The sound of footsteps rang out. Edward and Lucy both looked up. It turned out to be Fares and Rick in black. Seeing their solemn expressions, Edward immediately stood up and asked, "What's the situation?"
Fares nodded and turned slightly to the side. He glanced at Rick and said, "When Rick was patrolling just now, he found a group of people sneaking over here. The leader of the group looked at the flames on our side from time to time. I'm afraid he didn't come with good intentions. "
"How many people are there?" Edward asked again.
Rick said, "Not many, less than 30 people." However, there was one person whose aura wasn't weak. He was at least Level 17 or 18. There were five or six of them who were at Level 13 or Level 14, while the rest were below Level 10. "Ordinary pirates shouldn't be able to produce such a lineup. I don't think it will be a fringe pirate group like the Black Wood Forest, but something from the depths of the Land of Darkness."
"You can be bolder. It should be the wolves of the Evil Tooth Barrier." Edward smiled faintly. "In the evening, Young Master Allen sent back a message that he had already fought with Joy in the Gray Hills during the day, and War Wolf had suffered a loss. It's normal for wolves to come knocking on our door now. "
Fares asked in a deep voice, "Then what are you going to do, Edward?"
"It depends on what the wolves want to do. If they're just observing us in the dark, let them go. If they're in a hurry to die, they'll all be slaughtered. "Edward's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
In a winding mountain path like a sheep's intestine, someone suddenly stopped and raised his head to point at a mountain in the distance. Following the man's hand, one could see the flickering flames on the top of the mountain. The man said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Zach, that's the nest of the Dark Spear. If there were any strangers in the Black Wood Forest recently, it would definitely have something to do with the Dark Spear. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that those old fellows led a caravan up the mountain two days ago. "
Behind this person was a group of pitch-black silhouettes. Someone had emerged from the crowd. Under the cold moonlight beside the road, Zach's eyes shone with a fierce light. He first glared at the hilltop, then stretched out his hand and lifted the person in front of him. "Don't lie to me. If I don't find anything, you'll be eliminated!"
That person was the leader of one of the bandits in the Black Wood Forest, but in front of a fierce person like Zach, he was as docile as a cat or dog. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no. How could I dare to lie to you? Sir, this matter is absolutely true!"
"It better be so." Zach let go of him and pushed him to the side. "You can go back now. There's nothing else for you to do."
The man repeatedly acknowledged and did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately went into the dense forest beside the road. However, he still looked back gloatingly, thinking that Dark Spear was in trouble this time. He didn't know how those old things had provoked War Wolf. If he was targeted by the wolves this time, there would probably only be some bones left in the stronghold tomorrow, right?
Looking at Zach, who was like a demon god in the darkness, he muttered, "Maybe not even the bones will be left."
Only then did he not leave.
On the mountain path, Zach looked at the flickering mountain top and narrowed his eyes. "I've finally caught you after half a night of travel. How dare you provoke our War Wolf? You're really courting death. Let's go up the mountain and kill them all! "
After meeting Mégis, Joy ordered Zach to find out the whereabouts of Allen's group. Originally, this kind of job would have been more suitable for Gunn, but when Mégis visited, people like Gunn were needed on the Evil Tooth Barrier, so the job fell to Zach. However, Zach, this barbaric bull, would not frown when he fought with others, but when it came to searching, it was not his forte.
Fortunately, Gunn reminded him to find one or two bandits in the Black Wood Forest. These bandits were not strong enough, but their eyes and ears were still there. If there were strangers in the Black Wood Forest, they would definitely not be able to escape their eyes. Zach did as he was told and let him find him. Zach worshipped his adoptive father like a god. Seeing that Joy was injured, Zach was more anxious to take revenge than Joy himself. Now that he had found him, Zach had already forgotten Joy's original orders. His mind was filled with the terrifying scene of blood splattering all over the ground.
At this moment, Zach's entire body was filled with ferocity, and no one dared to ruin his mood at this time. However, a figure still appeared behind him. This person was wearing armor and was completely different from ordinary werewolves. The man braced himself and said, "Lord Zach, Lord Joy's orders don't seem to be like this …"
At the end of his sentence, Zach had already grabbed his neck with one hand. Zach gradually raised his hand and lifted the man's legs off the ground. The man's face immediately flushed red and his legs kicked wildly. Zach stared at him and said, "If you weren't an Iron Wolf Guard, you'd be a corpse by now. Of course I knew what my father's orders were, but I also knew who those people were. They were the ones who had harmed his father, the great Undying Joy. There's no need for Father's order at all. You should also know that. Anyone who dares to oppose us, War Wolf, must die! "
Then he threw away the Iron Wolf Guard and pointed at the top of the mountain. "Now, follow me, if you think of yourselves as wolves, not as dogs with their tails between their legs!"
Wolf howls suddenly rang out on the mountain path.
Zach took the lead and strode along the mountain path towards the top of the Dark Spear. Behind him, several Iron Wolf Guards and other wolf bandits followed closely. The Iron Wolf Guard who had been thrown to the ground by Zach coughed violently and looked at the disappearing group. He could only shake his head and sigh, but he had no choice but to follow them. Even in his opinion, it was unwise and foolish for Zach to disobey Joy's orders. However, here, he didn't dare to disobey Zach. Just now, he had already shown his courage to dissuade him.
A thunderclap!
Joy suddenly sat up, his back drenched in cold sweat. A flash of lightning flashed through the open window and quickly flashed into the distance behind the clouds in the night sky. A gust of wind blew in from outside the window, carrying a moist mist of water. It was a sign that a heavy rain was coming. Joy's face was illuminated by the lightning. He took a few deep breaths and groped his way out of bed. He picked up a glass of cold water from the cabinet before he got up and poured it into his stomach. Only when the cold water flowed into his body did he calm down.
He hadn't dreamed for a long time, but just now, he had an incomparably real nightmare. He dreamed that his son, who had been sent out of the Land of Darkness, was killed and his corpse pierced through a spear. He could only kneel helplessly in front of the corpse and cry bitterly. Then he woke up. That dream was incomparably real, and Joy could even smell the rotting corpse.
However, there was only a faint fragrance of flowers in the room.
The fragrance of flowers came from the beauty on the bed.
Margaret.
The woman who had been lost and regained curled up into a ball, revealing a thigh that was like white jade from the sheets. Her posture was tempting, but Joy had no intention of conquering her at all. Apart from the injuries on Joy's body, it was also because of the boulder that was pressing down on his heart.
Joy knew that if he didn't get rid of the man named Allen, his dream was likely to become a reality. Thinking of this, Joy clenched his cup in fear. With a crack, the water glass was crushed by him. He patted off the fragments in his palm, put on a robe, and pushed open the door.
Outside the door, two Iron Wolf Guards were dozing off against the wall, and Joy kicked them over. The guard hurriedly got up, his face filled with anger. However, when he saw Joy, his anger turned into shock. Joy pulled one of them forward and shouted, "Go see if Zach is back!"
The guard left as if he was running for his life.
Joy did not return to his room. He felt vaguely uneasy. Zach set off in the afternoon. It was enough time for him to run back and forth. After all, he was riding a fast horse. But there was no news of him yet. If he came back, Joy believed that his adopted son would report the situation in the Black Wood Forest to him as soon as possible.
Joy muttered, "Perhaps I should let Gunn go. Zach, that bull, is sometimes stubborn …"
The sound of footsteps rang out, and Joy raised his head. Not only did the Iron Wolf Guard return, he also brought Gunn with him. Gunn gestured, and the two Iron Wolf Guards hurriedly left. Then, he said to Joy, "Father, Zach hasn't returned yet. Do you want me to send someone to pick him up?"
"No need. It's too late for anything to happen if we set off now." Joy waved his hand, "Forget it, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, send someone to the Black Wood Forest to take a look. "
"Do I need to go myself?"
"No, if even Zach dies there, I'm afraid you'll be the same. I'm afraid it's the same if you go. Gurus betrayed me and wanted Zach not to come back tonight. Then you're the only one left by my side, Gunn. I don't want anything to happen to you. "
Gunn nodded.
Joy seemed to be tired as he turned around and walked back to his room. Looking at his back, a strange feeling arose in Gunn's heart.
Perhaps his adoptive father was no longer the Undying Joy, but just an ordinary old man. However, Gangen shook his head and warned himself in his heart that he must not have such thoughts. If Joy knew that he had such thoughts, then he would no longer be important. Gunn was not Zach, and he knew very well how suspicious this old man was. Including him, they, the adopted sons, were just tools.
Tools can't have ideas.
After the door was closed, Gunn left and ordered the two Iron Wolf Guards to serve him carefully. As he passed through a corridor, another thunderbolt came from outside the window, and lightning flickered. Gunn narrowed his eyes, thinking that the bull might not be able to come back.
Then it rained.
Downpour!
The sudden heavy rain made Zach's eyes almost unable to open, and his eyes were filled with a faint color of blood. He wiped his face, but a slanted wound on his forehead was still bleeding profusely. Blood slowly flowed down his eyebrows, mixing with the rain and blurring Zach's eyes. Zach gasped for breath. He could clearly feel that his physical strength and Origin Energy were close to their limits, and he was even more aware that the wounds on his body had caused him to lose a lot of blood.
However, he still refused to fall, or rather, he was unwilling to fall just like that.
