Edge of the Apocalypse

[The middle-aged man looked at Alan up and down and shook his head, "Grandmaster doesn't deserve it. I'm just a blackmailer."]

'"Garden, don't be too ungrateful. This is Lord Alan, our head. The armor I gave you is Lord Alan's. If you have anything to say, just say it to my lord." Gurus waved his hand and let the others leave before he pulled the man away, "Don't be too ungrateful. This is Lord Alan. Our head. The armor I gave you is Lord Alan's."

Then Gurus walked away and went to inspect the workshop, giving them a place to talk. Ellen looked at the man in front of him in a leisurely manner. He didn't expect Garden to mutter, "Lord Alan, you better kill me. I can't repair your armor anyway. Gurus said that if I don't repair it well, there won't be any more wine to drink. Isn't that killing me?"

Ellen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Gurus is just scaring you. It's fine if you can't repair it. I'm not going to take your life for a piece of armor."

"Then give me wine?" Garden raised his head and asked. He should be the type of person who drank as much as he liked.

This reminded Alan of Hubble, and he didn't know if the Gatu man had arrived in Shadow Duchy smoothly. Alan nodded and said, "What happened in the past will remain the same in the future. Since you can't repair it, leave the armor to me. I'll think of another way."

Garden hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, it's not that I, Garden Bai, don't drink and don't work. I've never seen the materials used in your armor. Let's just talk about the inner armor. I've seen the fragments. I don't know what they are. They're so thin, but they're much harder than the armor of the Imperial Army."

Allen asked casually, "Have you touched the armor of the Imperial Army?"

"Not only have I touched the armor of one of the Centurions of the Bear Armored Army, I was in charge of repairing them." When Garden said this, he unconsciously straightened his chest, his face filled with high spirits. But then he smiled bitterly and said, "I once worked in the Bear Armored Army's headquarters. The size of the headquarters is much larger than this." Originally, if I had worked for another twenty years, I would have returned to my hometown. Unfortunately, I am stupid and can't speak. He offended his superior and was kicked out of the workshop. Afterwards, because of this incident, he fought with the landlord at that time, and that bastard actually framed me for collaborating with the enemy afterwards, saying that I leaked the equipment secrets of the Bear Armor Army. That's why I came to the Land of Darkness. Only here can I survive. "

Alan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this Zhan Lang workshop technician had worked in the military workshop before. No wonder Joey's stinger was unoriginal, but sturdy and practical, because it was the style of the army.

Garden shook his head and mocked himself, "Don't blame me, my lord. I can't completely repair your armor. But if you don't mind lowering your defenses and it doesn't look so beautiful, I can at least repair the damaged parts. I don't have the materials for your armor, nor do I know the craftsmanship. After repairing, the defensive capability of the damaged area is equivalent to the Imperial Army's heavy armor. This is the limit I can reach. "

"Then I'll leave it to you. How many days will it take?"

"It won't take a few days. Two days is enough. I have some ready-made nail plate materials here. I only need to polish and shape them before I can use them. It will take more time for the chimeras."

Alan said cheerfully, "You go ahead and do it. As for the wine, don't worry, I'll have Gurus deliver it to you."

Garden's eyes lit up and he did what he said. Alan gestured to Gulus, and the two left the workshop without interfering with Garden's work. However, Alan had other thoughts about Garden. A craftsman from an army workshop was a bit overqualified for Zhan Lang, but Alan still needed to consider where to put Garden. Moreover, he wasn't in a hurry. After Garden finished repairing the armor, he wanted to see what he could do before making another decision.

In the afternoon, a group of people came from the Eagle Wing Mountain Ridge. The twenty female bandits of Black Feather went up the mountain and delivered some gold, silver, and jewelry that Black Warbler had no time to take away, basically emptying the warehouse of the Black Feather Stronghold. At this point, the black feathers on the other side of the Eagle Wing Mountain Ridge were practically left with only an empty shell.

Gangen took on the responsibility of counting the items in the warehouse, and after that, he sorted out the details and presented them to Alan for his inspection. This time, the person in charge of Black Feather was a mature woman named Roland. His Origin Energy was average, and his level 15 strength was considered elite among the black feathers. However, Black Warbler had never taken a fancy to him. Now that Black Warbler had brought the elite away, Roland had become the strongest person in Black Feather.

Of course, throwing this bit of strength to Alan's subordinates was not enough, but managing Black Feather on his behalf was enough. Roland was either Black Warbler's confidant or he had stayed in Black Feather for a long time. Even though he wasn't qualified to participate in some confidential matters, he had seen a lot and knew a little. She was the one who told Edward that Black Feather was secretly selling slaves.

Now, Black Feather and Zhan Lang had merged into the Dark Spear. However, Alan let them manage separately and still let Black Feather stay in the Eagle Wing Mountain Ridge. This more or less preserved the foundation of the Black Feather Pirates. This made Roland and the other female pirates feel grateful. Otherwise, if Alan allowed them to go up the Evil Tooth Barrier, sooner or later, these women would become the playthings of the men on the mountain. Therefore, Roland knew what Alan was asking, and he wished he could explain it in more detail.

When Alan asked the boss behind Black Feather, he knew that Black Warbler had done a good job of keeping this secret. Roland was not her confidant, so he couldn't tell him for a while. However, she knew a lot about the agent, Lega.

'"Lega is a merchant from Sardinia. On the surface, he is a leather buyer and has many hunters under him. But in reality, this is just a cover for him. Lega himself is the owner of a slave-hunting group. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled a needle in the slave trade."

In Alan's room, Roland said confidently, "Lega is famous for being lecherous. He has dozens of lovely wives in Sardinia. These wives don't come from any decent backgrounds, and many of them are in his favor among the slaves."

Edward, who was beside him, said indifferently, "You know very well."

Roland said without changing his expression, "Every time Lega came, he would often have fun with Black Warbler. But he would occasionally try us. I slept with him a few times and served him very satisfactorily. Men tend to slip up when they relax, especially in a place like the bed."

Alan nodded and said, "I see. There's nothing else to ask for now. You can go down first. There's no need to leave. Stay here tonight. I'll have Gurus arrange a place for you to rest. I have something important to announce tomorrow. You can stay with me."

Roland raised his chest slightly and smiled charmingly, "Why don't you let me serve Lord Alan tonight? I know there are many beautiful women around Lord Alan, but they are too young. How can they be as mature and delicious as me?"

Ellen felt a headache for Black Feather's alluring style. She shook her head and smiled, "Your kindness is appreciated. I have something important to attend to. If this kind of pleasure can be avoided, then let's go down."

Roland said goodbye.

Edward stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant mountains and pointing in the direction of Sardinia, "Since Lega came from Sardinia, then the boss behind Black Feather should also be related to Sardinia." Sardinia was the capital of trade, not under the jurisdiction of any lord. It was a rare place of freedom in the empire. Sardinia was guarded by the Emerald Bucks of the Imperial Army. Of course, this was only a division of the Bucks. However, the one in charge of this division is a general. "

"General Sling."

Alan muttered, "The empire's army is made up of a hundred men and a thousand men. The three divisions can be divided into one division. I heard that the Bucks have the largest number of men in the empire, but they are also the weakest. Sardinia is guarded by a division of the Bucks, so this General Slyn is naturally related to the higher-ups of the Bucks?"

"The commander of the Bucks, General Koehler, seems to be an old subordinate of Marshal Roderick." Edward turned around and smiled, "Do you think Blackfeather's slave trader is Koehler or Roderick?"

Alan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not the omnipotent Lord that Father Miro always talks about. How do I know? We're going to Sardinia anyway, and we'll have to think about General Slyn first. Whoever the boss is, General Slyn is inseparable."

"I have to remind you, according to the strength of the empire, the strength of an Empire General should be equal to that of a Commonwealth Major General, equal to that of an Earl. Why bother provoking such a general?"

Ellen laughed dryly, "Do you think that if I don't provoke others, they will turn a blind eye to me? We've already stabbed their hornets' nest. As long as we show up in Sardinia, General Slyn won't be willing to kill us. Anyway, we'll meet anyway. I won't be courteous."

Edward remained silent.

Three days passed quickly. Early in the morning, the land of darkness was not peaceful. Thieves of all sizes in the Dark World became active. From all directions in the Land of Darkness, teams headed towards the Evil Teeth Barrier. These teams ranged from a dozen to dozens of people. They all gathered towards the Evil Teeth Barrier. That scene was quite spectacular. According to Ellen's instructions, Butara and Weiss had invited all the top ranked bandits to gather at the Evil Teeth Barrier in the Land of Darkness. This was a rare event in the Land of Darkness.

For this reason, the Evil Tooth Barrier was well prepared. Gurus and Gunn organized the War Wolf's original troops to take on the responsibility of luring them at the foot of the mountain. On this pack of bandits, Zhan Lang's men were even more needed to calm down the situation and maintain order.

The Unable and Zombie Shadows also sent people to help, and at the same time, the pirates at the gathering could see the attitudes of Butara and Weiss from the side. In this way, apart from the leaders, everyone else had to stay at the foot of the mountain, so no one dared to disobey.

When Alan walked out of the Undying Temple with King Crimson, Edward, Regis, and the others. The square in front of the temple was already packed with people. Those were the leaders of the bandits that had been invited. Alan glanced at him and whispered, "There are quite a few people."
