Leaving the conference room, Catherine's mood was very different from when she entered. It was definitely a surprising decision that Capulo entrusted her to fight for Allen. It seems that Capulo's eyes and ears can't go deep into the heart of the earth, otherwise, knowing the current relationship between her and Allen, the Marshal might not have entrusted her with this task. As long as Capulo is willing, he can find a younger and more beautiful woman than himself, if Allen is so easily seduced by beauty.

The situation now is a little more subtle.

Capulo is very confident, and that confidence is built on the experience of hard-to-get defeats in the past. Throughout his life, he was forced to retreat by Spinak. But who is Spinak, that is one of the two supreme beings of Agares, and he is a legendary figure on the same list as the king of justice Orfascis. Losing to such a person would not damage Kaprow's honor in the slightest. It was only as he said that the incumbent president made a fuss about it, so that the reputation of the Golden Lion plummeted.

Even in the current struggle between the old and new parties, Windsor Bello is like a brilliant shooting star across the sky, and the light will cover Capulo. But in fact, if the two fight against each other, it is generally believed that Capulo has a higher chance of winning. Even if he recovers from a secret injury, no one dares to underestimate the background of a generation of legends.

So Capulo has never doubted any of his decisions, and it is almost impossible to hide from such a person. Only an occasional coincidence like Catherine can cast a shadow in Capulo's sight.

Now Capulo gives her such a chance, even if Catherine and Allen finally get together, it can be called a fake show, and it will not make the old lion suspicious. For Catherine, this was an opportunity to legitimize her relationship with Ellen. At that time, she will use Allen's hand to do something, and it will be justified. At least if he left the Sunrise alone like last time, General Russen would not say anything.

Thinking of this, Catherine smiled.

Lin Frost Star.

Amidst the whistling wind and snow, the roar of wild beasts could be faintly heard. Some are like wolves, but the voice is three points sharper, which makes Allen want to plug his ears on both sides. He regretted that he didn't take Lauder's tactical helmet away, otherwise the shield on the helmet now could block the all-pervasive snow powder for him. This was the third day after leaving Chaos Canyon. Before daylight came, a blizzard suddenly blew up. This storm made the world a blur. There were white snowfalls everywhere. They were crushed by the strong wind and turned into fine powder mud, completely covering Allen's sight.

In such a snowstorm, the field of vision is only a few meters, and the direction is difficult to distinguish. Allen didn't know where he was going, but he couldn't stop. Otherwise, it won't be long before the wind and snow will bury him. He had to find shelter from the wind and make plans after the storm passed.

Fortunately for him, it didn't take long for him to find a low slope. The slope wind is a natural shelter from the wind. Allen sat down against the hillside, took off his rucksack, rifle and heavy knife, and wrapped his whole body with a cloak. When the wind and snow stopped for a while, a snow bag had already been piled up at his feet. Allen stood up from the snow, and looked around, the ground had been flooded with snow.

This environment was not comfortable for him who was hiking. Fortunately, the wind and snow stopped, and there was light and shadow on the ground again. Using the sunlight as a reference, Allen re-acquainted himself with the direction and continued to trek eastward. Two hours later, a forest was quietly in sight. Participate in ancient trees to block the wind and snow, and the snow in the forest is getting less and less. Only the canopy was painted with patches of silver and white, and snowdrifts were built one by one. From time to time, snow will pour down from the canopy like a silver waterfall.

Alan didn't know if this forest was the Forest of Holly, but anyway, walking in the forest was easier. What's more, the forest line spreads from thin to dense, but he can't choose it. Unless he diverted around the forest, but that would be unnecessary. Linnei seemed quiet, and most of Linshuang's beasts were asleep during the day. But it was getting dark, the day was fading, and night was preparing to fall.

The sky gradually turned from gray to golden, heralding the arrival of sunset. Allen has penetrated more than ten kilometers into the forest, where there are lush trees and various cold-resistant plants abound. The rough ground was covered with not-so-thick snow. The previous blizzard was mostly blocked by the trees, so that the wind and snow did not enter the forest, and new snow was finally spread on the ground. The snow reflects the twilight light, causing shadows of different sizes to appear on the uneven ground.

Not far from Allen, a very faint, even intermittent, but straight shadow caught his attention. In a place like this in the wild forest, there are almost no things with such regular shapes. When he got closer, he found that this shadow was due to the fact that the snow here was lifted upwards to build a long and short snow embankment, which left such a shadow under the projection of the sun.

Allen squatted down, fiddled with the snow line with his hands, and even blew several breaths towards the ground. Moments later, a rope buried in the snow emerged. This rope is very thin, with burrs all over the surface, and the two colors of dark green and dark brown are interlaced. It seems that the bark is torn into strips, and then twisted into strands, and finally this long rope is woven. The workmanship of the rope is rough, and because it has been buried under the snow for a long time, it has been frozen very dry by the ice and snow. It's easy to tear off with just a tug.

It was tied in the middle of two ancient trees, and Allen looked up, and in the intertwined bare branches of the two ancient trees, he saw sharpened wooden pegs. They were facing the snow above them. Obviously, this was a simple and primitive trap. Allen stretched out his hand to pull the long rope in the snow, and broke it with a little force. The part tied to the old tree on the right quickly retreated upwards, there was a sound of branches and leaves trembling overhead, and then darkness fell from the sky in front of my eyes. More than a dozen sharpened wooden sticks slammed into the snow ahead like cannonballs, sending snow powder everywhere.

It's not hard to imagine that if a wild animal triggered the trap, it would have turned into a corpse on the snow.

Since there are traps, there are those who set them up. Judging from the primitiveness of the materials used in the trap, it was probably not arranged by humans, but by planetary natives like headhunters. Alan didn't want to waste unnecessary time, so he bypassed the trap. It's a pity that he didn't go very far when his heart suddenly moved. Immediately, he heard a sharp piercing sound in his ears, and he moved back. A spear sharpened with wood and painted with circles of dark red color was nailed into the snow. The spear swayed erratically by itself, and several more spears shot from among the surrounding ancient trees.

Allen flicked left and right, avoiding two. The remaining three bolts shot towards him, and his eyes froze. The source force rushed out of the body. The spear shot at the light curtain of source power, was broken and bounced off, and the fragments flew randomly, shooting a fan-shaped area around the body like bullets. The trunks of those old trees trembled after being swept, shaking off countless powder dust. As for the low grass and shrubs, the roots of the grass were broken and the branches and leaves were broken.

After a burst of random shooting, a figure staggered out from behind an old tree a few meters away to the right. After walking a few steps, he fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a headhunter. A fist-sized wound was blasted out of his chest by the fragments of the spear full of source power. The surface of the wound was bloody and bloody. After the injured headhunter twitched on the ground, he finally lost his breath.

At this time, human-shaped shadows emerged from the trees and forests. Allen looked up and looked around, as if he had been surrounded by headhunters. To say the least, there are twenty or thirty headhunters appearing around, they are either squatting on the canopy of the old trees, or digging out of the withered grass. And no matter where they are, they all stare at Allen with murderous eyes without exception.

Allen raised his hand and shook: "Look clearly, I'm not your prey. How about this, I'll leave now, and we can all save some trouble."

However, what responded to him was repeated roars, and a headhunter even jumped straight down from the tree. Raising a machete made of nameless animal bones in his hand, he slashed towards Allen's head. Allen sighed softly, and as if conjuring an extra magic rifle in his left hand, he fired three shots in a row.

Yuanli bullets pulled out streaks of bright light, and the headhunter swung his knife to chop it off. The bone knife flicked away immediately, and then it was shot twice in the chest, and fell from mid-air. Looking at it like that, I'm afraid he won't survive, but it's not enough to shock other headhunters. The natives of these planets yelled and rushed towards Allen with their weapons. Allen sneered. These headhunters whose source power is generally at the eleventh or second level are not even troublesome for Allen today, but it will take some time to solve them.

The magic rifle fired several bursts in his hand, blasting the head of one headhunter and forcing the other three away. Holding the blood in his right hand, he drew a few patches of turbulent red light, the red light was like silk, reflecting this space in the forest as if it was covered with a layer of dripping blood. Those headhunters who hit the silk light first had cracks in their bodies, and finally they were shattered and turned into pieces all over the ground.

In the blink of an eye, four or five headhunters died on the spot.

Allen shot left and right, stood where he was, and glanced coldly at the surrounding headhunters. Just when they were about to organize another wave of offensive, a beam of light suddenly flashed from the depths of the forest, blasting into the middle of the headhunters, causing an explosion immediately.

This is the beam of a high energy cannon!

Then Alan's ears heard continuous gunshots, and the sharp lines of fire intertwined to form a firepower net, firmly covering the headhunters surrounding Alan. Under this sudden attack, the headhunter kept falling. At this time, there was another sharp howl in the forest, and two figures flashed into the middle of the headhunters, both of them were constantly harvesting the lives of the natives of these planets with their curved sabers.

Allen swept over them, but they were two twin brothers who looked exactly the same.

In a few breaths of time, the headhunters were killed and injured a lot. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the rest of the natives immediately scattered and left in no time, leaving only corpses lying on the ground.
