Allen and the others walked towards the barracks, followed closely by two thousand Iron Spear Guards.
Hoey had brought the Iron Spear Guards with him, and one of the Ten Saints, Midian, had joined. This was undoubtedly good news for the frontline soldiers. Allen observed Midian from time to time. He hadn't changed much when he met the old Great Wall, but there was a hint of sorrow between his brows. When he was in the imperial capital, he had heard that this Ten Saints expert had an extremely complicated relationship with Mason and his wife. It seemed that this was indeed the case. The sorrow between Midian's brows was probably related to Mason's wife's imminent death.
Midian looked at him, and Allen hurriedly looked away awkwardly. The former smiled and moved to his side. "I haven't seen you for a while, Earl Allen has improved again. No wonder Mason insisted on killing you back then. The Count's potential is truly astonishing. In time, he will definitely have a seat in the Ten Saints. At that time, I will be one of the top ten Saints. "
He smiled, but there was a hint of self-deprecation in his smile.
Allen met his gaze and asked, "Lord Midian's words and actions do not seem to support Grand Duke Mason's actions that day. Since that's the case, why didn't Lord Midian stop him? If the Grand Duke hadn't betrayed the empire, none of that would have happened. "
"I didn't do it for Mason." Midian shook his head and said, "But there's no need to explain the truth to others." I don't care what others think of me. The same goes for Mason. Speaking of which, this is the only point where I can be considered compatible with him. At the very least, even if I wanted to stop Mason, he wouldn't have stopped. Because he was afraid, afraid that if he stopped, he would lose that important person. So he could only bite the bullet and walk forward. In the end, he came to this step … "
He shook his head again, unwilling to say anything else. He quickened his pace and passed through the crowd in front of him, disappearing from Allen's sight.
Footsteps could be heard again.
Julian walked to Allen's side, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Allen, you're right. As long as Mason is willing to stand up and expose to the world that the current Prime Minister of the Empire is the culprit who assassinated my father and caused him to die from serious injuries, the Prime Minister of the Empire will be the one who killed him. Then Howson will not be able to sit firmly on his throne, and because he cooperated with the murderer who assassinated my father, I can even revoke his identity as a prince, and request a trial from the Imperial Court on the charge of accomplice. "
"It's a pity that Mason is still unwilling to appear now, and it's a coincidence that outsiders are invading. I'm afraid Howson will have to stay in the palace for a while longer. When I thought that my father's body could not be buried in the royal cemetery, I wished I could tear that bastard Howson into pieces! "Julian said as he gnashed his teeth. His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent.
"You will have your chance, Your Highness. Midian's arrival is a good start. "Allen said.
Julian nodded and put away his anger. He smiled warmly, "Fortunately, you are here, Earl Allen. I will not forget what you have done. I will remember your loyalty even in the face of powerful enemies for the rest of my life. When I return to the imperial capital and you go north for the second time, I promise you will be Marquis Allen this time! "
Allen thanked him generously.
When they were about to reach the barracks, bugles sounded one after another from the west battlefield. Allen carefully distinguished the length and rhythm of the horn and his expression immediately changed, "The outsiders are going to attack again!"
Julian's expression also became solemn.
In the gray and white mountain camp, the reassembled outsider armies left the camp in groups. The Blade Demons were still wearing simple armor, and the Catus were distributing helmets and steel sabers to them at the entrance of the camp. As soon as he put the helmet on his head, the Blade Demon would shout loudly for his subordinates to descend the mountain, and black waves poured down from the gray and white mountain. The scene of the outsider army marching to the battlefield was like yesterday's replay. Horns, war drums, and the roars of soldiers announced the arrival of war to the humans of the unicorn territory.
The difference was that today, on the huge chariot pulled by several warbeasts, the person standing on the roof platform was no longer the general from yesterday, but another person.
Half of his gray hair danced wildly behind his head in the wind, like thousands of gray vipers. The outsider who had replaced half of his body with metal parts, the dark cloak on his body fluttered like the shadow of the god of death. One of the three Grand Warlords of the Shadow Duchy, Chaos Rebian, was sweeping his pupiless eyes across the army below. His black pupils were as dark as the deepest night. Occasionally, blue lightning flashed, revealing a cold and ruthless aura.
Standing on the chariot, the Grand Warlord, who had once cut off an arm for Tangerio, had now installed a brand new metal arm. He stretched out his hands from his cloak, as if he was holding something invisible, and gradually raised them into the sky.
As a result, from the human camp in the east, the clouds and winds in the west suddenly changed. Gloomy lead clouds gathered from all directions, forming a deep cloud in the sky. Lightning flickered in the cloud, like a heavy rain was about to arrive.
However, anyone with a little insight could tell that it was not a natural phenomenon, but a phenomenon of heaven and earth affected by the might of an expert!
"I smell chaos in the wind …" Midian's silver hair fluttered in the wind. "It's Repian."
"A headache." Hoey narrowed his eyes.
Midian said calmly, "Leave him to me. If I lose, Lord Hoey will take action."
Hoey naturally had no objections. He said to Salon, "Leave the vanguard of today's defensive line to my Iron Spear Guards. We don't have as many troops as the Bucks Army, but the enemy will have to pay the price of blood for every step they take in our steel thorns!"
Salon readily agreed. He jumped onto his horse, pulled out his saber, and shouted in the direction of the barracks, "Bucks Army, go to war!"
A flock of forest birds flew across the sky. They looked down at the ground, and the two tides of outsiders and humans were surging from the east and west. Before they even came into contact, the murderous aura emitted by the two armies shocked the forest birds. There were even a few birds who forgot to flap their wings because of the murderous aura and fell straight down. They fell onto the grass of the battlefield, and before they could flap their wings again, they had already been trampled into meat paste by the Saber Demon soldiers.
Today, there was an expert like Midian and Hoey, who was known as the number one person in the Southern Region. In any case, there was no need for Allen to throw another blazing volcano. Therefore, he brought his subordinates to the artillery position. Today, not only did Hoey bring reinforcements, he also brought a new batch of ammunition, so that the two artillery positions could not be opened without cannons. While the gunners were busy loading the shells and adjusting the cannons, Allen stood at the top of the slope and looked at the sky to the west.
The thick clouds that had gathered in the western sky had already begun to spread in this direction, with a tendency to cover the entire sky. The Origin Energy in space began to become chaotic, and even the Fire Origin Energy that Allen was most familiar with became somewhat uncontrollable. This was Rebian's power. The outsider Grand Warlord with the name of chaos could cause the Origin Energy of the entire battlefield to become chaotic. This was extremely disadvantageous to the human experts, and their combat strength was bound to be weakened as a result.
No wonder Hoey said that Rebian was not the strongest Warlord, but he was the most troublesome one.
With a thought from Allen, the flame marks lit up, and the Fire Monarch suppressed the surroundings. Immediately, the fire origin energy on the position returned to his control. Allen relaxed. At the very least, his Fire Monarch was able to resist Rebian's chaos ability.
At this moment, a grand aura appeared in front of the human position, and Allen sensed it carefully. That might was not as domineering as Tangerio's, nor was it as burning as Mason's. However, it was vast and mighty, and it was only slightly inferior to those two top experts. When this aura rose, the lead clouds that had already spread over the human position suddenly split apart. Golden pillars of light slanted down like giant golden swords.
The giant sword cut through the clouds, and in the end, the golden light continued to shine, dyeing everything on the ground golden. It was as if dusk had arrived early. In the beautiful golden sunlight, someone rose up. That person's silver hair fluttered. Who else could it be other than Midian?
Allen was slightly surprised that Midian had actually taken the initiative to provoke him. Sure enough, after Midian's aura was released, an extremely chaotic aura also soared into the sky from the outsider's side. In that strange aura, Allen sensed scorching flames, cold frost, roaring lightning, deep darkness, and other indescribable strange Origin Energy. Looking up, a stream of light mixed with various colors flew up diagonally, crossing the battlefield and throwing it towards Midian in midair.
The two sides met high in the sky above the battlefield. Immediately, a strange sound rang out, and dazzling flames exploded. The two great experts officially clashed!
No matter how the planet changed, even if the sea rose and the land sank, the sea changed into mulberry fields. However, outside the planet, space was as calm as ever. But today seemed to be an exception. In outer space, which was not a short distance away from Planet Heaven, a translucent ripple suddenly appeared and spread. When the ripple's diameter exceeded a kilometer, it stopped spreading. Then, distorted shadows appeared in space. These shadows seemed to be things that had been stretched. When they shrank and returned to normal, there were already several starships in outer space.
These starships' shells were pitch-black, and there were blue lines flashing on them. One of them was a mother-ship level battleship. It floated quietly in space. In the command room of that battleship, Silfa sat in the captain's seat. The youngest admiral of the Federation was looking at a screen in front of him. It was the image of Planet Heaven.
"What a beautiful planet," Silfa praised sincerely. Silfa praised from the bottom of his heart. In the image, Heavenly Star was a blue planet just like Earth. However, Earth had lost its former beauty. Although the surface environment was constantly recovering, it was unknown how many years of hard work it would take to return to the conditions of the old era.
