Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1549: The Legion Is in Its Infancy

Smelt City was located on the east side of Demonic Shadow Empire. After many years of war, both the city and the people here had an incomparably hard temperament. These temperaments were written in bricks and tiles in everyone's firm eyes. Therefore, Melting Furnace City did not panic much when they received attacks from unknown enemies. After all, the people here had long been accustomed to war. Even the soldiers at the bottom only grinned when they heard the news, and then did what they should do.

Alan followed Lamar into the command hall of the military headquarters. The screens in the hall were arrayed in an arc, each showing a city on the southern front that had been invaded. Six or seven cities, large and small, including the War Horn, Lil 'Dragon Fort, Armored City, and Wales Ridge, were all attacked. Every screen was filled with flames. From time to time, one could see the silhouette of the giant bee. Some cities had already fallen, only the war horns on the southern front and the shocking defenses of the Armored City were still there.

"Your Majesty, General Devlin's communication." An imperial general shouted.

Alan said in a low voice, "Take it."

The screen in the middle changed, and Devlin appeared in it. "Your Majesty, our army has taken back Cape City. There are some things you need to see," the first general said as he stretched out his hand to gently press down on Allen's chest.

"What is it, General?"

Devlin made a gesture and the scene switched to the hive with only one bottom and the bee that Devlin had killed. General Saber Demon's voice sounded on the screen, "As you can see, Your Majesty." I suspect this is an army, not an ordinary creature. They have bases, they have leaders, they operate in harmony and they strike with precision. These qualities weren't something exotic beasts could possess, and no matter how intelligent an exotic beast was, it wouldn't be able to accomplish this. "You see, apart from being able to hold enough soldiers, this honeycomb is also an arsenal. I suspect that these things are containers for soldiers."

Inside the hive, there were translucent bracts attached to the intricate space at the bottom. Devlin used a knife to cut open one of the bracts and a light yellow liquid flowed out from it, as well as a puppy-sized young bee. Devlin turned to the camera and said, "Although I have killed the Queen Bee, I think there should be a commander above her. Now that other cities have been attacked, I don't think passive defense is enough. We need to actively identify the source of these creature armies and deal with the leaders of the next level before we can eliminate the future trouble forever."

Ellen nodded and said, "General Devlin, I'll leave this task to you. Tell General Lammer if you need anything."

Devlin agreed and ended the communication.

The sound of footsteps rang out as Twilight walked behind Alan and whispered, "Your Highness, I just received news from Lord Mitinus."

"Mitinus?" Alan was slightly surprised. After returning from Garter, he was busy taking over Demonic Shadow Empire. Even Mockedan was unable to stay. Naturally, he did not return to the Forgotten Realm to meet Mitinus. Now that he heard the news, Alan could vaguely feel that it was related to the sudden appearance of a large number of biological weapons.

"Mitinas hopes that His Highness will return. As for the specific situation, he wants to explain it to you face to face." josei

Alan narrowed his eyes and said to Ramo, "General, I'm going to be away for a while. You'll be working with Devlin to deal with these intruders while I'm away. Now, prepare a high-speed airship for me. I need it urgently."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On this day, Alan and Twilight left Smelt City and flew in the direction of Mokedan on a high-speed flying ship. Ellen didn't want to alert anyone. He only greeted Melanie and the flying ship passed through the stronghold and landed on the icy plains in front of the Land of the Lost. The interference in the Forgotten Realm was serious, and the aircraft were useless. Moreover, as soon as they entered the Forgotten Realm, Mitinas had already sent two flying beasts over for their use.

He sat on the flying beast and headed straight for Death Valley.

On the flying beast, Alan frowned. He could clearly feel that the temperature in the Forgotten Realm had dropped a lot. It didn't affect him at all, but it could be a disaster for those who lived in the Forgotten Realm. As the flying beasts flew past Green Light Town and a few other towns, they could see that the lights in the town had dimmed down a lot, and there weren't many people on the streets. On the other hand, there were quite a few convoys on the way out of the Forgotten Realm. Snowy vehicles towed by snowy beasts began to move towards the exit of the Forgotten Realm one after another. It seemed that the people couldn't stand the cold and began to evacuate.

"What happened here?" Alan whispered. Of course, only Mitinus could answer this question.

When Death Valley was in sight, Alan's heart shook. The army of Death Valley was much stronger than they had seen last time. From afar, a large group of Fire Horned Demons could be seen flying through the mountains in groups, like flowing red rivers. A large number of Flame Knights were gathered near the lava rivers. They rode their horses along the river, and indeed had the aura of thousands of soldiers and horses. In the sky, there were groups of Poison Fire Vultures circling around. In the distance, one could see a few giant fire beasts hibernating on the ground.

At this moment, his Burning Legion truly felt like a legion.

The flying beast landed on the mountain where the Gate of Flames was placed. Alan jumped down the mountain and saw three more figures in front of the door. There were sturdy figures carrying fire warhammers, obscure figures with flickering figures, and women floating in the air with flaming wings on their backs. Each of these three was a sovereign. However, although their auras were powerful, they were still some distance away from Twilight. It seemed that their strength should be at Hillon's level. Seeing Allen, the three kings knelt down on one knee and bowed to Allen.

"Let me introduce you. This is Oletta, Hammer of Flames." Mitinas appeared behind the three monarchs and patted the tallest monarch. "Auretta is a true warrior. He is fearless. Even Blade Mountain Flame Sea cannot stop him."

Oletta was like a tin can. He was wrapped in armor made of thick steel plates. Sharp spikes could be seen everywhere. Two streaks of fire shot out from his helmet. He raised his warhammer and said loudly, "Oletta swore that His Highness would fight!"

Mitinas looked at the Sovereign King who was constantly flickering. This Sovereign King's entire body was wrapped in a black aura. Sparks were floating in the rising black aura. The Sovereign King who could hardly see his true appearance was like a shadow.

"Shadow of Dark Fire Quinn, his figure is unfathomable. The flames open the door for him to pass through. He cannot charge forward like Auretta, but Quinn has access to the most hidden places and no secrets can escape his eyes."

"Finally, this is Dolly Burning Wings. Her battlefield is the endless sky."

A pair of fire wings flew up, and a warm breeze came from beneath Dolly's feet. She raised her head with a pretty face like a young girl's, but her hair and eyes were flaming. She shouted to Alan, "I will defend His Highness's sky."

Alan nodded and said, "Mitinus, I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you to have prepared such an army for me."

"Yes, Your Highness." "Now that your Burning Legion has taken shape and these kings are here, I believe they can help you in the upcoming battle," Mitinas said.

"In that case, you didn't just call me back to tell me that the army is ready, did you?"

"Of course not. In fact, it's another important matter." Mitinus released a wave of energy. A moment later, a flying beast descended from the sky.

Alan looked at the flying beast and said, "What is this?"

"I believe His Highness has also noticed that the climate of the Forgotten Realm has changed. I think this matter has something to do with Alice."

Allen asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"The climate of the Forgotten Realm has changed dramatically not long ago," Mitinas said. "The decreasing temperature has affected the survival of living things. I once felt that the changes came from the depths of the Forgotten Realm. I thought about it, but after being alerted by a strong consciousness, I met Tong Wu. His words seemed to mean that he wanted to prevent something from happening. So I lent him the flying beast, but I tampered with it, and the flying beast that had carried Tong Wu faithfully recorded what it saw. From this, I discovered that there are some things in the depths of the Forgotten Realm. "

At this moment, the flying beast spat out flames from its eyes. The flames spread out and some images appeared in mid-air. Inside, Alan saw a bottomless abyss. He saw the giant black door behind the abyss and the tall walls that stretched for countless kilometers. He saw the earth, volcanoes, and swarm of bees behind the tall walls of the black door.

Among them, there was also a beehive in the air.

Seeing this, Alan immediately understood where the biological weapons that invaded the southern cities came from.

"This is?"

'"This is where Tong Wu went. From the images recorded by the flying beasts, I believe Alice is building up a huge army deep in the Realm of Remnants. More importantly, I suspect that she is extracting energy from the planet. You should see that volcano." "Strange, Your Majesty," Mitinas pointed to the volcano in the image. "How similar is the operation of this volcano to our civilization? So I think it's necessary to inform you that you might have to take a look at it yourself. The place in the image has a lot to do with us."

Alice once said that the person who created her was the Twilight Seed, just like Alan, and that she should be the Son of Twilight of a certain era. If that was the case, it wasn't surprising that the other party had created something else besides Alice. This explains why the volcano gave Mitinus a familiar feeling because it came from the same civilization. From Mitinus' words, that volcano should be some sort of device that extracted the energy of the planet. Alice used it to extract the energy of the planet to build an army. It was precisely because of this that the temperature in the Forgotten Realm suddenly changed. Or if they were not stopped, it would not be long before the entire Agares would be affected.

However, what exactly was Alice trying to do?
