Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 714: Blood Gate Stronghold

Running Stream Stronghold, Star Abyss Stronghold, Mighty Prison Stronghold, Blood Gate Stronghold, and Black Rock Stronghold had already fallen.

According to the battle report, the chaotic races had attacked the five strongholds at the same time. They had invested more than 200,000 troops, and each stronghold had to face attacks from 40,000 to 50,000 enemy troops. A few days later, the enemy troops quietly split up and drew out about 20,000 troops to join forces in the Running Stream Stronghold. The defensive pressure on the Running Stream Stronghold suddenly intensified. Although the stronghold had requested help from the friendly forces, the stronghold had already been destroyed by the chaotic races before the reinforcements arrived.

At that time, the Running Stream Stronghold had no choice but to shrink its troops and gather at the Mecaline Mountain, where the Rapids Fjord was located, while defending the mountain pass, giving the enemy an advantage in terms of numbers, but could only launch a limited offensive. It was true that the commanders of the stronghold had used this tactic at that time. Although it was passive defense, it could effectively delay the battle.

If the Prison Flame Giant hadn't participated in the battle, perhaps the Running Stream Stronghold would have survived until reinforcements arrived. However, no one had thought that there were only three Prison Flame Giants in the Grai Clan. They were supposed to be at war with the people of Adahua Planet. However, one of the giants bypassed Adahua Planet's control area and ambushed the entrance to Mecalene Mountain. There were no experts in the stronghold who could reach the Prison Flame Giant. Five minutes after the attack, Meckarin Mountain was broken through. The chaotic races charged into the stronghold and used their superior strength to pull open the encirclement net. In the end, the soldiers of the Running Stream Stronghold were all captured in one fell swoop.

The stronghold had fallen, and when the reinforcements arrived, they saw the scene of a purgatory filled with corpses. Of the 40,000 defenders, only a few hundred or so survived. The losses could only be described as tragic.

Now, the Running Stream Stronghold was occupied by the enemy. The troops that had been attacking the other strongholds had already withdrawn and retreated into the ruins of the Running Stream Stronghold on Mount Mercury. Whether for strategic purposes or in return for color. Currently, the counterattack plan initiated by the Golden Lion had already begun. This operation was personally led by Capulo, and the Golden Lion Legion was also in charge of the combat mission.

As for the spread of death and the other strongholds, they remained motionless. Their mission was to protect the strongholds while cleaning up the remaining enemy soldiers in the war zone.

Hunting groups like Allen, who could enter the central battlefield, had the initial task of assisting in clearing the enemy's remnants from their strongholds or bases in order to ensure the safety of the theatre. Alan's destination for the Garden of Eden had been determined. It was the Blood Gate Stronghold among the five strongholds. Apart from the 30,000 Federation soldiers, there were also the private guards of the Bethcodd, Morson, and Goliath clans.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Allen's team had been arranged in the Blood Gate Stronghold. With the help of his family's private army, the safety of their hunting squad on the central battlefield had undoubtedly increased by a lot.

Alan turned off his brain after reading the battle report. Nothing happened, he just sat up and nourished his Origin Energy to repair the damage.

It was night in the Garden of Eden.

As a superplanet comparable to Paradise Star, there was no doubt about its vast size. The earth is like a child to an adult. The Garden of Eden also had mountains, rivers, seas, forests, hills, plains, and other rich landforms, and there were countless species living on this planet. Even the Adahua Planet people, who had a wider area of control, could only control a continent in the Garden of Eden.

The continent known as the Silver Wind has an irregular sharp vertebra. The continent is narrow in the south and wide in the north. From south to north, it performs the climate of the four seasons of the year. Because of its special geomorphology, the larger cities on the continent are located in the north-central part of the continent. The northern climate was cold, and Adahua Planet was located at the Silver Garden, the largest stronghold on the planet, at the northernmost tip of the Silver Wind Continent.

Opposite the Silverwind Continent was the territory controlled by the Federation. However, in reality, the Federation controlled only 60% of the territory on this continent called Twilight. The remaining 40% was still in the hands of the natives of the continent. Even though the Federation had already built five strongholds, over a hundred bases, and hundreds of towns, large and small, they still did not have complete control of this land.

Now, due to the invasion of the chaotic races, the original expansion plan had been halted one after another. In particular, the fall of the Running Stream Stronghold had dealt a heavy blow to the Federation. Right now, many of the planet's natives had joined the alliance forces of the chaotic races. Although their numbers were limited, they could not even be said to be adding to the glory. However, the chain reaction was extremely disadvantageous to the Federation.

Although the Twilight Continent was less than half the size of the Silver Wind, the southeastern end of the continent was bordered by the Silver Wind, and the eastern and southern sides were surrounded by the ocean. It benefited from the warm ocean climate. The soil of the Twilight Continent was fertile and had countless minerals, so its resources were not much inferior to the Silver Wind. Among them, the Scarlet Flame Highland where the Blood Gate Stronghold was located was the hottest place on the continent. There are three active volcanoes on the Scarlet Flame Highlands. They are called Burning Trident. The Blood Gate Stronghold was built right below the trident. From afar, the three volcanoes were like huge chimneys, emitting thick smoke all the time.

This was a red highland. The soil was rich in iron, so it was dark red. It looked as if it had been soaked in fresh blood. There were many hot springs in the Scarlet Flame Highlands, but these hot springs weren't vacation spots. Because the temperature of the spring water was extremely high and it emitted a choking smell of sulfur, these large and small springs became a natural obstacle. These scattered springs had caused quite a bit of trouble to the enemy during their recent offensive.

But now, the Scarlet Flame Highlands, which were filled with yellow smoke, had regained their usual tranquility. Only the occasional sound of engines could break this tranquility. Especially when a tactical flying car drove past a natural stone forest, the sound of heavy metal music drifted out from the wide open car door, making the few wild animals on the Scarlet Flame Highland unable to avoid it.

The flying car had the image of a running hunter on it. It was the Barbarian Hunter, the private army of the Goliath family. The flying car stopped at a stone pillar that required several people to embrace and bulge on the ground. A young man wearing soft armor and carrying a magical rifle jumped out of the car. He raised the goggles of his tactical helmet and circled to the west of the pillar. Scanning the rough dark red cylinder with his hand, he swept away the gravel that was sticking to it, revealing a concealed reconnaissance radar.

Radars like this spread throughout the stone forest, forming a thorough reconnaissance network. Once an external enemy entered, they would immediately be discovered and alerted by the Wisdom Brain Terminal. This stone forest and the surrounding area within a few kilometers square were precisely the defensive areas of the Goliath Clan. At this moment, the young man in charge of inspecting the radar was only one of a dozen night patrols.

"Hey, Marn. If that thing is fine, hurry up and leave. The smell here is like dog shit everywhere. It's uncomfortable to stay here for a second." A companion in the car shouted.

Ma En scolded, "Then open the door!"

"Dude, if that wasn't the case, how could this beautiful music be shared with the earth?"

The members of the carriage all laughed.

"Bastard Laughey, I think what you said is dog shit." Ma En ignored him and turned on the radar record to check if the instrument was normal.

This was the task of the night patrol team. In addition to patrolling their designated routes, they had to ensure that the equipment installed in the defensive areas would not be damaged by wild animals. This was not an easy task, at least for Marn. One of the records caught Marn's attention as he scanned through the records. The record shows that recently there was an energy-responsive life approaching, but for some reason the radar identified it as a wild animal and did not return the information to the terminal brain.

Marn retrieved the details of the record, including five images. Ten minutes ago, two human silhouettes appeared in the first image from the radar's infrared camera. But in the second and third images, the humanoid creature bends down, hands and feet moving on the ground like a wild beast. As for the latter two, they were already very close to the camera, and they could see that they were long-haired wild beasts. One of them even used its ferocious eyes to meet the camera. Looking at the image, Marn felt as if he was being stared at by it.

The young man shook his head. The creatures inside were neither Catus nor Grai Giants. Even if their energy reactions were higher, it wasn't surprising that the intelligent system would judge them as wild creatures. After all, the logical program of the brain had already recorded the details of the Catus and the Grai, including their physique characteristics. The radar definitely wouldn't be mistaken.

"Alright? Dude, we still have a few places to go!" Shouted the colleague in the car.

Marn disguised the instrument again and walked out from behind the pillar. "I got it, I got it. Let's go now."

"That's more like it, brother. You have to work more quickly, don't act like a woman."

Ma En shook his head and laughed. He wanted to curse back, but his footsteps suddenly stiffened. He opened his eyes wide. On the flying car, a long-haired beast was lying on the cannon of the tactical car like a civet. However, the person in the car actually didn't notice anything. Just as he was about to warn, his colleagues in the car also cried out in alarm, "Be careful, on your head!"

Raising his head, he saw the beautiful starry sky in the Garden of Eden. At this moment, the silver-white frost and dark-red meteoric fire satellites were alternating in the night sky, presenting a magnificent bimonthly beauty. When his gaze moved to the stone pillar behind him, Ma En saw a black shadow pouncing down from the stone pillar that was more than ten meters tall. Marn could only see two blood-red eyeballs in the smelly breeze. Inside, his horrified face was reflected!

The attack began at the same time.

When they saw Marn being attacked, the people in the car were about to rush out to rescue him. Suddenly, the exotic beast lying on the carriage got into the carriage. Its fangs and sharp claws interweaved into a storm of death. The two hunters did not even react and were bitten to the point that their throats and chests were torn open. Laughey reacted well. He was at the door again. He immediately rolled out of the car, turned around, and spat out a dazzling flame from the magic energy rifle in his hand!
