Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 964: Three Options

There were thirteen dead men in the hall.

Even if he was thrown into the Night Walking Black Wolf Army, he would still be able to defeat a hundred experts. There were 13 or 14 times the weakest amongst them, and the leader was at least at the 23rd level. However, what these people were afraid of was not their level, but their cold hearts that were ready to die.

Qiao Mo swept his gaze over them and said indifferently, "You should know that when you were transferred out of the Black Wolf Army, there was no possibility of returning?"

The man in the lead was tall, shoulder-wide, hand-long, but his face was yellow, and he looked like he was malnourished. However, it did not give off a feeling of disaster. Instead, the figure standing in the hall would occasionally be blurry for a moment. If an expert wanted to lock onto his location, he would definitely find it difficult to do so. Hearing this, the corners of the man's mouth curved into an arc, "Dead men should die. Why would they join our Black Wolf Army if they were afraid of death? Lord Qiao Mo doesn't need to say anything more. He just needs to tell us who he wants to kill."

The man looked around and revealed his white teeth. "We've all received great kindness from Marshal Roderick. It's worth it for us to be able to repay him with our lives," he said.

"From now on, you are number one. Everyone else can use rows two to thirteen." Qiao Mo walked to the window and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance. "I know you guys are ready to die, but there are still some things I have to tell you."

"This time, I have been entrusted by the First Prince to come to Spear City to observe the ceremony. First, I want to give this old fellow Hoey some face. Second, I want to meet the young man who has already been placed in the center of the Wind Eye. The former is for His Highness Hawson, while the latter is instigated by Lord Roderick." Qiao Mo said in a low voice, "Your Excellency has given him a chance to choose, and I want to see how he chooses. Your Excellency once said that if this person agrees immediately, he will bring him back to be a dog. If he hesitates for a few days before accepting or rejecting, it means that this person is not strong-willed enough to accomplish great things, then let him go."

Number One revealed his white teeth and smiled, "Looks like that guy chose an answer that gave both adults a headache."

"That's right. He refused on the spot. There was no hesitation or emotion fluctuation. He was as calm as if he was saying the answer he had thought of." Jomo turned around and shook his head. "Lord Roderick said that if he was the third reaction, then this person couldn't stay. If such a person were to arrive in the capital, it would definitely be a fatal blow to Ollis Gary's delicate balance. With such a variable, Lord Roderick wouldn't be able to play so easily with the cards in his hand."

"Then, let's go tonight?"

Jomo nodded. "Tonight, this Viscount Allen still has a hundred or so guards in his hand. If we give him the chance to leave Spear City, it will make it harder for us to deal with him."

Number One frowned, "But under Hoey's nose …"

"It's fine. What they want is to be unexpected. They would never have thought that you would dare to kill someone in Spear City. As for fighting with Hoey, there's no need for you to worry. Afterwards, I will push you all clean. After all, you are already dead. Moreover, it's time to give this iron spear a warning …"

Number One laughed, "That's enough, my lord. We'll never see each other again."

With a wave of his hand, the thirteen of them left the hall like a tide. Qiao Mo narrowed his eyes and looked out of the sunny window, but it was as if he could smell the aura of death rushing towards his face.

Twilight.

Edward came to a restaurant near the street in Gun City. The restaurant itself was not very famous. Adding on its remote location, there were naturally not many guests there. However, due to the recent wedding in Orlando, the flow of people in Yedega had increased dramatically. Even this kind of second-and third-rate restaurant also had a lot of guests. Although it was still not empty, there weren't many empty tables and chairs.

Alan had already booked a private room on the third floor, and with his name on it, there was naturally a waiter leading Edward to the room.

Pushing open the door of the private room, there was only a table and four chairs in the small room of more than ten square meters, but Allen was the only one who sat down. When he saw Edward arrive, he waved his hand and smiled at the waiter, "Time to serve."

The door closed and Edward took off his coat and sat down. He poured himself a glass of water and drank a mouthful before saying, "I have Dark Blade investigate. When that old black civet entered the city, there was a group of extraordinary people beside him. I think it should be the so-called mad dogs that Kao mentioned." However, after entering the city, there was no news of these people. I was afraid of alarming them. In addition, this is the place where the iron spear is. I also dare not let Dark Blade dig deeper. "

"You can't dig it out, can you?" '"After all, our Dark Blade is a newbie, so how could it be so easy to dig out information? Let me guess, since Qiao Mo is the chief of staff of the Black Wolf Army, the experts in the army are naturally also figures of the Black Wolf Army."

"What's there to guess …" Edward gave him a look.

With a knock on the door, the waiter pushed the dining cart in, presented an exquisite dish, and poured wine for the two before leaving with a smile.

"We'll talk while we eat." Ellen didn't hesitate to start with a mint-fried lamb chop. "It tasted good. Since you said that there was nothing to guess about the identities of the masters in the army, why don't you guess when these mad dogs will attack?" He nodded his head after sending a small piece into his mouth and chewing so much gravy that it overflowed. "It tastes pretty good. Since you said that there's nothing to guess about the identities of those mad dogs in the army, why don't you guess?"

"I definitely won't wait for you to appear in front of the Northern Capital Gate." Edward said indifferently.

"Nonsense."

"Alright, I guess when we get out of Iron Spear Ridge, we'll be able to experience the Black Wolf Army's battle prowess." Edward said casually.

Ellen laughed, "Tell me first how many of these experts are there?"

"Eleven or twelve? In short, there won't be too many. Otherwise, it will attract too much attention."

"That's right." Alan sliced off a piece of lamb chop with his knife and said, "It's not enough for us to share."

Edward smiled and said, "You must die of anger if you let others hear you."

"However, this is the truth." Alan shrugged.

Of course, this was the truth, aside from the strength of the hundred-man guard. Alan was definitely one of the experts that could be picked up by the northward team this time. Then there were Laura, Regis, Lucy, Adele, and five Green Dragon Knight, and there were ten of them. As for Edward, the number of times he attacked could be counted as half. Therefore, if the Black Wolf Army sent out eleven or twelve experts from the army, unless there were generals among them, it would really be like what Alan had said.

Not enough points!

Moreover, as far as Allen was concerned, if an expert below the Earl's combat strength didn't have a special ability, he could sweep through the entire area by himself. Therefore, no matter what, even if Qiao Mo released those mad dogs, they wouldn't be able to threaten him at all. Instead, they would only fuel Alan's arrogance towards the north.

Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "Things probably won't be that simple. If that's all, then Black Civet and Roderick will be fine, but they'll be too easy to deal with."

"Isn't this good? I'd rather the enemy be stupid, and even stupider."

"But that's not the case." Edward thought for a moment and said, "If I were Jomo, I would have to seize an unexpected opportunity to make a move to gain the effect of a Wizard Armament if I were only able to make a move with such a small number of people."

Alan said casually, "That's easy. Maybe they'll attack at night. We definitely wouldn't have thought of attacking in Spear City … Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't you think that Qiao Mo really intends to make a move in Gun City?" Alan was finally shocked.

Edward crossed his fingers and said, "It's not impossible, because this is an opportunity that no ordinary person would ever think of. It's hard to say, but if it was an Empire Marshal, I think he would still dare to use such a move. Not only would it give us a pleasant surprise, it would also give us the face of Hoey, or even our Second Prince in the Imperial Capital."

"Looks like I'm really a crow's mouth." Alan shook his head.

Edward smiled faintly and said, "I don't think so. This gives you no intention of explaining Jomo's plan. I think you're the one in charge."

"Whatever." Alan took a bite of the lamb chop and patted his stomach, "As long as Jomo dares to deliver it to me, I will dare to eat it. Let's treat it as an appetizer."

"That's right, what I want is your aura."

Ellen laughed and tilted his head to look at Edward. "Tell me, what reward do you want when I get duked? I don't think I can get a marquis, but the count can. Otherwise, I'll give you another duke's duke's duke's duke."

"Should I remind you not to get too smug? Before you even took a step out of the Southern Domain, you were already busy giving rewards based on your merits?" Edward shook his head and smiled, his expression solemn. "Besides, the Count, Baron, doesn't mean much to me. What I want …"

He suddenly stopped.

"Go on."

"What are you talking about? It's still too early to talk about this. Don't worry, if I feel that the time is right, I will ask you for help. I'm afraid that you won't agree, or dare not agree?"

Ellen muttered, "Then should I directly reject you now, so that you won't cheat me again in the future?"

"The man who wants to pull the emperor off the throne, is that all?"

"Don't set me up, brat, I'm not fooled by you. Also, don't say such nonsense in the future. Do you know what caution means?"

After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant with stars in the sky. Ellen kicked Edward, "Come back with me?"

"Can I leave Xiao En and the others behind? I have to make some arrangements. Besides, didn't you say that there aren't enough people? I won't join them." Edward looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Actually, the safest way is to remind our Marquis of the Iron Spear."

"How can I remind him that Qiao Mo is going to send someone to kill me tonight? Lord Hoey, save me?" Alan shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this is just our own guess. Maybe the black beaver is really cowardly and doesn't dare to make a move. Aren't we going to be villains?"

"That's right. However, if we do make a move, we might as well make a big noise. The bigger the better." Edward said with a smile.
