Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 617: Mission

The second-class battle merit was the entrance ticket to the central battlefield of the Garden of Eden. There is no doubt that such special missions also exist on several other planets. This was undoubtedly a signal to the participants. There was probably only one spot to enter the central battlefield. Of course, apart from this method, participants could also achieve the same conditions by accumulating military contributions. This did not sound difficult. However, the level of military merit was only at the tenth level. As long as one imagined the difficulty of killing ten Dark Titans, they would know that it was not an easy task to obtain a second-class merit.

Moreover, this special task was not easy to complete. It included two conditions. Not to mention figuring out the foreign race's strategic intentions on the planet, it was enough to cause a headache to dig out the location of the enemy's main force. After all, even an asteroid like Coldfrost was large enough in human units. It's so vast that in a few years or more, you can't go anywhere on this planet.

Just the first condition would wipe out many people. Those who were able to fulfill the two requirements, apart from being extremely strong, also needed to have the same amount of luck.

Upon hearing about the special mission and the military merit level rewarded, the participants' faces were filled with joy. Very quickly, he thought of the difficulties, and the smile on his face quickly turned into a bitter smile. In the end, they decided to complete some routine tasks and accumulate some military contributions before making any plans. As for special missions, they were effective for a long time anyway. If one was lucky enough, they would be able to complete them casually at that time.

However, many people were hopeless. After all, the chances of completing the mission were too slim. Rather than chasing after a slim chance, it was better to firmly grasp the military merits that could be obtained in front of him. In terms of mission selection, most of the participants chose exploration missions, although this was also a lucky job. However, it was precisely because of this that he had the chance to obtain a large number of military contributions.

As for the designated missions, such as clearing dangerous creatures and recapturing the mining areas occupied by the planet's natives. First, their military contributions were limited, and secondly, the content of the mission was boring, and almost no one paid any attention to it.

This was within Ned's expectations, but when he saw that many experts had filled in their quests and chose an exploration area, he smiled bitterly. Due to the limited scale of the Castellan base, the number of troops deployed was only enough to protect themselves. In the area controlled by the base, due to the appearance of the Yordon outsiders, the base's forces did not dare to be dispersed casually. Some of the planet's natives seized the opportunity to occupy mining areas that were previously under the control of the base, causing the harvesting indicators of the base to show a downward trend.

Originally, he had planned to use this mission as an opportunity to hope that the experts participating in the battle would be able to solve some of the difficulties for the base. But now, it seemed that this hope had fallen through. After all, the rewards for these missions were indeed limited, and it was difficult to satisfy the participants' appetite. Ned had already planned to reformulate the mission, such as moving the exploration area slightly closer to the occupied areas next time, so that the participants could solve the problems of the base while exploring.

Suddenly, Ned heard the adjutant giving him a big wink. He drove over and saw the words'sweep the occupied area 'appearing on the latest taskbar. He walked over in surprise and saw the name "Allen" in the column of the mandate holder.

"This young master actually chose a specific mission?" This time, even Ned was surprised.

"Sweeping through the occupied area?"

In front of a shed at the base, Ellen was examining the two all-terrain tactical speeders that had been given to him and writing his name on the sign-in bar. Regis complained, "It's so boring, and there's so little military service. With our strength, the exploration mission is more suitable, isn't it?"

'"It won't be boring. Think about it. When we reach our destination, the natives in the occupied area will be left to Young Master Regis to handle. I think you'll be busy for a while, right?" He tapped on his head.

Regis pushed Ellen's hand away and said angrily, "It's taking advantage of me, treating me like a free labor agent!"

Lucy smiled and handed a set of field supplies to Alan, who threw it into the tactical flying car and spread out his hands. "You said it was boring, but I didn't satisfy your needs. Young Master Regis, you're really hard to accept."

Seeing that Regis was about to slash someone with his knife, Alan stopped teasing him and said seriously, "Alright, I also know that the assigned mission has little military merit." But that's what many people think. Look, the exploration area was cleanly scratched by them in a few seconds. However, this kind of mission was purely a test of luck, taking Earth time as a cycle of seven days. "If they didn't even encounter an outsider army during this period of time, then they would only be painting the earth and discovering some snow crystals associated with them. At best, their military contributions would be equivalent to a designated mission."

"But a week's time is enough for us to complete at least two assigned tasks. If Young Master Regis was fast enough, he might be able to complete three or four more. This added up to quite a bit of merit points. If we were luckier, for example, when we completed a mission and an outsider army barged in and was taken care of by us, wouldn't we get more military credit than the exploration mission? Allen smiled and said, "More importantly, we have to rely on the base as a resupply point and a resting area in the frost." I don 't think we' ll lose out if we can earn merit points and solve some problems for them and win lieutenant colonel neid 's favor. josei

"From what you said, there seems to be some truth in it." Regis tilted his head and said, "But you must keep your word."

"What?"

"Leave the natives in the occupied area to me."

"Young Master Regis is willing to help. We can't wait." Alan said as he squeezed his eyebrows at the other two.

"I want one myself," Rainer said as he walked over and jumped into a flying car.

"What's the reason?"

"I won't accompany you in sweeping through the occupied area. I've received an exploratory mission alone. I'll see you in a week." Without giving Alan a chance to object, Reina closed the car door. The engine at the bottom of the tactical flying car spewed out a few bursts of hot smoke. The flying car rose from the ground and slowly drove out of the shed.

"Bastard Rena, are you going to let the four of us squeeze into one?" Regis shouted angrily. Of course, Rena ignored him.

Alan shook his head and said, "We'll have to squeeze."

By the time they boarded the car, there were already flying cars driving out one after another. One of the cars purposely stopped beside Ellen and the door rose. A young man inside smiled contemptuously and said, "What a surprise. The young master of the Bescot family actually chose a specific mission. Don't tell me he doesn't dare to explore the unknown region?"

"Stop talking about Cage. The eldest young master usually has guards to protect him, but he doesn't have any now." A gorgeous woman beside him covered her mouth and smiled.

Alan remembered that the man named Cage was the one who had cast a hostile gaze at him earlier in the restaurant. He sneered and turned around to ask, "Which family are you from?"

The man named Cage's smile stiffened and his eyes rolled, hesitating whether he should report it to his family. After all, Beth Cod was a colossus. If Alan found out about his family, it would be hard to say whether he would get revenge. While he was hesitating, Allen ignored him and got into the flying car. He only said, "Trash who doesn't even dare to report to the clan dares to provoke me? I really don't know where your confidence comes from."

After saying that, he closed the car door, causing Cage to puff out smoke. Alan, however, had already driven away with the flying car.

The holly forest is vast and long and narrow. The east-west direction is about 1,300 kilometers long, and the width is about 200-300 kilometers. This primeval forest covers the hilly area, the terrain is low to the east and high to the west. Apart from forests, there were also rivers, valleys, karst caves, mountain peaks and other geographic structures that would not freeze for a long time.

In this area, the Kaiyan base only controlled 300 kilometers to the east of the forest. Beyond this range was the area outside the control of the base. Although the other base outside the Holly Forest and Castellan Base were intertwined, the Forest of Winter could barely be said to be within the control of the Federation. However, deep west of the forest, it was a virgin land that the two bases had never explored before.

Currently, there were seven or eight snow crystal associated ores found in the Holly Forest, of which three were the most productive. Currently, two of them were under the control of Kaiyan base, while the other one was at the edge of the control area and was currently occupied by a headhunter tribe. As a high-level intelligent life form of Frost Star, there were hundreds of Head Hunter Tribes of all sizes. These tribes also fought against each other and did not form a united group. This gave the Federation and Adahua Planet many opportunities to split up. However, this tribe that occupied the Snow Crystal Mining Area was clearly not a friend of the Federation.

Allen's hands were freed when he switched to intelligent driving while the flying car was driving in the forest. In his tactical brain, he was displaying information about the headhunter tribe in the occupied area. The information provided by Kaiyan base was very limited. Because the totem of this tribe was marked by a clenched fist, Kaiyan base called them the Iron Fist Tribe.

The Iron Fist Tribe didn't have many people, and the total number of people was less than a hundred. Amongst them, there were about 30 adult warriors, ranging from level 12 to level 13 on average. The chief of the tribe was the most powerful headhunter, with a strength of Level 17 plus the natural geographical advantage of the Holly Forest. Unless Lieutenant Colonel Ned was willing to personally fight, the lives of officers below the colonel level would be in grave danger if they encountered the Iron Fist Chieftain in the forest.

Moreover, the direct distance between this mining area and Kaiyan base was about 270 kilometers. With the speed of a flying car, it would take half a day to travel. Ned wouldn't leave the base so easily at a time like this when the Yordon Outsiders appeared, let alone a mining area that would take him a whole day to travel back and forth. If anything unexpected happened during his departure from the base, he, the little lieutenant colonel, would not be able to shoulder the responsibility.
