Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1524: Audience

After thinking for a while, Luo Wen decided to leave. Now that Angeloni had left, the experts he had invited had also left. With just him and this army of about a hundred people, Rowen was really not confident that he could challenge the man who could fight against the Sovereign. Rowen's intelligence was still stuck in the battle between Alan and Orfasis. If he knew that Alan and Frius had fought yesterday and that Frius had been injured, he probably wouldn't have been so conflicted. He would have quickly wiped his butt and left as soon as the expert left.

"Retreat." Said Rowan helplessly, though he had let them go, especially Lucy and Mainne. However, he was confident that he would be able to drag it out for a while after he made some arrangements. As for what would happen in the future, he could no longer compare. The Marquis's identity would definitely be lost. In the future, he would have to leave Adahua Planet and live in other star systems. Thinking about how he had given up all his glory and wealth, Luo Wen was unwilling but helpless.

They headed for the starship's anchorage.

Just as they were about to arrive, a scarlet beam of light crossed the street and landed on the stern engine of the starship. The beam of light pierced through the engine, and with a boom, a fireball exploded. Even the two supporting brackets on the stern were broken. The front of the starship was raised high, and a few more beams of light descended one after another. Several flames sprayed out from the hull of the starship. In the flames, the hull lost its balance and rolled over, smashing heavily onto the ground, spitting out a burst of dust that almost caused Rowan to close his breath.

He was overwhelmed with shock and rage.

At this moment, the beam of light struck again, piercing through the building and taking away a few soldiers beside Luo Wen. Only then did the Marquis roar, "Find a cover, counterattack, counterattack."

He channeled his origin force to form a barrier to ensure that it would not be broken by the light beam. The other soldiers also opened their shields, lifted the restrictions on the firing of their weapons, and shot blindly in the direction of the attack. Scarlet and light golden beams crisscrossed the streets. In contrast, scarlet beams were not as dense as light golden beams. However, those scarlet beams of light were like the scythe of the god of death. Every time a beam of light fell, it would definitely take the life of a soldier. The opponent's attack angle was exceptionally crafty, always landing in a position that the shield did not protect. A moment later, Rowan's guards had been reduced by half.

Luo Wen hid in the ruins of a building and ordered the other two starships that had gone out early to execute the search order to hurry back. He could no longer chase after Lucy and the others and only wanted to leave this place alive.

Two kilometers away, Ellen was still moving. He kept this distance. With his eyesight and keen perception, it was easy to send the beam of light into the place he wanted, but Luo Wen's soldiers didn't have the ability to do so. Often, Alan would start to move after firing a shot, and the light golden light beams on the other side would only scatter around his previous position. The difference was not even a little bit. The distance between the light beams was enough for Alan to easily pass through.

At this moment, an imperceptible tremor came from the air. It was a sign that the aircraft was approaching from afar. Alan smiled. This was the result he wanted. A few seconds later, two more black dots appeared in the distant sky. The black dots quickly approached, and two flying bird-shaped starships could be seen. That was the typical style of Adahua Planet. Alan put away his energy rifle and changed to the Anthem of Shatter. Then, he moved towards the starship. His figure flickered, and he used the roof of the building as a landing point to accelerate. Sometimes, he even used space to travel. When the starship was as big as dark clouds, Allen appeared at the bottom of the starship once again. He waved his saber and the Shatter Hymn pierced through the armor of the starship like cheese. Then, the advancing starship was sliced open by the giant saber, and when the Shatter Hymn slid out of a stern engine. On the ground, Luo Wen saw a flame spurt out from the bottom of the starship and explode into a huge fireball. Fragments sprayed out of the fireball rained down on another starship nearby, and the starship crashed into a building under emergency evasion. The middle of the building exploded, and the falling wall rocks smashed down one after another. Luo Wen cursed loudly and ran back. Large boulders weighing in tons continued to fall, smashing onto the unlucky man's body like a deadly rain of boulders.

Luckily, Luo Wen didn't get hit by any boulders, but when he panicked, he was thrown down by the rubble on the ground and fell to the ground. He raised his head on the ground and saw that the last starship had slipped into a distant block and knocked down a few more buildings. Fortunately, it did not explode. At this moment, the grey-headed and grey-headed Marquis was about to get up when his neck suddenly turned cold. In the corner of his eyes, a fierce and evil-looking saber was placed beside his neck. The edge of the saber was only lightly pressed against his neck, and his skin was cut open. A string of fine blood droplets emerged from the wound. Then, Alan's voice came from his head, "Don't move, Lord Marquis, or I can't guarantee what will happen."

Luo Wen had already lost his balance and repeatedly said, "Don't kill me." Alan squatted down and said, "Of course, I want to give you to Orfasis to get along with. How could I kill you?" After saying that, he sliced his palm on the back of his neck. Origin Energy's palm trembled several times, causing Luo Wen to faint.

Lucy stood at the window on the third floor and could see smoke rising a few blocks away. Just now, she saw a starship explode in mid-air. She knew that Alan had done it. Lucy was worried that Alan would let her and Mainne stay behind today to deal with Rowan alone, even though she was confident in him. After Ellen left, she stayed here and watched. Half an hour had passed since the starship exploded, and as time passed, Lucy grew more and more uneasy. Only when a familiar figure appeared at the corner of the street did she feel relieved and ran downstairs to inform Mainne Allen that she was back.

Alan carried Rowan back to their hiding place, threw him to the ground, and sat down on a stone pillar to rest. Today, he had already recovered sixty to seventy percent of his state, but he still hadn't recovered. Luckily, the expert and Angeloni weren't by Rowen's side, otherwise Alan would have spent more effort.

Mainne was disarming Rowan and cleaning up his equipment and weapons. Then he buried a nano-bomb in Rowan's body, so that if Rowan dared to escape, he would be doomed to die without a corpse.

Lucy sat beside Alan and wiped the dust off his face. "Didn't you see Angeloni?" She asked.

"Yes, she's alert. It seems like she left early. It won't be easy for me to find her again." Allen spread out his hands and said, "But that's good. There's no need to worry about being completely awakened for the time being."

Lucy rolled her eyes at him and said, "She's always in the dark. It's not good for you."

"So what? The most dangerous moment has already passed. Fortunately, you had the Silver Winged Runner by your side. Otherwise, it would be dangerous."

Lucy nodded and leaned against Ellen's chest. "Anyway, as long as you're by her side, everything will be fine."

"What a fool." Alan kissed her on the forehead.

Suddenly, Mainne's pocket-sized brain rang out, waking Rowen up. Rowan looked around in panic. Mainne narrowed his eyes and said, "You've already planted a nanobomb in your body. If you want to run, try it."

Luo Wen's expression immediately turned terrible.

Only then did Mainne open his wristwatch-like brain, but it was a communication. A moment later, a projection interweaved by beams of light appeared in the eyes of the three of them. This projection was none other than Orfasis.

An hour later, a small airship landed on the floor. Mainne walked out first with Rowan, while Lucy took Alan's arm and went outside the building. The airship opened and someone drilled out. It was none other than Orfasis.

The King of Justice wore a dignified and magnificent armor, and his cloak fluttered behind him as he jumped with his steps. Orfasis walked down to the ground, and Luo Wen buried his head in his chest, not daring to look at Orfasis. When Orfasis arrived on Evernight, he contacted Mainne and had a rough idea of what had happened to them on the planet. Seeing that Luo Wen naturally snorted heavily, his own guards escorted him into the airship.

Orfasis looked at Alan and his daughter behind him and said to Mainne, "You go up first."

Mainne hesitated, glanced at Alan and nodded. He turned around and walked onto the flying ship.

Only then did Alan and Lucy step forward. Alan looked at the Emperor of Adahua Planet and said directly, "If His Majesty wants to bring me back to Adahua Planet, I will still resist to the end."

Lucy opened her mouth to speak, but made a gesture to Orfasis to stop her. Orfasis looked at Alan and said, "Thank you for everything you've done for Lucy and Mainne. Don't worry, I'm not going to take you back this time. I heard you fought Felius?"

Alan nodded.

Orfasis frowned and said, "This is troublesome. Frius is here, not Spenak. It seems like the Demon King's target is not some kind of golden flame."

"What's going on?" Alan asked.

Orfasis told him all about Sbernak's invitation to Evernight. Alan listened and smiled bitterly, "Looks like we've all been used by Sbernak, and Frius is no exception. Sbernak went to great lengths to lure us all to Evernight, I'm afraid."

'"That's right. Apparently, he arranged for Frius to hold me back here. Now leave, Ellen. I want to see you after the war in the Garter Domain ends. However, it's better for you not to step into Adahua Planet for the time being until then."

The implication was that Alan and Lucy would naturally be separated for a while longer. Although Alan was reluctant to part with her, he knew his limits and nodded to Lucy. At this moment, a vast and deep will swept across the crowd, and Felius's voice came from afar, "Orfasis, you're finally here!"

Orfasis snorted and said to Lucy, "Wait for me in Adahua Planet."

"Father, be careful." Lucy looked at Alan again before she got on the airship. The airship half-closed the cabin door and flew off into the distance.

Orfasis then said to Alan, "Are you going to be an audience?"

"If His Majesty doesn't chase me away." Alan smiled.
