Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1469: Courage

Catherine walked into the command post. Several generals were discussing various tactics in front of the three-dimensional sand table. A general accidentally looked up and saw Catherine. He hurriedly said, "General Catherine, why are you here? You haven't fully recovered yet. You need to rest more."

"I'm fine, Lincoln?"

The generals glanced at each other and a lieutenant general said, "Major General Lins' body is already in the freezing cabin in the blink of an eye. We will hold a funeral for him when he is sent back to Earth."

Catherine nodded and asked, "What's new with the Kidds?"

The generals had strange expressions on their faces, and the lieutenant general replied, "There are some situations, but it's very strange. The Kidds seem to be preparing to leave."

"Evacuate?"

"Yes, General. You can take a look at these." The lieutenant general made a gesture and the three-dimensional sand table disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a four-sided light screen that could be seen from any position.

On the screen, a large number of people were gathering at the Kidd base to board the ship. Above the base, starships flew into the sky one after another. Some of the brass-clad transport and engineering ships had already left and entered the floating interstellar mothership.

Judging from the scene, the Kidds did have a tendency to evacuate, but they had no reason to do so.

The current situation was good for the Kidds, and the generals couldn't figure out why the Kidds had left at such a time. The lieutenant general said in a low voice, "We thought of launching an attack to test it, but now their defenses are starting to retreat. It doesn't look fake."

Catherine nodded and said, "Probably. So, what happened to the Mechanical Star? Or was it fighting with the people of Nelm? Anyway, it's always a good thing for us. Continue to monitor them. If the Kidds leave, then we can meet up with the Queen of Roses and..."

"Strike straight at the Imperial City of Steel!"

The generals responded loudly. This was indeed a good opportunity. If it weren't for the Kidds, the troops left behind by the Nelm on Mo Suo would not be able to defend against the attacks of the two Federation Legions.

After arranging a few things, Catherine left the military headquarters. Although she was fine, how could her injuries recover so quickly? Now that the Kidds had begun to withdraw, Katherine had no chance to fight until they had completely withdrawn from Mo Suo Star. It was a good time to recuperate and heal her injuries. She returned to the medical class for treatment and, at the doctor's request, lay in the medical cabin.

At this time, the Milky Way had already seen the inner circle defense line of the Federation that was set up in the city. This was a block before, and the Federation had already razed it, clearing out an open area. A tall armored wall separates the interior and exterior of the defensive area. In front of the armored wall are fortifications similar to turrets, bunkers, and high-energy cannon platforms. However, after passing through a group of land chariots and soldiers, they ensured that no flies would fly into the defensive zone.

After the previous defeat, the Federation retracted its front lines and used a high-pressure defensive posture in response to the Kidds' attack. This line of defense was undoubtedly exceptionally strong. The Kidds had already lost a lot of soldiers on this line of defense. There was no need to verify the strength of this line of defense.

Of course, the fortification of the defensive line was only for the Kidd army. In the eyes of a super expert like the Milky Way, this defensive line became dispensable.

Because of this, the number of experts in the armies on both sides, especially those at the top, was crucial in a war. If they were unable to contain the enemy's experts, or even fell to a disadvantage or were suppressed in the competition between the experts, then the war would be one-sided.

Enemy experts would charge in, upsetting the balance of power on the battlefield, and the scale of the war would tilt towards the side where the strong dominated.

For example, in the eyes of the Milky Way, this line of defense that could block thousands of troops was unable to withstand a single blow. She didn't even have any intention of concealing herself. She used her Origin Energy so fiercely that her entire body was wrapped in a dazzling Origin Energy flame as she slashed towards the other end of the defense line like a meteor.

When the Milky Way crossed the wall and landed in the defensive zone, the soldiers on this section of the defensive zone finally reacted, and then an ear-piercing alarm sounded. Galaxy had a cold and arrogant smile on his face as he raised his hand and shot towards a land war chariot that was heading towards her. The meteor shot out a ribbon of light, and it passed through the chariot like a galaxy. The chariot immediately disintegrated in the explosion, and the entire top cover and turret were lifted away!

Alarms rang out in the command center. Several generals looked at the big screen, which was showing the Milky Way charging towards the defensive base. The chariots of the Federation army were unable to withstand a single blow from her, and they were simply unable to stall for time.

At this moment, the highest ranked lieutenant general in the command post said in a low voice, "Where are the enemies?"

"We've already broken through to the middle defensive zone, General!" A tactical staff officer shouted.

"It's so fast. We can reach the base in less than five minutes." The lieutenant general narrowed his eyes and said, "Is she the platinum royal Catherine met? It looks like she's here for General Catherine."

"Do you want to notify the general?" A major general asked.

The lieutenant general sighed and said, "You have seen General Catherine's situation. She is simply trying to endure her injuries. Even if she can fight now, she will most likely lose. Also, let me ask you, how long do we have to rely on a girl to protect us?"

"Could it be that the men of the Federation only dare to hide behind women and fight?" "This time, let me protect General Catherine. Even if I risk my life, I won't let anything happen to the general."

"I'll go too."

"And me!"

One general after another strode to catch up with the lieutenant general. The youngest major general also wanted to catch up, but was stopped by his colleagues. The 30-year-old general smiled warmly, "You stay."

"Why?" The young general's face flushed red. "I can fight too. Do you think I don't have the courage to face a platinum royal?"

'"No, I have no doubt about your courage, General David. But you should know that this is a life-or-death battle. We can only hold off the royal family. During this period, we need someone to take General Catherine away. Do you understand? You have to do this!"

He shook the young general's shoulder and quickly left the headquarters to catch up with the generals in front of him. Major General David felt that the world in his eyes had become blurry for a moment. He lowered his head and walked out of the headquarters, heading in the direction of the medical class.

A moment later, seven or eight auras rushed into the defensive area. At the same time, a flying car drove out of the medical team and headed towards the airship's docking point. In the flying car, Catherine was still lying in the medical cabin. The medical cabin was completely isolated from the outside world, and Catherine, who was already deep asleep, could not feel the aura of the Milky Way at all. He didn't know that seven generals were stalling the Milky Way for her, just like Lin Si had done.
