Chapter 1209: Fate
At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear, and the sun fell like a golden satin on everything on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a vigorous step, Thurway stepped out of the balcony of the marshal's apartment, and after a sloping downward stage, he saw Capro swimming in the pool. This is the top floor of the command building of King's Landing Fortress on Eden. On the day the alien army invaded the Rudson Domain, the Federation's King's Landing Fortress in the Garden of Eden was occupied, and after the Golden Lion recaptured it, he devoted himself to the reconstruction of the fortress.
Now that the King's Landing Fortress has been basically rebuilt, in order to facilitate the work, Karp has simply installed his residence on top of the command building.
Hearing the sound of footsteps above, Kapro surfaced, he was no longer young, but the muscles of his body still showed no signs of relaxation, and he couldn't find half of the fat on his body. Still maintaining clear muscle lines, except for gray hair and a few more wrinkles on his face, Kapro looks not much different from a man in the prime of life. In fact, Thurway knew that a strong man like Capro, if he wanted to, could even rejuvenate himself by speeding up the metabolism of his cells. It's just that the marshal doesn't seem to pay much attention to appearance.
"Morning, Seway. The weather is nice today, why don't you come down and swim together? Kapro beckoned.
Thurway smiled and shook his head: "Your kindness is appreciated. ”
After politely refusing, the adjutant said: "I have already done what you ordered yesterday, marshal, you can set off at any time." ”
Capro left the pool, wiped the water on his body with a towel, and said, "Don't you wonder why Mr. President summoned me back in such a hurry?" ”
Seway said, "If it is necessary to tell me, you will naturally say it, marshal." If I didn't need to know, it wouldn't help me ask. ”
"You're still the same, you do things with a clear look, do those boys shout poker faces behind your back." Kapro looked up at the bright sun in the sky and said, "The weather here is really good, but it's bad on the other side of the earth." Did you know, Thurway, Horn could be dead. ”
"What?" Seway looked shocked: "Mr. Horn? How is this possible......"
"I can't believe it, but judging by the information sent to me by His Excellency the President, there is little chance that I should survive. It's a pity, the people who made me look good back then have all left one by one, and now even Horn is gone, and I feel like I've left the times behind. Capro re-grabbed a clean towel around his waist, sat down on a beach chair, picked up a cigar from the table next to him, and smoked it. He spat out a smoke ring and said, "There is something more serious, Mr. President seems to have conducted some kind of secret experiment with the boys of the Bethcord family, but the matter has been exposed, and now the three great families of Babylon, together with the big and small nobles, have asked for an explanation from Mobit." If there are no surprises, they will start a series of negotiations with the Federation in the near future. If they can't talk, I'm afraid the nobility and the federation will be dismantled. ”
Seway could no longer stay calm, and the good mood of the morning was gone. It's not a matter of a day or two that the Federation and the nobles are secretly competing, but they still maintain a superficial relationship. Even if the relationship deteriorates, there will be a buffer period, and it should never ferment as quickly as it does now, and then heat up to the point of being out of control.
"Marshal, who is that boy from the Beth Kod family?" Seway asked.
"The little guy who won the first place in military merit." Capro puffed out a puff of cigarette: "That's right, Alan. Bethcord. Mobile quietly takes him to the Iron Prison, but Horn somehow learns about it. Old Horn looks hard-hearted on the surface, but in fact, he values his family very much, and Mobit's doing this is undoubtedly stepping on his bottom line. So Horn went to the Iron Prison, which eventually caused a devastating explosion in the Iron Prison, where he himself was broken. ”
"But you have to admire Horn, even if Mobit reveals his reverse scales, he still cares about the big picture. chose to hand over the position of patriarch to his son, and even removed his name from the family. For what? And not to avoid a full-scale war between the nobility and the Confederation. Kapro sneered: "It's a pity that this time Mobit stretched his hand too long after all, and somehow the confidential video in the iron prison was leaked out like this, so that even if the nobles wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, they couldn't do it." Mobile's hand can be regarded as forcing himself into a corner. ”
"Mr. Horn's heart is truly admirable." Seway said sincerely, and said, "Then the president recalled you this time to deal with the conflict with the nobles?" ”
Kapro snorted: "It's not the first time that Mr. President has asked us to wipe his butt, and you can see that he deliberately put himself in a neutral position in order to contain us with the new party. Now, the situation is not right, and they are going to turn to us, not because they fancy our deep heritage. Among us, many of us have a lot of relationships with aristocratic and wealthy families. But no matter what the advantage is, let him take advantage of it, he asked me to go back, of course I want to go back. Otherwise, the Federation will be torn apart. ”
"But force alone is not enough to solve this matter, and the root cause is that Mobile himself poked a hornet's nest." Kapro narrowed his eyes and said, "He must be responsible for this matter to the end, and I think the best outcome is to resign with guilt, so that the nobles can go down the stairs." Anyway, Mobile's term is coming to an end, and it's cheaper for him. ”
"So ...... the new president?"
Kapro shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look again, if no one is up to the task, it's better for me to be in charge." ”
He laughed, but Seway didn't dare to answer, and the adjutant couldn't tell if the marshal's words were a joke or serious?
"Let's go, have breakfast. After breakfast, it's time for me to go. Mobile extinguished the remaining cigar with his hand, stood up, patted the adjutant on the shoulder, and said, "After I'm gone, I'll have you to keep an eye on it here." If there's anything that can't be solved, go to the old fellow Russon, and he'll help. ”
"I know below."
On this day, Marshal Capro left the Garden of Eden with a fleet. And on the planet, the events triggered by the federal president continue to ferment. In a secret space, five beams of light lit up one after another, and in each beam appeared a figure, a man and a woman, but each wearing a mask on their face. The six-member council of the Light Hidden Society reconvened, except for the permanent absence of the priest in the black and white clown mask, so there were only five members left in the caucus.
After a moment of silence, the masked K said in a deep voice: "Whether you admit it or not, you can't change a fact. Ladies and gentlemen, Alain is out of our grasp. What he did in the Iron Prison was made worse by our choice to stand idly by. Now, if you still think that you should continue to observe Alain and not sanction and ban it, then I don't think there is any need for this organization to exist, because it is not working as it should! ”
Several people looked at each other.
The clown coughed dryly and said, "K, I'll admit that I did make some mistakes in judgment before. But who would have thought that Bethcord Sr. Horn would be desperate to rob the prison, and who would have thought that the classified documents of the Iron Prison would be leaked. All I can say is that there were too many coincidences that made this happen. Of course, it doesn't help to talk about that now. You're right, Alain is out of control, and we must secretly ban him and continue to take over the presidency with a new stand-in. ”
"I guess I don't have to vote on this decision, right?" The clown looked at the crowd.
No one objected, he nodded and said, "Then we will immediately send Miss Su Qing to clean up Alan first......
Suddenly, the image of A in the corner became blurry, and the clown was startled and said loudly, "What happened?" ”
The voice of the woman who had gone with the priest to assassinate Mobile was both shocked and angry: "I was attacked, damn ......", and suddenly her image disappeared, leaving only the pillar of light still in place. She left so suddenly that the rest of the group didn't react for a moment. Or K was the first to ask, "Does anyone know where A lives?" ”
"How is it possible, our identity and abode are known only to ourselves, and no one should know where we live." So said the woman in the mask.
The clown suddenly said, "No, someone knows. ”
K looked at him as if he had thought of something, and then the two of them said a name at the same time: "Alain!" ”
"Damn, no matter what Alain's true identity is, he is the supreme power of the Federation after all, even if it's just on the surface. But he already has enough power to call on the power of the Federation to investigate us, he is a member of our organization, and it is not impossible to find us. The clown hurriedly said, "Everyone, today's meeting can only end here, and we can't hold meetings in this way anymore." Ladies and gentlemen, we must meet, wherever you are, and in ten days' time, please come to the Doom Bunker. If Alain uses the power of the Federation to bite us back, the situation will become extremely serious. Maybe the Light Hidden Society will no longer be able to stay in the shadows, and we will have to use our pawns to clean up this traitor. ”
The clown glanced at K again, and the figure disappeared into the pillar of light.
One by one, everyone else disappeared, and K was no exception.
On Babylon, Alste takes off his sensing helmet. The room was dim, it was late at night, and the floating island was hazy and quiet at night when viewed from the window. Alstai sighed and said, "I think I've messed up, old friend." It seems that I shouldn't have let you go, but not only did it cost you your life, but it also made the whole situation worse. If the light is about to leave the shadows, the nobles will fall out with the Federation again. Then next, I'm afraid it's a full-scale civil war for mankind. ”
"Tell me, what am I going to do?" Alstair sighed, held his head and said: "I can't think of any way to prevent this ending from coming, power and war, is it the fate that we humans are destined to be unavoidable?" ”
