[Thank you, Rainy Season Comes Again, Du Shaoyun, tk 474380, qbb0712, Light Blue Wind, Su in the Flames of War, and other brothers for their monthly tickets! Thank you!]
The castle's conference hall was filled with the aroma of ale, barbecue, and fruit. After the battle, not only did people need to rest, but they also needed food to fill their stomachs, so Ante prepared plenty of food for the people in the hall. However, it was clear that their minds were not on the delicious ale brewed by the castle brewers, or the roasted steaks that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Juicy steaks.
There was a heated discussion going on in the hall.
"This is too strange. Can anyone tell me what's going on with the rain of light?" The old general, Salon, said in his loud voice, "Heavens, they're really powerful, and they don't look like the abilities of any of the Ten Saints." If there was a mysterious expert to help me, I would be happy, but it doesn't look like it. After all, I don't know any expert who can use such a powerful ability or battle skill without revealing any aura at all! "
Midian stood by the window. It was already evening, and the setting sun cast a corner of the windowsill, making his silver hair shine with golden light. He whispered, "As far as I know, none of the Ten Saints will use that kind of ability or battle skill. The rain of light looks so cold and heartless that I can't feel the taste inside at all. They are more like swords, like emotionless weapons that specialize in killing. "
"It would be even stranger if it was a weapon." Hoey shook his head. "The empire shouldn't have such a powerful weapon, right? Or did those mysterious fellows from the Ruins Investigation Team discover another relic creation? "
"That's not very likely." Julian continued, "When I was in Dawn Castle, I was also quite interested in the affairs of the investigation team. I once collected the reports and information they produced. But I haven't seen any similar weapons in those materials. "
Listening to the discussions in the hall, Allen remained silent. However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed. Those rain of light, those destructive beams of light. Julian and the others didn't know what it was, but Allen knew very well that it was high-energy cannon fire! Such concentrated firepower was something that could only be organized by a small fleet. Given that those beams of light had landed on the alien positions, it could be imagined that the starship fleet hidden in the sky at that time was either from the Federation or owned by the people of Adahua Planet.
However, what Allen couldn't understand was why the Federation or the people of Adahua Planet would come to Planet Heaven at this time and interfere in the war between the natives of the planet.
Just like the light rain that Salon and the others were discussing, there was no definite answer to this question.
Only when night fell did the people in the hall disperse.
Allen returned to his residence. The dining table was already filled with delicious dinner, and it was filled with people. They were all Allen's subordinates and friends. Lucy and Lola distributed knives and utensils to everyone like hostesses, while Adele, as usual, used her venomous tongue to provoke Regis's anger. Belmore smiled and patiently taught Bai how to use knives and forks, while Hubble argued that there was obviously not enough wine tonight. As for William, he had already drunk with Broy and Roy. Only Father Miro insisted on not drinking at all, but he ruthlessly told Vera the fact that there was wine hidden in the priest's bedroom.
Looking at this red face under the lights, Allen suddenly felt that it was a rare blessing for everyone to be able to gather together after so many things had happened.
Then people discovered him, and Allen took his seat amidst the cheers.
He found that Edward was not seated.
Lucy told him that the dragon had called him back. It seemed that there were matters at Dawn Castle that needed Edward to take care of. Moreover, Edward had also said that he had no right to interfere in this kind of war. Instead of staying here and staring, it was better to go back to the territory and do something real.
"He's also a fellow who can't stay still." Allen sighed, then raised his glass and said, "Let's toast. This toast is for us to be alive."
After drinking a few glasses of ale, everyone seemed to have something on their minds. Allen said unhappily, "You want to ask what happened to the rain of light during the day, right? Well, that's right. I think you should have guessed it. It's not the ability of any mysterious expert, nor is it the secret weapon of the empire. I'll bet that it's just high-energy cannon fire. "
Hubble slapped the table and almost knocked it down. Gatu said in a low voice, "Am I right? Apart from high-energy beams of light, there's nothing else that can hit with such precision?"
"You can be louder. It's best if the people in the castle hear you. Then they'll ask you, Mr. Hubble, what is a high-energy beam of light?" Adele rolled her eyes.
Hubble blushed and finally gave up on arguing with Adele. He just kept drinking. It seemed that he had also asked the girl for advice on how to talk, and he had suffered a lot.
"If it's a high-energy beam of light, it means that forces outside the planet have intervened in today's war," Belmore, who was sitting opposite him, said with a slightly solemn tone. "Young Master Allen, do you think it's the Earth Federation or His Highness Lucy's compatriots who did it?"
"About this, I guess the answer will appear on its own soon." Allen blinked and said, "Before that, I suggest you don't think about these annoying things. It's rare for everyone to get together today. Wouldn't it be better to drink to your heart's content? "
"Right, right, right. Why do you care so much? Anyway, it's not our enemy." Hubble held a wine bottle, removed the cork, and poured it into his mouth.
Looking at him drinking, Adele shook her head and said, "You'll be the first Catus to die of drunkenness."
The feast lasted until late at night. When everyone was full of wine and food, a soldier knocked on the door of Allen's residence. Lucy answered the door, and a moment later, the girl came back and whispered in Allen's ear, "Someone wants to see you, and let the soldiers carry the name of Bescot."
Allen narrowed his eyes and whispered, "The answer has come to me."
He left his seat and personally told the soldiers to bring him to the study. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the study. Allen was looking out of the window at the barracks under the night sky when he heard the voice and said, "Come in." The door opened and someone walked in. He was wearing a dark-colored cloak that hid everything except his face. To Allen's surprise, this was a face younger than his. The other party had soft black hair and light blue pupils like the clear sky.
Allen waved his hand and told the soldier to close the door and leave. After the door closed, Allen asked, "Who are you, sir?"
"Sylfa." The young man said softly. His voice was like the midsummer night breeze, gentle and gentle, "Mr. Allen, I'm from the Federation, the commander of the Black Wing Legion."
Allen was mentally prepared, but his entire body trembled when he heard this answer. He said in a low voice, "Black Wing, one of the Federation's trump cards? Then you're a general? "
"You're right." Sylfa nodded. He didn't look like a general of the Federation at all. Instead, he looked like a shy boy next door. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "This is the first time we've met. I hope you won't blame me for coming uninvited."
"I can't blame you. I'm just a little surprised. Also, I have to thank General Sylfa for his help during the day. "
Sylfa shook his head and said, "According to the rules, I'm not allowed to interfere in the war between planets, especially when this planet is being developed as a colonial planet by several large families. But Mr. Allen was on the battlefield at the time, and I was afraid that the war would affect our meeting, so I took the initiative to intervene. I apologize if it will cause trouble for the development of Bescot in the future. "
"Oh, from what the general said, you came for me?" Allen was surprised. "What made a general of the Federation come to Planet Paradise to find me?"
"It's a big matter that concerns the entire Federation, and even the future of all mankind..." Sylfa said apologetically. "Because of my authority, it's not convenient for me to reveal too much to Mr. Allen. Now, I just want you to promise me one thing. Mr. President hopes that you can go back with me immediately. That matter needs to be confirmed with Mr. Allen in person. "
"You want me to go back immediately?" Allen frowned. "How is that possible? As you can see, I still have a war to fight. Besides, you're not even willing to reveal what it is. How can I go with you? "
Sylfa sighed softly. "It's normal for Mr. Allen to have such a reaction. In fact, if it were me, I would also be quite dissatisfied. But please believe me, this matter is very important, and it's not convenient for me to reveal too much here. I can only tell you that Mr. President is not willing to give in on this matter. If Mr. Allen refuses, I will bring you back even if I have to use force. Even so, it will arouse Bescot's dissatisfaction. But compared to that matter, this dissatisfaction is nothing. "
"This is not a threat, but a statement of my attitude. And I hope you can see my sincerity. I know very well that Mr. Allen did not come easily to establish his current position and power on this planet, so I could have landed the fleet forcefully this morning and taken you away. But that would have exposed Mr. Allen's identity, and all his previous efforts would have been in vain. That's why I chose a more covert method of meeting. If that's not enough to make Mr. Allen trust me, then unfortunately, due to the lack of time, I'm afraid I can only use some methods that you won't like to see. "
Allen shook his head and smiled. "If that's not a threat, what is? You'd better have an answer that satisfies me. Otherwise, not only me, but my family will also pursue this matter to the end. "
"Then what do you mean?"
"Of course I'm going with you. Do you have a choice? Oh, I do, but that probably doesn't make a difference. " Allen said in a deep voice, "But you have to give me some time. I have to arrange things after I leave before I can leave with you."
"Of course, but please understand that I can only give you two days at most," Sylfa said softly.
