The president's office was not spacious. It was much smaller than his office on Babylon, and the furnishings in the office were extremely ordinary. Apart from a portrait of Mobius hanging on the wall, there was really nothing about it that looked like the office of the president of the Federation.
The door to the office opened, and Mobius walked in with only the secretary-general. The other secretaries had their own jobs and left. Horn and Allen were sitting on a sofa in the office. When they saw Mobius arrive, they stood up together.
"Welcome, the two of you from the Bescot family." Mobius walked over and shook hands with the two of them.
Mobius's eyes flashed with surprise as he held Allen's hand. This young man from the Bescot family had matured a lot. His bearing was like that of a dignified superior, but it was not deliberate, but natural. That meant that in the past, this young man had already been a commander of ten thousand troops. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to form such a temperament.
When Mobius let go of Allen's hand, he bowed forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Allen, it was my mistake that gave Alan an opportunity to cause you and the Bescot family so much harm. I've been waiting for this opportunity to apologize to you personally. I wonder if you can forgive me for my mistake. "
Allen was also shocked and looked at Horn. The latter shook his head, indicating that he did not know about this matter. With Mobius's identity, this apology was very sincere. Allen could only smile and say, "That's all in the past, Mr. President. Besides, compared to the current trouble, the past is nothing. "
Mobius still bowed and said, "I'm very happy to have your forgiveness."
Then he straightened his body and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the two of you are here for the civil war? I wonder what advice you two can give me. "
The few of them sat down and Horn nodded to Allen, indicating that he would preside over everything today. Mobius saw Horn's expression and was surprised. Horn was already a legend. His reputation now even surpassed that of Capullo, who had betrayed the Federation. Although the current head of the Bescot family was Roddy, in fact, Horn's influence had already surpassed that of a family head. Not only did he influence Bescot, he also influenced many families.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Horn were to make a rallying cry, many families would definitely take him as their leader. Beside Mobius, the host today was naturally Horn. However, the old man said that he had given the right to speak to the young man in front of him, Beth Cordery. Even though Allen had been the dazzling star of the family in the past, Mobius still believed that he was not qualified to do so.
So he frowned, but did not say anything. On the other side, Allen said directly, "Mr. President, the civil war in the Federation must stop, because we have no time to waste on this kind of dispute."
"The dusk of the universe has begun!"
Mobius narrowed his eyes, but he was not moved by Allen's words. He said calmly, "Mr. Allen, are you referring to yourself as the son of dusk?"
"That matter is a thing of the past. Many things have happened during my time away from Earth, including the fact that I have gotten rid of my identity as the son of dusk and the beginning of the dusk of the universe."
Mobius spread out his hands and said, "Indeed, since Mr. Horn is here with you, he must believe you. I also trust Mr. Horn, but Mr. Allen, please understand that as the president, I must have concrete evidence. "
"As for evidence, if you send an investigation team to Planet Heaven, you will know that a huge calamity has just occurred on that planet. But I don't think there's any time left. You must believe me, stop the civil war, and prepare to fight against the dusk of the universe. "Allen said solemnly.
Mobius thought for a moment and said, "Assuming everything you said is true, forgive me for asking, but how will the dusk of the universe unfold and how will we fight against it?"
Allen replied, "The dusk of the universe is spread through the hands of the son of dusk. The son of dusk can transform most of the life on the planet, or even all life, into the Burning Legion. It is an army of many combat units. They will slaughter all life on the planet. After it is over, they will move on to other planets with life. The planets will be destroyed one by one until the universe returns to silence. "
Mobius glanced at the secretary-general, who interrupted, "Mr. Allen, there are nine star domains in the universe. I really can't imagine how powerful the so-called Son of Dusk is to be able to return the entire universe to a state of deathly stillness. "
Allen sighed and said, "The ability of the son of dusk is not something you can imagine. If I hadn't come into contact with it before, I would never have believed it." However, the truth is that the Son of Dusk's method of exterminating the creatures of the universe is not simply to use force to conquer. Instead, as I said just now, he will transform all life, humans, animals, and even all aliens into the Burning Legion. "
"You can try to imagine that the dusk of the universe will start slowly, but the progress will increase day by day. When all the life in a star domain is transformed into a burning legion, the fire will spread to other star domains, and it will spread like a spark prairie fire, eventually spreading to every corner of the universe. Trust me, at that time, nothing will be lucky. "
Mobius sighed and said, "Mr. Allen, if it were just me, I would be very willing to believe what you said. But it's hard for me to convince the people with just your words. Even my people find it hard to believe, let alone Capullo and the others. "
Allen paused and said, "Then Mr. President, let me put it another way. I wonder if you are willing to stop the civil war? "
"Of course I am willing, and I have also proposed negotiations with Capullo and Light Concealment Society. But I can't accept the conditions they put forward at the negotiating table. Otherwise, why would I want to go to war? "
Allen said, "Then what are your conditions, Mr. President?"
"I can recognize the autonomy of Capullo and Light Concealment Society, but they must accept the management and supervision of the Federation and fulfill their obligations and responsibilities within the Federation. They can manage their internal territories independently, but their power cannot be higher than that of the Federation. " Mobius said in a deep voice, "This is my biggest concession. If it weren't for the current situation of the Federation, I would never have made such a weak condition." However, Capullo and the others did not even accept such conditions. They wanted to be on equal footing with the Federation, or even above the Federation. What alliance? In the end, they still want to unite to check and balance the Federation! "
Allen nodded and said, "Then this time, let me negotiate with Capullo and the others. It's best if they accept it. If they're still stubborn, then let me find a successor for them. A successor who is willing to accept the Federation's terms. "
Mobius's shoulders shook slightly. He couldn't believe Allen's words. He reminded, "That's Capullo, Wild Lion Capullo."
Allen stood up and smiled, "It doesn't matter. He can't be better than Frius, right?"
Mobius shook again!
