Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 356: Key Materials

Rumble, lightning flashed, heavy rain poured down.

A torrential rain fell on Babylon, and the summer rain blurred the outline of things on the floating island. No one likes to travel in this rainy weather if it's not necessary. However, a magic energy flying car stopped in front of Alstair's house. Housekeeper Helsing got out of the car and raised his umbrella, blocking the storm for Beth Cod's current Patriarch.

The master and servant hurried into the house and had their own servants carry rain gear for them. Steward Helsing stayed in the living room, while Horn was taken to the Chancellor's study.

In the study, Alstair's fat figure was standing by the window, facing the storm outside. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and smiled bitterly, "You came quickly."

"As long as it's related to that matter, unless the world is doomed, I'll come as quickly as I can." Horn smiled and said, "So, what's the surprise for me?"

Alstair walked back to his desk, opened the drawer, and said, "You didn't find any clues from the normal way before, so I decided to do it another way. Our General Capulo's book is so beautiful that there are no flaws in it. It's just that there's one thing that caught my attention."

He took out a bag of information and poured it on the table. Horn walked over and picked it up. It was basically a registration form for the replacement of armaments and the decommissioning of airships. Horn looked at his old friend, "What are these?"

"In the past two years, the expenditure and expenditure of all legions under the old party have been recorded in detail, as well as the replacement of armaments." Alstair knocked on the information and said: "In February, ten airships applied for decommissioning due to aging parts, and there was one battleship among them. As for this battleship, I tracked its whereabouts and found that it disappeared after entering the federal recycling plant according to normal procedures. There was only a blurry list of information on the Recovery Register, probably replacing the flying ship. However, the usable parts after folding should have been stored in the warehouse, but the relevant records could not be found in the warehouse information. So it's an interesting question where this airship, or the important parts on it, such as the quantum cannon or the warp engine, ended up. "

Horn exhaled, "That is to say, the disappearance of the Dawn was instigated by the Old Party."

"That's not necessarily the case. It's just that there's a possibility of participating. Because I also got this." Alstair took out a few photographs from the drawer. They were not very clear, but he could barely see the faces of the people inside.

That's Horn's acquaintance.

"Maine?" Horn frowned. The smiling man in the photo was Alexander's Patriarch. "Where were these taken?"

"One of the generals of the old party, Eliphant, who is known as' Lie Xiang ', do you have any impression of him?"

"Eliphant?" Horn nodded. "So Maine is in touch with the old party? How did you get these photos?"

"The Federation has operated for so many years, and there are still some methods. Especially to help successive presidents better understand what the people below are thinking, so the 'Listen to the Wind' program was implemented a long time ago." "Of course, in order to avoid stirring up conflicts between our subordinates and the president, we don't monitor important people in the Federation directly. We just pay attention to the people around him," Alstair said with a smile.

"These photographs were taken from one of the numbered databases of Comet-level Intelligent Brain Afar of the Federation. That database corresponds to General Eliphant's Intelligent Brain Camera System."

"I originally thought that the plan had been stalled for many years." Horn said.

"That's just a lie, friend."

Horn nodded. It was easy to imagine how much effort and price Alstair had paid to obtain so much information. Otherwise, they would not have been able to obtain these critical materials within the complex Federation. Now the evidence was pointing straight at Main and Eliphant, and even Marshal Capullo, who had agreed behind their backs. This was not only a competition between wealthy families and aristocrats, but also a battle between two parties. josei

"Has Sir Mobbit seen these?" Horn raised his head.

Alstair shrugged. "In fact, I gave you a backup copy, and another copy has been sent to His Excellency the President's desk." In this incident, I can only say that Maine and the old party have gone too far. It would be embarrassing for His Excellency to do such a thing that would damage relations between the two parties despite his willingness to bring the old and the new parties together. Fortunately, this information is now completely confidential and cannot be discovered by Marshal Windsor Belo for the time being. Otherwise … "

The minister smiled bitterly, in Windsor Belo's reckless manner. As soon as he grasped this information, he would probably immediately declare war on the Old Party. Relations between the Federation and Freedom Gate have now deteriorated. Not long ago, Freedom Gate organized a retaliatory attack on a surface district that was still under federal control.

If the old and new parties clashed at this time, the Federation would definitely be torn apart.

"Since you can trust me and give me this information, I have to express my confidence. Don't worry, I won't hand it over to Marshal Greed. But you have to worry about it yourself. That Marshal is keeping a close eye on this matter. As far as I know, the Red Wolf's activities have never stopped."

"Of course. If things leak out, we can only blame ourselves for not doing a good job in keeping it a secret. Then, what are you going to do?"

"Follow the rules." Horn's tone gradually became murderous, "Since Main's hand is so long, then this time, I will cut off this arm of his!"

Alstair could imagine that as long as Horn showed the information, Maine would definitely fall into the trap. At that time, Horn could offer harsh compensation. If Alexander didn't pay, he would give Horn an excuse to openly use force. As long as he had the evidence, Maine would not be able to obtain any benefits no matter what.

This was Horn's so-called rule, and it was also the rule that the veteran nobles had always followed.

"Alright, I believe you can handle it. But before that, old friend, I have something else I want you to see." "Remember the attack on the Gate of Freedom ship in Babylon that day? We went into it and now we have some key materials. They show that there is a third force behind the Federation and the Gate of Freedom, and they dominate all of this!" Alstair said with a grim expression.

The minister tapped a set of orders on a row of light keys on the table, and a few images appeared on the projection curtain wall in front of him. In the picture, a man was covered in injuries, but his face was filled with madness. He shouted, "After the light is hidden in the darkness, our eyes are everywhere. Generations of change are coming, and you will become like me, the bones of the tide!"

Following that, the streaks of light on his body lit up, and then the entire scene was filled with intense light. It was clear that the man had chosen to detonate himself, turning the Origin Energy in his body into a bomb.

Horn frowned. Although the fragment was short, the madness of the man inside was obvious. He muttered, "It's like some kind of religious fanatic."

"This is the material provided by General Fendi's Iron Fist Legion. There are still some materials like this. And the word'light concealment 'appears very frequently. We believe that it should be the code name of an organization." Alstair said in a low voice, "There are other powers that are not terrible, like the Gate of Freedom." However, the members of this organization, called Light Concealment, were very secretive. So far, we've tracked down people from virtually every stratum of the Federation. From the Federation General to an ordinary recruiter, almost every class has their shadow. "

"That's the scariest thing, Horn. Because we don't even know who the enemy is. It's possible that a friend who was drinking yesterday will send an ice-cold blade into your body tomorrow. So now, finding out the members of Guang Yin has become the most important thing for the Federal Intelligence Agency."

Alstair looked at him and said, "You have to worry too. We don't know how many aristocratic families have been infiltrated by them."

Horn took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

The rain stopped when Horn left, and the maids and Alstair escorted him out. In the blink of an eye, a day passed. At night, a maid quietly left. She arrived a few blocks away on the road and waited for a moment at a public bus stop. An unmarked magic energy flying car stopped not far from the station. The maid quickly left and got into the flying car.

The flying car started slowly. The carriage was very dark, but one could see a person sitting next to the maid. The maid whispered, "Horn came to see Master this morning. The two of them talked for a long time in the study."

"Do you know anything about it?" The person sitting next to him asked.

"I don't know. I didn't dare to eavesdrop. After all, Mr. Horn isn't the master."

"That's right. With Horn's strength, finding you eavesdropping is the easiest thing to do."

"But when Mr. Horn left, I saw that he had a document in his hand. There seemed to be photographs inside."

"Is that so?" The man nodded, "You did a good job. Here's your reward."

A silver card was placed in the hands of the maid, and a stream of heat surged in her heart. She knew that there were a hundred thousand taxed deposits in it, and this was her reward for the information.

The flying car stopped at a corner and the maid got off the car and turned into another street to leave. There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then the lights above lit up. The light fell on Maine's face, and his expression was gloomy.

"Sir, are you going back?" The driver asked.

Maine shook his head. "No, go see General Eliphant. I need to talk to him."
