Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1302: Ashes And Smoke

"Because His Majesty said that you are useless!"

When Alan heard this, he thought that he had heard wrong, and his chest ached. His entire body trembled violently, and then he slowly lowered his head to look, only to see Andos' large hand stabbing into his chest. He could feel that his heart was being gripped tightly by the alien's palm. Alan gasped, "No, that's not right. It shouldn't be like this. I shouldn't be here!"

"Is that so? I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can only die here." Andos twitched hard.

The light shone on him and Alan, casting their shadows on a mountain of boxes. Alan's shadow spat out a mist of blood from his chest, and a few drops of blood fell onto the box. Alan's shadow shook and finally fell to the ground.

The moment Alan fell, all of his ambitions were wiped out.

Andos threw Alan's heart under his feet and stepped on it. He glanced at Alan's corpse and muttered, "Don't tell me you have at least the strength of a general? How could it be so easy to kill? Could it be that all generals on Earth are at this level? That's too easy to kill. Who cares? In short, you don't have to listen to this idiot's orders at all. That's great."

"Let me kill all the people here as a celebration."

A moment later, the door of the warehouse suddenly exploded, and a few men beside the door fell to the ground, gnawing on mud. One of them stood up and cursed. Suddenly, his head was caught by a big hand. Through his fingers, he saw Andos' cruel and ferocious face.

Then, screams echoed out continuously.

Along with screams and sharp alarms, ear-piercing sirens suddenly sounded from Babylon. Roddy, who was about to leave, stood at the door. He looked at the dim night sky in surprise. The sound of the alarm was like a sharp awl, completely tearing apart the tranquility of the night. At this moment, he saw a small amount of starlight streak across the sky and disappear into the thick clouds above the floating island. Roddy immediately used his eyes to see that the starlight was actually the lights on the outside of the starships.

Starlight continued to fly. Judging from the numbers, at least one of the standard divisions' fleets had rushed into the sky. Roddy's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw that Horn had heard the alarm. The father and son exchanged glances and saw the deep worry in each other's eyes.

"Father, this is "

Horn shook his head. "I don't know what happened, but this kind of alarm has never sounded before. Something terrible has probably happened. No matter what, you go back to the castle immediately and prepare for everything. I will stay here. You don't have to worry about me."

Roddy nodded without hesitation. He got into the flying car. The flying car started to turn around and disappeared at the end of the street after a while. Horn looked in the direction where the flying car disappeared. He took a deep breath and said to Anna, "Go get Qiu Yan. It seems that she can't sleep tonight."

In outer space, the Ring of Dawn, which had originally been a ring around the Earth, formed a defensive line. The unmanned ships were constantly arranged around the space station under Lavis' charge, forming a silver wall that stood in space. If the earth was seen as a castle, then these unmanned ships formed a city wall. Outside the city wall, the Nelm squadron was already on the verge of moving.

A series of warships flew out from the dense and thick fleet. They began to swim towards the defensive lines of the Ring of Dawn like some crippled tentacle, and everyone knew that the Nelm were prepared to launch a tentative attack. In the space station, Ravis nervously looked at the big screen. As the Nelm vanguard fleet entered the firing range of the drone, Ravis shouted, "Attack!"

As a result, the silver wall began to shine with a fluorescent light. A moment later, countless beams of light whistled over, interweaving into a dazzling rain of light that instantly landed on the Nelm people's vanguard fleet. Small battleships were shot into sieves, and flames sprayed out from the interior of the hull, turning into brightly colored fireballs in space. Fireballs burst out one after another. Looking at the large screen of the space station, flames covered the entire screen.

People cheered in the command center, but Ravis didn't have a smile on his face. After the flames on the screen disappeared, one could see that the enemy ships on the other side of the line were almost the same as before, so the cheers from before quickly disappeared.

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Ravis's cheek.

At this moment, the densely packed enemy ships on the screen began to press in. Even though it was just a screen image, the suffocating oppressive feeling made people speechless. Ravis used all his strength to shout, "The enemy is launching a general attack. All combat units, watch out! Don't let go of any enemy ships!"

It was indeed a general attack.

The Nelm fleet pressed forward, and the small warships charged into Earth's space defenses in formations. This time, the rain of light from the Silver Wall could no longer stop them from advancing. As the fireballs exploded, other warships continued to attack and retaliate against the rain of light. The alien battleships weren't decorative either. The mimicry technology allowed the nodal hull to swim in space like a fish. The cannon fire from the unmanned ship landed on them and was absorbed and guided by the shield. From time to time, the main cannon of the battleship would shoot out a brilliant pillar of light, and correspondingly, the silver wall would be blasted open.

Even under the command of the space station crew, the unmanned ship quickly rearranged and repaired the gap, but the speed at which the unmanned ship was damaged still left Ravis shocked. With this speed, the Ring of Dawn would soon be completely destroyed. The Nelm squadron was simply too large. At the beginning of the construction of the space defense line, they had never expected that the alien army would come straight to their doorstep. This line of defense is more useful for demonstrations and for defending against attacks of general proportions.

However, the current number of Nelm squadrons clearly exceeded the limits of the line of defense.

Ravis did not know how long the line of defense would last.

As the outer space was lit up by the flames of war, the already stable space behind the Nelm fleet distorted once again. The magnitude of the distortion was no less than before, and readings were quickly received at the space station. A space station crew member who monitored space energy screamed, "Not good, stationmaster! There's been another anomaly in space readings, and a new space tunnel is about to open."

"What!" Ravis took two steps back and blurted out, "Could it be the enemy reinforcements? They still have reinforcements?"

On the big screen, the enemy was advancing step by step. The number of unmanned ships was not enough to fill all the gaps. However, the people of Nelm still had reinforcements that were about to arrive on the battlefield. If that was the case, even if Hillfa's troops arrived, they would still not be able to fight this battle!
