Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1294: Uneasy

"That's a good idea, really." "But you probably don't know," said Luci with a smile. "I don't like to be used, especially when it comes to borrowing a knife to kill people, even if our goal is close. To be honest, it makes me very unhappy."

Yaya twirled her sickles and the corners of her mouth curved into an arc, "I think you can think about it carefully. After all, it's not a disadvantage for you. Besides, we can do something about it. You've probably seen my lovely children before. I can tell you, I still have a lot of treasures like that."

"You don't actually have a better choice, do you? Believe me, fighting against us is much worse than working with us. Do you think you can beat us?" Blue Devil said.

Luci spread out his hands and said, "Nothing is absolute. If necessary, I can try."

"That's unwise. Even if you can defeat us, there are still two more powerful companions. If necessary, I can call them over." Blue Devil slightly increased the threat: "Besides, I don't think you can escape with me and Yami."

"Is this a threat?" Luci put away his smile and said, "Who are you and why are you so interested in that human?"

"What is interested is not us, but our master." Blue Devil pointed at the curtain of time in the sky. "She has already sealed off the Forgotten Realm. Even if you can leave this place, you will not be able to leave the Forgotten Realm. Unless this hunting binge ends, the Forgotten Realm is a place that can only be accessed and not exited."

"Your master?" Luci's pupils constricted. "The legendary her? That woman!"

"Rude fellow!" Yami shouted, "You should respectfully address her as an adult. What she is, what woman is not allowed to scream!"

Luci thought like lightning.

These two people in front of him were powerful. Even if they were to be thrown on the great wasteland, they were still the overlords of one side. Of course, two experts like them would not casually appear. Therefore, it was not impossible to say that they were subordinates of the legendary woman. In other words, only the woman described in Roddy's Book could make such an expert serve him wholeheartedly. Luci had also read Roddy's book, and it was the first manuscript. The book was kept by the pickup truck and may have been destroyed or fallen into the hands of other people.

According to the description in Roddy's book and some information that Luci had collected, he could roughly tell that the woman described in the book had the power of a Paragon or was close to a Paragon. Regardless of which possibility it was, it all showed how terrifying that woman was.

The problem now was that the two of them were both subordinates of the woman and represented her will. If you disobey …

"Alright, I'll make this deal with you." Luci immediately changed his mind, "But I still have one condition. After killing that human, I want to meet with your lord."

"Meet your Excellency?" Yami and Blue Devil exchanged glances.

Blue Devil said in a deep voice, "You want to become an adult general? Well, in terms of strength, you do have the qualifications …"

"No matter what, I want to see that lord. Becoming her general isn't a bad thing, and I think she might need an agent on the great wasteland?"

"General or agent, that's up to your excellency. We can only agree to arrange a meeting with her. As for whether she can see you, that's another matter."

"Deal." Luci had already constructed a blueprint for the future in his mind, killing that human named Allen and gaining the woman's recognition and support. When he returned to the wasteland, it would be the day when the Bone King and the Berserkers would scram. At that time, with the support of the Lord of the Forgotten Realm and the relationship with the benefits of the Demon Movie Emperor Kingdom, the Great Wasteland would become his possession.

He would be the master of the wasteland, something that had not happened since the formation of the great wasteland.

And all of this was within reach!

Luci was scheming as he wished, and the two of them were the same. They had a better understanding of Allen's strength than Luci. Although he had never felt Allen's power directly, he knew from the fact that Allen was able to surpass their master's spiritual kingdom with his own will that this human's strength would not be inferior to theirs, or even stronger. If that was the case, even if Luci could not kill Alan, he could at least use up some of his strength. At that time, they would be much more confident in taking action.

Both sides had their own schemes and had temporarily formed an alliance under their common goal. However, everyone on both sides knew that this alliance was too fragile to withstand a single twist and turn.

As an alliance, Luci and Blue Devil could at least be considered to be collaborative on the surface. However, to the Earth Federation and the nobles, they had already tore their skin apart, so they were almost ready to take action. After Alan issued an evacuation order for the nobles in the name of the president, the relationship between the two sides became worse and worse. The wealthy families and several large clans rejected the order and dismissed it as nonsense. Back then, the nobles had spent a lot of manpower and resources to complete the construction of Babylon's floating island. At least half of the contribution of this city was made by them. The nobles had captured this point and insisted that if the Federation wanted them to leave, they would have to pay them the corresponding compensation.

After many days and nights, dozens of economists calculated that the result was an astronomical figure. If the Federation took out this compensation, it would have almost emptied the foundation of the federal government, so the federal side naturally would not agree to it.

As a result, there were continuous negotiations, and the evacuation order was naturally delayed for an indefinite period of time. In fact, both the nobles and the Federation knew that it was unrealistic to execute this evacuation order in a short period of time. Even Alan, who had initiated this evacuation order, knew from the very beginning that this was not easy to achieve. He did not expect that it would come true. All Alan wanted was to create pressure on the nobles, so that he could win more advantages in the negotiations that followed.

However, after the invasion of his residence, he began to feel that the advantage he had gained through various means was slipping away. The fundamental reason was that he was not the real Mobbit. Once his identity was exposed, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Now, he was certain that Windsor Belo had stolen the top-secret information. Through his spies buried in the nobles, he knew that some of the information was currently in Beskard's hands. What he didn't know was how much information the other party had dug out.

Every day, the situation gets worse. To Alan's annoyance, he sent Capulo to the interstellar line to recall Windsor Belo, but there was no news from Marshal. He couldn't sit still any longer. As soon as he arrived at the Federal Intelligence Service today, he had Garfield contact Capulo. Before he could wait too long, Capulo's figure appeared on the projection wall. Old Marshal smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. President."

"I don't feel too good, Marshal Capulo." Alan leaned forward slightly and said, "Please tell me why I haven't seen Marshal Windsor Belo until today. I don't think it will take so much time to recall Marshal Greed. Marshal Capulo, please give me a clear explanation!"

Capulo seemed to know that Alan would reproach him like this, and his expression didn't even change at all, which made Alan even more angry. "Mr. President," he said, "I have conveyed your orders to Marshal Greed. Windsor Belo also said she would be heading to Earth to meet you, but because of the Nelm attack, she couldn't just leave. In this regard, I believe that as a Marshal, a commander-in-chief of the frontline corps. It is not wrong for Windsor Belo to leave after arranging everything. Please understand, Mr. President, that frontline affairs are not ordinary. Even I cannot do better than Windsor Belo. "

Alan cursed and farted. In the past, when Windsor Belo returned to Earth to give her report, she had never seen her spend so much time arranging front-line affairs. Suddenly, things got busy. What the hell was Capullo not able to see through this obvious plan of procrastination? Alan didn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. Now that Capullo was acting with Windsor Belo, the old lion must be thinking of something.

As a result, today's negotiation was over. After the communication ended, Alan's expression became extremely gloomy. At this time, a message popped up on the brain screen on the table. Alan looked at it and his gloomy expression finally eased a little.

"I'm here …" Alan muttered, "I can finally make it."

He chuckled softly.

On the tarmac of the Statue of Liberty Harbor, there were a few flying cars parked at one side. In front of the flying car stood a man in a black suit and sunglasses with a federal badge on his chest, preventing people from coming and going on the aerodrome.

At this moment, a shadow shrouded their skies. A transport airship slowly descended. The airship also had the Federation logo on it. After the flying ship was parked, the rear cabin door opened and the deck descended. Then, a truck drove down from inside. The truck was marked with dangerous goods. After the truck left the flying ship, the men in black suits got into the truck one after another and drove around the truck to escort the truck out of the harbor.

In a flying car, a man reported on a private channel, "Mr. President, we have received something and are moving to the place you pointed to."

"Very well, don't open the truck carriage until I arrive."

"Understood."

After leaving Statue of Liberty Harbor, the convoy passed through Dawn Square and finally arrived at a military warehouse that was no longer in use. After entering the warehouse, the truck driver left the warehouse after completing the handover procedures. The men in black then closed the warehouse door and waited for the president to arrive.

One of them couldn't help but say, "What exactly is inside? I want Mr. President to be so cautious."

"Who knows? Anyway, it's none of our business. Just do your job properly." The colleague beside him said.

At this time, the truck carriage suddenly gave a "bang" sound. The armor on the outside of the carriage actually bulged, looking like a fist.
