Kashni home planet, Capitol.

The Houses of Parliament is a 233-meter-long, three-story building made of white marble, with a prominent three-story dome on the central top floor, on which a 6-meter-high bronze statue of Lady Liberty stands.

Because the Kashny civilization was directly inherited from the Terra civilization, the Classical Revival flourished in the Federation, and the Capitol Building is a typical example of Terra revivalism; it imitates the architecture of Terra, and strives to express the majesty, emphasizing the monumentality, and is a representative work of the Classical Revival style architecture.

In fact, the real Capitol has already been destroyed in the war.

The current building is a 1:1 restoration of the Mechanical Empire's 1:1 restoration using the wreckage of the Capitol.

All kinds of details are imitated very well, and even the historical sense of the Capitol that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain has been restored exactly.

At the top of the Capitol Building, the meeting hall has floor-to-ceiling arched windows on three sides that offer expansive vistas and a glass curtain wall due south over Hughes Lake.

The calm surface of the lake, the quiet clouds, and the ebb and flow of waterfowl are all vivid.

The hall that could accommodate thousands of people was crowded with adventurers at this time, and Keidan and the others sat awkwardly on the main seat, looking at the bustling guest seats crowded with warriors, and felt a sense of restlessness.

Herder and Kahn, on the other hand, stood on the second floor of the Capitol building, observing the scene of the conference room through mirror magic.

"It looks like the image project of the maker is doing a good job. Looking at the packed conference hall, Karn sighed with some surprise: "If it weren't for the adventurer's belief that he had the sincerity to reconcile, he wouldn't have come at all." ”

"The adventurers here are just a small group, and they are the ones who trust the makers the most. Herder paid attention to the movement of the conference hall, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile: "Those adventurers who don't trust him have been arranged by me near the capital...... As soon as there is any movement here, they will immediately come to their aid. ”

"Whoever the makers are aiming for, it's destined to be a farce. Karn replied lightly.

This time, how will the maker's stupid trick end, they are here waiting to see the show.

However, I waited all day.

As the sky approached dusk, the calm Hughes Lake rippled, the sun turned red, and waves of heat hit.

The red rays of the setting sun shone on the floor of the conference room, reflecting a faint golden red.

The negotiations between Keidan and the adventurers went smoothly, and there were no attacks from the mechanical legions or anything else out of the ordinary.

"Strange...... Did he give up?" said Herder, who had come to an end of the meeting, and gradually became unsettled.

"Hasn't the Mech Legion regrouped, why hasn't it arrived yet?" Karn quickly reminded.

"An hour ago, the Mechanical Legion had already assembled, and was ......heading here," as he spoke, Herder condensed another suspended mirror, through which he could see that the number of mechanical legions that seemed to be full of stars was rapidly crossing the universe.

"If the Mech Legion's targets are indeed the Kashni home planet, they should be almost there by now. ”

Karn let go of his senses and scanned the starry sky around Kashni's home planet, finding no trace of the Mechanical Legion: "However, I didn't find them...... That's not where they're targeting!"

"Why is this happening?"

Herder furrowed his brows, looked at Karn in surprise, and blurted out, "Could it be that the Maker is not targeting us or the adventurers?"

"Who could that be?"

Karn looked at her fluttering pupils, suddenly sensed something, and let go of the perception to scan the Kashni home planet again, and his expression instantly became solemn: "Oh no! Prey's is leaving the Kashni home planet, it's too fast, we can't stop it...... The direction seems to be the Northern Star Field!"

"Northern Star Field?"

Herder hurriedly retracted his gaze, touched the mirror with his hand, and his dark golden pupils suddenly spread: "Not good! The target of the mechanical legion seems to be the Northern Star Domain as well!"

"Why is this happening? Why did the Maker enter the Northern Star Field, and what is there!?"

Because the situation was so unexpected, she was so confused for a while that she couldn't think of the meaning of the Maker's military dispatch to the Northern Star Domain.

Sensing the aura of the Heavenly Apostle getting farther and farther away, Karn's eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety, and he said in a deep voice: "We follow Prey! No matter what the purpose of the maker is, as long as you follow Prey, you will definitely find him!"

"No, what if it's a maker's ploy?"

Herder shook his head and rejected his offer: "If both the Mech Legion and Prey are just decoys, we will lose the initiative if we leave the Kashny home planet...... You may even be ambushed!"

"Then I'll go alone!?"

"No!" Herder refused again, his flustered pupils gradually calmed down: "We can't be separated, once we are alone, we may suffer targeted attacks from the mechanical legion!"

"So what are we going to do next? Are we just waiting?"

"Yes! We'll just wait, keep an eye on the Mechs, but never leave Kashni. ”

Herder nodded, and said calmly: "It's a big deal to do nothing, watch the maker and the adventurer reconcile...... We don't have anything to lose anyway. ”

"Perhaps, that's what he's for?" Karn shook his head a little confused, feeling that things wouldn't be that simple.

......

Just as the two apostles were drawn attention by Prey's departure and kept a close eye on the Mechic Legion, the drive buried inside Kashni's home planet quietly kicked in, pushing the planet out of its original orbit.

In the process of moving rapidly, the Kashni home planet, which has the most advanced defense system, did not produce any movement.

Xiao Xi has full control over the meteorological equipment of the entire planet, precisely regulating the geological movement and meteorological changes of the Kashni home star, so that it is maintained at the original level.

Even the atmosphere is covered in mimicry images, making the entire starry sky look like it's the same starry sky.

Everything is in full swing, and no one knows that the planet is deviating from its original trajectory.

Karn and Herder might have been able to detect it if they were in normal shape, but their energy was now focused on Prey and the Mech Legion. Even if he still has the strength to pay attention to the adventurer of Arad, he can't imagine that Ivan's real target is the Kashni home planet.

After the Kashni parent star moved away from orbit, the space-time rift in the shelter suddenly opened, and another Kashni mother star slowly floated out of it.

This planet comes from other parallel universes, and it can be said that it is completely the real Kashni home planet, except that it has not survived war.

With the help of the shelter, the planet replaced the previous Kashni star and orbited the star.

At the same time, the location of the Temple of Eternity has also shifted to the surface of the fake Kashni home planet as the positions of the two planets are exchanged.

In this way, a trick of stealing beams and changing pillars is completed.

......

Just as Karn and Herder continued to pay attention to the Mechic Legion and had no time to discover the truth, a space-time wormhole suddenly twisted into the conference hall, and Evan's figure then walked out of it.

Seeing him suddenly appear, everyone, including Karnheld, became agitated.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Ivan walked up to the rostrum alone and walked to the side of Kidan and the others:

"All the contracts have been signed and the meeting is now coming to an end, so I have something to announce to you. This is no secret to many people - from now on, I will break with Karn and Herder once and for all. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar on the adventurer's side.

In fact, from the time when Herder secretly communicated with them, they knew that the apostles would turn their faces sooner or later, but they didn't expect the break to be so fast.

And it was announced on the spot at such a meeting.

"As for why. ”

Evan picked up the microphone in front of Kidan and said in an extremely angry tone, "That's because I found out that Herder has been sabotaging the Warrior Alliance! In order to prevent me from reaching a reconciliation with the adventurer, she even did not hesitate to secretly spread rumors and slander me for the massacre of adventurers on the home planet of Kashni. ”

"What are you talking about, aren't you the one who asked me to help you get rid of the adventurers?" Herder's questioning flashed onto the rostrum as she and Karn figured out.

"Joke! Like you never trusted me, I will trust you?" Ivan stared at her face, lying without blinking, "How stupid do I have to be to entrust you, an enemy, to help me get rid of the adventurer?"

"There is no proof of this matter, you can not admit it. Herder scoffed and shook his head contemptuously.

"Yes. ”

Evan casually activated the interstellar navigation map and displayed the mechanical legion located in the northern star field in front of everyone:

"I believe that your eyes are bright, and in order to show my sincerity, I have transferred almost all of my legions to the Northern Star Domain. If I have ill will towards you, why would I have to move the entire Mechanical Legion so far away in advance?

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Herder and looked at her calmly:

"Herder, your mirror magic is very powerful, why don't you give the warriors a live broadcast of the appearance of the mechanical legion?"

“......”

Helde didn't use mirror magic, nor did he deny it, acquiescing to his claims.

Because at this moment, the mechanical legion is assembled in the northern star field, which is an ironclad fact...... In front of Evan, she couldn't play tricks like blindfolding.

"If you don't speak, you acquiesce. ”

Evan was satisfied with her speechless expression, and the smile on his face became a little thicker: "In other words, the fact that I want to slaughter adventurers is logically completely untenable. So you're just spreading rumors! You have bad intentions, you're trying to sow distrust between the Machine Empire and the adventurers, in a vain attempt to ruin this historic peace talks. ”

"You !!"

Herder gritted his silver teeth in anger, but he couldn't refute it, because all the adventurers were angry with her in advance, and the crime of spreading rumors and slander was completely real.

Finished.

It's all over.

Under the careful operation of the maker, her charges of spreading rumors and slandering and sabotaging the peace talks were completely established in the hearts of adventurers......

For a long time, it was impossible for an adventurer to trust her again.

This also means that her plan to deal with Ivan by borrowing the hands of adventurers has been completely bankrupt.

But is this the only way to trap him?

The cunning and thoughtful maker...... If you don't have a sure look, you will never make a move.

He definitely has a plan for the next step!

"You've been designing me from the beginning, what the hell are you up to?" Heard looked at the mysterious smile on Evan's lips, and his heart became more and more unpredictable.

"At this point, we don't have much more to say. ”

Karn stared at Evan's eyes, the pupils of his eyes oozed a red glow like blood, and translucent distorted fluctuations appeared on the surface of his body: "It doesn't matter if you break up, you alone can't kill us now." ”
