Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 686: An Unexpected Helper

"Since Major General has said so, how can I not believe you?" '"Alan, I don't like him very much, but he's one of us, anyway. Whoever does this to him is against our family. I'll report it, and if General Catherine finds out who did it, please let me know."

"I know." Catherine whispered.

Rena nodded and left.

Catherine looked at Selis as if nothing had happened, and said, "Continue your work. I have been tired for a day and need to rest for a few hours. Don't disturb me at this time."

"Yes, General!" All the colonels stood upright.

Returning to her own residence, Catherine was still dressed in a general's uniform. Without even removing her cloak, she used her brain to enter a secret channel. A moment later, a window opened on the screen. In the picture, there was a figure with his back to the screen, focusing on the pitch-black space outside the window. He seemed to have discovered something, but when he turned around, it was Capulo.

"Catherine, why are you looking for me now? Is there anything you need?" Capulo had a warm smile on his face, completely unlike the overbearing Berserk Lion Marshal in the battle room that day.

Catherine said expressionlessly, "Something extremely serious has happened. I think it's necessary to report it to you."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I suspect that General Comon has secretly modified the mission, causing the Beth Cord Hunting Group to enter the Second Grade Theater of Operations. Originally the target position of the Defense Fort, it has been quietly converted into a main barracks."

"Is there such a thing?" Capulo calmed down and said indifferently, "What's the explanation for that, Comon?"

"General Comon refuses to communicate with me. At present, I can't contact him either."

"Looks like there is indeed a problem. Where's the Bescot kid?"

Catherine shook her head. "His brother Reina is back, but Ellen can't get in touch with him. He's probably still alive. I've already sent a vanguard battalion to rescue him, but there's no news yet."

"You handled it well, General." Capullo thought for a moment and said, "General Comon is from the Grant family, and I hear he seems to have been courting General Catherine for the last two years."

"Your information is really well-informed."

"It's fine not to be well-versed. In this era, intelligence is number one." Capullo nodded and said, "I'll take care of General Comon. General Catherine, I hope you can bring Alan back safely now. Of course, the frost war is still the highest priority. If that young man doesn't make it, that means he's only capable of it."

"I know what to do."

After the communication ended, Catherine removed her cloak, took off her general clothes, and wore only her black underwear. She untied the development bundle and mixed any two colors of hair before walking to the bathroom.

"Bath." Catherine whispered, and the three-dimensional sprinkler hidden in the wall immediately sprayed a moderate temperature water line onto Catherine's body. She took off her last clothes, closed her eyes, and let the water flow through her body, relieving the fatigue of the day.

"That fellow can't have died just like that, right?" In the bathroom, Catherine said in a voice that she could only hear.

Even though it was late at night, sporadic artillery fire and occasional shouts could still be heard in the Chaos Canyon. The main forces of both sides stopped fighting, but the sentries and guerrillas they sent still went deep into the enemy area. The battles in some areas were still going on in the enemy area, and the night was not lonely under the soundings of gunshots and cannons.

The flames that shot towards Yun Xiao in the distance were diluted by the mist that was everywhere in the valley, and they became hazy like fireworks. Under the light of a determined face, Second Lieutenant Hai Hua made a gesture and emerged from behind a rock like a night cat. He led the twenty-man squad behind him to sneak between the grass and the ravine. The team's target was an enemy outpost below.

The Catus' sentinel fortress was extremely crude, with stones and lumber randomly placed together to serve as a vigilance. Previously, Second Lieutenant Hai Hua had already known that there were two gunmen and seven or eight infantry soldiers in the sentry fort. This number was not in his eyes. When they were about a hundred meters away from Sentinel Castle, the second lieutenant raised his signal gun and fired in the direction of the pile of Sentinel Castle guns.

A ball of fire arced over the sentry fort, illuminating the face of a Catu gunman. The big rhinoceros had a face full of shock. Before it could react from its shock, the part above its eyes suddenly exploded and blood spilled everywhere. Only then did the piercing sound of gunfire resound from afar. It was the unique sound of a sniper rifle.

At the end of the gunshot, the second shot rang out again. Hai Hua saw a sturdy figure fall from the top of the sentry fort. Knowing that he had neutralized the enemy's long-range firepower, he immediately launched an offensive gesture. Several firefighters in the team were in their respective positions. The magic energy rifle activated a continuous firing mode, and Origin Energy bullets poured into the enemy formation like a rainstorm. It suppressed the movements of the infantry soldiers in the sentry fort and also provided the necessary cover for the vanguard.

Perhaps Hai Hua's command was nothing new, but it followed the standard procedure of the Federation. From scouting the enemy formations, he learned the information. Arrange for snipers to knock out the opponent's firepower, so as to ensure that the team could attack smoothly. Lastly, with the help of our own firepower and the cooperation of the vanguard warriors, everything was in order, but the battle damage rate was greatly reduced. This kind of battle flow was applicable to most battlefields. After all, the strategy of the Wonderful Armament was something that could not be done. A steady and steady battle was the only way to win a war.

But at this time, an accident happened.

Suddenly, a Catus rushed out of a fortress in front of the enemy's sentry fortress. The rhinoceros was holding a beam cannon in its hand. The Gatu warrior, who didn't even wear armor, laughed sinisterly at the engine cannon. The two-meter-long cannon immediately lit up and flew with six muzzles, firing a series of earthen yellow beams of light. The two Federation warriors who had rushed too far were immediately blasted away by the cannon fire. The magical energy armor on their bodies only had time to activate the Origin Energy Barrier once before being blasted through by the high-energy beam of light. Following that, the soldiers' armor, which was completely exposed to the cannon fire, shattered. Their bodies were blasted into the air, constantly changing their twisted postures. By the time they landed, the corpses were already riddled with holes. It was horrible to see!

"Retreat! Retreat!" Second Lieutenant Hai Hua roared. Without heavy firepower support, it was almost impossible for them to occupy a position guarded by a beam machine gun. Even with the strength of a second lieutenant, he was unable to resist the concentrated fire of the cannons head-on. While shouting for his men to retreat, Hai Hua shouted at the sniper, "Kill him! Kill that gunner! Do you hear me?"

However, what responded to him was a miserable scream.

Hai Hua couldn't help but look at the hiding place of the sniper. The rising artillery fire from behind lit up the enemy's stone pile. On the stone pile, a Catu roared towards the sky. The warrior had a bright red ribbon tied to his head, two large swords crisscrossed his back, and a one-handed battle axe in his right hand. With his left hand, he held a human head high. That was the head of the sniper.

The second lieutenant's pupils narrowed. Judging from the aura released by the other party, the Catu was at least a Level 20 expert. However, such a person did not appear in the previous intelligence report. If he knew that there was a Level 20 expert guarding the place and a gunner, Hai Hua would not rush forward so rashly. However, it was too late to regret it now. He only hoped that before the enemy experts arrived, the troops on his side would be able to evacuate smoothly.

Otherwise, as long as the opponent stalled him, the gunners in the sentry fort would be enough to kill all the soldiers except him.

As if knowing what the second lieutenant was thinking, the Cato expert on the pile of rocks had already flipped over. The mecha gunners from the sentry fort also began to press forward, and under the cover of his mecha cannon, the gato infantry soldiers all revealed ferocious gazes. They dispersed and moved in a roundabout manner, apparently wanting to bypass the Federation's vanguard warriors to attack the firefighters behind them. Under the suppression of the firepower of the cannon, it was not easy for the vanguard warriors to protect themselves, so there was no time to intercept the enemy infantry.

Hai Hua's scalp exploded. He had a premonition that his team would suffer heavy losses tonight.

At this moment, the continuous roar of the beam cannon suddenly became hoarse. Hai Hua was stunned as he looked over. He did not know when a black wing had been extended behind the gunner. The second lieutenant saw clearly that a blade was sticking out of the gunner's mouth. Obviously, the gunner would not be able to survive. Sure enough, when the blade retreated and the cannon fell, the figure of a man appeared.

The man was dressed in black armor, and there were only two ribbons of blood spraying out from behind his shoulder guard. Behind him was a black wing. Was it his original ability, or was it a special skill in armor? Hai Hua only knew that the man nodded slightly at him. His figure flickered and he had already pounced into the enemy infantry. When the saber fell, an enemy soldier instantly lay down, while his comrade, who was very close to him, did not bring anything with him.

Such a skill!

Before Hai Hua could regain his senses, an earth-shattering roar sounded from behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw that the outsider expert who was pouncing on the pile of falling stones was forcefully pushed back by a sudden bloody flash of light. He lost his center of gravity and rolled down the pile of rocks in a sorry state, unable to get up again for a while. The bloody light dissipated and turned into a fierce blade wrapped in blood energy. However, the person holding such a lethal weapon was a slender youth. He stood on a tall rock, and the distant flames had also dyed his silver hair red.

His body slightly lowered its center of gravity and he immediately pounced down. That simple action reminded Hai Hualian of a wild beast.

Wolf!

In the blink of an eye, the wolf-like youth had already clashed with an outsider expert. The heavy saber with overflowing killing intent accumulated enough Origin Energy, continuously forcing the enemy experts to clash with their battle axes. After a few rounds, the outsider's axe was unable to withstand a heavy blow, and its body was torn apart. Instantly, the silver-haired young man's blood lightning flashed, and one of his arms was torn open on the spot, almost cut off by Qi Gen!
