Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 695: Approaching Shadow

"General, it's time for us to go back."

The wind was stirring Catherine's hair. In the distance, a cloud of fire appeared in the sky, and the war in the sky began again. At the starship's cabin door, the adjutant warned, "You still have a battle conference to attend."

Catherine picked up Comon's sword and said indifferently, "I see. Let's go now."

When she returned to the starship, the fast warship activated stealth mode again. It quickly rose into the sky and flew away amidst the sound of a series of engines.

"I don't want anyone to know about the cancellation of this mission record." On the starship, Catherine said as she fiddled with Comon's flower sword.

The adjutant looked at her doubtfully, but did not dare to ask why. He had been operating on his brain for a while, so there was one missing item from the warship's usage record today. For at least a few hundred records a day, missing one would not attract attention at all. Just what was the purpose? The adjutant glanced at the sword in Catherine's hand and the corpse from before. He seemed to understand something, but he tried to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Alan saw the path of blood that was burning with flames again. The winding path of blood stretched forward, as if it was going to reach the end of the world, if the universe had an end. He could clearly feel the touch of the thick blood flames flowing at his feet, as well as the endless heat emitted by the flames. He looked forward, revealing layers of curtains of fire. The Throne at the end of the bloody path, in the name of destruction, was still waiting for the arrival of the new Lord.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the vague throne behind the curtain of fire, as if he heard someone calling him, "Come here …"

Suddenly, he heard a woman's laughter. Alan looked back and reached out to catch her. However, there was nothing behind him. The familiar Blood Concealment wasn't behind him. Even his waist didn't have the devil's praise. At this moment, he was unarmed. In front of Alan, he could vaguely see a figure in the flames. From the outline, that figure should be a woman. Alan wanted to see it more carefully, but the shadow disappeared in a flash.

However, a huge mark appeared above the bloodline.

It was a sword wrapped in thorns. Several thick thorns stretched out in all directions, firmly binding the sword. A venomous expression appeared on the faces of the swords. Their mouths were wide open, as if they were cursing silently. All of a sudden, the eyes of all the faces moved, looking at Alan.

Alan's heart skipped a beat and he woke up. Opening his eyes, it was already dusk. Even as night approached, the sound of gunfire could still be heard. From time to time, the ground trembled slightly. It was because the canyon was under intense impact. Alan wanted to sit up, but his hands and feet seemed to have not moved for centuries. With just a little effort, he felt a burst of sour feeling, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

The figure in front of him blurred and Belmond squatted down. He reached out to help Allen sit down under an old tree. Only then did Allen realize that on an extinguished fire in front of him, the smoke was still smoking a few pieces of meat on tin foil. The oily barbecue made Ellen feel hungry. Belmond smiled and said, "You've been unconscious all day. You shouldn't eat right now. Drink some water first."

He took out a marching kettle from his backpack and handed it to Alan.

The water treated by the water purification unit carried an indescribable odor as it warmed Allen's cracked lips and entered his stomach through the esophagus. It was as if they were drinking oil, because they made the flames of hunger burn even more intensely. Alan resisted the urge to pounce on the barbecue meat and slowly drank all the water in the pot. After resting for a while, he took the barbecue from Belmond.

He ate the barbecue very slowly and finely. He tore off the shredded meat and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with his teeth and swallowing the gravy. He had eaten a small piece of barbecue for ten minutes. But then, the speed at which the food was being swept started to increase. When the barbecue on the tin foil completely entered Alan's stomach, he felt that even if he hit Comon again, he would still be able to fight.

However, in reality, even though his physical strength had recovered by 70%, his Origin Energy hadn't even recovered half of its full strength. In such a situation, it was truly inappropriate to fight.

"Where's Hubble?" Only then did Alan realize that the Catus weren't nearby.

Belmond shook his head and said, "His injuries are all healed. He can't sit still at all. He said he's going to have some fun. He'll be back before dark."

"I'm back." Hubble's rough voice, along with his strange human tones, rang out. The Catus emerged from the dense forest with bloodstains on their bodies, as if they had just fought a war.

Alan looked him up and down. Hubble threw the beheader to the ground and suddenly laughed, "It's really fun, haha. With so many bloody warriors here, I killed that kid Tarley."

Belmond was stunned. "You said that you would have fun, so you wouldn't go straight to the main barracks, right?"

"Otherwise?" '"You're awake," Hubble replied, looking at Alan. "Very well, please explain to me why I'm still alive. And damn it, I seem to have become stronger than before."

"There's no problem with that, but let's talk as we go." Allen stood up and picked up Xue Yin again. "We'd better meet up with the army as soon as possible."

"You should rest for another night." Belmond frowned.

"No, in my current state, it's not safe to stay in the canyon." What Alan didn't say was that he knew that one of his siblings was here. That was a hint from the path of burning blood. As long as the other party was as good as Seguris, he wouldn't be able to deal with him in his current state. Therefore, staying with the army is a safe bet.

Hubble stood up and said, "Shall I carry you?"

"I'm not that weak yet." Alan shook his head and smiled.

After Belmond covered their tracks, the three of them followed the direction Hai Hua had left. The sky gradually darkened, but the war in the distance did not end. Instead, it became more and more intense. As they were walking, a violent explosion suddenly sounded. Belmond's figure flickered as he arrived at the crown of an old tree. Looking in the direction of the high-altitude battlefield, a battleship was falling obliquely from the clouds of flames. In the middle of the journey, several fierce explosions occurred on the ship's hull, completely disintegrating in mid-air. Large and small fragments carrying blazing flames descended onto the canyon below.

"Follow?"

When Belmore returned to the ground, he heard Hubble roar, "You mean I'll be your servant from now on? Are you kidding? I won't serve anyone. Even if I don't hate you, I'll rest and call you master! It's a disgrace! A disgrace!"

He shouted and picked up his axe and chopped down. Several innocent trees were knocked down by Hubble, and the Catus were still panting heavily. He turned to Alan and said, "I want you to solve this relationship!"

"That's impossible." Said Alan, shrugging his shoulders.

"You can't do it?" Hubble raised his axe and said angrily, "Then I'll kill you! It's a joke to ask me to serve a human!"

Belmond knew that he was invincible, but he stood in front of Alan and looked at the furious rhinoceros.

Ellen gently pulled him away and took a few steps forward. He stood in front of Hubble and said sternly, "If you kill me, you will die too. Am I not clear? The transformation of followers has not only allowed you to survive, it has also made you stronger than ever before. But to prevent the betrayal of followers, our lives have been tied together from now on."

"I... I..." Hubble raised his axe and finally put it down dispiritedly.

Ellen reached out to pat him on the shoulder at Hubble's height. He could only pat the rhinoceros on the chest. It wasn't that hard to accept? You can think about it from another angle. Although you have to follow me in the future, you still have a chance to avenge Wasak, don't you? And you don't have to serve me or anything, much less call me master. You can think of it this way. Let's continue our previous cooperation for a period of time. We can borrow each other's strength to sweep away our respective enemies. How about this proposal? "

Hubble's nostrils were spitting out thick air, and the Catus circled the woods a few times before smashing their final punch into the tree, "Do I have a choice?" That's why you human monkeys are the most cunning, but you're still quite sensible. Let me tell you, Hubble is Hubble's own master, and no one can be my master. Even I won't admit him, let alone you! Do you understand? I'll just treat you as a skinny Catu. That's a strange idea. "

"Slowly get used to it, but here, it's not convenient for us to move together."

Hubble snorted, "Don't even think of me helping you kill my clansmen."

"You just killed a commander of one of your own main barracks," Bermuda warned.

"That's different, Tarley. I've long since found him unpleasing. He's one of Vasak's dogs!" Hubble said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, those who don't like it, and Vashaq, will be killed, but don't think I'm going to attack anyone else."

Alan and Belmond exchanged glances and saw the smile in each other's eyes. According to Hubble's classification, there would probably be a lot of people he could kill on the list of compatriots.

"Let's do this first, Belmond and I return to camp. You stay in the canyon. After the battle here is over, I will send you a set of full-body armor that conceals your identity. After that, you can leave this place as a new member of my hunting team. As for what happens after the war ends, we'll talk about it at that time. I think you'll probably be interested in Planet Heaven, because there are a lot of people you don't like to see there to sharpen your knives. "

Hubble stressed again, "If I think I can challenge Vashaq, you can't keep me."

"Got it, big guy." Alan took a step back and said, "Then, show us. What new abilities did you get after the transformation?"

Looking at Hubble's reluctant expression, Alan smiled and said, "Don't be shy, Hubble. Let me know your detailed abilities so that I can arrange some of your favorite jobs on the future battlefield."

"I'm really sick of it. Alright, I seem to have gained some sort of 'Fallen Body' ability."
