Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1595: Push a Boat Along the River

["How is His Highness?"

In the camp of the Eastern Army, a middle-aged general was walking towards the main tent. A few officers followed, one of them said, "Your Highness's injuries shouldn't matter. It's just that the prey you originally obtained has escaped in vain. Your Highness is in a very bad mood now. General Ma, I think you should go and touch your Highness's bad luck at this time."

"Do you think I want to do this? But there's nothing I can do. King Jiwu, the adopted son of Hong Lie, is about to arrive. I have to inform His Highness to be prepared."

As he spoke, the main tent was within sight. Several physicians were coming out of the tent. One of them was holding a wooden bucket in his hand. The water in the bucket had already turned into blood. The other man's bowl was covered in bloody towels, and it looked like West Conqueror's injuries weren't light either.

General Ma frowned and said loudly outside the tent, "Ma Yuan greets His Highness."

West Conqueror said in the tent, "Come in."

The voice sounded a little weak, General Ma hurriedly opened the tent and entered it. There was a medicinal fragrance in the tent. West Conqueror sat on the big seat and took a sip from a small incense burner. "What's the matter?" He asked.

General Ma knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I just received an urgent report. Hong Lie, son of the Supreme Martial King, is bringing a troop over. He said that we have been late in building an attack, so he sent Hong Lie to help our army."

"Bastard!" West Conqueror withdrew his fingers and the incense burner exploded in his hand. He suddenly stood up and said, "That old King Jiwu can't help but want to interfere with me?"

General Ma hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please calm down." The adopted son of Hong Lie was not weak. King Jiwu had always been arrogant, and this Hong Lie had given him the same temperament. Since King Jiwu has sent him over, why don't we just let the troops of King Jiwu play for us? With Hong Lie's temperament, there was no reason for him to refuse as long as he was slightly stimulated. "It would be a good thing for him to fight against the experts from the Barbarians. If he were to lose and injure both of them, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

West Conqueror frowned. Normally, he would have scolded Ma Yuan half to death. But when he fought with Angeloni last night, Ma Yuan's suggestion was quite pleasing to his heart, as his opponent's reckless fighting style left him with a lingering fear. After taking a few steps back and forth to make a gesture, West Conqueror nodded and said, "Alright, I need a few days to recover from my injuries. Let the people of King Jiwu lead the way for this king. I want to see how capable that Hong Lie is. I'm afraid that he won't be able to gain face for King Jiwu and instead will make a face for that old thing."

Ma Yuan immediately smiled and said, "If this is the case, it can also break King Jiwu's prestige."

"Let's do this."

This matter was settled.

Dawn Castle.

"This is what happened."

In the study, after listening to a Dark Blade report, Edward nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Annie would actually have this kind of combat strength. She stopped West Conqueror alive. If she was willing to take action, then our battle would be a little easier in the future."

"Where is she now?"

"On the bauhinia collar, Lord Orlando is also there to recover."

Edward stood up and said, "The Bauhinia Collar is going to be the frontline battlefield. I was supposed to be there, but now is the right time. Get ready. I'm going to the Bauhinia Collar. No matter what, I have to convince Annie."

Even so, Edward knew that it wasn't as simple as trying to convince a Ten Saints. Even if Annie agreed, the conditions she offered would definitely be harsh. But at such a time, it was worth it to be able to rope in a Ten Sacred Battle Strength expert regardless of the conditions.

A moment later, a convoy was ready.

Edward walked out of the City Lord's Mansion to get on the bus, but was stopped by someone. It's Ruo La. She brought two maids over. Edward waved his hand and told the people beside him to retreat. "Earl, I heard that something happened in Orlando?" Said Jorah.

"Don't worry, Lord Orlando is only slightly injured. It doesn't matter." Edward smiled.

Ruo La nodded and said, "I just received the news. I heard that it was a woman named Annie who saved him?"

"Yes, I am going to the Bauhinia Necklace to see Miss Annie. If we can get her help, it will be beneficial to our war."

"No, what I care about is, why didn't the count send someone to save Orlando, but an outsider?" Ruo La said in a deep voice.

Edward looked at her and said softly, "Lady Jorah, this is too harsh of an accusation." The Coiling Dragon Empire's pursuit of Lord Orlando last night was very secret. By the time I received the news, Miss Annie had already rescued Lord Orlando. "Actually, I was very curious how Miss Annie learned about Lord Orlando. I came here to solve this puzzle."

"Tell me, then, if Miss Anne hadn't been there, would the count have sent someone to rescue Orlando?"

Edward smiled and said, "Isn't that obvious? As your husband or the son of the Marquis of Iron Spear, it's worth my all to save Lord Orlando. Lady Jorah, believe me, although I'm not very upright, I know that there are some things I have to do."

Jorah nodded. "Alright, I trust you. Sorry to disturb you, count."

"No matter what, being able to untie your knot is more important than anything else."

After saying that, Edward got in the car.

The horses were getting farther and farther away, but Ruo La's expression was incomparably gloomy. A maid beside him said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"I can't believe that man." Jorah shook her head and said, "He's different from Alan. There are too many secrets in his eyes. He's a man that scares me."

"Then?"

"I need to send a message to the Iron Spear Leader. Use our channels."

In the carriage, Edward lifted the curtain and a dark blade rode to the side. "Notify our people to block all channels of information and pay special attention to the arrival of the spear collar," Edward said. "If you find anything, immediately intercept it and hand it over to me."

"Yes sir."

Putting down the curtains, Edward rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Don't mess with me at this time, Miss Ruola."

Bauhinia collar.

"Did I say anything? Hannah, can you hurry up a little? I'm sitting so fast that I'm going to fall asleep."

In a room, Hannah was cleaning Angeloni's wounds. When the West King of Peace fought, this woman completely ignored the attacks of her opponent, causing numerous wounds on her body. Even Hannah, who was a mercenary, frowned when she saw the wounds on Angeloni's body.

"If you want to hurry, don't move, Miss Annie. I also want to end it quickly."

Angeloni, who was picking up a bottle with one hand, shrugged and said, "You blame me?"

There was a knock on the door, and a gentle voice came from outside, "I'm Orlando. Is Miss Anne there?"
