Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty IX Framed
In the past half month, Babylon has come up to say that the situation is surging. On the floating island, from wealthy families to ordinary aristocrats, as long as they have some troops at hand, they will draw back the family's private army from various battlefields. So for a while, not to mention Babylon, but the dozen or so administrative districts on the surface that are still under the control of the Federation also saw a huge increase in troop strength. Naturally, the number of troops of the aristocratic and wealthy families is not comparable to the large and small legions of the federal government, but they are all assembled, and there are hundreds of thousands of people.
Not to mention anything else, just the private armies of the three giants, no army has more than 10,000 people. And this is not all of their troops, since any one of the three giants does not have five or six colonies on hand, naturally they cannot draw back all their troops. However, those assembled can be regarded as the elite among them, and their combat power cannot be ignored. Naturally, Babylon couldn't accommodate these armies, so they all gathered on the surface.
For the turbulent situation on the surface ```m, the sudden assembly of the army is on the side of the Federation, and it is also a real shock to the Gate of Liberty. Soon, Freedom Gate issued a statement. The statement pointed out that due to the opening of the interstellar battlefield, although Liberty Gate is not prepared to participate, it does not want to hold back the Federation in this regard. Therefore, all war activities on the surface are temporarily suspended, and we will not make any plans until the interstellar battlefield is over.
This statement, on the surface, is that the Gate of Liberty understands the righteousness and does not take advantage of the opportunity to pick up leaks; in fact, it is a helpless move taken by the gathering of the noble army, and at the same time, it is also a chance to breathe for the continuous war . In the short term, the truce statement of the Gate of Liberty is beneficial to both parties, and the Federation is naturally happy to accept it. Otherwise, a three-party war would be too much for the federal government, even with its background; and in the long run, it would be another important turning point for dealing with the Federation and the Gate of Freedom. During the period of the truce, there are many actions that can be carried out, from communication and negotiation to intelligence spying, the actions of both sides will definitely not be less than during the war, it is just that they have changed from open to covert.
And these actions are related to the interests of countless people, and what they will bring will be a series of changes. As for the final result, even the leaders of both sides cannot predict.
However, the truce at the Gate of Liberty is a good thing after all. At least the Federation and the nobles can prepare for the war without being distracted.
On Babylon, there are many overt and covert actions. In order to mobilize the nobles of the Federation, President Morbit frequently attends banquets and meets with the patriarchs of various big families to strengthen friendship. On the other hand, the movement between families has become more frequent than before, and a clear camp has gradually formed. Some relatively weak families moved closer to the big families that they had been friends with in order to seek shelter. The big families are happy to integrate their combat power, so that they can gain more military exploits in the upcoming war.
Under the impetus of all aspects, countless interests were shattered, and countless interests were combined together, thus forming a behavioral structure unique to human society.
In the afternoon, a flying car left Ugal Castle. There is no driver for this speeding car, and Allen drives alone. Since he is not yet a skilled driver, he can only drive the speeding car without any fancy tricks.
When he left, representatives of two more families came to the castle to meet Horn. As Bethkind's ranking in Babylon rose steadily, the family absorbed more and more allies, and it was no longer the case that there were only one or two families who had good relations with it except for the Mossen family.
Now there are more than ten families attached to the big tree of Bethkind. Allen believes that with the launch of the new series of magic weapons, this number will only increase. The development of factors such as interests and situation is quietly changing the former loose structure of aristocratic and wealthy families. Especially with the rise of behemoths like Bethkind, if those families who can't get on the stage don't choose to attach, they can only gradually disappear.
The rules of the game where big fish eat small fish are becoming clearer than ever.
The rise in family status is associated with the rise in the status of family members. As one of Bethkind's core members today, Allen is now receiving so much attention that even he himself can't imagine. What he knew was that when he was in public places, especially some family representatives he met in the castle, they looked at him with burning eyes as if they were looking at a naked beauty.
This made Allen quite uncomfortable.
What he didn't know was that his name had already appeared on the list of some families that needed attention. And the priority of attention is only after Horn, on the same level as the family elders. Usually these high-profile names either need to be wooed or must be eradicated. Regardless of whether it is to win over or eradicate, it all represents the same thing, that is, the value of the owner of the name.
For some big families, even those who must be eradicated must have value that needs to be eradicated. Just like an ant passing by, you wouldn't deliberately step on it to death. If it has no value, it doesn't even have the qualifications to be in the sight of some big shots.
Allen only felt that the whole of Babylon was surging, but he couldn't clearly know where each undercurrent was going.
The speeding car finally stopped in the parking lot of the Venus Hotel. Leon hadn't returned to William's floating island and was still living with Judy in the long-term suite of the Venus Hotel. Allen wanted to talk to Leon about Judy again, and he decided that if Leon and Leon really loved each other, he would stick to them to the end.
But when she knocked on the door of the room, it was Judy who opened the door. She was wearing a bathrobe casually, as if she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still wet, and her face was beaded. The length of the bathrobe just reached her thighs, so a pair of legs with water droplets reflected in Alan's eyes. The neckline is stretched by the girl's well-developed twin peaks, and the deep ravine can be clearly seen. It has to be said that this girl's figure is very predictable.
"It's you, Master Allen." Judy smiled and turned sideways to let Allen in.
Allen stood at the door: "Where is Leon?"
"He just went out for something, and he will come back later."
"Okay then, I'll come back later." Allen was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait." Judy shouted suddenly: "Master Allen, I have something to ask you. It's about Leon. Please tell me while he's away."
In the hall, Allen chose a seat by the window to sit down. The afternoon sun made the whole living room bright, and everything under the golden sunlight restrained its own color, so what Alan saw was full of floating gold. Even Judy was no exception. She had already changed her clothes, and her wheat-colored skin had a faint golden glow under the sun, as if she had been coated with gold powder.
"What do you want to know about Leon?" Allen asked, looking at her.
She was wearing a loose shirt that still looked like Leon's. The hem of the clothes was tied in a knot on the belly, revealing the curvaceous wasp waist. She wore a tight-fitting short skirt on her lower body, and she was barefoot, looking so refreshing and playful. Judy seemed hesitant, interlaced her ten fingers and said, "I don't know if he really loves me. After all, the difference in our identities is too far away."
Hearing this sentence, Allen was slightly taken aback, thinking that the girl in front of him loves Leon from the bottom of her heart? Immediately said: "About this, I think you can feel it. If you really love each other."
"Master Allen must think that Leon and I are together because of his status. Right?" Judy suddenly came up and asked.
Allen didn't know how to answer for a while, but she smiled: "Master Allen is really a person who can't lie. To be honest, you look much cuter than Leon."
Allen frowned secretly.
Judy stretched her waist and stretched her infinitely beautiful waist in front of Allen: "At the beginning, I really paid attention to this. Leon is handsome and has status. I can sleep with him , being his woman, I don’t have to live on the surface and live a precarious life.”
"What now?" Allen asked lightly.
"Now?" Judy bit her lip and walked forward: "Now I think being with Leon may not be the best choice."
This is another unexpected answer.
"Oh? Why?" Alan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Judy had already walked up to him, and she bent down, her long hair hanging down. The shirt on her body was too loose, so loose that when she bent over, the neckline opened, so the scenery inside could be seen from Ellen's angle. The beautifully shaped twin peaks, as well as the bright red on the peaks, are extremely clear. Judy's breath hit Allen's face lightly, and she was a little too close.
"Now I think that Master Allen is more suitable. The moment I saw you last night, I found that I already liked you. And I heard that Master Allen is from the surface. Don't you think we are more Is it suitable?" Judy said, she actually straddled Alan, put her hands around his neck and said, "Why don't I break up with Leon and be with Master Alan."
Allen's eyes were on fire, and his eyes were like lightning, piercing into Judy's eyes. Judy trembled all over, the sunlight that filled the room suddenly became dim and pale, and Alan's eyes rushed her murderously, and she fell to the ground with a bang. Only then did Alan get up slowly, his eyes sparkling: "You really plan to use Leon!"
At this moment, the sound of opening the door came from the other end of the living room, and Allen looked subconsciously. Judy who was on the ground took advantage of this time to tear off her shirt with all her strength, and a few buttons fell out and fell to the ground. So when Leon walked in, he saw Alan standing in front of Judy, while the girl's clothes were torn, and the twin peaks were standing proudly in the air. Immediately, Leon's face was extremely gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Allen lowered his head and saw Judy on the ground like this, so he knew he had been framed by her. Before he could speak, Judy burst into tears and ran behind Leon, weeping bitterly. She didn't say anything, but expressed what she wanted to say with actions. It's just that although the person was crying, there was a smile on the face behind Leon's back.
