Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1445: A Stronger Heart



Chapter 1445: A Stronger Heart

"Lord Ganli, everything you need is here."

The City Lord of Iron Tree City smiled and knelt down beside Ganli, almost kissing the general's shoes.

Ganli was sitting on a large, loose chair, and two beautiful maids were delivering delicious food to his mouth. The long table in front of him was filled with gold, gemstones, crystals and rare minerals. These things were piled together and immediately reflected the jewelry in the room.

Pushing aside a waitress, Ganli walked forward and casually picked up a statue carved out of gold and embedded with gemstones. "You are much richer than what I look like. I say, Your Excellency City Lord, even a Great General of the Empire might not be as rich as you are. You can't possibly take all the money you set aside every year to make ends meet, right?"

The city lord's face was ashen as he buried his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "There is no such thing, Your Excellency."

"

"No?" Gan used his toes to lift his chin and raised the golden statue in his hand. "Then what's going on?"

The City Lord was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, his head lit up and he shouted, "These are Lord Ganli's collections. They were only entrusted to me by His Excellency for safekeeping."

"Oh, is that really the case?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll pack up and send it over for you immediately."

Ganli laughed heartily and patted the poor city lord's shoulder. "Looks like you can still sit in the city lord's seat for a long time."

"Thank you for your encouragement, my lord."

The City Lord made a gesture, and the butler behind him immediately informed someone to take the treasure off the table and pack it for Ganli. Although the City Lord's flesh hurt, it was better than offending this moody general.

When he sent Ganli out of the mansion, he casually asked, "When will Sir leave?"

"What? Lord City Lord is driving us away?"

"No, no, no, no. It's an unparalleled honor for Lord Iron Tree City to have you here. I wish Lord Iron Tree City would have more time." The City Lord spoke out against his will.

Ganli smiled and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow. We probably won't see each other again."

The expression on the city lord's face relaxed as he watched the general leave on the road. At this time, the butler came out. Behind him was a car filled with jewelry. He whispered to the City Lord, "Sir, these things?"

"Nonsense, of course it's sent over, and it has to be done quickly!" The City Lord's heart ached endlessly, but the lost treasure could be saved again. If he lost his life, then everything would be over. He could only wave his hand and ask the butler to deliver the items to the barracks.

Back at the barracks, just as Ganli got off the car, an officer ran up and said angrily, "My lord, something happened."

"What is it?" Ganli asked slowly, and Yu Yun kissed the beautiful woman beside him.

The officer said in a deep voice, "Lord Mirion's army is completely annihilated. Lord Mirion is probably dead in battle!"

Ganli's body stiffened and he pushed away the woman beside him, "When did it happen?"

"Just now." The officer accompanied Ganli to the command post and said, "We kept in touch with Lord Mirion's fleet after he left. When Lord Mirion went to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest, Lord Mirion's fleet and the enemy began to fight. In less than two hours, we lost contact with the fleet."

They entered the command post and went straight to the main hall.

"We sent out a reconnaissance plane. This is the scene of the battlefield taken by the reconnaissance plane." The officer gestured, and a scene appeared on the main screen of the hall. The scene was taken from high up in the sky, and one could see the wreckage of many flying ships, damaged chariots, and corpses scattered all over the plains.

One of the craters that occupied almost the entire scene was the most shocking. It was clear that the enemy had used some sort of weapon of mass destruction, or that it was directly the work of their experts. There were many chariots and hundreds or even more corpses buried in this exaggerated pit.

Ganli sat down absentmindedly. The officer continued, "We searched carefully and finally found something based on Lord Mirion's spatial wrist wheel locator."

The scene changed, and a charred hand appeared within. Fragments of the wrist wheel were scattered beside the remaining arm. It was unknown what kind of attack Mirion had encountered, but even the spatial wrist wheel had been completely damaged. This way, the things stored inside would forever be lost in a certain subspace.

Holding his forehead, Ganli remained silent for a moment before saying, "Send this matter back to Demoic Ring City as a detailed report. At the same time, inform the officers at all levels that we will not move for the time being."

"Sir, you mean, we don't leave tomorrow?

"

"Bullshit. Mirion is dead. What are we going to do? Send him to be slaughtered? His Majesty has no intention of fighting Mockdale to the death. Our role is more to exert pressure. But now, it seems that we used to only give our heads. At that time, we will only become bargaining chips on the negotiating table. Understood? Idiot!"

The officer obediently went down.

Ganli shook his head and looked at the broken hand on the screen. Finally, he smiled bitterly.

The day after the battle, in the main hall of the Mockdale City Lord's Mansion, Alan placed Endless Shatter on the table and said, "This thing is broken."

This sentence was like a bomb that shook the people in the hall for a long time in the early morning. If they hadn't known the power of the Endless Shattering before, then Alan had already made them see clearly the battle against Mirion yesterday.

A Great General of the Empire, the second ranked Mirion, died at the muzzle of the Endless Shattering Guns. As experts like Bali and Mirion were destroyed by Allen, Allen's reputation had risen. Even old imperial clans like Smoker and Tread had no doubt that Allen had the potential to become a Paragon.

As long as he killed a few more generals, Allen's prestige would be unbreakable.

And with Endless Shattering in hand, wasn't the Imperial Great General the one who delivered the dishes to his door? But now, Alan said it was broken!

Laura flipped the gun over and over in her hand, unable to see through the door. She handed it to Belmord and asked, "Where did it go wrong?"

"Endless Shatter needs to replenish its Origin Energy every day. Thanks to it, I have been tempering it a lot more frequently recently. Last night, when I injected it with Origin Energy, I discovered that it did not respond at all. Today, I am even more certain that even the remaining Origin Energy from the gun itself has disappeared completely." '"Could it be that I misinterpreted the information before? This gun can only be used twice to shatter space at a time, but it was scrapped after using it twice?" Allen said with his forehead supported.

Laura said, "That's impossible, isn't it? Did the empire spend a lot of manpower and material resources to create a killing weapon just to fire two shots?"

"I think so too, but it really doesn't have any reaction to my Origin Energy right now." Alan spread out his hands.

"Didn't Young Master say before that Endless Shattering can only be powered by the Belmord of the Heart of the Stars or the essence of life. Only when you discover that it can still absorb the Void Origin Energy can it be used?" Said Origin Energy.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

'"Then could it be that the engineers of the empire have never thought that the Endless Shattering could be powered by Void Origin Energy, so the parts inside this gun are not compatible with Void Origin Energy?"

Allen patted his forehead and said, "I see. You mean that the Void Origin Energy was used. Although Endless Shatter can be used, it was broken because the parts inside didn't support it? That's possible. Unfortunately, there aren't any Imperial Engineers here now. It looks like we'll have to rob a few more engineers to see if we can modify this gun in the future."

"If you are an Ordnance Engineer, I think you can only go to Demoic Ring City to rob it, right?" Belmord looked at the others and said, "It doesn't sound like a simple job."

"It doesn't matter. There will always be a chance." Allen put the gun into the spatial wristwheel. "That's good. Otherwise, if you rely too much on endless shattering, you don't know when you'll break through."

At this moment, Hubble pushed open the door and entered. Perhaps he did not expect Laura Belmore and the others to be present in the hall. The people of Gatu were stunned for a moment, and then they hesitated to say anything. Hubble had always been careless and seldom shy, and Allench said, "What's wrong? You're not looking for a drink in the morning, are you?"

"No," Hubble waved his hand.

"Is that to talk to Lim?" Laura suppressed her laughter and asked.

"Lim isn't here. Besides, she doesn't want to see me these two days." Suddenly, Hubble realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and immediately glared at Laura.

"Then who are you?"

"There's a question I want to ask you." Hubble pointed at Alan.

"Me?" Alan nodded, "Alright, you can ask."

Hubble glanced at the people in the hall and snorted, "There are so many people here. Follow me."

Seeing him turn around and walk out of the hall, Alan spread out his hands and said, "This consultant has a temper." After all, he went out to hear what Hubble wanted to ask him.

On the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion, Hubble sat down with his hands crossed around his chest and said, "I recently found myself at a bottleneck. Now I know that after reaching Level 30, it's a completely different world." In this world, Origin Energy levels were already dispensable. The deciding factor was the grade of Origin Energy. "If I don't touch the Void Origin Energy and can't control a Void Origin Energy, then I'm only slightly stronger than a Level 30 or below fellow. This is not what I want, and it's too far away from my goal."

Allen knew that the Gatu had always wanted revenge on the Gatu King, Barbarian Hammer, who had destroyed his tribe. Hubble had been working hard in this direction, but now it seemed that he had probably run into a wall on the Void Origin Energy. Otherwise, with his personality, he would not lower his profile and ask others for advice.

'"Think back to the time when we first met, we were still on par with each other. Now, not only do you grasp the Void Origin Energy, you also grasp even more power. Although I am unwilling, I have to admit that you are far too strong in this field." Hubble looked straight at Alan and said solemnly, "So I want to ask you, what is Void Origin Energy, exactly how to touch it, and how to master it?"

Alan walked over and patted the big guy on the shoulder. "I can understand your feelings. Don't worry, I'll tell you. Whether you can grasp the Void Origin Energy or not depends on your own luck."
