Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1544: Undernight Colony

"Armistice agreement?"

Laura's face was filled with astonishment, and her expression was similar to those of the officials in the Shadow Hall who had heard the word truce from the mouth of the Fire Devil. She waved the Red Empress' heavy sword, but she used her long sword, Black Moon, to easily shove it to the side.

"Well, Dobia offered a truce. That's a good thing for me." Before Alan left, Black Moon drew out one crescent moon after another and attacked Laura.

Laura's Red Empress organized a defensive sword light, shattering all of Alan's black crescent moons. She didn't forget to say, "Dobia and Demonic Shadow Empire haven't been at war for many years. Stop whatever you say."

"Who knows." Alan shook his wrist and Black Moon bounced the red queen away. He took the opportunity to get close to Laura and hugged her slender waist with one hand. Laura bent her knees towards Alan's lower abdomen. The latter smiled and raised her leg. Laura narrowed her eyes and smiled. She suddenly bit Alan on the shoulder. With her strength, even metal would have to leave behind two rows of teeth marks, but there wasn't even a trace of it on Ellen's shoulder.

Laura snorted, "So hard."

Ellen purposely gritted her teeth and shouted in pain. Of course, Laura didn't like him. He smiled and bent his elbow to push him away. Then, he waved a sword flower and said, "Come again."

"Can't we fight in another way?" Alan frowned.

Laura ignored him and raised her sword to slash him.

The two of them exchanged blows again. The two black and red swords interweaved into a dense sword light in this training arena. A few minutes later, the Black Moon was blown away by the red light. Only then did the training come to an end.

Alan wiped Black Moon and said, "But I see something about Dobia's truce. Do you want to know?"

"I said I didn't want you to say it." Laura took a sip of the drink to replenish her hydration and spread out her hands. "So I'll be a good person. Tell me about it."

Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "Looks like it's been too long since I've taught you a lesson. You've forgotten how powerful you are."

Laura laughed, her face full of provocation. Alan snorted and said, "I think Frius must have been wounded badly in the battle between the two Paragons of Evernight. I heard that the planet has been destroyed. No wonder Spenak has avoided fighting against him. Agares won't be able to handle the Paragon's attack."

"You said that the Black Emperor was injured and needed to recover, so you proposed an armistice?"

'"This should be the most reasonable explanation. Of course, there are suspicions of selling favors to me. In the end, I am not a supreme being. Even if Frius is injured, we might not be able to take advantage of the war. Besides, Sbernak is missing. I guess the Black Emperor must have felt bored and decided to stop fighting with us." Alan finished wiping the black moon and threw it into the spatial wrist wheel. He stood up and patted Laura's buttocks, "Let's go, take a shower. This is sweaty."

The bathroom in the palace was very big, even bigger than Alice's crystal hall. Warm water flowed out of the beast statues on both sides of the bathtub, filling the bathtub. Alan and Laura took up one side, and Peggy and the other two sisters served them separately. There were only the four of them in the bathroom, so it was quiet.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Smelt City for a walk. Will you come with me?" Alan took a drink from Peggy and took a sip. However, after entering his throat, an incomparably sweet fragrance gradually spread out from his throat. His body was also warm, and his silent Origin Energy was also leaping with joy. This drink had strict requirements from ingredients to preparation. It was a special drink from Shadow Castle, and could not be drunk outside.

Laura drank the same drink and leaned against the pool and said lazily, "I'm not going. Look at the big breakthroughs Bai and Hubble have made, and Belmord is helping you set up an intelligence network. I'm the most idle. This time, I'll stay here and think about how to raise my combat strength. At worst, I won't hold you back in future battles."

Laura was originally a valiant warrior. When Heaven Star met that day, although her combat strength was slightly lower than Alan's, her distance was still limited. However, today, the distance between Laura and Alan was like a heavenly chasm. If he wanted to get closer, he would have to put in a lot of effort. Laura knew this, and Alan knew it better. Alan knew that she had her own dignity. No matter how much she loved her, her dignity as a warrior did not allow her to turn a blind eye to the gap between the two of them.

He nodded, "Then I won't force you. Why don't you ask Lamo to find a general to accompany you in your training?"

Laura shook her head, "Actually, I've already asked someone."

Alan asked casually, "Who is it?"

"General Devlin."

'"Devlin? I don't think she would be a good teacher," Allen almost spilled the drink. "You're playing with your life if you ask her to give you some pointers."

Laura said seriously, "At our level, how can we not risk our lives if we want to make a breakthrough?" Otherwise, Hubble wouldn't have gone to the grey area to find an opportunity. Without Wasak's life and death at the Blood Tooth Sacrifice, Hubble would not have been able to reach the Void Origin Energy. Do you think everyone is white? You can directly advance after sleeping. That's why I'm looking for Devlin, because no one else dares to kill me. "She's the only one. If I'm not careful, I'll really die."

Alan sighed and said, "Alright, I respect your decision. But Laura, fighting power is important, but I cherish you more. So promise me, don't force it."

Laura swam over and leaned against Ellen's chest.

The next day, Allen took Lamar and Bai and left Demoic Ring City. A fleet of large and small fleets flew into the sky and headed towards the eastern part of the empire, Smelt City. After the signing of the armistice agreement between the two countries yesterday, Dobian troops on the eastern front have retreated. This time, they retreated completely, directly retreating to the other end of the continental bridge. Currently, Smelt City was recovering from its loss and rebuilding its defensive line.

After Ellen left, Laura was led to the Demoic Ring City barracks by two imperial generals. On the barracks grounds, Devlin, who had taken off her heavy armor, wore only a top and loose leggings on her lower body. With his bare feet and long hair tied up, he sat on the school grounds with the Black Devil Battle Saber in his arms as if he was sleeping. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Devlin opened her eyes and looked at Laura hoarsely, "I didn't expect you to dare to come. Then be careful. My knife doesn't have eyes."

"That's music to my ears." Laura slapped the red sheath of the sword, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although the name of Cape City carried the word 'Sea', the fact was that the city was not on the seaside. It was only a primeval forest next to the city that was famous for its rich production of a mineral called Cape Stone. Cape stone is a special kind of mineral iron. The keel made from it can make ships sail in the sea of blood. Not only that, weapons forged from Cape Stones were naturally capable of gathering water-type Origin Energy, so this type of iron ore was not a problem in Demonic Shadow Empire. In the beginning, Cape City was only a small town with two mines and a dozen small processing workshops. After more than a hundred years of development, it gradually developed from a small town to a large city with a population of 100,000.

It was late at night, and the lights in Cape City could still be seen. Especially the huge horn made from the Cape Stone in the city square, which was glittering with natural fluorescence under the dark night. This type of fluorescence attracted the presence of nearby exotic beasts all year round, so the city defense of Cape City was on alert all year round. Even in the middle of the night, several groups of soldiers patrolled in turn to ensure that no exotic beast would be let in.

In the command center of the city defense corps, a few officers on duty were gathered together. Their chests were all covered with the insignia of the Shadow Army. As the largest army in the empire, the Shadow Army was responsible for defending many cities, and Cape City was no exception. The Shadow Army stationed in Cape City numbered 6,000. There weren't many, but there were also quite a few. To this southern city that was rarely affected by the flames of war, 6,000 troops was enough to cope with the city's defenses. Even if the exotic beasts raged every three years due to the influence of two suns, the 6,000 Shadow Army could cope calmly.

In the command center, a Baltic officer with four arms was using his three arms to quickly operate the instrument, scanning the situation in every corner of the city wall. The rest of his arms picked up a cup of hot drink and sent it to his mouth for a sip, saying, "After the succession ceremony, Lord Roma will be in big trouble."

"No one would have thought that the Demonic Dragon Clan, which has stood for a thousand years in the empire, would collapse. Although Lord Roma is an outsider, he is also implicated. I wonder what kind of changes will take place in the empire next." A Baltic with a crocodile head said.

'"Even the emperor can be succeeded by a human," laughed another Baltic, wiping his black axe. "I don't think it's strange what happens again."

"It's really strange. What exactly does His Majesty Sbernak think? He actually let a human become our emperor." josei

"What's there to think? Anyway, it's none of our business who becomes the emperor. You guys should cut the crap and work hard."

At this moment, someone cried out. The four-armed officer stared at the scene in front of him and said, "Look at this place. Bio-radar found a group of flying creatures approaching from high up in the sky."

"What's there to make a fuss about? Will there be fewer things flying over our heads every day?" The officer wiping the axe was somewhat dismissive.

"Yes, too."

Just as they were chatting, a thick cloud came from the sky of Cape City. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that it was not a layer of clouds, but a huge flying insect that was nearly a meter long. These flying insects had dark armor and yellow lines on their bodies. They looked very much like bees, but bees could not have such a big head. The number of such bees was enormous, and they buzzed as they flew in groups. It was just that it was very far from the ground, so there wasn't much noise coming from Cape City.

As they approached Cape City, the giant bee began to descend. The tail of the giant bee that flew at the front stretched downwards. A sting shot out from the tail and stabbed deeply into the city wall. The stripes on the spike lit up. The next second, the spike exploded like a bomb, creating a fireball on the city wall!
