Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1220: Federal Attack

A high-altitude eagle circled the mountains. After centuries of evolution, this type of bird of prey had evolved quite a bit more than its predecessors in the old era. The pollution of the earth's surface after the Battle of Dawn was a severe test for all life. All the creatures that could survive in such a harsh environment had become extremely ferocious and ferocious. The Highland Eagle, for example, is at least twice as big as its predecessors, and its black, oily feathers not only reflect intense rays from the sun, but even give it the ability to fly in rainy weather for a short period of time. Its strength is 3.2 times greater than its predecessors, allowing it to easily catch an adult elk and fly long enough.

Everything was competing in a harsh environment. The weak had already been eliminated by the times, and all of the survivors were strong enough to survive.

The Highland Eagle stared at an elk. Even though it was quite a distance away from its prey, its eyesight had also improved after centuries of evolution. Even though it was only a small black dot in its eyes, its prey would clearly appear in its eyes after its vision was adjusted. The flying eagle circled around and slightly pressed down to dive. It dived at a speed sufficient to catch its prey even after it was discovered. This was a skill unique to high-altitude hunters, and it had been tested repeatedly in the past countless hunts.

However, the bird of prey suddenly cancelled its hunting plan. It seemed to sense something and let out a few panicked cries before circling in another direction. A moment later, a strange buzzing sound came from the clouds above the mountain peak. An indescribable pressure caused the animals on the ground to flee first, if the high-altitude eagle could fly any higher. Then when it drilled through the clouds, it would see a fleet flying over the mountains above the sea of clouds.

The sea of clouds was dazzling with sunlight. The metal shell of the flying ship refracted sunlight, and golden rays of light flashed across the heavens and earth. The fleet consisted of one battleship and twenty high-speed warships. The battleships were in the middle of the line, and the other battleships lined up left and right, leaving behind a herringbone shadow in the Cloud Sea. It was extremely spectacular. Whether it was a battleship or a battleship, there was the symbol of a golden lion on its body.

At this moment, in the command room of the battleship, Capulo stood on the bridge, holding the railing in his hand as he looked at the central screen in front of him. On the screen, there was a picture of the peak of cloud insertion, which was the destination of the operation. Capullo raised his hand and stroked his beard. "Light Concealment Society is indeed an extraordinary organization. Who would have thought that a base marked as damaged by the Federation would be their home. Hey, how long before we get there?"

Adjutant Seville wasn't with him this time, so the Golden Lion sent an excellent officer to serve as Capulet's adjutant in the garrison on Earth. The adjutant was still very young. He looked at the Marshal with admiration in his eyes. He stood upright and answered nervously, "There are still ten minutes left, Marshal. However, if you need it, we can shorten the time by half."

"No, just go ahead at this speed." Capulo shook his head.

The young officer opened his mouth with a hesitant expression. Although Capullo did not look at him seriously, he seemed to know what was on his mind and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hesitate in front of me."

"Yes, Marshal!" The officer shouted, "I don't think the plan of action is perfect."

"Oh, interesting. What do you think is wrong with my plan? Tell me." Capulo encouraged.

The young officer nodded and said excitedly, "I think the rest of the process is perfect, but Marshal seems to have missed one of the exits when it came to attacking the other party's escape route. Of course, maybe Marshal did it on purpose, but as an adjutant, I think it's necessary to remind you."

Capullo laughed and finally looked at the young man. "I was wondering when you would bring it up, you know?" "If you don't dare to mention this plan because I made it, and you clearly feel that it's inappropriate, but you insist on my identity, then you can pack your luggage and go home after this operation, because there's no need for such a person in the Golden Lion."

"It's different now. You still dare to question it. This is a very important quality for an adjutant. If you follow your boss too blindly, there's no need to set up an adjutant position." Capullo nodded and said, "You're right. I deliberately missed an exit on the path to the doomsday bunker to see which big fish would emerge from that gap."

The officer did not quite understand Capulo's intentions, but he did not ask further. On the contrary, he was very excited. Capulo had said these words to him here today. After returning, he had to have his boss look at him differently. This was of great significance to his future.

In Doomsday Bunker, Vincent and the others were sitting on sofa covers. In the middle of them was a crystal table with wine bottles on it. The three of them had a goblet in their hands, and there was already wine in it. J smelled the wine and said, "Isn't K too sensitive? Even if A wasn't killed by the Union Army, it definitely has something to do with Alan."

"Alan has a 90% chance of being the mastermind behind this, but even so, we can't ignore the methods he used." Vincent shook his glass and watched the amber liquid ripple in it, blurring his face. He said: "K has an inside track in the Union Army. If Alan mobilizes his troops to deal with A. That's what he's worried about. If Alan has other methods to deal with A. That means he has a trump card that we don't know."

"K went to investigate to find out Alan's trump card." The woman with the code name Q said, "If we can't figure out his trump card and act rashly, I'm afraid we'll lose badly."

"I think all of you are overthinking this. There's no need for you to come to Doomsday Castle on purpose." "Let me go to Babylon and get rid of the fake president," J sneered. "Didn't we also prepare other substitutes to replace Alan? But this time, we can't let these substitutes make their own decisions. We need to increase our control over them, Vincent."

Vincent nodded.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the hall, and the faces of the three changed. Vincent calmly pressed a light button on the table and asked, "What happened?"

A small screen opened on the table. Inside was an officer from Light Concealment Society. He said in a low voice, "Sir, we found a confederate fleet flying in our direction. It will soon reach the sky above the bunker."

"Could it be a normal patrol team?" Vincent frowned.

The officer shook his head. "I hope so too, but if this fleet doesn't change its course, it will definitely pass through the bunker, and the route will be as precise as if it is coming for us. Most importantly, it is the Golden Lion's fleet. The Golden Lion never takes part in air patrols on the surface."

"Activate the first level alert. We will immediately arrive at the command center." Vincent closed the screen, flicked his fingers, and typed a set of commands on the light key. A moment later, the area they were in, along with the sofa and table, sank to the ground. After stopping, the three of them arrived at the command center of the bunker. Vincent stood up and led the other two to the command platform.

Looking down, on the large screen of the command center, the majestic appearance of the Golden Lion Squadron was reflected. Vincent's last hope was shattered when he saw a shield appear on each of the flying ships. The other party was already prepared for battle and was definitely heading for Doomsday Bunker.

"How could this be? How could the Federation know about the Doomsday Castle? And when we came to the castle, the Federation's army came, and it was the Golden Lion!" J shouted loudly.

"Someone here betrayed the organization." Vincent said with an ugly expression.

'"Could it be K?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. Only he didn't come." J gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me see him again, or I'll kill him!"

Vincent frowned and suddenly said, "It might not be K. There's something I need to confirm. Please tell us our identity code." After he finished speaking, he took out a tablet brain, opened the interface of a system, and entered a set of codes. As soon as the screen changed, Vincent's portrait and other details appeared on the screen.

"Every senior member gets a set of identification codes when they join to identify each other under special circumstances. Only we know this set of codes. In other words …" Vincent raised his head and looked at the two of them. "If it was a substitute or something, they probably wouldn't know this set of codes, right?"

"I don't have the habit of using a substitute." J said, then typed in the code on the screen and verified that it was correct.

When they looked at Q, the woman's complexion turned extremely bad. She took a few steps back and screamed, "No, no, it's not me. I didn't know the Federation was going to attack this place. Miss Weiner only asked me to take her place at the rally, but she didn't mention that the Federation would attack the bunker."

J narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, a flash appeared behind the woman. He grabbed his opponent's neck and his eyes turned cold. "Don't kill her," Vincent shouted. "It should be just like she said. Vina only called her to die to calm us down. It seems that Vinna and Alan are already in love. Otherwise, how would Alan know the location of the Doomsday Guardian?"

"Sir, please give the order." The supervisor in charge of bunker security walked onto the platform and shouted.

Vincent looked at the screen. In the screen, the cannon of the Federation airship had already emitted a charged light. He sighed and said, "Full counterattack. I authorize the use of all weapons systems in the bunker, including the Doomsday Cannon."

The security supervisor nodded. A moment later, the mountain peak where the bunker was located began to shake. Under the control of the system, the high-energy turrets hidden in the mountains removed their camouflage and aimed their jet-black barrels at the Federation fleet in the distant sky. On the ground, one missile well after another opened, and the missiles inside were ready. Following that, behind the mountain peak, a rock wall slid to both sides, and countless rocks rolled down. An armored runway extended out from the mountain, pointing towards the void. Individual warships flew out of the mountains. These warships were much smaller than high-speed warships, but their numbers were more than half that of Federation warships. All small warships were arranged in battle formations in front of the mountains. In the end, the top of the mountain split in the middle. Two armor plates disguised as rock walls opened to the left and right, and a pitch-black main cannon platform extended from the inside. A black-gold cannon barrel extended out from the center of the turret. The cannon barrel and even the bright red lines on the turret lit up one by one, and a terrifying pressure enveloped this mountain area.

That's Light Concealment Society's biggest lethal weapon, the Doomsday Cannon!

In the command center of the battleship, Capullo looked at Light Concealment Society's formation on the screen. Marshal smiled and said, "As expected of an organization that dares to challenge the Federation, it has some strength. You must be careful that the other party's main cannon does not look like it is bluffing. Speaking of which, has our Archangel Cannon application passed?"

The adjutant at the side looked at the information in his mind and nodded. "Authorization has been granted, Marshal. Currently, we have locked onto Doomsday Castle. We are only waiting for your order to complete the attack within ten seconds."

"Mm, let's begin the battle then."

After this order was given, apart from the battleships, the other battleships scattered and flew in the direction of Doomsday Bunker. The Federation Squadron moved, and the flying ship headed towards the bunker. Before the flying ship arrived, many weapons platforms on the mountains and on the surface had already opened fire. Light flickered from the cannons in the mountains. Crimson high-energy beams immediately tore through the air, and with precise trajectories, they flew through the flying ships and bombarded the Federation's warships.

As soon as the turret opened fire, the bunker fleet immediately rose into the air. Ten of them left the main team and rushed towards the battleship where Capulo was.

The Federation warships also launched a counterattack. The shields on the warships continued to absorb the fire from the enemy's turrets as they launched fierce attacks towards the mountains. The high-energy cannons on the ship shot out a beam of blue light, and the shockwave missiles on board were thrown into the bunker's surface missile well. The bunker simultaneously fired missiles to intercept and counterattack, while the single-man airship nimbly circled the Federation warship to launch harassment attacks.

For a moment, this quiet mountain area was filled with deafening gunfire. Red and blue beams of light flew like rain, constantly colliding in mid-air, while missiles on both sides created fireballs in mid-air. The sky was dyed red by the flames of war, making one suspect that dusk had arrived early. While the battle was raging in the sky, Capulo appeared on the armored platform of the battleship. He held the Magic Sniper Spear in his hand. Raising his head, he saw that more than half of the ten bunker airships had been shot down, and the remaining few were still struggling to the death.

Capulo smiled and looked at the mountain peak where the bunker was. His gaze landed on the pitch-black main cannon turret. "It's about time, isn't it?" He whispered.

As soon as he finished his sentence, the light in the sky began to dim. In fact, the light in space did not change at all. However, the increasingly dense ball of bright red light around the Doomsday Cannon illuminated the cannon body, dyeing the mountains, occupying the space and becoming the focus of everyone's vision. Only then did it produce a strong visual contrast. The sky gradually darkened, and only the red light at the muzzle of the Doomsday Cannon grew brighter and brighter. Capulo didn't even need to sense it carefully to know that the ball of red light was filled with violent energy.

After all the lines on the main cannon lit up, the entire world suddenly quieted down. When Capullo heard the sighing sound of the cannon, he saw the red light explode, and a bright red pillar of light shot out from it like a torrent! The pillar of light pierced through the sky and slanted in the direction of the battleship. Wherever it passed, space distorted. The images in the surroundings stretched towards where the pillar of light was, and at the same time, a series of crackling sounds echoed.

The flying ship located near the pillar of light lost control of itself and involuntarily floated towards the pillar of light. As long as they lightly touched the surface of the pillar of light, the flying ships would explode, turning into countless fireballs dotted with destructive light.

The moment the Doomsday Cannon opened fire, Capullo took a deep breath and didn't stop. He raised his chest and strands of golden light shot out from under his skin. Seeing that the destructive light was about to arrive, Capulo exhaled. His feet pressed down heavily, and the entire battleship sank under his pressure. The armor on the ship let out a series of groans.

The battleship sank and Capulo rose. He held Jue Yin in one hand and drew a circle in front of him with the other. A small golden disc appeared in front of Capullo's palm, but when the bright red torrent struck, the disc suddenly expanded, forming a thousand-meter-diameter Origin Energy Shield! The pillars of light collided with the shield, sending out countless energy jets. The sky was like a rain of light, and golden and red jets descended from the sky. When they landed on the ground, after a moment of delay, fireballs bloomed in the mountains and forests.

In an instant, dozens of square kilometers of land were engulfed by flames. Rocks exploded, trees fell, animals fled, and the earth appeared like the end of the world. Looking at the sky, under the deflection of Capulet's shield, the angle of the Doomsday Cannon's beam began to change. In the bunker command center, Vincent and the others watched as the pillar of light on the screen finally refracted at an angle of 30 degrees and shot into the sky, triggering a violent explosion outside the clouds.

'"Monster" Vincent's face was bitter. "Although it was a trick to change the angle of the Doomsday Cannon with a fulcrum, how many people could do it? Using abyss crystals for energy supply, the Doomsday Cannon could even cause space to collapse. To think that Capullo would be able to block it in such a way …"

J shook his head and said, "Maybe we should consider evacuating."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crazy alarm sounded in the command center. The security supervisor looked at a screen and screamed, "A high-intensity energy response has appeared above the base. It will come into contact with the base in three seconds. All shields will be activated, and the energy will be raised to the highest level. Prepare to resist the impact!"

When the lights in the command center went out and the red warning lights lit up, the entire ground suddenly shook violently. The metal dome twisted and cracked, and one could see that the cables in the sandwich were crushed and sprayed with electric fire!
