Three days later, a small airship landed on the tarmac of Castle Ugarte. The Hawk-type frigate was painted with the symbol of mist and fire, but it was Koba who had brought the mercenaries hired by Allen.
Allen was notified in advance and waited on the tarmac with his core team early in the morning. Allen was flanked by Regis and Lucy, and behind him were William and Broy, who had returned from the surface. Today would be the day when the old and new members gathered. Broy was expressionless, while William was looking forward to it and even wanted to compete with the newcomers.
The airship docked and the deck descended. Koba came out of the cabin door first. He laughed loudly and said, "Young Master Allen, I've kept you waiting. It's really hard to find a place for these guys to go on vacation. They almost smashed their own signboard. "
Koba jumped off the deck and roared, "Get down here, boys. Behave yourself and don't lose face for our guild. "
"I heard you. Your voice is so loud. Every time you make your ears hurt." A man came out. He was wearing a long trench coat and carrying a silver suitcase. He wore sunglasses and a golden skull stud on his earpearl reflected the morning sunlight. He raised his glasses and tied up the bangs on his forehead like a circle. It was Belmore, who was agile and good at assassination and spying.
Koba snorted, "When you get to the Outer Realm, you'll miss this beautiful voice of mine. Because such a voice can only be heard on Earth. "
Belmore tilted his head and said, "Come on, it's not like I've never been to the Outer Realm. Don't make me look like a country bumpkin … Hey …"
He suddenly staggered and almost fell off the deck. Belmore turned around and shouted, "Damn Roy, why did you hit me from behind? Do you want to make a fool of me?"
He shouted, but he jumped down to the ground. Obviously, Belmore didn't want anyone to hit him a second time. A tower-like figure emerged from behind him, pointing at the sky like a steel spike. On Fang Zheng's serious face, his light gray eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at his companion. "I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have stood in front of me," the man said without sincerity.
"Can't you take a detour?" Belmond protested.
Roy walked down and said, "Detour? What's that? "
"A barbarian!" said Belmore, grinding his teeth.
Broy, who was standing behind Allen, suddenly smiled. Welik frowned and said, "Big man, why are you smiling so strangely?"
Broy's gaze fell on Roy's warhammer and he said, "Look, he uses the same weapon as me. He really wants to compete with me."
"Don't get excited all of a sudden, calm down, we are seniors!" William said, patting his chest.
The last to disembark from the flying ship were a pair of twin brothers.
Tang Ji and Tang Mo, an Asian, looked almost exactly the same. The only difference was that there was an almost invisible mole at the corner of Tang Ji's eye. Both of them were dressed in black. When they got off the flying ship, they stood side by side with their hands behind their backs. His posture was so valiant that no one dared to ignore him. Their combat strength was only Level 15, but according to the information provided by Koba, the two brothers would join forces to fight against each other regardless of whether their opponents were one or more people because of their telepathy. The two of them were proficient in joint attacks. Even Roy or Belmond were unwilling to fight the two brothers alone if it wasn't necessary.
After the mercenaries got off the airship, Koba stepped forward and handed a printed contract to Allen, completing the handover. Koba said, "Then I'll leave these guys to you, Young Master Allen."
Allen nodded and walked forward. He swept his gaze across the four of them and said with his hands behind his back, "You should all know who I am, but let's introduce ourselves."
"I'm Allen. From today onwards, I'll be your employer. After the planet is coded, our hunting squad will head for the Outer Realm. The contract is valid for three years. After three years, you can leave or renew the contract at your own discretion. Although it's an employment relationship, I hope that you can integrate into the hunting squad. If you perform well, you will be the backbone talents I need. Bescot has always been generous to talent. At that time, you will find that staying by my side will earn more than mercenaries. "
"My hunting squad doesn't have many rules, only one that can't be crossed. That's betrayal! "Allen straightened his chest slightly, and his entire body immediately gave off a piercingly cold aura. The surrounding air seemed to have become a little drier. Belmond subconsciously licked his lips, and a few beads of sweat appeared on the Tang brothers' foreheads. Only Roy's expression remained the same. Allen looked at them and gained a better understanding of their strength. He said indifferently, "Once you choose to betray, pray. Pray that I don't bump into you. At that time, you will find that death is the best outcome. "
Allen put away his aura and put on a gentle smile. "As long as you are my companions, I will not give up on you no matter what the situation is. Otherwise, you can use all means to take revenge on me. "
Belmond put down his suitcase and applauded, "Young Master Allen, it looks like you'll be a good boss. It's a great honor to serve you. I'll try my best to become a companion you approve of. "
He stretched out his hand to Allen, but an ice-cold dagger suddenly appeared beside his neck. Belmond's smile froze, and Allen smiled and said, "I heard from Mr. Koba, Belmond. Unfortunately, I'm not used to putting my wallet on me. And if there's a next time, I'll cut off your claws. "
Belmond's other hand had already reached Allen's waist at some point, but he could only retract it embarrassedly. He whistled, "Boss, you're so alert."
"Of course, because I don't have much money." Allen withdrew the devil's salute and said, "Follow me. Before we leave, I've arranged a few rooms for you in the castle."
In the study of the castle, Horn withdrew his gaze. Beside him, Mr. Helsing brought him a cup of black tea and said, "Young Master Allen has recruited some good companions."
"Yes, the Misty Fire Guild has some quality. Moreover, they didn't use anyone casually. They can be considered to be able to do it." Horn smiled.
"I heard that the mercenary broker named Koba is a friend of Young Master Leon. The last time Young Master Leon went to war, he also picked a few people from him. "
"Leon, so it's that brat." Horn laughed, "This kid did a good job. He deliberately created a situation that was not favorable to him, but he pulled out a lot of people who were hiding deep enough. He has a set of skills."
"When it comes to scheming, Young Master Allen is still a little lacking in this area." Helsing said.
Horn nodded in agreement, "But Allen is on a different path. You can tell from his saber." When it came to scheming and scheming, not to mention Leon, he was still inferior to the Morsen Clan's little demon. However, Allen's domineering directness would eventually open up another world for him. I think this is more or less due to the influence of that little woman, Windsor Bellow. "
"That's right. That marshal always likes to act recklessly." Housekeeper Helsing chuckled.
Horn put away the smile on his face. "Compared to this, there seems to be something big happening tomorrow."
"Yes, Master. It has been confirmed that the Gate of Freedom will hold peace talks with President Mobius in Babylon tomorrow."
Horn looked out of the window and sighed, "I have a hunch that this meeting won't go so smoothly. After all, there's still no news from Alstair. "
Early the next morning, the Statue of Liberty Port was packed with people. In order to welcome the brain of the Gate of Freedom and create a friendly atmosphere, the Federation organized a grand welcome ceremony. A welcoming group of more than ten thousand residents of Babylon arrived at the port early. Everyone held flowers in their hands and smiled. They had to achieve the best publicity effect.
After many consecutive meetings, the Federation cabinet voted to adopt a proposal to deal with the Gate of Freedom incident peacefully. Among them, apart from the majority of the pro-peace officials, there had not been a moment of peace on the interstellar defense line for the past two years. Under all kinds of pressure, President Mobius, who had always been swift and decisive, also adopted this relatively moderate policy.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible to solve the problem of the floating island and the surface through a single meeting. But at the very least, it was a good start.
It was a sunny day, and the sky above Babylon was clear. Everyone waited, and finally, a magical airship marked with the Gate of Freedom, as well as two rows of frigates guarded by the Federation Army for security measures, arrived.
The fleet of airships appeared from the distant horizon and quickly expanded in the eyes of the people, heading in the direction of the Statue of Liberty Harbor. When they were about to arrive above the harbor, people had already begun to cheer, and some even threw bouquets into the sky. The bouquet dispersed, and when the delicate flowers fell with the wind.
However, at this moment, a row of conspicuous fire belts suddenly appeared in the sky. When he saw the fire belt, Mobius, who had been standing at the harbor with a smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression. Suddenly, a drastic change occurred. Several frigates on the right side of the fleet were hit head-on and exploded in the air, turning into several balls of fire. Metal fragments from the explosion splashed in all directions with flames. The crowd in the harbor was stunned for a moment before they cried out in alarm.
In an instant, the harbor was in chaos.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the airship of the Gate of Freedom immediately turned around and left. At this moment, one of the flying ships that acted as a guard suddenly left the team. The high-energy cannons on the flying ship flickered a few times, and several azure bolts of lightning pierced through the air, hitting the stern engine of the Gate of Freedom flying ship.
With a loud rumble, the flying ship exploded. Within the slowly rising fireball, huge parts of the flying ship continuously wrapped in flames fell down. The flames even illuminated the faces of the people in the harbor, and Mobius's face was bright and dark. The officials beside him all had ashen faces. As long as they weren't stupid, they knew what this meant.
No matter who the attacker was, the airship of the Gate of Freedom was blown up, and the people inside were dead. There was no room for manoeuvre between the Federation and them. All that was left was an all-out war!
