Chapter 647: Duckweed

Under the righteousness of the family, no hunting group is willing to bear the infamy of deserters. Even the team of Lawley and Vader, they came from the surface, but they are currently attached to a family in name. If they escape, it will be on the records of this hunting group. It will be extremely dishonorable, and it will be difficult to be hired by other families in the future.

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

Reina's words choked all the team leaders in the room to death, and wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason. His sentence of crossing out all the heavy firepower areas did make the remaining defense areas have equal pressure, so there was no uneven distribution. So whether you can defend the defense zone you are responsible for depends on your own ability, which is very important for all hunters

Ned checked his words and quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Renner's suggestion is excellent. I didn't think carefully before, and I have to apologize to everyone for this. So let's do this, I will send the new defense zone map to you 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 into four-level military merit according to the regulations of the military department. After the battle, you can directly exchange it with me, here , I wish you all the best of luck.”

The meeting ended here, and the heads of the hunting groups retreated one after another. Rainer was the last to come and the last to leave. When he and Ned were left in the war room, he said in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Colonel, don't you find it strange?"

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

Reina saw the map on the plasma board: "The enemy's scouts were not found near the base beforehand. How did they locate the coordinates of our base? How long have we been operating on Rinfrost, ten years? Twenty years? In general For example, we should have a geographical advantage. But now you see, other bases have been attacked by the enemy, how did they quickly lock the location of our bases on a completely strange planet?"

Ned was picking up a tactical board, but when he heard this sentence, his movements froze, and he could hardly grasp the tactical board. He raised his head impressively: "You mean, someone leaked the coordinates of the base?"

"We have already had such a guess before, maybe you don't know it. Before coming to Rinshuang, when the hunting team fleet was gathering and organizing, it had already encountered an attack. Then when we entered Rinshuang, we were attacked by the second Two attacks. There was no warning at all beforehand. Could it be that the Federation’s intelligence department didn’t even have a clue of the enemy’s dynamics? Or in other words, someone cooperated inside and outside, so that neither of the enemy’s two actions triggered the Federation’s intelligence. network?"

Ned's forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "If this is the case, it will be terrible. But who would dare to do this, Mr. Rainer, do you think this matter should be reported to the General Staff Headquarters?"

Renner shook his head: "Unless the staff headquarters is full of drunks,

Otherwise they should have noticed the clues. What's more, this matter is very important, and it is definitely not an ordinary person who can do this. The time and location of the starship assembly, the time of entering the planet, and the coordinates of each base, which one is not a military secret? To be able to know such important information well, needless to say, he must be a big shot in the federation. And no matter which big person it is, you and I can't afford to provoke it, so I think it's better to keep silent about this matter. "

Hearing what Rainer said, Ned breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat 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 I want to intervene in this kind of thing again, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. "

Renner nodded, said goodbye and left without saying anything. The sky in the outside world is dark, just like the current chaotic and completely unclear prospect. Renner hated this feeling, he would rather fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield, than always be on guard against the feeling that a dagger will be stabbed from behind at any time. If the hand that covers the sky is not removed, no matter if it is the Federation, the powerful people participating in free hunting, or even the family's army, they will be hidden in an extremely unfavorable situation.

That person is a more terrifying enemy than the alien coalition army. He hides in the dark and plays with the army and the strong like a puppet. Rainer guessed that he could even use the enemy's hand to cut off those enemies who were against him. For example, a certain family?

He shuddered at the thought himself.

This is another level of fighting, and obviously, he is not yet able to participate in that level of war. Not only him, but the vast majority of people are ignorant, and more people can't even see such a deep and far side. The interstellar battlefield has become a mysterious sea, and most people are just duckweed on the sea. Not to mention seeing through the world of undercurrents under the sea, he didn't even control his own destiny.

Under the general trend, the power of the individual seems so small. Although Renner didn't want to admit it, he knew that there were always only a few people who could control the situation. Sadly, he wasn't one of those people. So he could see some undercurrents under the sea, but he still couldn't change anything. He is like a fish swimming in the sea, he sees more and deeper world than duckweed, but he is also powerless to change anything.

The cold wind rolled snow powder and desperately tried to get into Allen's nostrils. He took a deep breath of the cold air on the surface, and instead of freezing his chest, a flame of joy rose. After seven days and nights of traveling, he finally saw the light of day again. Now he and Catherine are standing on a high slope covered in ice and snow, where the silver-white world covered in ice and snow can be seen as far as the eye can see.

The undulating hills continue to stretch toward the end of the horizon, and irregular patches of woods are scattered on this silver land like blue-gray patches. The snowflakes fluttered non-stop between the sky and the earth, as if the snow on the star of Linshuang would never stop for a moment, but it continued to fall until the end of the planet. It was sunset at this moment, the sky in the distance was stained with a layer of dark yellow, and the roar of wild animals came from the woods in the distance. This is a world full of vitality.

"This is not the Forest of Holly." Catherine frowned slightly. Whether it is the terrain or the environment, there is a big difference between this place and the Forest of Holly, and I don't know where it is on the Frost Star.

They are underground, so naturally they have no way of identifying their location. The previous strong earthquake caused by Mother Earth changed the pattern of the cave maze even more. It is impossible to go back the same way, and Allen and the others can only find another way out. After spending nearly a week, they didn't know how far they had traveled underground. I only remember passing through the lair where three lurking monsters lived, and had several violent conflicts with underground creatures. Many lurking monsters and other creatures died in their hands. The two almost killed them from the ground to the ground.

Let alone Catherine at this moment, even Allen is full of murderous intent.

"No matter where it is, we finally came out. If possible, I don't want to drill underground anymore." Allen said casually.

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

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

"Of course it's back to the Sunrise. I've been out for so long, General Lu Sen should be furious. In fact, I haven't seen him until now, and I'm quite surprised." Catherine scanned the scenery down the slope and said, "Only the Sunrise After that, I can distinguish the direction, and then return to the starship to join my people."

"You don't have a communicator or something?"

Catherine shook her head and smiled: "I stepped on it myself."

Allen showed a "that's it" expression. He rubbed his hands and said, "It seems that we have to stay here for one night, and then we will part ways tomorrow."

He was going back to the Casterly Rock base, and the route probably differed from Catherine's. Catherine turned back to the cave they had drilled out before: "You go find some branches or something, we have to make a fire, unless you want to spend the night in the cold."

"Obey, my general." Allen jumped down the hillside and got into a small wood at the bottom of the hill. Before long, he not only brought back enough firewood for fuel, but also shot a wolf-like beast, which was their supper.

In the small cave, the fire was shining brightly, and a bonfire was burning at the entrance of the cave, illuminating the surrounding hillside. On this gloomy night, the place illuminated by the bonfire is like a small world left behind.

A small world that only belongs to Ellen and Catherine.

There was a soft crackling sound as the meat was roasting on the fire, the sound of the fat dripping from the meat into the fire. Allen wrapped a few pieces of roasted animal meat with a leaf and put it in front of Catherine: "Eat it, but be careful of burning it."

Catherine picked up the smallest piece and pushed the others to Allen: "You eat some too, this is enough for me."

Allen watched her tear off the barbecue into strips, and then threw it into her mouth to chew. She ate quietly, as if enjoying every scent of the barbecue. The quiet Catherine was like a girl next door. Allen looked at her and said, "With your potential, you should be able to advance to the rank of ruler in a few years. At that time, your life will usher in a huge transformation. The most important thing is The most important thing is the prolongation of natural lifespan. At that time, it should not be a problem for you to live for a hundred or two hundred years. So I can't figure out why you are so obsessed with the pursuit of a long life, especially at your current age. It seems..."

"It doesn't make sense, does it?" Catherine looked at him, her deep eyes illuminated by the flames: "That's right. I have great potential, I'm in a high position, and my life has just begun. I should spend as much as your teacher, Marshal Tanlang. Time is right. But I'm not Windsor Bellow, and you don't know what I've been through. Anyway, I have my reasons."
