Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1545: Fall

It was raining in the sky.

Swarms of bees swooped down, shooting out spines halfway. The spines fell like rain onto the walls of Cape City, and in the blink of an eye, a row of dense fireballs appeared. After two waves of fireballs, the defensive barrier of Cape City rose. However, the swarm did not stop attacking because of this. Instead, the attack became even more intense. These giant bees were completely unlike wild insects. They formed their own formation, firing spines one after another. After a few waves of bombardment, the defensive barrier of Cape City was close to collapsing. In the command center of the City Defense Forces, all the barrier generators showed signs of overloading, and the alarm sounded sharply.

"What the hell? Where did these things come from!" The officer who had been wiping the axe was now standing in front of the big screen with the axe in his hand. He stared at the swarm of black clouds on the screen with widened eyes and shouted, "I've never seen such a thing before."

The Baltic, who was using his four arms to quickly operate the instrument, shouted, "Detect the reaction of the gigantic beings, in the sky, in the sky!"

In the sky, the thick dark clouds had already completely enveloped Cape City. At Cape City's fleet port, squadrons of combat airships were flying. Before they could form a formation in the air, a swarm of colossal bees had already rushed over, spitting out powerful stings from the stern, piercing into the ship's armor like rain. In the next moment, a large amount of fireballs flickered, and then the combat airships fell to the ground, exploding into pieces. At this time, the anti-air turret of Cape City began to display its might. High-energy beams of light pierced through the air, blasting out fireballs in the swarm, illuminating the swarm. Within the fireball, the corpses of giant bees continuously fell from the sky, but the number of bees was so large that they would not be able to finish killing them in an instant.

Even the intense artillery fire on the empty turret could only cut off a layer of "clouds." The swarm of bees suddenly split apart, and a black shadow the size of a mountain fell from within. They collided against the already shaky barrier of Cape City. Finally, the city's barrier was no longer able to withstand this kind of physical impact. Fireballs continued to explode in the city, but generators exploded one after another. The black heavy object descended into the city like this. It turned out to be giant nodal insects that were as big as mountains. After the insects landed, the armor on both sides opened and black shadows suddenly gushed out of the body cavity of the armor. These were ant insects that were about the size of giant bees. They could not fly like giant bees, but they crawled like flying bees. A large number of dense and dense ant insects spread out like tides, rushing into the streets and alleys of Cape City. These insects were crazily attacking every life they could encounter. One of the Shadow Army had just entered the battlefield when they were swarmed by the insects. After the insect tide passed, the Shadow Army only had bones and armor left.

At this time, groups of armored war chariots were heading towards the city from the barracks. The artillery fire from the war chariots finally blocked the spread of the insects. However, before the commander of the convoy could breathe a sigh of relief, the ants began to play with self-detonation. Often, an ant pounced on the chariot and then self-destructed. The explosion was powerful enough to completely deform the armored chariots, and the soldiers inside were blasted into pieces by the shockwaves of the explosion. Looking from the sky, one could see a wave of insects self-detonating. Explosions and blazing flames filled every corner of the city. The once prosperous city turned into hell in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, hurry up and inform Demoic Ring City. We can't defend against such an attack. There are too many damn things. We have to consider abandoning the city now." An officer in the command center shouted.

Suddenly someone shouted, "What is that?"

On the big screen, after the swarm of bees in the sky continued to dive, the dark clouds were no longer as dense as they were at the beginning. Thus, the officers in the command center saw what was behind the dark clouds. It was a dark shadow, and they could not see what it was clearly. However, if they compared it with the giant bees, they would know that it was as large as a mountain peak! After Zhi Nao adjusted the screen, the black shadow on the screen was enlarged. What appeared in everyone's eyes was a beehive, an incomparably large beehive. It was like a mothership silently flying high in the sky. In the screen, the hexagonal grids on the hive were being opened one by one, and swarms of giant bees rushed out from within. The giant bees danced around the hive like black cloud ribbons entangling the mountain peaks, gradually concealing the hive. In the next moment, the swarm of bees dived downwards. For a moment, the screen was filled with the figures of giant bees, and nothing could be seen.

The officers in the command center looked at each other. The Baltic, who had been using his four arms since the beginning, stopped and turned around bitterly. "Everyone, I think we should retreat now." Just as he finished speaking, the command center suddenly shook. The ceiling split open, and the cables inside danced wildly, sparks splashing everywhere. In the flames, one could see a huge head and two pairs of curved and enormous jaw teeth. It turned out to be the giant bug that had landed earlier. It plunged into the command center and countless self-detonating ants flooded in from the gap created by the giant bug. Moments later, a pillar of fire exploded in the command center. The Shadow Army that was still struggling to resist in the city immediately lost its command and dispatch.

Cape City was blazing with flames. Squads of bees could be seen charging into the city, hunting down soldiers and civilians. Fire and blood could be seen in every corner of the city, and countless corpses appeared in strange postures. This scene was like hell that was clearly reflected in a pair of eyes.

It was Empress Garde's eyes, and Alice's eyes. Still in Queen Garde's chest, Alice, who was now almost wrapped in biological tissue, revealed only a charming face. A smile gradually piled up on her face and she said in a deep tone, "Destroy it, wash it. My children, find Bernard for me. We want to kill him, kill this disobedient boy!"

Empress Garde let out a long cry, and pillars of fire immediately sprayed out from the surrounding lava lake. The flames illuminated every part of the giant bug, and a violent aura spread out from Queen Garde's body. In an instant, it swept across the entire Canon Black Gate, and then it advanced towards the wasteland in front of the Black Gate. The entire Forgotten Realm was slightly shaken by this aura.

In Demoic Ring City.

On the camp grounds, Devlin sheathed the Black Knife Demon and said in a low voice, "Let's call it a day."

Opposite her, Laura stabbed the Red Queen into the ground to support her body. Her armor was scattered all over her body, her hair was wet with sweat on her face, and there were many knife wounds on her arms and thighs. What was even more serious was a wound on her abdomen. If she went any deeper, she would hurt Laura's intestines. These knife wounds were naturally bestowed by Devlin. Just as Ellen had expected, Devlin would not let Laura off the hook because of her ident. I.ty. He was already a little afraid of Alan if he didn't make a move even more ruthless. Otherwise, with Devlin's killing power that almost made Grand Duke Griffith hate her, Laura would have long since turned into a corpse.

After the Shadow Castle guards escorted Laura away, an officer did not rush into the school grounds and shouted to Devlin from afar, "Not good, General. I just received news that Cape City has fallen!"
