In those few scenes, Allen could see some figures filled with a sense of power. Those were humanoid figures, and the shadows were in the flames. One could only see some golden armor through the gaps in the flames, and the patterns on the armor were arrogant and domineering. Just the runes themselves were imbued with boundless battle intent.
That's an army, Allen thought. Then he added, an army waiting to be summoned.
As for who was waiting for the summons, it was unknown. However, Allen was very strange. Why did that will want to send him such a message? Also, if there really was such an army in the depths of the Blood King's Cemetery, then who placed it?
Adahua Planet?
This is very likely. After all, the Blood King's Cemetery could also be a product of the Golden Tree Project. Right now, his understanding of the Golden Tree Project was limited to a king snake base. Even Lucy couldn't find a word about the plan in the Royal Library of Adahua Planet. Perhaps only Adahua Planet, on the other side of time, knew the purpose, process, and result of the plan.
Fares walked over, and Allen temporarily dispelled the fragments and images from his mind. Then, he heard the Guild Leader of the Frozen Moon point ahead and say, "Lord Allen, we will arrive at Greyhound Town tomorrow. I've been to Mosaio before. Greyhound Town is at the entrance to the Dragonbone Plain. It's one of the few towns that the Imperial Hall has to pass through. I've been to Greyhound Town before. The people in the town are very friendly. They can provide us with what we need for our journey at a fair price. "
Allen nodded, "Of course I'm relieved that you're doing things. Now it seems that it was the right decision to ask you to be this guide."
Fares laughed. They were currently on Sentinel Ridge. The terrain of Sentinel Ridge was quite undulating. The highest point of the terrain overlooked Satin City and the Dragonbone Plain. The environment within a hundred kilometers was clear at a glance, so it was called a sentinel. After Sentinel Ridge, one would see the Dragonbone Plain, which was the only way to the Imperial Hall, Mosaio. The Dragonbone Plain was rich in horse bandits. Those horse bandits who came and went like the wind would often rob caravans traveling between Satin City and Mosaio. It wasn't safe even if he took the empire's trade routes. The key was the number of guards.
Thus, small to medium-sized caravans would usually choose to travel in groups to boost their momentum and scare off the Horse Bandits.
"Lord Allen …" Edward walked over and bowed to Allen. In front of outsiders, Edward's manners had always been impeccable. Then, he whispered into Allen's ear, "Behind us, about ten kilometers or so, Copper Blade found some suspicious fellows. Judging from their attire, they should be from a certain assassin organization. They seem to have followed us all the way from Satin City. "
Allen nodded and jumped down the grassy slope. He called out to Regis, who was sitting not far away with a saber in his arms, "Do you want to go exercise with me?"
Regis's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up from the ground. Lola, who was feeding the horses, shouted, "I'll go too!"
"Then let's go together." Allen called Nairi and the twin sisters from the Azure Dragon Knight, picked 20 more warriors, and left the caravan. Under the cover of the terrain of Sentinel Ridge, he quietly crept up on the enemy behind him. This was the second wave of assassins they encountered after leaving Satin City. Ever since they left Satin City, these assassins had begun to appear. Allen wasn't interested in knowing who hired them. In any case, the assassins wouldn't say anything. After all, this was the rule. From the very beginning, Allen had decided to kill for kill. He would kill them until they were afraid, and those guys from the underworld wouldn't dare to accept their commission. Thus, he would naturally achieve his goal.
So far, the real threat to Allen was the assassin who had infiltrated the Horse team the night before they arrived in Satin City, and Allen had almost fallen for it. As for the current ones, Allen didn't mind using them for Regis, Lola, and the others to practice their saber skills. He was just acting together just in case.
Before sunset, Allen and the others returned. Regis and the others only had a few minor injuries on their bodies, but there were more than 20 corpses in a mountain ridge behind them. They were all erected by Allen and placed on the path of the mountain ridge.
Before noon the next day, Allen saw Greyhound Town. It was one of the few towns between Sentinel Ridge and Dragonbone Plain. Greyhound Town wasn't large, and there were about a hundred families in the town. Most of the buildings in the town were gray walls and black tiles. The walls were basically uneven and covered with bluish-yellow patches. The town walls were even lower and didn't seem to have much defense. The roads in the town were paved with stone bricks of varying sizes. It was unknown how long the roads hadn't been repaired. In some places, the stone bricks had been lifted, and weeds occupied the original space.
However, the atmosphere in the town wasn't cold and xenophobic. As the caravan passed through the town, the residents looked at them curiously and smiled kindly.
The caravan stayed in the only hotel in the town. The hotel wasn't big enough to accommodate everyone in the caravan. Thus, Fares went to find the mayor and arranged for the others to stay in a residential area near the hotel. There were few people and things to do in Greyhound Town, so the town seemed quiet and boring. It was spring, and a small river flowed through the town, bringing with it many flowers and leaves that fell from the upper reaches, adding some greenery to the peaceful town.
The evening sun shone on the shallow river. Allen sat on a rock by the river and used a demon dagger to cut a piece of wood into the shape of a galloping horse. A group of children watched curiously. Allen gave the wooden horse to one of the boys. The boy cheered and ran away with the wooden horse. The children cried out and chased the boy through the streets.
Allen smiled. The sunlight shone into his eyes, making his already bright red pupils even redder like autumn maple leaves.
"I've seen many red things in my life. The red in Your Excellency's eyes is probably the most beautiful red I've ever seen in my life." An old voice sounded. Allen didn't need to look up to know that it was the mayor of Greyhound Town. The old mayor walked to Allen's side and said, "My son was lucky today and caught a few beavers. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Your Excellency to taste this mountain game? "
Allen stood up and smiled. "I happen to have some fruit and vegetable bacon here. I'll have to trouble the mayor to handle it for me and add to everyone's dishes tonight."
"Sure, sure."
