Late at night, it rained cats and dogs.
From time to time, a bolt of lightning would flash across the sky, instantly tearing out a white ribbon of light in the sky, instantly traversing a thousand miles. The lightning shone in Allen's eyes, as if it wanted to illuminate the depths of his soul. He withdrew his gaze from the window. The car was traveling in the wilderness, and the wilderness was vast. In addition, his vision was blurry on the rainy day, and there was no scenery to speak of.
These military trucks that were driving in the wilderness had already left the Scarlet Flame Highlands and were heading towards a predetermined target location. On the third day after arriving at the Blood Gate Stronghold, the military finally issued a mission. The goal of the free hunting capitals for Allen was to assist the Fierce Vulture in taking down a supply base in the area controlled by the Chaotic Race, number 11358. The supply base originally belonged to the Federation. On that day, the enemy troops suddenly attacked like a tide, forcing the defensive line to the Scarlet Flame Highlands. Many bases had fallen and were under the control of outsiders. The situation in the Garden of Eden was very disadvantageous to the Federation. Apart from the fall of the Running Stream Stronghold, many bases in the controlled area were also occupied by enemy troops.
Now that the Golden Lion was counterattacking the Running Stream Stronghold, the other strongholds were taking advantage of this opportunity to recapture the lost bases as much as possible. If he couldn't take it back, then at least he had to destroy it. It was better than giving it to the enemy for nothing. In the missions sent down from the stronghold headquarters, the armies of the three clans had all received combat missions. However, the Morsen and Goliath families were each in charge of a base, while Bescot had three.
Two of them were temporary enemy barracks, and only the supply base was the big head. For this reason, Roddy placed his main force on the supply base, and the two temporary barracks were entrusted to Fuding and a thousand soldiers. With an expert like Fuding suppressing the formation, two barracks would not be a problem. On the supply base, apart from Roddy and the two thousand clan soldiers, there were also seven hunting squads from Allen to assist them, and their combat strength was more than enough.
The clan troops had already set off first. They used transport airships and would only attack on the ground after 6 days near the base. Roddy did not give Allen a specific target. Everything depended on the situation. In general, if Bescot could suppress the enemy's defenses, then Allen could choose to break through and attack the commander of the enemy base. If they couldn't suppress the enemy, they could take a step back and help their allies fight steadily until they finally took down the base.
As for how to operate it, that was up to Allen.
This gave Allen a lot of freedom. Even if he judged the situation to be unfavorable and chose to retreat, the military would not be able to say anything. Because retreat was the right of the freelance hunters, even the military had no right to interfere with their decision.
The intelligence system's screen lit up, and the three-dimensional structure of a base slowly rotated within. Allen reached out and clicked a few times on the screen. The three-dimensional image was decomposed into several plans and displayed side by side on the screen. It was not difficult to see that this supply base was relatively complete. A five-meter-tall concrete wall surrounded the base, and there was a defensive turret on each side of the main entrance. The surroundings were scattered with watchtowers and machine gun bunkers. Entering from the main entrance was the training ground. The command building across from the main entrance was the tallest building in the base. It was responsible for overseeing the overall situation and providing firepower support. The barracks on both sides were laid out, extending to the north and south, forming the second line of defense in the base. Under the protection of the barracks, the rear was the base's garage, material warehouse, electrical room, and other important facilities.
There were also two floors of underground space in the base. The first floor was a laboratory, and the second floor was an armory, an underground shooting range, and several emergency escape routes.
For a supply base, this configuration could completely become an important defensive node in the region. In particular, the nature of the supply base often meant that there were sufficient supplies. For a base like this, as long as there were 2,000 troops stationed, even if they encountered tens of thousands of enemy troops, they could still defend it for a period of time. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of outsider troops invaded the Federation's controlled area like a flood. Even such a large supply base could not avoid falling.
Now that the base had fallen into the hands of outsiders, according to the information provided by the Federation, there were about 800 Catus stationed in the base. Apart from that, there were also a dozen or so Grai giants, but there were no Dark Titans stationed there. During the battle of the Running Stream Stronghold that day, all the Dark Titans secretly gathered at Mecalene Mountain. With the arrival of the Prison Flame Giant, they forcefully broke through the stronghold's defensive line and completely defeated the stronghold with overwhelming power, causing the fall of the Running Stream Stronghold.
Without the Dark Titan, it would be much easier to attack. At the battle meeting before he left, Roddy's plan was for the clan army to restrain the enemy's main force and seal off several of the escape routes, leaving only one. There were ambushes set up at the exit of this passageway. Once the Catus evacuated from the passageway, they would find that they were not new students, but courting death.
On the map, there were several red flags indicating the attack nodes chosen by the Fierce Vulture army. If the situation permitted, Allen would bypass these nodes, avoid the main battle zone, and choose other places in the base to break through. After much consideration, he chose a vehicle passage in the northwest part of the base as a breakthrough point. This place avoided the main battle zone and was adjacent to the base's electrical room.
On the basement floor of the electrical room, there was an emergency passageway connected to the command building. Before leaving, Allen had already drawn up a route to break into. If everything went smoothly, then when they successfully seized the command building, the battle would be settled in one fell swoop!
At this moment, an icon was flashing on the screen. It was a communication request for a video session. After Allen accepted the request, several windows opened at the same time. The leaders of the other hunting teams appeared in the window. Reese smiled and said, "Boss, you look very calm."
From the moment they arrived at the Blood Gate Stronghold, these people, including Reese, called Allen "Boss". Allen wanted them to call him by his name. This way, there would be no difference between superiors and subordinates, and everyone would be more relaxed. However, after trying two or three times, these people still called him boss, so Allen didn't force him.
He shook his head and said to the screen, "I just look calm, but God knows how nervous I am right now."
"Hey, so are we." Reese smiled to hide his nervousness. "This is our first mission. It's a lie to say that we're not nervous. After all, this is the Garden of Eden. I heard that the general combat strength of outsiders is higher here. "
"Of course. If you want to compete for supremacy in the central battlefield, you can't do it without some weight." Allen said and added, "But don't be too nervous. Since we're able to come here, it's because the military has acknowledged our strength." I believe that as long as everyone cooperates according to what we said before, this mission will definitely be completed successfully. "
"With the leader's words, we can feel much more at ease." The one who spoke was the Guild Leader of the Shadow Bobcats, Sock, a man with an exaggerated explosive head who wore sunglasses even at night.
"That's right, Sock was always talking about what would happen if he failed his first mission. A man who didn't have the slightest bit of confidence finally found some comfort in the leader." At the window beside them, a woman dressed in black armor and hiding a black mask above her nose said so. As the only woman in the Black Knight Guild, Celine, who had a Level 20 strength, could be said to be the highest-leveled woman in the alliance.
"Celine, if you say that, Sock might fight you to the death again." The Guild Leader of the Silver Heavenly Horse, Fraser, who was known as "Flash", was a handsome man. His platinum long and gentle face made this Guild Leader a male god in the hearts of many female soldiers as soon as he arrived at the Blood Gate Stronghold.
Celine laughed, "A sick cat, why would I be afraid of him?"
Sock said hatefully, "Why don't we have a match first?"
"All of you, stop arguing!" Red, red armor, a man who was like a ball of flame shouted from the window, "The battle is here. Ma, please be serious!"
"Tsk, when did this guy Gubang become so serious?" Sock shook his head.
The man named Gubang was the Guild Leader of the Red Warriors. Just as Sock had said, he was a serious man, but he gave off a very reliable feeling.
"If there's nothing else to discuss, then I'll quit first." The last one to speak was the Guild Leader of the Adjudicators, Nocchi. Under the black fragments was a silver mask. The cross-shaped gap on the mask was a pair of sharp eyes, a mysterious and cold warrior. This was the feeling Nocchi gave people.
Allen nodded, "We've already discussed what we should discuss. There's really no need to repeat it now. As long as we follow the plan, we'll be fine. When we get to the base, we'll need Reese and Nocchi to do the reconnaissance. "
"Leave it to me." Reese said.
Nocchi only nodded and ended the conversation first.
The windows gradually closed, and in the end, Celine did not forget to blow a kiss to Allen before ending the communication with a smile. Allen put away his brain and looked at his own people in the car. Regis was wiping Slash Iron and Slash Absolute, rows of special bullets of different colors were placed in front of Lucy, Belmond was closing his eyes and pretending to be moldy, while Hubble was snoring.
In the end, Reina was looking out of the window. Sensing Allen's gaze, he turned around and said in a low voice, "I'll still be free to move later."
"Then be careful." Allen did not ask him to stay, although the friction between him and Reina was not as serious as before on this expedition. However, he was still unable to be as intimate as Regis, and Allen did not force Reina to stay in the team, lest he ruin the important matter because he did not listen to the commands.
