Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1593: Samsara



Chapter 1593: Samsara

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Ruola put on a blanket.

A maid came in from outside the door and whispered, "Madame, Earl Edward wants to see you."

"Tell the count to wait in the living room."

Ruo La said, tidying up a little before leaving the bedroom.

In the living room, Edward stood at the window and looked at the city under the night sky. Even at night, Dawn Castle was still brightly lit, especially at the city walls. The light of the city shone on Edward, leaving Jorah with a handsome profile. Ruo La's heart trembled slightly. Back then, when this young man and that person appeared, they still carried a trace of youth's childish aura. Now, they had tempered their calmness and composure in the flames of war. In addition to his own appearance, he had become extremely attractive to women. Although the count had heard that he had a family, there were plenty of people who wanted to marry a woman into the count's family, but Edward always tactfully refused to do so, but his status did not fall but instead rose. Especially after the second prince, Julian, took the throne, Edward was even more valuable in the eyes of some people than the Marquis.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Edward turned around and nodded, "Ms. Jorah, are you used to it?"

"Of course I'm not used to it, but everything is fine. Is there anything important the count wants from me?"

Edward smiled and said, "No, I just want to know how you are living. If you need anything, please let me know."

Jorah sighed, "The count should be at the front right now. There's no need to worry about taking care of me."

"You can't say that. Our relationship with Lady Jorah is not shallow. Plus, you're pregnant now, so I naturally have to be careful." Edward said indifferently, "Marquis Horn wrote yesterday to inquire about your situation. If you don't take care of him properly, I'm afraid the old Marquis will ask for your guilt."

Ruo La forced a smile and asked, "How is the situation at Iron Spear Ridge?"

"Not good." Edward said straightforwardly, "Another Eastern army has besieged the Iron Spear Ridge. I heard that there is an expert like a cloud over there. There is also a very powerful expert. Marquis Horn almost died in his hands." Fortunately, one of the Ten Saints, Empress Scorpion Becatelu, arrived with her scorpion nest and finally eased the situation. However, Becatelu was no match for the so-called King Jiwu expert. If the chances of winning were to be divided into ten, the Empress Scorpion would only have 30% of the total.

Ruo La's expression changed, "With such a strong opponent, wouldn't Iron Spear Ridge be in danger?"

"Don't be nervous. The Empress Scorpion was sent by the Boleyn Family. The other Ten Saint Night Shadow Belkay also arrived at Iron Spear Ridge last night. With two Ten Saints present, we can still hold off a King Jiwu no matter what. The situation at Iron Spear Ridge is not good, but it won't be destroyed immediately."

Hearing what he said, Ruo La felt a little relieved.

"Now not only iron spear ridge, the empire north and south where the situation is good? An Eastern army had already advanced inland through Tiger Shark Harbor. They had made rapid progress and had defeated several imperial legions in succession. There was a tendency for them to force their way to the imperial capital. As for the south and the Iron Spear Ridge, it's not easy for us to live under siege. Although the trap has been laid and the morale of the enemy has been weakened to the greatest extent, we have a fatal weakness on our side. Edward sighed and said, "There is a serious shortage of experts, especially those at the Ten Saints level." Apart from the late Emperor and the Lost Sword Lord, as well as a few other saints who had no news at all, only the Empress Scorpion, the Night Shadow of the Boleyn Family, and the Twilight Prayer Midian could be found. Only two other Ten Saints had entered the imperial capital. As for us, we don't have any experts to support us. Now, it seems that the situation is 50-50. "But if we do fight, our advantage will soon be wiped out." A rare worry surged through Edward's eyebrows. "If only Lord Alan was here."

Hearing this name, Ruo La's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but ask, "Is there no news of him?"

Ever since Alan left Planet Heaven, there had been no news of him at all, and it was not until Adele, who had recently returned to Earth, that she had received any news of his whereabouts. Edward smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, my lord. Everything is fine, but it looks like there's no way to come back."

"But no matter what, I still have to protect the inheritance he left behind."

Ruola looked out of the window and sighed, "War I used to look forward to war. Our family started out as a businessman, but we managed Ark Harbor in an orderly manner." However, my brother's name as Earl is always criticized. It's just that our family's contribution to the battle is not obvious. That's why when I was sensible, I began to learn sword techniques and practice riding horses. I wanted to do my brother's outstanding contribution to the battle, so that I could shut up those people's mouths. From then on, I've been looking forward to the war. "

'"However, all these years have made me tired of this kind of struggle. It's fine for outsiders to fight each other. It's not as good as I thought. There is no justice, no right or wrong, only the flames of power and desire. When do you think the war will end, Count?"

Edward glanced at her and said, "With all due respect, I'm afraid that war will not really end until the entire universe is destroyed. Otherwise, fighting and peace are just a cycle of repetition, never ending."

"This " Ruo Luo lightly landed her hand on her lower abdomen. "I hope that when he is born, he will be able to live in peace."

"We will do our best." Edward whispered, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

Ruo pulled him to the door.

After the door closed, a figure appeared behind Edward. It was a man with a short black blade on his chest. "Sir," he whispered to Edward, "I've just received news that Sir Orlando's team has been ambushed and is in critical condition."

Edward stopped and his eyes turned incomparably cold. "What's the general situation? Is there any possibility of rescue?"

"It seems that the enemy's overseer personally took action. He is the man known as West Conqueror."

Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "The opponent is a Ten Saint level expert. If you want to save someone at the hands of such an expert, not to mention the heavy losses, I'm afraid you won't be able to save Orlando, right?"

"Your Excellency means "

Looking at the room, Edward sighed, "We don't have many experts. Even if Orlando is the son of the Iron Spear, he seems to have no choice but to give up. If we sacrifice the lives of others to save him, that would have a huge impact on the future layout."

"In that case "

"Conceal it a little. I'll find an explanation for Jorah and Marquis Horn."

Just as he finished speaking, another figure trotted over and whispered in Edward's ear, "That woman has gone to save Lord Orlando."

Edward's pupils changed slightly. Obviously, his emotions were fluctuating, but there was no change on the surface.

The woman's name is Annie.

Three months ago, when the Eastern army first appeared, Father Miro and the others evacuated from Ark Harbor. They were caught in an accident on the way. It was Annie who saved them. After that, Annie arrived at Dawn Castle and stayed with the Church. She especially liked to confess to Miro and occasionally did something. Edward could not judge her strength because the strength she displayed was not necessarily very strong. He only knew that she had a great advantage in a vegetated environment. If she hadn't concealed her strength, she would have barely managed to make it into the Ten Saints' ranks. This was also the only expert in the territory that was comparable to the Ten Saints. However, Annie's actions were arbitrary, so Edward could not consider her as a combat strength.

At this moment, he was surprised to hear that she had actually gone to save someone. However, this wasn't a bad thing. With Annie's help, there would be more chances to save Orlando. Moreover, she had to face West Conqueror, so she could use this opportunity to measure her true level.

Edward whispered, "Watch her."

The Dark Blade members behind him nodded and left.

Under the dark night, two groups of people were chasing after each other on a plain.

It was Orlando, the son of the spear, who was running ahead.

He held his gun in his hand and rode his horse wildly.

Originally, he had only participated in the scouting work on the frontlines, bringing a group of scouts to the enemy's position to investigate the truth, but he unexpectedly stepped into the enemy's trap. What was even more deadly was that the man who claimed to be West Conqueror had actually surrendered and hid himself in the enemy's army, unexpectedly giving him a blow. Fortunately, Orlando still had some luck, avoiding the fatal parts in time, but he was also seriously injured. At this moment, his face was pale and blood oozed out of his mouth from time to time.

The bloodline actually carried a faint purple intent, but it was caused by West Conqueror's ability.

Orlando knew better than anyone that his opponent was strong. Without a doubt, the kings of the Eastern army that had attacked this time were all extremely prickly people, and West Conqueror, the weakest of them, was also at the level of a Ten Saints. As for King Jiwu, I heard that he was even more powerful than the late Emperor.

Apart from the three kings, none of the generals leading the troops were weak. The entire army was filled with experts. Otherwise, there was no need for the Bailegunn Empire to be in such a sorry state.

The wind behind him suddenly blew loudly.

Orlando looked back and his scalp exploded.

A purple rainbow was hanging in midair, flying towards him at an incredible speed.

It was that West Conqueror.

He had no intention of letting Orlando go back. Orlando also knew why the pursuers behind him were always keeping a distance to drive them away, with the intention of exhausting their stamina. The real killer was West Conqueror.

During the March war at Ark Harbor, West Conqueror had known that Orlando was half the owner of the harbor. He was not prepared to let Orlando go, whether in public or private. Orlando had been severely injured in the previous trap, but now that he had almost dragged him down, he decided to kill him.

With purple flames wrapped around him, West Conqueror dragged a purple rainbow and threw it towards Orlando. The scouts behind Orlando shouted and stopped their horses. They turned around and rushed back, but they were desperately trying to stall West Conqueror's plan.

"An ant dares to shake a tree? You're courting death!" West Conqueror shouted as the purple rainbow passed through the seventeen warhorses. The scouts immediately struck out, and in the next moment, they exploded into balls of purple flames that were exceptionally eye-catching in the dark plains.
