The sky was dark, and the mountains were silent.
Catherine stood on the hillside where Allen had jumped down, facing the howling cold wind alone. The bone-chilling wind at night was like an invisible knife, but Catherine was undoubtedly the hardest rock in the world. The wind was like a knife, but it didn't damage her cold and beautiful face at all. Her gaze was faint, like the ripples of the Nether River, as it landed on the river that was rushing westward. The river surged, reflecting a faint scale light, as if it was flowing to the end of the world, disappearing into the endless darkness of the night.
Catherine stood there, and the traces of Allen on the ground were floating in her eyes one by one. The information was received, calculated, and simulated by the brain, Allen's route. She could "see" Allen skimming over the high slope, jumping up, crossing the ten-meter void like a bird or a fish, and finally falling into the river.
A smile gradually appeared on the girl's face. The corners of her lips curled up into an elusive smile. "I will find you," she said. Then, she flew down the slope like a night bird, but she did not fall into the river. Instead, she floated to the riverbank. With a light tap of his toes, he flashed away like a ghost, gradually becoming one with the boundless night, inseparable from each other.
Three days.
Time flies, Lucy thought. Ever since Allen left with Catherine, she hadn't heard anything from Allen. These three days were like three years to her, and every minute and second was torture to Lucy. Catherine was not an ordinary opponent. If she used the strength of the Dark Titan as a reference, then Catherine was most likely stronger than the giant, and far stronger.
No matter how fast Allen grew, he was still not a match for an expert like Catherine. Right now, for Lucy, not receiving any news of Catherine's return to the Sunrise was equivalent to Allen still being alive. However, Lucy didn't know how long he could last and whether he could escape the hands of Death.
The Empress of Adahua Planet was already considering whether to use her own power to stop this matter, but the price of doing so was also enormous. Her father, the Great King of Justice, Orfasis, was waiting for her to show weakness. Once she showed weakness, Lucy knew very well what would happen to her. No matter what it was, there had to be at least one of the responsibilities of the royal family. That responsibility would eventually separate her from Allen.
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
So at this moment, she was so embarrassed sitting on the cold metal chair that she could not even hear Regis's report to Lieutenant Colonel Ned about the completion of the mission. All the words became a buzzing noise in her ears, and her heart could no longer hold too many sounds at this moment.
Until a mocking laughter entered her ears. This laughter was like a sharp thorn poking at Lucy's sensitive heart, causing her to almost jump out of reflex. But in fact, her body only trembled slightly, and then the voices of the world faithfully returned to her ears, so she clearly heard a man say, "Three designated missions, almost one a day, pretty efficient." But could it be that our young master of Bescot only has this much ability? He doesn't even dare to accept an exploration mission? Oh, right. I don't think I've seen him recently. Could it be that the young master was scared home by the frosty natives? "
It was a haggard man with a golden, almost white head that stuck limply to his forehead. It seemed that his face was always dripping with sweat, which made his head look wet and extremely uncomfortable. His deep-set eyes, overly sharp nose, and two thin lips, when combined together, made people think of words like acerbic and unkind. The dark tactical uniform and light gray armor on his body were covered with traces of varying depths. A silver-plated waist chain hung down a triangular ornament. It was stained with cyan spots, as if it was a mark of blood coagulation.
The auras of the people behind him were condensed and obscure, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.
However, that did not mean that he had the qualifications to slander Allen.
Lucy's green eyes shot out green light like emeralds. The green light was close to fire and was about to burst out. A sharp light was about to be revealed, but a sharp and dense aura was one step ahead of her. The target was clear, pointing straight at the skinny man. The man's expression changed slightly, and his body suddenly straightened up, immediately generating his own aura. The two auras collided in the combat room, causing the spectators to feel the entire room tremble.
As for the rude man, the light in the room was completely restrained. The room, the people, and the tables and chairs were all eliminated from this strange world. First, it was a darkness that could not be considered deep, and then a white light lit up at the end. It was as if a river of stars was stretching across, and it was majestic. The white light expanded up and down, instantly filling the man's field of vision. In this blinding light, two things gradually floated up.
It was as deep as the stars, and finally turned into Regis's eyes. The man was indescribably shocked. He knew that he had been affected by Regis's aura, which was why such a phenomenon had occurred. However, Regis looked like a young boy, and it was reasonable for this aura to be released by Allen. But now, it had come from another young Bescot. The man's feelings could not be described with just the word shock.
Unexpectedly, after one wave subsided, another wave rose.
As soon as Regis's aura dissipated, another aura came from behind. If Regis's aura was as vast and profound as a river of stars, then this aura was as violent and blazing as a volcano. The man and his companions felt the temperature in the room suddenly rise. Everything was dyed with a layer of dark red light like lava, and even the air had begun to be filled with sparks.
The sparks would occasionally collide, forming small firestorms.
Such power!
"Nameless scoundrel, you dare to provoke our family?" A low voice sounded, each word like a drum beating in the heart.
The man turned around and a tall figure entered the door of the combat room. As soon as he entered, it made people feel that the space was cramped and narrow. As he slowly walked over, his imposing aura caused people to involuntarily retreat. Even the provocative man was no exception. By the time he reacted, he had already taken half a step back.
This half step was like a slap in the face, burning with pain.
Only then did he see two red lights. They were embedded in the depths of Rena's eyes, blazing like volcanic lava!
The man was actually not shorter than Rena, but at this moment, his entire body was enveloped by Rena's figure. Reina's pressure was like a mountain, making him unable to breathe. It wasn't until Reina moved his gaze that he exhaled loudly. Reina walked straight to Lucy and the others before turning around and saying, "I, Bescot, only have men who died in battle, not soldiers who fled." If you want to provoke, you can. But I'm not Allen. I'll only respond with weapons. So before provoking me, you should first measure your own weight. Otherwise, if I accidentally smash you to death, I won't have a pension for your family. "
He smiled and raised the bone-piercing warhammer in his hand. It was stained with countless traces of blood and emitted a ferocious aura like that of a ferocious beast.
Thus, everyone in the combat room quieted down. Even the provocative man shut his mouth obediently. He only looked at Reina with resentment and waved his hand to leave.
Only then did Reina remove his identity token and throw it to Ned, "Register your military contributions."
Ned remembered that he had chosen an exploration mission, but there was still half the time before the mission cycle, but Reina had already returned. Just this half a year had already explained many problems. Coupled with the warhammer that seemed to be stained with meat, Ned thought more.
The lieutenant colonel looked at Reina, then at Regis, and had a new understanding of the Bescot family in his heart. With the addition of Allen, as long as Bescot had these three youths, the family would be able to maintain its high development trend for at least the next twenty years.
When the lieutenant colonel received the token, Reina looked at his other brother and said, "You're too gentle, just like Allen. Just kill the provocative fellow with a single saber strike. Speaking of which, why are you registering your military merits? Where's Allen? "
"It's a long story." Regis spread out his hands and smiled bitterly, "Allen had to leave for a while."
"Could it be that he really became a deserter?" Reina frowned.
Regis pulled him aside and whispered, "He's been targeted by Katherine. The situation is a little complicated. Neither Katherine nor Allen wants to disclose this matter, so we can't report it. We can only wait for the results of this matter to come out. "
"Katherine? Reaper's Katherine? "" How did Allen get involved with Reaper? "Reina's eyes were like torches.
"I heard that something happened to them on Nether Domain Star. You should ask Allen about the specifics, if he can come back." Although Regis believed in Allen's strength, his opponent was Katherine after all. Now, even he didn't dare to say that Allen would definitely be able to return.
"What exactly is this Allen thinking? It's really irresponsible to abandon his team like this." Reina said domineeringly, "Listen to me until he comes back. He's not here, but Bescot can't be underestimated. "
Regis was dissatisfied, but he agreed with Reina's words. As a member of the clan, he had long since understood that the honor of the clan was far above everything else.
"I heard that all of you were assigned missions before?"
"That's Allen's decision, but this kind of mission is almost complete."
Reina walked towards Lieutenant Colonel Ned and turned around, "The designated mission is not challenging at all, so this time, we will take the exploration mission."
The last sentence was addressed to Ned.
Ned nodded, "You can choose the area and range to explore."
Reina bypassed him and walked to the tactical board. His big hand landed on the map on the tactical board. He pointed at a point in the holly forest, then forcefully drew forward and circled around again. Thus, the area within 500 kilometers of the forest fell into Reina's designated range. "Here it is."
"Are you sure?"
