Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1408: Will Make Do With

Alan put the so-called secret map back into his wrist wheel and said, "Looks like only half of the map is there. I don't know where the other half is. However, it's definitely not simple to give Bali space equipment. I'll study it when I have a chance."

"That's the only way. I'm afraid I'll have to find the other half of the secret map to know what it is." Luche blinked his eyes and said, "But since I know its name, maybe I can help you find out. However, I can't give you a deadline for this mission "

"It doesn't matter. There's no deadline. If you can get information about the secret map, you'll get a copy of it. However, I have to say in advance that if you don't get anything, you'll make a loss."

'"There's no such thing as a profitable deal under the heavens. I'll take it. If your Excellency agrees, I want to share it with my peers so that I can gather information faster. As for the remuneration, I'll arrange it freely at that time. There's no need for your Excellency to worry about it," Luche said with a smile.

Alan nodded, so the matter was settled. Luche stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave. These injuries will take about a night to recover. By the way, before I leave, I saw some union leaders in Mockdanley called to the military building. I'm afraid Rupert will ask these unions to help the empire during the war."

"This way, the number of opponents will increase significantly."

"Yes, but they are not soldiers after all. They shouldn't risk their lives. I just want to suggest that you don't have to kill them all when the time comes. After entering the city, these people still need to be recruited."

Allen said, "Yes." "I'll take care of it."

After Luche left, Alan practiced storing and removing items in the spatial wrist wheel. By the time Laura came in, he was already able to freely access Red King in an instant. Seeing Laura come in, Alan blinked and said, "Watch me conjure a magic trick for you." He shook Red King. With a slight shake of his hand, the sword disappeared. Alan spread out his palm and smiled, "It's gone."

Laura sat down at the table, her hands resting on her chin. She tilted her head slightly to look at Alan and said, "You've got something good. How are you feeling, Lord Alan?"

Ellen sat down on the table and gently stroked Laura's cheek. "No matter how good the thing is, you are my real treasures."

Laura pretended not to understand and asked in the blink of an eye, "Who are we talking about?"

Alan gently pinched her face and smiled, not answering her question. Laura added, "I heard you're going to let Yami and Baker dig a secret tunnel into Mokdan so they can destroy the Jewel Wall system?"

"Mm, is there a problem?"

"There's no problem. I'm just curious. Is there anything you can't cut right now? That gemstone wall sounds pretty powerful, but you should be able to cut it, right?"

Allen shrugged, "It's not a problem to have the Anthem of Shatter. It's just that there's more than one stronghold empire like Mokdan. The situation in Mokdan can be captured as long as we fight steadily, so I want to keep my hand on it. If we encounter such a city again in the future, we'll be able to surprise them."

"That's why."

'What do you think? And I'll do everything. I've done all the dirty work. What do you want Alice's army for?' Alan tapped the table with his finger and said, "They are Alice's men. Of course, they have to do their part for their master. Isn't that reasonable?"

"Yes, yes, of course what Lord Alan said is correct."

Ellen jumped down and pulled Laura up. "The chat is over. It's time to rest, Miss Laura."

"Is it really just a rest?" Laura blinked her eyes and smiled badly

Alan said seriously, "It's really just a rest."

He was speechless all night.

The next day, when a ray of sunlight fell from the horizon, the gate of the camp was open, and the army of the Forgotten Realm was moving out in an orderly manner. Alice's army was quite large, but it was actually made up of generals and their own private armies. There are many people, but the quality is uneven. In Alan's view, only the armies of Tong Wu, Yami, and Xue Feng could be seen. The quality of the soldiers of the other generals was inferior to that of the Shadow Army of the Empire. When they came together, they would have a strong momentum.

If the army were to be run by Allen, he would retain only the three-man army of Tong Wu, while the rest of the private army would disrupt the mix and train in unison. This would be several times more useful in future battles than it is now, but this was Alice's army. Those generals obeyed his orders, but they were not truly loyal to him, so Alan did not intend to change the original appearance of this army.

He knew very well that the army of the Forgotten Realm was just a stepping stone. After knocking on the door of the empire, if he wanted to fight all the way to Demoic Ring City, he would have to set up an army of his own.

An army that was truly used.

Fortunately, Agares lacked resources, but there were quite a few people. Moreover, the Barbarians were both bellicose and capable of living. As long as they knew that they could contend against the empire, Allen wouldn't have to worry about having no soldiers. Moreover, he still had a Burning Legion. That was the real trump card.

As for now

Allen stood at the foot of a low hill beside the camp, looking down at the endless stream of troops coming out of the camp. He looked at the speed of the various private troops, and even made the army look bloated and incompetent. He frowned and whispered in a voice he could hear, "I can only use it first."

Soon after, flying ships streaked under his head, and the howling of the sky completely obscured his afternoons.

Alarms rang out in Mokedan City.

The Imperial Army, which had monitored the movements of the enemy camp early in the morning, was operating at full capacity. The Shadow Army left the barracks and, under the orders of their respective officers, entered the various battle positions in the city to stand by. The Berserk Shadow Army took it directly to the ape-faced general and arrived at the defensive line outside the city. It seemed that they would assume the responsibility of the main defensive force. The armaments on the various platforms began to circulate. The soft sound of energy transmission rang non-stop on all the platforms. One airship after another flew up from the docking port, completing the formation in mid-air and waiting for orders.

Rupert still wore a black robe and gray armor. He arrived at the command center of the military headquarters with his swords and knives all over his body. As soon as he entered, he could feel the tense atmosphere before the battle. Even Rupert was no exception to this tense feeling. Speaking of which, Rupert was not a newbie who had just entered the battlefield. Before coming to Mokedan, he had followed his elder brother, Mirion, in charge of some local wars on the Eastern Front Battlefield. He should not have felt this nervous after being tempered by the flames of war.

But now, the enemy general was an expert in killing Bali. Bali's combat strength was definitely ranked third amongst the generals of the empire. Even such a person would be discounted by someone else's saber, so Rupert's nervousness would become a matter of course. However, nervousness was the same as nervousness. Rupert did not lose his balance before the war. The orders were issued one after another, and the entire Mokedan began to enter a state of battle.

Located in the center of the city, there is a plaza on a man-made lake. The plaza and the lake bank are connected by four bridges, and people can go to the plaza through the bridge. Normally, this plaza is both a landmark building in Mockadan and a good place for people to rest. However, today's alert had always been that all residents of Mokedan had to stay at home, so the central plaza was empty and quiet.

At this time, the center of the artificial lake began to descend. After several high-power pumping devices at the bottom of the lake quickly pumped the water clean, the four bridges were divided into the middle, then retreated left and right, and retracted into the plaza and the lake bank. At the center of the plaza, a huge rhombus began to rise. This rhombus began to emit dark red lines from the inside out, and its energy aura was constantly dissipating. After it rose into the air, it stopped.

At the same time, similar rhombus-shaped bodies rose into the air around Mokedan, but they weren't as large as the crystal on the plaza. A moment later, thousands of rhombus-shaped bodies covered the entire city. At this moment, a pillar of light suddenly rose from the central square. This dazzling streak of light directly collided with the giant crystal. All the lines of light in the crystal shone brightly, and then countless rays of light shot out from the crystal. Each ray of light was connected to a rhombus.

In an instant, all of the diamonds were connected by light, and the crystals lit up one by one. From afar, it was as if countless gemstones had risen from the sky above Mockedan. A moment later, a bright light poured down from the center of the city like a curtain of water. The curtain of light rolled until the city roots around the stronghold stopped. A layer of light curtain descended, followed by another layer. Only after several times did no new light curtain appear.

Alan was standing on a land-based war chariot, watching this scene from the bottom of his eyes. Mo Ke Dan, who was currently wrapped in several layers of light curtains, could not see it clearly with his eyesight. That was Mo Ke Dan's Jewel Wall Defense System. The energy aura of this compound barrier was vast, and its defensive power was indeed astonishing.

Rupert heaved a sigh of relief after raising the barrier. He suddenly realized that this action was a bit weak. Fortunately, everyone in the command center was nervous now, and no one noticed the strange expression on his face as a general. Rupert called the remaining Berserk Shadow Army general and asked, "General Jeffrey, are the union experts ready?"

Currently, there were only Rupert and the two Berserk Shadow Army generals left in the Mockery Empire, and there was a serious shortage of experts. So after sweeping away the black cats and the pitch-black ball that day, Rupert met with the leaders of several killer and mercenary unions in the city and reached an agreement. Jeffrey, who was in charge of arranging for these union experts, nodded when Rupert asked, "I've arranged for them to be scattered across the defensive lines and they'll fight if necessary. But General Rupert, these union experts can't be expected to fight for us. If things don't work out, they'll definitely be the first ones to run away."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the gemstone wall doesn't fall, Mo Ke Dan won't lose." Rupert was confident in this defensive system. After all, he had personally witnessed one of Dobia's super experts attack with all his might, and he had never broken through the barrier of the gemstone wall.
