Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 727: Dark Lightning

["Hi."

When he saw Roddy again, the man was sitting in front of the command building, biting a cigar in his mouth. The Tomahawk Poisonous Dragon was placed by his hand, in a position that he could touch at any time. Behind him was the sinking command building. The building had sunk at least two floors. It looked like the two basement floors were probably destroyed by the explosion, which was the result of the sinking of the building. The building tilted to the left, crushing the large battalion over there. The broken rocks pushed a thick circle on the ground.

Alan looked around and saw traces of explosions and flames everywhere. Occasionally, the hands and feet of humans or Catus could be seen in the pile of rubble, and there were quite a few people buried under the pile of stones. Behind Roddy, Fierce Vulture's soldiers were busy. They cut the tons of rocks, cleared the blocked passages, and carried the cut rubble to open the way for their colleagues in the building.

Gunshots and shouts could still be heard from inside the building, but the sounds were sparse. It was likely that the Fierce Vulture soldiers were cleaning up the enemy's remnants.

"Looks like you guys are miserable." Roddy took off his cigar and looked at Ellen's group.

Alan smiled bitterly. Their losses could only be described as painful. The red warriors had been wiped out, leaving only Guild Leader Norch, the electronics expert, and two warriors among the judges. The leader of the Silver Heavenly Horse, Fraser, had lost an arm. It was cut off by Karin's projection during the battle. It seemed that Fraser would have to change his appearance in the future. There were only eleven people who had returned alive. The others either died in the tunnel or died tragically under Karin's butcher knife.

The fiercest was the red warrior. After all, even Gu Bang had died on the spot.

"Uncle Roddy, is this a trap?" Alan found a clean place to sit.

Roddy had already called the field doctor to treat the wounds of the injured. "Obviously, there are no more than two hundred troops stationed here, and perhaps even fewer. However, the explosives planted in advance have caused us to suffer a huge loss. This isn't a trap. What's bad is that we can't get in touch with the stronghold now. It seems that the enemy has used some means to interfere with our communications."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Roddy looked at the building and said, "Get the guy out of there and go back to the stronghold."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball suddenly rose from a distance outside the base. It was like a dull thunderous explosion, causing everyone's hearts to sink when they heard it. Roddy suddenly bounced up. Just as he caught the poisonous dragon, another fireball rose up. His face was filled with anger. "Damn it, that direction is where our flying ship docks!"

"Hurry up and fly! Hurry up!"

Inside a transport airship, the pilots were busy starting up their engines and preparing to take off. In front of the flying ship, a figure was quickly pouncing over. It was a woman, to be exact, a Grai woman. This was the first time the crew on the flying ship had seen the female giant, but they had no time to admire her exquisite and beautiful appearance. After all, just a moment ago, this female giant suddenly destroyed two flying ships.

Karin had a spring-like smile on her face, but she didn't show any mercy when she attacked. The wheel saw in his hand flew out and ploughed through the bottom of the flying ship. When she caught the wheel saw again, the flying ship had already risen into the air, but sparks were constantly spurting out from the mecha torn apart by the wheel saw. After a few thick electric snakes jumped, flames flickered in the flying ship's hull and the entire flying ship exploded in the air.

A gigantic fireball rose from the ship's body. The gears, debris, machinery, and even the human body danced in midair, bringing along streams of fire as they fell to the ground. Karin smiled and leapt towards the last flying ship. The airship gave up on taking off. All of its defensive turrets fired at the same time. High-energy beams of light shot through the air, creating fireballs around Karin.

Karin covered her head and face as she charged out of the flames of the bombardment and forcefully kicked the ground. A mud wave immediately appeared on the ground, and Karin shot into the air, drawing a parabola and landing on the flying ship. The wheel saw swept across the circle in her hand, and the turrets continued to break apart. Finally, she jumped off the flying ship and threw out the wheel saw. The spinning saw wheel submerged into the rear engine and flew back to Karin's hand half-idle.

Catching the wheel saw, the engine of the flying ship flashed with a flash of fire and exploded!

The fire lit up Karin's face and she looked in the direction of the base. Roddy was rushing towards him with all his might, and Karin still had time to blow him a kiss, then turned around and ran away. A few steps later, a shadow appeared on her head, but it was her seat that had arrived. A beam of light descended from the beast-shaped starship and pulled Karin upwards. When Roddy arrived at the scene, the starship had already risen tens of thousands of meters into the sky, becoming a dot of light beneath the sky.

Looking at the shards of airships everywhere, Roddy shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

Very quickly, Alan, Regis, and the others also rushed over. Looking at the wreckage of these flying ships nearby, they looked at each other. Now that even the transportation tools had been destroyed, it could be considered a perfect end to this trap. It would take at least a day for them to return to the stronghold after losing their flying ship. Not to mention that there weren't so many flying cars. The few flying cars that sent Alan and the others couldn't even pull back a tenth of the Fierce Vultures.

From the looks of it, Karin's goal was to keep the Fierce Vulture here.

And her goal has been successfully achieved.

In another corner of Twilight Continent, there was a surge of energy. The seawater poured in from the mouth of Cold Wind Bay merged with the Robisi River in the interior, passing through the vast Zagu Basin and finally flowing into the Running Stream Canyon. This winding valley belt's terrain changed from high to low, causing the flowing water to surge. The endless torrents that surged all year round chased after it through countless corners of the gorge. They slammed into both sides of the ancient gorge, occasionally causing mountains and stones that could not withstand the erosion of the water to fall off into pieces. Just like that, the width of the Running Stream Canyon was getting longer year by year.

The Running Stream Stronghold was built in the middle of the canyon. This once prosperous and magnificent stronghold was now only a ruin. On the ruins of the stronghold, it was originally peaceful to ascend into the sky. Suddenly, a stream of fire spread for a thousand meters. It swept across the sky above the stronghold, breaking the calm of the canyon.

Fireballs began to appear in the sky. From time to time, black dots could be seen moving rapidly in the fireballs. Occasionally, black dots would rapidly expand, but they were flying ships that had been shot down. The exploding airship disintegrated in mid-air and tossed its still-burning body fragments into the torrent of the canyon like rain. Countless fragments were washed downstream by the torrent of the canyon, while the larger ones sank into the water and were slowly but firmly pushed forward by the current.

Fragments like rain.

The same scene appeared in Capulo's eyes. He was on the bridge, and in front of him were dozens of holographic screens switching between different corners of the aerial battlefield, allowing Capulo to control the entire battlefield. At this moment, the golden lion was launching a counterattack towards the Running Stream Stronghold. Fast warships formed combat formations, shuttling through the high-altitude battlefield. They were splitting up the enemy fleet and quickly and efficiently annihilating the enemy ships.

Occasionally, a faint pressure would appear in the sky, and the main quantum cannon of the battleship would rumble. Wherever the thousand-meter-long streak of light went, countless fireballs would bloom.

The golden lion was overwhelmingly dominating the battle, but Capullo didn't have a smile on his face.

The screen was filled with dense flames. In fact, an enemy ship was emitting thick smoke. Its tip was tilted and it was slowly sliding down. Capulo said in a low voice, "Have two combat formations attack the stronghold."

"Now?" His adjutant, Seville, a middle-aged man in his forties, revealed a puzzled expression. At present, the aerial battlefield hadn't reached the point where victory and defeat were completely decided. It seemed that it was too early to attack the stronghold. According to Capulo's previous style of command, he would definitely sweep away the miscellaneous soldiers before forcing his opponent's general to decide the outcome of the battle. If they attacked the stronghold too early, they would probably draw out the Prison Flame Giant who was guarding the stronghold. If the other party attacked the Golden Lion's fleet of airships recklessly, then even if they won this battle, the Golden Lion would suffer heavy losses.

"Right now." Capulo emphasized.

The adjutant could only relay the order.

A moment later, the two air formations left the battlefield and charged straight in the direction of the stronghold. Just as he was about to sweep across the ridge of Mecalene Mountain, a powerful aura rose from the depths of the stronghold. That might was filled with an astonishing sense of oppression. In an instant, it swept over a thousand meters and spread throughout the entire battlefield! Then, a black dot appeared in the middle of Mecalene Mountain. The black dot suddenly turned into a dark flame. A dark flame spread out and instantly enveloped the entire mountain range, forming a flame shield.

The flying ships in the air formation that were rushing too quickly collided with the protective shield. Strangely enough, there was no explosion, but the ship's hull quickly melted away, including the pilot inside. In less than a few seconds, they disappeared completely. The flying ship behind them desperately climbed up, able to scrape past the flame shield and escape a calamity.

Capulo smiled, "Alright, with this shield, that means the guy inside the stronghold is indeed Giant Tango."

The adjutant was not happy at all. The Prison Flame Giant Tango still had a nickname for Dark Lightning. The black Prison Flame he controlled was like a karmic fire from hell, able to completely burn matter from its molecular structure. With such a terrifying existence in charge, it would not be easy for the Golden Lion to win this war.

Even if there was a legend like Capullo here.

"If Tango isn't here, then Running Stream Stronghold is a trap. Seville, don't you think there are too few enemy ships? They only have one main ship!" '"But Tango is different. Even if this is a trap, killing Tango is more important than taking back the stronghold!" Kaprou's eyes turned cold, "But Tango is different. Even if this is a trap, killing Tango is more important than taking back the stronghold!"

"Go, get someone to prepare my Absolute Sound. It's been a long time since I've used it. It's time for it to see the light again."

The adjutant stood upright and said solemnly, "This subordinate will get ready immediately."
