Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 644: A Storm Is Approaching

A storm was approaching.

As Reese stood on a high slope that was almost flooded with grass, he used an electronic telescope to scan the temporary camp of an outsider coalition army.

After Lieutenant Colonel Ned recalled all the hunting teams that were on missions outside, the base changed and issued new missions. The new missions included early reconnaissance, late assistance in defense, and battles. Reese naturally accepted the reconnaissance mission. Two days later, he was able to sense the movements of the coalition forces and finally found their camp today.

The Catus could be seen everywhere in this temporary camp. As expected, they were synonymous with chaos. The Catus army could not see such things as military discipline at all. The Catus piled up in twos and threes, either sitting or sleeping in every corner of the camp. They chatted and laughed loudly as they tore at the bloody beast meat. There was no lack of improvisation among them, and they directly fought in the camp. One or two of these savage Barbarian Stone Astral Cultivators weren't terrifying, but when they gathered together in large numbers, they could produce tremendous destructive power.

If anyone were to direct this barbaric and violent force.

The Catus do not have so-called commanders, and their army is highly disorganized. This was completely different from the Grai, who were accustomed to coming and going alone. However, when the Giant Chief gathered them and formed an army, they would strictly obey the orders of their commanders and obey them unconditionally. This was because the Grai Giants were limited in number and easy to manage. At the same time, it was their inexplicable sense of honor that was at work. Every giant gathered by the Giant Lord was deeply honored. Therefore, they would become the most valiant soldiers on the battlefield, destroying every enemy the Giant Lord wanted them to destroy.

At this moment, Reese saw more than a dozen Grai giants in the camp. Fortunately, he didn't see Titan Dark's figure, which made him feel a little relieved. Otherwise, if Dark Titan were to lead this army of nearly a thousand men, there would be no need to defend Castellan Rock Base. Unless they had the support of other bases, with the size and firepower of Castellan Rock Base, they would not be able to withstand the Dark Titan's attacks.

As long as the pitch-black giant attacked a few times, he would probably be able to tear apart the defensive line of the base. At this moment, there were no experts in the base that could rival the Dark Titan. Now that this army did not have the Dark Titan, it could be said to be a great fortune amidst misfortune.

Reese tapped his headset and whispered, "We've got the intel. Prepare to retreat. Hilary, you can come back. Luma, keep an eye on those rhinoceros heads. I don't want them to bite my butt. Christine, get the flying car ready."

After making some arrangements, Reese quietly retreated from the high slope. Down the slope, he went straight into a forest, met Hillay, and came to the storage area of their flying motorcycles. Christine had already helped them start the flying car, and Luma was lying in wait at the commanding heights. Keep an eye on the rear and provide cover when necessary.

"Boss, what level of military merit do you think we can get from this mission?" Hillay asked excitedly as he stepped onto the flying motorcycle.

Reese smiled and said, "Probably quite a few. After all, the two armies are facing each other, and the military intelligence is first. Let's go, we need to bring back the information quickly so that the base can make preparations. There are quite a few of them. There are seven or eight hundred Catus warriors in this army. I don't want to believe what it would be like for those hundreds of rhinos to charge together."

The Catus were barbaric, stupid, and had no military discipline to speak of. However, these shortcomings did not prevent them from being valiant warriors on the battlefield only after the Grai Giants. They were even more fanatical about fighting, and the Catus were even more fanatical. They were like wild beasts, wounded and bleeding, unable to scare them back. The only way to stop them on the battlefield was to take their lives completely.

Otherwise, these berserk warriors would only fight harder and harder.

The flying motorcycle rolled up into a blizzard. Reese drove ahead, while Hilary and Christine followed on both sides. The three of them formed an arrow and quickly drilled into the depths of the forest, pointing in the direction of Kaiyan base.

"If I can get a rank four merit, then I can exchange for that Night Owl. Head, that dagger is simply a symbol of a noble. It fits my status." Hillay said loudly from the car, even more excited than his hands.

Reese, who was wearing a blindfold, turned around and said, "Save your breath. If we were to exchange for a rank three military merit, we would have to help Christine exchange for that pair of knives, the Scarlet Eye." "Her current Frost is no longer able to keep up with her strength. Christine is an important melee force in our team and is the guarantee for our survival. Therefore, I have decided to give priority to improving her combat strength. Do you have any objections?"

Luma agreed first on the headset, and Hillay smiled, "Of course not."

However, he tightened his grip on the flying car by three points.

"That's good, Hillay, I..."

At the end of Reese's words, a sharp sound of air breaking suddenly rang out in the forest. At the same time, Luma's roar rang out on the communication channel, "Be careful, there's an enemy!"

The burly man's rough voice still echoed in the channel. An old tree suddenly exploded in the middle, and a red bolt of lightning flashed out from behind the tree trunk. It was a spear that was glowing with red light and shot towards Hillay's heart with a shocking scream. Clearly, the one who threw the spear was an expert. Hillay screamed and wriggled with all his might, causing the spear to shoot into the air. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. His mind relaxed slightly, and a second bolt of red lightning arrived.

This time, Hillay could no longer dodge, so he could only roar loudly and pull out his dagger from his waist and thrust it towards the spear.

Ding! A sharp sound of metal friction rang out. Hillay's dagger shattered inch by inch. The spear shot into his chest with lightning-like lightning, lifting him off the flying car and nailing him into an old tree beside the road. The old tree was shaken to the point that its branches and leaves trembled and countless layers of snow fell. Hillay opened his eyes wide and looked at his chest with difficulty after a moment. A large hole had already been blasted open by the origin power on the spear. If one looked inside, one could even see Hillay's shattered heart.

"No, save me" He only shouted these words, tilting his head and losing his breath.

All of this happened too quickly, from Luma's warning to Hillay's murder, but in just a few seconds. These few seconds were enough time for Reese to turn the car around. Christine rolled down the snow, but she was unable to stop Hillay from being killed. On a low slope about a kilometer away from the site of Hillay's death stood a Catu. His long hair was tied in dozens of tiny pigtails and his cheeks were painted. A cloak made of animal hide hung down from his shoulder, and three red spears stood up from the back of the cloak. The materials of these spears were like crystal stones, and they were naturally covered in dark red fine lines. The tip of the spear chiseled out a blood slot, increasing the lethality of the spear. The owner of the spear had a fierce and solemn aura, and his gaze was deep, completely different from that of an ordinary Cato warrior.

Red Spear Stark was also a slightly famous expert amongst the Catus. He was also the commander of this attack on Castellan Base. He waved his hand and shouted in the direction of Reese and the others, "Kill the intruders!"

As if in response to Stark's orders, dozens of Catus warriors suddenly surged out from the forest behind Reese and Kieran. Many of these Berserkers were carrying beam rifles they had bought from the Nilms, and they opened fire on Reese and Christine as soon as they appeared. Blood-red beams of light pierced through the air, causing the nearby snow to explode one after another. Under the cover of the friendly fire, another batch of Gaztu warriors armed with sabers and axes charged forward, attacking aggressively.

"What the hell, have we been discovered?" Reese didn't complain and immediately retaliated with the light beam machine gun on the flying motorcycle, shouting in his headphones, "Quick, Luma. Cover us!"

Christine glanced at Hillay's corpse, then took out her knives and threw them at him. Reese sighed and concentrated his firepower in Christine's direction to cover for the girl. josei

A loud voice rang out in the forest. It was the sound of sniper equipment. A Gaztu warrior with a beam rifle exploded into pieces, blood and debris drifting about, and his corpse fell to the ground. The sniper rifle fired three times in a row, and Luma's bullets were fully fired, knocking down the opponent's firepower one by one.

This gave Christine a chance to attack.

The girl's figure moved nimbly through the enemy's beams of light, flashing past those high-energy beams that could cause her serious injuries. In an instant, she had already pounced into the small team of Catu Warriors. Christine's two sabers, "Frost", were like its name, dancing in the air with two chilling balls of light. The Christians moved through the enemy formation like a whirlwind. They entered through a gap between two blades, leaving behind fatal wounds in the gap between the armor of the Catus warriors.

In the blink of an eye, she had knocked down half of the Catus.

A furious roar of thunder rang out, followed by the sound of trees falling. Reese looked up and saw old trees being uprooted from time to time and jumping into the air. "No, no, no, no, it's the damn Grai Giant. Luma, it's the Giant! Kill him!" He said repeatedly.

At the end of the scream, a few large trees suddenly flew up and shot towards Christine like arrows. Behind the tree shadow, a Grai giant roared, shaking the wind and snow. Then, he pushed his legs hard and soared into the sky, landing on Christine like a meteor.

The young woman's twin sabers rotated and the frost saber light burst forth, cutting the tree into small branches. Suddenly, it darkened above his head. The giant was pouncing at him obliquely. Suddenly, a fireball exploded on his side. Then, Luma's rough voice sounded in his headset, "Look at how powerful this daddy is!"

Another fireball exploded on the giant's chest. The giant was shot down from the air by a Origin Energy bullet with a heavy artillery shell attached to it. It fell onto the Catus' team in a sorry state, causing quite a commotion. Christine's eyes lit up as she leaned forward and dragged her sabers into the Catus. Blood splattered everywhere she passed, killing the Catu warriors to the point that they were thrown upside down.

But Christine's target was the Grai Giant!
