Adele was sleeping on the back seat of a car with a sniper rifle in her arms. Of course, this "bed" was not comfortable, so she could hardly fall asleep throughout the night. When the garage door was knocked, Adele was the first to react. Her petite body bounced in the narrow compartment with unimaginable agility, and then showed the amazing softness of her body. She stretched her legs flat on the door, her upper body was straight, and Li Xiao was placed on the front seat, standing straight Facing the gate, this is a ready-to-shoot pose.
Edward walked towards the door, knocking on the door without rhythm, obviously it was not the old man Gao Shanying outside. If it was the old man whose code name was Eagle, he would have struck out a unique code. Edward made a gesture, and Regis and Laura lay in ambush on the left and right sides of the door, while Belmode was facing the main entrance. Fog and fire continued to emerge from under his feet, diffused in the garage space, and even the light was affected. The fog and fire affected it and made it dark.
At this time, a gentle man's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss Adele, and Master Regis. Are you inside? Please open the door. I am Mirren, the adjutant of Marshal Tanlang."
Adele was startled, she pushed open the car door and walked out, looking at Regis. The latter nodded, and Adele took a breath and said, "Open the door. If he has malicious intentions, a door can't stop a federal general."
Edward opened the door, and there was a man standing outside the door. He was wearing casual clothes, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose obscured the outline of his eyebrows, but through the lenses, he could see a pair of gentle eyes behind him. He nodded, got into the garage and said, "Fortunately, I finally came in time..."
"You're here to help, aren't you?" Adele asked.
Mirren spread his hands and said: "This is exactly the task assigned to me by Marshal Windsor Bello. Everyone, I am here for Master Allen just like you. The situation is very bad. Before I return to Earth, I asked Red Wolf to collect relevant information. Information. It happened that you were looking for the assistance of the Alpine Eagle, and we intercepted the information that you planned to sneak back to Babylon, so I was able to find you here in time. Listen to me, Babylon is now loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the eyeliners of the Federal Intelligence Service are closely watching With their respective ports of landing, official and illegal, everything is under their surveillance."
"I can guarantee that when you arrive in Babylon, you will be greeted by soldiers from the Iron Fist Legion."
Adele frowned and said, "Even you can't do anything?"
"It's not impossible, but you don't have to sneak back to Babylon, because Allen is not on the floating island at the moment." Mirren raised his glasses with his hand: "Your Excellency has done an excellent job of keeping the information about Allen confidential. , can’t get any news from the outside world. But they overlooked one point, our red wolf is quite good at network intrusion. Technical development in terms of technology. But no matter what, this time it is a great help... "
"The red wolf found a video in the federation's internal database. The location is located in a secret port of the federation. In that video, we saw some things that happened when Alan arrived in Babylon. We have confirmed that Alan returned to Babylon Afterwards, he was taken over by General Fendi of the Iron Fist Legion and taken to the federal prison on Earth... Iron Prison!"
"Federal prison?" Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "Alan is not a prisoner!"
"Yes, I think so too. From all indications, President Morbit himself is violating federal laws,
It seemed that he was going to dig out some secrets from Allen. Otherwise, there is no need to deliberately hide it from the outside world and take Allen to the Iron Prison. "
Adele took a step forward and said, "General Mirren, can you give me the video you found?"
"What does Miss Adele mean?"
"If this video is made public, we can unite all the nobles to put pressure on Mobit. He must let Alan go. Even if Alan committed any crime, he must have a chance to have a public trial, instead of being given a trial like this. Secretly sent to Iron Prison!" Adele's eyes were obviously filled with anger.
Mirren sighed: "That's why I can't give you the information, Miss Adele."
"Why!"
"I can understand your mood, and I also know that once this information is made public, President Morbit will have to release Alan. But have you ever thought about it, the relationship between the Federation and the nobles is already tense, if this information is released at this time The video may cause the internal division of our Earth Federation, which is much worse than the influence of the Gate of Freedom. And I believe that this is just Mobit's personal behavior. Miss, you are going to cause the entire Federation to fall apart because of Mobit alone Is it? There are many people who don’t know about this matter, and they shouldn’t bear the consequences for Mobit alone, what do you think?”
"It's the big picture again." Adele said angrily, "I've had enough of your so-called big picture! What kind of shit can't come in handy!"
Mirren looked helpless.
Edward pulled Adele and said: "Calm down, miss. General Mirren is right. Compared with Idahua Star and other advanced civilizations, the earth is just in its infancy. It is still young and needs time to grow. Now the split of the Federation is of no benefit to anyone. And I believe that since General Mirren came to us on his own initiative, he should have a plan to rescue Allen without affecting the split of the Federation. Is that so, General Mirren?"
Mirren clicked: "There is a rescue plan, but I don't have enough manpower here, so I need your help."
Adele pushed Edward away, and said in a deep voice to Mirren: "Then hurry up, every minute we delay, Alan's danger will increase by one point!"
"Follow me." Mirren got out of the garage and said, "I have informed Gao Shanying that he will stop your activities related to sneaking back to Babylon. In the following plan, you have no identity. Even if you die in battle, It’s just a certain surface mercenary, and the Sirius Legion will not bear any responsibility for it, do you hear me clearly?”
Edward glanced at everyone and said on behalf of everyone: "We understand."
The sun gradually rises.
At nine o'clock, more than 80% of the floating island space on Babylon can enjoy the brilliant sunshine. Horn was sitting in his private flying car, the sunlight filtered through the window, casting a dark shadow on the seat beside him. Half an hour later, he arrived at the family's Mowu development base. And all of this has been faithfully recorded by the ubiquitous federal road monitoring systems. Some eyes are closely watching Horn's whereabouts through this system.
Moments later, a van left the base. According to the records of the Federation, this truck will deliver the research consumables of the base for one day on time every morning. Its driving time,
The route is like this almost every day. Today is no exception. The truck follows a regular route, and the road monitoring system tracks its whereabouts. Nothing is abnormal. After the truck entered a tunnel, the monitoring screen tracking the truck flickered, and there was even no screen at all for about two seconds. Due to the influence of the special environment of the tunnel, the signal transmission of the monitoring system will always have poor reception. People who are responsible for observing these images have become accustomed to it. But they didn't know that today was a bit special. Just two seconds after the monitoring system lost the picture, the truck compartment in the tunnel opened, and a speeding car got out of it and left in the opposite direction.
Horn was in the flying car, and Alstair was also in the car. Looking at the signal jammer in the hands of the fat minister, Horn smiled and said, "When will it take so much trouble for you and me to meet each other?"
"It's different now, old friend." Alstair moved his body and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
"It's too wasteful for you not to be a spy." Horn joked. You must know that the fat minister in front of him arranged for him to arrive at the base, then change to a truck, and finally take a speeding car to leave in the tunnel. Horn was very curious, what made him so cautious.
Alstair rolled his eyes: "Forgive me, if it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, I wouldn't be in such trouble. Now let's talk about business, old friend. I really hope I don't have to tell the news myself."
Horn understood the unusual meaning in the minister's tone, he sat up straight and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Alan is back."
No matter how imaginative Ren Horn was, he never expected that Alstair would tell such a seemingly ordinary news. But if this news is connected with the minister's cautious actions, it will be unusual. Horn had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still asked calmly, "Did something happen to him?"
"Yes." Alstair nodded with a wry smile: "He asked President Morbitt to secretly recall him, and he was taken to the iron prison on the surface by General Fendi. There is no news at present."
"Secret recall? Iron Prison?" Horn said in a deep voice, "When will the Federation start monitoring our Bethkind communication network?"
This is obvious. If the communication network hadn't been monitored, Horn believed that Allen would send back relevant information in advance instead of waiting for Alstair to tell him now. The fat minister sighed: "It's not news that the Federation has been monitoring the major families. It's just that His Excellency the President has interfered too much this time, which will make you look like a blind man who doesn't know Alan's situation at all."
"Very well, then why did he arrest Alan?"
"I don't know about this, I just know that Mr. President seems to want to discover some secrets from Allen." Alstair grabbed Horn's hand vigorously: "If you trust me, don't ask me the source of the news. In short , Mobitt has authorized Fendi, except that Alan’s life cannot be injured, the experimenters of Iron Prison can conduct all experiments they deem necessary on Alan. I was very angry when I heard the news, Mr. President It's a test of the law. But you also know that this matter is complicated and has far-reaching consequences. So I hope you must think carefully before taking any action."
Horn looked out the window and said in a deep voice, "I know, thank you for everything you have done, Alstair."
