Chapter 1323 My Pride

Roddy looked out the window at the night. That night, the night was as dark and deep as it is at this moment.

Looking out of the window, looking at it, the man's heart drifted back to that night a few days ago.

Since the completion of Ugal Castle, it has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, but it has never been as quiet and desolate as this moment. Luo Di was standing on the square in front of the castle. It used to be brightly lit and guests came and went. When the castle holds a banquet, it is called a lively event. The workers, chefs, guards, and their families who served the castle were gathered together, and there were more than 2,000 people, and a small town of Levin was formed.

This is the splendor of the castle, the splendor of Bethcord.

But now, the castle is dark and empty. Not only the ancient castle is like this, but the small town of Levin is also empty.

all gone.

Before Mobitt had a video conference with the heads of the various families, Rody dismissed the last group of Bethkind members. All the family guards were taken by him to escort the old and weak women and children in the town of the castle to leave, not only the ancient castle of Ugal, in fact, other families also sent their family members to the surface one after another, but it was not as straightforward as Bethkind That's all.

The only ones still staying in the castle are Rody, Huck, the butler Heising, and Hedrick. There are only four people left in such a huge castle, and even the cigar that Rody was smoking, the flame of the cigarette butt is full of loneliness.

Footsteps sounded out of place at this time.

Roddy frowned and turned around, but it was Horn and Anna who came in through the gate of the castle.

"Father?" Roddy strode forward.

Horn leaned on a cane, looked at the dark castle and said, "Since the day our ancestors built the castle, this castle has never been so bleak."

Roddy sighed, "I should have discussed it with you first."

"What are you discussing?" Horn laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Rody on the shoulder and said, "You are the head of the family now, and I agree with any decision. You don't need to discuss anything with me. Roddy, Horn's The era has passed, now is the era of your young people. You wait here, I will go in and meet the remaining few people, and then"

"Let's just let it go and do it."

Horn strode into the main building of the castle. After a while, there were exclamations and suppressed cries from the building.

Roddy grinned stupidly, jumped in front of a speeding car and sat down without any image of the owner at all.

By the way, he tore off the two button buttons on the neckline, then looked at Anna and said, "Aren't you going back?"

"Master also asked me to go back, but Murphy has already moved to the complete place, and now I need me more here." Anna folded her arms around her chest, then lowered her head and said: "I am destined not to be a qualified mother."

Rody smiled and said: "I'm not a qualified father either, and I didn't discipline Reina much when I was young. But now I'm glad that kid is not on Earth. I heard that he was going to come back. Fortunately, Fording replaced him. I held him down."

"Isn't Fording coming back?"

"He wanted to come back, but I didn't agree." Rody shrugged and said, "Someone has to guard the way out."

Anna said "hmm" and didn't speak again. At this time Horn came out from the castle, Huck and Heissing followed behind him, Horn gestured to Anna: "You send them away, Anna, their safety is in your hands."

"Master!" How could Anna not know that if she agreed, she would never even think about returning to Babylon.

Horn shook his head, not allowing her to refuse. Anna could only sigh in a low voice, and took Huck and the two into the speeding car and left. Rody glanced at one of the still lit rooms in the castle, frowned and said, "What about him?"

"I originally wanted him to leave and leave the family completely. What he wants to do in the future is none of my business." Horn's expression became complicated: "But he doesn't want to leave. If this is the case, I won't force him. .”

Roddy thought for a while and said, "That fellow Heydrick, in the final analysis, he wants you to pay more attention to him. Since he was a child, no matter where he is, he has always stood in the most dazzling position. Because in There, you can see him at a glance. Just"

Horn glanced at the window that was still lit, then sat on the hood of the car like Rody, nodded towards the castle with the walking stick with the famous knife Qiu Yan hidden in it, and said, "When I was young, I always thought that I could do anything. That's right. I'm the strictest on you, because you are the eldest son, and you feel that you should bear everything, even the burden of your younger siblings. So I'm the strictest on you, and even the most dangerous things That's up to you. Roddy, did you ever annoy me for this?"

Luo Di smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Sometimes I do have this kind of thinking, especially when I am a kid. At that time, I was thinking about father, you are partial, let alone the younger sister and the fourth child. Even the second child He is also better than me, so the third child suffers bitterly and suffers with me."

"I'm really biased." Horn admitted: "You are the eldest son, and the talent of the third child is beyond my surprise. Don't look at him keeping silent, in fact, he broke through the 30th level earlier than you."

"Damn it, I knew that kid must be hiding something." Rody slapped his thigh: "I said there's no reason that even I have passed level 30, and that kid is still spinning around at level 27 or 8." , It’s hidden really deep, third child.”

"The third child always looks unreasonable, but there are some things he can't say, but he will do. This is exactly the opposite of the fourth child, the fourth child." Horn suddenly spread his palm to Roddy: " Give me one."

Roddy took out a cigar with pain on his face and said, "This is the last one, smoke it slowly."

Horn couldn't help but tapped his big head lightly with his crutch: "You've become stingy after becoming the head of the house, you bastard."

Roddy giggled.

Horn took a puff of his cigar, puffed out a smoke ring and said, "I placed too many wishes on my fourth son, especially after Lanni left, I almost placed my expectations on Lanni on him as well. If the fourth child will come to this point today, besides his own distorted ambition, I also have a responsibility. It is because I expect too much from him that he must have some kind of illusion."

"Some kind of delusion that I am my father's favorite child"

"Father." Luo Di wanted to comfort the old man, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to an end, so he could only pat his thigh.

Horn smiled and shook Roddy's big hand, and continued: "You also know that what I love most is Lanny. Because she is the last baby your mother left for me. Lanny is not yet three years old. You My mother left. At that time, she didn't even understand what it means to lose her mother. Every time I see her immature face, I can't help but want to cry, especially when she wakes up in the middle of the night crying to find her mother time. But she has lost her mother, poor child."

"But I can't cry, I can't even be sad. Because I am the head of the family, I must be as hard as steel, so as not to let our enemies take advantage of it. So you are all afraid of me. At that time, I always kept a straight face. Only at night, when you are all asleep, can I smile when I sneak a glance at you. I have sworn more than once that I will use all my strength to protect Lani and you. But in the end, Lani still left me , and then quietly left this world at a night that I don't know about."

"She was still so young, and she should have lived longer and longer than me. When I found Allen, I blamed myself more than once. If I was not so proud at that time, if I was willing to let go of a little dignity, then now , whether the ending will be different. But "Horn looked up at the deep sky like ink: "It's all in the past. The past, no matter how much you regret it, can't be undone."

"Father, don't talk about it." Rody held the old man tightly and said, "Little sister won't hate you, and Ellen is the same. That kid respected and loved you from the bottom of his heart, when he thought you were killed. His sadness, his I can clearly feel the anger. With such a son, it can be seen that as a mother, Lan Ni also respects and loves you from the bottom of her heart!"

Horn took a deep breath, nodded and said, "That's right, no matter Lanny or you, or Huck, you are all my pride, forever proud."

Roddy trembled all over, he had to restrain himself desperately, so as not to let the surging emotion in his chest explode. Then, an inexplicable sense of oppression fell on him.

Horn's eyes turned from warm to cold, and he snorted coldly: "Here we come."

Roddy looked up.

The night sky is still gloomy, and the thick lead clouds are nothing but darkness. But in the darkness, there was a faint whistling sound. Suddenly a little flame flashed in the darkness, and then the flame became more and more intense, and finally a stream of fire burst out through the clouds, across the night sky, and slanted towards the distance.

It was a downed fighter plane.

More flames lit up in the clouds, and the flames dispelled the darkness. Even if one is on the ground, one can still see behind the lead cloud covering the entire night sky, there are continuous flashes of fire, and even more explosions one after another.

Suddenly a hurricane blowing from nowhere blew away the clouds.

Rody's pupils contracted, and above the sea of ​​clouds, the warships of both sides were moving back and forth, and the sky was filled with light and rain. Every second, there was a picture of the spaceship exploding, which was faithfully reflected in Rody's eyes. It turned out that when they were chatting, the battle between the Nirms and the Earth Federation had already been staged at high altitude. And above the high-altitude battlefield, a shadow is expanding.

That's the Nirm Star Destroyer!

The Star Destroyer, which is almost as large as the whole of Babylon, is entering the interior of the planet, so there is a circle of fire around the shadow. It is a vision caused by the friction of the starship through the atmosphere. Seeing that it is coming menacingly, it is completely directed at Babylon of.

The warships fighting life and death in the sky, whether they like it or not, have to stay away from the orbit of the Star Destroyer. Otherwise, without the Star Destroyer firing, the propelling airflow alone would be enough to cause the battleship to fall out of control. At this time, all the weapon platforms on Babylon have entered the charging stage, and the rising energy is so huge that even ordinary people can feel it.

Of course, there are no civilians in Babylon now, and what is still left is either the army or the strong and fierce men of the major families!
