Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 476: Blue Wilderness

After the first collision, Ceglis made a preliminary assessment of Allen. Alan, who had the same genetic bloodline, had limited individual strength. Even though his potential was great, no matter how great it was, he would have to dig out all his potential before he could turn it into strength. Until then, Ceglis didn't think Alan would be his match. For example, by giving him undisturbed space and time, Ceglis was confident that he could kill Alan so that he could get a point on the path to burning blood.

Unfortunately, such a condition was almost impossible. He was also an outsider, but Ceglis discovered that Alan had already merged with the planet. He could even rely on his influence on the planet to restrict his movements with the help of external forces. After meeting at Ark Harbor, Orban launched a search of him in the territory, forcing Ceglis to leave the count's territory.

Things like this would happen more frequently as Allen's influence grew. Moreover, judging from the relationship between the races on this planet, Cyglis's odd appearance was defined as a mutant by the human-dominated Baylagon Empire, and the relationship between humans and mutants was very bad. Therefore, it was a huge challenge for Segliss to fight against Alan in the human empire.

Although the intelligence gathered suggests that the planet's mutants also form a kingdom to fight against humans. However, Ceglis felt that he did not have the energy and patience to use the Shadow Duchy against Alan. The competition on the Blood Burning Road was not only cruel, but also urgent. Every day meant that there was a higher chance of being targeted by other competitors. Among these competitors, Ceglis did not think that he had a big advantage, so he wanted a quick conclusion.

Ceglis changed his mind after failing to unite with other human killers against Alan. He no longer cared about attracting the attention of the planet's natives, so he decided to return to his starship and use its destructive weapons to bombard Allen. According to his observations, this planet did not have any weapons to deal with starships. Unless it was those experts who stood at the peak of their strength, no one could save Alan, who had been locked onto by the starship cannon platform.

"Wait, dear brother. Soon, you will become a part of my strength!" Ceglis whispered.

A little more time passed quietly.

Before dawn, Ceglis left. In Dawn Castle, Ellen's will was retreating from the Origin Energy Star Sea. This time, he had gained a lot from entering the Star Sea. After intentionally triggering the Origin Energy Fireflies to devour each other and condense into higher quality Origin Energy cores, Allen harvested several such cores, as well as dozens of Origin Energy Fireflies. After they were brought out of the Origin Energy Sea, they quickly merged into Allen's own Origin Energy, filling up the amount of Origin Energy he needed to reach the next level.

Everything seemed to have come to pass. After a wave of Origin Energy engulfed Alan's entire body, he smoothly advanced to Level 18. Advancement brought about an increase in Origin Energy capacity, allowing Allen's body to carry more Origin Energy. Moreover, his body's functions were strengthened by the Origin Energy Wave. At the same time, a new ability is activated. It was a completely new genetic circuit within the prairie blade, called Lighting.

Ignition was not an offensive ability. It was a supplementary ability for Allen. However, it was extremely useful, as described by the name of the ability. It could ignite Allen's Origin Energy like a flame. Through the rapid consumption of Origin Energy, it could increase the power of other attacks. According to Allen's estimation, lighting it would more than double the power of all attacks.

After it was ignited, it could be upgraded to "boiling" and "erupting" as Allen increased its Origin Energy and rank. The higher the rank, the greater the attack power. On the other hand, the more Origin Energy he consumed. However, with the ability to ignite, Allen had a greater explosive power, allowing him to instantly inflict even greater damage.

Alan was excited, but he was also worried. As he got closer to Level 20, which would bring about a qualitative change, Alan could feel the existence of the barrier even more clearly. It was like a tall mountain range, becoming a huge obstacle to Allen's power growth. If he could not overcome this obstacle, Allen's accomplishments would forever stop below Level 20.

Until now, he still couldn't find a better solution. As he approached Level 20, this problem was imminent, and he had to prepare for it in advance. He sighed. After deciding to complete this battle, he began to actively search for a solution to the barrier in the time it took to stabilize the power.

The first barrier was indirectly resolved by Hughton, although Hughton also expressed helplessness about the second barrier. But just because he couldn't do anything, didn't mean that other people couldn't do anything. Allen was no longer the youth on the surface of the earth. He already had a wider space. He even had Windsor Belo as his teacher. Even if Windsor Belo herself did not have a solution, she could still find a solution through Marshal Greed's connections.

All of this was based on Allen's own strength. The more powerful he was, the more valuable he would be in the eyes of others. Only with value would someone offer advice on the difficult problems in his body. Otherwise, if he was still the youth on the surface, who would have looked at him?

Forces are also one of the factors of strength. What better way to develop forces than to go to war? Alan packed his bags and walked out of the bedroom. He knew that from the moment he left the bedroom, a wider world was waiting for him. Today, his army will leave Dawn Castle. Two days later, they would fight an army from the Unicorn Legion in the Blue Wilderness. That would determine whether or not they could overcome the obstacles and reach the Bauhinia Territory's battle!

After this battle, unless Daniel took the risk to attack, no one would be able to stop him from marching into the Bauhinia and completely turn Oru's territory into his.

Between Dawn Castle and Bauhinia, there was a blue plain. There is a rare plant here, Blue Core Grass. As the name implied, the blue core of this plant was a natural blue color. The root of a blue core grass was dark blue, and its color gradually changed from strong to light above the root. They were deeply rooted in the soil and dyed the grassland blue like an ocean.

Blue Wilderness got its name from this.

This beautiful grassland was also the natural boundary between the two territories. Right now, a unicorn army was stationed on the grassland, and they were setting up a large temporary camp.

During Daniel's earlier military operation, two 500-strong armies joined forces in the Blue Field through a series of movements, forming a powerful barrier to stop Allen's footsteps. Daniel had invested quite a bit of effort in this matter. Due to his mobility and combat strength, more than half of the troops stationed here were cavalry.

The cavalry of nearly 600 men possessed the power to sweep through the other territories. In the war before the war chariot, the mobility of cavalry was irreplaceable by other arms. They were the nightmare of the infantry. Apart from a few special forces, the other forces would often have to pay ten to one to deal with the cavalry, or even more.

So, if nothing unexpected happens. Six hundred cavalry were enough to eat thousands of infantry. Their charge would take thousands of lives, and they could be called the god of death on the battlefield. This cavalry was also the elite combat strength of the Unicorn Legion, so Daniel had clearly placed enough importance on Alan to set them up here.

The one in charge of commanding this army was the deputy commander of the legion, Tucker. Tucker had a combat strength of Level 17 and was an outstanding warrior under Daniel's banner. He was second only to Guild Leader Barre, but Tucker was too muddled and didn't know how to adapt, so he was quite excluded from the military system. If it weren't for his strong strength, he would have kicked out of the Unicorn Legion long ago.

Tucker was too rigid in his command, not as flexible and flexible as Barre. However, his defenses were watertight. Although it was more appropriate for him to command the infantry, he had now sent Daniel to the Blue Wilderness to direct the army to stop Alan's advance.

At dawn, Tucker left the tent. He found an open space in the camp and carried out his daily routine training. From the most basic physical training to fighting practice, Tucker had completed it one-on-one. His life was like a rigorous process, with everything planned for every day, ten years like a day, without the slightest slack. With such an officer, the discipline of the barracks could be imagined.

When Tucker finished his training, the cavalry and infantry began their daily training. The sun gradually rose, and the temperature in the Blue Wilderness also rose. As the soldiers were sweating under the sun, melodious horns suddenly sounded on the other side of the camp.

Three long and one short.

A few moments later, a sentinel rushed to Tucker's side and said, "Commander, we have discovered that the enemy troops have left the Forest of Flowing Light and are beginning to enter the Blue Wilderness."

Tucker took a deep breath, feeling a little excited, but he still asked cautiously, "How many people are there?"

The sentinel revealed a strange expression and said hesitantly, "According to our observation, the number of people on the other side is only 600 at most."

"What kind of arms do you have?"

"Infantry and fire. Gunners are the majority. There are no cavalry."

Tucker touched the needle-like beard on his chin and said, "The army of about 600 men, without the cavalry, wants to pass through the Blue Field under our control. Their commanders are either lacking in intelligence or arrogant. However, the only thing that will not change is that they will stop here today."

"Inform the entire army to prepare for battle!"

A horn rang out in the camp, and Tucker himself was dressed in dark armor. A soldier brought him a shield and a hammer. After finishing his arming, Tucker's Warhammer pointed outside the camp, and the army left the camp.
