Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 272: Go Home

A piece of rock moved, and suddenly a few cracks appeared in the surroundings, revealing long and thin feet. On the surface of the rock, a few eyeballs rolled up, but it was an exotic beast disguised as a stone. Such dangerous species would normally disguise themselves as rocks and explode as soon as their prey passed by. However, it was clear that it had no intention of hunting today, because its developed senses had detected a strong tremor spreading along the steep walls of the mountains.

This tremor was similar to an eruption of a volcano. It was caused by violent and tyrannical energy.

However, there were no volcanoes near the Barren Lands, and the dangerous species did not know where the tremors came from, but instinctively avoided them. It had barely moved a few meters when it suddenly darkened. It was clear that there was still some time before sunset, and the eyes of the dangerous species looked towards the sky. The sky was gloomy and clouds of lead were dense. Countless purple-black rays of light appeared above this mountain range. They were constantly swimming in the air like swimming fish.

Every ray of light contained energy that threatened dangerous species!

An orange-red flame came from the side. From the ground, this flame seemed to be about to split the sky in two. Full of tyrannical aura, the orange-red flame was like a purple-black swimming light. The latter's movement accelerated, quickly cutting the orange light, and finally crushing it into pieces. The purple and black streams of light swirled violently. The rays intertwined to form a dark purple torrent that shot straight towards the source of the orange-red flames, as if it was a counterattack.

The sky darkened, and a thunderous explosion resounded in the sky, like the roar of a heavenly deity.

An orange bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through the lead cloud.

This puzzled the dangerous species, which had been living in the mountains for several years. He had seen lightning bolts in summer and lightning bolts in winter, but he had never seen lightning of this color before.

It was not a bolt of lightning, but a highly condensed sword light. The Origin Energy flames were all restrained to their limits, without any boundless momentum, but they contained an awe-inspiring might. Like lightning, it flew for tens of thousands of kilometers. The sky was bright and dark, and it had already struck the dark purple torrent. Compared to this, Zi Tao's speed was simply as slow as a snail's.

A muffled shout sounded in the sky.

The violet waves surged, creating a huge wave that dyed half the sky purple. Another ray of light flickered, and the purple waves of orange lightning exploded, turning into two-colored flames that split the sky in half.

Rain of fire filled the sky.

It was only half orange and half dark purple.

The orange flame landed on the ground, burning endlessly. If the purple flames fell, everything would decay.

First, the dangerous species moved to dodge the orange flames. After accidentally entering the purple flames, half of his body melted silently. This dangerous species died just like that, and a figure descended from the sky was reflected in his eyes that had yet to completely lose its luster. Then, he stepped on the soles of his feet and crushed the eyeballs into pieces.

Boridon panted in embarrassment, and his robe of the High Priest was cut one after another, making it look like it was hanging on his body like a piece of cloth. Boridon held a bone staff called "Plague" in his hand. The purple and black light around his body was like a fish, but it was a kind of offensive and defensive ability. On the other side, hundreds of meters away in the valley basin, a head of long red hair fluttered like flames in the wind, causing Polidon's pupils to dilate and contract repeatedly.

It took him a long time to say, "If we continue fighting like this, we will only lose to each other. Beautiful Empress, the battle on that side seems to be over. How about I suggest we stop here?"

What he was using was actually human language, but his pronunciation had yet to be corrected.

Beneath her red hair, Melinda's graceful face revealed a resolute expression. Unlike her usual gentle appearance, she resolutely said, "I refuse."

"Are you crazy? Didn't you hear me clearly? I already said that if we continue fighting, both sides will be injured!"

"I'm not deaf." '"So this is the difference between you and me, Boridon. You're thinking of losing both, and I'm thinking of fighting you here!" Melinda slanted down her giant sword and shattered the prison, "So this is the difference between me and you, Boridon. You're thinking of losing both, and I'm thinking of fighting you here!"

The tips of his feet pressed down on the ground, causing the ground to sink first, and then spurt out a stream of mud and sand. Melinda leaned forward and charged at Boridon. The Prison Severing Sword drew a string of sparks on the ground, drawing a straight line. On the other side of the line was naturally the Great Priest of the Saber Demon.

"Madman!" Boridon couldn't help but scream.

A distance of several hundred meters was only a blink of an eye under Melinda's feet. Polidon's cry was over, and the Prison Severing Sword had already bounced up. It carried a tyrannical and brilliant appearance, as if it wanted the entire world to be split apart, and it slashed towards Polidon with a murderous aura. Boridon pointed forward, and a dark purple shield interweaved between his breathing. A dense skeleton appeared on the shield. It was clearly a pattern formed from Origin Energy, but it was like a real object, producing a gloomy and icy aura out of thin air.

When the sword shields collided, the entire valley trembled.

Polidon's shield of Origin Energy instantly shattered into pieces. Fragments shot out from the sky and continued to disintegrate in the air, eventually turning into sand. However, he had already lost Polidon's figure behind the shield. He moved quickly and retreated. In the blink of an eye, he had already escaped a thousand meters, leaving behind an unwilling roar, "Your Majesty, next time we meet again, I swear to take your head!"

Melinda snorted, "Coward."

Then, he withdrew his sword and left.

At dusk, Sonya, who was standing on the wall, finally saw a red-haired figure on the horizon of the Death Star Abyss.

"General Melinda is back!" Sawyer shouted, her voice echoing throughout the entire base.

When Melinda walked into the command hall, Gao Lei, Alan, and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Melinda, they all straightened up to show their respect for the general. From Sawyer's words, Ellen knew that Melinda had fought Polidon alone, so she allowed the Rose Empress to join the battlefield in time. Seeing Melinda return, although she had many injuries, even her magic armor was damaged. She herself was in good spirits, and it seemed that her injuries weren't serious.

Boridon was ranked among the top three Saber Demons, and even if he was ranked at the bottom, he couldn't be underestimated. Melinda was able to return unhurriedly, so she knew how hard her hands were. She was worthy of being a fierce general of the Fourth Commonwealth.

After Sonya gave her a brief report on the advance base, Melinda nodded and said to Alan, "You did a good job, Second Lieutenant. Winnie will definitely be proud of you."

Alan looked at Gray and Sawyer and said, "Without Colonel Gray and the others, we might not be able to defend the base."

"That's what they should do." Melinda said calmly.

Gao Lei asked, "General, the forward base has been guarded. What are your plans next?"

"Set up a supply route from Lightning and Fire Base to here. As for the army, we, Queen Rose, will send half of our troops here soon." Melinda said simply.

"Split up? The battle on the plains "

"Naturally, it will be supported by Russen." Melinda smiled and said, "I have already agreed with him. Given the importance of this battle, the Death Propaganda will support us to the fullest. Of course, in return, I will give them thirty percent of their merits for the attack on the Sacred Remains."

Then he said to Allen, "The information brought back by the second lieutenant is very important. I will give you ten percent of it."

Without giving Ellen the chance to refuse, Melinda continued, "Next, I'll take the rest to the Neverwinter Lake. Just like that, we'll approach the Sacred Site inch by inch."

Gao Lei frowned, "Why not directly attack?"

"Of course, it's to distract the ten parts. In the end, it's to make them hesitate." Melinda clapped her hands and said, "Well, that's all for military affairs. You guys have a good rest, oh, Ellen "

Alan raised his head.

"It's time for you to go home," Melinda said with a gentle smile.

It was night, and stars were hanging in the sky above the curtain of night. On Nether Domain Star, it was rare to see such a clear night sky. Allen sat alone on the rooftop of the barracks, his hands propped up on the ground, and he raised his head to look at the sky.

The sound of footsteps echoed, and the fragrant breeze blew, and Lucy sat down beside her, "What, timid homesickness?"

Ellen shook his head and laughed, "How could you be so exaggerated? It's just that it's just a little sudden."

"It can't be considered sudden. After all, we've been here for two years. It's time for you to go back. Have you thought about what you'll do when you get home?" Lucy asked in the blink of an eye.

Ellen sat up straight and spread out his hands, "Take care of some personal matters. Then, it's time to form my own hunting party. Next, I should go on an expedition. I have to make some contributions to the family."

"That sounds good. Then let's consider it mine, Hunting Group."

"Huh? I thought you had to go back to Ada."

Lucy puffed up her cheeks and said, "What, are you driving me back so soon?"

'"No, no, I'm just that you might go back." Alan said hurriedly.

'"This young miss managed to slip out with great difficulty. I don't want to go back so early. Besides, exploring other galaxies is such an interesting matter. How can I not be involved? Listen, Captain Allen, I must be responsible for the finances of the hunting team!"

"Yes, yes, yes "

Ellen's ears twitched and he sighed, "Come out too, Wilick, stop laughing."

Two more figures flashed on the rooftop and Wilick shouted, "Boss, we're going to join the hunting squad too."

He hit Broy.

The Highlander nodded and said, "But I want to go home."

"No problem. After returning, everyone should rest for a while. I also have some personal matters to attend to."

"That's great. I happen to have time to learn another skill." Lucy clapped her hands.

"What is it?"

"Cake making."

"So Miss Lucy's dream is to be a pastry chef?"

"No, my ideal is the captain of an interstellar cruiser!"

""

The next day, Allen and the others left the base by car. Before they left, they received some good news. Because of the cooperation between Russen and Melinda, the Bian Rong army was able to stay. They would continue to guard the base, and Peter was appointed as the base's director by Melinda. Hearing this news, Allen was very happy for Peter and the Bian Rong army. They finally found their own value here.

Returning to Lightning Fire Base, a small Star Ship belonging to the Rose Empress was already waiting for orders at the airport. Due to Windsor Belo's busy military affairs, she was unable to send Alan and the others back this time, so the task fell on Queen Rose's head. At the airport, Alan bid farewell to Colonel Gray and sat on the starship. The starship slowly rose into the air, and through the porthole, one could see Gao Lei and the others waving goodbye.

Allen was not unimpressed. He had been away for two years, and he didn't know how his friends and relatives on Earth were doing.

When the starship rose to a certain altitude, it began to fly towards the Tai Qi layer. Alan looked out of the porthole and could vaguely see that the ground below was flickering with dazzling flames from time to time. He didn't know if there was another great battle going on in the mountain fire. No matter what, everything on Nether Domain had nothing to do with him.

Another battlefield was waiting for him!
