Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 607: Sacrifice

"Why don't you stay in the clan army and participate in some free hunt? Be careful of getting killed. Your Judy is also here, isn't she?"

The two of them walked side by side on the corridor. Alan looked out of the window of the corridor. Outside the window, one could see the mysterious outer space. The high-speed frigates floating in the surroundings were dyed crimson by the sunlight. Leon stopped and said by the window, "I've been with the army for more than half a year. It's time to train myself. A good commander doesn't just command the army. Besides, those who have ulterior motives will only act if they leave the family army. By then, I should have caught a big fish, right?"

"Be careful that you can't catch any fish. You've turned into bait."

Leon laughed and clenched his fist and hammered Ellen's chest, "You dare underestimate me."

"Looks like you haven't improved much." Alan shrugged.

'"Good fellow, you're very arrogant now. I've heard about your fight with Reina. Young Master Allen condensed a projection before he reached Level 20. He really has the ability to be arrogant. But I'm not a vegetarian either. Why don't we practice?"

"Forget it, I still have the strength to slaughter more Catus or Grai Giants. If I win against you, I don't have any military merit. Why are you calling?"

Leon said angrily, "It's as if you're going to beat me."

"If it's a life-and-death duel, I'm sorry, yes." Alan met Leon's gaze calmly. With his current strength, he was no longer a match for someone below Level 25. No matter how fast Leon grew, he wouldn't be able to reach Level 25 in just half a year, so Alan was quite confident about this.

As if it was the first time he knew Alan, Leon looked him up and down and said, "When did you become so powerful? Remember the first time we met, you were beaten up by me."

Alan corrected him, "We were tied, tied."

'"Alright, so your strength has already expanded to this extent. Even I am curious about what's on Heaven's Planet that has allowed you to grow so quickly. However, exposing your strength is not a good thing. I heard that you and Major General Catherine looked very intimate before. There are quite a few people here who are thinking about you."

Allen's eyes lit up like flames. "Just let them come. As for Catherine, she's not what you think."

"You have a lot of stories, kid." Leon shook his head and said, "Didn't Adele come with you this time?"

"She seems to be staying in the family army."

"I heard that the Morsen Family and the Goliath Family have been very close recently."

Ellen shook his head. "Never heard of it."

Leon turned to look out of the window and said, "The Goliths have only been in Babylon for the last hundred years, and to you, Bescord, they are a small family." It's not surprising that you don't know, but for nearly half a century, the Goliath Clan has focused on cultivating their clan's martial power. Right now, amongst the middle and lower nobles, the army of this clan could be said to be the most prosperous. Their army, the Barbarian Hunters, had such outstanding results that even a business-oriented clan like Morsen was hard to come by. "

Alan finally recognized something. According to Leon, there was only one possibility if the Morsons had frequent dealings with Goliath. Since the two families were planning to join forces, the Morsen Clan naturally valued each other's martial power, while for Gullit, it was only natural that they valued each other's martial power. If he could climb up to an old clan like Mosen, it would be of great benefit to his clan's social status.

Moreover, the Morsen Clan had been doing business for generations, and their wealth was far beyond that of ordinary clans. Even some aristocratic families had to compete with them. With their financial support, Gullit would have a chance to advance by leaps and bounds.

"Now that Gullit's army has merged with the Morsen Family, the Barbarian Hunters are in full control of the Morsen Family. I heard that the reason why the Goliath Clan made such a huge concession was not only because of their previous dealings and cooperation in certain fields, but also because of the fact that they had made such a big concession. The Goliath family asked Old Kate for a marriage alliance, but Old Kate did not refuse. She only said that she would decide after the war. This undoubtedly gave the Goliath family a signal, and that was why they placed a heavy bet. "

Since the Barbarian Hunters had merged with the Morsen Clan, the military merits they had obtained naturally belonged to the Morsen Clan. This was undoubtedly a huge loss to the Goliath Clan. The Morsen Clan would definitely have to offer sufficient compensation, and this would probably include the marriage alliance. Ellen's eyebrows twitched. "What is the object of the marriage?"

Leon smiled bitterly. "You should know, shouldn't you?"

Of course Ellen knew who was more suited to be the victim of this political deal than Adele? Then the scene of that night came back to him, the helpless girl, the hesitant Adele, and the promised self.

Alan suddenly remembered that Adele had probably already known something, and had even foreseen her own unavoidable fate. Perhaps that's why she's actively approaching Ellen and hoping to escape by marrying him. Although that might have been another way of escaping, Allen did not agree. Perhaps Adele's choice to stay in the family army was a tacit acknowledgement of her impending fate.

"I thought Mr. Kate wouldn't sacrifice her." When Alan said those words, his tone was already filled with a trace of coldness.

Leon sighed. "Old Kate liked Adele, yes, but before he was a grandfather, he was first the head of the Morsons. He had more to think about than one Adele."

"I have stayed on Planet Heaven with her for so long, but we don't know anything about it. I really … neglected her." Ellen gritted her teeth and a flash of light flashed in her eyes. "But I promised Adele that I would keep her free as long as she didn't want to, even if she were to make an enemy of the Goliath family."

Leon shook his head and said, "Aren't you too impulsive? I want to say that you're stupid, but who cares? Count me in. At worst, I'll take the family out and crush Gullit. I'm just a playboy. What's wrong? Who told me I have the capital?"

"You want to interfere?" Alan frowned and said, "No matter how I look at it, your situation is not very good."

"Adele is also my good friend, and of course I don't want to see her sad. If you can't do what you want with your mother, there's no fun in that." Leon smiled and said, "Like you said, let us protect Adele's freedom."

Although he smiled, his gaze was extremely solemn.

Far away on the other side of the distant star path, Earth.

It was night, and Babylon was shrouded in a gentle night. The silver light of the bright moon passed through the window of the attic and landed on Adele. The girl was dressed in a ring. This was a tactical uniform that followed the style of a military uniform. There were a few light and agile armors piled beside her. When needed, he could directly equip his tactical uniform and enter the battlefield.

Adele tied her hair high and tugged at her sleeve, wiping the parts of the sniper rifle at her feet. There were also two automatic pistols beside him. The handles of the pistols had the patterns of little demons on them. Tomorrow was the time for the Morsons to set off, and Adele was ready to follow them. Although it was already late, she did not feel sleepy. She simply got up to wipe the firearms and do the best examination.

The pavilion was very quiet, so quiet that it made it easy for people to imagine. Adele wiped her gun, but her thoughts flew a thousand miles away.

I wonder how he is. Alan's face flashed in Adele's mind, and her hand slowed down a little. She shook her head and said in a self-deprecating whisper, "I don't have time to think of you now. Don't be so passionate, Adele." josei

Sophie, the maid who was sleeping not far away, rolled over and asked in a daze, "Miss, what did you say?"

"Nothing. You should go to sleep quickly."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Adele frowned. Who else would come so late at night? Sophie struggled to get out of bed and yawned as she opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol immediately surged in from outside. Before Sophie could see it clearly, there was already a hand on her chest. The maid screamed as her hand kneaded her chest.

"What the hell? Sooner or later, your young miss will be mine, and you are no exception. However, I didn't expect you to have such a figure. Not bad. Why don't you sleep with me at night?" A man came in, grabbed Sophie by the chest and sniffed her neck for a while before raising his head and smiling, "Dear Adele, you're still awake."

"Ham Goliath!" Adele suddenly stood up and said, "Release Sophie, and go back where you came from."

'How fierce, Miss Adele. But I like your temper. You see, Mr. Kate did not object to my father's request this evening. In that case, our wedding day is drawing nearer and nearer. But I can't wait that long. Tonight, give you to me!'

The youth named Ham pulled Sophie with one hand, kicked the door, and walked towards Adele. Adele sneered and raised the pistol on the ground and pointed it at the man. "I advise you to stop. You don't look in the mirror. Who are you? You want me just because of you? What a joke. Even if you fuck a dog, I won't fall for you."

Hamm was furious. He was also considered the handsome young man of the clan. One of the conditions attached to handing the army over to the Morsons was that they would marry Adele. Old Kate did not respond positively to this question, but she did not reject it. She was obviously considering it. Tomorrow, he will be on the list of both Hamm and Morsen, and tonight, he will be staying at the Morsen's house.

With the smell of alcohol, he wanted to take the opportunity to cook raw rice with Adele, so that Old Kate wouldn't go back on her word. This action had already been approved by his father, so how could he have known that Adele's poisonous tongue would reach this point? He didn't give him any face, and even pointed out that he wasn't even as good as a dog. Ham was too young to swallow this breath.
