In the mountains at night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

The breeze blows, bringing a fresh breath in the mountains. Alan bites a grass core and sits on a grass slope. They had gone deep into the mountains, and now the army had found an open high ground to set up camp, and if there was no accident, they could reach the cave that led to the underground base at noon morrow. Coming to meet his father again, Alan has mixed feelings. He knew that this time his father's will was fundamentally suppressed by instinct, and even had been erased. Otherwise, he would not have built the Flame Gate and transformed a king.

The footsteps sounded, and Alan didn't have to look back, naturally the image of Kapro floated in his mind.

Kapro walked to his side, and Allen saw him wearing a fox fur cape, and smiled: "Isn't the marshal too hot?" ”

Capelo took off his cigar and shrugged his shoulders, and the fox fur cloak fell on him. The uniform on his body was taut and tight, outlining the steel curves of the marshal's body. Unlike when he first came back, Kapro's body is now in peak condition, and he no longer needs to let his enemies down by deliberately creating a precarious state, and now Kapro has returned to the best state of his prime in addition to still maintaining his face in his fifties. He stood there, without words or movements, and his whole person was sharp. If it weren't for the identity of Alan, I'm afraid that if he stood with Capro, people would ignore Alan.

However, Kapro knew that he was indeed sharp. However, Allen has already polished the qi machine sleek, obviously he is the supreme, but the qi machine is not obvious. If he wanted to, he could have posed like an ordinary person. And those who are as strong as Capro will never be able to see through him.

"Your Highness is self-respecting, so naturally you don't know the difficulties of our people. If you don't make yourself look good, how can you make the people below work hard. Kapro touched his mottled beard and said, "Sometimes, the superior also needs to be packaged." ”

Alan smiled and didn't answer.

Capro's voice deepened: "I think Your Highness should also know that although I did not participate in Vincent's plan, I also provided some information. ”

Alan bit the grass core and said, "Of course, if Vincent is forced to do so, he will not use a killing weapon like the Star Rail Cannon." The fact that the Light Hidden Society has been able to operate until now is enough to show that he is a cautious person. A cautious person, when deciding to use this trump card, will definitely need to gather information about me. And who better to give Vincent the information he needs than Marshal Capro, after all, you are the only one who has fought with me, so you should know much more about my details. ”

"But I have always underestimated His Highness, and if I knew that His Highness was the Supreme, I would not let Vincent do this."

"But time only moves forward, so there is never a if in this world." Alan laughed: "It's Marshal Capro, you, who took the initiative to admit that you assisted Vincent, but it makes me wonder why you did this?" ”

Kapro asked, "Forty years ago, the Federation launched the Nirvana Project. Our Golden Lion even attacked the Machine Star, and was expected to end the Kidd's nest in one fell swoop, but in the end, we encountered the intervention of the Demon King, resulting in a failure. Back then, I faced off against the Demon King against the Mechanical Core, and the whole battle was known only to me. Everyone thought that I had a big fight with the Demon King in that battle, and I was even seriously injured. But that's not the case. ”

Even Alan was a little curious now.

"Sbernack was just doing what I was doing, and I did it all over the place, but I didn't hurt him a hair. Even, the Demon King still allowed me to recover my strength, otherwise how could I fight for three days and three nights. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn't hurt him, and I couldn't even see the true face of the Demon King. Sburnac said at the time, I thought you were already the strongest member of the human race, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. Then let me leave the mechanical star, and he didn't even bother to kill me. ”

Capuro's shoulders twitched slightly, something he had never mentioned before, but tonight he told it to Alan. Because he felt that only Eren was qualified to know these things, only Eren was qualified to comment on it, and the rest were not qualified to comment on the Mad Lion.

"I was young, I didn't value power, I just wanted to get to the top of it. I did it, forty years ago there was no Windsor Bello. It was the age of the lions, and I thought I could hold up an era, an entire federation. But Sburnark himself told me one thing, there are mountains in this world that I can't climb. Sburnac was one of them, and now, there are four mountains. ”

He glanced at Alan and sighed, "Of course, in that era, there were only three mountains like yours. It's not much, but it's enough to overlook all beings. After returning from the chaos of the battlefield, I retired for twenty years. In the past 20 years, I have been trying to break through myself. In fact, I did, and I'm much stronger now than I was on the Automata. But even then, I can probably only give Sbernack some minor injuries. And don't forget, I'm going to grow, won't the Demon King, and the speed will only be more terrifying than mine, right? ”

"It took me twenty years, but I was never able to reach the Supreme Realm. So I knew that there was no hope of advancing to the Supreme in this life. I've seen Sburnac, I've seen the scenery in the eyes of the Supreme. I know that if you want to get to the supreme, hard work alone is not enough. I still need talent, but I don't have any talent, but I don't have any of them. As a result, my pursuit of power gradually faded, but my pursuit of power became more and more intense. ”

"Since I can't leave my footprints at the pinnacle of power, at least, I'm going to leave a strong mark on the history of mankind. So I changed my mind and I was going to be president of the Federation. It's not Mobile, it's not the impostor doubles, I'm going to put the Federation on a path to greater power than ever before, that's my long-cherished wish. ”

Alan shook his head and said, "That's just your own ambition." ”

"Yes, but I don't regret what I've done all these years, and I do see hope." Kapro sighed heavily, "But here you are, rising from the fourth peak of the Forest of Power. The Sword of Dawn attack was fruitless, and I knew it was all over. Neither can they climb to the pinnacle of power, nor can they seize the highest position of power. I've always been just an old man who has been left behind by time. ”

Alan knew that Kapro was a little disheartened to have this sigh. He said: "Marshal, there is no limit to the pursuit. Why can't you change your perspective, in this life, what you pursue should be much more than strength or power, right? ”

"For example?"

"For example, in the twilight of the universe, it is not bad to try to keep more of our compatriots alive." Alan looked at the starry sky and said, "At least that's what I think, even if I become a supreme, I still can't forget that I came out of a planet called Earth." There are my compatriots on that planet, and since I have a little power, then I hope to help my fellow citizens come out of the twilight as much as possible. So I return to Earth, so I stop you from the civil war, for your war is pointless when twilight falls. ”

Kapro nodded, "Maybe you're right. ”

Of course, Alan would not be naïve to think that Kapro would change his concept so easily, but at least, a new seed could be planted in his heart. As for whether this seed can take root and sprout, Alan doesn't care.

Suddenly, he stood up, his eyes glazed over.

Kapro's whole body shook, and he felt the change in the qi in Allen's body. That momentary change made him, who was so close at hand, suddenly become so far away. Between him and Allen, there seem to be countless galaxies.

That is the world where the Supreme is located.

Even between a strong person like Kapro, there is a dimension apart!

There were more flickering points of light in the starry sky, and then there were scattered sparks falling towards the high ground where the army was. The soldiers on the high ground were aware of this, but they didn't know what it was, let alone how to stop it. After all, there are so many Mars, the stars are falling all over the sky, and the night wind is almost pervasive.

Then a cold snort was heard in everyone's ears.

Then, as if encountering an invisible barrier, those sparks were blocked out of the space outside the high ground, and could only float in vain, and then set down in the mountains under the vast night. On the grassy slope, the world in Allen's eyes suddenly expanded rapidly, and the mountains continued to fade away in his eyes, and in an instant he saw a man. He stood on the edge of a huge cave, his armor with strange faces. These faces were spitting countless sparks from their mouths, and as soon as his gaze made contact with Allen, he was suddenly shocked. His face changed, and the man flashed into the cave. There seemed to be a strange force field in the cave, which made it impossible for Allen's vision to penetrate.

Eren retracted his gaze, knowing that the guy was Doom Flame.

Kyristan flew through the tunnel, stumbling and finally coughing up a mouthful of blood full of sparks. He smiled bitterly: "What a terrible man, just looking at each other, he was almost killed." ”

He had intended to use the evening breeze to spread his flame of doom to the highlands, transforming the combined forces of the Federation and the Golden Lion into a burning army. Unexpectedly, Alan suppressed his power and almost killed him by sight. Only then did he know why the triumvirate like the Flame of the Firmament would also fall into the hands of Allen.

The tentative attack ended in a complete defeat for Kyristan, but Doom had no idea that his side would lose. Because in the underground base, there are not only 30,000 Flame Edge warriors, but more importantly, their king is in charge.

Dusk never sets, and dawn is hard to rise.

Kyristan chuckled under his breath, his figure flickering, leaving a fluffy spark in the air and quickly fading away.
