Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 701: Lobbyist

After the two of them sat down, delicious dishes began to come to the table. The waiter put the dinner on the silver plate on the table in a skillful and agile manner, and then opened the lids of the same color above, causing the fragrance in the hall to overflow.

These were indeed delicious meals that made one's index finger tremble. Especially when Alan ate the most nutrients on Frost Planet. Now that he saw these delicious meals, he felt excited.

The dinner was divided into two, Capulet and Allen's dishes were the same.

The main course in front of them was a roast lamb chop decorated with mint leaves and sprinkled with rich sauce. Lamb chops are roasted to a golden yellow color and look particularly attractive with brown sauce and green leaves. Beside him was a bowl of mashed potatoes soaked in cream, also emitting an alluring fragrance. Apart from that, there was a salad with vegetables and fruits, baked lobster with cheese smeared with butter, fine truffles, delicious caviar, and two slices of toast with bacon.

For dessert, chilled blueberry milkshakes, fresh juice and chocolate mousse are served.

The dishes on the table were dazzling, and even in Babylon, they had to be enjoyed in high-end restaurants. Not to mention the fact that they were on the Sunrise cruiser right now, just the transportation of these foods and keeping them fresh was a huge expense. Hence, although Capulo's identity was not worthy of his marshal status, the location of the cruiser would be different.

Ellen wasn't polite either. Seeing that Capullo had already started to sweep the food, he also directly took care of the roasted lamb chop. The knife and fork in his hand were exceptionally agile and accurate, cutting the lamb chop into cubes the size of a cube, and then sending it into his mouth to chew. His speed wasn't slow, his posture was elegant, and it was completely in line with the etiquette of the nobles. Capulo, by contrast, was much more rude. The marshal directly cut off a piece of meat steak and sent it to his mouth with a fork to tear it apart, causing the sauce to splatter everywhere.

When they were in a hurry, they even reached out to grab it. This kind of eating style could only be described as not being complimentary. However, it gave off an unusually pleasant feeling, as well as Capulona's heroic side as a soldier.

The two of them remained silent and focused on eliminating food. When the main dish and side dishes were almost extinguished, Capulo's speed slowed down. He wiped his hands clean with a wet towel and looked at Ellen with a smile, "You eat more, and young people should eat more, so that they can have the strength to fight." When I was your age, how could a table like this be enough for me? At that time, he didn't like these delicately cooked, underserved dishes either. My favourite dish was roasted steak, and there was nothing special about it. Throw the fresh steak over the fire and roast it with salt and other seasonings. It's great food. "

Alan also stopped and recalled the days when he lived on the surface. He agreed, "The simpler the method, the more fragrant the food is. It tastes a little bit more like the essence. Instead, the fragrance of the food is already overshadowed by the fragrance of the food that has been cooked through so many processes."

'"You're very insightful. Straight to the point. Hey, that's a good phrase. You've been through a lot. Young people like you wouldn't have said such thought-provoking things without moving experiences."

Alan said indifferently, "Marshal, you're flattering me."

"This is the truth. Well, I don't like to beat around the bush. Let's put it this way, Alan. I admire you, and Mr. Horn is one of the few people I respect. That's why I hope you can join the Golden Lion. With your talent, at least one major general can't escape. I heard that you were imprisoned by someone with Origin Energy. That's not a problem. I can find someone to help you remove it. Although Origin Energy Confinement was troublesome, it was not an insurmountable problem. "What do you think of my proposal?"

Ellen didn't want him to be so straightforward. He immediately threw out such a crucial question as soon as he finished eating. He sat up straight and was just about to express his stance. Capullo suddenly shouted and waved his hand, "Don't, don't, don't, don't refuse. I know what you're thinking, you're Windsor Belo's student. Marshal Greed is the representative of the New Party, and Sirius and Bescot have arms cooperation, so you're not fit to join the Golden Lion no matter what. Is that what you think?"

"Since you already know." Ellen smiled and said, "I'm sure Marshal won't force things on others, right?"

'"Of course, I don't like to influence others. But I want to ask you, Ellen. You're not part of Sirius or any of the New Party's legions now, are you? In that case, your position should be neutral. So you rejected me because of Windsor Bellow?" Capullo shook his head and said, "If that's the case, you're a little too narrow-minded. Or you can change your perspective and think about it this way. If you join the Golden Lion, with you as a link, you might bring a whole new dimension to the old and new parties."

"Think about it, you're a student of Windsor Belo and a general of my Golden Lion. Then there's a lot you can do. The growing divide between the old and the new parties is because it's hard for us to trust each other. But if there's someone Windsor Belo and I can trust, then maybe the new situation President Morbit is looking forward to will come."

Alan's heart skipped a beat. This was something he hadn't thought about before.

"Ten thousand steps back, even because you joined the golden lion. Windsor belo was so angry that she even removed you from the student list and angered beth cord. Then I have the ability to make up for all of this. In terms of experience and strength, I am also qualified to be your teacher. The Golden Lion's demand for armaments is no less than Sirius's. I can even let the two legions, Death Spreading and Iron Fist, hand over their armaments to you, Beth Cod. "Capulo said calmly," So you see, you didn't lose anything when you joined the Golden Lion, but you only got more than you do now. "

Alan shouted out loud. Capullo did not force him to join. Instead, he helped him dissect his interests. No one could find a reason to refuse, but Alan always felt that something was wrong. It was an instinct.

'"You can think about it. There's no hurry to make a decision. Just give me an answer before the war ends. Anyway, the war isn't over so soon. You have plenty of time to think about it and listen to Mr. Horn. Anyway, let's stop here and change the subject." Kaprou laughed.

"I heard that you and His Highness the Prince of Adahua Planet are very close?"

Alan thought to himself. It turned out that Marshal also liked to inquire about the gossip news.

Next, the two of them talked about everything. Alan had to admit that Capullo's knowledge was far superior to the people he knew. Probably only his grandfather Horn could compare to him. Even Windsor Belo was a bit lacking, especially in understanding the chaotic races. Capulo's experience was still valuable. After listening to his words, Allen was more useful than taking any class.

In this small compartment, Capulo displayed extraordinary control, almost controlling the rhythm of the entire banquet. All Alan could do was respond passively. If Capullo had this kind of control in the military field, no matter who was his opponent, it would be a headache. Alan believed that Capulo's control over the battlefield would only be stronger than at this moment.

This was what a legend should have.

The banquet ended when the last dessert disappeared from their mouths. Capulo watched Alan leave with a smile on his face from beginning to end. After returning to his residence, Alan sat alone for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile. Capulo's success shook his mind. Morally, he had no chance of accepting Capulo's invitation. But in terms of benefits, the Golden Lion did have more resources than Sirius. Joining the Golden Lion would only bring him more benefits, both personally and from his clan.

Capulo's strongest point was that he didn't feel like he had betrayed anyone by joining the Golden Lion in the slightest. Instead, he gave him a very beautiful blueprint. With him as a link, the old and new parties worked together.

But is that possible?

Alan smiled bitterly. This was beyond his expectations. The old and new factions were entangled, so how could one or two sentences be said clearly? All of a sudden, Alan remembered that Russen had taken him away from Blood Hawk Base with a tough and even arrogant method on Planet Nether Domain that day. Alan was shocked. Russen used to be Capullo's subordinate. With such a subordinate, it wasn't hard to imagine what the boss would look like.

In other words, it was possible that Capullo's friendly image of an elder was disguised tonight. Alan patted his face, remembering what Russen had done, and was even more certain of his thoughts. Perhaps Russen did that on that day, and Ken was instructed by Capullo. However, today was different from the past. Capulo changed his tough tactics and used the Huairou strategy. He almost wavered.

Although he didn't have any real evidence, Alan would rather trust his instincts.

It was the second day, and it was the day of the announcement of the merit points. The planetary hunting teams have been approved by the General Staff Headquarters and will be personally announced by Russen. However, it was said that Capulo would also be attending today. Half an hour before the official announcement, the Sunrise's battle hall was already filled with members of the hunting squad returning from various planets.

Alan only arrived at the meeting hall ten minutes before the start of the promulgation meeting. Apart from Hubble, who did not follow him, including Rena, all the members of the Pack of Wolves Hunting Group had arrived. When they entered the hall, there was a burst of secret discussion. After all, there were quite a few well-informed people among them. Knowing that Capullo had met Alan personally yesterday, it naturally attracted people's attention.
