Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 588: Frame
In the last half month, Babylon has been in the midst of an upsurge of winds and clouds. On the floating island, from the aristocratic families to the ordinary nobles, whoever had a small amount of troops would bring their private troops back from the various battlefields. Thus, for a time, not to mention Babylon, the more than a dozen districts on the surface that were still under federal control had also increased their military strength by leaps and bounds. Naturally, the number of troops from noble and wealthy families could not compare to the large and small legions of the federal government. However, when they were all gathered together, there were also a hundred thousand troops.
Not to mention anything else, just the private armies of the three great clans, which armies didn't exceed ten thousand men. Moreover, this wasn't all their forces. Which of the three great families didn't have five or six colonial stars on hand, so they naturally couldn't bring all their forces back. However, they could be considered elites, and their combat strength could not be ignored. Naturally, Babylon could not accommodate these armies, so they all gathered on the surface.
To the turbulent surface, the army that had suddenly gathered was also standing on the side of the Federation. It was also a real shock to the Gate of Freedom. Soon, Freedom Gate issued a statement. The statement said that because of the opening of the Star Wars, Freedom Gate did not intend to participate, but did not want to delay the Federation in this regard. Therefore, all war activities on the surface were temporarily halted, and only after the matter of the interstellar battlefield came to an end could they make any plans.
On the surface, this statement was the Gate of Freedom's deep sense of justice, and it did not take advantage of this opportunity to pick up leaks. Actually, it was a helpless action taken by the noble army, and it also gave them a chance to catch their breath for the continuous war. In the short term, Freedom Gate's truce would be beneficial to both sides, and the Federation would naturally be happy to accept it. Otherwise, even with the resources of the federal government, a war between the three sides would not be easy. In the long run, it is another important turning point in dealing with the Federation and the Gate of Freedom. During the truce period, there were many actions that could be taken. From communication and negotiation to intelligence spying, the actions of both sides would definitely not be less than during the war. It was just that they had changed from openness to darkness.
These actions were related to the interests of countless people, and they would bring about a series of changes. As for the final outcome, even the leaders on both sides were unable to predict.
However, the truce at the Gate of Freedom was still a good thing. At the very least, the Federation and the nobles could prepare for the battle with all their might, without being distracted.
In Babylon, there were quite a few movements, both overt and covert. In order to mobilize all the nobles in the Federation, President Mobius frequently went to banquets and meetings with the patriarchs of various large clans to strengthen their friendship. On the other hand, the movements between the clans became more frequent than before, and they gradually formed a clear faction. Some of the weaker clans moved closer to the larger clans that they usually had good relations with in order to seek refuge. The large clans were willing to integrate their combat strength and obtain more military merits in the upcoming war.
Under the impetus of all these aspects, countless interests were shattered, and countless interests were combined together, thus forming the unique behavior structure of human society.
In the afternoon, a flying car left the castle. This flying car didn't have a driver, and Alan drove alone. He couldn't be considered a skilled driver, so he could only drive the flying car, and couldn't play any tricks. When he left, representatives of two other families came to the castle to meet Horn. As Bethcodd's ranking in Babylon steadily rose, the clan attracted more and more allies. It was no longer the same as before, except for the Morsen clan, only one or two clans had good relations with him.
There were now more than a dozen clans attached to the tree, and Allen believed that with the introduction of the new series of magical equipment, the number would only increase. The development of interest, situation and other factors is quietly changing the previous loose structure of aristocratic families. Especially with the rise of a colossus like Beth Cod, those families that couldn't make it on the stage could only gradually disappear if they didn't choose to rely on it.
The rules of the game of big fish eating small fish were becoming clearer and clearer.
The rise in family status was accompanied by the rise in the status of family members. As one of the core members of the current Bescot, Allen was receiving so much attention that even he himself could not imagine it. What he knew was that when they went out in public, especially when they bumped into some family representatives in the castle, their gazes were burning hot as if they were looking at a naked beauty.
This made Ellen quite uncomfortable.
What he didn't know was that his name had already appeared on the list that some families needed to pay attention to. The priority of attention was only ranked after Horn, along with the clan elders. Usually, these high-profile names either needed to be wooed or eradicated. Whether it was roping in or eradicating it, it represented one thing-the value of the owner of the name.
For some large clans, even those who had to be eradicated definitely had the value they needed to eradicate. Just like an ant passing by, you don't intentionally trample it to death. Without value, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the line of sight of some great figures.
Alan could only feel the surging winds and clouds in Babylon, but he was unable to clearly know the whereabouts of every undercurrent.
The car ended up parked in the Venus hotel parking lot. Leon hadn't returned to William's island yet and was still staying in the Venus hotel's long-term suite with Judy. Alan wanted to talk to Leon about Judy again. He decided to stick to them if they really loved each other.
But when she knocked on the door, it was Judy who opened the door. She wore a casual bathrobe, as if she had just taken a bath. Her hair was still wet and her face was covered in droplets of water. The length of the bathrobe just happened to be at her thigh, so a pair of legs with droplets of water was reflected in Alan's eyes. The collar was pushed open by the girl's well-developed two peaks, and one could clearly see the deep ravine. It had to be said that this girl's figure was very predictable.
"It's you, Young Master Allen." Judy smiled and leaned over to let Alan in.
Alan stood at the door. "Where's Leon?"
"He's just gone out on business. He won't be back until a while later."
"Alright then, I'll come back later." Alan was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait." "Young Master Allen, I have something I want to ask you about. It's about Leon. Please tell me when he's away." Judy suddenly shouted.
In the hall, Alan chose a window seat and sat down. The afternoon sun lit up the entire living room. Everything in the golden sunlight had its own color retracted. As a result, Allen's eyes were filled with floating gold. Even Judy was no exception. She had already changed her clothes, and her wheat-colored skin was flowing with a faint layer of golden light under the sunlight, as if she had been coated with a little bit of golden powder.
"What do you want to know about Leon?" Alan looked at her and asked.
She was wearing a loose shirt, which looked like Leon's. The corner of his robe knotted his belly, revealing a curvaceous waist. Her lower body was wearing a tight short skirt, barefoot, and looked quite refreshing and playful. Judy looked hesitant and said with her fingers crossed, "I don't know if he really loves me. After all, our identities are too far apart."
Hearing this, Alan was slightly stunned. Could it be that the girl in front of him loved Leon from the bottom of her heart? Then he said, "I think you can feel that. If you really love each other."
"Young Master Allen must think that Leon and I are together because of his status, right?" Judy suddenly asked.
Ellen didn't know what to say, but she smiled, "Young Master Allen is such a good liar. To be honest, you look much cuter than Leon."
Alan secretly frowned.
Judy stretched and stretched her infinitely beautiful waist in front of Alan. "At first, I did have this kind of attention. Leon was handsome and powerful. Being able to sleep with him and be his woman, I didn't have to live on the surface and live a precarious life."
"What about now?" Alan asked indifferently.
"Now?" Judy bit her lip and walked forward. "Now I don't think being with Leon is necessarily the best choice."
This was another unexpected answer.
"Oh? Why?" Alan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Judy had already walked up to him. She bent down and her long hair fell down. Her shirt was so loose that she bent down and opened her collar, and the scenery was visible from Alan's point of view. The beautiful two peaks, as well as the slightest bit of red on the mountain peak, were incomparably clear. Judy's breath landed on Alan's face. She was too close.
'"Right now, I think Young Master Allen is the most suitable person. The moment I saw you last night, I discovered that I already liked you. And I heard that Young Master Allen came from the surface of the earth. Don't you think we are more suitable?" "How about I break up with Leon and stay with Young Master Allen?" Judy sat down on Allen's body and wrapped her hands around his neck.
Alan's eyes lit up, and his gaze was like lightning, piercing into Judy's eyes. Judy's entire body trembled. The sunlight in the room suddenly turned dim and pale. She was struck by the murderous intent in Alan's eyes and fell to the ground with a loud shout. Alan slowly stood up, his eyes flickering, "You really plan to use Leon!"
At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the other side of the living room, and Alan subconsciously looked over. On the ground, Judy took advantage of this time to forcefully pull open her shirt, and a few buttons collapsed and fell to the ground. When Leon walked in, he saw Alan standing in front of Judy. The girl's clothes were torn and her two peaks were standing proudly in the air. Immediately, Leon's expression was extremely gloomy as he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Alan lowered his head and saw Judy on the ground like this. He knew that he had been framed by her. Before he could speak, Judy burst into tears and ran behind Leon. She did not say anything, but expressed everything she wanted to say with her actions. However, even though he was crying, there was a smile on Leon's face.
