Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 263: Encounter

"Take the initiative to attack?"

Even Peter was surprised by Alan's decision, but for Lucy and the others, it was perfectly normal. The silver-haired youth they were familiar with had never been a passive person. He had never avoided the cruel competition on the death arena, the unreasonable provocations on Babylon, or even the battle between Nether Domain Star and Saber Demon.

Of course, this time was no exception.

"Are you serious, Second Lieutenant?" Peter said, "No matter how few troops the Saber Demons send, they will definitely outnumber us. If we take the initiative to attack, it will be very difficult for us to win."

The others also looked at Alan doubtfully.

Ellen didn't answer Peter's question directly. He walked to the window and looked at the base in the dark. "When everyone heard about the Saber Demon, were you all scared? I can tell from your eyes that it's normal for you to be scared, and I'm scared too. After all, no one is a natural born warrior."

He turned around and said, "We are afraid of war, afraid of losing our lives, and even more afraid that after we die in battle, our families will have nowhere to rely on. I think that's what everyone on the base thinks too."

"But why are we still here, leaving our homeland and coming to this distant galaxy? That's because if we don't stand out and choose to fight, the enemies here might appear on Earth! No one wants a second battle of dawn, so we are here. Protect our homeland and our families with our blood and even our lives."

Allen stepped on the floor and said, "The war that is about to take place here may be a trivial battle for the planet." However, I would like to ask you to believe that the battles here and this base will affect the outcome of the Nether Domain Star Wars. Because in front of us is the Saber Demon's sacred land, the birthplace of their interstellar civilization. "As long as we destroy it, we will definitely be able to accelerate the destruction of the Saber Demon."

"At this moment, the Rose Empress' army is already on its way. All we have to do is hold on until they arrive. But defending is not enough. We need to know the number of enemies, or even reduce their numbers ahead of time, in order to reduce the pressure we have to face. Everyone, taking the initiative to attack is not purely for the sake of bravery, but for the sake of better defense. And let more people survive! "

There was silence in the command hall until Peter suddenly applauded, "If I may say so, Second Lieutenant really has the potential to be a politician. What a wonderful speech. But "

"You're right. Only a weak egg will hide in a tortoise shell. Let's do a good job!" "How many people do I need to arrange for?" Peter said in a ruffian tone.

"A hundred or so people is fine, but you have to be worthy of the fierce fire."

"Roger that."

After Peter left the hall, Alan looked at the rest of the officers and said, "Then can I leave the defensive work of the base to you?"

"Of course!" "Don't worry, Second Lieutenant, we'll do our best to defend!" One of the officers shouted loudly.

"That's right, let those Saber Devils know that we are not bones that can be eaten so easily!"

"Then I'm relieved," Allen said with satisfaction.

Then, the three of them winked at Lucy and the four of them left the command hall. Arriving at the square, Peter's prepared commandos had already gathered. A hundred soldiers got into the troop trucks one after another. Even the two main war chariots that had seized Luda were called out to Peter, ready to be used as cover and retreat.

Allen and the others shared a jeep with Peter. After the soldiers opened the gate of the base, the commando vehicle left the base and went into the wilderness wrapped in the night outside the base. The wind blew across the wilderness, and Peter drove in the driveway, "You know what? You looked like a cowboy just now."

"Cowboy? What is that?"

"It was the product of the Battle of Dawn, the pioneers of the Old West. They were brave, fearless, and a little stupid." Peter haha said.

Allen put his hand on the door and said with his chin on his back, "Sounds good."

"Right. Then cowboy, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go to the sentry post first. There's no snow or wind in the past few days. The Saber Demon will definitely leave behind traces. Let's follow these traces to their camp and give them a fireworks banquet." Alan looked at the two main war chariots behind him.

"What a good idea!"

After arriving at the attacked sentry post, Alan had to thank the weather for the few days without snow and wind. This allowed the traces of Saber Demon's departure to remain intact. He was an expert in tracking, and the Saber Demon had never been a cautious master. As long as he wasn't blind, he could see the traces left behind, so naturally, it wouldn't be difficult to track them down. However, the direction the traces pointed in became clearer and clearer.

Neverwinter Lake!

The motorcade moved forward under the night sky. The desolate land was completely silent, and the atmosphere was exceptionally solemn, as if it was calm before the storm. Alan gradually felt that something was wrong. When he saw the light on the dim horizon, he shouted, "Stop!"

When the car stopped, Alan grabbed the binoculars and jumped onto a nearby mountain. After the telescope switched on night vision mode, an army was moving far away in the green wilderness.

"What happened?" Peter followed.

"It's the Saber Demon. They're traveling overnight. At this speed, they can get to the base before dawn," Alan said as he adjusted the telescope's vision.

"There are quite a few." Peter also looked through the telescope.

Suddenly, some tall figures flashed through the telescope. Peter hurriedly pulled the camera over and fixed it on a few scaleless giants. The lieutenant took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, it's a troll!"

Alan also saw the giants. Fortunately, there weren't many of them. However, these twenty trolls were enough to form a strong force. Even the three defensive walls of the base wouldn't be able to withstand the collision of these trolls.

They must die here!

At this time, Alan made up his mind. If these trolls were allowed to participate in the battle, even if the base was able to defend it in the end, there would still be heavy casualties. He put down his binoculars and said, "Lieutenant, I need you to draw the attention of the enemy."

"Do you want to clean up those trolls?" Peter wasn't stupid either. The Federation's war report mentioned the destructive power of this troll more than once. Several federal strongholds on the Alex Plains had been flattened by groups of trolls.

"Of course, we can't let those big guys do anything. These trolls are at the back of the army, so I have to go around them. Bring someone to attract the attention of their main force. Don't be so battling, it's best to pull their formation apart."

"I know what to do."

The two of them hurriedly returned to the ground, and then all the soldiers got off the truck. Alan picked twenty or so people and drove a truck to the wilderness with Lucy and the others. They wanted to surround the Saber Demon's troops and ambush the 20-odd trolls from behind. Peter led the other soldiers forward, looking for an ambush position. The main battle chariots followed. These two chariots would maintain a certain distance from Peter and the others, providing firepower to repel them as they retreated.

As for the trucks, they stayed where they were and waited for orders. As soon as Peter and the others returned, they could immediately retreat and shake off the pursuers at the speed of the trucks.

All the arrangements were made in a short time, and Allen and the others didn't have time to discuss it in more detail. They could only adapt to the situation as they pleased.

Ten kilometers away, Peter found a suitable place to ambush. The terrain here was undulating, and rocks were piled up, just in time to be used as a mask. He immediately gestured for the soldiers to disperse. Peter held a magical sniper/rifle in his hand and found a high ground with a wide field of vision. He was talking about a cigarette, but the cigarette was not lit. Peter only habitually bit the cigarette butt and smelled a hint of tobacco.

The two main war chariots were already on standby. The soldiers had also finished setting up the firing array. Everything was waiting for the enemy to send them up.

At this moment, Peter strangely didn't feel the slightest bit nervous. The flames on the horizon were getting brighter and brighter, and one could even feel the earth trembling slightly. But in this great battle, Peter's thoughts drifted far away. He remembered that when he was young, he often had to risk half-dead to survive for a piece of bread.

After being adopted by a disabled veteran, the man taught him many skills to earn a living. That period of time was also the happiest, but the good times did not last long. During a robbery by bandits, the village that had stayed for three years was burned to the ground, and his foster father was killed in the midst of resistance.

Then there was a life of displacement, and it wasn't until he met her that Peter had a root and stopped wandering.

'"Wendy, are you alright" he asked quietly.

The fire pierced into his eyes, and Peter took a deep breath, hiding his gentle face deep into his heart. Unknowingly, time passed quickly, and one could already see the vanguard of the Saber Demon Army.

In the enemy's vanguard, a demon was particularly eye-catching. Inside Peter's sniper/rifle, the demon was riding a bloody horned wolf, a mutated bloodthirsty wolf among the berserk horned wolves. Riding on the Blood Wolf was a Thousand Commander. He was not wearing armor like other Saber Demons. Instead, his upper body was naked. There was a heavy crescent axe hanging behind him. He was like a battle maniac.

The cross star in the sight was fixed on the captain's forehead. At this moment, the Saber Demon's gaze fell on the sight. Peter's hand steadily pressed down on the trigger. A faint blue light flickered in the sights. Then, the Thousand Commander's head exploded, but he shot a sniper bullet formed from Origin Energy.

The rugged sound of a magical sniper/rifle rang out in the desolate mountains, starting the battle.

In the middle of the army, Kamu was riding a Prison Fire Beast. When he heard the gunshots, the Saber Demon General's expression changed. He pointed his saber at the source of the gunshots and shouted, "There's an ambush. Charge! Kill all the humans and walk on their corpses."

In a single sentence, he said that the Saber Demon's ferocious nature.
