Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1301: Pour Oneself into an Attack

"What are you whispering about?"

Andos stood up, threw away the bottle in his hand, and picked up a new bottle of wine. He unscrewed the lid of the bottle and poured it into his mouth, "I have to say, the drink you invented is quite good."

At this time, Alan turned around and looked at him, "I think I know who stopped you."

"Who is it?"

"Beskard's former Patriarch Horn, I originally thought that he died in the Iron Prison's explosion, but now it seems that's not the case." Alan sighed, "The blade Qiu Yan in Horn's hand is the same as your description. After the Iron Prison explosion, Horn's body was not found. I have always had reservations about his death. It seems that he is indeed not dead."

"What's there to be dead or not? What's the use of saying this?"

Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "How could it be useless? If Horn didn't die in the Iron Prison, then where did he go and what did he do during this period of time?" He is not the kind of person who can do extra work. There must be a reason why he disappeared under our noses under the pretext of fake death. Perhaps it was to investigate us. So we can't let him live, at least not in Babylon. "

"Andos, you have to go to Castle Ugarte again!"

Andos said indifferently, "I don't think that's necessary."

"Why?" Alan frowned.

'"Because, it's time" Andos raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the warehouse.

Alan followed his gaze, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

It was dark in Babylon, but not dim in space. Apart from the starlight, the rainbow bridge space station on the other side of the moon was flickering with enough light to illuminate a corner of the icy space. And farther away, one could faintly see a silver belt. Of course, there won't be any silver belts in space, so in fact, that's Earth's space defense line. There are five space base stations as nodes, and there are self-disciplined weapons distributed between the nodes. They are called the unmanned ship "Haimdal", which is called the space turret. Its name originated from the guardian of the Heaven Realm in Nordic mythology, so its function was appropriate.

The ring-shaped line of defense formed from space base stations and self-disciplined weapons was known as the "Ring of Dawn." This line of defense has been built since the Battle of Dawn and is regarded as the hope of a new era.

At this moment, not far from the moon, in one of the space base stations in the Ring of Dawn, Station Master Ravis had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a string of first aid calls. Ravis has been in the space station for more than ten years. This middle-aged man has curly hair like steel wire and a strong line. This makes him look like a hard man to yield to. The truth was that Ravis was famous for his bad temper in the space station, and he had offended many people for this. Otherwise, with his seniority, he should have been transferred elsewhere, but he is still the station master of a space station.

But Ravis didn't care about it. He liked the job and was proud of it.

"You'd better have enough reason to do this, or I'll let you guys know how scary it is to wake a person who is just about to fall asleep." The space station manager, who was wearing a well-built outfit, took the communicator and said in a low voice, crawling out from under the blanket.

"I'm sorry to wake you up, Station Master, but I still have to invite you to the command center. Just a minute ago, we discovered that there was an abnormality in the spatial reading!" On the other side of the communicator was Lavis' adjutant, Captain Maud, a strict and rigid man.

Hearing Maud's voice, Ravis realized that the situation was not simple. He put down his communicator, put on his uniform and quickly left his room. Moments later, he walked into the command center's gate. The people in the command center shuttled through, and all sorts of readings were shouted out by the staff. This lively scene was completely different from before. Ravis quickly walked onto the bridge platform and saw Mo De from afar. He was surrounded by a few people, as if he was discussing something.

Seeing Lavis appear, Maud squeezed out of the crowd and handed a tablet to the stationmaster. Ravis took a look. The screen was filled with data and graphs of spatial readings. Looking at the rising curves, Ravis's expression turned very bad.

Several Ring of Dawn base stations monitor Origin Energy's reaction in outer space 24 hours a day, and space readings now far exceed horizontal values, suggesting that a spatial tunnel is taking shape and is about to open, meaning that the planet could be attacked by external forces. "Contact Rainbow Bridge and see if they have received any requests for access from Alliance members," Ravis said hurriedly, putting down the tablet.

"I've already contacted you. I haven't received any applications from any of the alliance members lately." Mo De said solemnly.

"Damn it, could it be an enemy? But how is that possible? The Star Defense Line did not give any warning."

"So, what should we do now?" Captain Maud asked.

Ravis held the railing and shouted, "Activate the first level alert. All self-disciplined weapons within my jurisdiction are on standby. Also, Maud, contact Babylon immediately. This matter needs to be reported to the President immediately."

"Yes, sir."

On the Ring of Dawn defense line, the unmanned ships on both sides of the space base station began to stand by. At this moment, at a very far distance from this line of defense, space suddenly twisted like a curtain. At the same time, a frantic alarm sounded from the command center of the space station. The space reading had reached a critical value, and a passage was about to open! Ravis looked at the big screen with an ugly expression. At this time, the command center became quiet and everyone held their breaths.

On the screen, a thin ray of light appeared in the distorted space. Then, with this light as the center, space suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a rainbow-colored spatial passageway. The diameter of this passageway was over ten kilometers. In Ravis's impression, a spatial passageway of this size was completely prepared for the fleet to pass through.

Finally, a battleship-class starship jumped out of the passageway. The starship's lines were smooth, and its hull was clearly segmented. After it jumped out of the spatial passageway, it extended its wings from both sides of the segmented hull, and then it moved up and down, moving in space like a big fish.

"Biomimicry? This is a Nelm starship. Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!" Ravis roared.

On the screen, more and more starships enter space through space passages. The ones simulating fish swimming in the water are Nelm's fleet of battleships, responsible for providing heavy firepower support. Behind the battleships, motherships that were like giant demonic fish began to slide out of the passageways. As soon as these flat motherships exited the passageways, they opened all the cabin doors and threw themselves into countless small battleships.

Outside space, the warships quickly formed into formations. Groups of warships were scattered around the battleships, forming an offensive formation. As the spatial passageway continued to surge out, another passageway opened, followed by the third and fourth! A total of four large tunnels opened, and Nelm's fleet quickly entered space, forming a large fleet. From the screen of the space station, one could see that the outer space of the Ring of Dawn was filled with enemy ships.

"Damn it, how could this be?" Ravis turned around and shouted, "Can't we get in touch with the president?"

"No," Maud replied from the other side, "Babylon can't get in touch with Mr. President."

"What about Marshal Capulo?"

"Marshal doesn't seem to have returned from the interstellar line yet."

"Damn it!" Ravis punched the railing heavily. "These Nelm people really know how to pick the time."

"Stationmaster, Admiral Hillfa is on the ninth line!"

'"Take it," Ravis replied.

A window popped up on the big screen. It was Hillfa's figure. The young federal general asked calmly, "What's going on, Station Master Ravis? I heard you're contacting Mr. President and Capullo Marshal?"

"It's good to see you, General." "This is bad," Ravis shouted. "The Nelm fleet is now in space outside the Ring of Dawn. This is an attack, an invasion!"

Hillfa's expression also changed, "Number of enemies?"

"A lot!" Ravis looked at the mosquito-like enemy fleet and said bitterly, "The warship alone is estimated to be a million."

"What?" "That's almost all of Hillfa's military strength. Why didn't the interstellar line send out any alarms when they attacked?" Nelm exclaimed.

"I'm not sure about that. General, what should we do now?"

Hillfa shouted, "You must defend the line. We cannot contact Mr. President now, and Capulo Marshal is not on Earth. We can only send out my troops to support you first. I will ask the House to activate the emergency agreement as soon as possible!"

After saying that, the window closed. It should be Hillfa contacting the House of Representatives and military officials. Ravis looked at the enemy ships on the screen and smiled bitterly. Of course, he would do his best to defend the defensive line, but seeing so many enemy ships, he didn't even have the slightest bit of confidence.

"Contact other base stations and activate the highest alert status of the Ring of Dawn!" Ravis gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we die, we have to drag these guys here!"

Babylon, Black Street.

In the warehouse, Alan lowered his head and said, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?"

Andos chuckled dryly and pointed at the ceiling. "As we speak, if nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty's army should have reached the area of your Ring of Dawn defense line. In other words, it's time to attack."

"What?" Alan said angrily, "Why didn't you notify me? Furthermore, it doesn't match the time that Cajasso said."

"The reason is very simple." Andos walked to his side and lowered his head to Alan's ear. "Because His Majesty said that you are no longer of any use!"
