Three days later, a small flying ship landed on the tarmac of Fort Ugal. The Harrier Eagle frigate was painted with fog and fire, but it was Koba who arrived with the mercenaries hired by Allen.

Alan was notified in advance and waited on the tarmac with his core team early in the morning. On either side of Alan stood Regis and Lucy, and behind him were Willik and Bloy, who had returned from the surface. Today will be the day of the gathering of the old and new members, Bloy is expressionless, and Willik is a little looking forward to it, and even wants to compete with the newcomer.

The airship is moored and the deck is lowered. Koba was the first to get out of the hatch, and he laughed and said, "Master Allen, I've kept you waiting. It's really hard to find a place for these guys to go on vacation, and they almost smashed their signboards. ”

Koba jumped off the deck and yelled inside, "Get down, boys. Give Lao Tzu some rules, don't lose the face of our union. ”

"I heard it, your voice is so loud, I have to make your ears hurt every time." A man came out of it, wearing a long trench coat and carrying a silver suitcase. Wearing sunglasses, a golden skull stud earring on the ear beads reflects the morning sun. He raised his glasses and tied up his bangs in front of his forehead like a hair ring, and it was Belmode, who was agile and skilled in assassination and espionage.

Koba snorted, "When you get to the Outlands, you'll miss Lao Tzu's wonderful voice." Because such a sound can only be heard on earth. ”

Belmode tilted his head and said, "Come on, it's not like I haven't been to the Outlands, don't say I'm like a hillbilly...... Hey......"

He stumbled suddenly, and almost fell off the deck, Belmode turned sideways and shouted, "Damn Roy, why are you hitting me from behind, trying to make a fool of me?" ”

He screamed, but jumped to the ground, apparently Belmode didn't want to be bumped again. From behind him, an iron tower-like figure emerged, his short and strong hair pointed to the sky like steel thorns, and the light gray eyes on Fang Zhengyan's face looked at his companion intentionally or unintentionally. The man with the pitch-black hammer in one hand said insincerely, "I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be in front of me. ”

"Won't you take a detour!" Belmode protested.

Roy walked down and said, "Detour? What is that? ”

"A barbarian!" Belmode gritted his teeth and said.

Bloy, who was standing behind Allen, suddenly laughed, and Willik frowned: "Big man, why are you smiling so weirdly." ”

Bloy's gaze fell on Roy's warhammer and said, "Look, he uses the same weapon as me, and he really wants to fight me." ”

"Don't get excited all of a sudden, calm down, we're seniors!" Willik said, patting his chest.

The last to disembark from the airship were twin brothers.

Tang Ji and the end of the Tang Dynasty, Orientals, they look almost identical. The slight difference is that there is a mole under the corner of Tang Ji's eye that is so faint that it is almost invisible, and both of them are dressed in black suits, and they are lined up in a row when they get off the flying ship, with their hands behind their backs. The standing posture is so strong that people dare not ignore it. Their combat power is only level 15, and according to the information provided by Koba, the two brothers have joined forces to fight the enemy because of their heart-to-heart connection, regardless of whether the opponent is one or more people. The two of them are proficient in the art of combined strikes, and even Roy or Belmode are reluctant to fight the two brothers alone if they don't have to.

After the mercenaries all got off the ship, Koba stepped forward and handed a printed contract to Allen, which was considered to be the handover. Koba said, "Well, I'll leave these guys to you, Master Allen." ”

Alan nodded and stepped forward. He swept over the four of them and said, "You should all know who I am, but let's introduce myself." ”

"I'm Alan, and I'm your employer from this day forward. After the planet is coded, our hunting group will leave for the Outlands. The contract is for three years, and after three years, you can leave or renew at your discretion. Even though it's a mercenary relationship, I hope you can be part of the hunting group. If you do well, you'll be the backbone of what I need. When it comes to talent, Bescord has always been generous. Then you will find that you can earn more by staying with me than by being a mercenary. ”

"There aren't many rules in my hunting group, only one that can't be crossed. That's betrayal! Allen's chest straightened slightly, and the whole person immediately gave birth to a cold breath. The air around him seemed to have become a little drier, Belmode subconsciously licked his lips, and the Tang brothers had a few beads of sweat on their foreheads, only Roy's face was as usual. Alan saw it in his eyes and had a further understanding of the strength of several people, and he said lightly: "Once you choose to betray, then pray." Pray that you don't get hit by me, and then you will find that death is the best end. ”

Alan put away his breath and replaced it with a gentle smile: "And as long as it is my companion, no matter what form it is, I will not give up on you." Otherwise, you can also use all means to get revenge on me. ”

Belmode put down his suitcase, applauded and stepped forward, "Master Allen, it looks like you're going to be a good boss." It is a great honor to serve you, and I will strive to be a companion that you identify with. ”

He stretched out his hand to Allen, but a cold dagger suddenly rested next to his neck. Belmode's smile froze, and Alan smiled and said, "I heard Mr. Coba say it, Belmode." Unfortunately, I'm not used to carrying my wallet on my body. And if there's a next time, I'll chop your claws off. ”

Belmode's other hand had reached Alan's waist at some point, but he had to retract in a curt, and he whistled, "Chief, you are so alert. ”

"Of course, because I don't have a lot of money." Eren withdrew the demon salute and said, "Come with me, before you set off, I arranged a few rooms for you in the castle." ”

In the castle study, Horn withdrew his gaze. Next to him, Mr. Helsing brought him a cup of black tea: "Young Master Allen has recruited some good companions." ”

"Well, the fog fire union is of some quality, and they don't just prevaricate with people, even if they can do it." Horn smiled.

"I heard that the mercenary agent named Koba is a friend of Young Master Leon. Last time Young Master Leon went on an expedition, he also picked a few people from him. ”

"Leon, it's that little ghost." Horn laughed: "This little ghost did a good job, deliberately created a shape that was not good for himself, but he found out a lot of guys who hid deep enough, and there was a set." ”

"Speaking of scheming, Young Master Allen is still a little worse in this regard." Helsing said.

Horn nodded in agreement, "But Alan is taking a different path, you can tell by looking at his knife." When it comes to scheming, don't talk about Leon, he's a little worse than the goblins of the Mowson family. But Allen's domineering directness will eventually open up another world for him. I think this is also somewhat influenced by the little woman in Windsor Bello. ”

"Also, that marshal has always liked to be straightforward." Butler Hesin chuckled a few times.

Horn put away the smile on his face: "Compared to this, it seems that something big is going to happen tomorrow." ”

"Yes, sir, it's been decided, and tomorrow Liberty Gate will hold peace talks with President Mobile on Babylon."

Horn looked out the window and sighed, "I have a hunch that this meeting won't be so smooth." After all, there is no news from Alstair's side yet. ”

Early the next morning, Lady Liberty Harbor was overcrowded. In order to welcome the head of the Freedom Gate and to create a friendly atmosphere, the federal side organized a grand welcoming ceremony. A welcoming group of more than 10,000 Babylonian residents arrived at the port early, all holding flowers and smiling faces, making sure to achieve the best publicity.

After several successive meetings, the Federal Cabinet voted to deal with the issue of the Liberty Gate incident by peaceful means. Among them, in addition to the majority of the officials of the Lord and faction, it is also because the interstellar defense line has not had a moment of calm in the past two years. Under various pressures, President Mobit, who has always been resolute, also adopted this relatively moderate policy.

It's just that everyone who understands knows that it is impossible to solve the problem of floating islands and the surface of the earth in a single meeting. But at the very least, it's a good start.

The weather is fine today, and the sky is clear over Babylon. Everyone waited for a magical spaceship marked with the Freedom Gate motif, and two rows of frigates with federal forces in charge of security measures.

This fleet of airships emerged from the distant sky, quickly expanded in the eyes of the people, and headed in the direction of Liberty Harbor. As the line arrives over the harbor, people are already cheering, and some are even throwing bouquets into the sky. The bouquet spreads out as the delicate flowers drift down with the wind.

But at this moment, a conspicuous line of fire suddenly appeared in the sky. When he saw this fire belt, Mobit, who was standing in the harbor with a smile on his face, suddenly changed his face. The upheaval occurred, and several frigates on the right side of the fleet were hit squarely, exploded in the air, and turned into several balls of fire. Fragments of exploding metal flew with flames, and the crowd in the harbor froze and screamed.

In an instant, the port was in chaos.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the freeship of the Gate of Freedom turned around and left. At this moment, one of the airships acting as an escort suddenly left the team, and the high-energy cannon on the airship flashed several times, and several blue lightning flames broke through the air, hitting the tail engine of the Freedom Gate spaceship.

With a loud bang, the spaceship exploded. In the slowly rising fireball, huge parts of the spaceship continued to fall downwards wrapped around the flames. The firelight even illuminated the faces of the people in the harbor, and even brighter and darker Mobit's faces. The officials next to him all looked gray, as long as they weren't stupid, they knew what it meant.

Whoever attacked it was, the Freedom Gate shipboard was blown up, and the people inside were killed. The Federation and them no longer have any room for maneuver, and all that remains is all-out war! R1292
