Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 146: The Queen's Return

Horn laughed happily in the study. He shook his head and said, "What's so hard to guess? Back then, when I was your age, I also formed a small alliance with Kate, Jennifer, and the others to advance and retreat together. In the end, we achieved what we have achieved." Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the change in our identities, we have indeed accomplished the goals we set ourselves back then, but we have lost that kind of sincerity. Only Old Kate is left to confide in. As for the others "

Horn's expression darkened as he sighed, "Forget about it. In short, cherish your current friendship and work hard to nurture it. It will be an important fulcrum that will support you towards your respective goals."

Alan nodded and thought of Hyderick's son, "Grandpa, I saw Arthur last night."

Horn repeated the name "Arthur" and said, "This son of Fourth Brother is very deep. This is quite similar to Fourth Brother. What do you think of him?"

"I always find it hard to get along with him." Alan said truthfully.

'"It's normal for you to feel that way. After all, Kodorf is the first one. And Arthur is such a tough kid to deal with. In your generation, Regis is also a tough kid, but unlike Arthur, he has thorns all over his body. As long as you cut open his thorns, you'll find that he's actually a very simple, very pure little guy." Horn smiled.

Alan agreed with his grandfather.

"Let me ask you, if you take over my position in the future, what will you do to your uncles and their people?" Horn suddenly said.

Alan thought for a moment and said, "As long as they don't do anything to harm the family and me, I will not touch them. I will use them even more. They are important bloodlines of the family."

"It's good that you think so." Horn nodded and said, "Do you know why Grandpa chose his successor in your generation? That's because my four children have obvious shortcomings. The boss is fine in battle, but his temper and temperament are too rough to even think about letting him run the family. But he is very loyal to the family, and there is no doubt about that."

"Second is the most knowledgeable of the four and is a great help to me in financial management. However, his body had a congenital defect that prevented him from igniting the flames. With this restriction alone, he didn't have the position of Patriarch. As for Third Brother, his aptitude is not bad. With time, he should be able to reach the threshold of peak combat strength. "But his temperament is too extreme. He really is not the choice of the upper echelons." Horn paused for a moment and said, "As for the fourth, he involves many people. Politics, literature, art and almost all other fields are involved. As for Origin Energy, he wasn't as talented as Third Brother, and he was on par with Boss. However, Fourth Brother had a fatal flaw. He was so smart that he always wanted to take advantage of everything. However, he didn't know that, as the leader of a clan, intelligence was important, but sometimes, he needed the courage of a common man who had fallen into a calamity. That's why Fourth Brother, it's okay to be an aide. If it's the Patriarch, he's still far from enough. "

Alan remembered that Horn had specially analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of his four uncles.

"So you see, my successor can only choose from your generation. Until now, Ellen, your performance has been good. This makes Grandpa very gratified. But remember, if you ever get the chance to take over the position of Patriarch from your grandfather in the future, you need to understand how to make good use of it. There was no pure black and white in this world, it was more gray. You have to set a bottom line for yourself. As long as you don't cross the bottom line, you can use it. You know, just cutting off dissidents is the narrowest thing you can do. "

"I see, Grandpa."

Horn nodded, "Alright, you can go down now. Remember, Marshal Greed must perform well in the final exam. When you pass the exam, Grandpa will submit an application to the Council of Elders to let you officially enter the heir ranks."

Alan returned to his residence in the wing tower.

In the room, the living room furniture was basically moved to the side. In the middle was a workbench with various materials and machining tools, which were necessary for Allen to create the Magic Cube sequence. Below the workbench were two boxes that had not yet been opened. These were some of the serial materials that Allen had purchased through the family warehouse, including four basic templates.

Alan walked back to his bedroom and took out two semi-finished pivot arrays from the safe in the corner. This was what he had prepared for Windsor Belo's final exam. In the next few days, he planned to stay in the castle. Now that the materials were all here, it was time to create a complete Magic Cube sequence and embed them into the two magic energy weapons that he had purchased earlier.

As a result, for the next three days, Allen barely left the house. From time to time, he could hear the sound of machining equipment working in his room. Finally, on the third night, Allen completed these two low-level sequences. After checking, one sniper/shot/gun and one charge/blade/gun were embedded. Since the Magic Cube sequence was personally created by Alan, he named the two magic weapons, Heavy Armor Hunter and Gale Sagittarius.

Heavy Hunt is a sniper/strike/gun, Mana Heavy Sniper has an effective firing range of 2200 meters. With the help of intelligent sights and AI locking system, the error of origin sniper projectile is controlled at the last three decimal places. After embedding in the sequence created by Allen, the ability to reload and kill could activate the heavy warhead. This ability could further improve the quality of the Origin Energy Bomb, increasing its overall power by about 25%.

The Gale Shooter is a charge/tip/rifle that provides 60 rounds of standard Origin Energy bullets at a time. The sequence that Allen had loaded on it provided an auxiliary ability, and magazine expansion was a sequence commonly used in light magical firearms. It can reduce the consumption of Origin Energy and increase the number of bullets. Usually, this capability can provide the holder with a 30% increase in ammunition. Made by Allen, which raised the number to 45%, involves some of the profitability of business operations, in addition to the quality of Allen's own sequences that are far superior to those produced on the assembly line.

After all, as long as they could reduce the power of the sequence, they would be able to save a large amount of materials. The difference in profits was enough to make the black-hearted arms dealers unable to keep their mouths shut.

Of course, Allen's own sequence didn't have any problems in this regard. Raising the ammunition volume to 87 rounds indirectly increased the attack power by 20%, which could also be considered a considerable help. These two mo martial artifacts were prepared for the captains and vice captains of the squad at that time. As a result, the squad's equipment configuration would finally be completed at that time.

Allen was responsible for the rest. Allen was not only the commander of the squad, he had to lead the way when he entered the Sacred Planting Army. To go into battle and kill the enemy, one's equipment and strength were indispensable. In terms of equipment, Allen's defenses were protected by silence, while his weapons were fangs and demon praises. Alan had already seen the power of the Blood Blade Burial when it activated its awakened form to save Adele. It was said that it was fully equipped, especially when the Abyss Devil praised the Origin Tool, and Alan had already witnessed the power of the Blood Blade Burial. However, as long as the difference in levels wasn't too great, Blood Blade Burial would definitely be a bloody killing move. The leader of Sacred Disarmament was only at level 14 or level 5. Once Alan was given a chance to assassinate him, the Blood Blade Burial alone would be enough to take his life.

Apart from equipment, all that was left was strength. The Origin Energy level could be said to be Allen's weakness. At least at this stage, Allen didn't have a way to quickly condense his Origin Energy, so he could only step by step.

Two weeks before Christmas, snow fell and a small magical starship entered Ares Military Port. The warship was painted with the symbol of a red wild wolf. It was the special emblem of the Red Wolf Intelligence Bureau, which was under the command of the Sirius Legion and was responsible for intelligence work. Red Wolves have a branch office in Babylon, which they claim was set up to assist and improve the Federation's intelligence network. But in reality, everyone knew that it was an important tool for Marshal Greed to earn a lot of money in Babylon.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Red Wolf's flying ships would come and go at Ares Military Harbor.

After the starship landed, a black flying car quickly picked up the important people on board. At that time, there were quite a few people who saw the flying car in the harbor, but no one knew that Windsor Belo was sitting in the flying car. Beside her was naturally the handsome adjutant, Mirren. This time around, Marshal Greed had come quietly, completely lacking the luxury he had last time. The ten fingers of Babylon could count the people who knew of her return.

After a few months of separation, Windsor Belo, who was in the car, was a little lazy. However, as he looked around, fine light flashed in his purple eyes from time to time. A murderous aura that was like ice would sweep past the carriage, as if ice and snow were blowing into the carriage, causing the people inside the carriage to feel a chill.

Mirren could only cough dryly, "Marshal "

"I see." Windsor Belo said helplessly, "I just copied the Blade Demon's nest. The killing intent on my body is a little too heavy. I'll just take it."

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before she exhaled. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze softened a lot. The killing intent that made one's back turn cold had indeed subsided a lot.

The car drove Windsor Belo to the Goliath building and the marshal got off. In the car, adjutant Mirren whispered, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Go back to Babylon and rest for a few days. Don't say that I don't know how to sympathize with my subordinates." Windsor Belo pulled the white hat, leaving behind a charming smile. She turned around and entered the building.

Mirren shook her head and said in a voice she could only hear, "Let me work by your side is the greatest gift to me, my Lady Queen."

Of course, Windsor Belo could not hear her adjutant. Returning to the apartment on the top floor and kicking rudely into the boots, Windsor Belo shouted, "Dear Nono, your elder sister, I'm back and I'm not out yet. By the way, tell me what's so interesting about the months I've been away."

At the end of his words, a burst of hurried footsteps and a girl's exclamation sounded in the living room behind the entrance.

The little maid, Nono, hurriedly fell again, causing Windsor Belo to shake her head as she supported her forehead.

Number 1-3, third watch complete. After I save some manuscripts, I will return them to the Alliance Leader of the Silver G. o.d!
