Roddy looked out the window at the night, and that night, the night was so dark and deep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking out the window, looking at it, the man's heart drifted back to that night a few days ago.

Since its construction, the castle has weathered hundreds of years, but it has been as quiet as this moment since its end. Roddy stood in the square in front of the castle, which used to be lit up and guests came and went. When the castle holds a banquet, it is called a lively one. The workers, cooks, guards, and families of these people who served the castle gathered together to form a small town of Lewin.

This is the splendor of the castle, the splendor of Bescord.

Now, however, the castle was dimly lit, with ten rooms and nine empty rooms. Not only the castle is like this, but even the town of Lewin is empty.

All gone.

Before Mobile could speak to the heads of the various families via video conference, Roddy dismissed the last members of Bethcord's team. All the family guards were taken by him to escort the old and weak women and children in the town of Fort away, not only the castle of Ugal, but in fact, other families also sent their family members to the surface, but they did not do it so simply and thoroughly.

The only people who remain in the castle are Roddy, Huck, Helsing the butler, and Hedrick. There are only four people left in a huge castle, and even the cigar on Roddy's mouth and the fire of the cigarette butt are full of loneliness.

Footsteps rang out at an inopportune time at this time.

Roddy frowned, but it was Horn and Anna who came in through the castle gates.

"Father?" Roddy strode up.

Horn leaned on crutches and looked at the black-lit castle and said, "Since the day our ancestors built the castle, this castle has never been so bleak. ”

Roddy sighed, "I should have consulted with you first. ”

"What are you discussing?" Horn laughed, reached out and patted Roddy on the shoulder, "You are now the head of the family, I will raise my hands in favor of whatever decision is made, you don't need to discuss anything with me." Roddy, Horn's age is over, and now is the time of your youth. You wait here, I'll go in and meet the rest of the guys, and"

"Let's do it free."

Horn strode into the main building, and moments later, exclamations and suppressed cries could be heard from the building.

Roddy grinned, jumped in front of a speeding car and sat down without any image of the head of the family, and ripped off the two twist buckles on the neckline by the way, then looked at Anna and said, "You're not going back?" ”

"The lord also told me to go back, but Murphy has moved to a complete place, and now I am needed more here." Anna put her hands around her chest, then bowed her head and said, "I am not destined to be a qualified mother. ”

Luo Di smiled and said, "I'm not a qualified father, and I haven't disciplined Reina much." But now I'm glad the kid wasn't on Earth, and I heard that he was supposed to come back, but fortunately, Fording held him down for me. ”

"Isn't Ferdining coming back?"

"He wanted to come back, but I didn't agree." Roddy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Someone has to hold a way out." ”

Anna said "um" and didn't say anything more. At this moment Horn came out of the castle, Huck and Helsing followed him, and Horn gestured to Anna: "You send them both away, Anna, and their safety will be left to you." ”

"Sir!" How could Anna not know that if she agreed, she would not want to return to Babylon.

Horn shook his head, not allowing her to refuse. Anna could only sigh and take Huck and the two away in a flying car. Roddy glanced at one of the rooms in the castle where the lights were still on, and frowned, "What about him?" ”

"I originally wanted him to leave, and completely break away from the family, and what he wants to do in the future is none of my business." Horn's expression became complicated: "But he doesn't want to go, since that's the case, I won't force him." ”

Roddy thought for a moment and said, "That guy Haydrick, after all, actually wants your father to pay more attention to him." From childhood to adulthood, no matter where he is, he has to stand in the most dazzling position. Because there, you can see him at a glance. It's just"

Horn glanced at the still lit window, then sat down on the hood of the car as Roddy usually did, and pointed at the castle with the cane that concealed the famous knife Qiuyun, and said, "When I was young, I always thought that I was doing the right thing. I am the most severe with you, because you are the eldest son, and I feel that you deserve to bear everything, and even the burden of your younger siblings must be borne by you. Therefore I am the harshest of thee, and I leave the most dangerous things to thee. Roddy, have you ever annoyed me about this? ”

Roddy smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Sometimes I do think this way, especially when I'm a kid. At that time, I was thinking that my father was biased, not to mention the little sister and the fourth child. Even the second child is better than me, so the third child is bitter and follows me together. ”

"I'm really eccentric." Horn admitted, "You are the eldest son, and the talent of the third child is more than mine. Don't look at him silently, in fact, he broke through level 30 earlier than you. ”

"Damn, I knew that kid must be hiding it." Luo Di slapped his thigh: "I said there is no reason that even I have already passed the thirtieth level, that kid is still spinning around the twenty-seventh or eighth level, and he is really deep hidden, the third child." ”

"The third child always looks unkind, but there are some things he won't say, but he will do it. This is the opposite of the fourth, the fourth" Horn suddenly spread his palm to Roddy: "Give me one." ”

Roddy pulled out a cigar with a painful look on his face and said, "This is the last one, you smoke slowly." ”

Horn couldn't help but gently tap his big head with his cane: "After becoming the head of the house, you are stingy, you bastard boy." ”

Roddy smirked.

Horn took a puff of his cigar and said with a smoke ring: "I have too many wishes for the fourth, especially after Lanny is gone, I almost put my expectations for Lanny on him." If the fourth child will come to this point today, in addition to his own twisted ambitions, I also have a responsibility. It was because I expected too much from him that he had some kind of delusion. ”

"Some kind of delusion that I am my father's favorite child"

"Father." Roddy wanted to comfort the old man, but when the words came, he didn't know how to say anything, so he could only pat him on the thigh.

Horn smiled and shook Roddy's big hand and continued, "As you know, it's Lannie who hurts me the most. Because she was the last treasure your mother left me, Lannie was not yet three years old when your mother was gone. At that time, she didn't even understand what it meant to lose her mother. Every time I saw her young face, I couldn't help but want to cry, especially when she woke up in the middle of the night crying to find her mother. But she's no longer a mother, poor child."

"But I can't cry, I can't even grieve anymore. Because I am the head of the house, I must be as hard as steel so that our enemies will not take advantage of me. So you were all afraid of me, and I always kept a straight face at that time. I can only laugh at night, when you're all asleep, when I sneak a glance at you. I have sworn more than once that I will do everything in my power to protect Lannie and protect you. But in the end, Lannie still left me, and then quietly left this world on a night that I didn't know. ”

"She's still so young, she should have lived longer, longer. When it came time to find Alan, I blamed myself more than once. If I hadn't been so proud then, if I had been willing to let go of a little bit of dignity, would it have ended differently now? But," Horn looked up at the inky sky, "it's all gone." The past, no matter how much you regret it, can't be undone. ”

"Father, don't say it." Luo Di shook the old man hard and said, "Little sister won't hate you, and so will Allen." That kid loved you from the bottom of his heart, and thought you were in trouble. I felt his sadness, his anger, I felt it clearly. With such a son, it can be seen that Lanny, as a mother, also loves you from the bottom of her heart! ”

Horn took a deep breath and nodded, "That's right, whether it's Lannie or you, or Huck, you're all my pride, forever proud." ”

Roddy trembled, and he had to desperately restrain himself to keep the surging emotions in his chest from violent. Then, an inexplicable sense of oppression fell on him.

Horn's eyes turned from warm to cold, and he snorted coldly, "Here it is." ”

Roddy looked up.

The night sky was still overcast, and the heavy lead clouds were dark except for darkness. But in the darkness, there was a faint murmuring sound. Suddenly, a little fire flickered in the darkness, and then the fire grew stronger and stronger, and finally a stream of fire broke through the clouds, streaked across the night sky, and swept diagonally into the distance.

It was a downed warplane.

More firelight lit up in the clouds, and the light of the fire dispelled the darkness. Even on the ground, you can still see the lead cloud that envelops the entire night sky, and there are constantly fires and explosions.

Suddenly, a hurricane blew through the clouds.

Luo Di's pupils contracted, and above the sea of clouds, the warships of the two sides came and went, the sky was full of light and rain, and every second there was a picture of the explosion of the flying ship, which was so faithfully reflected in Luo Di's eyes. It turned out that while they were chatting, the battle between the Nirm and the Earth Federation had already been staged in the sky. And further above that high-altitude battlefield, a shadow was expanding.

That's the Star Destroyer of the Nirms!

The Star Destroyer, which is almost as large as the whole of Babylon, is entering the interior of the planet, so there is a circle of fire around the shadow, which is the vision of the starship passing through the friction of the atmosphere, and it looks menacing, and it is completely aimed at Babylon.

The enemy and our warships engaged in life-and-death struggle in the high altitude, whether they wanted to or not, had to stay away from the orbit of the Star Destroyer. Otherwise, without the Star Destroyer firing, the propulsive air flow alone would be enough to make the battleship fall out of control. At this time, all the weapon platforms on Babylon had entered the charging stage, and the rising energy aura was so huge that even ordinary people could feel it.

Of course, there are no civilians in Babylon now, and what is still left is not the army, or the strong men of the major families!
