Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1422: Evernight Star (1)

"What, you're not interested?" '"If I remember correctly, General Catherine has looked at Earth's war reports quite a bit these days," said Russen, tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Catherine raised her eyebrows. "You were watching me?"

"Surveillance?" Russen smiled. "I'm just concerned about my general."

"Thank you for your concern, general, but I think, I'm not important enough to need you always pay attention to the general.

"

"That can't be said, no matter who, as long as he has been promoted to Level 30, it is worth my attention.

"

Catherine's eyes were calm, and her gaze flowed quietly like the Nether River. However, her gaze at Russen gradually grew deeper.

'"Alright, there's no need to look at me like that. You have to know that the Blood Gate Stronghold is very small. There are not many things you can hide from me, not to mention advancement. If I'm not mistaken, General Catherine came into contact with Void Origin Energy when she advanced, right?"

Catherine asked, "General Russen wants to know what Origin Energy I have?"

"

"No, I don't need to know. All I need to know is that you already have the combat power of an Admiral. It just so happens that you will be in charge of this operation, General Catherine."

"Then you?

"

Russen pointed out the window of the command building. "I have to stay. If even I leave, who can take care of the planet's natives?"

"Then what General Russen is saying is that you want me to be the commander of the army?"

"What, you don't have confidence?"

"Of course not." Catherine's lips curled into a smile, "But aren't you afraid that I've spread death to the abduction?"

"If you have the ability, go ahead and do it," Russen said.

Catherine smiled without saying a word.

Russen said: "The specific mission has been sent to your tactical board. In short, the president wants us to work with Queen Rose to attack Mo Suo so as to put pressure on the people of Nelm to force their main forces to withdraw from Earth." As for the specific actions, you can discuss them with General Merin. If there are no other questions, General Catherine, you may go down. "

Catherine crossed her legs and saluted Russen. With a wave of his cloak, he left the command room.

Adahua Planet.

For Golden City, today was another sunny day. The bright sunshine fell from the sky and dyed the streets and buildings golden. Today's Golden City was truly worthy of its name. Originally, such fine weather was a good time for the people on the floating island to travel. But today, the atmosphere on the floating island was solemn. An important meeting was being held in the Imperial Palace.

The sun shone through the corridor and dyed the scarlet carved handrail golden. A slender white hand brushed past the railing, and the slender figure leaning against the railing let out a soft sigh. Her golden hair shone in the sunlight, and the breeze gently carried the golden and slender hair, scattering dots of starry fluorescence in the air.

On the other side of the corridor, the female guard's ears twitched. She looked to the left of the corridor and saw a few people moving towards her. Before he could arrive, a voice sounded. Her voice was warm, but her tone was so sharp that the female guard frowned endlessly.

"I thought someone was waiting outside the palace. So it was Sister Lucy. Didn't Sister know that Father had an important meeting to attend today? She shouldn't have time to summon you, right?"

"

The female guard saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. He looked a little like Lucy, younger. Her clothes were dignified and luxurious, but her childish face was filled with ridicule and disdain.

As soon as she finished her sentence, a few girls of similar age followed suit. Lucy, who was leaning against the porch railing, gathered up her hair, which had been blown away by the wind, and turned to the guard in the shadows and whispered, "Let's go, Annie."

"

It was one of the sisters of the Queen, O 'Carrie, and Lucy. As for the other girls, they were O 'Carrie's playmates and attendants. Lucy's indifference made O 'Carrie very angry, especially when the guard named Annie also turned around to leave, which made O' Carrie even more embarrassed.

Seeing this, a girl beside him shouted, "Wait!"

"

Lucy stopped and asked with a frosty face, "What are you doing?"

"Don't be angry, Your Highness Lucy. I don't dare to ask you to wait. But this guard beside you is too rude. He doesn't kneel down to bow when he sees Her Highness O 'Carrie. Didn't Her Highness teach her the basic etiquette of the palace?" The girl chuckled.

Lucy said in a low voice, "Annie has just arrived at the palace. She doesn't know the etiquette of the palace yet. I will teach her when we get back."

"That's why." '"Since she doesn't understand, why don't I teach her today? Your name is Annie, right? Remember, no matter who you are. You're just a mere bodyguard in this palace. You should kneel when you see the royal family. Do you understand the basic etiquette?" O' Carrie smiled.

The girl beside him sneered, "If you understand, immediately kneel down and bow to Her Highness O 'Carrie."

Lucy snorted coldly and was about to step forward. Angeloni grabbed her hand and half-knelt on the ground. She lowered her head to O 'Carrie and said, "It was my bad manners, Your Highness O' Carrie."

O 'Carrie sneered, "As a guard, you should know how to be humble, but I can only tell from your tone that you are arrogant. Rosa, go up and slap her and let her remember her identity!"

The girl named Rosa smiled and walked forward. She looked sideways at Lucy and said, "Your Highness has such a frightening expression."

"I hope you know what you're doing," Lucy said, staring at O 'Carrie without looking at her.

O 'Carrie sneered, "Of course I know. I'm teaching my sister a lesson so that she won't lose her sister's face in the future. Of course, you don't have to thank me. It's my duty. Who told us to be sisters?"

Rosa used a finger to lift Angeloni's chin. There was no expression in the latter's eyes. Rosa showed a disgusted expression and slapped Angeloni in the face. O 'Carrie smiled smugly, turned around, and was about to leave when she heard Lucy's words behind her.

'"I heard that Sister O' Carrie once told Franco a favor in public. Unfortunately, she declined. I said that Sister O 'Carrie, as a royal family, you should have the dignity and restraint of the royal family. This is not something to be reckoned with. Besides, you like people like Franco. Your taste needs to be improved."

O 'Carrie's expression immediately changed.

It was a lifelong shame for O 'Carrie, especially when Franco forced Lucy to marry him outside the Royal Library shortly after rejecting her. Wasn't that telling the world that she couldn't compare to Lucy? This was something that O 'Carrie really cared about. Now that she had spoken to Lucy in front of so many people, O' Carrie's little bit of rationality disappeared.

"Shut up, you bitch!" She shouted, her little face twisted in horror as she turned around. "That coward Franco should have put you outside the library, so that no one would see you in the palace now!"

The girls beside him were shocked. Although O 'Carrie was an expensive empress, Lucy was also a member of the royal family. It was very disadvantageous for Ao Jiali to spread such public insults to the royal family.

Lucy sneered and strode over. Seeing that the situation was not right, the two guards behind O 'Carrie hurriedly stepped forward. One of the guards whispered, "Your Highness, please stay."

Lucy didn't say a word and raised her hand to slap the guard in the face before saying, "How dare a mere guard stop me? Annie!"

Angeloni raised her head with a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with killing intent. The corridor turned cold and Angeloni appeared in front of Lucy like a ghost. Her hands grabbed the arms of one of the guards, and with a slight shake of her hands, the two guards fell away. There were no obvious wounds on his body, but he couldn't get up for a while.

Lucy passed Angeloni and came to O 'Carrie. She slapped O' Carrie twice with her right and left palms.

A crisp voice rang out in the corridor, and O 'Carrie's little face revealed a stunned expression. After a while, she said, "You dare to hit me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare to hit you?" Lucy waved her hand. "You and I are both royal families, and I am your sister. You don't know how to be young and old. Sisters can only let you remember for a long time, so that you don't lose face with our royal family outside."

"You, you!" O 'Carrie was so angry that her chest rose and fell. Lucy had almost returned her words to her untouched, and she could not find a place to refute them. How could she not be angry and annoyed?

After a while, O 'Carrie said, "Alright, alright. I want to see how long you can be proud of yourself in this palace without the support of your family."

"Oh, I forgot that His Highness O 'Carrie has a Marquis uncle." Lucy smiled and said, "But let me remind you, I am the heir to the Golden Rose. Have you forgotten that every generation of heirs is firmly supported by the Golden Rose Family? Do you think your family is stronger than the Golden Rose Family?"

The Golden Rose Family was one of the oldest families in Adahua Planet. They were the descendants of the Great Empress Rose. She retired from politics at the end of the Rose Empress' era, but announced that every successor to the Golden Rose would be supported by the Origin Tools she had used.

O 'Carrie's expression was a little ugly. Of course, she did not dare to say that her family was stronger than the Golden Rose. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that this was a heart-chopping remark. Unwilling, she could only say, "The Golden Rose Clan has been in seclusion for many years. Whether or not they will keep their promise back then is still a matter of time. I advise sister not to hold too much hope."

At this moment, footsteps sounded. A palace guard came to the two women and said to Lucy, "Your Highness, Your Majesty wishes to see you."

Lucy nodded, winked at Angeloni, and walked to the other side of the corridor. '"Your Highness, your name is not on His Majesty's list of invitations."

Just as O 'Carrie was about to make a move, the guard lowered his voice and said, "Also, just because the Golden Rose Family has retired does not mean that we cannot hear the outside world."

While O 'Carrie was stunned, the guard had already turned around and left. The Empress' expression turned ugly. A few girls were still urging her to ask the family for help. Unexpectedly, O 'Carrie shut up and interrupted them.
