Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 749: Triumph

Macquarie Hills.

The squadron that had been fighting intensely during the day had stopped fighting between us and the enemy. On the high-altitude battlefield, the two squadrons occupied one side, with Mecalene Mountain as the center, not invading each other's borders. Beneath the fleet, a valley that was still intact during the day was now in ruins. Black flames sprayed out endlessly from the ruins, and explosions sounded from inside.

A behemoth-like roar suddenly sounded from the mountain, but it sounded like a desperate end. At this moment, a huge black ball rose up. The huge fireball continued to expand. The edge of the fireball gradually darkened to the core. It was located at the center of the black hole-like core, and circles of dark red stripes appeared. These stripes slowly circulated like a vortex, seemingly slow, but in reality, the speed at the center of the fireball was astonishingly fast.

Every time these lines rotated, they released an astonishing amount of energy. If this energy was released, it would be equivalent to the power of hundreds of nuclear warheads exploding at the same time!

When the black fireball expanded to the extreme, its diameter had already reached an exaggerated twenty kilometers. At this time, its inner core was already in an unstable state, and numerous dark lines spread out radially in all directions. At this moment, the world was silent, and even everyone watching the fireball held their breath. It was as if he was afraid that if he breathed too much, he would detonate the fireball.

There were more and more dark red stripes at the core of the fireball. Finally, the core was dyed dark red. This dark red was still spreading, and the fireball began to shake. Every time it shook, it would definitely be a fatal shock to the mountains and the earth. On the ridge where many mountains had collapsed, every time the black ball shook, it would leave behind a huge crack that was one to two kilometers long and several hundred meters deep on their bodies! Crushed stones continuously flowed out from these cracks. However, the crushed stones that flowed out of the mountains did not fall to the ground. Instead, they were lifted up by an invisible force field. The entire Mecalene Mountain was filled with a pressure that was as powerful as a prison sea, as if heaven and earth were about to collapse!

Finally, a thunderbolt rang out in this silent world. The giant black balls that had completely crushed Mecalene Mountain began to shrink and expand violently. As the two movements continued to repeat, the dark red lines on the surface of the black ball became more and more numerous. Suddenly, one of the lines was covered in fine black lines, and it suddenly exploded, spitting out a wave of black flames! Black flames began to spray out of the sphere. After a burst of intense flickering at the core of the sphere, the black sphere completely exploded!

At this moment, golden pillars of light rose up around the black ball. These pillars of light were like fences that trapped the black ball in the middle. The black ball of light released black and red flames that were intertwined. The flames were like waves, constantly striking the pillars of light. These pillars of light were clearly destroyed, but they were exceptionally tough, preventing the fire waves from pouring out a single bit. The flames that could not be released flowed back towards the center, eventually spraying all of their energy into the air!

A dozen kilometers long and wide pillar of fire surged into the sky violently. The black and red flames released terrifying heat. Countless black lightning trembled at the edges of the pillar of fire like tree branches. The ground they slashed across even slightly distorted space. The pillar of fire rushed into the sky and made a loud noise. The explosion could be heard even thousands of kilometers away. The clouds above Mecalene Mountain were swept away by this energy. If one looked from outer space, one would see a bright light blossoming on this superplanet. The clouds that pervaded the surface of the planet were left with a circular blank!

The pillar of fire spat out for nearly a minute before the flames gradually lowered and dissipated, leaving behind a ferocious mushroom cloud that was thousands of meters tall and tens of kilometers wide! Lightning continued to shine from time to time in the mushroom cloud, illuminating the interior of the black cloud. Mecalene Mountain had completely become a thing of the past. More than one-third of the ground in the Running Stream Canyon had been shattered, and the torrent of the canyon had been diverted, sending countless debris flying out into the open sea!

When the explosion struck, airships on both sides of the fleet would occasionally burn and degenerate, exploding into fireballs in mid-air. The scorching metal fragments scattered into the pillars of clouds that could not be dispersed by the wind, turning into countless dots of light that were constantly fading away. Suddenly, a huge figure appeared within the constantly flickering cloud pillar. The giant's figure seemed to be struggling to leave. However, on the dense black figure, there was a frightening circular blank on its chest. The giant's figure finally swayed. A mournful howl sounded from the cloud pillar. It slowly fell down like a toppling mountain. Then, a muffled sound sounded from the cloud pillar.

The howl gradually faded and disappeared. Right at this moment, a dot of light lit up in the black cloud. The dot of light continued to grow and eventually turned into a golden pillar of light that rushed out of the black cloud. The beam of light traversed the night sky and the high-altitude battlefield before finally landing on the Golden Lion in a parabolic trajectory. The pillar of light landed on the armored platform of the ship. The light gradually disappeared like a bubble, and Kaprou walked out of the light with Jueyin in his hand.

When this scene appeared on the screens of all the Federation airships, a sky-shaking cheer sounded from the Federation fleet. While all the members of the Golden Lion were cheering for their marshal's triumphant return, the Catu fleet and the remaining Grai Giants quietly left the battlefield. Not long after, the troops on the Scarlet Flame Highlands began to withdraw.

In the counterattack at Meckarin Mountain, the Prison Flame Giant, Tango, died on the spot. At a time when the main force of the foreign alliance army was still locked in a stalemate with Adahua Planet's army on Silverwind Continent, the foreign army had no spare power to attack the Earth Federation on Twilight Continent. They withdrew quite straightforwardly. Not only did the army withdraw from the Scarlet Flame Highlands, they also continued to retreat. There was a tendency for them to withdraw directly from the Federation-controlled area.

This was the first news Alan had heard when he arrived at the Blood Gate Stronghold, and it was already dawn.

Dawn shone, and the Scarlet Flame Highlands were illuminated by the sun, giving hope to the people who had experienced a day and night of brutal battle. All the defensive areas that had experienced battles were now in the process of being cleaned up and repaired, and the Morsen Clan's C2 camp was no exception. Last night they were attacked again by the enemy's back tide, and even several barracks in the defensive area had been broken. The C2 camp was like a lonely island on the sea, and Adele and the family army could only defend it.

There were a few times when she thought that she couldn't hold on any longer. However, after experiencing the last powerful attack, the enemy troops suddenly retreated.

Everything was like a dream.

It wasn't until the soldiers cheered that she woke up from her dreams.

At dawn, she was cleaning up the battlefield with the soldiers when she heard a piece of news.

Alan was seriously injured!

Hearing the news, Adele could not sit still any longer and drove a tactical flying car to the stronghold alone. The stronghold was corroded by the flames of war, and everything was still in order. Adele went straight to the camp at the stronghold of Bescott, and when she was told that Allen had been sent to the field hospital at the stronghold, she turned around and went forward.

At last she saw Lucy in the hospital.

When Lucy saw her, her face was full of surprise, and before she could speak, Adele had caught her shoulders. '"How is he? I heard he's seriously injured? Is he serious? How is it? Aren't you all by his side? Why are you hurting him?" Adele said hurriedly.

She looked at Belmore and Regis, shrugging their shoulders helplessly. In the circumstances, even if they wanted to take Alan's place and get injured, they wouldn't have the time. Lucy, on the other hand, was calm. She patted Adele and said, "Don't be nervous. Ellen is in surgery. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Lucy stepped back a little and looked at Adele. After not seeing her for a while, this girl's temperament had undergone a subtle change. It was less immature than before, and more mature and capable after experiencing the flames of war. 'You've changed, Adele,' said Lucy sincerely.

Adele did not answer, but looked nervously at the operating room. At this time, the lights on the door of the operating room went out, and several doctors walked over from inside. Adele caught one of them and asked, "How is Alan?"

"The operation was a success. Mr. Allen's physique is already strong, and the nerves in his severed hand have not completely necrosed. We have reconnected him. With his recovery, he should be able to recover in at most a month." The doctor hurriedly said.

"Broken arm … So it's just …" Adele heaved a sigh of relief. If it was just four limbs amputated, it could be reattached. Moreover, Allen was no ordinary person. With Origin Energy nourishment, his injuries would heal faster than normal people.

Lucy walked over and smiled at Adele, "Let's go and see him together. He hasn't seen you for a long time, so he'll give him a surprise."

Adele pulled out her hand and lowered her head, "No, I have something else to do. You go in, I should go."

She turned around and ran, and Lucy couldn't stop her. When she saw Adele stop at the corner, the girl turned around and the sun shone on her side, she smiled and said, "Tell him not to do this again."

Only then did he leave.

A few minutes later, Alan was sent to the general ward. His broken hand was already connected, and a silver metal ring was fixed to the wound. It played a fixed role, and the various potions inside would be automatically injected into Allen's body at regular intervals and quantitatively, making it very convenient. Allen was in good spirits, but because of the many burns on his body, he was now tied up like a mummy, and his body was covered in disinfectant bandages.

Belmore and Regis had gone back first, and Lucy was the only one left to take care of him.

"Has Adele been here?" Alan frowned, and Lucy told him about Adele's arrival and departure without concealing anything from him. He shook his head and said, "Then why doesn't she want to see me? It's been so long since we've seen each other."

"Perhaps she's really busy. Last night, the Morsen Clan's defensive area was in danger, and the inner circle's defensive line had almost collapsed." Lucy blinked her eyes and said, "Perhaps she doesn't want to see you now."

"Why?"

"She's probably the only one who knows. Anyway, don't guess. You can't guess anyway. How do you guys know what a girl is thinking?"
