The sky was quietly becoming gloomy.

Large gray clouds gradually covered the sky, blocking out the midday sun, making the sky light falling in the Black Iron Fort very oppressive and heavy. This black city is gasping like an overwhelmed old man. The pressure came from the fight between Sir Sirloin and Hagus, and the two rose from a secret fight to an open one, which was nothing short of a terrible thing for the people who lived in the city.

Because their sons, husbands, or fathers, are in Sharon's army, or in the Black Cloud Knights. And no matter who emerges victorious in the end, it is conceivable that it will only be them who will shed blood and suffer.

Horses galloped across the city's avenues, and from time to time men and women emerged from the dark houses, all with frightened expressions on their faces. Alan took in the faces, and read from their faces the desire to end the fight.

Black Iron Fort is a rugged city, but its urban layout is just as simple and intuitive. The Black Cloud Avenue connecting the city gate is the central axis of the whole city, and all the buildings in the city are distributed on both sides according to this central axis. It is also a hierarchical city, and the closer you get to the outskirts of the city, the more low-rise houses there are. They are connected by complex and narrow alleys that form a dense slum. And the closer you get to the center of the city, the more spacious the streets radiate from Heiyun Boulevard, with larger dwellings and wider spacers. The most obvious is the greenery, the vegetation planted on both sides of the road, which is obviously not visible when you first enter the city.

Housing determines identity and status, and the class nature of the poor and the aristocracy can be clearly distinguished in the city.

Iron Stone Avenue is undoubtedly the most noble place in the city, and this wide street that turns into from Black Cloud Avenue leads directly to the palace-like City Lord's Mansion. On both sides of Tieshi Avenue are mostly mansions and courtyards, and the environment is quiet and elegant. The No. 1 mansion is undoubtedly the largest and most luxurious mansion in it, with a deep courtyard and a lot of flowers and plants planted in it. The layout of the house, which consists of the main building, the auxiliary courtyard, the lawn, the garden, the garage, etc., is a rare complex layout even on the Iron Stone Avenue.

To be able to live in such a mansion, the identity of the owner of the house is naturally not simple. In fact, the mansion was actually Sharon's private house, where he used to house his wife and several children. However, today there seems to be some exceptions, when Hagus's cavalry came to the front of Mansion No. 1, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed in front of the mansion. The soldiers wore dark brown armor with a wolf's head emblem on their chests.

This meant that they were Sir Sirloin's Guard, a military system that was completely independent of the army and not under the command of Hagus. The guards numbered less than a hundred, but they were carefully trained soldiers. Their leader is naturally Tucker, who claims to be able to challenge Hagus. Of course, the young man had just been defeated by Hagus not long ago, and his reputation had plummeted, but he still had strength that should not be taken lightly.

Tucker was on duty in the Lord's Mansion, so the soldiers stationed in the mansion were accompanied by his lieutenant Pissen. Pisen was a middle-aged man, almost a little muna. The strength of the thirteenth level is comparable to the Dark Thunder Knight under Hagus, and it is enough to act as Tucker's adjutant. His armor was very ordinary, and there were even a few inconspicuous cracks on it, if it weren't for the wolf head of the guard's emblem, one eye was painted crimson as the guard lieutenant's logo. Otherwise, throw Pison into the crowd, and I'm afraid that people will not be able to recognize him.

After all, he was too ordinary, too ordinary.

Seeing Hagus's cavalry drifting like a black cloud, Pissen's heart skipped a heavy beat. Then he asked the iron door of the mansion to be opened, and he walked forward with a group of soldiers. With a wave of his hand, he asked the guards who had stopped Hagus to retreat, and then stood up to Hagus, who was riding on a tall horse, clenched his hands into fists and lightly hammered his chest, saying, "Lord Hagus." ”

"Adjutant Pitson, what's going on. I want to see Melinda. Hagus's voice came from behind the iron face of war, and it seemed cold, without the slightest emotional ebb and flow.

Pisen's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "I'm sorry, Lord Hagus. Sir Sirloin has decreed that no one should see his wife except with his consent. ”

"Including me?"

"Including you!"

"That's my sister!" Hagus's pitch was another three-pointer.

Pissen looked at Hagus blankly and said, "I'm sorry, please don't embarrass us." ”

Hagus's hand was already on his pitch-black greatsword, and the Dark Thunder Knight's hand was on the folding crossbow on the side of the horse. On the bow, all the cavalry, except for Allen, entered a state of imminent battle. The fierce murderous aura that rushed into his face made Pison and the guards all pale. Even the adjutant thought that a battle was inevitable, and Hagus's hand suddenly left the greatsword and regained the reins: "Well, since it's the order of the knight." ”

He turned his horse's head, waved his hand, and left with his cavalry.

Pissen breathed a sigh of relief, he found that his back was already wet with cold sweat.

When he came, he was violent, but when he went, he let the horse move slowly. Hagus didn't know whether to tell Allen, or to understand the doubts of these people below, he rode on his horse and said indifferently: "That's a trick that Sharon gave me, he wants to provoke me and make me do something wrong." Just like just now, if we are willful, we will go straight into the house. Then Sharloin can hold this handle and directly use the army against us. And this time, people won't be on our side. ”

"But my lord, then we don't care about the lady and the young master?" A knight said.

Hagus had already taken down the cold metal mask: "Everything will be solved tonight, so it would be good for Jazz to be proud for a while." I think Melinda and them will be able to endure until tomorrow. ”

Hearing his words, the knights all geared up. Alan was thoughtful, and now both Sirloin and Hagus were trying their best to solve their opponents. So Sharloin borrowed troops from other bigwigs, and Hagus went straight to him. Now that he has come, Sharon has obviously not borrowed reinforcements yet, so the victory or defeat is almost predictable.

A qiē just stay tonight.

In the evening, it rained. At first, it was just a gust of wind and rain, but when the lights came on from house to house, the Black Iron Fort was overrained. From time to time, thunder roared in the sky, and large strips of lightning seemed to divide the world, causing the city below to constantly reincarnate between light and darkness.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, Sharon's face also appeared and disappeared in the alternating light and dark. After this strong flash of light between heaven and earth had passed, he pulled the curtain to completely cover the stormy world outside the window, so a face carved with vicissitudes of life returned to the warm light of the study. Sharon said in a deep voice: "You said that Hagus went to Ironstone No. 1 in the morning, but only said a few words, and then clapped his hands and left?" ”

Tucker, the young commander of the guard, said, "That's it, Sir. I thought Hagus would be tempted to make a move, and then I would have a chance to ask the Knight Master for another lesson. ”

Clearly, he was angry about losing to Hagers last time out.

Sharon shook his head and said, "Hagus, this guy has always been very deep in the city, and he can hold his breath. Think about how many opponents were dragged by his deep scheming back then. It's just that now that I'm his opponent, he will never do anything meaningless. Since there was no conflict with Ironstone One, it can only mean that he has other plans. And the figure will not be trivial. ”

"Do you know where he went some time ago?"

"This ......," Tucker bowed his head and said, "subordinates should indeed strengthen the training of special personnel in intelligence." ”

"That's not your fault." Sha Lang waved his hand and said, "After he came back last time, he took the heavy responsibility of city defense. That's always been the work of the Knights of the Black Cloud, and I can't stop it. It is not surprising that Hagus took the opportunity to block our view. However, it is not difficult to guess where he is going, and he is also going to move the rescuers. ”

"Rescuers?" Tucker sneered and said, "Count Rykerd has promised us to send troops to help, and now the army is on the way." When the Earl's army arrived, I saw what other rescuers could save Captain Hagus. ”

"That's right, so during this time, you let the people below try to refrain as much as possible. Just let Hagus be majestic for a little longer. There was a hint of tiredness in Sha Ron's eyes: "I'm tired, you go down first." ”

"Please rest assured, my lord."

After Tucker left, Sharloin still didn't leave. He suddenly remembered a lot of things, especially when he was younger. At that time, he and Hagers were not enemies. Sharon suddenly sighed, "How the hell did we get to this point?" ”

In this sigh, there is a bit of helplessness that cannot be relieved.

The torrential rain continued, and the rain line cut the heavens and the earth to pieces. In such an environment, the line of sight was disturbed by Yanzhòng, which made the two guards squatting in the rain in a secret post of the City Lord's Mansion very distressed. They were wearing raincoats made of animal leather, but they still couldn't keep the rain out of their armor and close-fitting clothing, and the dampness was terrible.

One of them scolded: "Why doesn't this damn rain stop! ”

The companion next to him smiled wryly and looked at him as if to say something. But his eyes suddenly changed, as if he saw something terrible. The guard's mouth opened wide, but before he could spit out what he wanted to say, a steel arrow burst through the rain curtain and nailed it into the guard's neck with the rain. The powerful impact even caused him to take a few steps back, and then fell directly from the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion.

Before the rest of the guards could react, there was a continuous feeling of severe pain behind them, and then the sound of rain in their ears gradually faded away, and the world in their eyes also turned with the sky. He fell to the ground on the rooftop, but there were two more steel arrows on his back that barely sank into his body.

Soon, a layer of blood floated on the floor of the rooftop, and it rushed into the distance for the rain.
