Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 178: Night Strike



Chapter 178: Night Strike

"What's going on?" Coggess tried his best to look into the distance, because the night was so dark that he could not see clearly.

Alan said in a low voice, "I'll go take a look."

Coggess nodded and called for a soldier beside him. He took the signal gun from his hand and handed it to Alan. "You know how to use it? Be careful."

Signal guns could fire three colors of fireworks. Red represented extreme danger and needed to be evacuated immediately; Blue represents ordinary danger, can counterattack or wait and see its change; Green is safe, without any danger. During the training, Allen had already remembered these differences and immediately accepted them. Put away the signal gun and dive out immediately. After absorbing the King Snake's blood, his speed could be considered as one or two among the non-commissioned officers. Moreover, the explosive power brought by the King Serpent's blood was able to speed up his escape in a short period of time, but this was not something that other sergeants could do.

It was precisely because of this that Allen dared to take over this important task.

He had an ominous premonition.

Something unusual must have happened on the other side of the night wasteland.

After leaving Saber Demon's village, the terrain gradually extended upwards. Alan rushed up a low slope and continued to drive wildly by the moonlight. His speed gradually increased. In the night, he flashed like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run several hundred meters. After running like this for a moment, he stopped under a strange tree whose branches were bent like claws. Alan took out his tactical binoculars and looked at it. Under the light green night vision mode, the wasteland was completely visible.

A ball of fire flashed. It was the fireball that exploded just now. Alan could see the wreckage of several transport vehicles. They were blown to the ground, and it seemed impossible to bring them back to the base.

There were enemies!

Then the remaining question was, where was the enemy? Alan quickly came up with an answer to this question. First, a few ghostly lights appeared on the wasteland behind the flames. Then, more and more ghostly lights appeared, lined up in a dense line. That was the reflection of a creature's eyes. Alan roughly estimated that it would take two hundred pairs of eyeballs to form such a ghost flame.

When the first Berserk Horned Wolf appeared near the car fire, Alan knew what it was.

Wild Wolf Knight!

That's right, the one riding on the Berserk Horned Wolf was a Berserk Wolf Knight. The Saber Demon that appeared in the telescope was much stronger than the tribe that Allen and the others had taken out earlier, and their compatriots were much stronger. His head, chest, waist, and calves were all covered with strange armor made of metal and animal bones. Behind this Saber Demon, there was even a banner with a sharp fang.

The Saber Demon pointed in Allen's direction and shouted loudly in their language. More and more Wolf Cavalry appeared beside him. The 200 or so Berserk Wolf Knights were already quite powerful. However, with the terrain and strategy, it was not impossible to fight. Alan wanted to send out a blue signal, but at this moment, the wilderness behind the Wild Wolf Knight suddenly lit up with flames.

Alan immediately adjusted the telescope's vision. When the distance was shortened, he saw a war weapon similar to a war chariot. Just like the Blade Demon flying ships they saw in outer space, these weapons of war were also filled with the smell of primitive tribes. A strange chariot of bones, metal, and leather with an ejection tool at the rear. The ejection tool now flickered with flames, and as they bounced into the air, the flames were thrown high into the air, and they followed a parabola and whistled towards the wastelands around Allen and behind him.

The sky was like a meteor shower.

The fire landed barely on the ground and exploded repeatedly! The nearest ball of fire was less than three meters away from Alan, and the blast of the explosion sent him flying from the edge of the tree. The strange tree he was hiding in was even more brushed by the flames, and it immediately ignited with a boom, like a giant torch stabbed into the ground! The flames exposed Alan to the night. The Saber Demon with the vertical banner on his back opened his eyes and shouted loudly in Alan's direction.

Alan shook his dizzy head and stood up. Under the flames, one could clearly see that behind the Berserk Wolf Knights were the Saber Demon infantry that were advancing like a tide. They were the basic arms of the tribe. One or two wasn't a threat, but if they were to gather in groups, with five or six hundred people like now, Alan knew exactly what kind of signal bullets he should fire.

Allen turned around and ran when the red fireworks came out of the signal gun and reached a height of a hundred meters. Behind him, the wolf howled repeatedly. Alan turned around and saw dozens of Wild Wolf Knights galloping towards him like a whirlwind.

When he saw the red fireworks, Kejess's expression tightened. He shouted, "Pack your things and prepare to leave."

He looked at Beast Fang Mountain, which was hidden behind him in the night. The only solution was to retreat to the mountain peak. The red signal represented the large number of enemies. If they were intercepted on the ground, they wouldn't be able to return to the base. Kejess Wuxia paid attention to why a large number of enemies had suddenly appeared. Only after saving her life would she have time to think about these questions.

While ordering the soldiers to tidy up and evacuate, Kejess anxiously looked at the wasteland in front of him.

Why hasn't Alan returned yet?

A howl!

Alan, who was running in a straight line, suddenly slid sideways, allowing a short metal spear to brush past him and stab into the ground. The tail of the short spear was still trembling non-stop. One could tell that the opponent's throwing power could not be underestimated.

His eyes flashed as he rode forward, clinging to Ellen. Although Allen's speed wasn't slow, the opponent's rider was a wild horned wolf that came and went like the wind. This advantage was naturally equalized. The Saber Demon on the Horned Wolf's hands split into two strange spears. A cold light flashed in the knight's eyes. The spear craftily stabbed towards Alan's waist. The spear's body reflected a streak of fire, while the other short spear quietly stabbed into Alan's chest.

If Alan only knew how to dodge the spear, he would definitely be injured by the short spear. From this, it could be seen that these knights were far from being comparable to knights of the same level from small tribes.

Allen's eyes lit up as origin energy surged and whistled in his body, transforming into endless power for him to use.

The sharp saber was unsheathed and like a bolt of gray lightning, it instantly struck the tip of the enemy spear. The spear trembled violently, and it was almost out of the grasp of the Saber Demon due to the vibrating ability attached to the sharp-fanged bone saber. The Saber Demon cried out in alarm. He watched as the spear was suppressed by the bone blade and blocked the short spear. With a loud sound, the Saber Demon's attack was useless. Alan took the opportunity to dodge onto the back of the wolf and kick the Saber Demon off the wolf.

The knight was also capable. He immediately stabbed his spear backwards and pointed it at Alan's throat.

Alan leaned back and crossed his legs around the Saber Demon's waist. With a twist, he rolled down the horned wolf with the Saber Demon. The Saber Demon Spear rolled out of his hand and rolled twice on the ground before bouncing back, only to see Allen get up a bit faster than him. The Bone Saber and Moon Wheels fell, and the saber force continued to attack. He could only take the defensive stance and brandish his short spear to defend himself. Ding dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang. He looked at his chest in astonishment, but it was Alan who had pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his heart.

The Abyss Devil praised frantically/drew blood energy, and the Saber Devil's entire body softened. Allen waved his bone knife and cut off the head. Then, he kicked the headless corpse away.

The other rider rushed forward and turned around to pounce back. The Wolf Saber Demon waved its chain hammer and roared at Alan.

Alan retracted his dagger and faced it with his saber in both hands. When they were three meters away from the Wolf Cavalry, they soared into the sky, and the bone blade was wrapped in roaring flames. Then, they pulled out a flaming moon and chopped it down. The Saber Demon threw out the chain hammer and struck Flaming Moon, but the chain was bent like a snake. The hammer landed on the left side of the ground, causing the Saber Demon's body to tilt. It watched in horror but helplessly as Flaming Moon descended, hitting its body.

The Saber Demon on the wolf was chopped off by Alan's Flaming Moon Slash, turning into a ball of fire that landed on the ground. Alan landed on the Berserk Horned Wolf and gathered his strength. This clamp force suddenly appeared, almost breaking the horned wolf's soft abdomen. The horned wolf was in pain and shook its body to throw Alan off.

Behind him, the wolf howled again and the other wolf riders chased after him.

Alan stabbed the wolf's thigh with his sharp fangs. Feeling the threat of death, the horned wolf did not dare to resist. Ellen reached out and grabbed the horned wolf by the neck. He fiercely twisted the horned wolf in the direction of the village.

The Wolf Cavalry chased after him.

Seeing the village in sight, everyone on the Wolf Cavalry suddenly had their heads blown open and fell off the wolf. Only then did the sound of a sniper rifle resound, but it was the sniper Coggess had set up nearby to help Alan finish off the pursuers. The Wolf Cavalry stopped at the back and gathered in the direction of the large army.

Alan rode a wolf to the village entrance, and he rushed up fiercely. At the same time, he kicked the head of the wolf. The Origin Energy exploded, crushing the Horned Wolf's skull, killing the giant wolf, and Alan landed on the ground. Kejess stepped forward and helped him up. "What's going on?" He asked anxiously.

"More than 200 Berserk Wolf Knights and 500 to 600 Blade Demon Infantry are heading in this direction." Alan replied with a bitter smile.

"So many!" Kejess was shocked. Only a medium-sized tribe of a thousand men possessed this level of strength. He pulled Ellen and said, "Forget it. Get out of here."

When they retreated to one of the Beast Fang Mountain peaks, they saw that they were already surrounded by the Blade Demon army. The Saber Demon began to march towards the mountain path, but it was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it sealed off the mountain peak where the Federation army was located. Under the night sky, a group of wolf riders left without knowing where they had gone. "Is there any way to contact the base?" Coggess shouted as he put down his binoculars.

A messenger shook his head and said, "The information relay on our transport vehicle has been damaged and we are unable to contact the base at the moment."

"Then I can only hope that Colonel Berry finds something unusual and sends his troops to save him." Kejess narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy troops below the mountain path. "Stand by and check your weapons. Prepare to fight at any time. Damn it, I would have brought more ammunition with me."

The goal of their mission this time was to eliminate a small tribe, so they naturally didn't have much ammunition on them. In the previous battle, he had already used up a portion of it, but now, what was left was far from enough to support a thousand-man battle.

After Allen rested for a while, his Origin Energy body had almost recovered. He walked over and said, "Is it possible to break out of the encirclement?"

"Difficult." Keoghes shook his head and said, "The number of enemies is several times more than ours. Even the hundreds of infantry are enough to drag us along, not to mention the Wolf Cavalry." If their commanders are smart enough, they can deliberately let us down the mountain and then form a siege by several times our strength. If we were to be sliced apart by a highly mobile Wolf Cavalry, we would never be able to survive if we were to be defeated one by one. "

As the wind blew by, Alan felt that the night was exceptionally cold.
