After seeing off Admiral Adams, Earl Brooks walked to David's side softly with small steps.
"Great Lord Arthur, Baron De Ward wants to see you!" Earl Brooks said with a bow.
The fact that David came to Battle Star and killed the energy clone of the fifth-level Zerg 'Half-length Spider Queen' outside Battle Star has already spread throughout the God World and Star Federation on Battle Star in a short period of time. high level.
As the head of intelligence, Baron De Ward was naturally the first to receive the news, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.
Since Lord Arthur left Battlestar last time, Baron Devold's life has become easier, and the attitudes of all parties in Battlestar towards him are constantly changing.
At the beginning, because Baron De Ward took refuge in Lord Arthur with unlimited potential, all parties no longer made things difficult for Baron De Ward, and some work would actively cooperate.
Then came the news of Lord Arthur, becoming a fifth-level Templar, killing a fifth-level priest who had been rampant for thousands of years, etc. These news made Baron De Ward's status even higher.
Now on the battle star, any knight or nobleman has expressed enough enthusiasm for Baron De Ward, even the fifth-level Templar is no different.
So when he heard that Lord Arthur came to Battle Star again, Baron De Ward immediately came to see him. This is an attitude and also conveys the status of Baron De Ward to the outside world.
"Let him in!" David said, waving.
"Yes, Lord Arthur!" Earl Brooks bowed and retreated.
This job should be done by the butler of Earl Brooks, but he will not let go of this opportunity to get in close contact with Lord Arthur, even if others want this opportunity.
"My lord, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet me!" Baron De Ward walked into the reception room alone, and said with a big gift.
Baron De Ward is different from other nobles. This is a nobleman who has taken refuge in David. He is regarded as David's vassal in terms of status, and his greetings when meeting him will be more respectful.
"Baron De Ward, sit down!" David waved to help Baron De Ward.
Baron De Ward took advantage of the momentum and sat down on the lower chair.
David smiled and looked at Baron De Ward, an old man who had been well informed. After taking the 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup', he looked younger. It is estimated that this is the main reason for Baron De Ward's loyalty.
Although the 'Holy Water of Immortality' also has the effect of prolonging life, the diluted 'Holy Water' only restores the body of ordinary people, which is too different from the level of 'Indestructible Life Force', adding a trace of 'Eternal Life Force' 'Heart-warming lotus seed soup' is simply not the same for ordinary people in terms of youthfulness and longevity.
Most importantly, the effect of 'Holy Water of Immortality' will plummet if you drink too much.
"You have done a good job recently, and let me understand the situation of Battlestar and the Interstellar Federation. I am very satisfied!" David said with a smile, looking at Baron Devold.
"It is my duty to serve you!" Baron Devold was happy in his heart, but his face was even more respectful.
"Here is a bottle of potion, you can drink it here!" David pondered for a while, took out a bottle of alchemy potion and said.
Baron De Ward hardly hesitated, he took the alchemy potion bottle, and drank the potion in the potion bottle without even asking.
He knew very well in his heart that Lord Arthur had no reason to harm him, and if Lord Arthur wanted to harm him, with the strength he showed today, it would not be so complicated.
After the medicine entered his stomach, a warm current spread from the inside to the outside. Baron De Ward felt that his body was becoming younger. This feeling was very strange, as if time had flowed backwards on him.
What David took out was just a bottle of healing potion, but he added a little 'indestructible vitality' to it. After his precise calculation, this 'indestructible vitality' could make Baron De Ward twenty years younger.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your gift!" Baron Devold said as he prostrated himself on the ground excitedly as he felt the changes in his body.
"This is a reward for your hard work in the recent period. I will use my meritorious service when I go back this time to elevate you to the first rank of title. Do things for me well, and you will find that what you get is beyond your imagination!" Wei did not go to help Baron De Ward this time, but just said lightly.
What David said might not be clear to Baron De Ward, but Baron De Ward can feel the youth of his body, and he seems to have returned to his prime.
Baron De Ward sat back in his seat, his complexion was ruddy and his skin was moist, not at all like an old man should be.
What's more remarkable is his pair of eyes. Eyes are the most obvious sign of a person's age. For a person like him who has experienced vicissitudes, his eyes have become a little cloudy, but now his eyes are clear and bright.
Compared with taking 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup' last time, Baron De Ward's changes are even greater this time.
"The information from Battle Star must be sent to me in time. The invasion of Zerg in the chaotic star field is likely to weaken the control of the God Attribute World over Battle Star. Whether it is the Zerg or the Interstellar Federation, or even within us, we must do it. Good supervisory role, I will authorize you, and I will also let the Tao Heti Templars cooperate with your work!" David confessed in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord!" Baron Devold's eyes flickered, which enhanced the power in his hands, allowing him to extend the intelligence network to the interior of the great world of the gods of Battle Star.
In the past, Baron De Ward's intelligence network was aimed at the Interstellar Federation and had no power to investigate the knights and nobles of the Battle Star.
With David's order, Baron De Ward's status in Battle Star has improved a lot compared to before, and even became the existence second only to Earl Brooks.
Baron De Ward was extremely excited. He liked power, otherwise he would not still be in control of the intelligence organization at this age.
He felt that the most correct thing he did was to turn to Lord Arthur, who gave him more power and was going to help him exchange for a first-class title.
Baron De Ward walked out of the reception room. Earl Brooks, who was waiting outside the door, shrank his eyes. Earl Brooks saw the obvious changes in Baron De Ward. This kind of youth visible to the naked eye is only possible after taking the treasures of heaven and earth. achieve.
Baron De Ward left under the envious eyes of Earl Brooks, and there were still many people visiting David on his side.
Origin Star, the President's Office is holding a small-scale high-level meeting.
There were not many participants, and there were only two parties. One was dominated by President Barnard, and the other was dominated by Generalissimo Andre. They each brought their own cronies.
"Generalissimo, what's your opinion on sending troops to assist the Great World of God?" President Barnard asked politely.
Since President Barnard just took office not long ago, due to David's operation, President Barnard's power has been almost completely lost, and he has been extremely low-key recently.
If Marshal Andre hadn't needed to negotiate with the federal government about dispatching troops, he wouldn't have had any contact with President Barnard.
"According to the alliance agreement between the Divine World and the Federation, and the fact that the Divine World has sent powerful knights to assist us many times, this time we must immediately send troops to assist the Divine World to fight against the Zerg, otherwise the ten thousand year alliance agreement is very likely It will be ruined because of this incident!" Marshal Andrei is well aware of the consequences of this incident if it is not handled properly.
If he hadn't wanted to break face with the federal government, Generalissimo Andre would have directly ordered troops to go to the Divine World to guard the star.
"Staff Drummond, what do you think?" President Barnard didn't express his thoughts immediately, he turned his head and asked Drummond's staff beside him.
President Barnard has no one to rely on. Although he has a scandal with Drummond's staff, he still needs the help of Drummond's staff.
"President Barnard, Your Excellency the Generalissimo, the Divine World's request for help this time needs to be defended against the guardian star. I have made a simple map based on the information!" Drummond's staff said while opening the President's Office light curtain.
On the light curtain appeared a map of the Great World of God from Tula Star to Guardian Star, as well as the border, and marked the general location of the space gate.
These are all gathered through various intelligence, and they are not secrets.
"Please see that this is the space gate. Zergs enter from here, and then divide into two groups, attacking Tula star all the way, and attacking the guardian star all the way. The request made by the Great World of God is to let us defend the guardian star, so that means we need How much will it cost us to send troops to defend half of the Zerg's attack?" Drummond's staff talked eloquently, with a gesture of pointing the country.
"Drummond's staff, there will be five-level Templars in the divine world to cooperate with us in defense. Besides, according to the Zerg's desire for resources, there is only one poor planet guarding the star, compared with Tula and countless rich planets behind. , How could the Zerg be treated with the same combat power!" Marshal Andre said in a deep voice.
"Anyway, I am supported by the opposition army. The Zerg and the Divine World are very powerful. The result of their mutual struggle is the Federation's benefit!" Drummond's staff said his opinion with a smile Opinion.
It is obvious that the words of Drummond's staff are very useful to President Barnard, and President Barnard nodded slightly.
"I want to remind you that once we violate the alliance agreement, then we will become the enemies of the Great World of God, and the peace maintained by the two sides for thousands of years will be gone forever, and the Great World of God will be lost forever. With our common defense, the battle star will become an undefended loophole, and a steady stream of Zerg will break through our defense line, enter the war zone and enter the peaceful area behind!" Grand Marshal Andre suppressed his anger and said.
You must know why the fifth-level Zerg of the Zerg has rarely been able to attack the war zone, because of the existence of the fifth-level Templar Knights in the Great World of God.
If the divine world withdraws from the battlefield, or deliberately opens a passage to allow the fifth-level Zerg to enter the battlefield, the consequences will be disastrous.
At that time, I don't know how much loss it will take to kill the fifth-level Zerg, and how much it will cost to resist more subsequent fifth-level Zerg.
The short-sightedness of Drummond's staff made Marshal Andre unacceptable. He could continue to sit here just to save face for the federal government, and President Barnard did not express his opinion.
"It's the military's business to stop the Zergs. If you can't resist the Zergs' invasion, then change to a general who can resist the Zergs' invasion!" Drummond's staff spoke very presumptuously.
This is also a skill of language, because the identity of Drummond's staff is only the personal adviser of President Barnard. Even if he says something wrong, President Barnard can ease it later. He is President Barnard's knife. While stabbing the opponent, President Barnard can withdraw the knife at any time.
But if it is an ordinary matter, the way Drummond's staff handles it may give Marshal Andre a little threat, but Marshal Andre has not been used to Delaware on such a major matter that concerns the survival of the Star Federation The meaning of Mond's staff.
"President Barnard, what is your decision?" Marshal Andre stopped looking at Drummond's staff and turned to President Barnard and asked.
"Marshal Andre, I need to convene a joint meeting of the presidents on this matter, and make a decision after discussing it at the meeting!" President Barnard said in an official tone.
President Barnard's meaning is obvious, that is, the word "delay", to delay the request for help for a while, after the Zerg occupy the guardian star, it will be too late, and there is no need for the Interstellar Federation to send troops.
Marshal Andre stood up slowly, and the two generals and his adjutants behind him all stood up.
"President Barnard, according to the Wartime Act, the situation may deteriorate into a full-scale war at any time. I declare the implementation of the Wartime Act. If the Federal President cannot guarantee the military supply, the army will take over the government!" Marshal Andre Looking at the newly elected president coldly, he announced in a deep voice.
"Marshal Andre, you have no right to do this!" Drummond's staff jumped up and shouted.
"Staff Drummond, have you seen Zerg? Do you know the danger of Zerg?" Marshal Andre glanced at Drummond's staff and asked coldly. Without waiting for Drummond's answer, he With a wave of his hand, he said to Adjutant Jekyll behind him: "Send Drummond's staff to the forefront of Battlestar, and let him participate in the defense against the Zerg with the frontline soldiers!"
After saying this, Generalissimo Andre turned around and left. The Generalissimo, who commanded countless troops of the Federation, enveloped the entire presidential office in such a manner that President Barnard did not dare to say a word.
It wasn't until this time that President Barnard understood the terror of Generalissimo, but he had nothing to do with Generalissimo Andre.
As early as when the Interstellar Federation was established, the military and the government were two different lines. The military protected the Federation and was restricted by the military spending of the Federation Government. The Federation Government could influence the military to a certain extent.
The federal government has no right to order the military, and the military has no right to intervene in the work of the federal government.
This puts the military under the supervision of the government, and the government's only means of dealing with the military is the allocation of military expenditures.
But as long as it enters wartime, the military can take over everything in the Federation until the end of the war.
Marshal Andre said that this is a state of wartime, but it is actually too early, but as a marshal, no one dares to question his judgment on the war, or that Marshal Andre saw the danger of the Federation, At the same time, the federal government was deemed insufficient to deal with the danger, and the military intervened forcibly.
