Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 751: Can't Turn Back

"Alright, alright, I've finally finished the formalities."

When the automatic door opened, Lucy walked in and pointed at herself. "It took me a long time to persuade the doctor to let you out of the hospital. How can you thank me, Eldest Young Master Allen?"

Alan put her on the bed with one hand and kissed her on the cheek. "Is Your Highness satisfied with this gift?"

Lucy blushed slightly and pushed him away, "You're so cheap and obedient. This is not a thank you gift. You're obviously taking advantage of me! No, you have to eat a good meal. I've been busy taking care of you these past few days, and I haven't had a good meal yet."

Alan laughed, "This is simple, but let's go back to camp first."

At this point, his face darkened. "I need to see them. How is Celine?"

Lucy sighed softly, "She's seriously injured, but her life is not in danger. But this half of her face is ruined …"

She pointed to the right cheek.

When Celine's shield was broken by Sabott, purple flames sprayed out and licked her face. With Alan's body being swept over by the purple flames, it was charred instantly, not to mention Celine. For women, disfiguration was even worse than death, especially for beautiful and young women like Celine.

"Where is she now?"

"In the hospital. Are you going to see her?"

Alan nodded.

Celine's ward was on the fifth floor, where the seriously wounded were taken in. Alan changed his clothes and came to this floor alone. When the elevator opened, he heard a faint groan coming from the surrounding ward. Occasionally, nurses and doctors would push their beds and run out of the ward in a hurry. Those who didn't want to cross Alan's path were all covered in a thick stench of blood. These were people who had been seriously injured in the war, and only one in ten of them could return to the battlefield.

After finding Celine's ward, Alan hesitated for a moment before opening the automatic door. Celine was arranged in a single ward. This ward was not big, but it was cleaner and simpler. As soon as he entered, he saw an open window, and the wind from outside raised a veil by the window. On the few beside him, the small goose-yellow flowers that had just been replaced were still stained with water droplets, reflecting a golden halo in the sunlight.

The bed was on the other side of the window. Celine was sitting on the bed, holding a tablet of brain and looking at something. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head, her right half of her face wrapped in bandages, and even her eyes were wrapped up.

Seeing Alan, she laughed, "You can get out of bed already? How's your arm?"

Alan waved his left hand, which was still in the multi-function medical ring, and said, "We can't use it to fight for the time being, but it won't interfere with our normal activities."

He walked over and sat down in a chair beside the bed. This was the first time he had looked at Celine from such a close distance. At that time, when the leader of the Black Knights had volunteered to ask Ellen to join, Ellen paid more attention to their performance on the battlefield than to someone like Celine. In his impression, Celine only hooked up with the Commander of the Order.

Now that she was close, if she ignored Celine's bandaged face on the right, it was not hard to tell that she was a mature and beautiful woman. Celine was older than Allen, and around twenty-four to fifteen was the most beautiful time in a woman's life. Her dark brown and nearly red hair made her look full of living edges, and her clear and profound facial features gave her all the qualifications to be a beauty. It was only because she had been engaged in battle for so many years that Celine seemed to have more muscles than any other woman, and less of the natural weakness of a woman.

Her legs were long and slender from the quilt, and her shell-like fingernails shone with a healthy glow in the sun.

Unfortunately, such a beauty's face was bandaged. Moreover, it could be imagined that not only was her face disfigured, even her right eye was probably necrotic. To Celine, this was not only a loss of appearance, but also a loss of her combat strength. Even with the electronic eye, it would inevitably affect his original combat strength. Regardless of whether it was a woman or a warrior, this injury should have dealt her quite a blow.

"Why aren't you talking?" "Hey, hey, boss," Celine said carelessly, "you're not upset about my injuries, are you?"

Alan didn't know what to say for a moment.

'"Don't worry, it's nothing to me. The doctor said that the skin here is difficult to recover. Even if the skin is grafted, there should be no expression on this half of the face because some nerves have already necrosed. This is really bad news, but I've already thought about it. I'll just use half of the mask to block it. It's even more mysterious."

"Your eyes …"

"Of course that thing is broken. It seems like the crystal has completely melted. Fortunately, there is no necrosis in the peripheral nerves. The doctor recommends installing an electronic eye. The latest model of electronic eye can provide normal vision, dynamic capture, infrared vision and other functions. It sounds good." Celine laughed.

Seeing her so cheerful, Alan couldn't help but say, "I should have told you to step down first. If that was the case, you wouldn't be like this, and Fraser wouldn't have died."

Celine put away her smile and put her hand around Ellen's neck. Then, he fiercely pulled Alan into his chest and squeezed him into his plump two peaks. Ellen was no longer a green-headed kid who didn't know anything. Feeling the astonishing elasticity of Celine's chest and the fragrance on her body, he naturally reacted. He hurriedly pushed Celine away, his face burning. Celine laughed and said, "Look, boss. Although my face is bad, I still have the ability to seduce men. Otherwise, you wouldn't be like that either. Well, do you want to try me? I'll make you very happy."

"I don't think so."

"It's not polite to refuse a lady like this, but I forgive you." Celine put away her smile and said, "So look, boss. I didn't lose anything. As for my injuries, who isn't ready to die on the battlefield? Besides, since what happened, there's no way I can regret it, right? Then why do you care?"

"You, there's only one thing you need to do, and that's to take us forward. Remember, there's no turning back on this path. Since we've started, we can only go to the end!"

Alan looked at her blankly and shook his head a moment later. "Really, I should have comforted you, but you comforted me instead."

The sun shone on his face, and Alan's eyes shone with a bright red light. He stood up and said, "Then you will recover well. Come back after you recover. We need you, Miss Celine."

"My sword and shield are at your service." Celine blinked her eyes, a little playful as usual.

When he left the hospital, Alan's mood was completely different. Although it was still a bit heavy, it was more like a flame of excitement. Celine's words reminded him that he didn't have time to mourn for the dead and to care for the injured. Why don't you focus your mind and strength on the front? There's no turning back on this path!

If that's the case, then bring the rest to the end.

After returning to the family camp at the stronghold, they saw several groups of Fierce Vulture soldiers training in the plaza as soon as they entered the gate. The instructor in charge of training them was actually Rainer. Rainer took off his volcanic armor and stood barefoot on the sand with his upper body bare and only a pair of shorts on his waist. His chest was still bandaged, but Sabott had hurt him that day. However, his recovery was not as fast as Alan's, and there was still a faint bloodstain on the bandage. However, Reina didn't realize it at all. At the same time as he was pointing at the soldiers, he even ordered a few soldiers to fight him barehandedly.

Even though Reina was injured, his skills were not comparable to those of a soldier, and he immediately dropped them to the ground. After toppling them, Raynor didn't forget to point out the weaknesses in their fists and feet, which greatly benefited the soldiers.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him, "If you are injured, you should go to bed and recover. You are so uneasy. How long are you going to wear this bandage?"

He turned around and saw Alan with a faint smile on his face.

When the others saw Alan, they all bowed. Alan's performance that night was obvious, Sabott was not his last blow. However, he definitely played a key role. If the Fierce Vulture Soldiers had treated him only out of respect for their status, then now, they respected this young master from the bottom of their hearts.

Reina snorted and waved his hand, "This injury is nothing. If you don't believe me, come on, let's play a few moves."

"Alright, after lying down for three days, my bones have hardened. I just happened to accompany you in exercising my muscles and bones." Alan took off his coat and handed it to Lucy.

Lucy had a look of "I can't stand you" and said, "Be careful not to hurt your left hand."

"Don't worry, one hand is enough." Alan shook his right arm.

Raynor's gaze fell on Alan's broken left arm and he said, "I won't take advantage of you either, just use one hand."

Alan gave a thumbs up.

The two of them circled around each other, and the soldiers excitedly surrounded each other. It was naturally interesting to see the two young masters compete. There was no lack of good people who spread the word, so seven or eight of the soldiers in the camp ran to the playground.

"That's why we need to increase our defensive capabilities." Roddy pushed open the door and walked out of the camp's combat room. Beside him was Fuding, who had his hands in his pockets. Just now, the two of them had redrawn their defensive strategy regarding the current situation in the defensive area. As soon as they came out, they saw that the playground was packed with people. He caught a soldier running by and asked, "What's going on?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "Young Master Reiner and Young Master Allen are going to compete. Lord Roddy, do you want to go and take a look together?"

"A good guy!" Reina scolded him and looked at Fording, "Alan's leaving the hospital so soon? I thought he would be lying down for at least a week. Neither of them was easy to deal with, so it just so happened that they were messing around again."

Fordin shrugged and smiled, "You were more foolish when you were younger. Let's go and take a look."
