Edge of the Apocalypse

? "What are you whispering?"

Andos stood up, threw the wine bottle aside, and then picked up a new bottle of wine. He unscrewed the cap and poured it into his mouth: "I have to say, the drink you invented is really good."

At this moment, Alan turned around, looked at him and said, "I probably know who is stopping you?"

"who is it?"

"Beskard’s former Patriarch Horn, I thought he died in the big explosion of the Iron Prison, but now it doesn’t seem to be the same thing." Alan sighed, "The famous knife Qiuyan in Horn’s hand, The knife energy cut out is the same as your description. After the Iron Prison explosion, Horn's body was not found at the explosion site. I have always had reservations about his death, and now it seems that he is not dead."

"What's dead and not dead, what's the use of saying these."

Alan squinted his eyes and said, "Why would it be useless? If Horne didn't die in the iron prison, where did he go and what did he do during this time? He wouldn't be the kind of person who can do extra work. There must be a reason why the name of death disappeared under our noses, maybe it was to investigate us. Therefore, we cannot let him live, at least not let him be on Babylon."

"Andos, you have to go to Ugalle Castle again!"

Andros said indifferently: "I don't think this is necessary."

"Why?" Alan frowned.

"Because, the time has come..." Andos raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the warehouse.

Alan followed him to see, but couldn't see anything unusual.

The night is deep in Babylon, but it is not dim in space. In addition to the starlight, the flashing lights of the Rainbow Bridge space station on the moon are also enough to illuminate a corner of this cold space. In more distant places, a silver band can be faintly seen. Of course, there will be no silver belt in space, so in fact, it is the Earth’s space defense line. Five space base stations are used as nodes, and autonomous weapons are distributed between the nodes, the unmanned ship "Himdal" known as the space turret. Its name is derived from the guardian of the heavens in Norse mythology, and it is appropriate for its function.

The circular line of defense formed by space base stations and self-discipline weapons is called the "Ring of Dawn." This line of defense has been constructed since the war of dawn, and it is regarded as the hope of a new era.

At this moment, not far from the moon, in one of the space base stations in the Ring of Dawn, the stationmaster Lavis immediately gave a series of emergency calls to wake him up. Lavis has served on the space station for more than ten years. This middle-aged man has curly hair like a wire, coupled with tough lines, which makes him look like a man who is not easy to yield. The fact is also true. Lavis's bad temper is famous in the space station, and it has offended many people. Otherwise, based on his qualifications, he should have been transferred elsewhere, but he is still the master of a space station.

But Lavis didn't take it seriously. He liked the job and was proud of it.

Getting out of the bed, the space station master with a muscular suit took the communicator, and said in a deep voice: "You better have enough reasons to do this, otherwise I will let you guys know that you are about to wake up one who is about to fall asleep. People, what a terrible thing."

"I'm sorry to wake you up, stationmaster. But I still have to ask you to come over to the command center. Just a minute ago, we found that the space reading was abnormal!" On the communicator was Lavis's lieutenant Captain Maud. A rigorous and old-fashioned man.

Hearing Maude's voice, Lavis realized that the situation was not simple. He put down the communicator, put on his uniform, and quickly left his room. After a while, he walked into the gate of the command center. The personnel in the command center shuttled, and various readings were called out by the staff. Such a lively scene was completely different from the past. Ravis walked quickly up the bridge platform and saw Maude from a distance. He was surrounded by several people, and seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing Ravis appeared, Maude squeezed out of the crowd and handed a tablet to the stationmaster. Lavis took a look and saw the data and graphs of the spatial reading on the screen. Looking at the rising curve, Lavis's face became very bad.

Several base stations in the Ring of Dawn monitor the source force response in outer space for 24 hours. The readings in space now far exceed the horizontal value. This indicates that a space channel is taking shape and is about to open, which means that the earth may be attacked by external forces. . Lavis put down the tablet and said anxiously: "Contact Rainbow Bridge to see if they can receive channel applications from alliance members."

"Already contacted, I haven't received any applications from the alliance members recently." Maude said solemnly.

"Damn it, is it the enemy? But how is this possible, the Interstellar Defense did not give any warning."

"So now, what do we have to do?" Captain Maud asked.

Ravis held on to the railing of the bridge and said loudly: "The first level of alert is activated, and all self-disciplined weapons within our jurisdiction are on standby. And Maude, immediately contact Babylon. This matter needs to be reported to the President immediately. ."

"Yes."

On the Dawn Circle Defense Line, the unmanned ships on both sides of the space base station began to enter the standby state. At this moment, at a location very far away from this line of defense, space suddenly twisted like a curtain. At the same time, a crazy alarm sounded in the command center of the space station, the space reading has reached a critical value, and a channel is about to open! Lavis looked ugly at the big screen. At this time, the command center became quiet, and everyone was holding their breath.

On the screen, a thin light appeared in the distorted space. Then with this light as the center, the space suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a colorful space channel. The diameter of this passage reaches more than ten kilometers. In Lavis's impression, the space passage of this scale is entirely prepared for the passage of the fleet.

Finally, a battleship-class starship jumped out of the passage. The starship has smooth lines, and its hull is in a distinctly knotted shape. After it jumped out of the space channel, wings protruded from both sides of the knotted hull, and then moved up and down like a big fish. Like moving in space.

"Biological mimicry technology? This is the Nirm's starship, ready to fight! Ready to fight!" Ravis shouted.

On the screen, more and more starships enter space from space channels. Those starships that simulate fish swimming in the water are battleships in the Nirm fleet and are responsible for providing heavy fire support. Behind the battleships, motherships resembling giant manta rays began to slide out of the passage. As soon as these flat motherships exited the passage, they opened all the hatches and threw out countless small battleships.

Outside space, battleships quickly formed formations, and groups of battleships were distributed around the battleships to form an offensive formation. When the space channel was still pouring out of starships, another channel opened, followed by the third and fourth! A total of four large passages were opened, and the Nelm fleet quickly entered space, forming a huge fleet. Judging from the screen of the space station, the space outside the ring of dawn is full of enemy ships, and the number is desperate!

"Damn it, how could this happen." Lavis turned his head and shouted, "Can't you reach the president yet?"

Maude responded from the other side: "No, Babylon can't reach Mr. President yet."

"What about Marshal Capro?"

"The marshal seems to have not returned from the interstellar defense line."

"Damn!" Lavis slammed his fist on the railing: "These Nirmites really pick time."

At this time Maude shouted again: "Stationmaster, General Sylfa is on the ninth line!"

Ravis lifted up his spirits: "Hurry up and take it."

A window popped up on the big screen. In the window was Silfa's figure. The young federal admiral calmly asked: "What's the matter, Master Lavis, I heard that you are contacting Mr. President and Caprow. marshal?"

"It's great to see you, General." Lavis said loudly: "The big thing is not good. The Nelm fleet is now in space outside the Ring of Dawn. This is an attack, an invasion!"

Silfa's expression in the window also changed: "The number of enemy troops?"

"A lot!" Lavis glanced at the enemy fleet ~www.readwn.com~ with a bitter tone: "The battleship alone is estimated to be at the million level."

"What?" Silfa lost his voice: "That is almost the entire military strength of the Nirmites. They are attacking. Why didn't the interstellar defense send any alarm?"

"I don't know this. General, what should I do now?"

Silfa shouted: "You must keep the line of defense. Mr. President cannot be contacted now, and Marshal Kaprow is not on the earth. I can only send my army to support you first, and I will ask the House to initiate an emergency agreement as soon as possible!

After speaking, the window was closed. I think it was Silfa who would contact the House and military officials. Lavis looked at the enemy fleet on the screen and smiled bitterly. Of course he will do his best to defend the line of defense, but seeing so many enemy ships, in fact he lacks even half of confidence.

"Contact other base stations to activate the highest alert state of the Ring of Dawn!" Lavis gritted his teeth: "Even if it is dead, we have to drag these guys here!"

Babylon, the black street.

In the warehouse, Alan lowered his head and said, "What did you mean by that sentence?"

Andos chuckled, pointing to the ceiling and said: "Just as we are talking, if there is no accident, your majesty's army should have reached the area of ​​your ring of dawn defense. In other words, it is time to attack. "

"What?" Alan said angrily: "Why didn't you notify me, and it doesn't match the time that Cagaso said?"

"The reason is simple." Andos walked to him, bowed his head and said in Alan's ear: "Because your majesty said, your waste has no use value!"
