Under the family's righteousness, no hunting group is willing to bear the stigma of deserters. Even Lawley and Vader's team, who came from the surface, were still nominally attached to a family. If they escape, then on the records of this hunting group. It will leave an extremely disgraceful mark, and it will be difficult to be hired by other families in the future.

Therefore, for a mercenary hunting group like Vader, unless the battle situation is dangerous and the situation has reached the point of despair, they will not choose to retreat, unless they plan to disband the hunting group in the future.

Reina's words choked all the regimental commanders in the room half to death, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason. His sentence of crossing out all the heavy fire areas did make the pressure on the remaining defense areas equal, and there was no uneven distribution. Then whether you can defend the defense area you are responsible for depends on your own ability, which is a relatively compromise for all hunting groups.

Ned looked at his words, and quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Reina's proposal is excellent, I didn't think it through before, and I must apologize to you for this." So go ahead, I'll send the new zone map to your tactical brains as soon as possible. At that time, you only need to register the defense area you are responsible for with the adjutant, and all defense tasks will be unified as fourth-level military merits in accordance with the regulations of the military department. After the battle, you can redeem it directly from me, and here, I wish you all the best of luck. ”

The meeting ended, and the heads of the various hunting regiments retreated one after another. Reina was the last to come and the last to go. When he and Ned were left in the war room, he said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Colonel, don't you think it's strange? ”

"What's strange?" Ned asked casually as he was packing his things.

Reina saw the map on the plasma panel: "There were no enemy scouts near the base beforehand, how did they locate the coordinates of our base?" How long have we been on Frost, ten years? Twenty years? In general, we should have a geographical advantage. But now you see, the other bases are under attack by enemy forces, how do they quickly lock down the location of our various bases on a completely unfamiliar planet? ”

Ned was picking up a tactical board, and when he heard this, he froze, barely able to catch the tactical board. He looked up suddenly: "You mean, someone leaked the coordinates of the base?" ”

"We've had a guess before, and you probably don't know. Before coming to Rinshuang, when the hunting group's fleet was assembling and arranging, it had already been attacked. Then came the time of the frost, and we were attacked a second time. With two attacks before and after, without warning at all, didn't the Federation's intelligence department even grasp the enemy's movements? Or is it that someone should cooperate with the outside so that the two actions of the enemy army did not trigger the Federation's intelligence network? ”

Ned already had beads of sweat on his forehead: "If that's the case, that's a shame." But who would dare to do that, Mr. Reina, and do you think this should be reported to the General Staff Headquarters? ”

Reyna shook his head: "Unless the staff headquarters is full of wine bags and rice barrels, they should be aware of the clues." What's more, this matter is very important, and it will definitely not be ordinary people who can do this. The time and place of the gathering of the starships, the time of entry into the planet, and the coordinates of the various bases, which is not a military secret? To be able to know such important information well, it goes without saying that it must be a big man in the Federation. And no matter which big guy it is, it's not something you and I can afford to provoke, so I think it's better to keep silent about this matter. ”

Hearing Reina say this, Ned breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead: "That's right, it's not easy for a small person like me to be able to sit in this position until now." If you want to meddle in this kind of thing again, I am afraid that it will not be enough. ”

Reina nodded, said nothing more, and left. The outside world was as dark as the chaotic and completely uncertain prospect of the moment. Reyna hates the feeling and he'd rather be real. The gun is tearing and killing on the battlefield, and I don't want to be on guard for the feeling that I don't know when a dagger will be stabbed from behind. If that hand that covers the sky is not removed, whether it is the Federation, the strong people who participate in the free hunt, or even the family army, they will hide in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

The man was a more formidable enemy than the alien coalition, and he hid in the shadows, playing with armies and powerful men like puppets. Reiner guessed that he could even use the hands of his enemies to cut off those who were against him. For example, a certain family?

He shuddered at the thought of himself.

It's a battle on another level, and apparently, he can't participate in that level of war yet. Not only him, but the vast majority of people are ignorant, and many more people can't even see the side that deep and far. The interstellar battlefield has become a mysterious sea, and most people are just duckweed on the sea. Not to mention seeing through the world with undercurrents surging under the sea, he doesn't even control his own fate.

Under the general trend, the power of the individual seems so small. Although Reina didn't want to admit it, he knew that there would always be only a handful of people who could influence the situation. Sadly, he wasn't one of those people. So he could see some of the undercurrents below the surface of the sea, but he still couldn't change anything. He is like a fish swimming in the sea, seeing more and deeper than duckweed, but he is powerless to change anything.

The cold wind swept the snow powder desperately trying to burrow into Alan's nostrils, and he took a deep breath of the cold air on the surface, and instead of frozen, his chest rose with a flame of joy. After seven days and nights of travel, he finally saw the light of day again. Now he and Catherine stood on a high slope covered in ice and snow, and the view was a silver-white world covered in ice and snow.

The rolling hills stretched towards the end of the horizon, and the irregular patches of trees scattered like blue-gray patches on the silver earth. The snowflakes fluttered between the heavens and the earth, as if the snow on the frost star would never stop for a moment, but it could continue to fall until the end of the planet. It was twilight, the sky was darkened in the distance, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the distant woods, a world full of life.

"This isn't the Holly Forest." Catherine frowned slightly, whether it was the terrain or the environment, this place was very different from the Holly Forest, and she didn't know where it was on the Frost Star.

They are underground, so naturally they have no way to discern their location. The previous strong earthquake caused by Mother Earth changed the pattern of the cave labyrinth. It was impossible to return the way they came, and Alan and the others had to find another way out. After nearly a week, they didn't know how far they had gone underground. I only remember passing through the lair of three lurking monsters, and there were several violent conflicts with underground creatures, and there were countless lurkers and other creatures who died at their hands, and the two of them almost killed from the ground to the surface.

Not to mention Catherine at this moment, even Alan is also full of murderous energy.

"Whatever it is, we've finally come out. I don't want to drill any further if I could. Alan said casually.

Catherine snorted coldly: "Don't forget what you promised me, if you dare to break your word, I will make you look good." ”

"I'll keep my promise, don't worry." Alan shrugged and said, "So, what are your plans?" ”

"Of course it's back to Sunrise, I've been out for so long, General Russen should be furious. In fact, I haven't seen him until now, which is quite a surprise. Catherine glanced at the scenery below the slope and said, "Only after sunrise can I tell the way, and then return to the starship to meet my men." ”

"You don't have a communicator or anything like that?"

Catherine shook her head and smiled, "I was trampled on by myself." ”

With a "that's how it should be" expression, Alan rubbed his hands together and said, "Looks like we're going to have to stay here for one night, and then tomorrow, we'll go our separate ways." ”

He was going back to the Kaiyan base, and the route was probably a little different from Catherine's. Catherine returned to the cave they had drilled before, "Go find some branches or something, and we'll have to make a fire, unless you want to spend the night in the cold." ”

"Yes, my general." Alan jumped down the hill and into a grove below. It wasn't long before he not only brought back enough firewood to fuel up, but also beat a wolf-like beast, which was their dinner.

The fire was shining in the small cave, and a bonfire burned at the entrance of the cave, illuminating the surrounding hillside. On this dark night, the bonfire illuminates a small world like an independent world.

A small world that belongs only to Alan and Catherine.

The roast made a soft crackle on the fire, the sound of fat dripping from the meat into the fire. Alan wrapped a few slices of roasted beast meat in a leaf and placed it in front of Catherine: "Eat it, but be careful of scalding." ”

Catherine picked up the smallest piece of it and pushed the rest to Alan: "You can eat some too, I'll eat this piece enough." ”

Alan watched as she tore the roast into strips and tossed it into her mouth to chew. She ate quietly, as if enjoying every hint of the aroma of the barbecue. The quiet Catherine was like a girl next door, and Alan looked at her and said, "With your potential, you should be able to become a Dominator in a few years." At that time, life will usher in a great metamorphosis. One of the most important is the extension of natural lifespan, when you can live for a hundred or two hundred years without a problem. So I can't figure out why you're so obsessed with the pursuit of a long life, especially at your age. This seems ......"

"Doesn't make sense, does it?" Catherine looked at him, her deep eyes lit up by the firelight, "That's right. With great potential, a high position, and a life that has just begun, I should be like your teacher, Marshal Greedy Wolf, squandering my time. But I'm not Windsor Bello, and you won't know what I've been through. Anyway, I have my reasons. ”
