Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1386: Endless Destruction

It was night, and a copy of the information was sent to Alan. The information was sent by Melody, saying that it was the information Luche wanted her to pass on. Alan's spirits lifted and he knew that it was information about the secret weapon Bali had brought from Demoic Ring City.

After reading the information, Alan heavily exhaled, his expression extremely solemn.

Seeing this, Laura asked curiously, "Why is that weapon so powerful?"

"Yes, Morocco also said before that the weapon was claimed to have been killed by a Sovereign or below. I thought it was an exaggeration, but if Luche's information is correct, then Morocco's words are not exaggerated at all." Allen smiled bitterly. "Just think about how powerful it is when its driver is actually using the Heart of the Stars."

Laura was surprised. Of course she knew what the Heart of the Stars was. That was the core of the planet. At that time, Alan used it to release some Origin Energy, allowing her, Hubble, and the others to advance successfully. However, considering that the so-called secret weapon needed the Heart of the Stars as its driving force, it couldn't be overestimated how powerful it was. Laura suddenly remembered something and said, "When we first arrived at Agares, we got the Heart of the Stars from the Kidd. Could this Heart of the Stars be "

Allen said on her behalf, "That's right, the Heart of the Stars should be prepared for this weapon."

"If that's the case, Demonic Shadow Empire shouldn't have a second Star Heart right now. Then it doesn't pose a threat at all, right?"

"No, Luche has already pointed out in the intelligence that Demonic Shadow Empire's weapons engineers have modified it. They used another kind of energy instead of the Heart of the Stars as the driving force for this weapon "

"What? There's actually other energy that can replace the Heart of the Stars?"

"Yes." Alan said in a deep voice, "It's life!"

"As long as enough lives are sacrificed, the Origin Energy released by the victim can replace the Heart of the Stars. Moreover, the energy of life is more powerful than the power of the core. Luche said that when necessary, Bali will probably use the residents of Moktan as victims in order to charge the weapon."

'"This is too cruel!" Laura couldn't help but cover her mouth.

'"This is the Barbarian. Besides, that person is still Bali. It's not surprising that he has such a plan. I have to think of a way to deal with it carefully. You should go rest first."

Laura nodded and left first. Alan was the only one left in the room, and his gaze returned to the information on hand. According to Luche's intelligence, the weapon was called "Endless Shatter," and when powered by enough energy, it could launch a liquid substance. If they were to be absorbed by this flowing substance, then experts below the Paragon level would be devoured by that substance, and even annihilated without a trace.

At the beginning of the design, the ideal driver of endless shattering was the Heart of the Stars. Especially the cores taken from the young planets, it would make the power of endless destruction even greater. That was why Demonic Shadow Empire asked the Kidds to send over such a Heart of the Stars. Unfortunately, Alan and the others had accidentally knocked on it and snatched away the Star Core. Currently, only one-third of the energy in the Heart of the Stars was left, which was currently reserved by Mitinus for use as a high-grade weapon or as a monarch.

After losing the Heart of the Stars, Spenak asked Demonic Shadow Empire's weapons engineers to refine the endless source of power. After all, the Heart of the Stars was not something that could be said to exist. Moreover, randomly extracting a star core would attract Adahua Planet's attention and interference, thus exposing this weapon in advance. After accepting the Demon King's orders, the engineers of Demonic Shadow Empire had indeed done a lot of hard work. They soon found a new source of energy that could replace the Heart of the Stars, and that was life energy.

In particular, the Baltic life force was much more powerful than any other race in the universe. Moreover, the violent nature of the Barbarians, with their lives as the driving force, further increased the power of the Endless Shattering. Luche also found out that before the Endless Shatter was shipped to Moktan, a large number of townspeople had suddenly disappeared along the route. She suspected that those residents who disappeared should have become the experimental victims of the Endless Shatter.

In those few words, Alan smelled a strong smell of blood, something that was completely unimaginable on other planets. No race would casually sacrifice a large number of its compatriots just to experiment with a single weapon like the Barbarians. This was also the terrifying aspect of the Barbarians. Their reproduction speed was simply too fast, so fast that Sbernak didn't care about the lives of the people of his empire at all. For the Demon King, this sacrifice could be made up in at most ten years, and there would even be more people.

After reading the information, Alan thought of another question.

Without a doubt, the Endless Shattering should be a major secret of Demonic Shadow Empire, even if this weapon was currently in Moktan, even a businessman like Morocco had heard of it. To be able to find out so much information about the strength of an assassination guild, Allen doubted whether Luche had any other power behind it. Otherwise, if any guild could dig out Demonic Shadow Empire's secrets, then the empire would be a bit too unbearable.

The next day, Alan appeared at the barracks outside Gale City. There was no surging speech, no incitement, no mobilization. Alan just pointed north and said, "Camp, fight!"

One day, the thirty thousand troops of the Forgotten Realm followed Alan out of the camp to welcome the troops from Mokedan. Alan planned to eat his enemies at Reaper's Hill, thirty thousand against thirty thousand.

There was a great desert called Death's Hill between Mokedan and the wasteland. Before Mokedan was only three border towns, when the wasteland was still open to the wilderness, Death's Hill was definitely a place that caused people's expressions to change. There were traps everywhere in this desert, and the ubiquitous quicksand belt had devoured countless lives. Perhaps after digging through the sand, one could see a large number of corpses beneath the desert. It was like a colorless cemetery. The graveyard also had bugs that could move freely in the sand. The smallest bugs were as thick as tree trunks, and the larger bugs were as thick as oil barrels. They were the nightmares of past travellers, the true masters of the Hills of Death.

These strange insects, known as death insects, usually infested in colonies. Insects would build nests in the Reaper's Hill Desert. If they accidentally landed in the nest, it would be an irreparable disaster. Even Dominator-level experts were unwilling to provoke these insects easily. Many areas of the Reaper's Hill Desert belonged to quicksand, and sand often flowed. As a result, the location of the bug's nest often changed. Before the Great Wasteland and Moktan grew stronger, the travelers in the past would always be frightened when they passed through the desert. But now, the chances of being attacked by dead insects have fallen dramatically. In order to facilitate communication, some big merchants spent money to catch dead insects and study their physiological structure, but they discovered the weakness of these insects. Dead insects living in the desert all year round are naturally afraid of the sound of a particular wave band, and an anthelmintic device has been invented to send out special waves that only dead insects can hear to chase away possible swarms of insects.

However, this method might not necessarily be able to see ten thousand tries and ten thousand spirits. Occasionally, the sound waves emitted by the insect repellent would be counterproductive, causing the swarm to explode. However, this was a small probability event, and only two or three of them had occurred in ten years. Therefore, the deworming apparatus had always been an essential device for land transportation between the two places.

Even this Shadow Army convoy heading for the Great Wasteland was no exception.

In front of the convoy, a row of troop carriers were equipped with driving devices. The special sound waves emitted covered a large fan-shaped area in front of the convoy. On the evening of the day the convoy entered the Reaper's Hill, they passed by a giant bug nest. Driven by the sound waves of the convoy ahead, thousands of insects were churning under the desert, and the scene was spectacular as spectacular as it could be. Especially some thick dead insects. Occasionally, they would emerge from the ground and arch into the sand. They were like flood dragons that were churning, causing the world to be filled with noise. Due to the worm slot, the convoy had to suspend its travel and wait for the deworming truck to drive the swarm of insects a distance away before continuing its journey.

The one in charge of commanding this army was an imperial general, Darcy. This general, who had only been assigned to Moktan by the empire three years ago, was ambitious and ranked first among the three Moktan generals. Darcy, who was much younger than the other two generals, knew very well that staying in Mokedan was a hopeless thing, so from the day he was transferred to Mokedan, the general had planned how he would return to the Eastern Front.

Only on the frontlines could one obtain military merits, and only military merits could one continue to climb up. This was almost the consensus of the generals of the empire.

However, in Mokedan's place, not to mention military contributions, he didn't even have a single war. For three years, Darcy didn't even have a chance to make a move, let alone make a difference. When Berserker Bali arrived, he finally saw hope. Everyone knew how cruel Bali was, but at the same time, they also knew that under this Grand Superintendent, the death rate was the highest and his promotion was the fastest. As a result, Bali had just arrived at Mokedan and did not even have the authority to override Gurant. Darcy had already sworn an oath of service to Bali.

It was only natural for Bali to appoint him as Commander-in-Chief for this expedition to the Great Wasteland.

Now there was only one thing Darcy wanted to do, suppress the wasteland and dismantle the rumoured army. This would be a great merit, enough to exchange for his qualifications to return to the Eastern Front. Darcy did not even think of failing, even though there were a hundred thousand troops stationed in Gale City. However, he knew that even if the other party refused to disband the army or even retaliate, the vast wasteland would be ruthlessly suppressed by Bali. Darcy believed that as long as the wasteland lord's mind was still normal, he would have to obediently disband the army.

After all, Darcy represented Demonic Shadow Empire. Even if the Wasteland Army could eat their vanguard, could they really dare to attack Mokedan? Ten thousand steps back, even if they had the strength to attack the Mork Pill. But do they dare to fight? If they fought, it would be equivalent to provoking the entire Demonic Shadow Empire. To a large empire, the wasteland was nothing more than a mosquito flying high and low beside a lion.
