Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1414: Pursue

It was already late at night.

The earth was shrouded in the darkness, and there was not the slightest bit of light. The nocturnal creatures began to roam about. The night was the busiest time of the day for them. They were busy hunting, so the most shadowy places on the ground would emit moving fluorescence. In this area, the Twin-tailed Blue Scorpion was undoubtedly the overlord of the nocturnal creatures. When they came out, the other creatures would scramble to escape.

However, the atmosphere tonight was a little abnormal.

A few palm-sized two-tailed blue scorpions climbed onto a huge rock and raised their poisonous tails in the same direction. Then, they dispersed, far away from that direction.

There is a pile of rocks there.

Behind the pile of rocks, there were plenty of figures.

If Mo Kedan's men were here, they would recognize that the army hiding behind the rubble was an imperial army, also known as the elite trump card, the Berserk Shadow Army. There were still more than two thousand Berserk Shadow Army members hiding in the shadows of rocks. The iron blood killing intent on these people was the key to repelling the Blue Scorpion. Even if they were to march for tens of kilometers during the day, it was nothing to the soldiers of the Berserk Shadow Army. The amount of physical energy they consumed was very limited. What truly worried people was their morale. In the history of the Berserk Shadow Army, they had never left in such a sorry state. It could be said that in the days when Bali presided over this army, the Berserk Shadow Army never knew what defeat meant. But now that Bali had died in battle, it was as if this army had been drained of its backbone. It was no longer able to support its morale by relying on just one or two imperial generals.

The ape-faced general knew this as well. He felt helpless when he saw the demoralized army. However, he did not regret the decision he had made during the day. After losing Bali, the Berserk Shadow Army's combat strength had plummeted. Even if everyone fought desperately during the day, it would at most delay the destruction of the city. The Berserk Shadow Soldiers were right, but there were a terrifying number of experts on the enemy side.

Apart from the two people who had transformed into ice storms and dismantled the armor of the city walls to form metal cannonballs, there were more than a dozen experts above Level 30. If these people joined forces to attack, the Berserk Shadow Army would probably not be able to last for even fifteen minutes. Compared to the ordinary army, the Berserk Shadow Army was naturally powerful, but in the eyes of the Dominant Rank experts, a Level 10 or even Level 20 soldier was no different from a Level 7 or 8 soldier. They were like beetles and ants. Although the former was bigger, whether it was beetles or ants, stepping on them would be the end of their lives.

There weren't many soldiers in the Berserk Shadow Army. If all three thousand of them were to be lost in Mokedan, it would be a big blow to the army. The Ape-Faced General decided to retreat in order to preserve the vitality of this legion. However, looking at the low morale of these soldiers, the general couldn't help but ask himself, would such an army still be able to fight?

He shook his head forcefully and decided not to think about these unsolvable questions.

Suddenly, the ape-faced general looked up at the sky. The night sky was filled with lead clouds, and the clouds moved at an extremely slow speed. From his eyes, nothing could be seen. However, in the ape-faced general's perception, he could sense a trace of energy. Then, in the next moment, a beam of light suddenly shot down from the empty night sky.

That was the cannon fire of the high-energy cannon!

This streak of light struck the corner of the camp, blowing up fireballs, sending hundreds of Berserk Shadow Army soldiers flying in that direction, immediately killing a dozen people and seriously injuring dozens of others. Only then did the ape-faced general react and roar, "Be careful of the air attack!"

Rays of light appeared in the night sky. Dozens of warships disengaged from stealth mode. The cannon platform and energy cannon on the warship continued to fire, sending streaks of light towards the ground and bombarding this rocky area. For a moment, flames overflowed everywhere, and the Berserk Shadow Army soldiers did not slow down. Everyone searched for a mask to retaliate. However, facing the firepower carried by the flying ship, the rocks on the ground had no defensive capabilities at all. Often, a single cannon strike would erase a dozen meters long and wide giant rock, leaving behind a large scorched black mark after the explosion.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the cabin door of the warship opened, and soldiers began to descend from the sky, fighting with the Berserk Shadow Army. What made the ape face go crazy was that these soldiers were obviously wearing Shadow Army equipment, needless to say, they were definitely Mockdale's surrender army.

Actually, he was only half right.

Tonight, only half of the troops chasing after the Berserk Shadow Army were Mokedan's surrender troops, while the other half were Tong Wu's Blood Peak warriors. The reason why he had used Mokdan's surrender was because Alan had thought about consolidating the prisoners. After tonight's battle, the surrendered troops that Allen had mixed together, regardless of whether they were willing or not, did not have any room for them in the empire. They could only fight for Allen in the future. After all, the empire had never shown mercy to the rebels.

There was still a chance of surviving for Allen, but if he returned to the empire, he would only be sent to prison. How to choose was already extremely simple.

The ape-faced general knew this as well, but he couldn't order his soldiers not to resist. Thus, once Mockdan was broken, Alan would have twenty thousand more soldiers in vain. Moreover, the ape-faced general didn't have time to pay attention. Two powerful auras appeared above his head at the same time. Two black dots quickly settled down, causing a pillar of dust to shake on the ground. In the flames, the ape-faced man could clearly see that one of them was Tong Wu, who had destroyed the platform in the daytime, while the other was a Gatu. This surprised the ape face. He could feel that the aura of the Gatu people was obviously lower than that of Tong Wu, but they were definitely not inferior to him.

The Gatu man alone made the ape face difficult to deal with, not to mention the Tong Wu.

At this time, Hubble locked onto the ape face and shouted to the tin can beside him, "He's mine!"

Tong Wu did not answer. Instead, he turned around to face a group of high-ranking officers from the Berserk Shadow Army. His meaning was obvious. Hubble was in a good mood. During the siege battle during the day, he could barely make it to the gates, and the battle was nearing its end. Hubble could only smash a few hammers and retreat, which made him suffocate. Now, he could finally vent his anger. The Gatu roared as they brandished the Star of Darkness like a war chariot towards the ape's face.

Hubble didn't even bother to swing his hammer when he encountered the short-sighted Berserk Shadow Army warriors on the way. The collision with his powerful Origin Energy was even more terrifying than running over a real war chariot. Those soldiers who were knocked away had already vomited blood and died before landing on the ground. The ape-faced general knew that this battle was inevitable, so he finally threw away all of his worries and threw himself at him with a low roar. In the blink of an eye, the two of them met. The ape-faced man's elbow landed on the side of Hubble's face, while the Dark Star landed on his chest, creating a pitch-black ripple!

When the sun rose the next day, a fleet of airships landed at the harbor. Alan had already been waiting there for a long time. At the same time, there were also dozens of important figures who had been lucky enough to be invited to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday to "welcome" the fleet. When the airship opened, a thick smell of blood came out from the cabin door. As the warriors who were bathed in blood walked out of the airship, the corners of the eyes of the big shots began to tremble. When they saw these warriors throw their backpacks onto the ground, and some of their heads rolled out of their backpacks, some of their legs were already weak, and they almost fell to the ground.

No matter what they looked like, there was a werewolf symbol on their foreheads. That was the symbol of the Berserk Shadow Army. Seeing these heads, no matter how slow the people on the scene were, they knew that this fleet was chasing after the Berserk Shadow Army that had escaped from Mokedan yesterday. There were so many heads on the ground, it seemed like they had completely captured the Berserk Shadow Army.

That was a total of nearly three thousand Berserk Shadow Army soldiers!

An elite trump card of the empire

Thinking of this, someone began to unconsciously groan. At this moment, Hubble strode forward and threw the ape-faced general's head to the ground. The blood-soaked Gatu man suddenly roared, then squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Happy!"

However, after hearing these two words, the dozens of big shots didn't feel happy at all. Of course, they knew that it was one of the Berserk Shadow Army generals. They wanted to know how powerful Bali was when he brought three generals, an adjutant, and three thousand Berserk Shadow Army soldiers to Mokedan that day. To the people of Mokedan, even if it was these people on the scene, Bali and the Imperial General were definitely important figures in the empire.

But now, these so-called great figures were all dead.

None left.

As a result, when they looked at Alan, their gazes had obviously changed greatly from yesterday. After that, Alan politely sent them back to the city. Before noon, the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion was almost flattened. These big businessmen and union leaders all threw olive branches at Allen and swore that they would cooperate with Allen seamlessly. If that scene in the morning hadn't allowed them to make up their minds, then these people wouldn't have been able to climb to their current positions. Moreover, Allen's offer was so favorable that they couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Once these people expressed their support for Allen, it would be equivalent to putting Moxidan into Allen's pocket. This was the ideal outcome Allen wanted. Otherwise, relying solely on force to suppress it would probably greatly damage the city's vitality, and it would not be beneficial to Allen's career. Mokedan was an ideal logistics base. With it, Allen would have the foundation to march towards Demoic Ring City. So from the beginning, Allen had wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible, but now he had finally managed to do so.

Over the next few days, people arrived at the other end of the wasteland one after another. Important figures like Grace and Zasso were naturally brought directly into the City Lord's Mansion. When he stood in the City Lord's Mansion, Zasuo had a feeling of suspicion in his dreams. He never thought that one day he would be able to stand in the City Lord's Mansion of Mokedan. At this moment, he was truly convinced of Alan.

So when Alan walked in, Zasso knelt down halfway to Alan and said solemnly, "Lord Alan, Zasso is here at your command."

Kaijasi and Relic were both shocked when they saw this. Knowing that Zasso was loyal, they half knelt on the ground and offered their loyalty. Of course, how long this loyalty lasted depended on whether Alan could continue to grow stronger.
