Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 782: A Dog

"Your mission this time is neither light nor heavy. Although your opponent is only a planet's natives, don't underestimate those Scarlet Ghosts."

Roddy said as he smoked his cigar.

Alan nodded and said, "I see, Uncle Roddy."

"Then let's do this. Come back early." Roddy waved his hand and interrupted the communication.

Adahua Planet's envoy had already left, and Alan had studied hard with Metallon during the few days he had spent in the stronghold. The old marquis also came from a well-known family, so his combat skills were naturally not trivial. With his guidance, Alan could be said to have benefited greatly. Most importantly, Metalon's techniques weren't as simple as Alan's. The battle techniques of the noble clans were all systematic. Under Metalon's guidance, Allen had systematically combed through what he had learned in the past.

Many things that he had only a little understanding of before were now thoroughly understood. To him, the moves were the same. However, his movements were even more concise, precise, and his power had also increased by several points. Metallon was also surprised by Alan's intelligence. He had almost never forgotten it, and it made sense. He had only taught Alan for three days, but these three days were a pleasure for Metalon.

In his words, he had never taught a student as comfortable as Alan. Even though Lucy was lucky enough to change, she was still a little weaker than Allen in comprehension.

Of course, Her Highness the Empress, who knew this comment, was unwilling to listen and wanted to catch Allen for a competition. The latter admitted defeat very straightforwardly, which made Lucy angry and angry.

After the envoy left, the stronghold army had a new mission. Allen received a rescue mission. Under the nuisance of the foreign coalition forces, the towns in the federally controlled area were empty. After waiting for the enemy troops to retreat, it was naturally the most important task to restore construction and production. The evacuees then began to return to their former towns or bases, as if their lives had returned to their previous trajectories.

However, due to the fact that the Federation had injured their Yuan Qi, the defenses of the towns and cities were clearly inadequate. Seeing this opportunity, the planet natives who had been resisting the Federation took advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. The Scarlet Ghost that Roddy had mentioned earlier was one of the natives. They called themselves the Erma, meaning descendants of fire in the local language. This had a lot to do with the red skin of the Hulma people. At the same time, they were humans with extremely high affinity for fire-attributed Origin Energy, and their average combat strength among the natives of the planet was considered to be above average.

Allen and the others' destination for this mission was a production base outside of Gaussian City, where they were responsible for producing various weapon parts, starship parts, and so on. Production resumed only half a month ago, but just six days ago a Hulma tribe attacked the base. Due to the lack of defensive strength, the base was quickly taken down. At present, the workers of the base, including a 100-member development team, are imprisoned by the Hulma people.

Among them were several important engineers, who were the precious assets of the Federation. The Hulma people requested the Federation to exchange hostages. If the Federation did not agree, they would slaughter all the hostages in three days. Now that the stronghold had sent an army to suppress them, Allen's mission was to sneak into the base and rescue the development team.

The addition to the mission stated that if the development team could not be rescued, three engineers would be preferred. For this operation, the Federation had given out a reward of rank three military merit points. It could be seen that they valued those engineers very much. Now, photographs of the three engineers have been sent to everyone's brains to make sure no one is mistaken.

Alan confirmed the details of the mission once again. He put down his brain and a young girl's face entered his eyes. Adele was staring at Alan with her sniper rifle in her arms. Seeing that he was looking over, his face suddenly flushed red, and he quickly turned his face away. Alan smiled and said, "It was an accident this time. I didn't think that Adele would be able to go on a mission with us."

Adele turned around and blushed. "There's nothing wrong with me at the family camp, and there hasn't been any news of outsiders lately, so my brother gave me a few days off. Anyway, I'm a member of the pack of wolves. Since I'm free, shouldn't I fulfill my duties as a member?"

"Yes, yes, with Adele's sniper cover, our mission will be even smoother." Lucy hugged the girl.

Adele pointed at Lucy and said, "What's the matter with this woman lately? She looks so excited."

Alan laughed dryly twice, and Lucy said, "Sister is in a good mood these days, so I won't argue with you."

"Stop coquettish, let go of me." Adele grinned and pushed Lucy away.

Seeing the two women playing, Alan felt very happy. At this time, the tactical board rang, and an icon for a communication request was flashing. After clicking on it, Celine's figure appeared on the screen. She wore half a mask and a smile appeared on her face. "Boss, we seem to be being followed."

Ellen said calmly, "Do you know who it is?"

"There are no signs, but from the soldier's conversation, it seems to belong to the Goliath family." Celine narrowed her eyes. "Do you want me to cause them some trouble?"

'"No, don't act rashly. We are on a mission and will meet up with the Union army. In this situation, the Goliath family will not just send a few puppies to cause trouble for us. I guess Toure is likely to be inside. I really can't think of anyone else in the Goliath family who can put on a show except him." Alan was not surprised at all. He had crippled Hamm in the Blood Gate Stronghold. It would be strange for Toure to be able to swallow this breath.

It was reasonable to follow him at this time and wait for an opportunity to make a move. But if Toure thought he was an easy-to-eat piece of cheese, he was wrong. Perhaps when he took a bite, he discovered that it was a bone that could pierce through his stomach.

"Let the lynx people watch, you send a few more people responsible for protection. Stay still for now. I don't think they dare to make a move on the way, because that would attract the interference of the military. After all, if this led to the bankruptcy of the plan, Toure would probably not be able to withstand Russen's anger. Therefore, if Toure wanted to make a move, the best time would be to hand over the rescued hostages to the military after the mission was completed. Alan smiled. "He could have made us look like we were attacked by the planet's natives and let them take the blame." I can sell out such an idea. "

Celine laughed heartily and said, "Then I'll go notify the lynx."

"Go."

After closing the tactical board, Alan raised his head. Lucy asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing much. A dog is following us. He thinks we are delicious fat meat." "But this piece of meat will burn it to death," said Alan calmly.
