Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 186: Federation General

Seeing his companion's corpse, Luther's mind rumbled. Immediately, the first thought sounded the alarm. Suddenly, something flowed out of his chest, causing his chest to feel bone-chilling cold. Luther lowered his head and saw a bone blade that was still dripping with hot blood piercing out of his chest. Suddenly, Luther retracted his hand, causing blood to gush out like a fountain. The soldier covered his chest and gasped for breath. The temperature of his entire body continued to drop, and the icy cold wrapped around his body like a poisonous snake.

Before he died, he saw a Blade Demon flash in front of him and twist the bone blade between his arms, causing the world to spin.

Seeing the sentinel's head fall to the ground, the demon laughed strangely. He pushed away the sentry post, and a white shadow approached in the night, but it was a mad horned wolf. The Saber Demon rolled over the wolf and left the sentry post at the foot of the high mountain. He sped towards the mountain path above. Behind him, the Berserk Wolf Knights appeared like ghosts from the darkness, running wildly with the wolves. A gray cloud rose from the foot of the mountain and spread over the Blood Hawk Highlands.

After the grey clouds, the flames gradually lit up. As the flames flickered, one could vaguely see the figures, flags, and strange war chariots of the densely packed Saber Demon Warriors. On the ejection member at the rear of the war chariot, balls of fire were weaving. Following that, the flames were ejected high into the sky, drawing parabolas in the night sky and landing on the sentry posts or open spaces of the mountain path, causing waves of continuous explosions!

The Blood Eagle Base immediately sounded an ear-piercing alarm. Major Luda, who heard the alarm, suddenly jumped out of bed. "What happened?" He shouted at the communicator on the wall while wearing his clothes.

"It's an attack, sir!" The communicator quickly responded, "Blade Demon's army is coming!"

"What?" Lu Da said crazily, "Why did you choose this time? Damn it!"

At the foot of the mountain, the Saber Demon Warrior shouted, surging towards the Blood Hawk Highlands like a tide. In front of them, a large number of Berserk Wolf Knights had displayed the destructive power and mobility of this type of weapon, and they had used the speed of lightning to uproot the mountain sentry posts one by one. They moved quickly and didn't give the base the slightest chance to react. With the help of the ground war chariot, the sentry post of the base was useless for a time.

At this moment, a powerful aura rose in the Saber Demon camp. These imposing auras originated from the generals and the three chiefs of the tribe. This made Lu Da, who had just arrived at the defensive wall of the base, feel that the major's expression changed drastically. Each of these auras had a level 20 combat power, and there were at least five Awakened level enemy experts. How could he fight this battle?

Lu Da immediately remembered that there seemed to be a small flying ship parked in the warehouse of Blood Eagle Base.

Once the base was surrounded, it would be the only tool that could escape this place!

Just as he was thinking this, the flames on his head lit up. It was the kind of flame cannonballs fired by the Saber Demon Chariot that flew into the air and landed on a high wall not far from the major. Immediately, it exploded, causing flames to splatter everywhere.

The enemy had already attacked the highlands and started attacking Blood Eagle Base.

Berry is clenching the steering wheel.

The carriage dragon returned to the Blood Hawk Highlands. The colonel had a very ominous feeling at this moment. After realizing that Saber Demon's main force had already withdrawn early in the morning, the three colonels contacted their bases to confirm the situation. However, only Blood Eagle Base could not be contacted. Berry immediately ordered the entire army to turn around and rush towards the base at full speed. Colonels Antoine and Downey were aware of the seriousness of the situation. They each brought some troops along with Berry, while the rest returned to the base in case the base did not have enough troops to allow the Blade Demon to take advantage of them.

By the time they saw the Blood Hawk Highlands from afar, it was already dawn. Berry used all of his vision in the car to see that there was a flash of fire in the direction of the Blood Hawk Highland, and smoke was rising. He knew that it was going to be bad. When they arrived near the highlands, a small airship took off from the base and quickly moved away. Berry slapped the steering wheel and said, "Luda, you bastard actually escaped."

Needless to say, there was only one major in the base who had the authority to fly airships.

The Blood Eagle Base had already fallen, and when they saw the mountain path in the highlands, it was a mess. The mountain road was blown up, and the sentry posts were reduced to ruins. There were saber demons moving about on the high ground, and Berry was sure of this. Federal troops gathered near the highlands. Berry quickly organized an exploratory attack. However, the Saber Demon's counterattack was intense, especially when the chariots that were already on the highlands bombarded the mountain path. After leaving behind dozens of corpses, one of the vanguards in charge of the attack returned with Lian Sha Yu.

Berry furrowed his brows. The logistics supply base did not have such an aerial combat unit as a mana flying ship. In each base, there was only a small airship left as a last resort. All the flying ships that could be used in battle were thrown into the front lines. As a result, only the ground troops could be used in Berry's hands. After the Blade Demon occupied the high ground, relying on the terrain, if they rashly attacked, they would only suffer heavy losses. Helplessly, Berry could only sit still and set up camp on the ground.

At noon, Major Luda returned with his flying ship. When he entered the command tent, Berry and the other two colonels were studying the tactics. Seeing Luda enter, Berry said in a low voice, "You still have the face to come back!"

'"Colonel Bailey, it's not that I'm afraid of death. It's that the enemy's attack is too fierce, and when I came to report to the base, High Lord Rousseau/General Rousseau had an order that life should be the priority. Fortunately, that's the case, otherwise, how could I bring any important information to the three of you?" Luda bowed with his left hand.

"Tell me, what happened last night?" Colonel Antoine asked calmly as he pulled his eyes at Berry, who was about to spit out fire.

"This is an attack." Major Luda said, "It is certain that there are three to four thousand men on the other side." With such a force, the 500 garrisons in our base won't be able to hold on. I'm sorry about the fall of the base, but I think the key is how to recapture it. Oh, right. I have reported this to Russen, who has requested a video communication with you. "

After saying that, he smiled and remained silent.

Berry snorted and called in the orderly to prepare the communication equipment. A moment later, a tablet brain was handed over to Berry. After the link's progress bar disappeared, a dignified old man appeared on the screen.

"High General Lu Sen." Berry nodded.

"En, turn on the projection function."

Berry did as he said. He placed his brain on the tactical platform and switched the projection function. On the screen, a bust of the general on Russen was immediately generated.

Marshal Russen was a soldier of Marshal Capullo's time, about the same age as Marshal Capullo, known as the Berserk Lion. After half a year of age, Shao Fa was born early. A head of gray hair was cut to about an inch long. On his face covered with wind and frost, his left eye was covered with a skull-shaped eye patch. He wore a cloak with a black fur collar on his shoulders, and under the cloak was the uniform of the Commander of the Death Communication Corps.

Even though it was only a holographic projection, the Russen General's gaze was still sharp. '"Colonel Bailey, you've lost your base. How disappointing! I wonder how Windsor Belo led you to let the Blade Demon take over our logistics base. If you tell anyone, they'll laugh to death!" He shouted coldly as he swept across the crowd.

"General, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Admiral Windsor Bellow!" Berry said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, of course it's your fault. Your fault is that you underestimated the natives of these planets. Major Luda has already given me a detailed report on the whole incident. The biggest omission in the whole incident was that you didn't ask anyone to keep an eye on the enemy, which led to the Blade Demon taking down the base this time!" Russen paused and said, "Call the sergeants from the Saber Demon Camp. I want to see them."

Berry frowned and said, "General, this doesn't seem necessary, does it?"

"Colonel Bailey, when I joined the army, you were probably just a child. So, do you think I need you to tell me what to do?" Russen's one-eyed shot out an intimidating aura.

Berry had no choice but to send for Alan and the others. Alan, Ye Feng, and Mo De entered the tent and felt that the atmosphere was heavy. Berry asked them to step forward and said, "This is General Russen."

The three of them hurriedly bowed.

'"The three of you failed to keep an eye on the enemy camp, causing one of our important logistics bases to fall. This is a first-class felony. I declare that the three of you will be executed immediately. Their subordinates will be sent to the vanguard battalion. Major Luda, execute immediately!" Luda nodded.

Allen and the others' minds went blank. They never imagined that Russen would actually sentence them to death. Major Luda waved his hand, and the few soldiers who came with him were about to come forward to pick them up. Berry suddenly shouted, "Who dares to come up!"

Downey snorted and went forward to protect Ellen and the others with Berry. Colonel Antoine pushed the glasses on his nose and looked at Lu Sen. "General, you're not doing the right thing. Isn't it a bit too much to charge him with a felony of the first rank?"

Berry also said, "General, Ellen and the others are just following our orders. It's not their fault. Also, Sergeant Ellen's teacher is Marshal Windsor Bellow, and Horn is his grandfather. If the general wants to execute him, have you considered how to explain it to Marshal and Bescord?"

'"Colonel Bailey, it seems that little girl Windsor Bellow has trained you well and dared to openly contradict your superiors. I'll treat you as a slap in the face to Marshal Greed and Old Horn. The death penalty is avoidable, but do you have any objections to their being stripped of their official titles and demoted to Private?" Russen nodded with his remaining right eyes shining brightly.

Berry snorted, and Antoine shook his head, signaling for him not to start a conflict at this time. Berry nodded and said, "It's all up to the general."

He turned around and said, "You guys, go down."

Alan took a deep look at Lu Sen before leaving with the other two. In the projection, Russen coughed dryly and said, "Alright, let's talk about the base." Colonel Bailey, we've been preparing to organize a second attack on Blazing Geocentric. You see, this matter is of great importance. At this moment, I think the Death Propaganda is powerless to send more troops to support you. "Moreover, the ones who took down the base were only some wandering and unstable outer demons. I don't think they can defeat the people from Sirius, right?"

The so-called exterior was the name given to the other tribes outside the Saber Demon Ten Tribes. Even though the outer demons couldn't compare to ten, it was clear that there were far more Saber Demons on the base than the Federation Army. Russen's actions were extremely unjust.

"Of course. No matter what, you and I are robes. I can't really stand by and watch. So, you see, I have already dispatched the Border Rong Army to reinforce them. They will arrive in about three days. At that time, you will be in charge." Russen spread out his hands and smiled.
