The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said, "General, as far as I know, Marshal Capullo seems to be very interested in that Bescot named Allen." I heard that General Katherine seemed to have been instructed by the marshal to get together with him. "
"Then our respected Berserk Lion Marshal is really a bit too much." Comon laughed, changed his posture, and said solemnly, "Alright, I have my own sense of propriety in this matter. I've heard a little about Marshal Capullo's thoughts, and it's not just because of Katherine that I attacked Bescot. Eden, you've been with me for seven years, right? Do you think I would make such a big fuss over a woman? Hey, what I'm plotting is not just a general. The interests in this are complicated. "
"Yes, this subordinate is stupid." The adjutant lowered his head. After serving Comon and the Grant family for seven years, he had long since learned what not to inquire about.
Comon waved his hand and changed the topic, "What's Katherine's doing about that Bescot?"
"I heard that reinforcements have been sent. The Third Vanguard Battalion is leading the way."
"That nigger? That's a bit difficult. That guy has a bad temper and probably won't listen to my orders. " Comon stood up and stretched lazily. "Looks like I'll have to go to the surface myself. Eden, go and equip me with a set of equipment. Don't let anyone see it. Katherine told her that I was injured and needed to enter the repair machine. I wouldn't be able to see her until twelve hours later. "
"This subordinate will do it now, but General, you do need to rest for a while …"
"It's just the Dark Titan's original dark light. It doesn't matter. This little injury won't stop me from killing a kid who's not even an Awakened. "Comon laughed dryly.
The adjutant didn't say anything else and nodded before leaving. After he left, the smile on Comon's face stiffened, and an unnatural layer of black light appeared on the surface of his skin. These black lights flowed like thousands of small snakes on the surface of his body, as if they were flowing through Comon's veins. A moment later, he returned to normal. Comon cursed, "How troublesome. These damn Dark Titans, damn Dark Lights, it's so troublesome to get rid of them!"
He shook his head and sat down on the chair. His breathing was slightly chaotic. However, he did not give up on his plan to go to the ground battlefield. Just as Comon had said, killing Allen was not as simple as his relationship with Katherine. Not long ago, a batch of Thames silver suddenly appeared on the black market in Babylon. As soon as this batch of precious metals entered the market, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Among them, the Grant Clan's reaction was the fastest, and they immediately spent a lot of money to obtain this batch of goods. He casually obtained the relevant information of this batch of goods from the black merchants and learned that this Thames Silver was actually sold by the Bescot Family. The Bescot family had several colonial planets, and there was definitely no precious metal like Thames silver among the minerals produced. The colonized planets were almost done, and the possibility of new mineral veins could be ruled out.
Then, in addition to the possibility of a new mineral vein, there was only another possibility, which was that the Bescot family controlled another colonial planet with Thames Silver. Now that he had thrown out this batch of goods in the form of a black market transaction, it was probably to test the market's reaction and prepare for future sales.
As the most potential family in Babylon, which wealthy family wouldn't pay attention to everything about Bescot? Naturally, there was no lack of information about this family in the Grant Clan's intelligence system, and now the information showed that Bescot did not have any extra colonial planets, except for the Paradise Star that Allen had accidentally discovered. As for the Heavenly Star, the Federation had long since evaluated it as "rich in resources".
The Grant Clan even sent out a squadron to open the Heavenly Star as well. However, the intensity and process of opening it were far less smooth than Bescot's. Combined with this information, it wasn't hard to imagine that the Thames silver on the black market came from Planet Heaven. If this planet possessed such a precious metal vein, it would be hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be other rare associated minerals like the Shadow Star Diamond. In this way, the value of Heavenly Star would increase by several times.
Without a doubt, a resource-rich planet like this should have been monopolized by the Federation. But first, Heavenly Star was not discovered by the Federation, and second, Allen and the family he represented had already taken root on this colonial planet. The Federation did not want to reveal the truth of the population, and for the sake of a planet, their relationship with the nobles had deteriorated, so they simply opened it as a public resource to a few clans.
However, if the Federation knew that there were rare products like Thames silver on Planet Heavenly, it was hard to guarantee that President Mobius would not change his mind. Therefore, the earlier they opened Heavenly Star, the more territory they occupied, and even the right to open this planet, it was the best way for any clan to increase their strength. Right now, Bescot was the most powerful on Planet Heavenly. Comon even heard that they were already building a base to accept more starships into the planet.
It could be foreseen that once this base was built, with a large number of starships pouring in, Bescot would be able to establish a relatively stable interstellar trade route before the various clans. At that time, trade between Planet Heaven and Earth would be on track, and Bescot, or Allen, would be unparalleled on Planet Heaven. This was what the Grants did not want to see, so when Comon found out that Allen was on Frost Star and happened to participate in the general attack on Frost Star. The general from the Grant Clan couldn't help but make a bold assumption about what would happen if Allen fell in this war.
The conclusion was that, at least on Planet Heaven, Bescot's colonial enterprise would suffer a huge blow. And the one with the greatest benefits was the Grant Clan. Therefore, what happened next was only logical. Going deeper into it, it was a matter of course. Comon was in charge of this operation against Allen. Once he succeeded, he would take great credit, and his power in the clan would be further consolidated and enhanced, thereby obtaining more resources. Therefore, whether it was public or private, Comon felt that it was imperative.
Before arriving at Coldfrost, he had asked the Clan Elder Council for instructions. The only ones who opposed his action were Dornier, Comon's eldest brother, and the head of the Grant Clan. But even if Dornier opposed it with all his might, he could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the other elders. The flames in their hearts had long been moved by the report that Comon had submitted, the data about the future profits of Planet Heaven. In the end, the Council of Elders approved Comon's request for action and agreed to let him take charge of this operation.
