Chapter 1741: Signs of Dusk
In a not-so-bright hall, a screen hangs from the dome of the hall. The screen was showing a real-time feed from the Federal Satellite Fleet, showing Norman City. From above, Norman City is now in chaos, the streets of the city are crowded with people, and hundreds of thousands of civilians pour into the streets like a swarm of marching ants. They burned the cars, and black smoke rose from the city. They began to pour towards the city center, where the officials of the Light Hidden Society had gathered soldiers to cordon off several blocks, and civilians and troops could be seen clashes, with occasional fires erupting.
Norman City is now in disarray, and while it doesn't fall into anarchy, the remnants of the Hidden Order will have a hard time cleaning up the mess.
"Alan, this guy did it on purpose." Sitting in a chair, Windsor Belo stripped off her military uniform and wore only a loose one-piece nightdress. She sat cross-legged in a chair in a casual position, two smooth calves sticking out of her skirt, and the curve alone was enough to turn a man into a mad beast. She also held a wine bottle in her hand, her hair was casually draped, and she looked like a little woman who nestled in her own home and enjoyed life.
Two ponytails of different colors, one gray and one black, were blown by the wind and swept into Windsor Belo's line of sight, and the greedy wolf looked over, and his gaze fell on another petite figure: "This is the same as on Moso, isn't it, Catherine?" ”
Sitting not far from Windsor Belo was Catherine, who was supposed to stay in the Garden of Eden. But this young federal admiral is now with Windsor Bello. Catherine wears a new uniform custom-made for her by the Federation, which has the same black background as the Death Spread, but the emblem is replaced by a golden scythe, symbolizing Catherine's title of Grim Reaper.
The corners of Catherine's mouth pulled up a slight arc: "The remnants of the Light Hidden Society are bound to be unable to clean up the mess, so their results can be imagined, they have no other way to go except to accept the conditions of the Federation." Because Eren had told them clearly, even if they tied civilians together, it would be useless. And Vincent just despised the tough determination of a supreme to end up like this. ”
"Supreme ......," Catherine muttered, "has that guy back then, who even I could easily suppress him, now become such a dazzling existence in the blink of an eye?" ”
Windsor Belo let out a burst of high-pitched laughter: "I didn't expect my sister to teach a supreme being, which will go down in history forever." The supreme teacher, it sounds like a lot of face. ”
Catherine rolled her eyes.
After laughing, Windsor Bello took a sip of wine. Putting the bottle down, she sat up straight, scratched her head, and said, "Hey, you're really not going to tell him?" ”
"I've said it a hundred times."
"How can I say that he is also a Supreme ...... now"
"So what?" Catherine shook her head and said, "Cosmic Twilight is more important than me, and I don't want to distract him." ”
"Really, maybe there is a life in Agareth that is similar to that of Mother Earth?"
Catherine said softly, "Even the heart core of Mother Earth may not be able to solve my problems, so why let him waste his time for me." ”
Windsor Belo said angrily: "You are also his woman, it is a matter of course to protect your own woman, how can you say that it is a waste of time." What's more, I know very well that he is the person, if you let him know about your situation, he will definitely not sit idly by. ”
"I know that, but that's why I don't want to tell him." Catherine smiled: "Sister Marshal, we have discussed this matter many times, so there is no need to argue anymore. The things you prepared for me should be usable, right? ”
Windsor Bello sighed, jumped out of his chair and said, "Wait a minute." ”
She left the hall and returned a few minutes later, already in her uniform. The military hat was buckled diagonally on his head, and Sirius's insignia seemed a little dim today, and Windsor Belo beckoned, "Come with me." ”
The two of them left the hall and walked down the long passageway. Eventually, they stopped in front of an automatic door. As soon as the door opened, someone inside was adjusting the equipment, and a man who looked like a supervisor walked over and saluted Windsor Belo. Greedy Wolf asked, "How are things prepared?" ”
The director raised his glasses and said, "According to your orders, the cryostat is ready." Judging from the data we have collected so far, it is exactly what you are looking for, and all biological activity can be brought to a near-static state. ”
Windsor Belo looked at the girl next to him: "Think clearly, if you lie down this time, you may never have a chance to wake up." ”
"I've been preparing for this moment for a long time, and it's okay. The Wind of Yellow Springs has also been handed over to General Russon, and there will be no more enemies in our territory on Eden anytime soon. ”
"You're well prepared, except that you didn't say goodbye to him."
Catherine laughed, "You don't know, I can't meet him, or he will go out of his way to hunt the Mother Earth." He doesn't have that much time now, so let's talk about it later. If Cosmic Twilight can stop it, you can tell him then. ”
Windsor Belo spread out his hands: "Then listen to you." ”
Catherine was led by an assistant to the dressing room, which had a bathroom. Catherine walked over, which was used for cleaning and disinfecting, and after taking off her uniform one by one, and finally taking off her underwear, she went into the bathroom naked. Pressing a button, countless lines of water erupted from all sides of the bathroom, landing on her body. She closed her eyes and untied her hair, allowing the gray and black hair to mix together.
The water ran down her face to her neck, and from her neck to her delicate collarbones, then to her white chest, and to the two faint reds like plum blossoms. Further down, a blue spot appeared on the lower abdomen, which was obviously not a simple bruise, this blue spot exuded the breath of death. Bruises like this, from Catherine's chest down, were distributed in different parts of her body, large and small.
Jean's body, which was originally an infinite reverie, now looks like a corpse.
By the time Catherine came out of the locker room, she had changed into a close-fitting protective suit. The assistant led her to a cryopod, which opened to reveal a blue liquid. Catherine walked barefoot into the freezer and burrowed into the liquid. She folded her hands over her chest and was about to lie down. Windsor Bello, who was next to him, suddenly said: "He doesn't have time, I have." It's a big deal, my sister will take a trip to the Frost Star and get the heart core of Mother Earth back for you. ”
Catherine laughed, "You don't have to do this for me, besides, the heart core may not be useful." ”
"Whether it's useful or not, take it back and talk about it. That's it, what my sister decides, no one can stop it. You're going to get some sleep first. ”
Catherine didn't say anything more, smiled and closed her eyes, and when she lay down, her whole body was already immersed in the blue liquid. She looked as if she had fallen asleep, and the cabin began to close. After the closure, the signal lights on it lit up one by one, and on the brain screen next to it, it showed that Catherine's life activities were slowing down, and finally almost stopped.
Windsor Bello was visibly in a bad mood, and she said to the supervisor, "Inform me that the matter concerning General Catherine must be kept secret. Whoever dares to talk too much, don't blame me for being rude. ”
The supervisor, who had never seen Windsor Belo like this, nodded hurriedly.
The greedy wolf glanced at the freezer again before turning to leave.
The next day, a flying ship with the Bethcord logo landed in front of the new White House in Caesars City, and when he visited the new city of the Federation again, Allen's mood was completely different from the last time. This time he was with Roddy, and Horn and Ferding went to visit Anna. The secretary general of Mobile had been waiting for a long time in front of the White House mooring, and when he saw Allen and the two of them walking off the deck, he hurriedly greeted them, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome two, Mr. President is already waiting for two in the conference room." ”
He followed the secretary to the conference room, pushed the door open, and the room was already full of federal ministers and dignitaries. Windsor Bello was among them, the marshal with her head down, the brim of her military hat blocking half of her face, and she didn't know if she was asleep. Alan and Roddy parted, and he walked straight to Windsor Belo and sat down next to Greedy Wolf. Only then did Windsor Belo look up: "You're late." ”
Alan shrugged and said, "The Federation suddenly notified us this morning, so we didn't do much preparation. Teacher, do you know what's going on? ”
"It seems like Kapro is coming."
As soon as he said that, a group of people walked in from the entrance of the conference room. Sure enough, it was Kapro who walked in front, and next to him was Warry of the Gate of Freedom. In addition, it is the entourage of the two officials. The officers walked to the other corner of the chamber, where there were seats assigned to them. Capro and Warry made their way to the round table in the middle and sat down with Mobile. The Federal President stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started." ”
"I'm going to announce a few big things to you today, but because another thing happened, I'll just briefly explain them."
Mobile looked at Allen and nodded, "First of all, because of Mr. Allen's blow yesterday, Vincent has been torn apart by the angry people. Norman City officials have signed a joint petition for federal intervention and have acceded to our request. Secondly, the Golden Lion and the Gate of Liberty have also signed the Agreement of the Common Alliance of the Earth and are now allies of the Federation. ”
There was applause in the chamber, but there was no smile on Kapro and Warry's faces. Although the agreement was ostensibly a common alliance, it was in fact just a way for the Federation to take care of their face. In fact, both the Golden Lion and the Gate of Liberty will be under the control of the Federation, and nominally both sides will still be dominated by Capro and Warry, but some important executive positions on both sides will be selected by the Federation.
But in the aftermath of the Norman City riots, both Caprow and Warry acquiesced to the agreement.
"Then the next thing is the most important thing." Mobile said in a deep voice: "According to the information provided by Mr. Kapro, there are already signs of cosmic twilight on Earth, and it is within the territory of the Golden Lion!" ”
