Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1410: Real Battlefield

Alan sat on the war chariot like this, his gaze landing in the direction of Mockedan, where the flames of war were already burning heaven and earth. Even though they were at the edge of the battlefield, they could still feel the tremors and rumbles coming from the ground. The battle had already begun for a while, but at this moment, there were no experts in Mok Dan who took the initiative to fight. They only relied on the defensive advantage and firepower of the stronghold to fight. Alan had already instructed them to harass the guerrillas, so the generals led their troops to disperse, harassing the defensive lines in front of Mokedan City. Only Tong Wu and Xue Feng's troops charged at the main entrance, firmly attracting the attention of the stronghold.

Naturally, they would share more of the pressure. However, with their battle prowess, it wouldn't be a problem for them to support the defenses of their own armies. Especially Tong Wu, his Origin Energy Xiong Ning was vast and had an easy-going appearance. I'm afraid that if the enemy general doesn't know whether to die or not, he will kill him on the spot. Tong Wu's strength was already comparable to that of an empire general. Even if he hadn't reached the level of the Berserker Bali, he wouldn't be far away.

With such a super expert holding back the firepower, the pressure on the other generals was much lesser. Thus, the situation between the two sides was temporarily stuck, and this was exactly what Alan wanted.

"How long do we have to wait here?" Hubble carried the Dark Star Warhammer to the side of the car, his face full of dissatisfaction. Ever since the battle with Bali, this Gatu man had clearly seen the distance between him and those imperial generals. Now, he was extremely eager to fight. In his eyes, there were people that needed to be pursued. With his current combat strength, it was between an Empire general and a Great General. But as long as he hadn't touched the Void Origin Energy, there would be an insurmountable ravine between Hubble and the Great General. If even the Great General of the Empire was unable to win the battle, it would not be easy to avenge the King of Gatu.

Alan could understand Hubble's feelings and could only say, "Our real battlefield is not here, so you can hold on for now." Do you want sharpening stones? Will there be fewer sharpening stones from here all the way to Demoic Ring City? Moreover, the matter of the Void Origin Energy was not something that could be sensed and grasped through constant battles. That would require some kind of opportunity. Before this opportunity arises, you just need to polish yourself carefully. "

Hubble snorted, but knew that Alan was right, so he didn't retort. However, the battle ahead was as fiery as tea, and the people of Gatu were also warlike races. Hubble's hands were itching as he held the warhammer in his hand and let out a sizzling sound. Allen did not change his mind, nor did any of his followers participate in today's battle. Not to mention Hubble, even Laura and the others were left behind for him. Alan waved his hand at the crowd and the youth walked out. He wore the same cloak as Allen, revealing his short hair. From a distance, he looked almost the same as Allen.

Alan jumped out of the car and said to Bai, "Next, you can sit in this car. Remember not to fight. You just need to sit here."

"How long do you want to sit?" Bai climbed onto the chariot.

Alan took off his cloak and grinned, "See that barrier? When it disappears, you can move freely."

Then he added to Hubble and the others, "You too."

Bai shrugged his shoulders and took Alan's place in the car. Hubble sat down on the ground, the Star of Darkness resting on his thigh. His hands were crossed around his chest, and his two big copper bell eyes stared fixedly at Mockdale, as if they were going to stare at the gemstone wall with their eyes. Alan smiled helplessly, looked at Laura, and pointed at Hubble, telling her to keep an eye on the people of Gatu. He flew backwards, heading to another place.

As Ellen had said, the main battlefield in front of Mokedan City was not the main one. The real battlefield was in another place. It was a wasteland about ten kilometers southeast of the battlefield under the city. Stones were piled up here, and it was a natural shelter. Unless Mo Kedan dispatched a flying ship to scout, he wouldn't have noticed a large number of arachnids in this area. A large pit had been dug into the ground behind a pile of rocks. There was an oblique downward passage in the pit, and Spider Empress Yami, Sharp Claw Baker, and the president of the pitch-black ball, Luche, were at the entrance of the pit.

Ground escape spiders are moving in and out of the tunnels. Ground escape spiders can dig tunnels. These spiders will gradually dig tunnels in a clockwise direction. Where they pass, they will leave behind a special type of body fluids to solidify the tunnel mud and strengthen the tunnels to prevent collapse. One Escape Spider could work continuously for more than an hour. Thousands of Escape Spiders took turns to work. According to the plan, they would be able to dig a tunnel from here at noon tomorrow for the army to sneak in and reach the entrance of Mokedan City.

The plan to sneak into Mokdan and destroy the Jewel Wall System was divided into several phases. The first phase was taken care of by Yami's group of arachnids, and so far, it was progressing fairly smoothly.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Luche whistled to the deep tunnel that was slanted downwards. Then, he opened the pocket brain on his wrist, and a few beams of light bounced up, quickly creating a model of the fortress in the air. Luche occasionally used his fingers to adjust the model. After a while, he pointed to the area in the model that was connected to the tunnel and said, "The tunnel you dug will reach this place. After cutting through the armor wall, you will be able to enter the underground sewer of Moktan." I have already planned a route for you to reach the Gem Wall System Control Center from the underground sewer. All you have to do is destroy the control system, but I think Rupert will probably send a lot of troops to guard it. The remaining problem is that if the alarm occurs, the control center will activate the emergency system, all access to the control center will be cut off, and the control center will fall down the armor wall to defend. These armoured walls will not rise again unless the alarm is lifted. "

Yami looked at the route carefully and said, "Apart from that, isn't there a direct route to the control center?"

"Yes, but no one will be able to enter." Luche took a different route, also starting from the underground sewer, but went to the control center through Mockdale's cable line. Luche explained, "This route also allows access to the control center and can cross the gate guards, but as you can see, it's obviously only allowed for smaller creatures to pass through."

Yami smiled. "No problem. I happen to have some small children. But don't look at them. They don't have a good temper."

Luche nodded, "That's easy."

Suddenly, they felt something and looked in the same direction. Ellen jumped off a strange rock and grinned, "Let me see what I can do for you."

Luche smiled and said, "It's still too early to be a coolie."

Alan also knew that this was the case. After greeting the few of them, he found a secluded place to absorb Origin Energy and convert it into a secret flame. At the same time, the temperature difference between them was endless to destroy the killing weapon. Time passed bit by bit, and today's siege ended at sunset. Within the command center of Mokedan's military headquarters, a large screen was showing the orderly withdrawal of the army of the Forgotten Realm. After today's battle, apart from consuming a lot of ammunition and energy, the Mok Dan side didn't lose much. Of course, the same was true of the legacy realm. Today, both the offensive and defensive sides displayed momentum, but they did not achieve any tangible results.

Seeing the enemy retreat, Jeffrey suggested, "General Rupert, should we pursue?"

Jeffrey's suggestion was indeed worth considering at ordinary times. After all, Mockedan's vitality was still there. In particular, they had a clear advantage in the air. If they were assisted by a fleet of airships, coupled with their combat power on the ground, they would be able to bite their opponents' tails and fight a beautiful local battle. But Rupert shook his head resolutely, pointing at a point in the picture. The scene changed and a warrior and the silver-haired figure on the chariot appeared.

"He hasn't attacked again in the entire battle. I'm afraid he has recovered his Origin Energy by now. If we attack recklessly, who can stop him?"

Jeffrey nodded, knowing that the proposal could only be abandoned.

Rupert rubbed his hands and said, "Actually, we don't need to take risks. We just need to delay for a few more days and we'll win."

"Hopefully" Jeffrey whispered.

Perhaps too nervous, Rupert did not pay attention to his words.

Night fell, and in the dense night, fireballs exploded from time to time in Mo Kedan's direction. The army of the Forgotten Realm did not seem to have any intention of letting the Imperial Army stay idle. They would send troops to attack from time to time. Of course, these attacks were like mosquito bites. Apart from startling the Imperial Army, they did not pose any real threat. However, because of this, the Gem Wall System continued to operate. Rupert did not dare to lower the barrier so easily, fearing that Alan would have a chance to take advantage of it.

Alan had already told the generals that if there was no gemstone wall, he would be able to break through the city by himself. Rupert didn't dare to let down his guard with such a ferocious person outside. He would rather waste his energy than make a sliver of negligence.

The next morning, the army of the Forgotten Realm returned to the battlefield, and both sides fought vigorously at the gates of the city.

By noon, the tunnels dug by the Escape Spider had already reached the armored wall beneath Mokedan. At this point, Yami's spiders were temporarily done, and Baker and his men were going to perform the piercing operation. When the armored wall was only half full, Allen directly carried the Anthem of Shatter into the arena, cutting through the rest in three or two slashes. After cleaning up the mess at the entrance, Alan had already stood in the underground sewer of Mockdale.

"I'll leave the gem wall to you." Alan said to Yami and looked at Luche, "Are you interested in accompanying me to the headquarters?"

"I'd be happy to." Luche held the saber at his waist and replied happily.

Seeing the two of them leave the other side of the sewer, Yami whistled outside the entrance. A moment later, a spider covered in dark red bristles crawled into the sewer. It was only the size of a palm and looked very ordinary, but these spiders could self-destruct. Yami pointed to the sewer and a large number of self-detonating spiders rushed in from the tunnel. They quickly disappeared into the sewer.
