deficiency. Especially after you killed Daniel's number one Duruf, your importance became even more obvious. "As for Daniel, he was defeated and Mountain City was cleaned up by you recently. The horns of Ark Harbor have long been unbreakable."

Since the Iron Spear Marquis had a personal relationship with Julian, he naturally knew what Allen had done in Mountain City. Moreover, Hoey himself was the strongest expert in the Southern Region. If he didn't even know about his activities in Mountain City, then it would be too inexcusable.

Allen thought for a moment and said, "Then it's Count Kent's turn to have a headache. Now that Iron Spear Ridge and Ark Harbor are married, the Dark Twilight Territory, which is sandwiched between you, is having a hard time."

"It should be, before we had a series of plans to deal with the Black Mu Territory, but later stranded useless. Afterwards, he heard that Count Kent seemed to have given up on himself. Without Rackett as an ally, Count Kent didn't want to make any progress. The sudden increase in tax revenue in the past six months has forced the people of the territory to the point that they cannot survive. There are also a large number of merchants pouring out of the territory, the largest group being absorbed by our Iron Spear Guards and the rest scattered into Ark Harbor and your territory. Orlando smiled and said, "The Dark Twilight Territory is now in a mess. The local Imperial Overwatch Council cannot continue watching it and has already reported it to the Northern Capital." "It seems that it won't be long before Hei Mu understands that the empire will interfere, so it's not surprising for him to change his lord."

The empire rarely interfered in the affairs of Lords, let alone changing Lords. The Empire was a martial power, so it could turn a blind eye to the fights between Lords for territory, but it would not allow Lords to raise their territory taxes at will. In the words of the first emperor of the empire, "If you want to make a fortune in your territory, go ahead and fight for yourself. As for those weak people who will only exploit their own people, scram!"

Therefore, if such a situation occurred in the Black Twilight Territory, and the lord ignored the warnings and suggestions of the local Overwatch Council, then the empire would interfere.

If Earl Kent were to fall into the hands of the empire, it would undoubtedly become the biggest joke in the hundred years of the Southern Border. Orlando was laughing too, but he couldn't laugh anymore. A loud noise came from the front of the group, and a few more angry roars sounded out. Orlando furrowed his brows and took a look at the horse. Alan gestured to Regis to stay behind to look after the carriage while he rode off behind Orlando.

Suddenly, a violent aura surged in front of the group. This aura was fierce and violent, and there was a scorching smell in the air. It was clear that the opponent's Origin Energy was biased towards the fire attribute. When Orlando and Alan arrived, they saw seven or eight soldiers lying on the ground, their entire bodies emitting black smoke, like charred corpses roasted by blazing flames. Orlando snorted and looked ahead. Two Iron Spear Guards were shooting at each other.

The opponent's entire body emitted a mist-like flame, and he couldn't see his face for a moment. He saw two hands stretched out from the flames and grabbed two shots. A wave of heat surged up along the spear, and the spear turned red inch by inch. The two Iron Spear Guards let go with a muffled groan, and their palms burned to the point of sizzling. The person in the flames laughed heartily, his voice old. The two spears in his hands that glowed with red light turned around and threw them at the Iron Spear Guards.

Orlando's eyes turned cold as he wiped his hand on the Jade Lightning Spear beside the horse. The spear turned into a green streak of lightning and shot towards the left side of the spear. As soon as he pressed down on the horse's head, he also jumped out and punched the spear to the right, blasting it away. After landing on the ground, he stretched out his hand to copy, and the invisible force field wrapped around Bi Lei and bounced back into his hand. Orlando had a gun in his hand, and his Qi kept climbing and accumulating. As Bi Lei pointed at the ball of flames, bursts of imposing aura continued to surge towards that person.

Thunder rang out from nowhere, crackling non-stop. Many crimson thorns exploded, and wood powder flew everywhere.

Allen did not jump out of the limelight like Orlando did. He obediently rolled over and dismounted. Looking at Red King, who was hanging beside the horse, he took it down and held it in his hand. Carrying Red King to Orlando, Alan narrowed his eyes and whispered, "What a great atmosphere."

That ball of fire was filled with an old man, at least sixty years old. A bald head with a big red beard. Not only was his beard scarlet red, even his eyebrows were red and purple. This old man is tall and big. Although he is old, he does not give off the impression of an old man at all. Especially when he had a long saber on his back and two fires stabbed into his waist. The gun looked like a robber who specialized in robbery in the mountains.

However, Ellen believed that none of the bandits in the Bloodthorn Mountain Ridge had a fierce hand that was as tough as an old man's. This person's flame-like aura was vast and tyrannical, at least he had a Level 25 or Level 6 aura. No matter where he lost this level, he wouldn't be a nobody. Moreover, he dared to intercept this team, clearly showing that he wasn't afraid of the reputation of Hoey the Iron Spear.

Alan looked at Orlando, who had a helpless smile on his face. This old fellow's name was Gabe. He used to be the leader of one of the largest bandit groups in the Iron Spear Ridge, the Fire Demon. Because of his Origin Energy leaning towards the Fire element, he was nicknamed the Fire Demon. This old fellow publicly provoked my father when he succeeded the Iron Spear Lords. Afterwards, he was surrounded by my Xue Qingfang Gang's father and his army. This Fire Devil was also seriously injured in that encirclement. However, the old fellow took advantage of this to run away. He hadn't heard from me for ten years. He thought that he had changed his appearance to hide from the calamity. He didn't expect that this old fellow would come back to seek revenge the moment I was born. "

When the old man saw Orlando, he narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Son of Hoey, this time without the protection of your old man's spear, I'll see where you can hide." Don't think that I don't know that Hoey was hanging far behind you when you left, trying to lure me out. This daddy isn't that stupid yet, so why don't you just hide and see you and your son? "Right now, Old Hoey is probably waiting for you to return from Iron Spear Ridge. I wonder how satisfying it would be if he waited for your corpse."

Orlando smiled instead of being angry, "Old man, you can still laugh. You bastard tried to kill me every once in a while since I was born, but I've been alive for the past twenty years. It's you, you were even with my father back then, and you haven't improved at all. I think you've lived your life on a dog, haven't you?"

Alan was amused. He didn't know how much weight the Son of the Iron Spear had, but his mouth was poisonous and damaging. No, some fire fiend over there was already so angry that he stared at her with his beard blown open, and he was just about to scream and rush over.

After Orlando finished speaking, he whispered to Allen, "This must be the worst expert I've ever seen. He didn't dare to challenge my father, he only dared to attack me. He even threatened to kill me before my father, so that my father could experience the pain of losing his son." We were helpless to provoke such a mad dog, but this fellow went crazy, but he was also very cunning. He was right just now. I expected that Gable would come to cause trouble when I came to Ark Harbor this time. When I set off from the Iron Spear Leader, my father hung behind Gable and hooked him up. I didn't expect him to be fooled, so I'm not surprised that he'll show up on this trip back. "

Alan said casually, "Since that's the case, isn't Marquis Hoey going to send you a few experts to protect you? Or is it that your Eldest Young Master Orlando has the ability to take down this Fire Devil?"

Orlando smiled and said, "The old man wanted to do this, but I said no. There's no need for me to explain the reason. There's no need for an expert bodyguard to stand in his way, knowing that Lord Alan was accompanying him."

Alan rolled his eyes, thinking that the rogue beside him had already reached a certain level.

Orlando seemed to have Ellen's amulet on him, and he shouted confidently, "Gabe, you want to intercept me? You don't have the qualifications yet. Don't think that no one can stop you just because my father isn't here. Why don't you make a bet with me and see who will die here today?"

At the end of the old man's reply, another melodious voice sounded, "Of course a Gable doesn't have the qualifications, but with me, I'm afraid he's barely enough. Young Master Orlando wants to bet? Yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the bet."

The old man, known as the Fire Devil, snorted and turned around. Behind him, a figure slowly walked over. It was a man wearing a black fur coat. Not to mention his handsome appearance, the moment he appeared, a faint smell of blood floated on the mountain path, and killing intent filled the air.

Orlando narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "The one who should have come, the one who shouldn't have come, is also here. Even if I beat them to death, I wouldn't believe that the two of them just happened to collide."

Alan looked at the man behind him and said in a deep voice, "Who is this, your enemy?"

Orlando looked at Ellen with astonishment and said, "You don't know who he is? Lord Alan, you killed his son. I thought his father had sent him back, but I didn't expect him to be here."

Speaking of which, Alan knew who the other party was.

Bloody Earl Eric!

A man who shouldn't have come out here.
