Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1209: Destiny

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear, and the sunlight fell on everything on the ground like a golden silk.

Seville walked out of the balcony of the Marshal's bedroom with powerful steps. After an oblique downward phase, he saw Capullo swimming in the pool. This is the top floor of the command building of King's Landing Stronghold on Planet Eden. That day, the foreign army invaded the Rudson Domain, and the Sovereign Landing Stronghold in the Garden of Eden was occupied. After the golden lion recaptured it, it devoted itself to the reconstruction of the stronghold.

Now that King's Lin Stronghold had been basically rebuilt, Capulo decided to install his residence in the command building for the convenience of his work.

Hearing the sound of footsteps above, Capulo surfaced. He was no longer young, but his muscles still showed no signs of relaxation. He could not find any extra flesh on his body. He still maintained a clear muscular line. Apart from his grey hair and wrinkles on his face, Capulo looked no different from a middle-aged man. In fact, Seville knew that experts like Capulet could even rejuvenate themselves by accelerating cellular metabolism if he wished. However, Marshal didn't seem to pay much attention to appearance.

"Good morning, Seville. The weather is good today. Do you want to come down and swim?" Capulo waved his hand.

Seville smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness."

After declining, the adjutant said, "I have already done what you instructed me to do yesterday. Marshal, you can set off at any time."

Capullo left the pool, wiped the water off his body with a towel and said, "Aren't you curious why Mr. President called me back in such a hurry?"

"If you need to tell me, Marshal, you will. If you don't need me to know, it's useless for me to ask," Seville said.

"You're still the same. You're always the same. Don't tell me those kids call you poker face behind your back." Capullo looked up at the bright sunshine and said, "The weather here is good, but the earth is terrible. You know, Seville, Horn may be dead."

"What?" "Mr. Horn? How is that possible …" Seville said with a shocked expression.

"I can't believe it either, but according to the information sent to me by His Excellency the President, the chances of survival should be low. What a pity. Those people that caught my eye back then have all left like this. Now that even Horn has left, I feel like I've left the times behind." Capullo took a clean towel and put it around his waist. He sat down on a beach chair and picked up a cigar from the table beside him. He puked out a cigarette ring and said, "There is something more serious. The president seems to be doing some kind of secret experiment with the Beskard boy, but it has been exposed. Now the three great families of Babylon, along with the nobles and nobles, are asking for an explanation from Mobius." If nothing unexpected happens, they will start a series of negotiations with the Federation in the near future. If we don't reach an agreement, the nobles and the federation will probably fall apart. "

Seville could no longer remain calm and his good mood in the morning disappeared. It wasn't a day or two for the Federation and the nobles to compete secretly, but they still maintained a superficial relationship. Even if the relationship deteriorates, there should be a buffer period, and it should never be fermented as quickly as it is now, and then heated up to an uncontrollable level in a single breath.

"Marshal, who is that kid from the Beskard family?" Seville asked.

"The little fellow who won first place in the military." Capello blew out a mouthful of cigarette. "That's right, Alan Beskard." Mobbit quietly brought him to the Iron Prison, but somehow Horn found out about it. Old Horn looked hard-hearted on the surface, but in reality, he valued his family very much, and Mobius was undoubtedly stepping on his bottom line by doing so. So Horn went to the Iron Prison and eventually caused a devastating explosion in the Iron Prison. Even he himself was left there. "

"But you have to admire Horn. Even though Mobius has exposed his reverse scales, he still cares about the overall situation. He chose to hand over the position of Patriarch to his son and even remove his name from the family. Why? Isn't it to avoid a full-scale war between the nobles and the Federation?" '"It's a pity that Mobbit's hand was too long this time. For some reason, the secret videos in the Iron Prison were leaked out. Even if the nobles wanted to pretend to be deaf, they wouldn't be able to do it. Mobbit's move could be said to have pushed him into a corner." Kaprou sneered.

"Mr. Horn's magnanimity is truly admirable." Seville said sincerely, "Then the president called you back this time to deal with the conflict with the nobles?"

"This is not the first time the president has asked us to wipe his butt," Capullo snorted. "You can see that he deliberately put himself in a neutral position in order to use the New Party to restrain us. Now, the situation isn't right, so I'm planning to fall in our favor, isn't it because I'm interested in our deep foundation? Amongst us, there are quite a few people who have extraordinary relationships with noble and wealthy families. But there's no reason for him to take advantage of me. He told me to go back, so of course I want to go back. Otherwise, the Federation would have been torn apart. "

"But martial power alone is not enough to solve this problem. In the end, Mobius stabbed himself into a hornet's nest." Capullo narrowed his eyes and said, "He has to take responsibility for this matter to the end. I think the best outcome is to resign with guilt so that the nobles will have a step down. In any case, Mobius' term of office is coming to an end. That's a good deal for him."

"Then the candidate for the new president …"

Capullo shrugged and said, "Look again, if no one is competent, I'll be the one to do it."

He laughed, but Seville did not dare to answer. The adjutant could not tell whether Marshal was joking or serious.

"Let's go and have breakfast. After breakfast, I should set off." Mobbit put out the remaining cigar with his hand and stood up and patted the adjutant's shoulder. "After I leave, I want you to keep an eye on this side. If there's anything you can't solve, go find that old fellow Russen. He'll help."

"I know."

On this day, Marshal Capullo left the Garden of Eden with a fleet. On Earth, however, the events triggered by the Federal President are still brewing. In a secret space, five beams of light lit up one after another. A figure appeared in each beam of light. There were men and women, but each of them wore a mask on their faces. The six-member council of the Light Concealment Society was reconvened, but the priests wearing black and white clown masks were absent forever, so there were only five people left in this core group.

After a moment of silence, K, who was wearing a mask, said in a deep voice, "Whether you admit it or not, there is nothing you can do to change the truth." Ladies and gentlemen, Alan is out of our control. What he did in Iron Prison was made worse by the fact that we chose to stand by and watch. "Now if you still feel that you have to continue observing Alan without imposing sanctions or banning him, then I don't think there is any need for this organization, because it has not played its due role!"

The few of them looked at each other.

The clown coughed dryly and said, "K, I admit that I made some mistakes." But who would have thought that Old Horn of Beskard would risk everything to rescue the prison, and who would have thought that the secret documents of the Iron Prison would be leaked? All I can say is that there are too many coincidences that make all of this happen. Of course, it would be useless to talk about this now. You're right. Alan is out of control. We must secretly eliminate him and continue to take over the presidency with a new substitute. "

"I think there's no need to vote on this decision, right?" The clown looked at everyone.

No one voiced any objections. He nodded and said, "Then we will immediately send out Miss to clean up Alan first …"

Suddenly, the A image in the corner became blurry. The clown was shocked and shouted, "What happened?"

The woman who had gone with the priest to assassinate Mobius said in a frightened and angry voice, "I'm under attack, damn it …" Suddenly, her image disappeared, leaving only the pillar of light where it was. Her departure was so sudden that the remaining few people did not react. Or was K the first to ask, "Does anyone know where A lives?"

"How is that possible? Only I know our identities and residences. No one should know where A lives." Said the woman wearing the mask Q.

The clown suddenly said, "No, someone knows."

K seemed to have thought of something and looked at him. Then, the two of them said the same name at the same time, "Alan!"

"Damn it, no matter what Alan's true identity is, he is still the highest authority in the Federation, even if it's just an appearance. However, he already has enough power to mobilize the power of the Federation to investigate us. He is a member of our organization, so it's not impossible for him to find us." The clown said hurriedly, "Everyone, this is the end of today's meeting, and we can no longer hold it in this way." Ladies and gentlemen, we must meet again. Wherever you are, please come to Doomsday Bunker in ten days. If Alan uses the power of the Federation to bite us back, the situation will become incomparably serious. Maybe Light Concealment Society can't stay in the shadows anymore. We have to get rid of this traitor with all our chess pieces. "

The clown looked at K again and disappeared into the pillar of light.

The others disappeared one by one, and K was no exception.

In Babylon, Alstair took off his sensor helmet. The room was dim, and it was late at night. From the window, one could see that the night on the island was hazy and incomparably tranquil. '"I think I screwed up, old friend," sighed Alstair. "It seems that I shouldn't have let you go. Not only did I end up with your life, it made the situation worse. If Light Concealment Society were to leave the shadows and the nobles would fall out with the Federation, then the next step would probably be a full-blown civil war for humanity."

"Tell me, what should I do?" Alstair sighed and cupped his head. "I can't think of any way to stop this ending. Is power and war destined to be unavoidable for us humans?"
