The End of the Earth

One of the largest mining areas in old Belarus, it is rich in potash, a material that can be used to make fertilizer.

The mining area also contains other types of minerals, and the reserves of potassium salt alone are enough for the Belarusians at that time to use for more than 50 years.

After the White Flash incident, Russia, after stabilizing its internal situation, set its sights on this territory. Most of the White Russian survivors and forces at the time chose to merge into Russia, while a small number who had a deep hatred for the Elf Kingdom chose to stay and continue to resist the Elf Kingdom.

Gradually, the three parties started to compete overtly and covertly around the Petrikov mining area.

A few kilometers away from the Petrikov mining area, Xiang San was lying on Nubiga's back, waiting for news from the Garo scouts sent out.

About half an hour later, relevant coordinate positioning data came from his communicator.

"Alright, boys, we've found a relatively small location. Everyone, from the same coordinates, will infiltrate the mining area. As we transform into demons, we won't be detected by any type of imaging system.

But we must also act with caution. After sneaking into the mining area, we will split into groups of five to explore the mining area according to the original plan.

Once you enter the mining area, you are not allowed to use the communication system. Gather at the initial coordinates at midnight and report back to me."

"Roger that! Commander!"

After all the Garo demons started to act, Xiang San asked Nubiga to return the same way. It was night now, and if it stayed here during the day, it would become too conspicuous.

Only when Xiang San arrived at the coordinates did he understand why the people he sent out said that the defense at that location was weak and could be broken through. It turned out that this coordinate was the camp of one of the forces.

Xiang San passed by like a ghost. His demonic body moved at high speed without causing friction with the air, and his feet landed on the ground as silently as cotton.

In a barracks, Xiang San actually saw more than a dozen human officers having a big party with wine and meat?

In this situation? These guys are actually still in the mood to play a Pistons game?

Xiang San wondered if he was seeing things. The mining area was littered with corpses after the three-way fight. These people...

He inquired about several barracks before he realized that this area belonged to the White Russian Resistance Army. He didn't know what these people were thinking, putting the camp on the front line. The person commanding this team must be a weirdo.

Xiang San shook his head and looked at the lighted military camps with disdain, then left and entered the mining area.

The mining area was littered with corpses. The bodies he saw along the way were relatively intact, most of them were shot to death, and the winding, inward-circling roads in the mining area showed no signs of damage.

Judging from the current situation, no heavy equipment was involved in the fight here, which means that Ye Minghao's troops were not fighting here.

But even so, it is estimated that it is not too far from the mining area, perhaps just outside the mining area in other directions.

For large vehicles like tanks, open areas and cities are their home turf.

Although the conflict did not break out underground in the mining area, Xiang San firmly believed that their real target was deep in the mining area.

Because in the eyes of the demonized Xiang San, an energy even more terrifying than the dark matter factor has been gushing out from the depths of the mining area. This dark spectrum with a purple tint is not recognizable to the human eye, but the demonized pupils can distinguish and capture its existence.

"Even the demon cells are starting to get scared? This underground... do you want to go in?"

As if asking and answering himself, after a moment he glanced at the time on the terminal display on his wrist and decided to first meet up with the Garomo team to share intelligence before taking secret action.

At this time, at the end of the mine, at the end of the route laid for dozens of mine transportation mining machines a thousand meters underground, there is a giant building complex hidden underground.

At this moment, two groups of people, totaling several hundred people, are confronting each other outside the building complex, and the leaders of both sides are negotiating.

A male elf with scarlet eyes and wearing the standard officer armor of the Elf Royal Court and a Russian bearded man wearing a camouflage vest are fighting for the ownership of this place.

"Shegrev, I think the secret of this place should be shared between the two of us. With the region in turmoil and the rampant spread of malignant life forms, I don't think we have much time to mess around here for too long. What do you think?"

The speaker was Lingmuye, one of the Elf Court Guard officers that Ye Minghao had converted earlier. After Calista came to power, in order to reduce the elves' hatred towards Ye Minghao, she transferred the four elves into Ye Minghao's organization. In name, it was to monitor Ye Minghao's army internally, but in fact, she simply threw the four problem elves out of the Royal Court Province to prevent someone from causing trouble for her and Ye Minghao.

The four transformed Elf Guard officers still have their previous memories, but their minds have been branded by Ye Minghao and cannot be changed.

Shegrev smiled obscurely and said nonchalantly, "You elves just like to oversimplify things, thinking that you know how to deal with humans after reading some of the history of the Earth.

Don't you think about how we knew the secrets here? It was your Elven Kingdom that discovered it first."

Lingmuye knew that this person was playing tricks on him and hinting that there was a Russian insider in the Elf Royal Court. It was true that he had been converted, but his IQ was not zero.

"Don't tell me that nonsense, old man.

Come on, either we develop this palace together and make a fortune together, or we start fighting now, just like we did at the border, and we fight to the death."

Shegrev laughed and pointed at Lingmuye: "You elves are really interesting. Do you put all your talents on your face and age? If you want to start a war, come on. You can use magic, but we also have fusionists!"

There are countless fusionists in Russia. Now the country with the most fusionists on the earth is Russia, let alone your two hundred people.

Even if all the troops of your Elven Kingdom were here, I, Shegrev, would not hesitate for a second and fight you to the bitter end."

The tension between the two sides grew stronger, and after a long time Shegrev spoke.

"Let's not waste our breath. This matter is not something that you and I can decide. I know that your purpose here is the same as mine, which is to delay each other's time. I am not good at talking.

I suggest we stop bickering. We're just stalling for time and waiting for orders anyway. Why don't we just fight for a while to save ourselves the boredom?"

Lingmuye smiled, unhooked the sword from his waist, took off his armor, and clenched his fists, saying, "I've been wanting to spar with you for a long time. I've studied the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do for so long, and today I just want to experience the secrets of human martial arts in real combat with you."

Jeet Kune Do?

Shegrev's eyebrows twitched slightly. This was a philosophical concept of fighting martial arts created by the old-time martial arts master Bruce Lee. He had only heard of it and did not understand its actual content.

But after a few rounds of fighting, he knew what Jeet Kune Do was. The profound meaning of the word "Jeet Kune Do" was evident. With his acquired physical strength, Shegrev was not inferior to Lingmuye.

But he was unable to gain the upper hand every time he attacked. Lingmuye, relying on his agility and understanding of the martial arts philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, was able to intercept his attacks and switch to a defensive position, which kept Shegrev suppressed throughout the fight. Although he was able to force Lingmuye to retreat, he was suppressed by him again after a few rounds.

The subordinates of the two men formed two semicircles. Although their weapons were still on alert, their attention was all focused on the current highest-ranking commander of both sides.

The fierce fight between the two sides made the onlookers' blood boil. Apart from the battles between large armies, only the close combat between strong men could create such an atmosphere.
