Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1520: Throw Straws Against the Wind

[The black ship hovering in the sky in front of the imperial city of Sulaka is turning around. In the command room of the black ship, the interim commander appointed by Frius has a serious expression and a nervous expression. He clenched his fists uneasily and looked at the big screen with rapt attention, urging, "Didn't you contact His Majesty?"

"No, my lord." The crew member reported.

The commander sighed and said, "Then prepare for battle. What's going on? His Highness is not our ally. Why is he here at this time..."

He wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect Alan and Lucy to have such a relationship.

Finally, a similar starship appeared on the big screen. The starship on the other side activated its shield and was charging in their direction with all its might. The commander gritted his teeth and ordered, "Shoot, don't let them disturb His Majesty."

In an instant, all the weapons platforms on the black ship opened fire. Scarlet beams of light and physical missiles pulling flames interweaved in mid-air, forming complex trajectories as they traveled through the ship like kaleidoscope. The oncoming starships weren't willing to be outdone. Hundreds of light spots appeared around the starship. A moment later, beams of light shot over. The beams of light from the two ships pierced through the air, colliding and blowing up fireballs. The two ships bombarded each other, and the artillery fire grew increasingly intense as the distance between the two sides drew closer.

On the armor plate of the starship, Alan lowered his body slightly to stabilize his body. Allen whispered, "Alright, leave this place for now and wait for my next order."

Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the starship. Alan's figure intermittently pierced through the howling beams of light, physical missiles, and exploding fireballs in midair before finally landing on Dobia's starship.

As soon as Alan landed, dozens of cylindrical objects rose from the starship. They opened one by one, and golden dawn warriors gushed out from within. These warriors weren't weak. Each of them had a combat strength of around Level 20, equivalent to a Commander of the Federation. It was a pity that he still didn't pay enough attention to Alan. As soon as these warriors took a step or two, they suddenly felt that their bodies were heavy and difficult to move. However, it was ten times the gravity of Alan's Sinking Star Armor. After suppressing them, Alan lifted his foot and heavily stepped on the starship's body. The large starship immediately sank, and its power spread through the air. Moments later, short circuits and explosions of varying degrees appeared in the interior of the starship. The roaring weapon platforms stopped firing one after another, and black smoke began to emit from the starship as it slanted downwards. As a result, the Dawn Warriors who appeared on the starship were thrown out and fell down dancing and dancing.

Alan stomped his foot again and dodged. After two attempts, he left the starship and glided towards Sulaka. Just as he was about to land, another black pillar of fire burst out from Sulaka. The heat and impact came towards him, and Alan's expression changed slightly. He recognized that it was Frius' black tomb.

The Black Emperor was indeed here!

On a stone staircase leading to Noble District, Mainne cleared the way ahead, followed by Lucy and Angeloni, and behind the two women were the remaining seven or eight guards. After the starship landed on the ground, they went all the way to the center of the imperial city. Fortunately, Frius did not intentionally follow them. Otherwise, as long as the Sovereign's will was swept away, even if Mainne and the others restrained their auras, they would not be able to escape Frius' perception.

Behind them, a black dragon soared into the sky. Frius had already casually released the Black Burial seven or eight times. Once, he was very close to them, and just the impact of the explosion had knocked all of them to the ground. Feeling the power of the Black Burial, even the strongest member of the team, Mainne, gave up the idea of fighting Felius. If he was within the Black Burial Grounds, even Mainne would be buried in the flames, let alone anyone else.

"We're almost there." Mainne turned around and said, "When we get up there, let's find a place to hide. If we're lucky, Frius will think we're going deep into the imperial city. If we turn back then we'll probably be able to leave this place."

Under the pressure of the Black Emperor, even Mainne lost his confidence. Lucy nodded silently and focused on the seemingly endless stone steps in front of her. They didn't dare to divulge their auras, which slowed down their advance and forced them to resist the sandstorms along the way. The hardship involved was not something that the parties could not understand. Angeloni pushed Lucy away from time to time, and the woman kept her head down so that no one could see the panic on her face.

It shouldn't be like this!

A voice shouted in Angeloni's mind, "Why is Frius here?" Didn't the emperor of Dobia, one of the two Paragons of Agares, have to be in the Garter Domain? No, if this goes on, we'll all be killed!

Angeloni, who was trying her best to restrain herself, would only tremble in the slightest inadvertent movement. In fact, she is a woman who is more insecure than anyone else. Especially after knowing that he had become a bloody voter, he had been living in Allen's shadow. Especially after hearing Allen's story and the proof of his growing strength, Angeloni's panic increased day by day. Although she had drawn up a plan that looked pretty good this time, as for what the result would be, she actually had no idea. However, Angeloni had never expected to bump into Felius here. The threat posed by the Black Emperor was naturally a hundred times greater than Alan's. Under the Sovereign, even if she went all out, there was no chance of winning.

It was not easy for the team to get onto this new platform block. This was the noble living area of Sulaka Royal City, with tall buildings and spacious streets. There were many places for them to stay. But before they could find a place to hide, the light above their heads suddenly dimmed. Then, a figure floated lightly above the head of a stone statue in front of them. Frius smiled and looked at the crowd and said, "Game time is over."

In that instant, Angeloni was on the verge of collapse.

Mainne's mouth was full of bitterness. They were like a group of rats hiding from evil cats. They thought they were going to escape the threat of cats' claws. Unexpectedly, when they turned a corner, the evil cat opened its mouth wide and waited for them to deliver themselves to the door.

As Frius said, from beginning to end, this was just a game to him.

He didn't even intend to waste his breath with them. Felius raised his arm and intended to bury all of them here with a black burial. Right at this moment, he let out a "yi" sound, then raised his head to look at the empty sky.

Mainne and the others also raised their heads in confusion. A moment later, a black dot appeared in the sky. The black dot gradually enlarged through the sandstorm, and Mainne's pupils contracted. He could clearly see that it was a figure!

"Could it be?" Lucy covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.

"Why is this kid here?" Felius couldn't figure out the situation and temporarily put down his raised hand.

The sound of breaking through the air rang out like thunder coming from far away. A figure wrapped in dark flames slanted down the platform and landed on both sides of the platform, causing a cloud of dust to explode. In the dust, the figure stood up, stood up, and faced Felius. Amidst the dark flames, Allen's pale flames fluttered as if they were flying. His eyes glowed with flames, and he loudly said, "Your Majesty, may I have a word?"

Frius said expressionlessly, "Why?"

"Oh," he said, "I've heard that you have some unclear relationship with a royal daughter of Adahua Planet. Could it be her?"

Alan turned around and the dark flames subsided. The flames in his eyes also subsided slightly. He looked at Lucy in the distance with a gentle gaze and nodded.

"You want me to let her go?"

'"Yes, she's my favorite woman. No matter what, I can't let her die here," Alan shouted to Felius once again.

Frius smiled. "Tell me, then, why? If you were Spenak, I would probably be a little scared. If you were Orfasis, I could agree, because I wouldn't miss out on a good opponent for a little girl. But for you?"

'"Do you think I would sell you this favor? Don't be mistaken. I didn't kill you before. I was only playing with you because I saw that you had some potential and I panicked. But now, Orfasis will be here soon. He's a big dinner. As for you, it's only a front dish at best. I don't need to promise you anything." Frius put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and said, "For the sake of my good mood, leave this place immediately. I can pretend that nothing has happened. You have the potential to become a Paragon, and perhaps you will become a good opponent in the future. I advise you not to risk your life here for the sake of boredom."

Everyone's hearts sank. They all knew that Frius had a murderous intent.

As for Alan, he was the calmest one. Before coming here, he had already envisioned the worst-case scenario, and no matter how bad the situation was, it was still like this. He lifted his foot and stomped. The streets in front of Mainne split from left to right, and then the ground sank. The sudden change in structure caused the ground to begin to crack. Mainne could only dodge to Lucy's side and carry her downwards. At this moment, he understood Alan's intentions. The man obviously wanted to personally stop Frius. It was no different from hitting a rock with an egg, but behind this simple action, there was a deep feeling for Lucy. Only by deeply loving someone would he be willing to use his egg to strike a rock for her!

Lucy naturally knew this, and she opened her mouth to call out, but she could not. He could only stretch out his hand in vain, wanting to capture one or two of Alan's auras.

Angeloni was also in a complicated mood. Alan was so focused on Frius that he was so close to her as a bloody voter that he didn't realize it. At this moment, Angeloni hoped that Alan would die at Frius' hands, so that even if she could not sit on the Throne of Destruction, she would not have to worry about dying at Alan's hands in the future. But she also hoped that Alan would survive, so that she would still have the chance to touch the Throne of Destruction. These complicated thoughts rose and fell in Angeloni's mind one after another. In the end, she could not tell which of them was her true thoughts.

In the next moment, everyone looked at the sky.

The sky was burning!
