Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 187: The Mountain Region Thought to Itself,

Communication over.

Berry waved his hand and said, "Major Luda, if you are injured, go down and rest."

"Thank you, Colonel." Luda smiled.

After he left, Downey, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke out. The colonel roared, "This is too hateful! What is it? First, we are going to execute our men, and then we are going to send the Border Army to us. This old fox Russen is such a scheming fox. The main force did not move, and he also fulfilled the wartime treaty of the Union Army. He did not leave a single word behind!"

"The people from the old party are not simple, let alone someone like Russen who has rolled around in the bureaucracy and the military for half a lifetime. How can they be easy to deal with?" Colonel Antoine pointed at the frame and said, "What's interesting is his attitude towards Sergeant Allen. I'm the first one who doesn't believe that he doesn't know Allen's identity."

"He's testing our bottom line and Marshal's attitude towards Alan." Colonel Berry said with his hands behind his back, "If we don't protect Alan, it means that Alan has nothing to do with Marshal." At that time, Russen could use his saber against our people to show his might. Deeper, he would sow discord between Bethcodt and Sirius. Just like Antoine said, Russen was not simple. We are on the same battlefield as him, so we need to be careful. "

"I thought there was an agreement between the marshal and the old party. It seems that's not the case." Downey shook his head.

Colonel Antoine said calmly, "In the end, the Capulus will only cooperate with us. Unless they want to be called colluding with an alien, they have no other choice. But before the time comes, we can foresee a series of actions by the old party to probe and even counter the situation that we've been suppressing them in the past."

"So, we have to do our job. At least on this Underworld planet, we can't give Russen any more words to impeach Marshal. Otherwise, the situation will only get worse." Berry suddenly smiled and said, "The old party probably won't dare to push things too far. After all, our Marshal is Windsor Belo, not Capulo."

Antoine and Downey also smiled at each other.

Perhaps because of the situation, Windsor Belo would choose to cooperate and even make some concessions and compromises. But if the old party went too far, God knows what crazy things Windsor Belo would do.

She never plays by the rules.

Most importantly, Sirius was willing to go crazy with her. These people would gather together, not because she was a marshal, but because she was Windsor Belo!

"We need to find someone to talk to Alan and the others." Colonel Antoine said carefully, "I think General Russen's play will create some unnecessary psychological obstacles for them."

Berry nodded, "There's one person who's quite suitable."

Alan's fingers were still shaking as he walked back to the camp tent and sat on the iron bed. He couldn't tell what it smelled like in his heart, as if there was fear, anger, helplessness Several emotions mixed together. It was the first time Allen had experienced the feeling of helplessness that his life was not under his control when the judgment was handed down on them by Rousseau.

If it weren't for the Colonels stepping forward, he would have been executed by now.

Death was a word that Alan was no stranger to. Alan has been in touch with too much about death since he came to his senses. Lanny's death, Bai Fang's death, and even himself were on the verge of death many times. But at the very least, in the face of that kind of death crisis, he could risk his own life.

Just now, the situation was completely different.

Allen faced not only Major Luda and his soldiers, but also Russen, the spread of death, or even another force behind it that could contend against Windsor Belo.

Capulo!

This was the first time Alan felt his own insignificance and powerlessness in front of such a colossus.

His fingers trembled slightly. Even if he clenched his fists, he would not be able to calm the tremors that originated from the depths of his heart.

"Are you afraid?" A voice rang out from outside the tent, and Coggess followed suit. "It's normal to be scared when faced with powerful and irresistible forces. It's only when you're scared that you see your own insignificance and see what you want to surpass, isn't it?"

"A goal to surpass?" Alan raised his head.

'"If you're scared, then go all out and get stronger and surpass what you're scared of. Oh, that's not what I said. That's what your teacher Marshal Windsor Bellow said before we left for Nether Domain. We didn't know anything about the Blade Demon back then. We were both excited and scared. That's how the Marshal taught us."

"She also said that fear is not shameful. If you do not dare to face your own fear and choose to retreat, then you will be called a coward." The major shrugged and said, "We were about to set off. To be honest, we were terribly nervous. But after hearing what the marshal said, we swore that even if we were to die in battle, we shouldn't let her look down on us."

"We are not cowards!"

After saying that, Kejess lit a cigarette and silently retreated.

His fists were still clenched, but his fingers were no longer trembling. Alan didn't know if he was inspired by Coggess' explanation or by Windsor Bellow's words. He was sure that his fear was fading away and his body was revitalized. He clenched his fists and let out a long breath. Suddenly, a light flashed and Alan rushed out of the tent.

Curtis hasn't gone far yet.

"Major!" Shouted Alan.

Coggess turned to look at him and smiled, "What, sergeant? Are there any doubts?"

Allen smiled and shook his head. "High General Luson has taken away my rank."

"That's not a problem. It won't be difficult to fight a few battles, accumulate some merit points, and regain your rank."

"No, I'm not here to discuss this with you. It's a passageway, Major." Ellen pointed towards Blood Hawk Highland. "Remember when the dangerous species attacked the base playground through underground tunnels? I think those tunnels can be used!"

Kejess's eyes lit up and he slapped Allen hard. "Come with me, good boy. I'll see that you can return to your military post after this battle."

They dragged him back to the tent of several colonels in Berry, and the three correctors gathered around the tactical platform to discuss the matter of recapturing the base. Seeing Kejess and Alan come in, Berry looked at the latter first. Seeing Allen's bright and clear eyes, the colonel nodded and said, "Kejess, your psychological intervention is not bad."

"Colonel, Alan thought of a possibility." "The tunnels, the tunnels created by the Earth Drilling Bugs. We can use them to enter the base and catch the Saber Demon off guard," Coggess said.

Colonel Berry smiled at the two people behind him. Looking at their looks, Coggess said, "So you've thought of it too."

"I just thought of it, but it's not bad for Alan to be able to think of this." Berry reached out and hugged their shoulders, pushing them to the tactical arena. On the cost-effective projection of the tactical platform, a three-dimensional map of the Hemorrhagic Hawk Highland was constructed. There were some complicated lines on the model of the highland. Berry pointed to the lines and said, "These are the tunnels dug out by the Earth Drilling Bugs in the highlands. We've thought about it. There are tunnels, but they can't be marched on a large scale, and they're so easy to detect by the Blade Demons. So we need to use our best men to sneak in and grasp some of the strategic points of the base, such as the control room of the weapons platform."

Colonel Antoine stretched out his hand to press the projection model and transferred it to Blood Eagle Base. After a series of operations, a three-dimensional model of the Saber Demon appeared on the outskirts of the base. "Right now, the Saber Demon's troops are basically gathered outside the base to guard against our attack. We've just discussed and decided to send a team of elite soldiers into the base through the underground passageway to seize the control room of the weapons platform. In turn, we will control the platform to attack the Saber Demons outside the base. At the same time, we will be able to inflict heavy losses on the Saber Demons if we launch an attack," said the colonel.

Allen clenched his fists and said, "Colonel, I wish I could join the operation."

'"Of course not. Ellen, you and Ye Feng are the candidates we want. Colonel Kejess and Colonel Antoine will also participate. With the two of them here, you can restrain a general or chief of the Saber Demon level." Berry blinked and said, "This is a chance to make a contribution, you know?"

"Yes, sir!" Alan replied, knowing that Berry had done this on purpose, so that they could make a contribution to the battle and restore the rank that Russen had deprived them of.

The battle was set at night.

In the evening, a group of people left the camp. Under the leadership of Colonel Antoine and Coggess, six people, including Allen, drove out of the camp. Eight floating vehicles circled the front of the base and approached from behind the Blood Hawk Highlands after the Underworld's sun set.

Although there were many Saber Demons, they had just arrived and were not familiar with the environment of the Blood Hawk Highlands. It was for this reason that Colonel Berry decided to act immediately, without waiting for reinforcements from the Border Army and the other two bases to arrive. Otherwise, if the Saber Demons were to figure out their surroundings, their surprise attack plan would not work.

A strong monsoon blew from behind the base, confusing Blade Demon's vision and creating a favorable environment for Allen's group. Curtis had already found a hole at the foot of the mountain that was blocked by sand and rocks. After cleaning up the cave, the team entered the cave and extended deeper into the cave. It was one of the tunnels leading to the base. Allen and the others used fluorescent sticks as illumination. They could see the passageway being dug out by the drill stones, as well as the traces of knife ants marching.

After Allen and the others entered the passageway, Colonel Bailey also began to organize his army to pretend to attack. Looking down from Blood Eagle Base, it wasn't hard to see teams of Federation troops leaving the camp in an orderly manner. Two All-Ground Marine Chariots also charged towards the high ground, and a Saber Demon appeared on the defensive wall. The Devil Cultivator wore armor made purely of the bones of a giant beast. These bone helmets fitted perfectly on his body, resembling an exoskeleton armor.

He pulled out a strange bone saber that was wide in front and narrow in back, pointed it at the Federation Army, and shouted loudly in the language of the Saber Demon. The Saber Demon warriors outside the base immediately raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and they continued to advance towards the mountain path. Meanwhile, the rows of Saber Demon Chariots had already begun firing artillery shells at the Federation Army.

As the first fireball landed at the foot of the mountain, sparks splashed everywhere, thus opening the prelude to tonight's war.
