The day after the magic energy starship received the colonial star code, it arrived at Statue of Liberty Harbor. Apart from being a dedicated port for public airships, Statue of Liberty Harbor also set aside an aerodrome for the take-off and landing of starships of various clans. The magic energy starship that Horn had chosen for Allen was a medium-sized ship that could accommodate fifty people. The starship included the cockpit, the arsenal, the power room, the rest area, the living area, and other areas.
It uses a double-layer composite tungsten steel shell armor, and the inner layer is a 10-centimeter-thick ablative armor to ensure the safety and impact resistance of the starship in space. The weapon system mainly consists of a quadruple high-energy light cannon array, a vibration missile, and two continuous quantum lightning turrets. Coupled with a shield system that can automatically adjust its frequency, this ship is also a sharp weapon for war on the planet when needed.
When Allen followed Horn to the family dock at the harbor, workers were removing the tarpaulin from the magic energy starship, removing the fixed components in transit, and so on. The black tungsten shell of the starship glowed with a golden luster in the sunlight, and the tail of its left and right hull were painted with the symbol of a pack of wolves.
"It hasn't been named yet." Horn smiled.
Allen blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hand and said, "Let's call it the Dawn."
"Bring the dawn of hope? What a good name. "
The operators of the Dawn Vessel would be provided by the family. This team included two pilots, one weapon and one defense system operator, as well as other logistics and maintenance personnel. There would be a total of ten people. The expenses of these people will be paid for by the clan first, and then Allen will have to bear it himself.
It was night, and a flying car stopped in front of the Grant Clan's pavilion.
Every wealthy family has a pavilion in Babylon to facilitate the family members' stay in Babylon. The person who got off the flying car was Alexander's family head, Maine. This man was able to appear here, seemingly ordinary, but in reality, he had used a lot of manpower and material resources. At this moment, in the eyes of those who wanted to see, Maine was in his family's mansion. Who knew that he had already arrived at the Grant Clan's Floating Island Inn?
Inside the inn, a spacious study was lit up. The old-era record player was playing melodious music from the bright speaker. Diego lowered his head and stood to the side with his hands behind his back. The weather was at the end of summer, but the temperature in the study was very high. Diego was already sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to move at all.
All because of the man sitting in the flannel armchair with his back to him.
That's Diego's father, Doneil.
Donniel was tall and sturdy. Even though he was sitting down, he could sit like an abyss. He had the posture of a lofty mountain. He was cleaning a large-caliber revolver with a spear-like pattern on the barrel. The revolver/gun named Spear of Victory was Dornier's favorite gun. He rubbed every inch of the gun until it was shiny, as if he was caressing a lover. Every time he wiped this beloved gun, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was young that was as hot as flowing fire. Thus, a domineering and impetuous aura that was like a desert arose spontaneously, turning the study that had a constant temperature system into a blazing desert.
"How has Master Lawrence been these few days?" Donnie asked indifferently.
Diego lowered his head and said, "Teacher is in good spirits, but …"
"Just what?"
"He took out Bescot's plan again and sometimes smiled." Diego hesitated and said, "I wonder if Teacher has been too stimulated."
Donnier laughed loudly, his voice like a bell. The laughter even made Diego unable to breathe. He smiled and said, "Diego, you're still young. Whether it's your temperament or comprehension, you're still far from reaching Master Lawrence's realm. No wonder you think so, but I know that Master Lawrence hasn't been beaten down. And because of Bescot's stimulation, he might make another breakthrough in the realm of sequence. "
Diego said in surprise, "How did Father know?"
"Because he and I are the same kind of people. People like us who have already reached a bottleneck will find it very difficult to break through if we don't have a stronger opponent to stimulate us. Master Lawrence's smile meant that he had comprehended something. Since that was the case, then he wasn't far from a breakthrough. We are all people who stand at the top of our respective fields. It's just that our paths are different. "
Diego heard this and understood a little.
At this moment, the old butler's voice sounded from outside the study, "Master, Mr. Main requests an audience."
"Main? Hey, this man really came. Looks like Bescot is driving him crazy. "Donnier finally turned around. His outline was somewhat similar to Diego's. He waved his hand and said, "You can go down first."
Diego nodded and left. After leaving, Maine strode into the study and smiled, "Donnier, my old friend, how long has it been since we last met like this?"
Donnier stood up, hugged Maine gently, and separated, "While you were engrossed in the battle against Bescot, I went to the Outer Realm to open up the seventh colonial planet for the family. It's been fifteen years since we last met face to face. Are you alright, Main? "
He turned around and took out a glass from the wine cabinet. He opened a bottle of good red wine, filled the glass, and handed it to Maine. "For this moment."
"Cheers."
The two glasses touched each other.
Maine took a sip and put down his glass with a bitter smile. "This is really an accident. Bescot's momentum has increased instead of decreasing. I think it's time for our two families to respond. "
"For example?" Donnier asked with a faint smile.
"That little fellow. Yes, that kid named Allen must be eliminated. " Maine said seriously, "It was all thanks to this kid that Bescot was able to make a name for himself at the auction. You should also know that the Federation's Academy of Science and Technology has already sent him an invitation to become an honorary academician. "
"So what?" Donnier sat back down and spread out his hands.
"Old friend, take a good look with your eyes. How old is he? He has already taken out a set like the Blazing Battle Soldier and the Wind God Knight. What about the future? God knows how many more amazing works he will have. In my opinion, he is the next Lawrence. No, his achievements may even be above Lawrence's. Perhaps he will become someone like Monroe, the father of the Demon Martial Arts. "
"Letting such a person serve Bescot will be like a tiger with wings. Ten years, perhaps in less than ten years, Bescot will be able to become a wealthy family. At that time, it will not only be me who will be threatened, but also your Grant Clan! "Maine put down his glass and placed his hands on Donnier's desk. He leaned forward and said loudly.
"Don't forget, there are also the William and Smith Clans. However, the four great clans don't seem to be a problem. "
Maine frowned and said, "Donnier, what do you mean? Are you going to let Bescot sit up? "
"That's what I wanted to ask you." Donnier's expression turned solemn and he said, "Maine, what's wrong with you? When did you not even let go of a kid in order to deal with Bescot? The Grant Family's current foundation did not rely solely on the practice of eliminating dissidents. Moreover, if that Allen really has such great potential as you said, then it is even more impossible for me to destroy him! "
"Why?" Maine was stunned.
Donnier said decisively, "The overall situation!"
"You and I live in a great era of high-level warfare. Aliens are eyeing our planet covetously, and the interstellar defense line has not been peaceful for the past two years. The magical energy equipment designed by that kid has increased the strength of our army by a lot out of thin air. " Donnier leaned back in his chair and said, "If he didn't have the talent, he would have been destroyed. But now it's the opposite. I can't destroy such a talent for nothing because of my own selfish desires. "
Maine looked at him and his gaze changed several times.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Looks like I've made a wasted trip tonight. Then I'll take my leave, noble Mr. Donnier. "
Maine left angrily. Donnier shook his head and said, "With your tolerance, Maine, you won't be able to catch up to Horn in another ten years."
Back in the flying car, Maine slapped the window with hatred and said, "Donnier, you'll regret your choice tonight."
The driver in front asked, "Sir, where are we going?"
"To see General Eliphant." Maine whispered, "Looks like I have to talk to Marshal Capullo."
A week passed quickly, and the Dawn had also completed the preparations for the storage of supplies. Early that morning, Bescot's convoy arrived at Goddess Harbor, and the soldiers continued to walk onto the lift deck of the Dawn. The door of a flying car opened, and Allen and Horn got out.
Horn looked up at the Dawn in the sun and sighed, "Forty years ago, it was such a beautiful day." I brought my family's expeditionary force out of Babylon and headed for the chaotic battlefield. That expedition established the status of Bescot's family, and it was also that expedition that at least half of the warriors who followed me couldn't return home. In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed, and I'm old. Right now, the honor of the family can only be maintained by you young people. "
"But no matter what, you have to come back alive, Allen" Horn stretched out his big hand and placed it on Allen's shoulder. "To me, you're more important than the honor of the family, son."
Allen nodded. Horn's hand was as heavy as a mountain.
"Go." Horn patted Allen on the back.
Allen stood upright and hugged Horn tightly. Then, without turning back, he walked straight towards the Dawn. Behind him, Lucy, Adele, Regis, William, and Broy followed him. Looking at this scene, Horn felt as if he knew it.
Back then, he had also traveled to the Outer Realm under the protection of a group of followers. Looking at Allen's back, Horn felt as if he was looking at himself when he was young.
You must come back, Allen! Horn glanced at the young figures one more time before returning to the flying car. The flying car turned around and left the port, returning to Ugarte. As the flying car drove on the road outside the port, the roar of engines could be heard from afar. Through the window, Horn saw that the Dawn was rising into the air. After determining the direction, the stern of the starship spat out blue lightning. Facing the morning light, he cut through the sky and disappeared under the azure sky!
