Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1420: The Great Enemy of Mankind

"Operation Black Sheep?" Roddy was shocked. "Has Nelm's invasion reached the second stage? We can't afford to take it lightly. It makes sense for us to participate. But Father, let me go instead of you!"

Horn shook his head and smiled, "Are you worried about me, brat? Don't worry, my injuries have basically healed. Even if I meet the Emperor of Nelm again, I'm not afraid. Instead, it's you. You're already the Patriarch. A good Patriarch should be in charge of the rear and be a qualified steward. Do you think I've been on the frontlines so easily since I took the Patriarch position?"

Roddy frowned. Back then, Horn had indeed entered Nether Domain Star before he succeeded as Patriarch. As for entering the Iron Prison and the Star Destroyer Battle not long ago, it was after leaving the position of Patriarch. For a moment, Roddy couldn't find anything to refute. Horn smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "There will be plenty of opportunities for you to enter the battlefield in the future. However, there will be no saber light or sword shadows on your battlefield. However, in terms of the degree of danger, it will not be any less dangerous than the real battlefield."

"Father "

"Although the situation is difficult, I am optimistic about the expulsion of the people of Nelm. What worries me is what will happen next. It can be said that the invasion of Nelm completely broke the original federal structure. After expelling the people of Nelm, the entire Federation would surely undergo a major shuffle. The days of the federal government and the nobles will never return. Large and even super-armed groups will carve up the cake called profit. "Horn's eyes were filled with worry." Apart from the Federation and our nobles remaining, the super-armed groups that can be foreseen now will have the Gate of Freedom, Light Concealment Society and Capulo's Golden Lion. " At that time, the earth will no longer be the word of the Federation, and the planet will be filled with more voices. "

"Then, what comes from benefits is all sorts of disputes, even wars!"

"That's what I'm worried about," Horn smiled bitterly. "Foreign enemies are never the greatest enemies of humans. Our enemies are actually humans themselves "

Roddy didn't know what to say.

Horn patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, that was after the expulsion of Nelm." I can foresee, how could that man Mobbit not be able to see the hidden dangers in this? I believe that he will interfere. Perhaps he will start laying out the plan now. As for us, as long as we do what we need to do. Roddy, remember your responsibilities and never forget them. You are already very good at that. "

Roddy nodded heavily. The responsibility of the Patriarch was the continuation of the family and the maintenance of the prosperity of the family.

Late at night.

In this mountainous area, the night was far from dull. The Nelm base was operating all day long, and the fire on the ground lit up the crater and the thin clouds in the night sky. Machines rumbled as transport vehicles and engineering trucks shuttled between the bases. More than ten hours had passed, and many turrets had been erected on the outer and inner bellies of the base. Two smelters have been built, and transport vehicles carry the minerals collected to the smelter, where they will be decomposed and converted into the energy needed to operate the base.

Engineering vehicles are already building new factories, soldiers are fortifying the defensive lines, and the Nelm base is being built faster than humans had predicted.

Occasionally, the center of the base lit up with a burst of brilliant energy. No one knew what the people of Nelm were doing there. However, no matter what they were doing, it was not a good thing for humans. Kedorf, who put down his tactical binoculars, firmly believed this. He was a captain of the Black Hawk army on the ground in Beskard, and now he was ambushing a small assault squad on a low hill. All of the commandos were camouflaged. Under cover of darkness, it was difficult to distinguish them from the nearby rocks. They also wore jammers to interfere with Nelm's life-detection system and prevent detection.

One of the team members whispered, "Captain, how long do we have to wait?"

"What's the hurry?" Kedorf scolded softly, "If you have a chance to kill me later, I'm afraid that you guys will be killed by someone else."

Several of the team members chuckled softly.

"Wait quietly now. Our order is to wait until the golden lion strikes. Besides, without the support of the artillery, we will be blasted to ashes before we reach the outskirts of the base," Kedorf said.

"Why haven't those lions come yet?"

Someone whispered, "What lion? I didn't send the main force this time. Maybe it was all cats and dogs."

Kurdorf glared at the man, "Will you die if you say one less word, bastard? All of you shut up "

At the end of his sentence, a loud noise suddenly sounded above his head. Kurdorf raised his head. A huge fireball was rising. Behind the fireball, flying ships rushed down and quickly slid over the top of the assault team's hiding place, heading towards the Nelm base. In the next moment, half of the turrets in Giant Pit Base turned their guns, and the chain of fire sliced through the night sky, heading towards these flying ships that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The battle had finally begun.

As Nelm's airship flew out of the base, it tangled with the Golden Lion's warship in mid-air. The Golden Lion's ground troops also launched an attack. Armored flying vehicles quickly approached under the cover of the main battle chariots. The carriages of the armored vehicles opened and squads of soldiers rushed down. Using the war chariot as a cover, they began to charge into Nelm's defensive line on the ground. In the blink of an eye, flames flickered in the air and on the ground of the base, and explosions and cries resounded throughout the night sky.

The commandos roared, "It's our turn to play. Charge!"

Under the night sky, dozens of commandos belonging to Black Hawk charged forward. They bypassed the main battlefield and quickly broke through the enemy's defensive line. The task of these commandos was to blow up the turret of the base. Under the Golden Lion's attention, the commandos quickly sneaked into the base. The players shielded each other and advanced quickly. No one dared to stop. Countless streaks of light shuttled around them, and the exploding fireball bit their footsteps. If he stopped, he would be courting death!

Nonetheless, three of his team members were already lying on the road when Kedorf approached a turret. The captain did not have the time to mourn for his team members. He quickly took out the time explosive from his backpack and installed it on the turret's outer wall before continuing to move. A moment later, the turret burst into flames. The cannons on the turret were blasted into pieces, and the burning metal parts flew away like a rain of fire.

From the sky, one could see that the turret outside the base was collapsing at an extremely fast speed. The flames that exploded were like torches, and these torches were rapidly extending towards the base's hinterland. After a smelter exploded, several sharp auras finally rose from the base. Clearly, the experts in the base were unable to sit still.

At the same time as those auras rose, there were also a few auras echoing from the golden lion, and the experts of both sides clashed.

Kedorf and his team were advancing towards an arsenal under construction when the outer wall of the arsenal shattered and a strange machine appeared from within. The upper body of the machine is humanoid, with a distinct torso and two arms mounted with quantum cannons. His lower body was like an animal, with four thick legs. His entire body was covered in metal armor, and the four electronic eyes on his head flickered with blue light. Everyone who had dealt with the Nelm army knew that this machine was the ground war chariot of the Nelm people. They could operate in almost any harsh environment, and the Federation called them annihilators.

As soon as the annihilator appeared, the armor on his shoulders rose, and the dual beam cannon that was flipped out from within shot towards Kodorf's team. Kedorf shouted loudly, telling his team members to disperse and evade, while he charged towards the annihilators. He passed through the four legs of the machine and used the magic energy machine gun in his hand to sweep through it. Unfortunately, the armor of the annihilator was too thick. The magic energy machine gun only swept away a few pieces of armor, and it didn't even injure the internal circuits and parts of the machine.

The annihilator ignored the bugs beneath its stomach and raised the quantum cannon in its arm. With a flash of cannon light, a huge fireball rose from the ground. The power of the fireball was simply not something these commandos could contend against. Christopher gritted his teeth and pounced on a thick leg of the annihilator, setting the time bomb on its thigh joint. When he jumped down, the bomb exploded, directly destroying the joint. The annihilator immediately lost his balance and knelt to the side. Kedorf rolled out from beneath it and climbed up with dust all over his body. He saw the annihilator turn around and face him, the muzzle of the quantum cannon close at hand.

The light from the muzzle of the cannon lit up Cdoff's eyes, and when he thought it was time, the cannon light suddenly dimmed. Kedorf shouted and rolled away from the turret. Raising his head, he noticed that the annihilator's head had disappeared. A person was standing at the place where it was supposed to be, and a thin saber was hanging from his hand. A ray of light appeared on the annihilator's body, extending vertically, separating its body. Then the two sides of the machine split apart, and electric fires burst out from the inside, but the edges of the cuts were astonishingly smooth. As for the figure standing on the machine, it had already flown away before the Destroyer fell, and only then did Kodorf's team run over.

Someone asked, "Who is that? He is so strong that he slashed the Destroyer in half with a single saber."

Kurdorf clenched his fist and smashed it at his head, scolding him with a smile, "Idiot, you can't even recognize Mr. Horn. I see you've lived in vain."

"What? Is that Mr. Horn?" The man was screaming in pain, but when he heard the name, he jumped up and said, "Boss, you didn't say it earlier."

Christopher spat in disdain.

Horn barged into the base one man and one knife at a time. This base was guarded by several experts, but compared to Horn, it was not worth mentioning at all. Along the way, Horn casually killed one person, while the rest were already fighting against the experts of the Golden Lion. Horn rushed straight towards the center of the base. He felt uneasy. This was an inexplicable feeling, as if something terrifying was in the center of the base.

This uneasiness made him unable to wait for the army to take down the base, so he went deep alone.
