Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 658: Wild Lion

Capulo, the Berserk Lion, was a name that no one in the Union Army knew. The founder of the Ace Legion Golden Lion, a veteran expert who had been famous for decades, Capulo's name and portrait appeared in every recruit manual. He was a living legend that inspired millions of federal soldiers to move forward. Long before Windsor Belo was born, Capulo was considered the number one warrior in the Federation.

Forty years ago, the Federation launched the "Nirvana" program, officially attacking the seven great races of the Yordon Star System, not just the role of building an interstellar defense line. It was a time when stars were shining. At that time, heroic actions like Horn's, who used the power of the clan to break into the blade lair, appeared. For Capulo and the Golden Lion, that was their era of brilliance.

The golden lion, led by Capulo and led by thirteen generals, attacked Omiska, where the Kidds were. On the planet known as Mechanical Star, the Golden Lion built bases for advancement, and the territory of Omega became the territory of the Federation. Capulo even severely injured the platinum saffre in a battle, leaving the Kidd leader silent for decades.

At that time, the sharpness of the golden lion had always been the same. It wasn't until Spenak, one of the two Sovereigns known as the Demon King, interfered with the battle of Omiska on the planet known as Agares, which was considered to be the origin of the chaos, that the Golden Lion's success was ruined. Spenak personally took action and fought Capulo at the mechanical core of Omiska.

It was a war that no one knew about, and even the closest generals around Capullo had no chance of witnessing it. All he knew was that the battle lasted for three days and nights. After that, Capulo returned to the base and ordered everyone to evacuate. The order was strongly opposed by the federal president at the time, but Capullo withdrew under pressure, abandoning the good situation at Omega.

What was puzzling was that when the golden lion retreated, Sbernak did not interfere, and even the Kidds did not move at all. With a relatively peaceful ending, the war on this Mechanical Star ended imperfectly. After that, Capulo retired for ten years. Some people guessed that he had suffered serious injuries in the final battle with Spenak, but no one knew what the truth was.

Capulo's retreat had also brought about a series of changes in the situation within the Federation Army. At that time, the new and old forces in the military had already begun to split up and clash. They were only affected by Capulo's might, and had not erupted. After the Battle of Omiska, the withdrawal of the Golden Lion caused the Invincible Legion's reputation to plummet. In addition, Capulo's disregard for the internal affairs of the military caused its influence to rapidly shrink. As a result, the contradictions that had been suppressed finally erupted, forming the old and new parties.

After hibernating for ten years, Capulo finally appeared in front of everyone again. However, at this time, the Wild Lion was no longer as glorious as before. The Golden Lion was also nicknamed the "sick cat". During the decline of this legion, Windsor Belo emerged as a supernova, replacing Capulo as the new hero idol of the Federation. In the end, the Sirius Legion and the Golden Lion split the world equally.

However, how could Windsor Belo be able to completely sweep away Capulo's accumulated might? As the new party gained the upper hand, and after decades of silence, Capullo finally expressed his full support for the old party, the legend and merits of the old lion were remembered. Right now, Capulo's old subordinate was almost exclusively Russen, and Russen had long since turned from a major general of the Golden Lion into a general in charge of controlling the spread of death.

As for the other generals, they either died in battle or were retired. Currently, there were only ten generals among the golden lions, and the oldest of them was only forty. They were not destined for the golden age of the legion. But Capulo convinced the generals that the new legend of the Golden Lion would be written by them personally. The preface to the legend began in the Garden of Eden!

Catherine had long heard of Capulet's fame and was familiar with his appearance. But when she saw him with her own eyes, she felt that it was far from the portrait in the manual. Capulo was in his prime in the recruit manual, and his wild blonde hair was impressive. That sharp face and domineering gaze made all the new recruits firmly remember the appearance of this legendary marshal.

However, what appeared behind Russen was only an old man.

The brilliant blonde hair of his youth was now as pale as silver. The relaxed muscles on his face made Capulet covered in wrinkles. Whether it was his swollen eyelids or the bloodline between his eyes, it made the marshal look very tired. Even the beard that countless young people had tried to imitate was now mixed with strands of silver frost. The only thing that didn't change was that the soldier's posture was still domineering.

Capulo was dressed in the uniform of a golden lion, and the stars on his shoulders reflected the lights of the meeting room. However, the legendary figure who had once shone with boundless brilliance was now standing under the light with a hint of bleakness. Time had not only stolen his youth, but had also wiped out his strong determination and edges. Katherine couldn't help but have a complicated expression in her eyes. Now that she saw Capulet with her own eyes, she was almost certain that she had suffered serious injuries during the battle with Spenak, and that her injuries had yet to fully recover.

Otherwise, with Capulo's strength, how could he not keep his youth? Just like Russen, he could maintain his middle-aged appearance as long as he wished. But even though Russen did not deliberately maintain his appearance, his body was still in its prime. Every muscle of his was filled with explosive power, and it would never give off the feeling of relaxation that Capulo did.

The marshal was old.

This was probably the first thought the generals of the other legions had when they saw Capulet, except for the golden lion.

Capullo looked at the generals and laughed, "I guess you'll be wondering who that old thing is. Is it Capullo? Oh my God, what kind of wild lion is that? It's clearly a sick cat."

After saying that, he laughed. It seemed that he didn't care about what was happening now. In the meeting room, there was only Capulo's own laughter, and even Russen was silent, even a little distracted. Capullo laughed until tears flowed out of his eyes. After a while, he stopped laughing and said, "That's right, the one standing in front of you is indeed a terrible old man." But if it wasn't for this terrible old man, the golden lion wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed in the Omega Battle back then. Even the Nirvana Plan would be destroyed by that Paragon. No one knows what price I paid to get Sbernack to return to Agares instead of interfering with the rest of the Federation's battlefield. "

Capullo's voice grew louder and louder, "But no one knows what I've done, even because the golden lion grew bigger and bigger, and I disobeyed the orders of the federal president." The president made a fuss about the golden lion's retreat and forced me out of the army for ten years before he lost his reputation. But that's a thing of the past. Now, I'm back. And people should hear the roar of the lion again. I want to tell those little ghosts who is the king of the army! "

The old marshal's gaze landed on the two Rose Empress generals intentionally or unintentionally. The two generals only had bitter faces and endured the invisible pressure in Capulo's gaze. Capulo snorted and said, "Go back and tell the Westerners that the golden lion is not cheap enough to need a little girl to help." Besides, I already have Russen. General, we have enough troops. "Let your general do his job. Don't try to interfere in things beyond her ability. It will be better for her and the Weaselke family."

One of Queen Rose's older generals raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Marshal Capullo, this is a transfer order authorized by President Morbit. If we are allowed to leave, I'm afraid …"

"It doesn't matter. Your Excellency the President naturally has me on his side. I won't let you, the Rose Empress, be blamed for anything. Then, can you leave now?"

The two generals looked at each other, and the other couldn't help but say, "Marshal, we …"

Capullo interrupted him forcefully, "I don't want to say it again!"

Seeing his persistence, the two generals could only helplessly shake their heads and leave the meeting room. After they left, Capullo's expression eased and he even smiled, "Alright, let's talk about it now. There are no outsiders here."

He looked at Russen and smiled as he stood to the side. Russen stepped forward and took his place. He said to the generals below, "Judging from the information our intelligence system has, the Gato-Grai alliance this time is not just for the Garden of Eden." Even though the chaotic coalition forces have been battling the Adahua Planet in the Garden of Eden, our Union army and the clan's private forces will soon be on the battlefield. But what we need to pay attention to is not only this war, but also the real intentions behind it. "

"We already have evidence that there are other chaotic races behind the Catus and Grais." Russen snapped his fingers and the lights in the conference room suddenly dimmed. The holographic projection device quickly drew an image in the air.

In this image, a starship's hull appears behind a light brown planet in outer space. Russen enlarged the image. Everyone could see that it was a pitch-black starship. Although only half of it was revealed, the simple hull and the golden lines flashing above indicated that it was not a starship used by the Catus.

"This is?" A general asked with a frown.

"Agares' starship should belong to one of the two Paragons of the Chaos Star, the emperor named Frius." Russen said in a low voice, "As you can see, the Barbarians have interfered with the strongest race in the Yordon Domain." Although we don't know if another Paragon Sbernak is involved, even if there is only one Paragon, it is enough to give us a headache. Additionally, Marshal and I are very curious. The Barbarians are famous for not getting up early without profit. Felius would never have planned this invasion without reason, so what exactly was the emperor plotting? "

"What's certain is that it definitely won't be a mere Garden of Eden!"
