Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 318: Base Oneself On

In terms of true strength, Baku couldn't even catch up to Caesar. But Caesar had never thought that his brother, who had sacrificed his life two years ago to block the saber and sword for him, would stab his blade at him tonight. Baku pulled out his saber and clenched it with both hands, wanting to stab it again. Caesar roared angrily as his Origin Energy surged, and the crystal spear in his hand shot out like lightning.

Baku could only slash his saber horizontally and hack at the tip of the spear. The Origin Energy of both sides collided fiercely on the tip of the spear. Baku was defeated and his entire body was sent flying backwards. Caesar also felt a wave of weakness. He could not hold the Crystal Spear and let it escape. Baku spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up again with his saber in hand. Caesar glanced at him and took advantage of the chaos to leave.

The battle ended before dawn. The troops of Storm City withdrew in an orderly manner under Legg's command. The Guards Left behind were very brave, desperately pulling the Baymond warriors away from their pursuit. In the end, this Guards Legion also died tragically.

In this battle, Storm City had left the corpses of over 200 soldiers behind, and the Bymonds had paid the price of half of the soldiers' sacrifices. In contrast, Allen's men could only survive. However, first, they did not participate in the direct confrontation with Storm City, and second, the soldiers were well-equipped. This outcome was within Allen's expectations.

The only thing that surpassed his expectations was Caesar's death. When Baku raised Caesar's crystal spear and announced that the leader had been killed by Storm City's army, Alan even doubted his ears. Afterwards, the Bymonds searched for Caesar's corpse, leaving Alan with more questions.

However, Allen did not raise any questions about the hostile Baku. He just left quietly with his men.

After returning to their stronghold in the Arth Mountains, Edward and Belmore secretly arrived in Sur City. Because of Baron York's death in battle, Ethan, who was related to him by blood, officially inherited his title and power the day after the Baron's corpse was buried under the support of the empire's constitution. However, this was not enough for Ethan to stabilize his position as City Lord. He still needed to make more achievements or contributions in order to ensure that he would remain in this position until he grew old.

Otherwise, the empire could appoint someone else to become the master of Sur City. Of course, the premise was that the Bailey Empire would pay attention to this border area.

After Ethan became the new Baron, Edward met him quietly. After that, Baron Ethan had a Belmond next to him. He will stay behind to protect Ethan through a turbulent period of transition between old and new powers. Sure enough, in the next few days, there were two attacks against Ethan in the City Lord's Mansion. Both of them were successfully stopped by Belmore.

He was originally a master of assassination, but in Sur City, no one's assassination skills were better than Belmond's. Naturally, those small tricks could not escape the eyes of this dark master. With his protection, Ethan was very safe. At the same time, through Belmond, Ethan was able to intuitively understand Edward and the strength of Young Master Allen behind him for the first time.

Ethan knew very well that since Belmond could protect him. If necessary, he could kill himself without any hesitation. Soon, the identity documents concerning Allen and the others were issued. Allen and the others all had legal identities in Sur City. The imperial seal on the identity card was enough to allow Alan and the others to pass through the borders of the Bailegang Empire without any obstruction.

After receiving this news, Allen and the others began to pack their things and prepare to officially enter Sur City. They camouflaged the starship and left two soldiers to guard it. As for the others, including the logistics team, they were all taken away by Ellen, and they could play other roles in Sur City. In order to show his importance, Ethan also sent a few carriages for Ellen and the others to use. Ellen was also happy to hide some things that were out of place in this world, such as magical armor and fire rifles in the carriage.

The soldiers took off their armor and related weapons, changed into the clothes and swords Edward brought, and disguised themselves as the guards of the caravan. As the convoy set off, Alan glanced in the direction of the Arth Mountain Range. He had finally completed his first step of establishing his foothold in the new world.

Baku slid down from the crown of an old tree and watched the convoy leave. Under the tree, more than a dozen Baymond warriors also witnessed what happened at the foot of the mountain. Baku pointed with Caesar's crystal spear and said, "See? I told you that these people are colluding with Sur City. Look, they are riding in Sur City's carriage. Caesar's death must have something to do with them!"

"Now that Caesar is dead, please lead us, Baku. We will avenge Caesar!" Said a Baymond warrior in a deep voice.

'"Yes, Caesar's vengeance can't be let go. But my brother, we can't do anything to those people by ourselves. No, even if we gather the strength of others, we can't do it. Unless " Baku said in a low voice, "Unless I enter the ancestral tomb and release the demons!"

Warriors, look at me, look at you. The warrior from before gritted his teeth and said, "We support you, Baku. Let the devil destroy that city!"

Baku gripped the crystal spear tightly and said, "Go gather everyone. We need to talk to Vajra."

The carriage was shaking, making people really worried whether it would fall apart in the next moment. Before there was a vehicle like a car, there was naturally no such thing as a shock-proof system. Therefore, traveling on a bumpy road was far from comfortable.

"Maybe we can build the world's first car." "Throw me out of here," said Alan, leaning on the window frame of the carriage.

Edward, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Then you have to get in touch with Earth first, and then get the exact coordinates of the planet. Then you can pull in the people and resources involved. You can build even airships, not to mention cars. That way, we will expand much faster."

"That's not impossible, but with the current military power of this planet, let alone an airship, as long as we can build tanks and chariots, we can completely change the war situation on this planet." "But I think we should build an arsenal in Sur so that we can make standard guns and ammunition first, which is much easier than a war chariot," Allen said.

"We're lucky. This is the border of the empire. At least, it won't attract too much attention." Edward said.

"Speaking of empires" Allen said in a deep voice, "You've been to many planets. Have you seen any humans other than Earth?"

Edward shook his head.

"So I find this very strange. Why are there humans on this planet and their civilization is very similar to ours?" Alan looked out of the window and said, "I always feel like there's a secret on this planet. A huge secret!"

"Even if we do, we have to wait until we are strong enough before we are qualified to explore." "I find your arsenal more troublesome than the unknown secret," Edward said. "Don't forget that the productivity of the world is still in handicraft workshops. I bet they don't even know what a machining machine is. I wonder how your arsenal will be built."

Ellen laughed and said, "It all depends on people, and don't you think we don't need to do all the work? Don't forget the humans on this planet. There must be some intelligent people among them. They only lack a bit of inspiration and a bit of civilized fire. Let's start the fire, I think, from Sur City."

"I only hope that this world will not be burned to ashes." Said Edward.

Suddenly the carriage stopped and Alan asked, "What's going on?"

The soldier outside the window replied, "It's a man, Young Master. Someone is lying in the middle of the road."

Alan jumped out of the carriage and a soldier had already stepped forward. In front of the carriage, a person was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Alan stepped forward. When the soldier turned the man over, Alan was stunned and said, "Caesar?"

It was Caesar, who had been missing for many days. Hearing Alan's voice, he barely opened his eyes. His dry, blistering lips moved, but he quickly closed his eyes. Alan saw that there were wounds on his body. The wounds were sticking to some leaves and looked like some kind of herb. But that could not cure Caesar's injuries. Alan hurriedly stepped forward and found that Caesar's body temperature was frighteningly high when he touched his body.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers to move Caesar under the shade of the trees beside the road, and had Father Miro called over. The priest did not rush over, for with his inconsummate medical skills, he could not deal with a wound of Caesar's caliber. He could only do a check-up, then take out an emergency needle from Alan's own kit and give it to Caesar, and say, "We have to send him to the city. This kind of injury can't be treated here."

Alan nodded and told the soldiers to put Caesar in the carriage. Looking at Caesar, Edward frowned and said, "Why is he here?"

"I guess we won't know until he wakes up." Said Alan.

At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at Sur City. "Our new mayor knows how to bribe people," said Edward, who was singing and dancing in Saul. "Hey, he cut Saul's tax bill by half. Everyone in the city is in favor of him now, and even those who have a problem with him don't dare to do anything in this situation. Otherwise, it will cause public indignation."

Edward got off the carriage at a crossroads and said, "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion first. No accidents will happen. You'll be able to have dinner with Sir Ethan tonight."

"Say hello to the Baron for me." Alan smiled.

Edward nodded.

The convoy finally stopped in front of a large mansion. This could be said to be the wealthy area of Sur City. Although it was only a two-storey building, it occupied a large area, and there was even a small plaza. The house belonged to a former great merchant in the city, who went bankrupt and mortgaged it to Baron York. Now it was naturally Ethan's property. Ethan had someone clean the house in advance and arranged for a few servants for Alan and the others to order them around.

Alan jumped out of the car, and Lucy and Adele came over from behind. He pointed at the house and said, "Look, this is our home from now on."
