Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1419: Black Sheep

Earth.

Spring is the season when everything grows. The sun shines from behind thin clouds, but it is not dazzling, warm and warm. The golden light was like brocade, shrouding the undulating mountains below, injecting vitality and vitality into the earth. After tens of thousands of years of sedimentation and a series of geological changes, this place finally became a rolling mountain, covered with a new layer of green because of the arrival of spring. From afar, it was as if they were covered in emerald green carpets.

The green carpet was decorated with goose yellow, light purple, pink, cherry and other colors of flowers and plants. Insects and birds chirped among the flowers and plants, full of vitality.

A one-horned immortal flew up to the serrated leaves of the ferns. Beside it, a group of ants passed by. Suddenly, a mantis appeared in front of it. The mantis was not interested in the One Horned Immortal. Its target was two light green fat insects in the distance. Just as it was about to pounce on the two fat insects, the sky suddenly darkened and a huge shadow fell. The mantis raised its head, and a colossus shone in its tiny eyes.

It was a starship. Its fish-like hull was rising and falling. On both sides of its wings, there were fin-like wings. Each probe flashed with a burst of fluorescence, and it elegantly slid through the sky. A cannon barrel was spat out from the front of the ship, and light began to glow in the muzzle of the cannon. The buzzing sound of energy being transported resounded in the sky, and then a ball of light spat out from the muzzle of the cannon. The ball of light descended into a distant mountain peak as if nothing had happened. The moment it collided, the light quickly lit up and the energy storm released from it multiplied exponentially. Intense light flooded the mountains like a tide, and then terrifying shockwaves arrived.

Rocks, trees, flowers and even insects were lifted by the shockwaves and thrown towards the outer ring of the explosion.

The mantis that was supposed to catch the green insect was thrown into the air and exploded in midair with the shockwave. As for the one-horned immortal, it unexpectedly survived and fell to the ground along with the falling rocks. A moment later, the Unicorn Immortal climbed out of the rubble. When it looked ahead, the originally continuous mountain range had already disappeared. The mountain area was like a huge and ugly pit dug out by an invisible shovel. A mushroom cloud was rising from the pit, and after releasing its energy and flames, it turned into a thick black pillar of clouds.

Within the huge crater, which was measured in square kilometers, the fish-like starship in the sky was sliding over, and then it slowly landed in the center of the crater, which was no different from a flat ground. After landing, the components that fixed the hull came out from the stern and the stern of the starship. They tightly grabbed onto the ground and fixed the starship. After landing completely, the fin wings on both sides of the starship retracted back into the ship's body. The other armor on the ship began to open and spread out around the starship. When the outer armor on the top of the starship was fully opened, one could see that the interior of the starship was also undergoing synchronous deformation.

A moment later, a ground base appeared in the mountains. At this time, many gates of the base rose, and many warships, harvesters, transport vehicles, and squads of fully armed Nelm soldiers drilled out from within. The warships and soldiers began to set up air and ground defense lines around the crater. The harvester trucks followed the established coordinates. They would dig and harvest the rich ore deposits in this mountain area, and then transport them to the base by transport trucks to become the energy source for the operation of the base.

Very quickly, a busy scene appeared in the pit. Apart from passing vehicles and soldiers, another batch of engineering trucks left the base and began to build turrets, bunker fortifications, energy storage wells, factories, and other things around the pit. At this time, Nelm soldiers began to leave the base. After their formation was dispersed, they began to hunt for life in the surroundings. These images were all seen by the One Horned Immortal. It quietly lay on a rock. Several groups of soldiers had already passed by it, but who would care about an insect that didn't pose a threat?

In the tactical hall of a federal ground base, the scene that the One Horned Immortal saw was reflected on a screen. In the picture, the Nelm man's ground base had already taken shape. In front of the screen, a colonel stood with his hands behind his back and said straightforwardly, "This is the scene that our biological robot transmitted back five minutes ago. It's not hard to see from the scene that the people of Nelm have already begun to build a base for advancement." According to our war manual on Colonial Planet, the invasion of Nelm has undoubtedly reached the second stage. "Build a base for advancement, gather planet resources, and then use them against the planet's natives. That's us."

"Colonel Roman, according to your observations, how long will it take for the enemy base to be built?" Morbit's voice sounded in the tactical hall. The federal president looked much thinner, but his gaze was still as sharp as an eagle's.

The colonel nodded, "Judging from their progress, at most, within 48 hours, a self-preserving, long-term forward base can basically take shape." Gentlemen, I think these buildings should be factory facilities, whether they are weapons factories or ordnance factories. Once they are complete and operational, it means that the people of Nelm will be resupplied, which is not good news for us. "

"A base that can last for a long time and replenish the frontlines is a huge threat to us." "Gentlemen, we must act. Now that Adahua Planet's fleet is trying to help us deal with the threat from outer space, the crisis on the ground needs to be resolved by ourselves. We must act within 48 hours. This time, let's hope that the Golden Lion will continue to support us," Mobius said in a deep voice to the people behind us.

At the end of his voice, Mobbit landed on a person.

Capulo.

Wild Lion was silent. Capulo bit his cigar. The flickering light at the end of the cigarette was as unstable as everyone's mood was at the moment. A moment later, Capullo said in a hoarse voice, "My men suffered heavy losses from the fall of the Star Destroyer that attacked the people of Nelm. I can only give you a thousand this time."

In the Tactical Hall, there was an uproar. Everyone knew that a thousand people were simply perfunctory in an operation like this. Moreover, according to Capulo's tone, he would not use his general-level combat strength. He would probably only send three or two colonels to deal with it. Someone patted the table and said, "Was it only you golden lions who suffered losses in the last operation? Are there still few people who died on Sirius?"

Windsor Belo was definitely one of the few people in the Federation who dared to contradict Capulo like this. The woman Marshal bombed Nelm's space base in the last operation, and Windsor Belo was in the limelight after the war. Coupled with Capullo's withdrawal from the Federation, Marshal Greed's popularity among the Federation army was temporarily incomparable. '"Marshal Greed, do you want me to remind you? The Golden Lion is no longer part of the federal army. I asked myself what my allies had done last time. As for how many troops we need to invest in the next operation, I have my own calculations. But in the end, it's not up to your federation to decide how much the Golden Lion should do." Capulo said calmly.

Windsor Belo raised her eyebrows to say something. Mobie raised her hand and shook her head before she sat down. "Mr. Capullo is right," Mobit said in a low voice. "But now that the enemy is facing us, we should work together more sincerely."

Capullo met the president's gaze and smiled, "Alright, then I'll throw another two thousand people and a general in. That's my bottom line. I'm sorry, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. My men will arrive on time in two hours. Don't worry about that."

Then he got up and left.

After the doors of the tactical hall were closed, Windsor Belo said coldly, "He cares so much about his wings and refuses to put down his life force. He must have a plan. Perhaps after expelling the Nelm, his allies will become enemies."

"That was after the expulsion of Nelm," Mobit sighed softly. "As for now, even if Capullo is unwilling to fight to the death in front of the common interest, he will not hold us back. However, this number is not enough. We are fighting on several fronts at the same time, so it is difficult to tell who is who."

"Then let's make up the rest." Horn, who had not spoken, stood up and smiled, "Our family can provide two thousand soldiers. If necessary, I can come personally."

After the battle on the Star Destroyer of the Nelm people, Horn's evaluation in the Federation was extremely high. Even Beskard's reputation had risen, and he had the potential to catch up with the three wealthy families. With the participation of Beskard, especially Horn himself, this operation would be certain. "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Horn," Mobie said cheerfully.

"No trouble, I also want to walk around outside. Staying here for too long is a bit slow."

Mobie nodded again and walked to the light screen in the tactical hall. He glanced at the base in the light screen and solemnly said, "Then the code name of this operation should be Black Sheep!"

After the meeting, Horn returned to the camp assigned to Beskard by the Federation. Roddy had just finished his fitness training with the soldiers. He heard that Horn had changed his clothes to meet him when he came back. He saw Horn in the room and said, "Father, when are you going to take the position of Patriarch back?"

Horn glared at him and said, "What do you think the Patriarch is? You can give it to him if you say so, but you can give it back if you say so?"

"But I really don't feel comfortable sitting here. I'd rather you sit back in this position. I prefer to fight on the battlefield." Roddy laughed dryly.

Horn shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, my time is over." You are also a member of the Beskard, so you should shoulder your responsibilities. You're you, I'm me, you don't have to learn my tricks. "You just have to do it with your heart. It's like you and the soldiers training together. This is something I've never done before. This is good. It can make the soldiers more loyal to you and your family."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Speaking of soldiers, I just promised Mobius to take out our family's army for an operation."

"What action?"
