Edge of the Apocalypse

"This kind of thing really resembles your style." Capro pressed his fingers to the tabletop and said, "Couldn't I also have such a chess piece by my side?"

"Absolutely not. If you don't even have this kind of sincerity, then our alliance seems too fragile." Vincent said lightly: "The purpose of our light and hidden society is to hide in the shadows and control the progress of the world. Like. This way of doing things is in line with our purpose. If it weren't for some accidents, we would not be exposed to the sun. Nowadays, we just act in the same style as before.

"The most wonderful thing about this plan is that the sword of dawn is a weapon belonging to the Federation. Even if the man cannot be killed, afterwards, I think Mobit would not know how to explain it to him. At that time, they became suspicious. We can take the opportunity to come in. Induce, subvert, and finally bring the Federation down!"

Capro squinted his eyes and stood up and said: "If I were just a federal marshal, I would never agree to such a thing. It is a shame to use space weapons against a strong man, but now I still need to My army and people are responsible. Therefore, I will support this plan."

Vincent laughed: "Speaking is not enough, Marshal Capulo, I need to see something substantial."

"For example?" Capulo raised an eyebrow.

"For example, I need the elite team of golden lions to protect me. Of course, these people must remove the relevant emblems of the golden lions. What do you think?"

"Then what do you think is the so-called elite standard?"

"The captain must be at least a major general, and all the players should be colonels, so you can be considered elite."

Capro laughed: "Your appetite is not small, Vincent. This configuration is basically no different from my guard. Okay, you want someone, I'll give it to you."

Capro is very clear that Vincent did this to add some guarantee to his cooperation. If Capulo repents or commits any behavior that betrays the Alliance, then this team will definitely be handed over to the Federation, and Vincent will have enough evidence to prove that they are Capulo’s people, and Capulo will of course also be out of it. It doesn't matter.

But Capulo is not a fool. He agreed to Vincent's request and said: "Recommendations, Mr. Vincent, should you also tell me who is the chess piece that can use the star rail gun?"

Vincent smiled and said: "The director of the Space Defense Administration and the deputy designer of the Sword of Dawn Lowesford, Marshal Caprow should be no stranger."

"It's him?" Capro was startled, nodded and said, "This chess piece is buried so deeply that even the NASA has your people. If it were him, he could control the sword of dawn. But this Come, isn't he exposed."

Vincent laughed and said: "Don't worry. When designing, Lowesford installed a back door in the Sword of Dawn system. This back door can bypass the NASA activation system and permission requirements. After use, this backdoor will disappear on its own. Lowesford is now on vacation. Who would associate him with him when you talk about it?"

"Since your plan is so detailed, then I have nothing to say, I wish you success in your plan. Besides, the person you want will be delivered in the afternoon, so let's leave."

Vincent and Warry looked at each other and smiled after watching Capulo leave in strides.

At noon, a spaceship landed at the mooring port of the Beskard family base. Allen got off the deck, and Leon in the upper cabin said loudly: "The day after tomorrow is the day of negotiation. Let's see you then. Have fun for two days, brother."

Allen smiled and nodded.

There was already a speed car waiting for him in the harbor, and Allen got on the speed car and drove to the family house. In the small square, you can see a few speed cars parked, and there seems to be visitors. Before Allen entered the building, Heising, the butler who got the news, had walked out and smiled and said, "Master Allen, you are back."

"Well, Mr. Heising, do we have any guests?"

Haising nodded and said, "Mr. Kate and his son of the Morsen family are here to visit, and Mr. Hughton is also here."

Hearing that Hughton was coming, Allen's eyes lit up immediately. When he first arrived in Babylon, Hughton was in charge of guiding him. Later, he taught him the knowledge of magic power sequence, which can be said to be his first teacher. And Hughton's granddaughter Vera also went on an expedition together with Allen, and the relationship was naturally deep. Now asked: "Where are they?"

"Mr. Kate and the master are in the study, and Mr. Hughton is in the cellar."

The wine cellar was just behind the main building, and when Allen arrived, the sun fell on the door of the wine cellar. Dust danced lightly in the sun, and it seemed so quiet. Allen couldn't help but relax his breath, as if breathing hard would disturb the silence. He pushed open the door of the wine cellar, and the door of Hughton's voice sounded: "I said Butler Heising, why are you all these young wines? Although Babylon is gone, I know if you have any on the surface. Less winery. It’s too stingy to hide good wine like this."

Alan listened to the voice, walked past a row of shelves, and saw an old man with his back to him, squatting on the ground, choosing something. While looking and complaining, the old man turned his head when he heard footsteps. When Allen walked into the sunlight of the window and saw his face clearly, Hugh was stunned.

"Ms. Hughton." Allen smiled: "Are you okay?"

Unexpectedly, Hughton stood up abruptly, rushed over, caught Ellen by the collar and said: "Asshole boy, you are finally back. Where is my Vera, did she come back? Did she have a good time on the heaven star? Ok? Has anyone bullied her? Is she in love? Damn it, I haven't seen her for a long time!"

A series of questions bombarded Alan with dizziness. He finally recovered and smiled bitterly: "Vera hasn't come back, but I guarantee that she is doing well on the heaven star. If you want, I will let Grandpa arrange it for you. , Let you go to see him on the heavenly star. Even, you can move to the heavenly star, then you don’t need to be separated from Vera.

"Really?"

"It's true."

Hughton let him go now, and laughed: "You're good at being a man, boy. I heard that after you came back, even the old guy Capulo gave him a lesson, and later told people that I was your teacher. , Then I feel more face."

"I'm so happy today, you must drink!" Hughton glanced at the bottles of good wine, licked his lips and said, "Of course it's your Beskard treat!"

"Yes, it should."

As a result, Hugh was directly drunk that afternoon. It was Alan who carried him back to the guest room, and listening to the old man's snoring sound, Alan seemed to have returned to the day he had just arrived in Babylon. When I saw Hughton, this retired federal veteran was completely drunk.

It's just that time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he is no longer the ignorant boy, and there are many more wrinkles on Hughton's face.

After exiting from the guest room, Butler Heising informed him that Horn was waiting for him in the study. When Allen came to the study, it happened that Kate and his son left. Seeing Adele's grandfather, Allen nodded in greeting: "Good afternoon, Mr. Kate."

Old Kate held Alan's hand affectionately and said, "I heard that you had a little trouble on the surface yesterday. After Adele came back, she complained that she had known that she should have carried a sniper rifle. Isn't it okay?"

Old Kate has always regarded him as an elder because of his relationship with Horn. And his concern is from the bottom of the heart, not the kind of superficiality. Allen shook his head immediately and said, "I'm concerned, it's just a small matter."

The Smith family announced the action against Leon, but did not mention the foreshadowing in the beer town, so the old Kate did not know the connection between the two things. Ellen didn’t explain either. Old Kate just treated it as a trivial matter. He let go of Ellen’s hand and said, “Go in, your grandpa is waiting, I won’t delay your time. Come to my house to play when you have time. Alan."

"I will."

After watching the old Kate and his son leave, Allen knocked on the door of the study, and he pushed in after Horn said "come in" in the door. After Horn resigned as Patriarch, he now seemed much more relaxed than before. If it was in the past, most of the time I came to the study to see him looking up documents, or working at the desk. But at this moment he was standing by the window with a cup of tea, the sun outside the window fell on his mottled hair, and the old man's body was still straight and loose, and he did not feel a bit old.

"You're back, Alan. Have you seen Mr. Hughton?" Horn turned and asked.

Allen nodded: "Teacher, he is already asleep."

"Mr. Hughton is drunk again? He misses his granddaughter so much."

"I have promised the teacher that I will send him to Paradise Star to live with Vera. But grandpa will arrange this for me."

"This is just a small matter. I will let Roddy do it later. Now grandpa is no longer the head of the family. Many things in the family are handled by your uncle Roddy. If you have any needs, you can go directly to him." Huo En sighed and said: "I wanted you to inherit this position at the beginning, which is a bit of compensation to Lanni. Unexpectedly, so many things happened afterwards, but fortunately I didn't do it. With your current achievements, a mere paternal master It's nothing."

"No~www.readwn.com~Grandpa." Allen shook his head and said, "No matter what achievements I have, I will never forget that I am Beth Kod."

"This kid" Horn laughed, beckoned, and let Allen come over and sit down. He put down the tea cup, pulled the chair and sat down and said, "Do you know what old Kate and the others are here for?"

Allen shook his head honestly.

"They want to marry us."

"Marriage?"

Horn nodded: "It's Adele. Old Kate thinks he should find a home for his most precious granddaughter. The ideal object is of course you."

Allen hurriedly said: "No, grandpa. I feel like a sister to Adele, and there is no such feeling between the two of us."

Horn laughed: "Old Kate said the same. He asked Adele and got almost exactly the same answer. So this marriage is not you, but Rainer."

"Reina?"
