"Welcome, Allen … Mr. Allen."
In the open space of the venue, Allen saw Sharon. Sharon's mountain-like image still surprised Allen. Originally, in his imagination, a City Lord whose wife had an affair with a subordinate but was powerless to do so should be melancholy and gloomy. But now, Sharon, who was riding on a tall warhorse in the sun, gave him a forthright aura.
This was far from what Allen had imagined.
He quietly rode his horse forward. The two of them dismounted from their horses in the center of the venue and hugged each other.
After separating, Sharon patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Before I saw you, I always thought that you were lucky to be able to take down Storm City and kick Mo De away. But after seeing you today, I realized that Mo De's luck was too bad. This is not a compliment. Just by looking at the subordinates and soldiers you brought with you, you know your ability. "
Even though he said it wasn't a compliment, there was nothing more comfortable than this compliment. Even Allen felt a little smug. He thought to himself and smiled, "Sir Sharon is overpraising me. Being able to govern a territory for decades and become more and more powerful is what you call a skill. In this regard, I still have to ask the Baron for help. "
Although Allen was moving in the direction of Sir Strength, he was still a Knight under the name of Sur City and the temporary City Lord of Storm City. He still needed some meritorious service to clear his name before he could be conferred the title of Duke with his strength. Before that, he had to be polite in front of a real Sir like Sharon. So Sharon called him Sir, and he had to add the word Sir or Lord to Sharon's name.
Seeing that Allen did not overstep his etiquette, Sharon was very satisfied. At the same time, he overestimated Allen. After all, there were fewer and fewer people who could hold on to their achievements without being arrogant.
What followed was a round of flattery, and then Sharon introduced Allen to the important figures on the Black Iron Castle side. From Guild Leader Knight like Hagrid to a clerk who accompanied him, Sharon said one by one. Allen remembered it in his heart, and he could tell that Sharon was very dissatisfied with Hagrid, because when he talked about Hagrid, he only said a few words. However, when he talked about his guard commander, Tucker, he continuously praised him in order to leave a deep impression in Allen's heart.
Allen stole a glance at Hagrid. The latter lowered his head slightly, his eyes hidden in the shadows of his face, making it impossible to guess his thoughts. However, judging from the situation at the scene, the Black Iron Castle was indeed as rumored, full of internal contradictions.
"Mr. Allen must be tired from the journey. I've already arranged a place for you to rest. I've prepared a banquet tonight. Let's drink and chat merrily tonight. Then, we'll sign the agreement tomorrow. What do you think? "Sha Lang smiled and said.
Allen nodded: "Everything will be arranged by the Baron."
So Hagrid personally led Allen to the stone house prepared for him. A carpet had already been laid here, separating the rough ground. They even arranged for two maids. Not only were they responsible for Allen's daily life here, if Allen had any other needs, they would also try their best to satisfy them.
"Then see you tonight."
Just as Hagrid was about to leave with a smile, Allen suddenly said, "Guild Leader Hagrid, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty to entertain you, Lord. It's not hard work."
Allen had a faint smile on his face. "I mean, Guild Leader Hagrid is working under Sir Sharon … It's hard work."
Hagrid's expression changed slightly as he said seriously, "When I joined the Black Iron Castle, I vowed to give it everything I had. Therefore, all that I have done is of my own free will, and it is not hard at all. "
"Sir Sharon is so lucky to have a Guild Leader like you."
Hagrid smiled bitterly and turned to leave.
Allen watched his figure leave, and he had his own plans in his heart. He had probed a little just now, and from Hagrid's words, he could tell that Guild Leader Knight and Sharon seemed to be in harmony with each other. Hagrid had made it clear that he was doing it for the Black Iron Castle, not for Sir Sharon himself.
In the evening, Hagrid personally invited Allen. This time, Allen did not probe him any further, so as not to make him unhappy. The morning venue had already undergone a simple arrangement. A bonfire was lit in the center of the venue, surrounded by temporary wooden platforms. On the wooden platform, there were soldiers of the Black Iron Castle fighting in groups of two. However, the movements were methodical, but the nature of the performance was more intense.
There were some tables and chairs set up around the venue for spectators. Allen was arranged to sit beside Sir Sharon. Seeing him arrive, Sharon and a group of officials stood up and welcomed Allen to his seat. Allen looked to his left and saw that Regis and the others had already taken their seats. Sharon said, "Mr. Allen, these are all soldiers of my Black Iron Castle. What do you think?"
"Everyone's movements are neat. I think their usual training must be strict." Allen said casually.
Sharon nodded and said, "Guild Leader Hagrid has never lowered his standards in this regard, but Black Cloud Knight is our true pride."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and greeted Allen, "Come, may the border usher in an era of peace."
Allen raised his glass and said, "To the Baron."
Sha Lang burst into laughter and drank a cup of wine first. The others also drank their wine as well. Sharon looked at Hagrid, who nodded and raised his hand to clap. The soldiers performing on the stage lined up, and a moment later, a horse hissed. A Black Cloud Knight rode his horse into the arena. The Knight's entire body was almost lying on the horse's back. The Knight's spear was thrust forward. The man and the horse were one, and they sprinted forward like a rainbow.
The sound of hooves was like thunder!
Allen looked at the people on his side, including Regis. Everyone's expressions were solemn. Obviously, they used this Black Cloud Cavalry as an imaginary enemy, thinking about how their soldiers would deal with the charge of this heavily armored cavalry if they met on the battlefield. The Knight was about to rush onto the platform, but in front of the platform, the warhorse moved horizontally. The Knight suddenly spread out his hands and feet and bounced off the horse. With a heavy armor and a Knight's spear, he landed heavily on the stage. This move was extremely shocking. The change in the scene between movement and stillness caused the soldiers of the Black Iron Castle to burst into thunderous cries.
The Black Cloud Cavalry stood on the stage and waved their spears at the soldiers of Storm City, full of provocation.
Allen smiled at Sharon, who said, "I heard that the Storm City's Raging Thunder Knight Regiment is invincible. It's rare for us to have a chance to get together today. Why don't Mr. Allen broaden the horizons of the soldiers of our Black Iron Castle and let them know that there are people better than them?"
Allen was very clear about the quality of the Raging Thunder Knight Regiment. Apart from a few elite Knights who had reached the standard level, the rest of them were only level five or six cavalry. How could they compare to the Black Cloud Knight, who were all level ten? Moreover, even a standard Knight would not be a match for these heavy Knight in terms of individual quality. Sharon's words were pleasant to hear, but they gave Allen a difficult situation to step down.
Before signing the peace agreement, Sharon clearly wanted to make a show of strength, and his meaning seemed to be somewhat playful. Allen thought for a moment and said, "The Raging Thunder Knight is the original team of Storm City. I have just taken over and am not familiar with this Knight Regiment. Moreover, because of the responsibility of defense, Commander Legg and his elites did not come together. I'm afraid the warriors of Black Iron Castle will be disappointed. "
Sharon looked at the others and a strange expression flashed across his face. Allen looked at it and said, "However, I brought my own army this time." Of course, their average level was only Level 5 or 6, and their usual training was focused on team combat. If Sir Sharon wants to see it, I can let them go, but I need to fight three against one. I wonder if the Baron is interested in seeing my soldiers. "
"Needless to say, even if it's three against one, if they're only at the fifth level, this number is fair. Moreover, we have some advantages." Sharon nodded.
Allen looked at Broy, who stood up and shouted, "Warriors of the King Of Mountains, who is interested in consulting the powerful Black Cloud Knight?"
Immediately, a few loud shouts sounded, and the three Baimeng warriors, led by Tima, walked out. They could be considered the old team of the Mountain Kings, and Broy was very confident in them. With a wave of his hand, Tima and the other two jumped onto the platform.
The three of them wore light armor and held steel shields and warhammers in their hands. Such a combination of weapons was very rare in the border area. If Sharon was just being polite before, now that he saw the three of them, he was really interested. He wanted to take this opportunity to feel out the foundation of Allen's army.
Allen didn't have the same idea. He also wanted to see how the Black Cloud Knight was able to fight off the horse. After Hagrid gestured, the competition on the high platform began.
The Black Cloud Knight attacked first, and the Heavy Knight's entire body emitted a pale green Origin Energy flame. The Knight's spear swallowed the flames. Although it wasn't very bright, it was still quite imposing. In contrast, the King Of Mountains warriors, who were still unable to activate the Origin Energy flames, were much inferior. At least in terms of appearance, the Black Cloud Knight, who was wearing heavy armor and was burning with flames, was even more powerful.
With a loud shout, the Knight tentatively pointed his spear at Tima. This spear strike didn't have the slightest bit of skill. It was purely Origin Energy and spear momentum to kill the enemy. In the eyes of experts, it might not be lethal, but in the face of ordinary infantry on the battlefield, it could pierce through several or even more soldiers with a single spear.
It could be seen that Hagrid had put a lot of effort into this Knight Regiment.
Amidst the loud shouts from the Black Iron Castle, the three of them were not affected at all and responded at the same time. As the main target of the Knight's attack, Tima concentrated all of his Origin Energy on the shield. He lowered his center of gravity and protected the front of his body with the steel shield. The shield tilted slightly forward, so that when the Knight's gun hit the steel shield, it would slide towards Tima's feet because of the tilt of the shield, creating a chance for him to counterattack.
The other two King Of Mountains warriors rolled forward with their shields in their arms. The fine iron warhammers whistled as they greeted the Black Cloud Knight's legs from the left and right sides. The warhammer smashed into the Knight's leg armor. Just by hearing the sound of the warhammer piercing through the air, one could tell that their weight was not light. Even if he couldn't break through the defense with one strike, it would definitely affect the balance of the Knight. At that time, if Tima took the opportunity to counterattack, the Black Cloud Knight would fall into a disadvantageous situation of being attacked on three sides.
The corner of Sharon's mouth twitched slightly. The tacit understanding of the King Of Mountains warriors was completely beyond his expectations.
