Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 676: So-called Intimacy

"… Quickly send this to the command room."

"Over there, pull the thing over!"

The camp was still bustling with people, especially at the entrance of the barracks. Several transport vehicles were pulling over a batch of new supplies, and the soldiers were busy loading and unloading them. The officers could only use all their strength to shout loudly before they could hear their voices in the ears of the soldiers amidst the sound of the cannons.

At this moment, another tactical flying car entered the entrance, obviously blocking the way. A bearded officer revealed an impatient expression and was about to call the flying car to leave. Suddenly caught by his comrades, he said, "Don't act recklessly. Look, General Catherine is in the car."

The bearded man looked and saw that after the door of the flying car was opened, Catherine jumped out of the car. Following that, a young man also landed on the ground. The bearded man couldn't help but wonder, "Who is that guy? He doesn't look like our legion."

"Who knows?"

Katherine kicked the car door and said to Alan, "Then I'm going back to the command room."

Ellen patted her head and said, "Go ahead."

Catherine removed his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say before that you should be a little closer in public?"

"So this is what you call intimacy?" Catherine turned her face away and whispered, "Idiot!"

"What are you talking about?"

Catherine snorted, raised her hand to hold Alan's face, and said solemnly, "Look, this is intimacy." Katherine opened her lips and kissed Ellen heavily on the tip of her toe. Alan was stunned, but he heard Catherine shout, "What are you still waiting for, hug me!"

The entrance to the camp suddenly went completely silent. Only the cannon in the distance still sounded. With a loud crash, the object in the soldier's hand pointed to the ground and even smashed into his foot, but he stared blankly at Catherine and Alan. The scene in front of them made the officers and soldiers on the scene feel as if they were in a dream. Catherine, who had always been cold and indifferent, was actually kissing a man. This was simply shocking news!

Only when the two of them were separated did people know how to breathe.

Releasing Alan, Catherine's gaze swept across the camp like a knife. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work!"

The soldiers woke up as if they were dreaming, while the officers tried to pretend that they didn't see them and continued to eat and drink loudly. However, no matter how he listened, he didn't have the confidence he had just had. Catherine walked away without turning her head and watched her cloak disappear into the crowd before Ellen shook her head. He picked up Xue Yin and prepared to return.

She suddenly remembered that she had taken her team away from the rally for Catherine. She had no idea where her team would be assigned. Fortunately, there was no shortage of people in the barracks. Alan caught a second lieutenant and found a special camp for the hunting squad. There were rows of temporary dormitories in the camp. Each hunting group had a row of dormitories, and the space was spacious.

Allen returned to the dormitory where his team had been assigned and bumped into Regis as soon as he entered. His eyes were a little strange, and Belmond, who was standing beside him, seemed to be smiling rather than smiling. "What are you doing?" Ellen asked.

"We've heard." '"Ellen, you kissed Catherine in front of so many people. That's so cool," said Regis with a wicked smile.

Ellen was shocked. "Is the news spreading so fast?"

Belmond smiled and said, "After all, the target is General Catherine. It is normal for people to be curious about that woman who is known as the God of Reaper."

"However, Young Master, someone is not very happy to hear this news." Belmond looked into a room.

Alan sighed, thinking that what was supposed to come would always come. He threw the blood concealment in his hand to Belmond and walked towards the room. Pushing open the door, there was only a figure in the small room. Lucy had her back to the door and her sharp ears twitched when she heard the door open. She clearly knew who had come in, but she did not turn around.

Closing the door, Alan walked to her side.

"When did you get along with General Catherine?"

Lucy's voice was very soft, even her tone was trembling, which made Alan's heart hurt slightly. He hugged Lucy from behind and buried his head in her blonde hair. "I'll tell you everything if you want to hear it," he said.

"Of course, I'll listen."

Alan took a deep breath and said, "It begins with the day Catherine chased me." In a calm tone, he recounted his encounter with Catherine. Lucy listened quietly without interrupting. However, her expression was constantly changing, which meant that her heart was not as calm as it seemed. After saying that, Alan smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, it's my fault for hiding it from you." It's just that I didn't think I'd say anything to you, but Catherine told me another thing about Capulet today. He wanted to rope me in through Catherine, and in order to prevent the Berserk Lion Marshal from doing anything, the two of us decided to be as intimate in public as Capullo would have liked to be. "

"I know you're very angry now, so if you want to hit me and scold me, I won't mind!"

Lucy burst out laughing and finally turned around and shook her head. "We're not children anymore. Why are we scolding each other? I just don't want you to hide anything from me. It'll make me feel like I'm far away from you."

"I will always be by your side." Alan hugged her tightly and said, "I'll go find Catherine later and tell her to terminate the plan. As for Capulet, I'll think of another way."

'"No, why terminate the plan? It's good for you and Catherine. Don't forget that the war here is led by the Golden Lion. The Sirius Legion is far away from the interstellar line of defense. If Capullo gets angry, he really has to do something. Even if your teacher knows, he won't be able to put out the fire from afar." 'And Catherine is strong and young. What's wrong with taking her in?' said Lucy firmly.

Alan looked at her and said, "But it's not fair to you."

'There's no such thing as fairness in this world, and of course I'm not so generous as to give my beloved to another woman. Of course I want to monopolize you, but that's not realistic. Besides, you do need Catherine to work for you in the old party now.' Lucy smiled and said, "Remember on Planet Underworld, I said you'd better take Windsor Belo as well. Think about it, what's there to worry about with Greed and Major General Catherine to help you with?"

Ellen shook his head and said, "You're calling me a soft meal, but I prefer my own achievements in exchange for blood and sweat."

"How can you call it soft rice? At best, it's just borrowing their strength."

'Well, my relationship with Catherine is a coincidence. Since it has already happened, I certainly won't avoid it. But teacher, it's a completely different matter. I don't think it's possible to have such a relationship with her.'

"Who knows? Even the gods can't see through the future."

"Perhaps." Alan didn't want to continue exploring this issue with her.

Since the private matter had come to an end, Alan didn't want to waste any time. Call Regis and Belmond, take out their tactical brains, and call out the mission plan sent by the military. The plan includes the intended location, strategic objectives, and the way forward in a number of major directions. The few of them studied carefully and made sufficient preparations. They didn't want any accidents to happen on the battlefield tomorrow.

Reina didn't participate in this small meeting. Alan heard that after he and Catherine left, Reina went out alone and went to the local battlefields of the mountain defense line. Not only him, but also the other hunting squads that were eager to obtain merit points could not wait for tomorrow's general attack, so they chose to fight ahead of schedule. Since the hunting squad was not under the control of the army, apart from some core theatres that were not open to them, they all turned a blind eye to these experts.

Alan only hoped that Reina would cooperate in tomorrow's battle. As for which method he would choose to participate, Alan was not prepared to interfere.

On this day, the sound of the cannons continued from daytime until late at night, and it was only a little quieter before dawn the next day.

Early the next morning, the rally announcement sounded in the camp. Of course, the gathering place of the hunting group and the army was different. By the time Allen and the others had gathered, the death-spreading fleet had already begun to fly. The smaller and largest number of fast warships were the first to float in the air and quickly spread out in mid-air, forming a formation. Following that, several battleships equipped with heavy firepower entered their predetermined battle positions, and the last to fly was a command mothership. After the entire formation was assembled, the floating fleet began to advance.

On the ground, troop carriers drove out of the camp at the same time. Behind them were flexible tactical flying vehicles, all-terrain main combat vehicles that were used to attack and plunder the ground, and the Heavenly Bull Armored Vehicle known as the "Mobile Stronghold". The convoy formed a long line and left the camp, entering the mountains and advancing towards the chaotic canyon.

Allen and the rest of the hunting squads had their own missions, but they didn't take the starships to the battlefield as they had when they arrived. Above the battlefield, there would be a battle between the Federation and the Yordon aliens. Once the starships of the Hunting Group entered the aerial battlefield, they would have no other use than to die. As a result, the Hunting Regiment was sent to the battlefield with flying personnel carriers. The Federation also had some tactical flying vehicles and main combat vehicles, and there were even armoured Heavenly Bull vehicles among them. These chariots would ensure the safety of the transportation. Seeing these configurations, Allen could only praise the death spread as an elite army. Just by looking at the strength of these guards, it gave off a sense of rigor.

Tactical flying vehicles and main war chariots were not necessarily the most common war tools in the ground battlefield. As for the Heavenly Bull Armored Vehicle, it had always been known as a mobile fortress. This was the only type of war chariot that did not belong to the flying type. The Heavenly Bull Armored Vehicle had eight mechanical legs. This big fellow was equipped with heavy cannons, anti-air intelligent turrets, shatter missile launchers, and medium-sized cannons.

It was no exaggeration to say that every armoured Longicorn was an important fulcrum of a local battlefield. Many of the ground tactics were carried out around the moving fortress. With the Heavenly Bull chariots accompanying them, this convoy did not have to worry about being ambushed by the enemy's armored forces halfway.
