Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1391: When I Die

At the same time that Allen and his group entered the heavy artifact room, a fierce battle was going on at the northern edge of Reaper's Hill.

In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Flying Ship from Mokedan arrived above Allen's camp. In order to quickly enter the Reaper's Hill to intercept Mokedan's troops, Allen asked for a light cavalry when he set off. Not to mention the fact that there were no air combat units such as airships, even the energy turrets that could be used in the air were not brought along. As a result, the Imperial Flying Ship was not intercepted at all, and it successfully reached the sky above the camp.

Fortunately, apart from the forces of the Forgotten Realm, Allen also brought his own private army. Hillon spread the Fire Horned Demon out early in the morning to serve as a scout. When Mockdale sent his troops, the Fire Horned Demon issued an alarm. When the Imperial Flying Ship arrived above the camp, 500 Fire Falcons had just left the camp and were temporarily entangled with the Imperial Flying Ship. However, Hillon knew that the Fire Falcons' combat power was limited. Their only advantage over the Empire's airships was their agility and speed. However, in front of the firepower, especially under the rain of light interweaved by a large number of flying ships, with just a single wave of explosions, nearly a hundred Fire Falcon corpses fell. Hillon knew how long the Fire Falcon would be able to endure the cruise around the flying ship.

Fortunately, with the Fire Falcon entangling them, they had at least split up most of the gunfire from the airships. Otherwise, the losses of the ground troops would be much more severe than they were now.

Soon, the earth trembled.

That was Bali's main force. The artillery fire from the Imperial Chariots pierced through the night sky and landed in the camp. The army of the Forgotten Realm quickly launched a counterattack. The two Forgotten Realm generals led their own subordinates to organize an offensive, but compared to the artillery fire from the Imperial Chariots, the firearms in the hands of the Forgotten Realm soldiers were obviously limited in power.

In particular, there was a Berserker Bali in the Imperial Army. He was as powerful as a super expert from the Federation Marshal and jumped off the chariot. He casually waved his fist. Bali threw out a casual punch, causing waves of air to surge. The dark red fist aura was like a cannon that could easily carve out a path of blood in the army of the Forgotten Realm. Seeing Bali's viciousness, Hubble, who was fully armed, spat out a stream of heat from his nostrils. He picked up the Dark Star that Alice had gifted him and prepared to fight. Laura also tightened her grip on the Queen of Hearts. The two of them and Hillon had the highest combat strength in the camp. However, the latter wanted to command the army, so the task of containing the experts naturally fell to them.

But they were stopped by Hillon, and Hubble said in a low voice, "What are you doing, tin can?"

Hillon, who was wrapped in ferocious heavy armor, deserved the nickname. The king, who wore heavy armor like Tong Wu, said calmly, "You two are important people to His Highness. Although His Highness did not say anything, I know this very well. The opponent's strength is above ours. If you rashly go out to battle, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see His Highness."

"Then let him slaughter our people?" Hubble shook his warhammer, which was constantly spraying black gaseous flames, and coldly snorted, "I can't do that."

"I know, but even if the two of you are going to fight, please wait a moment. At the very least, let me use some of his strength."

At the end of Hillon's words, a desolate horn sounded on the battlefield. The two of them raised their heads and saw a fire dragon suddenly appear in the night. It was a fire dragon made up of more than a thousand Flame Knights and three thousand Fire Horned Demons. The Fire Horned Demon rushed forward, followed by the Flame Knights. The two combat units formed a long dragon formation and charged straight towards the Berserk Demon. Laura looked at Hillon and said, "Are you going to use them to consume the enemy's strength?"

"Yes."

Using four thousand troops to consume one person's strength was something that even Hubble felt a little crazy about. '"They are just combat units. No matter how close they are to living beings, they are renewable consumables in battle. Not to mention them, I can do the same when necessary. This is the purpose of this legion. We are just tools to pave the way for His Highness!" Hillon said in a low voice.

Hubble and Laura looked at each other helplessly at Hillon's words. Suddenly, a berserk aura rose from the battlefield. The few of them saw that Bali and the Firehorn Demon had already come into contact with each other.

Bali rushed into a defensive position of a Forgotten Realm soldier. He killed all the people in this position in three or two strikes and was about to pounce on another position. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through his mind, and he didn't even look at it as he swung his fist. When he turned around, he could clearly see that his fist was slamming into the head of a strange beast. This strong Firehorn Demon was smashed into one side of Bali's head, but it still didn't die. There was still strength left to bite Bali's fist, and then he clenched his fists and punched Bali's body violently with both of his arms. Bali exclaimed. It wasn't that the Fire Horned Demon's attack was so intense, but that he was surprised that the Fire Horned Demon's vitality was so tenacious. Without any hesitation, the hand that was bitten in the mouth smashed into the ground, completely throwing the Fire Horned Demon into the ground. Only then did the light in the beast's eyes gradually dim.

More Fire Horned Demons pounced over one after another. They collided with Bali, using their limbs to grab him tightly before biting him or spitting out fiery flames from their mouths. Seven or eight Fire Horned Demons piled up a small hill on Bali's body. The Great Superintendent's roar sounded from within the hill. Dark red gaseous flames pierced out like blades, tearing the Fire Horned Demons into pieces. Bali was drenched in hot blood. The Great Superintendent's entire body was covered in green smoke. He stretched out his hand and wiped his face. The eyes of the beasts reflected the scene of the Fire Horned Demons charging towards him in groups.

Bali was not afraid but delighted. He laughed heartily and turned to greet him. He raised his fist and aimed it at a Fire Horned Demon that was charging at the front. The fist directly pierced through the beast's body and smashed into the body of a fire horned demon behind it. The beast immediately sounded like it was fracturing. Only then did Bali spit out a majestic fist aura that was like an iron pillar, knocking down and sending the Fire Horned Demons flying.

From afar, groups of Firehorned Demons were like a surging river of lava, but they crashed into Bali's pitch-black reef that was as hard as steel. As a result, a shimmering wave rose up. That wave was a Fire Horned Demon. In an instant, no less than a hundred Firehorn Fiends smashed Bali's fists into meat paste. Not only did Bali not retreat, he even took the initiative to welcome him. Everywhere the Grand Governor passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The constant attacks of the Fire Horned Demon could not even stop him from taking the next step.

When it rose, Bali let out a wolf howl. Suddenly, dark red gaseous flames rushed out of his body. The gaseous flames twisted together and condensed into a giant wolf phantom. The giant wolf phantom suddenly flashed out, its posture similar to that of a grey wolf running in the wilderness. The wolf phantom flew a hundred meters away in an instant, and the image slowly faded away. On the path of the Shadow Wolf, hundreds of fire horned demons extinguished at the same time and exploded into countless fragments. In an instant, Bali cleared the battlefield within a hundred meters.

If it was an ordinary army, they would probably be frightened by Bali's attack. Fortunately, Allen's army did not understand fear at all. The dead Firehorn Demon was quickly filled up by his fellow creatures. The wild beasts behind him continued to surge forward, stepping on the flesh and blood of their fellow creatures.

Bali narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Interesting."

The fierce battle was still going on. Judging from this situation, it would still take Bali some time to kill off this army of Fire Horned Demons and Flame Knights. In the rear position, Hillon pulled out the giant sword that was stabbed into the ground. The Sovereign King's body surged with Origin Energy, and he began to walk towards the battlefield where Bali was. Hubble raised his hammer, and a sword qi sliced open the ground, drawing a straight line in front of him. Hillon said in a low voice, "It's not time for the two of you to fight. Please endure for a while longer. At the very least, let's try our best to reduce the strength of our opponents. When I die, the two of you can make your move."

With that, Hillon whistled. Allen's Prison Fang sprinted out of the camp, and Hillon jumped on it, riding it straight towards Bali from the other direction.

Hubble's chest rose and fell as he shouted, "What's going on? I'm not going to fight anymore!"

"He's doing it for our sake. Just endure it." Laura sighed. Of course she could see how terrifying Bali was. The Grand Superintendent's strength was already comparable to that of Federation Marshal. Although Laura and Hubble's combat strength were not ordinary, they were still a long way from Marshal's combat strength. Otherwise, Hillon would not need to use his soldiers or even himself to fill this gap. The Sovereign could tell at first glance that no one in his camp was Bali's opponent. Even with the idea of a war of attrition, for a dominant expert, the impact of the Fire Horned Demon and the Blazing Knights alone would not be enough to shake the other party's foundations. Therefore, Hillon decided to make a move, hoping to consume Bali's Origin Energy in a short period of time, so as to create a tiny chance for Laura and him.

Even if he couldn't kill Bali, he could at least buy more time. The moment he decided to fight, Hillon conveyed his thoughts to Mitinus in the Realm of the Forgotten through the mysterious connection between the Monarchs.

The Abyss Flame could not see any change in its expression, but the flames in its body condensed before it started to burn again.

The battlefield on the edge of the desert was filled with killing intent, as was the heavy artifact room of the Mork Pill Army's Treasury. Allen and the experts from Bali's side clashed, and each of them fought in a corner of the hall. Alan was also assigned a general. The general brought by Bali was covered in heavy armor, and each of his hands held a thick shield. At the same time, there were four Origin Energy shields floating around him, constantly spinning around him. This person was like a moving fortress. He stood between Ellen and Ijeruka, and his meaning was obvious.

Alan immediately took out the Shatter hymn and used all of his strength to slash towards the general of the empire. The blade of the giant saber spat out a chunk of grey flame saber Qi and slashed onto the opponent's Origin Energy shield. The Origin Energy Shield shattered and the Imperial General flew back. One shield shattered and the other repaired. The speed at which the shield floated was astonishing. Allen slashed down with a single saber, and even broke through his opponent's seven or eight hundred Origin Energy shields, but he was unable to cut through him with a single saber. Apart from replenishing the General's shield at an extremely fast speed, it was also because he knew the opportunity to retreat. Otherwise, if he didn't dodge the attack, even if he couldn't die, he wouldn't be able to keep his armor.
