"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked. William and Bloy were also staring intently at the back.
Allen and Katherine looked at each other and shook their heads. Katherine said, "It's useless to talk about this now. Let me give you some tutoring on the reconnaissance squad first."
The two of them had different ideas about the so-called "possibility". Katherine thought of Allen, who had drunk the King Snake's blood, and Allen thought of the devil's praise. Both of these were "interests" that the two of them could think of that were far above the struggle between the Echelon and the New Party. Naturally, such a topic was not suitable to be discussed in the current situation.
"The so-called reconnaissance squad is a special organization responsible for investigating enemy strongholds, scouting troops, even drawing terrain, confirming the route of advance, and so on. The reconnaissance squad did not specialize in combat, but their mortality rate was not much lower than that of the vanguard battalion. That's because the area in charge of the reconnaissance squad is usually unknown, or the Federation has very little information. The danger of going to such a place to investigate is usually unknown. Once exposed, because there are no reinforcements, if you are unable to escape, you will only die in battle. " Katherine saw that Allen and the others' expressions were a little unnatural. She coughed softly and said, "Although the reconnaissance squad is dangerous, it is better than entering the vanguard battalion directly. There is only one rule in the vanguard battalion. Once you charge, there is no way back. Either open the enemy's city gates or die on the way. "
"If you don't bring it up, will Russen throw us into the vanguard battalion?" Allen asked.
Katherine nodded and said, "Ten times. You should know that it is the best way to assess your 'interests' in a short period of time."
William looked at the two of them and sighed, "I don't understand what you're talking about now. What do you think, big man?"
Broyle crossed his chest with his hands around his chest and his eyes closed with a deep expression. William narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, you're not listening at all, are you?"
"What do you know if you don't understand? Besides, I'm not good at analysis." Broyle said naturally.
"Anyway, survive in the reconnaissance squad first. I'm afraid it'll take a few more days for your teacher to respond. I heard that the interstellar defense line has been attacked again by aliens. "Katherine glanced at Allen and said.
Allen clenched his fist lightly. "Teacher will be fine, so we just need to survive until she arrives."
The secret tunnel was five kilometers long. It passed through the Yale Mountains and arrived at a secret outpost in the Alex Plains. The sentry post was built under a hidden hill, and the entrance was disguised as a mountain. If one didn't have the intention, it would be hard to notice. The supervisor of the outpost, who was also the leader of the reconnaissance regiment, Second Lieutenant Gossa, was a man in his thirties. Under his short, light brown hair was a lean face. A long, slanted scar cut across his left eyebrow, eye, and cheek. It was said that a Saber Demon General had almost cut off his head during a mission.
"Major General Catherine, why have you come in person?"
When he saw Catherine jump down from the truck, Second Lieutenant Gossa thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Death was a notoriously ruthless character, and Reaper Catherine had actually come to this frontline sentry post where birds didn't shit. No one would believe it. Second Lieutenant Gossa was a little excited. After all, there were very few women here, especially a beauty like Catherine.
This moment would have been even better if he didn't have to think of Catherine's shocking deeds.
"This is Sergeant Allen. I'll leave them to you, Second Lieutenant Gossa." Catherine ignored the excited expression on the second lieutenant's face and pointed to the back.
Allen jumped out of the car, and William and the others who were following behind him also jumped down. Second Lieutenant Gossa nodded and said, "I've been notified by headquarters. That's great. We're short of manpower right now. It's great that we have a new recruit. Eh, are there any female soldiers? "
Second Lieutenant Gossa's gaze fell on Lucy and he said with a little surprise. Catherine stood forward and said, "This young lady is not on the list. Just treat her as if she's here on vacation. "
Vacation? Second Lieutenant Gossa wondered if he had heard wrongly. What was this place? The entrance to the Alex Plains. To the southwest was one of the Saber Demon Ten Tribes, a border camp of the Iron Hoof Tribe. Apart from that, God knew how many other tribal strongholds there were on Alex. Soon, this plain would become a battlefield. Second Lieutenant Gossa didn't think this was a good place for a vacation at all.
But from the looks of it, Catherine had come specifically to protect this girl. No matter how stupid Second Lieutenant Gossa was, he knew that it was definitely not a high-ranking person that he could come into contact with. It could also be a disciple of a wealthy noble family. In any case, Catherine had to worry about it, and it was none of his business even if she wanted to wander around the center of the fire.
"Let them familiarize themselves with the sentry post today." Catherine said.
"This" Gossa smiled dryly and said, "Actually, there is a very urgent reconnaissance mission. If they have no problems, I hope the three of you can leave immediately."
Catherine didn't want to be too close to Allen and shrugged, "You're in charge here, so naturally you have the final say."
Gossa looked at Allen, even though Broy looked older among the three of them. However, the Highlanders and Welik were both standing behind Allen, and it was clear who had a higher status. Allen nodded, "We can leave at any time."
"That's great. Follow me." Gossa looked at Catherine and said, "Major General, please feel free to … take a look."
He couldn't think of anything to see in a simple sentry post, but he had no better words. After Catherine nodded, Gossa left with Allen and the others. They walked into the second lieutenant's office. It was a very simple room, with a topographic map spread out on the table in the middle. Allen looked at it. This was a simple map of the terrain. It still needed the necessary data correction before it could be entered into the brain to make a three-dimensional model.
Second Lieutenant Gossa flattened the slightly wrinkled map with his hand and drew a circle in one corner with a red pen. "According to our observations, the Iron Hoof Tribe has been very active recently. Logically speaking, winter is the season that Saber Demons dislike the most. If it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't have chosen to move at this time. Judging from the information brought back by the scouts, all of this might be in preparation for attacking the Shadow Stronghold, but we don't know the exact route and station settings of the other party. Therefore, the most recent mission is to figure out the situation in this area. We have already sent out scouts everywhere. However, there are still not enough people. Your arrival has solved my urgent need. "
"If you don't have any problems, I need the three of you to head to this coordinate immediately. Remember, our mission is not to fight, but to observe and record. Get the information we need back and you'll have done a great job. "
Then he gave the coordinates of the reconnaissance location to Allen. Gossa said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll prepare three days of food, water, and other necessities for you."
Leaving Allen and the others in the office, Gossa arrived at the warehouse, but turned a corner and entered the communication station at the back. A messenger was working inside. Gossa closed the door and said to him, "Connect me to Major Luda."
A moment later, Gossa saw Luda on the communication screen. The second lieutenant winked at the messenger, who understood and left. Only then did Gossa say, "Major, they're here."
"Very good. Have you given them the coordinates?" Luda asked.
"Yes, but …" Gossa hesitated and said, "It's a border stronghold of the Iron Hoof Tribe. If we go …"
"That's none of your business, Gossa. You just have to do as I say. These three fellows dared to cause trouble for me. I'm teaching them a lesson. "" Or are you not going to transfer back to the stronghold? "Major Luda said with a ferocious expression.
"Of course not. I don't want to stay in a place like this for another minute." Second Lieutenant Gossa said nervously, "Then how long will it take for the major to transfer me back after this matter is done?"
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be back in ten days or a month. Well done, Gossa. But don't let Catherine know about this. "
At the end of the communication, Gossa sighed and said, "Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending Major Luda."
He left the communication station and went to the warehouse to collect three backpacks of supplies. Then, he returned to the office and handed them over to Allen. Allen and the others checked themselves and prepared to leave after confirming their equipment and supplies. Seeing Lucy at the entrance, Allen nodded and said, "We're going on a mission. We should be back in two or three days. You can stay here."
Lucy said to Catherine unwillingly, "Can't I go with you?"
"It's just a reconnaissance mission. There's no danger. Your Highness, stay here." Catherine said calmly, "Otherwise, if you go with me, I will have to follow the general's orders in order to take responsibility for your protection." If the Saber Demon knew that a major general of the Federation had barged into their territory, it would definitely cause a series of unforeseen events. That was definitely not what the general wanted to see. If Your Highness insists, then I can only use some necessary means. "
Lucy gritted her teeth and said, "You're threatening me."
Catherine spread out her hands and said, "It's better than the consequences."
Allen shook his head and said, "Stay with the major general."
"Alright then." Lucy said helplessly.
The three of them left the sentry post and walked along the rugged mountain road towards the entrance of the Alex Plains. On the way, William said reluctantly, "Are we going to be led by the nose by that one-eyed dragon?"
"Endure it." Allen said, "We can only do this for now. After all, we are in a weak position right now. Besides, Catherine left Lucy behind. That was both a protection and a threat. "
"I thought that beauty was on our side," William said in surprise.
Allen shook his head. "Catherine is not that simple. For the time being, she is a little biased towards us. But in the end, she will only stand on her own side. "
"Looks like I can only obey orders obediently." Wilick sighed.
"Not necessarily." Allen smiled. "Although it's a little dangerous to be transferred to the reconnaissance squad, the advantage is that Russen can't see so far away. In order for us to live long enough, I think it's necessary to cause some trouble for Russen and the spread of death. "
