Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 621: Harvest

"… I was really shocked when he suddenly bit over. Fortunately, Ellen analyzed these natives before, otherwise he might have accidentally bit them." 'It's really chocolate, but I prefer roasted meat. It's better to have roasted lamb chops and vanilla,' he said as he tore open a high-energy nutrient wrapper and took a bite.

Alan shook his head and said, "Why don't you eat real food? Besides, nutrients aren't going to make the kind of complex flavors you want, are they?"

"But then again, Young Master Regis alone has overturned all the headhunter warriors, plus a sheikh. This is truly amazing." Belmond placed his hand on Regis's shoulder. "When you get back, treat me to a drink and treat me to a celebration."

"Why should I treat you to a drink to celebrate?" Regis protested.

"Don't be so serious. Isn't there a saying that Lele alone is inferior to everyone else?"

Beside the campfire, the few of them were chatting and laughing. They were not as nervous as they should be when they were on a mission. The flames shone red in Alan's eyes. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at Regis, who was struggling to resist Belmond's exploitation.

"Looks like you're quite happy." Lucy, who was standing beside him, looked at Alan with her chin propped up.

Alan nodded and said, "I wish everyone could stay together forever, you know. I was alone before I came to Babylon, so I feel lucky to be able to fight with everyone now."

Lucy grabbed one of his arms and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to shake us off in the future. And I think there will be more and more people, especially women."

Alan looked at her doubtfully and Lucy snickered, "I think that Christine is not bad either. Should we dig her up?"

"I don't think Reese will agree. There are pitifully few people in his team who can fight."

"There's no need for him to agree. You just have to make Christine fall in love with you. I think it's quite easy. Isn't that girl looking for you to spar with? In my opinion, you should beat her fiercely once. Trust me, if a strong woman like her loses to a man, she will try her best to win back. But in the process, she had unknowingly lost, even if she could win in the end.

She looked at Lucy with pride, as if she knew a woman like the back of her hand. Alan frowned and said, "Why does it sound like you're pushing me so hard towards another woman? You used to do that to your teacher, but now you're thinking of Christine."

"Nothing. Isn't it better for you guys to like more women? I'm trying to please you, Lord Allen." Lucy pretended to be pitiful and made Ellen's teeth itch. josei

But he always felt that this girl seemed to be hiding something?

"Alan, anyway, the people from the base will only come later. Let's have a competition." Cried Regis excitedly.

Alan's attention was drawn to him. Looking at him in the fire, Lucy lowered her head and said in a voice that she could only hear, "Idiot, I'm afraid that if I can't be with you in the future, there will be someone else next to you even if I leave. In that case, you won't feel lonely."

The young girl's voice was quickly drowned out by the sounds of swords and knives. Alan and Regis had already exchanged hands by the fire. The two of them constantly exchanged positions. Although they did not use Origin Energy, the sword-to-sword exchange revealed a sense of danger and viciousness. Belmond smiled as he looked at the two brothers. However, under their saber-light and sword-shadows, he saw a girl with a bleak figure on the other side.

The smile on Belmond's face gradually faded, and Lucy stood up and turned away from the fire.

Not far from the fire, the abandoned crane was bathed in the cold moonlight. Lucy sat down on her boom alone, bent her knees, and looked up at the unclear night sky of Frost Star. Behind him, a gentle breeze blew and Belmond's voice rang out, "It is absolutely not polite to disturb a lady. However, if His Highness has something that he cannot tell Young Master Allen, if he trusts me, there is no harm in revealing it to me. Even if I cannot solve it, His Highness does not need to hold it in his heart alone. It will suffocate people."

The cold wind at night messed up Lucy's hair. She pulled up a few strands of her hair and smiled, "Alan said you had a gentle heart. It seems he was right, though, not to look at you being cold and heartless on the battlefield."

The cold moonlight cast on Lucy blurred her silhouette, and only her jade eyes were translucent. Belmond could see a slightly surprised expression on his face in her eyes. "So that's what Master Allen thought of me."

"Belmond, you are his follower. In a way, you are closer to him than I am, so can I ask you one thing?" Said Lucy, turning her head. Raising her small face, she let the moonlight draw a perfect line on her face.

Belmond put on a dignified expression and bowed with his right hand on his chest, "Your Highness, please speak."

"If, if one day, I can't stay by his side anymore, please be sure to protect him …"

"This is my responsibility. But Your Highness …"

Lucy shook her head. "Don't ask, at least not now. I don't want to bother Alan any more. I just want to make some preparations."

'"Of course, I won't leave Allen easily no matter what happens in the future. He's the best boy I've ever met!" She said straightforwardly.

Seeing Lucy rejuvenate, Belmore smiled and did not answer. Suddenly, his smile stiffened, and his gaze became sharp as he looked in the direction of the mine gate. Lucy followed. Under the moonlight, there was a girl standing at some unknown time near the gate of the mine. She likewise raised her head and met Lucy's eyes in midair. Under the moonlight, the two ponytails, one gray and one black, were dancing openly. However, in the girl's pair of black eyes, her gaze was so deep that it seemed as if it could drown everything.

Catherine!

Regardless of whether it was the two iconic ponytails or the general stars on the Federation uniform, they all marked her ident. I.ty. Lucy and Belmond exchanged glances and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. Why would the Federation Major General appear on Frost Star at this moment?

The campfire was blown about by the wind, making Catherine's little face look uncertain under the light of the fire. She sat silently on the ground, bent her legs, and rested her chin on her knees like a harmless girl. However, the Scorpion Spear Snake Sickle, which frightened the enemy, was quietly placed next to his feet. The flames dyed the two magical weapons crimson, and it looked like blood energy was wreathed around them.

Allen and the others, I look at you, you look at me, can't guess why Catherine came. After entering the mine, the young major general sat by the bonfire like this, looking dumbfounded. However, there was a ripple of light in his eyes, and he was obviously thinking about something.

Catherine suddenly raised her head and looked at the backpack at Regis' feet. A nutrient slid out of her backpack and Catherine licked her lips with her soft red tongue, "I'm hungry. Give me a nutrient."

Alan tried his best to spin his head faster, but he couldn't figure out why Catherine had come all the way to the Snow Crystal Mine. Of course, even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that this Major General, who was known as the God of Death, was only doing it for the sake of food.

"What? Are you reluctant to part with me?" Catherine raised her eyebrows. "I'll help you get rid of the Dark Titan anyway. Don't tell me you won't even give me a nutrient?"

'"So it's you" Alan felt that the Giant's dying counterattack was interfered with by other people, so he didn't activate it in the end. However, there was no discovery at that time, and it was only now that Catherine had pierced through it herself that Allen came to a sudden realization.

Regis hurriedly tossed the nutrients to Catherine, who took a bite without hesitation, then chewed and said, "You guys are too big to attack the Dark Titan's Origin Core without doing anything." Do you know that the Origin Core is the place where the dark Origin Energy of a giant is most dense, just like the magic energy reactor of a starship? If the Titan of Darkness cooperates with your attacks, he will sacrifice his life to explode the darkness origin energy in the Origin "That power is enough to annihilate all of you on the spot. Look at you attacking the Origin Core just like that. Even I was sweating for you."

Alan and the others looked at each other. How did they know that the Dark Titan had such a counterattack? Thinking about it now, if Catherine hadn't stopped the giant from moving, they wouldn't have been able to sit here right now. Allen then said, "Thank you, General, for all that you've done."

Catherine waved her hand casually, indicating that she didn't need to take it to heart. Then she ate a nutrient in her stomach three or two times. Catherine patted her flat belly and raised her head. "Well, since I ate one of your nutrients, I owe you a favor. Well, Ellen, stay here, and the others scram."

Her little face was calm, and her eyes didn't change at all, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. After a while, Allen and the others reacted. Belmond frowned and said, "Is there something the general wants from Young Master Allen?"

"Yes." Catherine nodded and said seriously, "I'm going to kill him."

Apart from Alan, the other three thought they had heard wrong. Lucy jumped up and shouted, "You want to kill Alan? Why?"

"Why?" Catherine raised her head and looked at Lucy word for word, "The shepherd keeps the cattle and sheep and slaughters them when they are strong enough. The cattle and sheep will ask why. Do you think the shepherd cares?"

"But Ellen is not a cow or sheep!"

"Indeed, he is much more precious than cattle and sheep. So I thought for a long time and decided to kill him in the end. I no longer have the patience to wait any longer. Now is the time to harvest!" Catherine's face was as cold as ice, and the ripples in her eyes were incomparably deep as she spat out these murderous words from her mouth.
