Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 675: Position

Everyone who was swept by Catherine's gaze had a dazed feeling. The weaker ones were even more shaky, almost fainting. They didn't know that Catherine used her gaze to exert her might to test the strength of everyone present. Most of the hundreds of people were able to withstand the pressure in her line of sight. Only a small portion of them were defeated by her aura, but they did not faint. It was truly rare.

There were also a few gazes that could sense Catherine's might and retaliate with awe. However, there was still a gap between them and Catherine, and they could not suppress Catherine's might just by looking at her. Catherine's heart skipped a beat, shattering the aura gathered in her eyes.

Suddenly, she paused for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. The slight pause just now was because he saw Alan. Of course, no one would notice her subtle movements.

'"Tomorrow, you will launch a general attack on the Chaos Canyon. Your tactical intelligence should receive the mission issued by the Military Ministry. Please read it carefully and wait for the dispatch tomorrow. Finally, I wish you all a prosperous martial future!" Catherine waved her cloak and left the platform.

Her mobilization was so brief and straightforward, but it wasn't too surprising. After all, Reaper wasn't the kind of general who was good at words.

Unexpectedly, she walked onto the stage and stopped. Then, she looked in Alan's direction and said, "Follow me."

This nonsense confused everyone present, but Alan knew that it was directed at him. Originally, she didn't want to be too high-profile on such an occasion, but Catherine's gaze became impatient. Alan could only shake his head with a bitter smile and stand out from the crowd.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Alan could only pretend not to see him. He came to Catherine's side and sighed, "What advice does the general have?"

"Nothing much. Just accompany me for a walk." After saying that, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and drag Allen away from the camp in such a flamboyant manner.

It was not until they left that people began to discuss. Lucy said angrily, puffing her cheeks, "This is a provocation. That woman is challenging me!"

Regis and Belmond looked at each other and could only shake their heads and chuckle.

Alan followed behind Catherine. Not long after the two of them left the camp, Catherine jumped onto a tactical flying car that was parked beside her. She looked at Ellen and hooked her finger, "Come on up."

"Where are you going?"

"Come with me, or do you not have the guts to do so?"

Alan sighed, "You don't need to use provocation. I'll just follow you." He got into the flying car and sat beside Catherine. Catherine activated the flying car. The tactical flying car circled around the field, then rushed out of the front camp and headed straight for the mountains where the local battlefields were located.

All of this was seen by Comon. The major general put down his binoculars, jumped down from the sentry tower, threw them directly to the adjutant, and silently walked into the camp. However, not long after he left, the sentry tower that he had just stayed in suddenly shook, and there was actually a thick crack extending over the tower's body. In the end, the sentry tower collapsed, and the adjutant looked at the rubble, as if he understood what Comon was feeling.

The car flew into the mountains.

"Where are we going?" Ellen couldn't help but ask in the passenger seat.

"I have something to say to you. It's not convenient in the barracks." Catherine's answer was still concise, and she returned to her ice-cold indifference, making Ellen wonder if the woman who had taken the initiative to squeeze him earlier was the one in front of her.

Thus, he also fell silent.

The gunfire outside the car rumbled, but the interior was strangely quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Catherine drove into a ravine and stopped in a relatively spacious place. She opened the car door and jumped down first. Alan followed, and a hot breeze blew down the mountain path, bringing with it the smell of smoke, and blowing Catherine's two ponytails to one side. Alan still remembered the feeling of her hair brushing past her body, when Catherine turned around and looked at Alan and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing. I just remember what you looked like that day."

"That day" Catherine looked at him, the coldness in her eyes gradually fading away. She walked over and held Ellen's face. "I said, if you're not as strong as me in three years, then don't think I'll be your woman!"

"I haven't forgotten."

"That's good." Catherine let him go: "Now, let's get down to business. I just saw Capulet not long ago."

"Marshal Berserk Lion? He's finally here." Alan said in a low voice. He knew more or less about the legendary leader of the old party, the legendary figure in the Federation Army. "I heard that Capullo's old wounds have not healed yet."

"Well, who knows, or maybe it's just smoke. Just think about it, the old and new parties have been at odds for a long time, but your teacher Windsor Belo has never provoked Capullo." Catherine's gaze returned to its usual coldness, but there was something else in her eyes: "From what I know, Marshal Greed is not a patient woman. If she thought she could take Capulet down, I believe she would have done something long ago and wouldn't have let the struggle between the two sects get entangled until now."

"He really is an unfathomable figure."

"Not to mention Marshal, who in the Federation will be easy to provoke?" Catherine shook her head and said, "Speaking of business, Capulet talked to me privately. He gave me a mission. That mission has something to do with you."

"Oh?" "Are you talking about me?" Allench said.

"That's right, Capullo is very interested in you. He wants me to seduce you with my beauty and win you over to the old party."

"That's impossible," Allen said with little thought. "Although I won't make it clear that I work for the New Party, I won't stand on the Old Party's side either."

"I know, but have you ever thought about it?" As the bipartisan situation gets worse, the fight could spill over into the federation as a whole. At that time, if you want to remain neutral, you will have to pay a huge price. After all, you are a student of Windsor Belo, and Beth Corder is an equipment supplier to the Sirius Legion. Even if you are unwilling, people will consider you as a New Party faction. "

Alan felt a burst of irritation. He didn't want to participate in the factional struggle at all. He just wanted to do what he wanted to do. '"But that's after the war," Catherine said instead. "My advice is, at least until the war is over, you and I can be intimate in public to give Capullo an explanation. Otherwise, it would be too easy for him to do anything."

"After all, anything can happen on the battlefield. It's not surprising that even Beth Cod's Star of the Future was damaged on the interstellar battlefield."

Alan had no reason to object, and Catherine did it for his own good, so he nodded in agreement. But he thought of Lucy. Perhaps he had to tell Lucy about his relationship with Catherine.

Rumble!

The sudden explosion disrupted Alan's thoughts, and the ground shook. Clearly, the explosion was not far from them. Wolf smoke rose from the corner in front of the mountain path. Black smoke billowed upwards, looking like a black dragon from afar. Catherine looked at the wolf smoke and said, "Maybe we should go back."

Alan agreed with her, and the two of them were just about to get on the flying car. Suddenly, at the corner of the mountain path, a few figures flashed out in a sorry state. Judging from their clothes, they were soldiers who were spreading death. They ran forward like they were fleeing for their lives. Behind them, another black shadow flashed out from the corner, but it was a group of Catu Race berserk warriors. Seeing that the Federation soldiers could not shake off their pursuers, they had no choice but to turn around and fight. However, the number of enemies was several times greater than theirs. Soon, two Federation soldiers were knocked down by the Catus' beam weapons.

Catherine snorted and dismissed the idea of returning to camp.

"This bunch of bastards!" She said. The snake sickle was already in her hand, and Catherine rushed over in an instant. The light of the sickle drew a sporadic trajectory along the mountain path, but it pointed straight at the Catu warriors.

In the blink of an eye, there was only one soldier left in the Federation. The rest of the soldiers gave up the idea of escaping and instead raised their rifles to roar in response. A Catu warrior raised his giant shield and pressed forward. The fire from the soldier's rifle swept across the giant shield. Apart from sweeping countless sparks across the shield, it was unable to delay the Catu's approach. Within a few breaths, the Catus had already pounced over. With a sweep of the giant shield, the Federation soldiers flew into the air with their guns.

He looked down from midair, and a dozen or so Catu warriors had already rushed forward, waiting for him to fall like a flock of sharks. The soldiers were ready to die in battle, but at this moment, a cold light rushed into the Catu warriors, and the sturdy rhinoceroses were shaken by the slender cold light. Only then did the soldier see the two ponytails, one gray and one black, rise up, and the cloak painted with the Code of Darkness flew like flames!

The soldier fell to the ground and looked up. The owner of the cloak had already rushed into the enemy formation. The sickle formed from Origin Energy swung around, gathering all the enemies in the surroundings together. Then, he swung up into the air again, and a dozen or so Catu warriors danced and flew into the air. At this moment, streaks of light appeared in mid-air, crisscrossing the body of the Catus. The Catus had originally shouted loudly, but at the same time, they instantly came to a halt. Following that, Ju Ju's body split apart and dislocated, causing blossoms of blood to bloom in mid-air.

The soldier was dumbfounded when he heard someone behind him say, "Get out of here."

He raised his head and a figure passed by him. Only when the man walked forward did the soldier see that it was a young man. His short silver hair was as brilliant as the starry river at midnight, and at his feet, there was a fierce red broadsword. All of a sudden, he exerted his strength and brought a ball of surging blood energy into the pursuers behind him. Countless blood-colored lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the soldiers' eyes. They quickly formed a red forest. The forest engulfed the Cato warriors, and the soldiers could only hear shrill screams, as if the berserk warriors had been devoured by the forest.

Only then did he know how to get up and run forward. After running for a hundred meters, he turned around. In his eyes, Catherine's cloak was flaming, and Allen's heavy saber pulled out a blood-colored scar. With the two of them working together, a large number of Catu warriors were quickly falling down.

That was a scene that soldiers would never forget in their entire lives!
