Time came to night. ◎****Fiction,

Outside Storm City, Leigh’s camp was brightly lit, facing the rows of torches on the wall. At this time the city gate opened and ten soldiers escorted Brie to the outskirts military camp. In the main account, the director of the association saw Regg with a tired face. Seeing Brie, Leigh squinted his eyes, and said brightly in his eyes: "Tell me honestly, did you betray Storm City in the morning?"

Brie smiled bitterly: "In fact, it is Sir Maud that we have abandoned."

"Why do you do this?"

"Doesn’t Captain Reg know well? You treat us adventurers that way, do you still expect us to kill you?" Brie sneered, and Xuan Ji shook his head: "But it's all over. You too As you can see, the city of Sul is not what it used to be. Now the Knight Alan in the city, I hope I will give you a message. In order to avoid more casualties, he hopes that you can surrender. After surrendering, you will still retain Now this position. So you see, Captain Reg, you don’t have anything to lose, you just changed your loyalty object."

"Speaking well, isn't he afraid that I will surrender today and I will be the other way around tomorrow?" Reg sneered.

Brihaha laughed: "Believe it or not, the Sir Edward of Sul City, or the Knight of Allen. I have an intuition that what they want is not one city and one place. You think they Will your ambition put this city or you in your eyes?"

"According to me, you'd better not have the idea of ​​rebellion. Instead, follow them, maybe your future achievements are far higher than the present. Captain Reg, there is only one opportunity, you should consider it carefully." After finishing talking, he wanted to leave the book.

"Wait."

"Why, Captain Reg doesn't want to keep me as a lobbyist, right?" Bree said half-jokingly.

Rig looked at him up and down, and after a while, he said: "Tell Alan Knight, I can surrender, but I must ensure the safety of me and the soldier's family."

"Of course."

"Then I won't give it away." With these words, Regg waved his hand tiredly as if he had grown old for an instant.

When Brie left the camp, he gave the night breeze a blow, only to realize that the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat. The guard stepped forward to protect him from leaving. After leaving the camp, Brie said to the person next to him: "Are you really relieved to leave the army to him?"

The man raised his head, but it was Allen who had gathered his eye-catching silver hair in his helmet. He smiled and said: "If Reg surrenders, how do you think the people of Storm City will think of him in the future. At that time, even if he doesn't want to be loyal, he has to be loyal, because he has no choice. If you don't surrender to me, who will protect him, who Continue to give him the current power. And I also need someone like him to stabilize the military spirit. This is what everyone needs."

Allen patted Brie on the shoulder and said: "This time the Ranger regiment you provided is really good, Mr. Brie, there are still many opportunities for us to cooperate with the Adventurers Association in the future. I hope you can continue to recruit this for us. A group of experienced fighters."

Brie smiled and said authentically: "That's natural. Maybe it's in the light of Your Excellency Allen. The two old guys, Beto and I have the opportunity to trade for a seat at the headquarters of the association."

Alan laughed, everything was said.

The next day, Leigh brought a small team to the city and said loudly: "Please tell Your Excellency Allen, we are willing to surrender."

This news is undoubtedly a blockbuster, and some caring people who have heard the news are not heartbroken. Once even Leigh surrendered, Storm City completely fell into the opponent's hands, and there was no room for resistance. While these people scolded Reg in secret, they hurried to see Alan to show their loyalty. It saves Alan from taking them, so Alan is very busy this morning.

But finally everything settled.

Allen was also very generous, after Reg said he had surrendered. In the afternoon of the same day, the detained recruits were handed over to Legg. Craig really hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't understand Alan's thoughts, and completely gave up his plan to go back. In this way, Storm City was completely taken by Allen. According to the rules of the game among the nobles of the empire, it is now owned by the city of Suhl and belongs to the territory under the jurisdiction of Edward, so it lacks an official document.

Of course, given that Storm City officials have chosen to surrender, this document will not be long before it will be formally handed over to Edward. However, what is surprising is that three days later, Sir Edward of Sul City visited Storm City and decided to give Storm City to Allen to take care of it.

For an entitled knight, such an approach is undoubtedly laying the foundation for Allen's promotion to the knight. No city owner would be willing to do this. The knights under the city owner often had to lay several territories for the city owner before they had the opportunity to give a relatively barren land. Coupled with some military exploits, it was possible to change to the quasi-baron with the lowest title in the empire.

The quasi-baron is the first title promoted by a knight, and this title cannot be inherited by hereditary. Only by making greater contributions to the empire, or occupying more territories of other knights, will they be promoted to baron.

Under such a promotion mechanism, naturally no lord is willing to cultivate an enemy by himself. So when I heard that Edward decided to let Allen manage Storm City on his behalf, it naturally drew a lot of discussion. Then someone began to inquire about the origins of these two men. When they learned that Edward was originally only one of Allen's subordinates, the relationship between them was naturally clear at a glance.

After figuring out how Edward became the lord of Sul City step by step, anyone with a bit of a genius can sort out a general context. There is no doubt that among these two people, the real master is actually a knight named Allen. He allowed his subordinates to marry the daughter of the former city lord of Suer, thereby pushing Edward to the position of lord of the city.

With Edward, the city lord, he has enough power to make the nameless Allen a knight. After taking down Storm City, he was given the position of escrow. Next, the knight Alan needed only one or two great achievements to be promoted to a quasi-baron. After the quasi-baron, whether it is to integrate Suhl City or continue to expand its influence. In the near future, it is a predictable fact that a powerful knight will rise in this border land.

As the deeds of Allen and others continued to be dug, some people discovered that they had already set up the Lily Chamber of Commerce in Violet Harbor in advance, and even influenced the position of the slave merchant Roger. So Allen is already a potential new star who is expected to sprint towards the Viscount in people's eyes.

On the border, there has never been a viscount.

So even Alan didn't know that people's attitudes towards him were quietly changing. Smart people will not interfere with this unchangeable situation, while stupid people leave the stage early. People who can't even see the situation clearly will naturally be eliminated by the times.

The night after Edward came to Storm City, Allen was in his sleep when he heard gunshots and crying. He sat up, opened the curtains, and the direction of the barracks was bright. He frowned, and walked out of his clothes.

Riding a war horse to the barracks, the outside of the camp is surrounded by soldiers. Allen got into the crowd and came to the open space of the barracks, only to see that the camp had been stained red with blood. On the other side, there were nearly a hundred corpses lying down. In there, even women and children are not immune. And Mogu's corpse was among them.

These people are all members of the Maude family, and hundreds of people, large and small, are now being blamed. Alan sank in his heart and shouted in a low voice: "Who tells me what's going on?"

"I ordered it." Edward walked out of the crowd and said lightly.

"I don't remember asking you to do this kind of thing." Allen said solemnly: "Should I ask my opinion before shooting them?"

Edward smiled nonchalantly and said: "Let's discuss it privately."

In the camp office, Allen looked out the window. The soldiers were carrying away the corpses one by one, and the corpses would be carried outside the city for mass cremation. Allen sighed and turned back: "Edward, why kill them without asking for my opinion?"

"Because of this, this cruel charge will only be held on my own head." Edward said calmly: "Maud's family should not stay, even if it is a child. You should know that hatred is a seed. Sooner or later it will take root and sprout. Even if it does not grow up, it will be used by those who are interested."

"Rather than waiting to regret it in the future, it is better to do it cleanly now. And this order, I will give it, is more suitable than you."

"Why? Are you afraid that I don't have the consciousness to bear the charge?" Allen shook his head and said, "War is never just, and everything we do has nothing to do with justice at the beginning. Invade, colonize, and take advantage of it. Strengthen ourselves. What we did was **** on both hands from the beginning."

"Of course I know that since you have decided to expedition to Outland, you are ready to bear the evil. However, as a high-ranking person, you can't completely embody evil. So some darker things require me to do this You and I are light and darkness. Your flame will illuminate others, and the light in people’s eyes cannot tolerate the darkness. So, leave the dark part to me." Edwards Looking directly into Allen's eyes: "I think it would be better to do this."

Allen shook his head and said: "Actually, you don't need to do this, after all, I am..."

"It's okay, Allen. In the days of displacement, I have already abandoned all light. Because only by embracing the darkness can I live and live to the present. So I am willing to do this." Edward smiled slightly. Said: "You go back first, and I will deal with the matter here."

After leaving, Allen shook his head: "Edward, why do you want to sink yourself into the darkness?"

Of course, no one will tell him the answer.
