Chapter 232: The Death Array (I)

Viper Rift.

The Viper Rift is the largest rift in the entire Kith Mountains, its rugged terrain resembles a chauffeur-driven viper, and many parts of the valley are directly connected to other small rifts around it, so when the mutants rebel on the planet Gotha rebels, it became the base camp of the mutant rebels, and most of the main rebel forces are gathered here.

Currently, the position of Supreme Commander of the Mutant Rebels is held by a man named Kaul... Mutant warriors of Harald.

Kaul... Harald hails from the United States of Sava within the Immortal Arm of the Galactic Universe and served as commander of the 2nd Field Brigade of the United States of Sava before being removed and deported by the United States of Sava for killing a large number of unarmed civilians during a military campaign to suppress the insurrection. After coming to the Hoffman Empire. Kaulbiharald had hoped to make a comeback in the Middle East of the empire with his superior force. It's a pity that in the Empire's genetic assessment, he was assessed as a mutant because he had injected illegal drugs. The definition of mutant imposed on him drove him into the abyss, making him completely lose the possibility of success in the empire, and making him one of the most core initiators at the beginning of the mutant rebellion.

Colby, Harald, a fierce-looking, blonde-haired man of purest Norwegian blood. In this vast era of the universe, it is very rare to maintain a single ethnic lineage, and only a large ethnic group like the Han nationality in the old era, which accounted for one-fifth of the world's population, could maintain a sufficiently pure national lineage in this era.

And Kaul... The Harald family of Harald did everything they could to keep their bloodline pure because their ancestors were kings of Norway and ruled a country for six generations in the old days.

But during the Age of Discovery, the Harald expedition failed.

Although they were not wiped out in the dangerous alien realm like some expeditions, they have gradually faded from the aura of royalty in the rapidly changing era and have become ordinary members of the United States of Savoy.

However, the pretentious Kaul... Harald, however, has not forgotten the glory of his family.

The name Kaulby in Norway means a man from a dark region, alluding to the dark times that the Harald family is currently facing.

Kaul... Harald has an almost paranoid passion for wearing the crown, and after discovering the danger of mutants in the Hoffman Empire, he almost single-handedly instigated this massive mutant rebellion. With the covert support of Count Huggins, he led his almost rangers-like mutant army to suppress the Hammer Knights, who were known to be the most capable of attacking, and were only one step away from driving Viscount Cremont and his green race out of the Michel system and reasserting his royal title.

He never expected that at this critical moment when he was about to reap the benefits of success, the lizardman, who had always been despised by him, suddenly jumped out to make trouble. Not only did the audacious Sī withhold the latest batch of supplies, but he even dared to attack his soldiers, slaughtering nearly fifty brave mutant warriors under his command.

After surveying the three scenes of the incident and finding some strong evidence that the attackers were lizardmen, Colby Harald was furious. In a communication conversation with the leader of the lizardmen, he vowed to rally his army to kill them all without even listening to the other party's conditions, and, without the consent of the other mutant leaders, began to mobilize troops on a large scale in the direction of Keith Peak, creating a posture that would besiege the lizard forces.

There is no doubt that Kaul... Harald's actions have further exacerbated the situation, and the contradictions between the main mutant force and the lizard forces have become irreconcilable. This is an extremely negative factor for the mutant rebels who are currently in the win. So, after Calby, Harald gave the order, several mutant rebel leaders demanded that Kaul... Harald kept his sanity and resolved this internal dispute peacefully. But for their opinion, Kaul... Harald refused without hesitation, insisting on making the lizardmen pay the price of blood.

In fact, Colby, Harald is not unaware of the serious consequences that he may have if he does this, and the reason why he insists on making such a decision is more for his personal interests.

After all, for now, although he holds the full command of the mutant rebels, this position of power is not stable. Currently, there is a parliament-like system within the mutants, which has left his power largely dispersed. Therefore, he hopes to take advantage of this time when the lizardmen have defected, and use the blood of the lizards to establish his prestige, so that he can have the opportunity to hold power like a real king.

Of course, the consequences of the lizardmen holding on to supplies for a long time Kaul... Harald knew it, too, but he thought he had the backing of Earl Huggins, and he thought that Count Huggins admired him. We will definitely not skimp on some material gifts at this extremely critical moment. Therefore, he is confident that he will use the sī relationship between himself and Count Huggins to tide the mutant rebels through this difficult time, and use this opportunity to redivide the power within the mutant rebels, so that he can truly ascend to the throne of the mutant king.

However, he never imagined that he completely overestimated his status in the eyes of Count Huggins, and he never imagined that Count Huggins would completely cut off contact with the mutant rebels. When the communication signal could not be connected, he could not even talk to Earl Huggins, so how could he ask Earl Huggins for supplies?

For such a situation, Kaul... Harald was completely unacceptable. He didn't want to believe that Count Huggins had abandoned them, and he stubbornly insisted that it was Viscount Cremont who had blocked the communication signal, making it impossible for him to communicate with Count Huggins. Therefore, on the one hand, he ordered the communication troops to do their best to repair the communication signal, and on the other hand, he personally led the troops to surround Keith Peak, trying to solve the dispute within the mutants in the shortest possible time.

In order to avoid being swayed by the shortage of supplies, Colby Harald lied that he had the support of Earl Huggins, and declared that Earl Huggins' transport fleet would soon arrive. In addition, in order to divert the attention of the army, he announced the attack of the lizardmen in a very flapping way, and looked at the mutants who attacked and died, trying to further provoke the anger of the soldiers under his command, hoping to use the anger of the soldiers to create favorable conditions for the use of force to conquer Keith Peak.

In a sense, Kaul... Harald himself has driven himself to a dead end.

He didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes around him that were constantly watching the dynamics of the situation, and he didn't realize that his series of struggles were just tightening the rope around his neck.

The day after the lizardmen announced the withholding of supplies, the Viper Valley forces were assigned by Colby Harald to attack Keith's peak for the first time. However, these angry mutant soldiers could no longer move forward when they reached the halfway point of Keith Peak, and although the breathing masks they wore were effective in isolating the sulfur dioxide gas that permeated Keith Peak, because most of the mutant soldiers were equipped with civilian armor, the sulfur dioxide poison would still slowly penetrate their bloodstream through their violent skin, and spread throughout their bodies through the flow of blood, causing them to die unknowingly by poisoning.

Only a handful of elite soldiers equipped with full-coverage military armor barely managed to reach the main peak of Mount Keith, but the scorching temperature and physical exertion of climbing all the way made it difficult for them to climb the main peak.
