Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 210: Be Triggered at Any Moment

After a violent sweep, Catherine withdrew her snake sickle and wiped out the wolf rides. The girl dragged the sickle around, and the snake sickle pulled out a ripple of light from the Nether River. After the ripples, the rock walls on both sides of the mountain path seemed to have been sliced through by invisible sharp blades. Rocks sprayed out, and cracks appeared on each side to chase after the dark ripples. The waves of the Nether River quickly surged past the Saber Demon Warriors and only disappeared after advancing a hundred meters.

However, the Saber Demon did not feel any discomfort. They continued to charge forward. At this time, the rift behind them chased after him, extending along the Nether River's ripples. Wherever the crack passed, it was as if an invisible blade had flashed past. As the Saber Demon Warriors charged forward, their bodies slid down, like an invisible sharp blade on a mountain path, and they were sent to the door to be slaughtered.

Blood surged into the sky!

The Saber Demon General couldn't sit still any longer. Suddenly, Lei Pingdi shouted loudly. His hand was on the large sword on the side of the beast. He jumped off the Prison Fire Beast and landed heavily on the ground, producing a shockwave. The warriors on the left and right shook endlessly as they were knocked to the ground by the sudden lightning. Suddenly, the thunder sword pointed forward, and its fighting spirit was high. The Origin Energy in his entire body surged, forming such a large pattern of light on his body. As the patterns of light rose, origin energy erupted into the sky like a volcano, forming a projection of the ancestor above his head.

"Idiot." Catherine said softly. After putting away the sickle, she leaned forward and disappeared.

A moment after she disappeared, a wave of air exploded. In the next moment, the projection of the ancestor that was still forming above Hu Lei's head flashed with a dark nether light. The general's eyes, nose, and devil blood sprayed out. His surging Origin Energy was cut off. The Origin Energy flowed backwards, injuring his body first. The ancestral projection above was cut off by Catherine's knife. The girl rolled in the air, and the black and white ponytail was reflected in Hu Lei's eyes.

Hu Lei finally knew who he was facing.

Reaper Catherine!

Her strange hair color was the symbol of Catherine. As a high-ranking general of the Federation Army, how could this Saber Demon General Hu Lei not know the truth? The battle intent immediately scattered, and the Saber Demons who died under Catherine's hands were enough to form a mountain of corpses. In a way, she was even more frightening than Russen, the commander of the Death Spreading Army.

Suddenly Lei had the intention to retreat. If he knew that Catherine was guarding the sentry post, he would definitely not rashly barge in.

But it's too late.

Catherine landed lightly on the ground, spinning back and forth, and the man and the sickle turned into a thin slice of dark light that flashed across Hu Lei's left waist. Then, several flashes of nether light swept past the Saber Demon General's knees, chest, and neck. With a snap of her finger, Catherine retracted her knife and slid back. At this moment, the thought of being stabbed appeared in Hu Lei's mind.

Blood surged and blood essence poured out of Hu Lei's body. His head was cut off by a knife. When he fell to the ground, his eyes were still wide open. He still did not believe that Catherine had taken his life at the end of his move.

Catherine stopped. On the surface of the sickle formed from Origin Energy, the thunder's blood was shattered by the Origin Energy and disappeared.

The mountain path was completely silent.

Then the remaining Saber Demon warriors scrambled to escape the mountain path. Catherine smiled faintly, and the Underworld River in her eyes already reflected the corpses of these Saber Demons. She rubbed her body and rushed forward, her sickle dancing like a rain of blood, chasing after the scattered enemy troops.

As a result, this Saber Demon Thousand Men Team was completely annihilated, including Saber Demon General Hu Lei. In the sentinel battle, Katherine received another military contribution.

When the three of them returned to the sentry post, they saw a bloodstained mountain path. At the sentry post, Second Lieutenant Gossa was directing the evacuation, but Lucy and Catherine were idle. The former saw Alan running over immediately, while the latter sat quietly reading a book in a suitcase.

"It's great that you're back." Lucy blinked and said, "I have some good news for you. We're going back."

"You're back?" Alan looked at Catherine.

Catherine closed the letter and raised her head. "Before you arrived, the sentry post was attacked by the Saber Demon. Not only that, our secret sentry posts at the entrance to the plains have been taken down, only this one is left. When General Luson found out, he ordered us to retreat, that's all."

"There's going to be a war, Alan. It's a real war." Lucy's jade eyes sparkled and she said excitedly, "The saber demon's removal of the sentry post is a precursor to the attack. Now, the special bullet I made has finally come into use."

'"Miss, there's nothing to be excited about. It's a war. It's more likely to be a large-scale attack from the enemy. People will die." Welik said with a hand on his forehead.

"Unless the Shadow Stronghold is broken, your chances of making a move are slim. This is a war of death, not yours." Catherine continued to read.

Lucy made a face at her.

Despite Catherine's words, Alan could not remain calm. War, this would be the first time he had participated in a real war, and it was completely incomparable to the previous battles. No one knows what will happen in the war.

In the afternoon, the personnel and supplies of the sentry station began to withdraw. Allen and the others also returned to Shadow Stronghold along the secret tunnel in their trucks. Returning to the stronghold, Catherine arranged for Allen and the others to undergo the necessary repair and treatment. After soaking in the body repair solution for more than ten hours, Allen's injuries had basically healed.

He took the fangs to the sequencing workshop and used the tools of the workshop to repair the fangs. Unfortunately, Night Demon's workshop did not have any materials. Alan was unable to repair the energy conduction patterns on his fangs, so he could only use them as ordinary weapons. However, the material of the fangs was special, and Alan had already gotten used to it. Since the battle was over, he didn't have time to familiarize himself with the temporary replacement of weapons. Therefore, he still planned to continue using this bone knife and change it again when he had the chance in the future.

In the next few days, one could see signs of nervousness in the stronghold. Divisions arrived at the stronghold one after another. General Russen retracted his troops from other places in order to resist the Saber Demon's invasion. The Saber Demon's actions this time were clearly beyond his expectations. This made Russen too busy to pay attention to Alan. Alan could only see that the stronghold army was growing in number, and all the soldiers were mobilizing before the war.

Batches of supplies were continuously transported to the stronghold via transport trucks. Every day, magic energy flying ships descended from the stronghold's aerodrome, filling up the aerodrome.

At this time, Allen and the others were idle people in the base. After retreating from the sentry post, Russen had no time to rearrange their organization, and Alan was happy to be at ease. If you have time, you can spar with Wilick and Lucy, or you can grab Lucy and fight her so that she can make a batch of special bullets.

The battle clouds were dense.

In Russen's office, in addition to Catherine, another major general, Anthony, had the general transferred back. Anthony was in his early thirties, calm and reserved, and he and Catherine were Russen's left and right arms. However, Catherine's battle prowess was superior to Anthony's. Her role was mainly to kill on the battlefield, or to seize the head of an enemy general. Anthony, on the other hand, was meticulous and had helped Russen greatly in setting up the formation.

At this moment, Catherine was sitting at the side, reading a book. Anthony and Russen were standing in front of the tactical deduction stage, thinking about the possible route of the enemy's attack.

'"Since the enemy has already grasped the location of our sentry post, I'm afraid they are also in control of this tunnel. If I were the commander of the enemy army, I would definitely not let go of this tunnel that can easily pass through the Yale Mountains." Anthony pointed at the three-dimensional model and said, "There's nothing cheaper than getting out of the tunnel and quickly approaching our stronghold."

"If you have any opinions, just put them forward." Lu Sen said.

"The simplest way is to place explosive mines/pipes in the tunnels. Once the enemy detonated, they could kill the enemy and prevent them from increasing their troops quickly. However, there was nothing that could be done. It could be prepared, but it was best not to use it. After all, our goal is not to win this war, but to enter the center of the fiery earth. It could be foreseen that if the Saber Demon's attack failed, it would be a huge blow to them. "There's nothing else but the exhaustion of our forces and we still have the Queen of Roses." Anthony smiled. "Of course, we have to try to preserve our vitality in the upcoming battle. "Otherwise, if we attack the center of the flames and we don't have enough troops, we can only let General Melinda and the others specialize in beauty."

"Melinda's attitude is ambiguous at the moment and she hasn't made her position clear. Originally, her family should have joined us, but Melinda said that her father had no choice. But she and Windsor Belo, as sisters, should be more on the side of the New Party. Marshal Capullo would not be happy to see the New Party's momentum rise if Melinda were to take the lead, "Luson said in a low voice."

Anthony nodded and said, "Therefore, not only must we win this battle, we must also win beautifully. Only in this way can we retain our vitality for the counter-offensive."

The two of them began to discuss the matter of the Bu army. Catherine was neither concerned nor interested in it. He yawned and got up to say goodbye.

Stronghold scouts even used magical flying ships to scout across the Allen Mountains. Intelligence gathered in Russen's hands like snowflakes, and all indications were that the Saber Demon's attack was at the same time. According to the information they had, an army of 100,000 Blade Demons was approaching the Alexandria Mountains through the Alex Plains. The Blade Demon army was mainly composed of ground troops, but there were also quite a few units in the air. Apart from the flying ships of the various tribes, there was also another flying army.

It was an army formed from trained flying dangerous species. Its combat strength could not be compared to a fleet of airships, but it could be surpassed by a large number of them. Russen and Anthony constantly adjusted their strategies on the basis of this information.

A week after Alan returned to the stronghold, the war began.

Death spread through the entrance of the tunnel, throwing itself into the army to deal a head-on blow when the Saber Demon army rushed out of the tunnel. Unexpectedly, the first to enter the battlefield was not Blade Demon's ground troops, but hundreds of Blade Demon flying ships. Strange flying ships crossed the Yale Mountains, buzzing down like locusts, launching a surprise attack on the land army that was spreading death.

Standing on the rooftop of the Shadow Stronghold's dormitory, Alan could see the distant Blade Demon's flying ship emitting bright red energy beams. After bombarding the ground, hundreds of fireballs rushed out. Even though they were far away, the sound of explosions could still be heard from afar.

Base alarms rang out, and the Falcon frigates began to fly. After them, the slightly bulky Raptors fleet also set out one after another. Hundreds of aircraft formed a strict formation and headed towards the enemy's air units like black clouds.

A great battle was about to break out!
