Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1316: Timid Battle

Due to the limited time available, Mitinas had only provided a dozen or so fire falcons. Hillon organized them into a team and let them scout the enemy. If the numbers were to form a large scale, they could throw the Fire Falcon into battle. However, when it came to aerial combat units, they were similarly low-level weapons. Clearly, Fire Boy was more suitable. Therefore, Mitinus did not intend to produce too many fire falcons. He only used them as ears and eyes in the sky.

On the afternoon of the third day, Alan, who was sitting quietly with his saber in his arms, suddenly felt an aura of publicity. He opened his eyes and smiled, "How arrogant." He knew that Luci had come.

By the time Alan arrived at the city wall, Laura and the others had already arrived. From here, a black line quietly appeared on the snowy plains to the west. The black line gradually formed into a black tide. Allen's eyes widened, and the snowy plains quickly retreated in his eyes. Then, he saw the spider that Trisley was talking about.

The first few lines of the surging spider tide were grey and unadorned servant spiders. They weren't big, but they were the largest in number. Alan swept his gaze casually, and there were probably tens of thousands of them. Of course, the auras of these spiders were pitifully weak, but if they were to be counted, there would be some value to them.

The servant spider was followed by the wolf spider and sword spider.

Wolf spiders were adept at advancing, while sword spiders were arachnids that fought close to each other in their nests. The former could be regarded as cavalry, while the latter was naturally infantry. These two species of arachnids were the backbone of the arachnid nest, and their numbers were only a little less than the servant arachnids. Together, they were 5,000 in number.

Behind them were the Poisonous Water Spider, the Weaver, the upper-body humanoid, and the lower-body arachne. The number of these special arachnids was much smaller, especially the arachnids. They were the tyrannical warriors of the arachne nest, only a hundred of them. As for the Elder Spiders, there were even fewer. The thick-shelled spiders moved slowly beside Yami's giant spider. Yami stood on top of the spider's head and narrowed her eyes in the direction of Bai Xicheng. Unfortunately, her stopping power was inferior to Alan's, so she could not see the people on the city wall.

She turned to the side of the spiders, where Luci and his army followed closely behind. They had a negotiation yesterday and decided that Yami would be the striker, and if Alan played, Luci would be the one to end it. As for Yami and Blue Devil, it was up to them to decide whether to attack or not. In short, a Bai Xicheng was simply not seen by the three of them. Even though Luci had heard that Alan had some followers under him, those experts who didn't even exceed Level 30 wouldn't be able to get on the stage. The only thing worth paying attention to was Trisley, who had defected from Azes, but Luci's personal guard captain, Cardin, was able to suppress that woman.

"No matter what, we will definitely win." Luci couldn't help but laugh.

On the walls of Bai Xicheng, Alan was in the middle. Laura, Belmord and Bai stood on his left, while Tracy, Hubble and Hillon were on his right. Retracting his gaze from the snowy plains to the west, Alan tapped on the city wall with his finger and said, "There are three true experts "

"One is a woman." Alan whispered. He recalled where he had just seen the Bar woman standing on the head of the giant spider. The opponent was wearing an exposed red leather armor with four curved sickles on his back. His aura carried a hint of bloodthirst and cruelty. He was an extraordinary person.

"The other one should be Luci." As for the second one, although he couldn't see anyone, that person was also slightly restraining his aura. However, in Allen's eyes, the gray-white Origin Energy that he naturally emitted was very peculiar, and it would occasionally form the appearance of a devil, so the other party's identity was naturally on the verge of being revealed.

"But the third one, although he hides his Qi well and can't see anyone, I know there's such a person hiding inside " Alan pointed at his head with his finger. "You can call it intuition."

This might sound unfounded, but Alan's mental strength was so strong that only that mysterious woman could compare to him. Just like he said, he couldn't see or even feel the opponent's aura. However, when he glanced over, he could vaguely feel that the person was hiding in the arachnid pack. This was his intuition and also a manifestation of his powerful spiritual energy.

When Alan sensed Blue Devil, the latter also sensed it. His face was concealed in his hat, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but judging from his slight pause, his heart didn't seem to be calm. In the shadow of the hat, two blue lights suddenly lit up. At the same time, Alan, who was standing on the city wall, felt a burst of coldness. In his mind, Black Weapon snorted softly. Alan immediately knew that the hidden expert was also skilled in mental and willpower techniques.

Obviously, his opponent was using some mysterious method to contact him. Ellen's pupils slightly widened, and an arrogant aura arose in his heart. This spirit used the two of them as a bridge and fiercely collided with each other. At the same time, Blue Devil's entire body trembled. He suddenly felt that the surroundings were scorching hot. He looked up and saw that the spiders and his subordinates had disappeared for some reason. In front of him was a figure as lofty as a mountain. He couldn't even see the details of that figure clearly, only seeing the burning gaze of the other party.

When their eyes met, Blue Devil couldn't help but let out a low cry. His skin turned from blue to red, like a roasted shrimp. Hearing his voice, Yami, who was on the giant spider, turned around and shouted, "Are you alright?"

At this time, Blue Devil's skin had already recovered, but his entire body looked extremely dispirited. He shook his head and turned around to block the Spider Empress' line of sight at a clever angle. Only then did he reach out and wipe his face.

There was a piece of firefly-blue blood in his hand.

He had been severely injured by Alan during his mental contact just now. Only now did Blue Devil know why this person was able to escape from her spiritual kingdom.

Fifteen minutes later, the arachnids arrived at the city.

Arriving in front of the city, Yami sat down instead. The giant spider had a naturally bulging horn shaped like a seat on its head. The Spider Empress sat on the arachne, her legs crossed, her cheeks supported by one hand, as if she was watching a play. Under the control of the Elder Spider, although the spiders were ready to move, they did not immediately attack.

On the city wall, Ellen said, "Luci, are these your helpers?"

Luci, who was on the side of the battlefield, curled his lips and did not answer the question.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Alan smiled and suddenly looked at where Luci was. Angular distances are incredibly accurate. A few moments after Alan's gaze focused, it landed on Luci's face. Although he didn't know the White Devil, he knew that this man was Luci.

"Didn't you come for me? Do you dare to come out and fight me?"

Luci rolled his eyes. This was different from what he had planned. Moreover, it would be too cheap for Yami and Blue Devil to fight Alan one-on-one right now. "Do you think this is a duel? Put away your innocence, this is war! Why should I agree to your stupid request when we have the absolute advantage?" The White Demon snorted and walked forward, separating the crowd.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Unfortunately, Yami didn't respond, and Blue Devil couldn't laugh. Luci laughed dryly for a while and could only put away his laughter awkwardly.

"He's scared." Alan whispered. Then he looked at Yami and said, "Who are you? This is between me and Luci. It's not good for you to interfere randomly."

Yami sat on the arachne and said lazily, "Don't misunderstand. The cowards over there and I are not friends. It just so happens that we came together for the same purpose. As for our identities, don't worry, I will definitely tell you before you die."

A certain "coward" 's face was really hot. Luci cursed softly, and then his eyebrows knitted together. He faintly felt that Yi Fang, who was supposed to have the upper hand, had a bad feeling about being led by Alan's nose. '"Miss Luci," Yami coughed dryly, "they may be stalling for time to avoid a long night's sleep. Do you think we should launch an attack immediately?"

Yami had some contempt for Luci's "fear of war", but he knew that now was not the time to act emotionally. The sudden weakening of Blue Devil's aura and the strange atmosphere on the battlefield made her uneasy. Even Ya Xin felt that it was inappropriate, not to mention that the scene of her meeting with Alan was quite unexpected for Luci. The most important thing was Alan's state. He was neither nervous nor afraid, but a very relaxed posture. From the faint smile on his face, it could be seen that his aura had not been released, as if the scene of Fu Binglin facing the city was not something uncommon for him.

The Spider Empress frowned, still unable to find the source of her unease. No matter what, Yi Fang had no reason to lose. She took a deep breath and made a gesture. The Elder Spider immediately issued an order, and the restless swarm of arachnids in front of them immediately paddled towards each other and flew towards Bai Xicheng like flying on the snowy ground.

"Hillon, I'll leave the miscellaneous soldiers to you." Alan said softly.

Hillon forcefully hammered his own chest. The king raised his sword high and swung it towards the spiders below the city gate.

The cannonballs on the city wall and the surrounding commanding heights opened fire, and the Origin Energy cannonballs that emitted fierce flames shot into the air and descended from the sky in a large arc. The first cannonball landed a hundred meters away from Yami's giant spider. When the cannonball landed on the ground, it exploded into a fireball. Yami's eyebrows knitted even more tightly when the hot wind blew towards her.

The turrets fired one after another, and the sound of cannons rose and fell. The Origin Energy artillery shells focused on taking care of the arachnid army. A few soft and saturated bombardments came from the fort on the city, causing heavy casualties among the arachnid army, cutting off the main force and the vanguard arachnids from their waist forcefully. Seeing this, Yami suddenly stood up and shrieked at Luci, "Why is the opponent's firepower different from what you described?"

Luci was speechless. He only knew that Bai Xicheng's defensive system had almost collapsed in the previous battle. Even if more than half of them were repaired now, it would be impossible to create such a firepower net. The firepower net made up of thousands of turrets was far more powerful than he had expected.

At this time, the cannon fodder servant had already arrived in front of the city wall.
