Chapter 589: Framed
For nearly half a month, Babylon has come up and said that it is surging. On the floating islands, from wealthy families to ordinary nobles, all those who have a little strength at hand have their private armies drawn back from various battlefields. So for a while, not to mention Babylon, but to say that the dozen or so administrative districts on the surface that were still under federal control also increased their troops for a while. The number of armies of the aristocratic and wealthy families is naturally not comparable to the large and small legions of the federal government, but all of them are assembled, and there are 100,000 people.
Not to mention anything else, the private armies of the three giants alone, which army does not exceed 10,000 people. And this is not all their troops, which of the three giants does not have five or six colonial stars at hand, so naturally they can't transfer all their troops back. However, those who have gathered can be regarded as the elite among them, and their combat power cannot be ignored. Naturally, these armies could not be contained on Babylon, so they were all gathered on the surface.
For the turbulent surface of the earth, the sudden build-up of the army is on the side of the Federation, and it is also a real shock to the Freedom Gate. Soon, Liberty Gate issued a statement. The statement stated that due to the opening of the interstellar battlefield, although the Freedom Gate is not ready to participate, it does not want to hold the Federation back in this regard. Therefore, the war activities on the surface of the earth were temporarily suspended, and the interstellar battlefield was over before making any further plans.
This statement, on the surface, is that the door of freedom understands the general righteousness and does not take advantage of the opportunity to pick up leaks; In fact, it was a helpless move taken by the gathering of aristocratic armies, and at the same time, it also won a little respite for the continuous war. In the short term, the Freedom Gate truce is beneficial to both sides, and the Federation is naturally happy to accept it. Otherwise, a three-way war, even with the background of the federal government, is quite unbearable; In the long term, it will be another important turning point in dealing with the federal and liberty gates. During the period of the armistice, there are many actions that can be carried out, from communication and negotiation to intelligence spying, and the actions of both sides will certainly not be less than in wartime, but they will only turn from light to dark.
And these actions are related to the interests of countless people, and they will also bring a series of changes. As for the final outcome, even the leaders of both sides cannot predict.
However, the Freedom Gate truce is a good thing after all. At least the Federation and the nobility can prepare for war without being distracted.
On Babylon, there are many actions in the open and in the dark. In order to mobilize a group of nobles, President Mobile frequently haunts large and small banquets and meets with the patriarchs of various large families to strengthen friendship. On the other hand, the family moved more frequently than in the past, and gradually formed a clear camp. Some relatively weak families have moved closer to the big families they usually befriend in order to seek refuge. And the big families are willing to integrate their combat power and can achieve more military feats in the upcoming war.
Under the impetus of these aspects, countless interests have been shattered, and countless interests have been combined, thus forming a unique behavioral structure of human society.
In the afternoon, a speeding car left the castle of Ugal. This flying car has no driver, and Alan drives alone, and he can't be considered skilled yet, so he can only drive the flying car, and he can't play any tricks. As he left, two more family representatives came to the castle to meet with Horn. As Bethkode's ranking in Babylon rose steadily, the family absorbed more and more allies, and there was no longer a situation with which only one or two families were friendly except for the Mowson family.
There are now more than a dozen families attached to the Beth Kod tree, and Alan believes that this number will only increase with the launch of the new series of magical weapons. The development of interests, situation and other factors is quietly changing the loose structure of the aristocratic and wealthy families in the past. Especially with the rise of behemoths like Bethcord, those families who can't get on the stage can only gradually disappear if they don't choose to cling to them.
The rules of the game of big fish eating small fish are becoming clearer from the end.
The rise of family status is accompanied by the rise of the status of family members. And as one of the core members of Bethcord today, Allen is now receiving so much attention that even he himself could not have imagined. What he knew, that is, some of the representatives of the family who he met in public places, especially in the castle, looked at him with burning eyes as if he were looking at a beautiful woman with no clothes on.
This made Alan quite uncomfortable.
Unbeknownst to him, his name was already on the list of certain families to keep an eye on. And the priority of attention is only after Horn, along with the family elders. Often, these high-profile names either need to be wooed or must be eradicated. And whether it is co-opted or eradicated, it all represents one thing, that is, the value of the name owner.
For some big families, even the person who must be eradicated must have the value that he needs to eradicate. It's like when an ant passes by and you don't go out of your way to trample on it. If there is no value, you will not even be qualified to enter the sight of some big people.
Alan only felt that the whole of Babylon was surging, but he couldn't clearly know where each undercurrent was going.
The car eventually stopped in the parking lot of the Venus Hotel, and Leon had not yet returned to William's floating island to die, still living with Judy in a long-term suite at the Venus Hotel. Alan wants to talk to Leon about Judy again, and he decides that if Leon and Leon really love each other, then stick with them to the end.
But when I knocked on the door of the room, it was Judy who opened it. She was wearing a bathrobe casually, as if she had just taken a shower. His hair was still wet and his face was dripping with water. The length of the bathrobe was just up to her thighs, so a pair of legs with water droplets were reflected in Alan's eyes. The neckline was stretched open by the girl's well-developed twin peaks, and the deep furrow could be clearly seen. I have to say that this girl's figure is very material.
"It's you, Master Allen." Judy smiled sideways and let Alan in.
Alan stood at the door: "What about Leon?" ”
"He's just gone out for something, and he'll have to wait a while to come back."
"Alright then, I'll come back later." Eren was about to turn away.
"Wait." Judy suddenly exclaimed, "Master Allen, I have something I want to ask you. It's about Leon, so please tell me while he's gone. ”
In the hall, Alan chose a window seat to sit down. The afternoon sun brightened the whole living room, and things converged their colors in the golden sunlight, so that all Alan could see, his eyes were full of floating gold. Even Judy was no exception, she had already changed her clothes, and her wheat-colored skin was flowing with a faint golden glow in the sun, as if she had been coated with some gold powder.
"What do you want to know about Leon?" Alan looked at her and asked.
She wore a loose shirt that looked like Leon's. The corners of the garment are knotted in the belly, revealing the curvaceous bee waist. The lower body is wearing a tight short skirt, barefoot, which looks a little refreshing and playful. Judy hesitated, and said with ten fingers interlaced, "I don't know if he really loves me." After all, our identities are so far apart. ”
Hearing this, Alan was slightly stunned, and said in his heart, could the girl in front of him love Leon from the bottom of her heart? "I think you can feel that. If you really love each other. ”
"Master Allen must feel that I am with Leon because of his status. Right? Judy suddenly came up and asked.
Alan didn't know how to answer for a while, but she smiled: "Young Master Allen is really a person who can't lie, to be honest, you are much cuter than Leon like this." ”
Alan frowned secretly.
Judy stretched and stretched her infinitely beautiful waist in front of Alan: "At first, I did pay such attention. Leon is handsome and has status. Being able to sleep with him and be his woman, I don't have to live on the surface and live a precarious life. ”
"And now?" Alan asked lightly.
"Now?" Judy bit her lip and walked forward: "Now I feel that being with Leon may not be the best choice. ”
This is another unexpected answer.
"Oh? Why? Alan raised an eyebrow and asked.
Judy had already walked up to him, and she bent down, her long hair hanging down. Her shirt was so loose that the neckline was open when she bent over it, so that the scenery inside could be seen from Alan's angle. The beautifully shaped twin peaks, and a little red on the peaks, are all very clear. Judy's breath hit Alan's face softly, and she leaned too close.
"Now I think that Master Allen is a more suitable person. The moment I saw you last night, I realized that I already liked you. And I've heard that Master Alan is from the surface, don't you think we're more suitable? Judy said, unexpectedly. Sitting on top of Allen, he wrapped his hands around his neck and said, "Otherwise, I will break up with Leon and be with Young Master Allen." ”
Alan's eyes lit up, and his eyes were like electricity, piercing into Judy's eyes. Judy shuddered, the sunlight that filled the room suddenly became dim and pale, and she fell to the ground with a thud from the murderous aura in Alan's eyes. Alan slowly got up at this time, his eyes sparkling: "You really plan to use Leon!" ”
At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening from the other end of the living room, and Alan subconsciously looked at it. Judy on the ground took advantage of this time to tear open her shirt violently, and several buttons burst out and fell to the ground. When Leon walked in, he saw Alan standing in front of Judy, and the girl was torn in her shirt, and the twin peaks were standing proudly in the air. Suddenly, Leon's face was extremely gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”
Alan looked down and saw Judy on the ground like this, and knew that she had framed her. Before he could speak, Judy burst into tears and ran up to Leon and wept bitterly. She didn't say anything, but expressed everything she wanted to say with her actions. It's just that although the person is crying, there is a smile written on the face behind Leon.
