Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 205: Unfathomable Depth

Luda dressed neatly and walked towards General Russen's office with a smile on his face. Along the way, whoever met him, as long as they weren't blind, would see the major's face full of spring. Major Luda felt good about himself. This time, he had done a great job!

If he hadn't notified Russen in time, how would the general have known about the Fire Fighting Rifle? It was a weapon of war that would have triggered an arms reform. If the Death Spreader could grasp this weapon and lay down the Inferno Geocentric, there was no need to wait for the Rose Empress Legion. The army of the other side would be able to reach the Abyss of the Smelt. At that time, the general would naturally not lose his benefits if he made a contribution.

At the very least, it shouldn't be a problem to be promoted to colonel, right?

Lu Da thought. The office was already in sight. After a feature scan, the brain confirms its identity and opens the automatic door. Luda strode into the office in a self-satisfied manner, saluted General Luson and said, "General, are you looking for me?"

Russen held his hands behind his back, one-eyed and calm, making it hard to see what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Major Luda, I need you to answer my next question clearly."

Lu Da was stunned. He looked at Supervisor Klein and the sketch on the table. He had an intuition that something was wrong. "May I ask what is the matter with the general?" He said cautiously.

"When you were at Blood Eagle Base, did you personally witness the power of the Fire Fighting Rifle? I need accurate data, including its Origin Energy requirements, firing times, and so on." Russen said in a deep voice. His pupils contracted slightly, his lips tightened, and his nostrils dilated. A series of subtle movements created a tremendous pressure out of thin air.

Lu Da's face started to sweat, saying, "This this I "

"Speak quickly!" Lu Sen shouted loudly, causing Kelin and Lu Da's eardrums to ache.

"I tried to enter the Sequence Workshop several times, but because this project is an internal secret of Sirius, I was rejected because of identity restrictions. However, from the information I heard, there was not much discrepancy. I don't know " said the major hurriedly.

"Then have you seen the actual battle scene of the Blackfire Rifle with your own eyes?" Russen interrupted him.

Luda shook his head. "They had a few actual battles outside. I wanted to follow them, but the application was rejected by Colonel Berry."

"That is to say, in the absence of you personally saw the situation, some of the so-called intelligence handed over! Major Luda, judging from the current situation, the Flame Fighting Rifle may not be as useful as you said. As for this Alan, his talent was just average. If it was just to develop weapons of this level, Mr. Collin alone would be enough. Why would I risk offending Windsor Belo and Sirius to snatch them back? Russen shook his head and said, "Looks like I trusted you too much, but you disappointed me too much!"

"General, listen to me" Lu Da stepped forward and covered Russen's mouth with one hand.

The general's fingers kept shrinking, and Lu Da couldn't even break free, let alone speak. He could almost hear his skull chuckling, as if it would explode in the next moment. Fortunately, Russen loosened his grip and said in a low voice, "Get out of here!"

Lu Da didn't dare to say anything more and immediately left in disappointment. His expression was in a sorry state, completely different from when he came.

"General, does this sergeant want him to continue developing new sequences?" Colin tried to ask.

"Since you're a mediocre talent, what's the use of coming here!" Russen shook his head and waved his hand, "Go ahead, Mr. Collin. As for Alan, I have other plans."

"Yes, General." Colin lowered his head, a smile on his face.

How could a mountain tolerate two tigers?

Even if Allen didn't make a move in the series, Colin would devalue it to kick out someone who could threaten his position. Russen didn't know what he was thinking. Moreover, Allen had deliberately modified the data to make the Fiery Rifle look like a chicken rib. There was no need for Colin to add fuel to the fire rifle, which saved him a lot of effort.

After Colin left, Russen paced back and forth in the office. After a while, he pressed down a button. The automatic door opened and a blonde girl walked in. She was Russen's secretary, and the general looked up and said, "Go get Major General Catherine."

Katherine arrived for a moment, and Russen came in with his hands behind his back by the window. The general was already tall and large, and he was one of the strongest men in the Federation. Even if he wasn't in a state of imminent battle, his entire body's aura was restrained and he didn't release it. Even if it was just a back view, it still gave off an unfathomable feeling. Catherine had followed him for quite some time, but on second thought, she could not figure out what kind of person he was.

In the eyes of outsiders, Russen was brutal and bloodthirsty. Even in his old age, this impression was still the same as before. However, Catherine knew that if Russen really was such a person, he would not be able to sit in his current position, let alone possess Origin Energy that was only below a few people.

He was the leader of the four Commonwealth generals, only below the two Marshals and a few others.

Origin Energy tempering was a process of seeking inward. In the initial stage, people developed different Origin Energy and seals due to their different mentalities. However, as his Origin Energy level increased, he would be able to touch the depths of his soul and sense the various types of Origins at the source of the gene. That experience was far more wonderful than the power of the material world, money, or even love between men and women.

Often contact with high-level experts, the material needs and possessions are no longer as vigorous as before. However, most of the time, these people had indispensable responsibilities and obligations, so they still stayed in that position. However, such people were even more terrifying than those who were eager for profit, because what they did was often for the sake of pursuing a higher level.

For example, the incident of Lu Sen forcibly taking Allen away was apparently caused by the discord between the old and the new parties. But Catherine knew very well that this was definitely not the main reason. Capullo and Lu Sen's perceptions of "benefits" were far from ordinary people's perceptions. Even Catherine, who had stayed by Lu Sen's side for a long time, did not understand what they were truly pursuing.

Catherine believed that Windsor Belo would not understand that even though the two of them were on par with Russen in terms of Origin Energy, they were still too young.

Time accumulates experience, and if Windsor Belo ignores this, the outcome won't be too good.

Russen finally turned around, and Catherine returned to reality from her deep contemplation. The two of them remained silent in the office for five minutes before the major general asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"I was just wondering, what happened between Alan and you in the dormitory?" Russen suddenly said.

Katherine's eyes remained calm. "Do you need me to give you a detailed report?"

"No need. If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I might be interested in knowing the answer." Russen shook his head with a gentle expression that was rarely seen. However, it disappeared as if it was just an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a ruthless legion commander. "Catherine, do you think I should let Alan go back?"

Catherine looked at the general in confusion.

"Looks like I overestimated this kid," Russen said. "He's not as outstanding as the rumors say." He rubbed his chin and said, "Mr. Collin has already seen that the sequence he designed is completely useless. Either he is a mediocre genius, but there is one thing I care about. That little woman Windsor Belo is a little crazy, but her eyes are very poisonous. If Alan doesn't have much choice, why would she accept her as a student?"

"Sirius and Bescot have worked closely together, General." Catherine answered absentmindedly.

"Are you saying that Allen is just a pawn that facilitates the cooperation between the two?" Russen nodded, "That's not impossible. But now that I've captured him, he doesn't have the ability to design sequences. It's useless for me to keep him. But let him go "

"Transfer him to the scouting team." "The scouts are no less dangerous than the vanguard battalion," said Catherine. "Throw him there. First, we can have time to continue observing him. Second, we can assess his strength. The general can make the most accurate judgement."

Lu Sen's one-eyed eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea. Let's do it this way. You should inform them and bring them to the scouting team to report. I think that troubled His Highness will definitely follow her. You should be responsible for protecting her. As for the others, let her die on her own."

"If that brat dies in battle, it will only prove that Windsor Belo has no vision."

Catherine nodded and said, "I'll do it now."

When she left the office, Catherine spread out her hands, which were already stained with sweat.

"What? You suggest that the general throw us into the scouting regiment?"

A transport truck drove out of the stronghold on a bumpy wasteland, heading towards a secret tunnel dug out by the spread of death in the Alliance Mountains. In this large carriage, there were only Allen and Catherine.

Alan's expression turned unnatural when he heard that Catherine had offered to let Russen send his men to the scouting team. Catherine looked at her palm and said calmly, "If I don't do that, you'll all be killed." I'm pretty sure that if the general agrees to let you go back, he will try to kill you halfway. I am too familiar with him. When he has killing intent, he can't help but touch his chin. I've seen this many times. "

"But what good will it do him?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, I hope that your teacher won't underestimate Marshal Capulo or General Russen." Catherine looked up and said, "Before that, he asked us what happened in the dorm that day."

Lucy's ears twitched and her eyes widened as she looked over.

Alan said awkwardly, "He didn't ask me about it."

"He doubts me, though he never trusts me, or anyone in the legion. He trusts himself, and Marshal Capullo." '"But it's abnormal this time," Kathleen frowned. "He seems to care about you. So he doesn't want to let go of anyone close to you, including me. There was a feeling that if I didn't handle it well, it could be dangerous."

Lucy muttered, "That's abnormal indeed. From what you've said, it seems that the general's interest in Alan is still in the sequence, or even in overthrowing the New Party."

"Maybe it's just an excuse to want a fiery rifle or something." Lucy looked up and said, "Hey, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Alan looked at Catherine and said almost at the same time, "It's possible."
