Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 206: Revenge

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Lucy asked, and Wilick and Bloy were watching from behind.

Alan and Catherine looked at each other and shook their heads. "It's useless to talk about it now," Catherine said. "Let me give you a tutorial on the reconnaissance team."

The so-called "possibility", the two of them had different ideas. Catherine thought of Alan who drank the king snake's blood, and Alan thought of the devil's praise. Both of these were "interests" that the two of them could think of that far surpassed the "interests" of the Sequence or the New Party struggle. Naturally, such a topic should not be brought up for discussion in the current situation.

"The so-called reconnaissance team is responsible for the frontline investigation of enemy strongholds, reconnaissance forces and even plotting the terrain, confirm the route of the advance of a series of special organization. The reconnaissance team did not rely on combat, but their mortality rate was not much lower than that of the vanguard battalion. That was because the reconnaissance team's area of responsibility was usually unknown, or the Federation had very little intelligence. The dangers of investigating such places are often unknown. When exposed, it was often because there were no reinforcements. If they could not escape, they would only die in battle. "Catherine looked at Allen and the others and coughed softly." Although the scouting team is dangerous, it is better than directly entering the vanguard battalion. " There is only one rule for the vanguard battalion. Once they launch their charge, there will be no way back. They will either open the enemy's city gates or die on the way. "

"If you don't bring it up, will Russen throw us into the vanguard camp?" Alan asked.

Catherine nodded. "Nine times out of ten, you should know that it's the best way to assess your'interests' in a short period of time."

William looked at the two and sighed, "I don't understand what you're talking about anymore. What do you think, big man?"

Broyle crossed his chest with both hands, closed his eyes, and had a deep expression on his face. William narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, you're not listening at all, are you?"

"What do you know about things you don't understand? Besides, I'm not good at analyzing things like this." Broy said, taking it for granted.

"Anyway, you should survive the reconnaissance first. Your teacher will probably have to react in a few days. I heard that the interstellar defense line has been attacked by aliens again." Catherine looked at Alan and said.

Ellen clenched his fists and said, "The teacher will be fine, so we just need to live until she arrives."

The secret tunnel, five kilometers long, traverses the Alexandria Mountains to a secret outpost in the Alex Plains where death spreads. The sentinel was built under a concealed hill, and the entrance was disguised as a mountain. Faults are hard to detect unless they are intentional. The head of the sentinel, and also the leader of the scouting team, Lieutenant Gossa, was a man in his thirties. Beneath his short, light brown hair was a lean face. A long, slanted scar cut across his left eyebrows, eyes, and cheeks. It was said that it was caused by a general who had almost cut off his head during a certain mission.

"Major General Catherine, why are you here personally?"

Seeing Catherine jump off the truck, Second Lieutenant Gossa thought his eyes were blurred. Death was a notoriously ruthless character. Reaper Catherine had actually come to this bird-shit frontline sentry post. No one would believe it even if she said it out loud. Second Lieutenant Gossa was a little excited. After all, there were very few women here, especially beautiful women like Catherine.

The moment would be even better without recalling the horrors of Catherine.

"This is Sergeant Allen. I'll leave them to you, Second Lieutenant Gossa." Catherine ignored the excitement on the lieutenant's face and pointed backwards.

Alan jumped out of the car, and William and the others who were following behind him also got off one after another. Second Lieutenant Gossa nodded and said, "We have been notified by the headquarters. That's great. We are short of manpower. It's really timely for us to have new recruits. Eh, are there any more female soldiers?"

Said Second Lieutenant Gossa in surprise as his gaze fell on Lucy. Catherine stood forward and said, "Miss, it's not on the list. You can take it as a holiday."

Holiday? Second Lieutenant Gossa was a little doubtful whether he had heard wrongly, what kind of place was this, at the entrance to the Alex Plains. To the southwest was one of the ten Saber Fiend Tribes, a border camp of the Iron Hoof Tribe. Apart from that, God knows how many other tribal strongholds there are on Alex. Soon, this plain would become a battlefield. Lieutenant Gossa didn't think it was a good place to spend a holiday.

But from the looks of it, Catherine came here specifically to protect this girl. No matter how stupid Second Lieutenant Gossa was, he knew that he was definitely not a high-ranking person he could come into contact with. He could also be a disciple of a wealthy aristocrat. Catherine took the trouble, anyway, and it was none of his business to wander about in the heart of the fire.

"Let's familiarize them with the sentinel today." Catherine said.

"Well " Gossa laughed dryly. "Actually, there is an urgent reconnaissance mission. If they have no problem, I hope the three of you can set off immediately."

Catherine did not want to appear too intimate with Ellen. She shrugged and said, "You are the person in charge of this place, so it is up to you."

Gossa looked at Ellen, although Broy looked older than the others. However, the Highlanders and Wilick were standing behind Ellen, and it was clear who was in the higher position. Alan nodded, "We can leave at any time."

"That's great. Follow me." Gossa looked at Catherine and said, "Major General, please feel free to visit."

He could not think of anything to visit a simple sentinel, but there was no better wording. After Catherine nodded, Gossa left with Alan and the others. They entered the second lieutenant's office. In a very simple room, there was a topographic map spread out on a table in the middle. Alan glanced at it. This was a terrain diagram. It needed to be modified before it could be input into the brain to create a body model.

Second Lieutenant Gossa used his hand to flatten the slightly wrinkled map and drew a circle in a corner with a red brush, "According to our observations, the Iron Hoof Tribe has been very active recently." Logically speaking, winter was the season Saber Demon disliked the most. If not necessary, they would not choose to move at this time. The information that the scouts brought back from earlier indicated that all of this might be in preparation for attacking the Shadow Stronghold, but we do not know the exact route of the enemy or the location of the military station. Therefore, the most recent task is to figure out the situation in this area. We have already scouted the surroundings. "However, there are still not enough manpower. Your arrival can be considered as a solution to my urgent need."

"If you have no problem, I need the three of you to head to the coordinates immediately. Remember, our mission is not to fight, but to observe and record. Bring back the information we need, and you will have done a great job."

Then, he gave Alan the coordinates of the reconnaissance site. Gossa said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll prepare food and water for you for three days, as well as other necessities."

After leaving Alan and the others in his office, Gossa arrived at the warehouse and turned around to enter the communication station at the back. Gossa closed the door and said, "Get me Major Luda."

Moments later, Gossa saw Luda on the communication screen. The second lieutenant winked at the messenger, who knew how to leave. Gossa said, "Major, they're here."

"Very good. Have you given them the coordinates?" Luda asked.

"Yes, but " Gossa hesitated. "It's a border stronghold of the Iron Hoof Tribe. If we go "

"That's none of your business, Gossa. Just do as I say. If these three guys dare to cause trouble for me, I'm just teaching them a lesson." '"Or are you not going to be transferred back to the stronghold?" Said Major Luda with a ferocious expression.

"Of course not. I don't want to stay in a place like this for another minute." Second Lieutenant Gossa said nervously, "Then how long will it take for the major to transfer me back after this matter is settled?"

"Don't worry, you'll be back in ten days at most, and a month at most. Good job, Gossa. But don't let Catherine know about this."

After the communication ended, Gossa sighed and said, "Don't blame me. If you want to blame me, blame you for offending Major Luda."

He left the communication station and went to the warehouse to collect the backpacks for three people. He then returned to his office and handed the items to Alan. Allen and the others checked themselves and confirmed their equipment and supplies before preparing to set off. When he saw Lucy at the entrance, Ellen nodded and said, "We're going on a mission. We should be back in two or three days. Stay here."

Lucy said unwillingly to Catherine, "Can't I go with you?"

"It's just a reconnaissance mission. There's no danger. Your Highness, stay here." Catherine said calmly, "Otherwise, if you follow the general's orders, I will have to follow in order to protect you. If the Saber Demon finds out that a major general of the Federation has intruded into their territory, it will definitely cause a series of unforeseen events. If His Highness insists, then I can only use some necessary means."

Lucy gritted her teeth and said, "You're a threat."

"It's better than the consequences," Katherine said, spreading her hands.

Alan shook his head. "Stay with the major general."

"Alright then." Lucy said helplessly.

The three of them left the sentry post and walked along the rugged mountain path towards the entrance to the Alex Plains. On the way, Welik reluctantly said, "Could it be that we've been led by the nose by that one-eyed dragon like this?"

"Be patient." "That's the only thing we can do for the time being," said Allen. "After all, we're at a disadvantage. And Catherine's keeping Lucy is both a protection and a threat."

"I thought that beauty was on our side," Welik said in surprise.

Ellen shook her head. "Catherine is not that simple. For now, it's true that she leans a little towards us. But in the end, she will only stand on her side."

"Looks like I can only obediently obey orders." William sighed.

"Not necessarily." Allen laughed, "Although it's dangerous to be transferred to the scouts, the good thing is that Luson can't see so far away. In order for us to live long enough, I think it's necessary to create some trouble for Luson and the spread of death."
