Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 716: Support Point

Alan looked out of the porthole again. Countless black dots were moving up and down, or flying in circles, in a burning fire cloud far away from the porthole. It was a battlefield where the enemy and our squadrons clashed. The origin weapons of different attributes on both sides continued to open fire, causing shocks and explosions to create fireballs one after another. Occasionally, one or two dark lines would flash across the battlefield. That was the might of a battleship's quantum cannon.

The battle was blazing, but it had nothing to do with Alan.

The aerial battlefield supported by the accompanying battleships, the scattered rapid frigates, and the known as the "Raptor" battleships formed the main force, engaging in fierce battles against the invading chaotic races. Meanwhile, the Hunting Group starships and the Federation warships left the battlefield and split up at high altitudes, heading towards different coordinates.

On the left and right of the Dawn were the starships of the Black Knights, the Silver Heavenly Horses, the Red Warriors, the Judges, and Reese's team. These starships were located in the middle of the fleet, surrounded by fast warships. In front of the fleet was Russen's ship, Yan Mo. The pitch-black starship was surrounded by long and short barrels. The barrels were shaped like sharp cones and looked like the bone spurs of a giant beast.

The cannon's body was covered in dark red lines, and the shape of the ship's hull was designed to be an abstract beast shape. From afar, it was like a flying exotic beast gliding in the atmosphere. The lines on the ship's body flickered brightly, to the point that it was like the breathing of a giant beast.

There were only four generals like Yan Mo in the Federation, each serving as a mount for the four generals. As for Capulo and Windsor Belo, they had special warships. Their performance was above that of ordinary starships. Whether it was speed or firepower, they were not comparable to ordinary battleships. Only Yan Mo's ship, if it was fully powered, would be equivalent to the strength of a complete squadron of battleships.

Allen's fleet had the highest safety factor. Unless they were ambushed by the Dark Titan Cluster, they would not be able to threaten this fleet.

The fleet quickly moved away from the battlefield in the air, and beneath it was the boundless ocean. Countless islands appeared in the starship's portholes and quickly retreated back. Occasionally, huge shadows would appear on the surface of the sea, followed by a row of sparkling bone spikes. Large patches of green algae or seaweed would hang on the mountain-sized crystal spikes. As for the enormous creature in the sea, it was no different from an island just by the part where it emerged from the surface of the sea. Heaven knows how earth-shattering this item will be.

However, just the huge aura emanating from the sea was enough to make people feel both reverence and awe.

Alan had seen Mother Earth on Frost Planet before. However, in the Garden of Eden, there was more than one giant beast like this. The vast ocean and the endless sky had given birth to countless lives!

Finally, the ocean receded and land appeared on the horizon. In the blink of an eye, the sea was replaced by forests. Looking at the boundless forest sea, cyan, blue, red, and purple colors became magnificent patches that embellished the planet. The passage of the fleet startled a flock of birds in the forest. They are like winged lizards, but they have long mouths like anteaters. These exotic beasts had bat-like fleshly wings, reflecting alternating red and blue light in the sunlight.

A large group of exotic beasts flew past, then split into several groups and dispersed. In the end, they disappeared into pieces, disappearing into this vast primeval forest.

Before the people on the starship could recover from the shock of this magnificent scene, a new world entered their eyes. Even the knowledgeable Lucy could not help but cover her mouth and exclaim softly. She looked at Alan with excitement and joy in her eyes. Alan smiled back and looked forward. He looked at the new world through the starship's porthole and saw the beautiful scenery that he would never forget in his life.

After the forest, the hall suddenly opened. Behind the mountains, there was an endless purple plain. Above it was a blue sky. The clouds and mist wrapped around the peaks on the horizon were like pillars of heaven. Their snow-capped peaks almost touched the sky. This world, which was so beautiful that one could not breathe, was currently bathed in the brilliant sunlight.

The earth stretched in front of the fleet until it reached the dense northern snowy region. The mountains protected this beautiful country like the Immortal Dimension, and the fertile soil was pouring down tens of thousands of times. Wide and gentle rivers dot the earth like silver chains, and mirrored lakes of all sizes are natural reservoirs. Occasionally, there would be waterfalls flowing down from the mountain range, shining brightly in the sunlight, like shining silver ribbons, forming a sharp contrast with the dark mountain rocks.

This was where the Twilight Continent had picturesque scenery and rich resources. However, as the fleet advanced towards the north, those gemstone-like lakes, mountains as majestic as silver spears, and grasslands that looked like purple silk gradually disappeared. The scenery gradually grew from abundance to emptiness, from flowers to desolation.

The earth gradually turned into a monotonous color. The dark red color was like blood pouring into the soil, dyeing the earth into dark red spots. When he saw this dark red land, it meant that the Scarlet Flame Highlands had arrived. The terrain of the highlands was low in the south and high in the north, and the terrain gradually rose. This place was vast, desolate, and had little vegetation. Even a few sparse mountain peaks were surprisingly low.

Only three pillars of fire protruded from the horizon, pointing straight into the sky like the tip of a trident. Dense black smoke rose from the volcano crater. The smoke column didn't gradually disperse into a dark cloud that covered hundreds of kilometers until it was ten thousand meters high in the sky. Right in front of the three volcanoes, Alan saw the destination of the trip.

Blood Gate Stronghold!

Even from a distance, Alan could still see the metal armor of the stronghold shining in the sunlight. This was a fortress made of steel. When they saw it, no one believed that the fortress would fall one day. However, the other strongholds gave off the same feeling, but one of the strongholds that would never fall was already under the control of the enemy.

But no matter what, everyone who saw the Blood Gate Stronghold for the first time couldn't help but be taken aback by the imposing aura cast by its flames and steel.

Alan was no exception.

By the time the fleet had passed more than half of the high ground, the Blood Gate Stronghold was already clear. Standing on the ground was an armored guard wall that was fifty meters tall. A defensive wall made entirely of regular tactical armor might not be able to penetrate even if it was bombarded by high-energy cannons for a day or night. Not to mention, the heavy artillery in the fortress was not a decoration on the ice-cold and high defensive wall.

Behind the defensive wall, the three battle castles were important nodes supporting the defensive line of the stronghold. The battle castle that gathered firepower to suppress and cover the defenses was like three giant beasts hiding in the stronghold, glaring angrily at the invading enemies. The central fortress was a circular enclosed structure, consisting of about two kilometers of barracks. During this period, there were five hundred firepower turrets and dozens of sharp sentry towers.

The buildings in the stronghold were connected to each other. When needed, as long as the passageways were cut off, they could become separate combat zones that could effectively divide the invading enemy troops. This huge fortress, which consisted of hundreds of buildings, was one of the important support points for the distribution of military power in the Federation-controlled area!
