At this moment, the unique roar of the ship's engine sounded above everyone's heads. A small flying ship painted with the military insignia of the Rose Empress hovered over Kobo and then slowly descended into the air. Adele didn't have the heart to argue with Regers immediately, her heart fluttered and beat hard, and she even pinched the corners of her skirt a little nervously.

Alan has finally arrived!

The roar of the engine was faint, and finally the pale blue flame at the tail was completely extinguished. The ship's hatch clicked softly, moved outward, and then hung down towards the ground, forming a deck. The figure in the slightly dimly lit cabin swayed, and a figure came out first. The silver hair was bathed in the Babylonian sun, flowing with a dazzling sheen.

Adele heard her heart pound.

The first to get off the airship was naturally Allen, who hadn't seen him for two years, and he had matured a lot. After experiencing the test of war, those ruby eyes would light up from time to time, like a sharp blade out of the sheath, making everyone who touched it feel cold. His figure has also risen a little taller, if it weren't for the faint childishness of a teenager on his face, the whole person would already be no different from a young man of seventeen or eighteen.

Seeing the people in the clearing, Allen's eyes softened, diluting the sharp edge. He strode off the ship and walked towards the crowd with open arms: "I'm back." ”

Horn laughed and greeted him: "Alan, you've grown taller, grandpa......"

At the end of the words, he suddenly hugged Allen. Horn, he hadn't felt such a powerful hug for a long time. There were many things to say to be hugged by Alan, but in the end he only spit out one sentence: "Welcome home, Alan." ”

Alan let go of Horn, knowing that he had been impulsive just now, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, grandpa." I ......"

"No, I loved the hug just now, it's more direct than any language." Horn smiled faintly.

Alan nodded, and gave the butler Helsing the same powerful hug. Hai Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "The young master has become stronger. ”

Then he stepped out of the way, giving Alan to the man behind him.

"Alan! Let's duel, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. When he saw Allen, Regers shouted.

Seeing his serious appearance holding the sword, Alan smiled and said, "Not today." Another day, don't cry and beg for mercy. ”

Regers replied, "It's hard to say who will cry then." ”

Jin Liancheng came out at this time, the son of this oriental nobleman was wearing a long shirt and wide sleeves, which was quite ancient. He pulled Alan over and smiled, "It's good to see you come back, I'm really afraid that you will be slaughtered by the sword demon." ”

"Is Leon back?" Alan asked.

Jin Liancheng shook his head and said, "The Underworld Star you go to only has more than ten hours a day, so you have to come back early." The planet Leon went to had a similar speed of time as Earth, so it was the same two years, but he wouldn't be able to come back until later. ”

Seeing a trace of worry drifting through Jin Liancheng's eyes, Alan asked in a deep voice, "Leon is in trouble?" ”

"It's hard to say, but in the last call, he seemed to have broken up with Paul's brother. I don't know how it turned out either, now is not the time to say this. Rest well today, and we'll have a good time together tomorrow night at dusk. Jin Liancheng smiled faintly, flicked his wide sleeves, and stepped back: "Meet Adele, she misses you very much in the two years you haven't been here." I almost couldn't pronounce my ears out of the cocoon. ”

"What do you say! Mix...... Damn, I'll settle accounts with you again. Adele, whose voice was already an octave higher, suddenly remembered her ladylike appearance today, so she could only lower her voice and stare at Jin Liancheng hatefully before looking at Allen.

Alan's eyes lit up.

Adele is wearing a gorgeous black and white dress today, a dress designed by a famous artist, simple and noble. She was even more beautiful than she had been two years ago, and her breasts, which had shown a curvature, became the most striking focus of the whole body under the clever design of the gown. In particular, Adele's brown hair was pulled up high, and she wore a delicate necklace around her snow-white neck, on which the ruby called "Fairy Tears" was falling on her white chest, which made it difficult to turn your eyes away.

Alan showed a row of snow-white teeth, as if carrying the sunshine in the sky, revealing this warm smile: "Adele, are you okay?" ”

Adele's unprecedented little face was crimson, and she was usually sharp-toothed, but at this moment she stammered: "I'm fine, Ai, Alan...... What about you? ”

"I ......"

A head suddenly popped up behind Allen, and two golden ponytails immediately jumped into Adele's black and white eyes. She watched dumbfounded as a tall girl grabbed Allen's arm intimately, and then said with a grin, "Is this also your friend Ellen?" Tell me about it. ”

Adele immediately stood on the spot like a petrified.

After a moment, he suddenly roared: "Who is this?" Alan, you bastard, didn't you go to the Underworld? How did you bring back a woman of unknown origin! ”

A certain "unknown" woman replied: "Who's unknown, you dwarf!" ”

"Short...... Dwarf?! Adele finally showed her true colors, and shouted with her teeth and claws: "You, a woman of your age, think that you can pretend to be cute by tying two ponytails?" I'm going to tear off your hypocritical face! ”

"A handful...... Age! Obviously, these four words were extremely lethal to Lucy, and the royal daughter of Adahuaxing almost spewed flames from her mouth and burned the girl in front of her in one go.

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

Alan and Jin Liancheng hurriedly pulled the two angry girls away, so they had a welcome party and became a little chaotic.

Horn and Helsing stood aside with a smile, looking at the energetic young men.

Helsing beckoned Lucy, Adle and others to rest in the castle. At noon, a small welcome banquet is held in the castle, and the participation is limited to a few members of the family and Allen's friends. As for Alan, he and Horn went to the study.

Alan and Horn briefly recounted their experiences on the Netherworld for the past two years, and when they heard that Russon had left them in the Shadow Fortress with a near-seizure method, Horn snorted heavily, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Russon's approach. After Allen finished speaking, Horn sighed, "In the two years that you have been away, many things have happened in Babylon. ”

There were indeed several great events in Babylon.

First, last year, several surface administrative regions openly declared their independence and rejected federal administration. They formed an alliance called the Gate of Freedom. After several fruitless negotiations between the Federation and the Liberty Gate, war was declared. This has a great impact on President Möbit, and if this matter cannot be handled in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will affect the next presidential election.

However, the gates of freedom are not so easy to solve. The elements of their alliance were very vengeful, and in addition to some officials from the original administrative districts, some declining nobles joined them. Although these nobles no longer have great strength, their talents in other areas have had a profound impact on the Liberty Gate.

After the Federation decided to settle the matter by means of war, Liberty Gate was quick to respond. They said they would fight for independence, but they also refused to go to war, because that would bring even greater disaster to the people of other lands. This response was undoubtedly supported by people in other districts, and taking advantage of this momentum, Freegate promoted it and incited more people to join their group.

In this way, if the Federation starts a war hard, it will only push itself to the forefront and become the target of public criticism. It can be seen that this wave of independence will not subside in the short term, and the contradiction between the surface and the floating island has also completely exploded through this wave.

The second is related to the overactive shape of the seven powerful clans in the Yotun Star Field in recent years. The constant attacks on the interstellar defense by the Nirm and Kidd have forced the Federation to increase its military budget to meet the needs of the interstellar defense. The war in the interstellar defense line has affected not only the federal government, but also the major families, the most obvious of which is the significant increase in taxes in the past two years.

Under pressure from the aliens, Mobile also began to try to smooth out the contradictions between the old and new parties, prompting them to start a preliminary cooperation. But it's not Mobile that's playing a key role, it's Windsor Bello. After the front line reported that General Greedy Wolf had killed the Kidd powerhouse Silver Spider Sidi in one fell swoop, General Kapro, who had been avoiding the cooperation between the old and new parties, finally responded.

His Golden Lion will detach a portion of his forces to the interstellar defense line to assist Sirius in strengthening its defenses. If that's all there is to it, the key is Caplo's statement that the legions going to the interstellar defense line will be under the command of Windsor Bello.

This is undoubtedly a signal.

With Capro's glaring hint, the diehards of the old party were converted. Among them, the one that benefited the most was Bescord's magic factory. The number of orders in the new quarter has increased several times. Moreover, the Raging Fire Rifle and the Fortress of Honor designed by Allen will be officially promoted to the entire Federation army under the order of Mobile.

Under the pressure of the alien powerhouses, and the trend of cooperation between the old and new parties. Even though this mandate would affect the interests of many people, no one dared to oppose it.

At least on the surface.

As for the Grant family, in the name of funding the sequence master Lawrins, they opened the magic weapon factory, preparing to compete with Bethcord for the delicious big cake of magic weapons; Or the Smith family, which has always remained neutral, recently said that it would let the bullets of the younger generation of the family enter the chaotic battlefield to increase their experience; For example, in the past two years, Bescord has climbed all the way in terms of fame and strength, and has entered the ranking of the family this year. This made the Alexander family like a man, and recently the patriarch Main announced an alliance with the Grant family to deal with Bethcord and so on, let Horn simply take it.

Alan listened and took a deep breath. The shape of Babylon was unpredictable, far beyond his imagination. R1058
