Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 625: Family Honor

The sky was dark and the mountains were quiet. Catherine stood on the hillside where Alan had jumped down, facing the cold wind alone. The cold night wind was an invisible knife, but Catherine was undoubtedly the toughest rock in the world. The wind was as sharp as a knife, but it did not harm her cold and beautiful face at all. Her gaze was faint, as if ripples of the Nether River flowed, landing on the river that was rapidly heading west. The river surged, reflecting a faint scaled light, as if it was flowing to the end of the world, disappearing into the endless darkness of the night.

Catherine stood there, and the traces of Ellen on the ground were floating in her eyes. The information is received, calculated, and simulated by the brain. She could "see" the scene of Alan skimming over the high slope, leaping into the air like a bird, crossing ten meters into the air like a fish, and finally falling into the river.

A faint smile gradually appeared on the girl's face, and the corners of her lips curled into a hint of elusiveness, "I will find you." She said, then descended the slope like a night bird across the sky, but did not fall into the river, only floating to the riverbank. Touching his toes lightly, he dodged like a ghost, gradually becoming one with the boundless night, without any distinction between them.

Three days.

Time flies, thought Lucy. Ever since Alan left with Catherine, she hadn't heard anything from him. These three days were like three years to her, and every minute was a torment to Lucy. Catherine was no ordinary opponent. If one were to use the power of the Dark Titan as a reference, then Catherine would most likely be stronger than the giant.

No matter how fast Allen grew, he was still no match for a powerhouse like Catherine. For Lucy, not receiving any news of Catherine's return to Sunrise meant that Alan was still alive. It was just that Lucy didn't know how long he could last and whether he could escape death.

The empress of Adahua Planet was already considering whether to use her own strength to prevent this matter, but doing so would be equally costly. Her father, the great king of justice, Orfasis, was waiting for her to show her weakness. Once she showed weakness, Lucy knew very well what she would be greeted with. No matter what, one of them must be the responsibility of the royal family. That responsibility would eventually separate her from Alan.

That was the last thing she wanted to see.

So at this moment, she was sitting on the cold metal armchair, so embarrassed that even Regis could not hear the report on the completion of the mission to Lieutenant Colonel Ned clearly. All the words turned into a buzzing noise in her ears, and her heart could no longer hold much sound at this moment.

It was not until a mocking laugh entered her ears that it pierced through Lucy's sensitive heart like a sharp thorn, almost causing her to jump up in reflex. But in fact, she only trembled slightly, and then the voices of the whole world returned faithfully to her ears, so she clearly heard a man say, "Three assigned tasks, almost one per day, are quite efficient." But could it be that our young master of Bescot doesn't even dare to accept an exploration mission with this little ability? Oh, right. "I don't think I've seen him lately. Could it be that the young master has been scared to go home by the frost natives?"

It was a haggard man with a head of nearly white blonde hair sticking to his forehead. It was as if his face was always covered in sweat, which made his hair look wet and unbearable. His sunken eye sockets, his sharp nose bridge, and his two thin lips, when combined, made people think of such words as acerbity and bitterness. The dark tactical suit and light gray armor on his body were covered in traces of different shades. A silver-plated waist chain hanging down from his waist was a triangular ornament. There were green spots on it, like traces of something's blood coagulating.

The auras of the people behind him were condensed and obscure, and they could tell with a glance that they were not mediocre hands.

But that doesn't mean he's qualified to slander Alan.

Lucy's jade eyes glowed with green light like high-grade jade. The green light was about to burst out from the fire. A sharp aura would be revealed, but her sharp aura was one step ahead of hers. The target was clear, pointing straight at the skinny man. The man's expression changed slightly, and his body suddenly straightened up. The two auras collided in the battle room, causing the spectators to feel the entire room tremble.

As for the man who spoke rudely, the light in his eyes was completely restrained. The room, the characters, and the tables and chairs were all removed from this strange world. It was not a deep darkness at first, and then a white light lit up at the end, as if a river of stars stretched out, and it was boundless and majestic. The white light expanded up and down, filling the man's field of vision in an instant. In this invisible light, two things gradually floated up.

It was as deep as the stars and eventually turned into Regis' eyes. The man was inexplicably shocked, knowing that he was captured by Regis' aura, which was why he had such a strange phenomenon. However, Regis didn't look like a brat at all, so it was reasonable for Alan to release this aura. But now that he came from another young Beth Cod, the man's heart could not be described as shocked.

Unexpectedly, the last wave was calm, and the next wave rose again.

Regis' aura dissipated, and another aura came from behind him. If Regis's aura was as vast and profound as a river of stars, then this aura was as violent and blazing as a volcano. The man and his companions felt that the temperature in the room had suddenly risen. Everything was dyed with a layer of dark red light like magma, and even sparks began to fly in the air.

Occasionally, Mars would collide and form tiny flame storms.

Such might!

"Nameless Rat, how dare you provoke our clan?" A deep voice sounded, each word beating in his heart like a drum.

The man turned his head and a tall figure crawled into the door of the battle room. As soon as he entered, he made people feel that the space was cramped and narrow. As he slowly walked over, his imposing aura caused people to retreat even more. Even the man who provoked him was no exception. Only when he reacted did he realize that he had already taken half a step back.

This half-step was like a slap on the face, burning with pain.

Then, he saw two red lights. They were buried in the depths of Rena's eyes, burning like volcanic lava!

The man was actually no shorter than Rena, but at this moment, his entire body was enveloped by Rena's figure. The pressure of Renaissance was like a mountain, making him unable to breathe. It wasn't until Rena moved his gaze away that he let out a big breath. Reina walked straight to Lucy and the others, then turned around and said, "I, Beth Cod, am only a man who died in battle, not a soldier who escaped. You have to provoke me. But I am not Alan, I will only respond with weapons. So before provoking me, you should call yourselves jacks. Otherwise, if I accidentally kill you, I will not give you a pension."

He laughed out loud and raised the bone-piercing warhammer in his hand. Countless traces of blood stained the warhammer, and it emitted a ferocious aura like a ferocious beast.

Thus, everyone in the battle room quieted down, and even the provocative man obediently shut his mouth. He glanced at Rena with a venomous gaze and waved his hand as he left.

Reina removed his identity token and tossed it to Ned, "Register your merits."

Ned remembered that he had chosen the quest, but Reina had already returned halfway through the quest cycle. In just the past half of the time, many problems have already been explained. Coupled with the warhammer that seemed to be stained with meat chips, Ned thought of more.

The Lieutenant Colonel looked at Rainer and then at Regis, and he had a new understanding of the Beth Cod family. If Alan and Bescord were to be included, the family would be able to maintain its rapid growth for at least the next 20 years as long as they had these three youths.

When the lieutenant colonel received the token, Reina looked at his other brother and said, "You're too gentle, just like Allen. You can kill a provocative fellow with one slash. By the way, why are you registering for military service, Allen?"

"It's a long story." "Ellen had to leave for a while," said Regis with a bitter smile.

"Could he really be a deserter?" Rena frowned.

Regis pulled him aside and whispered, "He's keeping an eye on Catherine. It's a complicated situation. Neither Catherine nor Alan wants to reveal it, so we can't report it. We'll have to wait for the results."

"Catherine? Catherine of Reaper?" "Why is Alan related to death?" Raynor's eyes lit up.

"I heard that something happened to them on Nether Domain Planet. You should ask Alan for details, if he can come back." Although Regis believed in Allen's strength, his opponent was Catherine. Even he didn't dare to say that Allen would definitely come back.

"What exactly is this Alan thinking? It's really irresponsible to throw away his team just like that." "Before he comes back, listen to me. He's not here, but Beth Cod can't be underestimated," Reynolds said domineeringly.

Regis was dissatisfied, but he also agreed with Reina's words. As a member of the family, he had long since understood that the family's honor was far above everything else. josei

"I heard that all of you were assigned missions?"

"That's Alan's decision, but this kind of mission is almost complete."

Reina walked over to Lieutenant Colonel Ned's office and turned around, "The assignment was not challenging at all, so this time, we'll take the exploration mission."

The last sentence was addressed to Ned.

Ned nodded, "You can choose to explore the area and range."

Reina circled him and walked to the tactical board. The big hand landed on the map on the tactical board, pointing at a point in the holly forest. Then, it slashed forward forcefully and circled around again. The area 500 kilometers long and 500 kilometers wide to the west of the forest fell into Rena's designated area: "This is it."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course." Reina's gaze fell on the map and he said in a voice he could only hear, "That guy should be here, right?"
