Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1177: A Secret Meeting

The castle's conference hall is filled with aromas of ale, barbecue and fruit. After the war, not only did people need to rest, they also needed food to fill their stomachs, so Ante prepared enough food for these people in the hall. However, it was clear that their current thoughts were not on the delicious ale brewed by these castle winemakers, or on the meat steaks that were grilled to the point of being extremely crispy but had a much tender and juicy interior.

There was an intense discussion in the hall.

"This is too strange. Can anyone tell me what happened to the rain of light?" The old general, Salon, said in a loud voice, "Heavens, they're so powerful, and they don't look like the abilities of any Ten Saints." "I would be happy to have the help of a mysterious expert, but that doesn't look like it. After all, I don't know which expert can use such a powerful ability or battle skill without revealing any aura!"

Midian stood by the window. It was already evening, and the setting sun was thrown at a corner of the windowsill, causing his head to shine with silver threads of golden light. "As far as I know, none of the Ten Saints know how to use such abilities or battle techniques. The rain of light looks so cold and heartless that I can't feel the smell. They're more like swords, like emotionless weapons that specialize in slaughter," he whispered.

"It would be even stranger if it was a weapon." Hoey shook his head. "The empire doesn't have such a powerful weapon, does it? Or did those mysterious fellows from the Ruins Investigation Team discover something else?"

"This is unlikely." "When I was in Fort Daybreak, I was also very interested in the investigation team's affairs. I had gathered reports and information from them, but there were no similar weapons in that information," Julian said.

Alan remained silent as he listened to the discussions in the hall. However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed. Those rain of light, those destructive beams of light. Julian and the others didn't know what it was, but Alan knew very well that it was high-energy cannon fire! Such a dense firepower was something that only a small squadron could organize. Given that those beams of light landed on the outsiders' positions, it could be imagined that the starship fleet hiding high up in the sky at that time was either from the Federation or owned by the people of Adahua Planet.

But what Alan couldn't understand was why the Federation and the people of Adahua Planet would come to Planet Paradise at this time and interfere in the internal wars of the planet.

This question was like the rain of light that Salon and the others had discussed, and there was still no definite answer.

It wasn't until night fell that everyone in the hall dispersed.

Alan returned to his room. The dining table was already filled with delicious dinners. They were Alan's subordinates and friends, Lucy and Laura handed out knives and utensils like hostesses, Adele, on the other hand, used her poisonous tongue, as usual, to stir Regis's anger in a few seconds, Belmord smiled and patiently taught Bai how to use the knife and fork. Hubble argued that there was clearly not enough wine tonight. As for William, he had already drunk with Broy and Roy. Only Father Miro insisted on not drinking a drop of wine, but he ruthlessly told Vera that there was a good wine hidden in the priest's bedroom.

Looking at this face that was flushed red under the light, Alan suddenly felt that it was a rare blessing to be able to gather together after so many things had happened.

Then people found him, and Alan sat down amidst the cries.

He discovered that Edward was not present.

Lucy told him that the dragon had called him back, as if there was something Edward needed to do at Dawn Castle. Moreover, Edward had also said that he had no part to play in such a country war. Rather than staying here and staring, it was better to return to the territory and do something real.

"He's also a guy who can't be idle." Alan sighed, then raised his glass and said, "Let's drink a toast. This toast is for us to be alive."

After a few glasses of ale, Allen felt as if he had something on his mind. "You want to ask what happened to the rain of light during the day, right? Well, yes, I think you should have guessed that it's not the ability of some mysterious expert, nor is it the secret weapon of the empire. I bet it's the cannon fire of a high-energy cannon."

Hubble slammed the table and almost knocked it down. Catu said loudly, "Am I right? Apart from high-energy beams, there's nothing else that can strike with such precision."

"You can speak a little louder. Better let the people in the castle hear you. Then they will come and ask you, Mr. Hubble, what is a high-energy beam?" Adele rolled her eyes.

Hubble blushed, and at last gave up his argument with Adele and drank his wine. It seemed that he had also asked the young girl about her tongue, and he had also suffered a lot.

'"If it's a high-energy beam, then it means that the forces outside the planet are involved in today's war. Young Master Allen, do you think it was the Earth Federation or His Highness' fellow citizens?" Said Belmord, who was sitting opposite.

"On this point, I guess the answer will emerge on its own very soon." Alan blinked his eyes and said, "Before that, I advise you not to think about these troublesome things. It's rare for everyone to get together today. Why don't you open your chest and drink?"

"Right, right, right. Why bother? It's good that you're not our enemy anyway." Hubble held a bottle of wine, took off the stopper, and poured it into his mouth.

Looking at his drunken appearance, Adele shook her head and said, "You will surely become the first Cato to die of drunkenness."

The banquet lasted until late into the night. When everyone was full, a soldier knocked on the door of Allen's residence. Lucy answered the door. A moment later, the girl came back and whispered in Allen's ear, "Someone wants to see you and ask the soldiers to carry the name of Beth Cod."

Alan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "The answer came to me."

He left his seat and personally instructed the soldiers to bring him to the study. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the study. Alan was looking out of the window at the barracks under the night sky and said, "Come in." The door opened and someone walked in. He wore a dark cloak and hid everything except his face under it. To Alan's surprise, this was a face that was younger than him. The other party had soft black hair and light blue pupils that looked like a clear sky.

Alan waved his hand and told the soldiers to close the door and leave. After the door was closed, Allen asked, "Who are you?"

"Hillfa." The young man whispered. His voice was like a midsummer night breeze, gentle and gentle. "Mr. Allen, I'm from the Federation. I'm the commander of the Black Wing Legion."

Alan was mentally prepared, but when he heard this answer, his entire body trembled. He said in a deep voice, "Blackwing from one of the Federation's trump cards? Are you a general?"

"You're right." Hillfa nodded. He didn't look like a federal general at all. He looked like a shy teenager next door. He smiled faintly and said, "This is the first time we've met. I hope you won't blame me for coming uninvited."

"I can't blame you. I'm just a little surprised. And in this way, I have to thank General Hillfa for his help during the day."

Hillfa shook his head and said, "According to the rules, I was not allowed to interfere in the internal wars of the planet, especially at a time when the planet was being developed as a colonial planet by several large families." But Mr. Allen was on the battlefield at that time, and I was afraid that the war would affect our meeting, so I intervened on my own initiative. I apologize for disturbing the development progress of Beskard in the future. "

"Oh, from what the general said, are you here for me?" Ellen asked in surprise, "What is it that requires a federal general to personally come to Heaven Planet to find me?"

'"It's a big matter. It concerns the future of the entire Federation and even all of humanity" Hillfa apologized. "Because of my authority, I can't reveal much to Mr. Allen. Right now, I just want you to agree to one thing. Mr. President wants you to come back with me immediately. That matter needs to be confirmed with Mr. Allen personally."

"You want me to go back immediately?" Alan frowned. "How is that possible? As you can see, I still have a war on my side. Besides, you won't even reveal anything. How do you want me to go with you?"

Hillfa sighed softly, "It's only natural that Mr. Allen would react in this way. In fact, I would be quite dissatisfied with it." But believe me, this matter is too important for me to reveal much here. I can only tell you that Mr. President is unwilling to back down in the slightest on this matter. If Mr. Allen refuses, even if you use force, I will bring you back. Even so, it will attract Beskard's dissatisfaction. But compared to that matter, this little bit of dissatisfaction is nothing. "

"I am not threatening, but showing my attitude. And I hope you can see my sincerity. I know very well that Mr. Allen's establishment of his current status and influence on this planet was not easy to come by, so I could have directly ordered the fleet to forcefully land this morning and then take you away. But that would expose Mr Allen's identity and wash away all his efforts. That's why I chose a more covert way of meeting, and if that's not enough to convince Mr. Allen of my trust, I'm afraid I'll have to resort to something you don't like because of the time constraint. "

Ellen shook his head and laughed, "This isn't a threat. What is a threat? You better have an answer that satisfies me. Otherwise, not only me, but my family will pursue this matter to the end."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Of course I'm coming with you. Don't tell me you have a choice for me? Oh, yes, but that probably doesn't make any difference." "But you have to give me some time. I have to arrange my affairs after I leave before I can leave with you," Alan said in a low voice.

"Of course, but please forgive me. I can only give you two days at most." Hillfa said softly.

"Not much, carelessness is enough." Alan said.
