Blood Gate Stronghold.
In the Bescot family camp, on the rooftop of the barracks, Lucy sat on the edge with her knees bent, looking up at the starry sky. She narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to catch something, but it turned into a sigh and she put down her hand.
"Are you worried about him?" A young girl's voice came from behind.
Lucy turned around and Adele walked out of the shadows of the water tower beside her. She was wearing a camouflage combat uniform, and her long hair had been cut short. Under the moonlight, she was less tender than usual and more capable. War changes people, Lucy thought. This sentence was not wrong at all. At the very least, the Adele in front of her had changed a lot. She had become more independent, capable, and had begun to show her edges.
"What, two ponytails? Even if you look at me like this, I won't like you. "The corner of Adele's mouth curled up into a strong smile.
Lucy laughed, "Why are you free? Can't you stay in your family's camp at this time?"
"Because I'm worried about that guy too." Adele sat down beside her, and the night wind mischievously lifted her long and short hair, just like the girl's current mood. "It's been more than three days and he hasn't come back yet. But I believe he won't die. "
"I believe it too, but I can't wait for him like this." Lucy reached out and pinched the girl's hair. "You cut it yourself?" she said coldly.
Adele blushed, "I know it's not good, but it's much more convenient this way." She swept Lucy's hand away and said, "Since you don't want to wait, why are you still sitting here?"
At the end of his words, footsteps sounded. Adele looked back and saw a man walking over. He was dressed in black armor and wore a mask on his face. His face could not be seen at all. Adele remembered him. This man was a guild leader in the Allen Alliance.
"Mr. Nocchi." Lucy stood up and said, "Looks like you have good news?"
Adele looked at him curiously and then at Lucy.
Nocchi nodded, "My men have found Guild Leader Allen's signal."
"How did you do it?" Adele asked.
"We will hack into the Union's system and use the satellite to search for the signal transmitted by the tactical tablet in Guild Leader Allen's hand. Through that, we will be able to locate his coordinates." Nocchi looked at Lucy. "So, what does Miss Lucy intend to do?"
"Of course I'm going to find him. Please give me the coordinates. This isn't a mission issued by the military, so you don't have to follow me, "Lucy said.
"You're treating me like an outsider." At the exit of the rooftop, Reese walked up with his hands in his pockets. "Thank you for taking care of us, Boss. We've earned a lot of military merits. We should repay him with something."
"Even a coward like Reese has said so. We, the Shadow Bobcats, don't want to miss this operation." Sock also walked out, just behind Reese.
Reese said angrily, "Who's a coward? Bastard, I want to fight you."
"I accept. If you lose, you have to let Miss Christine join our Shadow Bobcats!" Sock said with a malicious expression.
Reese snorted and said, "If you lose, add your bobcats to my team. You have to call me boss in the future."
Sparks flew in the gazes of the two men, and then Celine crashed into them in the middle. The leader of the Black Knight Legion separated his hands and pushed the two of them away. "Enough, don't bet with Christine. Also, is this the time for a duel? If you mess around again, don't blame me for being rude. "
The two of them seemed to be a little afraid of Celine. They glared at each other, but did not continue the topic just now. At this moment, Nocchi stood beside Celine and said to Lucy, "My sword is ready for you at any time. Miss Lucy, you can decide what to do."
"You guys …" Lucy shook her head, but her eyes were filled with excitement. She turned to Adele and said, "Are you coming?"
"Of course!" The short-haired girl's smile was incomparably arrogant.
In the combat room, Roddy placed his hands on the tactical platform. A three-dimensional map was displayed in the tactical platform. It was Bescot's defensive area. Roddy looked at the map and occasionally reached out to point at the various defensive nodes in the defensive area, adjusting some parameters. At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Fordin's lazy voice sounded, "Don't look, I know your mind isn't on that."
"Damn it, will you die if you're a little stupid occasionally?" Roddy scolded angrily.
Fordin laughed and leaned against the wall as he looked out of the window at the camp, "You're quite calm. I thought you would send someone to look for the young master."
"I want to too. But the old man said that it would be a tempering for that little thing. But three days have passed. I plan to send someone to look for it tomorrow. It's better if nothing really happens. "
"Are you worried about that Grai woman?" Fordin laughed dryly and said, "I don't think she can take Young Master's life. I was the one who fired the previous shot, and I know very well how much weight it has. That woman didn't recover so quickly. She must have played with hidden injuries all over her body. There were two other people beside Young Master Allen. That Belmore was fine, but that Hubble was not simple. With the two of them and our young master, a Grai woman won't be able to threaten him. "
"I'm afraid of other variables."
Suddenly, a family soldier ran in in a hurry and said to Roddy, "Not good, my lord. Just now, just now … "
"If you have something to say, say it." Roddy frowned.
The soldier took a deep breath and nodded, "Miss Lucy just left the camp and drove out two flying cars with the hunting squad. She said she was going to find Young Master Allen. We were unable to stop her. Please punish us, my lord. "
Roddy looked surprised and said, "Nonsense, how do they know where Allen is?"
"That might not be the case." Fordin looked out of the window and smiled, "If you hack into the Federation's system and use the satellite to locate Allen's tactical board signal, you can also get the prepared coordinates. Aren't you doing the same? "
Roddy looked embarrassed as if he had been kicked in the bottom and said, "How can I be the same?" After a pause, he shouted, "You knew long ago, didn't you? Bastard, you didn't stop them?"
"Why should I stop them? Don't you think you should be happy for Young Master Allen? He can find a group of companions who live and die together. How happy that is. "
"Happy my ass. If anything happens to His Highness Lucy, I'll see if you can still be happy. "Roddy scolded.
"You're so stupid. Since His Highness Lucy is involved, there's no need for you to worry about this matter." Fordin looked in the direction of the stronghold's military building. "Don't you think there's a big shot there who should have a headache? It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to have the military send people to search for Young Master. It will save you a lot of effort and cut off some people's unfriendly thoughts. "
Roddy patted his head and said, "I told you that you're better than me at doing these sinister things!"
"Why does your compliment sound unpleasant to me?" Fordin shook his head.
Roddy was too lazy to care about him. He wanted to inform Russen and use the matter of Lucy to drag the Federation into the water. Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded outside the window, causing Roddy and Fordin's expressions to change. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Following that, the brain in the combat room received an urgent notification. A line of information appeared on the big screen, causing Roddy's heart to sink.
The message clearly stated that five minutes ago, a large fleet of foreign allied forces had bypassed the Silverwind Continent and entered the Twilight Continent from the wilderness. The initial estimate of the number of troops carried by this fleet should be around 200,000. This number was already more than twice that of the previous foreign invasion. At present, the stronghold of Black Rock in the north of the continent had already entered a state of full-scale war. It would not be long before the other strongholds would also be attacked.
Roddy's fingers moved, and the map of the Twilight Continent immediately appeared on the big screen. At this moment, the Federation Army had already updated the map with the latest data, so through the screen, one could see that the northern wilderness was covered with dense red dots of light. These dots of light were spreading towards the vast mountains to the south, and on the nearby Black Rock Stronghold, there was a pattern of two swords crossing each other. That meant that the Black Rock Stronghold had already been attacked by the foreign allied forces first.
Looking at the dots of light that almost filled the entire wasteland, one could imagine how huge an army it was, causing Roddy to feel a little suffocated. Among the dots of light, there was a ball of eye-catching purple light. It was a purple skull pattern, and green aura was still spitting out from the skull's mouth. There was only one person in the enemy army that needed to be marked with this pattern. Roddy looked at Fordin, and both of them said the same name in disbelief, "Crosser of Hatred?!"
That was the leader of the foreign allied army, the top expert of the Grai Clan, a supreme figure who could challenge Capulo. At this moment, he had actually arrived at the Wilderness of Withering! This was definitely unexpected news. One had to know that Crosser had been presiding over the attack on the people of Adahua Planet in the Silverwind Continent. He had suddenly moved his position. If there was nothing fishy about it, Roddy would not believe it no matter what he said.
"I always feel like something big is about to happen." Fuding sighed.
"And our young master is in danger." Roddy smiled bitterly and looked at the mountains to the north. On the map on the screen, nearly half of the area had been covered by the red dots of light representing the enemy. Allen's coordinates appeared in the mountains, and now, Lucy was still leading her men towards the battlefield. Roddy had a headache, but it was clear that he was not the only one who had a headache.
Not long after, Russen let out a muffled snort from the stronghold command building. This muffled snort was extremely penetrating, causing all the windows in the command room of the building to buzz. Just now, Roddy reported to him that Lucy was heading to the northern mountains. However, at this time, the allied forces of the non-humankind invaded the Withering Wasteland, which gave Russen a huge problem. His hand creaked as he held the railing of the bridge. A moment later, he loosened it and said to the adjutant, "Go tell Catherine to set off immediately. No matter what she does, she must bring His Highness back to me unharmed! "
The adjutant was stunned and said, "General, isn't it inappropriate to transfer Major General Catherine, a high-level combatant, out of the stronghold at this time?"
"It doesn't matter." Russen exhaled and said, "I'm enough for the Blood Gate Stronghold. Besides, there's naturally our marshal greeting Crossia, the abomination giant. Just do it."
