The sky quietly turned gloomy.

Large patches of gray clouds gradually covered the sky, blocking the noon sun, making the sky light falling in the black iron fort very depressing and heavy. This black city was breathing heavily like an overwhelmed old man. The pressure came from the fight between Sir Sharon and Higgs, and the two went from a secret fight to an open fight, which is no different for the people living in this city.

Because their son, husband, or father is in Sharon’s army, or the Knights of Dark Cloud. Regardless of who is the victor in the end, it is conceivable that it will only be them who shed blood and pain.

The men and women who ran across the avenues of the city, from time to time, came out of the dark houses, all with panic expressions on their faces. Allen had a full view of this face, and at the same time read from their faces the desire to end the fight as soon as possible.

Black Iron Fort is a rough city, and its urban layout is also simple and intuitive. The Heiyun Avenue connecting the city gates is the central axis of the entire city, and all the buildings in the city are distributed on both sides along this central axis. It is also a city with distinct classes, and the closer it is to the outskirts of the city, the more low-rise residential buildings. They are connected by complex and narrow alleys, forming a dense slum area. The closer you are to the city center, the more spacious the streets radiating from Heiyun Avenue, with larger residences and wider intervals. The most obvious is the greening. The vegetation planted on both sides of the road is obviously invisible when you first enter the city.

Housing determines identity and status. The class nature of the poor and the nobility can be clearly distinguished in this city.

Ironstone Avenue is undoubtedly the most noble place in the city. This spacious street turned in from Heiyun Avenue leads directly to the palace-like city lord’s mansion. On both sides of Tieshi Avenue, there are many large houses and Chinese courtyards, with a quiet and elegant environment. And No. 1 Mansion is undoubtedly the largest and most luxurious house in it. The courtyard is deep and there are many flowers and plants planted in it. The layout of the house composed of the main building, the auxiliary courtyard, the lawn, the garden, the garage, etc., is a rare complex layout even on Tieshi Avenue.

Being able to live in such a big house, the identity of the owner of the house is naturally not simple. In fact, this house is actually Sharon’s private house, which he used to house his wife and several children. However, there seemed to be some exceptions today. When the cavalry of Higgs came to Mansion One, it was stopped by soldiers stationed in front of the mansion. These soldiers wore dark brown armor with a wolf head logo on their chests.

This means that they are the identity of Sir Sharon's Guards, a military system completely independent of the army and not under the command of Higgs. The number of guards is less than a hundred, but they are all carefully trained soldiers. Their commander is naturally Tucker who claims to be able to challenge Higgs. Of course, the young man had just been defeated by Higgs not long ago, and his reputation had plummeted, but he still had the strength to be insulted.

Tucker is on duty in the city lord’s mansion, so the soldiers stationed in the mansion are assigned to his adjutant Pison. Pison is a middle-aged man, almost stern. The thirteenth level of strength is worthy of the Dark Thunder Knights under Higgs, and it is enough to serve as Tucker's adjutant. The style of his armor is very ordinary, and there are even a few inconspicuous cracks on it. If it weren't for the wolf head with the guard logo, one eye would be painted scarlet to serve as the mark of the adjutant of the guard. Otherwise, Pixen will be thrown into the crowd, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to recognize him.

After all, he is too ordinary, too ordinary.

Seeing the cavalry of Higgs floating like a black cloud, Pearson's heart beat hard. Then people opened the iron door of the mansion, and he walked forward with a group of soldiers. He waved his hand to make the guard who stopped Higgs back, and then stood at attention to Higgs who was riding on the tall horse, clenched his hands into a fist and hammered his chest and said: "Master Higgs."

"Adjutant Pison, what is going on. I want to see Melinda." Higgs' voice came from behind the iron face of the war, looking cold, without the slightest emotional ups and downs.

Person's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I'm sorry, Lord Higgs. Sir Sharon has an order, unless he agrees, no one can see his wife."

"Include me?"

"Include you!"

"That's my sister!" Higgs's tone was three-pointed again.

Pixen looked at Higgs numbly and said: "I'm sorry, please don't make us embarrassed."

Higgs' hand has been on his dark giant sword, and the dark thunder knight's hand has also been placed on the folding crossbow and bow on the side of the horse. All the cavalry except Alan have entered the state of battle. The stern murderous aura that rushed forward made Pison and all the guards pale. Even the adjutant thought that when a battle was inevitable, Higgs suddenly left the giant sword and shook the reins again: "Well, since it was the order of the jazz."

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

Person breathed a sigh of relief. He found that his back was wet with cold sweat.

When he came, he was aggressive, but when he went, he let his horse go slowly. Higgs didn’t know whether to tell Alan or to understand the doubts of these people underneath. He rode on the horse and said indifferently: “That’s a set that Sharon gave me. He wants to anger me and make me make some mistakes. Just like just now, if we rush into the house in a spirited way, Sharon can hold this handle and directly use the army to deal with us. And this time, people will not be on our side."

"My lord, shall we leave the wife and the young master?" said a knight.

Haggs has taken off the cold metal mask: "Everything will be settled tonight. Let the Jazz be proud of it for a while. I think Melinda and the others can also tolerate tomorrow."

Hearing his words, the knights all geared up. Allen was thoughtful, now Sharon and Higgs both want to solve their opponents as soon as possible. So Sharon borrowed troops from other big men, and Higgs went directly to himself. Now that he has come, Sharon has obviously not borrowed reinforcements yet, so the outcome is almost predictable.

Everything is only for tonight.

In the evening, it rained. At first it was just a gust of wind and rain, and when the lights were turned on in every household, the Black Iron Fort was raining heavily. From time to time, thunder and thunder sounded in the sky, and large strips of lightning seemed to divide the world, causing the city underneath to continuously cycle between light and darkness.

In the midst of the lightning and thunder, Sharon's face also appeared and disappeared in the alternating light. After the strong flash of light between the sky and the earth passed, he pulled the screen to completely cover the wind and rain outside the window, so a face full of vicissitudes, returned to the warm light of the study. Sharon said solemnly with his hands in his hands, "You said, Haggs went to Iron Stone One in the morning, but after only a few words, he clapped his hands and left?"

The young guard leader Tucker said gratifyingly: "That's it, Sir. I thought Higgs would be tempted to take action, so I would have the opportunity to ask the knight commander for more advice. "

Apparently, he was upset about losing to Higgs last time.

Sharon shook his head and said: "Higgs has always been very deep in the city, and he is calm. I think back then, how many opponents were dragged by his deep scheming. But now I am His opponent is only, he will never do anything meaningless. Since there is no conflict with Iron Stone One, it can only show that he has another plan. And the one who plans is not a trivial matter."

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

"This..." Tucker lowered his head and said: "The subordinates should indeed strengthen the training of special personnel in intelligence."

"That's no fault of you." Sharon waved his hand: "After he came back last time, he took the city defense heavily on his upper body. That has always been the work of the Black Cloud Knights, and I can't stop it. Higgs took the opportunity to use it. It’s not surprising that we blocked our sight. But it’s not hard to guess where he is going. He also wanted to move the soldiers."

"Rescue soldiers?" Tucker sneered: "Earl Laked has promised that we will send troops to help. Now the army is on the road. Once the earl’s army arrives, I see what rescuers can save. Captain Higgs."

"Yes, so during this time, you let the people below try your best to restrain yourself. Just let Higgs stay awe-inspiring for a while." There was a trace of tiredness in Sharon's eyes: "I'm tired, you first Go down."

"Please rest assured, my lord."

After Tucker left, Sharon still did not leave. He suddenly remembered many things, especially when he was young. At that time, he and Higgs were not enemies yet. Sharon suddenly sighed: "How did we get to this point?"

In this sigh, there was a bit of helplessness that I couldn't let go of.

The torrential rain is continuous, and the rain line cuts the sky and the earth into pieces. In such an environment, the line of sight was severely disturbed, which made the two guards squatting in the rain at a secret post in the city lord's mansion very distressed. They were wearing raincoats made of animal leather, but they still couldn't stop the rain from digging into the armor and close-fitting clothing. The damp feeling was really terrible.

One of them cursed: "Why does this **** rain keep going!"

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

The remaining guards hadn't reacted yet, and there was a continuous feeling of pain behind them, and then the sound of rain in their ears gradually disappeared, and the world in their eyes turned around with the sky. He fell to the ground on the rooftop, but there were two more steel arrows on his back that were almost submerged in his body.

Soon, a layer of blood floated on the ground of the rooftop, and it rushed to the distance for the rain. r1058
