Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 185: Wind Rise

Alan climbed up an iron tree and used the strange dense branches to conceal his figure. He picked up his exquisite binoculars and saw a few wooden stakes erected by the campfire in front of him. Three Federation soldiers were hanging from them on the verge of death. A Saber Demon was using a sharp knife to dig out large muscles from the chest of one of the soldiers, and then handed them over to a thin Saber Demon beside the campfire.

The Devil Cultivator bit off a small piece of raw meat with his mouth, threw it into the campfire, and then shouted. The surrounding Saber Demons raised their weapons and shouted. Then, they rushed towards the soldiers, using their weapons to cut off pieces of flesh and blood from the soldiers' bodies.

The scene was unbearable.

Alan almost shattered the telescope. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and carefully slide down the tree trunk.

Sneak back.

When he arrived at the place where the floating car was stored, Mo De had already arrived early. His eyes were red and his chest was heaving. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Look what those bastards did!"

Alan was silent. A moment later, everyone else came back. Everyone was furious. Alan immediately contacted the base and reported the coordinates. After finishing the notes, Coggess said, "Come back immediately and don't alert them."

"Yes, sir." Alan finished his communication and looked at the others. "Let's go back to the base first. We won't be able to do anything by ourselves."

That was the truth. There were at least three tribes gathered in that camp, with a total of more than three thousand people. Allen and the others were unable to flip out of the storm, and their anger was unbearable, but they could only leave quietly in their floating vehicles.

It was already morning when he rushed back to Blood Eagle Base overnight. After Allen and the other sergeants reported to Keoghes, they were ordered to go back and rest. Berry, on the other hand, contacted the directors of Ejo and Nero bases by telematics.

"Colonel Berry, are you saying that there are three demon tribes gathered in the Ironwood Hills?" Colonel Downey, the director of the base, was a middle-aged man with a big back and a small beard. His jade-green eyes revealed a serious expression.

Colonel Berry clasped his hands and nodded, "That's true, as far as our men know." Gentlemen, the Ironwood Hill is right in the middle of our three bases. It's the only way for us to travel. The Blade Demon Tribe chose to gather at this place. From what I see, it was no accident. Instead, it had some sort of plan. I also informed you a few days ago that one of the tribal armies had appeared on the wind eroded wasteland. If there was one, there would be two, three! If the tribal coalition attacked any of our bases, our losses would be imaginable. "

"Then, Colonel, do you have any good suggestions?" Colonel Antoine was fooled by Berry in his youth, but his image was refined. She had a head of light brown hair and a pair of glasses on her straight nose. He was the person in charge of the Nile base, and he was cautious and meticulous by nature.

Colonel Bailey took two steps back and a tactical deduction platform rose from the ground. The complete terrain around the Ironwood Hills had been projected on the platform, and the tribal camp had been simulated using his brain at the coordinates reported by Allen. Colonel Berry said in a deep voice, "Look, this is the camp where the Blade Demon Tribe is located." The Ironwood Hills are located to the southwest of our base. According to our records. Every five to six months, there would be monsoon winds blowing from the northeast to the southwest. Monsoon winds were fierce, and when the wind was the strongest, it could even blow people down. Counting the time, the monsoon season was almost here. We intend to set fire to the forest in this area when the wind blows. The two of you also know that the Ironwood Tree is dry and flammable. At that time, the wind-assisted fire will surely trigger a fire that will spread throughout the entire hill. "

Colonel Antoine's eyes shone brightly as he said, "If the fire enters the forest, it will force the enemy to retreat southwest. It would be wonderful if our alliance with Colonel Downey ambushed at the exit of the hill at this time."

"That's right, I can't help but want to see the astonished expressions of these Saber Devils." Colonel Downey rubbed his fists and said, "Berry, you can lead this operation. There's no need to wait for death to spread among them. By the time they arrive, maybe we're already cleaning up the battlefield."

Berry held onto the tactical platform and leaned forward. "So, this plan is called Wind Rise!"

A strong wind blew past!

Alan exhaled and narrowed his eyes as he looked towards the southwest. On the rooftop of the dormitory building, one could vaguely see the outline of the Ironwood Hill. There were three tribes of Saber Demons hiding there. However, after returning to the base for the past two days, there had been no movement from above. Every time he thought of the Federation soldiers being dismembered and killed by the Saber Demon, devouring their flesh and drinking their blood, it was as if a flame was burning in their chests.

He finally understood why Coggess would say that there was no compromise on the chaotic battlefield. Only when one side was exterminated would the war stop. Saber Demon Ogres, while humans burn Saber Demon blood. It was unknown when the hatred between the two sides had been buried, but the only thing that was certain was that. This resentment would only grow deeper and deeper, unable to be resolved.

There is no justice in war, only a stand.

"You're here." Coggess's voice sounded from behind.

Alan turned his head in surprise. The major used his robotic arm to gently press the hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Kejess looked in the same direction and said softly, "The wind is rising."

Allen said, "Has the wind ever stopped?"

"That's right, there are only winds blowing in this direction, but not often, right?" Kejess said calmly.

Ellen stretched out and felt the wind coming towards him. He nodded and said, "Indeed, the wind was blowing from other directions. Why did the wind today become from the northeast? Is this the monsoon?"

"Almost. Only in May and June of every year will there be such a wind direction." Keoghes lowered his head and said, "So this is also the time for us to act."

"You mean?"

"As you can imagine, we have already planned a joint operation with the other two bases. The code name of the operation is Wind Rise." Keoghes snorted coldly, "The wind rises just to wait for the wind to change. Alan, your team has been included in tomorrow's battle sequence. Remember to rest early today and do a big job tomorrow!"

Alan straightened his body and clenched his fists against his chest. "Yes sir."

Keoghes smiled and waved his hand. Alan left happily. He wanted to tell the others the good news.

These past few days, Wilick and the others had been holding back their anger.

Now was finally the time to vent!

Previously, Allen's team had lost five soldiers in the battle of the Wind Eroded Wilderness, but now they had all made up for it. The newly arrived soldiers did not have the same doubts about Alan as Nazi and the others before. If they could survive the battle at Beast Fang Mountain without dying, Alan's strength would naturally no longer be so stupid as to be doubtful. Moreover, there were also such fierce people as William and Bloy in the squad, and the recruits were proud to be assigned to this squad.

Allen returned to his dormitory and announced Feng Qi's action. Everyone's mood was high and they wished they could immediately set off to fight the Saber Demon. Of course, this was impossible. Alan sat quietly for a night, refining his Origin Energy. By the time they gathered the next day, he was already in his best condition.

At sunrise, the gate to Blood Eagle Base opened and trucks carrying soldiers drove out of the base. Colonel Berry sent out a thousand soldiers, including nearly a hundred non-commissioned officers and three major officers. Only Major Luda and the 400-odd men were left behind. Apart from the transport trucks, the convoy was also equipped with two all-terrain land-based war chariots. The colonel was still in his off-road vehicle and left with the convoy.

The chariot dragon came to a halt fifty kilometers away from the Ironwood Hill. The two land chariots and a hundred soldiers each spread out on both sides of the hill. The main force got off the chariot and walked, advancing towards the hill in a hurry. By evening, the hills were in sight, and Berry gave the order. The Special Forces were the first to press down on the hills, and the hundred soldiers were all armed with flamethrowers. A group of ten arrived at the hill under the unified command of their respective sergeants. They then shot out raging fire dragons and ignited all the Ironwood Trees on the northeast side.

Instantly, the flames soared into the sky, and even the sky was dyed bloody red. Monsoon winds from the rear continued to spread the fire southwest, quickly burning down half of the hills. Together, the fire represented the official start of the battle. At this moment, the two base troops that were already on standby on the other side of the hill had already cleared out a fire belt, waiting for the Saber Demon to come out and die.

Waiting was undoubtedly a torment, and the soldiers of the base had put in all their strength to fight. Fortunately, they hadn't waited for too long before they began to see Saber Demons being chased out of the hills by the fire. Seeing this, the commander of the base immediately issued an order to attack. As a result, the sound of gunfire could be heard from the other side of the hill in the northeast of Berry.

The battle began, but it also ended very quickly. Berry frowned when he saw the green signal flare up in the southwest night sky. However, he still had two land vehicles on standby fire with lime bullets to extinguish the fire. After more than an hour, the fire in the hills was suppressed. When the wind blew away the smoke, Berry began to let the main troops into the hills. For some reason, his heart was overshadowed by a layer of shadow.

The battle came too smoothly and ended faster than he had expected.

Alan followed his men deeper into the hills, arriving at the camp he had discovered that day. The camp was almost completely burned, leaving behind many remains. There were only a handful of Saber Demon corpses in the camp. It seemed that Saber Demon knew the right time to retreat. Not long after, Colonel Antoine and Colonel Downey brought their men to meet up. As soon as he met Berry, Colonel Antoine said in a low voice, "This could be a trap."

Colonel Berry's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What's the situation?"

"The number of Saber Demons we've intercepted is abnormally small. According to our post-war statistics, there are less than 200 of them!" Colonel Antoine sighed, "I'm afraid the Blade Demon Tribe had already left before we arrived, leaving behind only the troops to deal with the aftermath."

"If that's the case, where did they go?" Said Colonel Bailey with a frown.

It was night, and the wind was strong. At night, the temperature of the Nether Domain Planet plummeted. The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, and even the sentry on duty did not want to be exposed to it all night. Luther rubbed his numb hands and blew a mouthful of hot air back to the sentry post. The room temperature in the sentry post warmed his body. He then looked at his partner and saw that he was already asleep against the corner of the wall.

"Jerry, this isn't good. If Sergeant Louis sees it, I'll get scolded too." Luther patted his partner on the shoulder angrily, not wanting his partner to fall to the ground with a weak body. Only then did Luther realize that his partner's body was covered in blood!
