Report

A Highland Eagle circled the mountains. After centuries of evolution, this bird of prey had evolved quite a bit compared to its counterparts in the old era. The pollution of the surface after the Battle of Dawn was a severe test for all life. Creatures that could survive in such a harsh environment all became extremely powerful and ferocious. With the Highland Eagle as an example, its size was at least twice that of its olden era counterparts. Not only could its glossy black feathers reflect the sun's powerful rays, it could even grant it the ability to fly for a short period of time in rainy weather. Its strength was 3.2 times greater than that of its kind in the old era, allowing it to easily catch an adult elk and fly a long enough distance.

Everything was competing in a harsh environment. The weak had already been eliminated by the times, and all those who survived were strong enough lives.

The Highland Eagle stared at an elk. Even though it was quite a distance away from its prey, its eyesight had also increased a lot after centuries of evolution. Even though it was only a small black dot in its eyes, after adjusting its visual range, the prey would clearly appear in its eyes. The eagle circled, its body slightly pressing down as it prepared to dive. Its diving speed was enough to capture its prey even after it noticed it. This was a unique skill of high-altitude hunters, and it had been tried and tested countless times in the past.

However, the bird of prey suddenly gave up its hunting plan. It seemed to have sensed something and let out a few panicked cries. Then, it circled around and flew in another direction. A moment later, a strange buzzing sound came from the clouds on the mountain peak. An indescribable sense of oppression caused the animals on the ground to flee first. If the Highland Eagle could fly higher. Then when it pierced through the clouds, it would see a fleet flying over the mountains above the sea of clouds.

The sun shone brightly on the sea of clouds. The metal hull of the airship refracted the sunlight, flashing golden rays of light between heaven and earth. The fleet was led by a battleship and made up of twenty high-speed warships. The battleship was in the middle of the group, and the other warships were lined up on the left and right, leaving a human-shaped shadow on the sea of clouds. It was very spectacular. Whether it was a battleship or a warship, there was a golden lion symbol on the ship.

At this moment, in the command room of the battleship, Capullo stood on the bridge, holding the bridge railing in his hand as he looked at the central screen in front of him. On the screen was an image of a mountain peak that pierced through the clouds. That was the destination of this operation. Capullo raised his hand and stroked his beard. "Light Concealment Society is indeed an extraordinary organization. Who would have thought that a base marked as damaged by the Federation would turn out to be their lair? Hey, how much longer until we get there? "

This time, Adjutant Seville did not follow him, so in this operation, the Golden Lion sent an outstanding officer from the garrison on Earth to act as Capullo's adjutant. This adjutant was still very young, and his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at the marshal. When he heard this, he stood ramrod straight and replied nervously, "Ten more minutes, marshal. But if you want, we can shorten the time by half. "

"No, let's move at this speed." Capullo shook his head.

The young officer opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something. Although Capulo didn't look at him directly, he seemed to know what was on his mind and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to hesitate in front of me."

"Yes, Marshal!" The officer said loudly, "I think the operation plan is not perfect enough."

"Oh, interesting. Where do you think my plan is flawed? Tell me. "Capullo encouraged.

The young officer nodded and said excitedly, "I think the other parts are perfect. It's just that Marshal seems to have missed one of the exits in the attack on the other party's evacuation passageway. Of course, or Marshal did it on purpose, but as an adjutant, I think it's necessary to remind you. "

Capullo laughed and finally looked at the young man. "I was wondering when you would bring it up, you know? If you don't dare to bring it up because I made this plan and you feel that it's inappropriate but you don't dare to bring it up because of my identity, then you can pack up and go home after this operation is over, because the Golden Lion doesn't need such a person. "

"It's different now. You still dare to question. This is a very important quality for an adjutant. If you are too blindly obedient to your superiors, there is no need for the position of adjutant. " Capullo nodded and said, "You're right. I deliberately left out an exit on the evacuation passageway to Doomsday Bunker to see which big fish would come out of that gap."

The officer didn't quite understand Capullo's intentions, but he didn't ask any further. On the contrary, he was very excited. With Capullo here today, he would have to make his boss look at him differently when he returned. This was of great significance to his future.

In Doomsday Bunker, Vincent and the other two were sitting on sofa sets. In the middle of them was a round crystal table with wine bottles and glasses. Each of them had a goblet in their hands that was already filled with fine wine. J sniffed the aroma of the wine and said, "K, aren't you being too sensitive? Even if A wasn't killed by the federal army, Alan definitely had something to do with it."

"Alan is the mastermind behind this, at least 90% of the time, but even so, we can't ignore the methods he used." Vincent swirled the glass and watched as the amber liquid in the glass rippled, blurring his reflection in the glass. "K has an insider in the Federation Army," he said. "If Alan mobilized the army to deal with A, it's impossible for him not to have any news. That's exactly what he's worried about. If Alan has other means to deal with A, that means he has a trump card that we don't know about. "

"K went to investigate to figure out Alan's trump card." The woman codenamed Q said, "If we don't figure out his trump card and act rashly, I'm afraid we'll lose miserably."

"I think you're all overthinking it. There's no need for everyone to come to Doomsday Bunker for this kind of thing." J sneered, "Let me go to Babylon and kill that fake president. Anyway, didn't we prepare other substitutes to replace Alan's work? But this time, we can't let these substitutes make their own decisions. We need to increase our control over them, Vincent. "

Vincent nodded.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the hall, and the expressions of the three of them changed. Vincent calmly pressed a light button on the table and asked, "What happened?"

A small screen opened on the desktop. Inside was an officer of the Light Concealment Society. He said in a low voice, "Sir, we found a Federation fleet flying in our direction and will soon arrive above the bunker."

"Could it be the usual patrol team?" Vincent frowned.

The officer shook his head. "I hope so, but if the fleet doesn't change its trajectory, it will definitely pass through the bunker. The route is so precise that it looks like it's coming for us. Most importantly, it's the fleet of the Golden Lion. The Golden Lion has never participated in aerial patrols on the surface. "

"Activate the first level of alert. Let's come to the command center immediately." Vincent turned off the screen, flicked his fingers, and entered a set of orders on the light key. Moments later, the area they were in, including the sofa and table, sank into the ground. By the time they stopped, the three of them had already arrived at the command center of the bunker. Vincent stood up and quickly walked to the command platform with the other two.

Looking down, the big screen in the command center reflected the majestic appearance of the Golden Lion Fleet. When he saw a shield appear on every airship, Vincent's last hope was shattered. The other party was ready to fight, and he was definitely coming for the Doomsday Bunker.

J shouted, "How could this be? How did the Federation know about the Doomsday Bunker? And it just so happened that when we gathered at the bunker, the Federation's army came, and it's the Golden Lion! "

"Someone among us has betrayed the organization." Vincent said with an ugly expression.

Q exclaimed, "Could it be K?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. He's the only one who didn't come." J gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me see him again, or I'll kill him!"

Vincent frowned, and suddenly said, "It might not be K, but there's something I need to confirm. Everyone, please tell us our identity codes. " After saying that, he took out a tablet AI, opened a certain system interface, and entered a set of codes. The image changed, and Vincent's portrait and other detailed information appeared on the screen.

"Every high-ranking member receives an identity code when they join, so that they can identify each other under special circumstances. Only we know this code, in other words … "Vincent raised his head, looked at the two of them and said," If it's a substitute or something, they probably don't know this code, right? "

"I don't have the habit of using a substitute," J said, then entered the code on the screen and confirmed that it was correct.

When they looked at Q, the woman's expression became extremely ugly. She took a few steps back and screamed, "No, no, no, it's not me. I didn't know the Federation would attack this place. Miss Weina only asked me to attend the meeting in her place, but she didn't mention that the Federation would attack the bunker. "

J narrowed his eyes, and suddenly appeared behind the woman in a flash. He easily grabbed the woman's neck, and his eyes turned cold. At this moment, Vincent shouted, "Don't kill her. It should be as she said. Weina only sent her to die to reassure us. It seems that Weina has been in contact with Alan for a long time. Otherwise, how would Alan know the location of the Doomsday Bunker? "

"Sir, please give the order." The director in charge of the bunker's security walked up to the platform and said loudly.

Vincent looked at the screen. On the screen, the Federation's flying ship's turrets were already glowing with energy. He sighed and said, "Full-scale counterattack, I authorize the use of all weapons systems in the bunker, including the Doomsday Cannon."

The director of security nodded. A moment later, the mountain where the bunker was located began to shake. The high-energy turrets hidden in the mountains removed their camouflage under the control of the system and aimed their black barrels at the Federation fleet in the distant sky. On the ground, missile silos opened one after another, and the missiles inside were ready. Then, a rock wall behind the mountain slid open on both sides, and countless rubble rolled down. An armored runway extended out of the mountain and pointed into the void. One after another, single-person battleships flew out of the mountain. These flying ships were much smaller than high-speed battleships, but they outnumbered the Federation's battleships by more than half. All the small battleships formed a battle formation in front of the mountain. Finally, the top of the mountain split open in the middle. Two armored plates disguised as rock walls opened to the left and right, and a pitch-black main cannon extended out from inside. A black gold barrel extended out from the middle of the cannon, and the bright red lines on the barrel and even the cannon lit up one by one, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the mountain area.

That was the Light Concealment Society's greatest lethal weapon, the Doomsday Cannon!

In the command center of the battleship, Capullo looked at the formation of the Light Concealment Society on the screen. The marshal smiled and said, "As expected of an organization that dares to challenge the Federation. It does have some strength. You have to be careful of the opponent's main cannon. It doesn't look like it's bluffing. Speaking of which, has our application for the Archangel Cannon been approved? "

The adjutant beside him looked at the information on his portable brain and nodded. "The authorization has been given, Marshal. We have locked onto the Doomsday Bunker. We are only waiting for your order to complete the attack within ten seconds. "

"Well, then let's begin the battle."

After this order was issued, other than the battleship, the other combat airships dispersed and flew in the direction of the Doomsday Bunker. As soon as the Federation fleet moved, the airships in the direction of the bunker also moved head-on. Before the airships arrived, many weapon platforms on the mountain and ground had already opened fire. The mountain turrets flickered with light, and dark red high-energy beams of light immediately tore through the air, piercing through their own flying ships with precise trajectories towards the Federation warships.

As soon as the turret opened fire, the bunker airship immediately lifted its altitude. Ten of them left the main team and rushed towards the battleship where Capullo was.

The Federation warship also launched a counterattack. The protective shield on the warship continuously absorbed the firepower from the enemy's turret while launching a fierce attack on the mountain. The high-energy cannon on the ship fired beams of blue light, and the shockwave missiles were thrown towards the missile silo on the ground of the bunker. The bunker fired missiles to intercept and counterattack at the same time, while the single airship nimbly circled around the Federation warship to harass it.

For a moment, the quiet mountain area was filled with deafening gunshots. Red and blue beams of light flew like rain, constantly crisscrossing and colliding in mid-air, while the missiles on both sides created fireballs in mid-air. The sky was dyed red by the flames of war, making people suspect that dusk had arrived early. Just as the flames of war were flying high in the sky, Capullo appeared on the armored platform of the battleship, holding the magic sniper rifle in his hand. Looking up, more than half of the ten bunker airships had been shot down, and the remaining few were still struggling to their death.

Capullo smiled and looked at the mountain where the bunker was located. His gaze fell on the pitch-black main cannon platform. He whispered, "It's about time, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the sky began to dim. In fact, the light in the space did not change at all. However, the brighter and brighter red light at the Doomsday Cannon illuminated the cannon body, dyed the mountain, occupied the space, and became the focus of all gazes. That was why there was a strong visual contrast. The sky and earth gradually darkened, and only the red light at the mouth of the Doomsday Cannon grew brighter and brighter. Capullo didn't even need to sense it carefully to know that the red light was filled with violent energy.

After all the lines on the main cannon lit up, the entire world suddenly quietened down. Capullo heard a sigh like cannon and saw the red light explode. A bright red pillar of light shot out from within like a torrent! The pillar of light pierced through the sky and slanted in the direction of the battleship. Wherever it passed, space distorted. The surrounding images stretched towards the direction of the pillar of light, and at the same time, a series of crackling sounds of silk ripping rang out.

The flying ships near the pillar of light, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, lost control and involuntarily floated towards the pillar of light. As long as they gently brushed against the surface of the pillar of light, the flying ships would suddenly explode, turning into countless fireballs embellished with this destructive ray of light.

The moment the Doomsday Cannon fired, Capullo took a deep breath and never stopped. He raised his chest, and strands of golden light seeped out from under his skin. Seeing that the destructive ray of light was about to arrive, Capullo exhaled and spoke. With a heavy press of his feet, the entire battleship sank under his weight, and the hull armor groaned.

The battleship sank, and Capullo rose. He held Jueyin in one hand and drew a circle in front of him with the other. A small golden disc appeared in front of Capullo's palm, but when the bright red torrent arrived, the disc suddenly expanded, forming a thousand-meter-long Origin Energy shield! The pillar of light smashed into the shield and collided fiercely, shooting out countless jets of energy. The sky was like a rain of light, and golden and red jets fell from the sky. When they landed on the ground, after a moment of delay, fireballs bloomed in the mountains and forests.

In an instant, tens of square kilometers of land was engulfed by flames. Rocks exploded, trees collapsed, animals fled in fright, and the earth appeared as if it was the end of the world. Looking up at the sky, the angle of the Doomsday Cannon's pillar of light began to change under the deflection of Capullo's shield. In the command center of the bunker, Vincent and the others watched as the pillar of light on the screen finally refracted at an angle of 30 degrees and shot into the sky, causing a violent explosion outside the clouds.

"Monster" Vincent's face was filled with bitterness. "Although it's a trick to change the angle of the Doomsday Cannon with a fulcrum, how many people can do it? Using the Abyss Crystal to power up, the Doomsday Cannon can even cause space to collapse. It was actually blocked by that monster Capullo in such a way … "

J shook his head and said, "Maybe we should consider evacuating."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crazy alarm sounded in the command center. The security chief looked at the reading on a screen and screamed, "There is a high-intensity energy reaction in the sky above the base. It will come into contact with the base in three seconds. Activate all shields, increase energy to the highest level, prepare to resist the impact! "
