Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 754: Reconstruct

Losses are heavy, but that doesn't mean there's no harvest. On the contrary, Ellen and the others had gained quite a bit from the hunting squad. Just like everything in the world, there were gains and losses. There were gains and losses, but this was true.

Below the list of casualties was a list of military contributions issued by the Federation, which listed the military contributions that Allen's team had obtained this time. The battle in the Scarlet Flame Highlands was the most important, killing nearly a thousand enemy soldiers and killing Sabott, a Chieftain-level expert, all of which gave Alan and the others a third-grade merit. Because Sabott's combat strength was slightly higher than the Dark Titan's, the military gave him another fourth-grade credit.

The rest of the merits of killing enemies, including the battles at the resupply base, were converted into a fourth-grade merit. In the list, even Alan and the others' resolute return to the Scarlet Flame Highlands was included in the merit test. Even Alan had no choice but to say it was fair to the Military Department's assessment of merit points.

Finally, it was clearly stated in the summary column that Allen's team had obtained two third-class merits and two fourth-class merits. Even if the two third-grade merits were split apart and the two fourth-grade merits were split equally, each team would receive at least three fourth-grade merits. This was already a good amount of income. One had to know that on Frost Star, a team like Reese that lacked combat ability would only receive a rank four military merit if they fought to the death.

Now that the battle had tripled, it could be seen that the central battlefield was indeed a good place to harvest military contributions. Of course, the premise was to survive until the end.

Allen thought about it carefully. Naturally, he couldn't split the military contribution, let alone let the living obtain it alone. After some deliberation, Allen planned to exchange a fourth-grade contribution for federal dollars and distribute it to the deceased as a pension to their families. As for the other hunting groups, they were allocated according to their contribution and battle damage. Dawn Academy once had a complicated formula for this kind of distribution of military merits. For many people, this formula was enough to cause a headache, but for Alan, it was only a matter of a few minutes.

Very quickly, he finished distributing his military merits. Generally speaking, the Black Knights, Judges, and Silver Heavenly Horses, who were the main fighting forces of the guild, would be slightly tilted. There were fewer auxiliary teams like Reese and the Shadow Bobcats. After distributing the merit points, he would go to the command building of the stronghold to cash in and register. Looking out of the window, it was already dusk, so Alan could only dismiss his plan to head to the command building immediately.

It was night.

An internal celebration banquet was held in the Mawson Clan's camp. This time, the Mawson Clan was firmly guarding the defensive area, and they did not give in even in the face of tremendous pressure. For a clan that had started as a businessman, their performance was truly impressive. Especially the military commander, Zeke's bold tactical style, won a good praise. In the battle of the C2 camp, Adele's performance was even more remarkable.

The Morsen demons were even more famous for their poisonous tongues and troubles in Babylon, but no one had expected that her decisiveness and toughness on the battlefield would not be inferior to that of men in the slightest. On the battlefield, the Morsen Clan had never had anyone to put on the stage. But after this battle, Adele leapt into the limelight of the family. Although this glory was more because of the contrast she showed on the battlefield as a woman. If it was a man, there might not be so much praise left.

But at any rate, the Morsons were in the limelight this time, and Adele was even more so for the frail-looking family.

When Wallace sent this information back to the family, Old Kate couldn't keep her mouth shut all night.

Tonight's celebration banquet rewarded the family warriors. Although they were mostly hired outsiders, they were indispensable for such a front. In this regard, the Morsen Clan was not stingy. All the soldiers received a good reward. Even those who died in the war would receive a pension of about 30% higher than the contract.

So the camp was filled with laughter. The soldiers leaned over to drink and fell to the ground drunk with laughter.

The battle hall of the camp became the main venue of the banquet, and the atmosphere inside was blazing. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a surge of hot air gushed out from the hall. Adele walked out in hunting shorts, her hair tied up and hidden in a newsboy's hat. There was still a smile on her face, but as she left the hall, the smile gradually disappeared. She was still holding a cocktail in her hand. She drank half of the wine and the remaining half of the light blue liquid gently shook as she walked.

Adele stopped in a corner of the hall and found a clean place to sit. She took off her hat and her long hair danced in the night wind. She held the wine and looked at the night sky, speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

This made Adele frown, and then she saw Ham, the son of Toure, a person she hated very much. At tonight's celebration dinner, the Goliath family came uninvited. However, due to his courtesy, Wallace chose to receive the gifts brought by Toure. Toure's face was also extremely thick. He didn't talk about the rude actions he had when he retreated into the Morsen Family's defensive area that day. He played the role of a generous patriarch. He spent the entire night chatting with Wallace about Feng Yue, not mentioning any serious matters.

Adele was too lazy to approach them and ran out by herself. He didn't expect this Hamm to follow him with thick skin. It could be seen that this man's skin was no less thick than his father's. Adele stood up with a look of disgust, picked up her glass, and was about to leave. 'Please wait a moment, Miss Adele,' cried Ham hurriedly.

"What, what advice does Mr. Hamm have?" Said Adele coldly.

A sincere smile appeared on Hamm's face. "I came to apologize to Miss Adele for my previous rudeness."

"Oh? You've done a lot of rude things. I don't even remember which one."

'"Of course it was the night in Babylon, Miss Adele. Believe me, I was really drunk to do such an outrageous thing," said Ham, still smiling, not angered by Adele's taunts.

"So it's this matter. Alright, you've already apologized. You can leave now." Said Adele impatiently.

But Hamm said, "Listen to me, beautiful lady." Although I was rude that night, it was because I admired Miss Adele's beauty that I made that mistake. Because of this, the two of us are still in such a bad mood. Every time I think of this, I feel very guilty. So you see, I hope Miss Adele will give me a chance to make up for all this. "

Adele raised her eyebrows and sneered, "I can't think of any way to make up for it."

"Of course." Ham's eyes glowed with a blazing light as he stepped forward and said, "It's actually very simple. I propose to Miss Adele." Let bygones be bygones, and as long as Miss Adele agrees, the two of us shall be reconciled. When the two of us join forces, are you still worried that we won't be able to achieve anything on this central battlefield? "Of course, we will still abide by the previous agreement. All the military contributions will belong to the Morsen Clan!"

Adele shouted, "It turns out that it's like this. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you."

After saying that, he wanted to leave.

'"Miss Adele, think again. This is a good thing for both of us. I really can't think of any reason for you to refuse?" Ham hurriedly stood in front of her.

"No reason?" '"Mr. Hamm, you overestimate yourself. If I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the political capital of the family, I have more men than you to choose from. You? To put it bluntly, you don't have the qualifications." Adele laughed.

She pushed Hamm away forcefully and walked towards her camp alone.

Hamm was stunned on the spot. After a moment, his eyes burned with anger, "You ungrateful bitch!"

He brushed his sleeves and walked back.

A moment later, the Goliath family bid farewell and left. On the flying car, Toure quietly listened to Ham's narrative and shook his head. "You're too anxious. Ham Adele had a lot of opinions about you before. At this time, you shouldn't immediately throw out the idea of marriage. You should pursue her like an ordinary woman. Girls want romance, and you're too damaging."

Ham snorted, "I don't understand, father. Why should I curry favor with that bitch again? That Adele, she'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make her look good. You weren't there, and I don't know how she taunted me. I almost strangled her to death!"

"Fortunately, you didn't do that." Toure smiled and said, "Listen, the situation is very bad for us." And you see, Adele is getting so much attention now. If we can get this marriage back and build on Adele's current momentum, we can save our reputation. Tomorrow, you go get her some presents. "I don't care what you think, but before you take down this marriage, I want you to try your best to please Adele, even if you're like a dog. Lick her feet, you'll have to do it for me."

Hamm widened his eyes and said discouragingly, "I see."

Toure shook his head. How could his son know how terrible the Goliath Clan was right now? Losing the defensive area was no joke, even though the stronghold's military had previously announced that they could "opt out". However, the prerequisite was that he couldn't defend the defensive area, so he decided to follow this strategy. However, at that time, the Goliath Clan did not even try to defend it. Especially after comparing it with the Morsen Clan in the neighboring defensive area, the Goliath Clan had already been labeled as a coward or a coward.

This was very unfavorable to the future development of the clan. That was why Toure wanted to make up with the Morsen Clan to restore the clan's reputation. Tonight was an attempt. Toure believed that as long as he brought out enough benefits, he wasn't afraid that the Morsen Clan wouldn't agree.

However …

Toure looked at Hamm. His oldest son was looking out of the window. He knew Ham's temper well, and with his character it would probably be difficult to put down his body to please Adele. But it doesn't matter, he's not just a son.
