Allen finally decided to accept the invitation of Dark Iron Fort and went to the Blood Rock Wasteland a week later to sign a peace agreement with Sir Sharon.
After bidding farewell to the envoys in Black Iron Fort, Belmode returned in secret. The first thing he did when he returned to Storm City was to report his findings in Dark Iron Fort to Allen. The intelligence that Belmod has spied on is very useful, and Allen can use this as a basis. Only when he meets with Sir Sharon will he be able to determine some details and attitudes.
"The Black Iron Fort has a history of more than 100 years. After five knights, Sir Sharon is the sixth lord and the longest in power."
In the study room in the city lord’s mansion, Belmode reported: "Sir Sharon is a level 16 knight himself, and he is not very outstanding in personal strength, but he is very good at business. Black Iron Fort The first president of the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce was actually Sir Sharon, who was later handed over to the current president Cam to take care of it. Also under the administration of the Sir, the Black Iron Fort quickly accumulated a lot of wealth in just two decades , Making the territory continue to grow stronger."
"Of course, if it were only Sir Sharon, Dark Iron Fort could not have grown to its current scale. Apart from anything else, Sir Maude of Storm City had made his idea more than once. Finally, Maude and Sharon I chose marriage because of the existence of Higgs."
"Haggs?" The middle-aged man of the envoy flashed through Allen's mind: "The leader and founder of the Black Cloud Knights?"
"Yes, it is this Higgs." Belmode said in a deep voice: "Higgs already had a level of 17 strength when he founded the Knights. It is said that he has begun to sprint to the 20th level over the years. If there are no surprises, his strength is at least around 18 and 9. If in terms of personal force, Higgs's strength is enough to sweep all the powerhouses in the entire border, including you, the boss."
Allen said, "If you look at the level alone, it is true. It's just that in a real battle, level is not the only criterion for victory or defeat. Of course, it is based on the premise that the level difference is not large."
"Anyway, I will be careful of this man, you can keep talking."
"What I hear next will be more interesting."
Belmod smiled meaninglessly: "But I don’t think this is unusual for the boss. After all, you noble lords...hehe. Let’s get to the point, Sir Sharon has two wives. A wife, Suya, had been with the Jazz for many years due to her frailty, but she had nothing to do with her. So Lord Jazz married another wife, Melinda, who was Haggs’ younger sister."
"Oh?"
"Before this, Higgs was just a warrior. But when Sir Sharon was a horse thief, Higgs had a close friendship with him. After marrying his sister to the Sir, Higgs took advantage of this Enter the power center of the Dark Iron Fort. Coupled with his strong personal strength and the establishment of the Black Cloud Knights. It can be said that Haggs' influence in the domain is gradually overwhelming Sir Sharon himself."
Allen said unexpectedly: "This is not good news. If the master and the slave are confused, Sir Sharon is not afraid of being overwhelmed by Higgs?"
"Why are you not afraid?" Belmode shook his head and smiled: "Sir Sharon is very scared, or else he won't cultivate his own guard over the years. His guard is stationed in the city lord’s mansion for many years. Commander Tucker is regarded as the knight who has the most potential to hit the 20th level in the Black Iron Fort after Higgs. If this power were not in hand, I am afraid that Higgs would have ousted Sir Sharon. ?"
"In other words, the interior of the Black Iron Fort is not so united, which is worth noting."
"More than that. I just said something interesting." Belmode shrugged and stopped selling off. He said, "Higgs and Melinda still have a leg in secret. And this Sir Sharon has heard about it for a long time, but because of his high authority, Haggs has been unable to move him. So this **green hat has been detained on the poor jazz for many years."
"What?" Allen was surprised: "Aren't Higgs and Melinda brothers and sisters?"
"Their relationship is only one-sided rhetoric from Higgs. Everyone knows that there are more articles to be done here, but the means are available. What's more, even brothers and sisters? This is not the first time I have heard of this." Bellmode laughed and said: "The important thing is that there are rumors that Higgs and Melinda have their own son. If this is true, what do you think will happen in the future?"
Alan thought for a while, and said: "Haggs doesn't need to come forward at all, he just needs to guard this son. And this son, at least on the surface, is the child of Sir Sharon and Melinda, then he has the right The right to inheritance. Well, Higgs only needs to eliminate those competitors for his children, and finally assist him to sit in the seat of the lord of the Black Iron Fort, which is not much different from sitting in that position by himself."
"So...I seem to know who his child is."
"Oh? The boss is really well informed." This time it was Belmode's turn to be surprised.
Allen shook his head and said, "No, I'm just guessing, but it should be eight/nine. Not long ago, Higgs personally served as an envoy, and there was a young man with him. He is Sir Sharon’s son Bill, if what you said is true, then this Bill should be the son of Higgs. But from their attitude, Bill doesn’t know the truth."
"If I were Higgs, I wouldn't let him know the truth. The less he knows, the better for Higgs." Belmode smiled.
"You are right." Allen patted his shoulder: "This time you have worked so hard, so I will let you go for a few days off. Stay with Miss Kira more. If you are willing to combine, I can Be your witness."
Belmod laughed and said: "Now I say that this matter is early, and in our current situation, I don't have the intention of getting married. I think Kira is the same."
Allen laughed and said nothing.
A week passed quickly, when the construction site outside the city began to erect the scaffolding, Allen left Storm City with a team.
The meeting place for Sir Sharon was set in Dick’s den that day. According to Higgs, it was once the place where the chaos of the Blood Rock Wasteland ended, and it was also the place where Storm City and Dark Iron Fort developed peacefully. The starting place is of great significance.
And now, as the initiator, the people from the Black Iron Fort arrived at the meeting place three days ago**.
Most of the stone houses in Dick’s old nest that day were still preserved. As for the cavernous cellar, it later became a tomb where the corpse was buried. Here you can still see the traces of the war that day, as well as the dark red blood that has been mixed with the sand and stone. In addition to the Black Cloud Knights, there are two hundred infantrymen on this trip to the Black Iron Fort. After this team arrived, they moved in first to clean up this venue that would bring major changes to the border land, and make preparations.
On the day before Allen's departure, Sir Sharon was late with his guard. Higgs arranged an airy room for Lord Jazz. As soon as Jazz moved in, the Guards immediately sealed off a large area nearby. Higgs just smiled and told the members of his knights to retreat a little bit, so as not to cause friction with the guards at this kind of knotty, and let outsiders read jokes.
Unexpectedly, several screams came from Sharon's stone house at night. Following a woman covered in blood rushed out of the house, but was taken by the guards. A guard drew a sharp sword and directly gave the woman a sword to pierce her heart.
Higgs heard the sound and just happened to see this scene. He frowned and shook his head, and stepped forward. The two guards stepped forward and stood blankly in front of Higgs, saying: "My lord, it's late at night. Lord Baron has already fallen asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Soldiers, now I give you a chance. If you don't want to die, let me get out." Higgs smiled coldly. In his eyes, these two tenth-level guards were not even qualified to stand in the way.
If he hadn't been taking care of it all these years, Higgs would have used these guards. These sirloin dogs thought that they would climb into a good owner, and all of them had eyes higher than sex, and they didn't know whether to live or die. It wasn't even once or twice that there was a collision like this at the moment, but this time, Higgs was already faintly angry.
There was an invisible killing intent on his body, and the huge sense of oppression made these two guards start to be overwhelmed. At this time, one person walked out of the house and said with a chuckle: "They also acted according to the order, and ran into the head of the group, please don't care about it."
"Tucker." Higgs narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young guard leader in front of him.
Tucker is less than 30, but already has 17 strength. He is tall and tall, without the overbearing sense of oppression that Higgs has, but he also has a certain tolerance. The tanned skin made him look as tight as cast iron. With his deep silhouette and status, he seemed to be the dream lover of all the girls in the Black Iron Fort.
Even Higgs has to admit that such a promising young man is indeed worthy of appreciation. Unfortunately, the two were not on the same line, so Higgs did not buy his account, pointing to the female body on the ground and saying: "This is the female slave I just gave to Sir Sharon. Should you explain to me? (.2.) Next, why would she become a corpse now?"
Before Tucker spoke, there was a rude voice in the stone house: "I let them kill people!"
A man emerged from the room. This man was even slightly taller than Higgs in terms of figure. On the rough face, a pair of eyes loomed fiercely. The hair is frosty, but the body shape remains the same as that of a young person. Even because of the precipitation of the years, he naturally revealed a thick breath. He is like a hard rock on the blood rock wasteland, no matter how the wind and sand erodes, it still stands upright.
"My Lord Baron." Tucker stepped aside and called in a low voice.
This man is naturally the lord of the Black Iron Fort, Baron Sharon!
