This secret base was located in the middle of the mountain, and after entering from the dock, one needed to take an elevator to the center of the base. The entire process required fifteen layers of defensive armor. Judging from the defensive capabilities of the base, even the main cannon of the Nelm people would find it difficult to pierce through the base with a single cannon shot.
After walking out of the elevator, the Federation lieutenant led Roddy and the others onto the escalator and took them to the conference hall. The base was brightly lit, and people came and went. From time to time, soldiers could be seen pulling carts of strategic supplies past. The entire base was bustling with activity.
A few minutes later, Roddy arrived at his destination. After the Federation lieutenant presented Roddy's identity document, he was led into the hall by a female second lieutenant in charge of reception in the conference hall. As the meeting had yet to begin, twos and threes of people stood in various corners of the hall and whispered to each other. This scene was a bit like a social event before a noble banquet began, except that there was no wine, food, and music.
"Roddy."
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard someone greeting him. Roddy followed the voice and saw Old Kate, the head of the Morsen Clan, wearing a dark suit and a white scarf. The old man looked in good spirits. Beside him stood Wallace, the head of the Williams family, and his son, Allen's??? Friend Leon.
Roddy winked at the Black Hawk captain, who walked away with two guards. Roddy gladly walked forward and greeted Old Kate and Warren. At this moment, someone called out Wallace's name softly. The elegant middle-aged man smiled and nodded. He said goodbye to Roddy and left.
"Uncle Roddy, do you have any news of Allen?" Leon had been fighting on the surface for years, and his entire body emitted a cold murderous aura from the inside out. Even though he concealed it very well, Roddy still saw through it at a glance.
Roddy spread out his hands and said, "I only know that Allen has gone to Agares. As for the news, not to mention me, even Marshal Windsor Bellow doesn't have it."
"He went to Agares?" Leon was slightly stunned, then snorted and said, "I've already heard about him from my father. I only hate that I didn't know anything when he was trapped in the Iron Prison. Otherwise, I would have been part of the trip to the Iron Prison!"
Rody patted his shoulder and said, "It is enough that you have such thoughts. Allen would not want his best friend to take such a risk."
In the distance, Warren called out Leon's name. Beside him stood a few men and women with excellent temperaments. It seemed that they intended to introduce Leon to their friends. Leon nodded and said to Roddy, "If you have the chance to see Allen, please tell Allen for me. Even if he is the Son of Dusk, he will always be my brother. If you need my help, you must come to me, or I will beat him up. "
Then, he grinned. "Even if I can't beat him now."
Only then did he wave his hand and leave.
Rody laughed. "I am really happy for Allen to have such a friend."
"Indeed, you can have many friends, but there are definitely not many sincere friends." Old Kate winked.
Rody looked at the door and saw a group of people coming in. The leader was an old man in his sixties. He leaned on a cane and looked like an old man in his twilight years on the surface. However, his eyes were still sharp, and there was a faint smile on his lips. There was no trace of exhaustion on his face. Just from his appearance, one could tell that this old man was definitely not simple. The next two people to pay attention to were the other two. The man and woman walked on the left and right sides of the old man.
The man on the left of the old man was a middle-aged man with a bald head, a beard, and deep facial features. He pursed his lips and looked like a serious person. What was even more concerning was his posture. Regardless of which movement he made, it was filled with a strong and domineering aura. At a glance, one could tell that he was not a weak person. As for the woman, she was an ordinary person with a warm smile on her face, as if she was kind and generous to everyone. However, the faint coldness in her eyes told Rody that she would not be a simple woman.
"That's someone from the Gate of Freedom." Old Kate looked at the old man. Coincidentally, the latter's gaze also swept over. Old Kate actually bent down slightly to show her respect. Then she said, "That's Wally, the leader of the Gate of Freedom. The old man's mouth is sharp. You have to be careful when talking to him." Otherwise, you wouldn't know what was going on if he sold you. Did you see the man beside Wally? That's the commander of the Gate of Freedom, Negan. This man's strength is not bad. I heard that he came from a grassroots background. He used to serve in the army, but after he retired, he somehow found Wally. "
'"Speaking of which, Wally wanted to set up a marshal in the army of the Gate of Freedom. Of course, this position would be taken up by Negan. However, Negan's strength was only at the level of a general. If he hung up the marshal, he would inevitably be laughed at by the Federation, so he changed his title to the commander. "
"What about that woman?" Since Old Kate had opened her mouth, Rody didn't mind knowing more.
"You mean Alex? This woman has an unclear relationship with Wally and Negan. On the surface, she is the purchasing officer of the Gate of Freedom. This woman is very shrewd. I've dealt with her a few times, and I haven't made much money. "
Rody glanced at the old man and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Kate is still trading with the Gate of Freedom? I'm not afraid that the Federation will make things difficult for you. "
Old Kate chuckled and said, "If you don't do business, how can you eat? This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Could it be that the Federation can support my entire family? Our Morsen Clan is not like you big fellows. We don't have to worry about food and clothing if we just take down one or two colonial planets. Besides, of course, we won't sell strategic materials that are strictly controlled by the Federation. We just do some food business. "
Rody shrugged and said, "Who doesn't know that the Morsons are rich? You guys have a way of doing business. Unlike us, we have to risk our lives."
"Alright, when did you become so sharp-tongued?" Old Kate shook her head and asked, "Where's Mr. Horn?"
"I lost contact the night Babylon fell."
Old Kate sighed and said, "He came to me when he came back to Babylon and told me that there was a change in the Federation, and it was a big change. He told me to prepare early. It was thanks to his reminder that I left Babylon overnight. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. Your father is a very capable man. You and I both survived. I believe he will be fine. "
"Of course." Rody laughed.
