Chapter 357: Secret Talk

"President, what? The forces of Freedom Gate have already gathered near District 4. It is estimated that the total force will be around one division."


"How is the evacuation of civilians progressing?"


"Ninety percent of the civilians have been evacuated. At the same time, our three Ground Defense Forces have entered Area Four."


"Very good. Let the ground forces exercise restraint and intensify the negotiations. If necessary, show us the materials numbered 003. Do not start a war to prevent the conflict from escalating."


As he set up his strategic mission, he walked towards his office. Several secretaries around President Morbit were quickly recording his instructions, which would affect the functioning of the Federation and not make any mistakes, so each secretary was cautious. Mobie, who had just finished a meeting, was still in high spirits. His strides were strong and tough, as if he was an iron man who would never fall.


It was precisely this image that caused Mobbit's approval rating to rise instead of fall at a time when the Federation and Freedom Gate were at odds.


Arriving at the office, a beautiful blonde secretary stood up and said, "Mr. President, Mr. Main of Alexandria is waiting for you in the office."


"Maine? Alright, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Miss Suya."


Mobbit pushed open the door and entered. In the office, Maine stood up politely and bowed, "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency."


"Mr. Main, you're a rare guest. What brings you here?" Mobie unbuttoned his jacket and revealed a deep smile.


"The situation on the ground has been volatile lately," Maine said. "The Alexandrian family has decided to provide free aid to the federal government on the war budget, following a unanimous decision within our family council of elders."


"How magnanimous, Mr. Main." Mobbit gestured for Maine to sit down and said, "Well, Mr. Maine, I have a few important meetings to attend later, so let's not waste each other's time. Tell me, what do you want from me?"


"Political asylum, and a degree of intervention. Mr. President, in recent months, Beth Cord has been nibbling at me like a mad dog. If this continues, I think something you don't want to see will happen." Maine said solemnly.


Morbit laughed, "No wonder old Horne, you should know what Mr. Main did. Tell me, Main, did you plan the Dawn?"


Maine's expression changed several times. After hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes, he finally turned into a trace of helplessness. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "This is just a common attack. I didn't expect Horn's reaction to be so intense."


"Indeed, it is common for you nobles to kill a chess piece with great potential in the hands of a competitor. But I must say, Mr. Main, you've kicked the iron plate this time." Morbit formally said: "Alan of Bescot, he has the potential not only for Old Horn, but also for our Federation." To destroy such a person just for the sake of your Alexander Clan, while ignoring the future development of the entire Federation. You know, Mr. Main, when I heard about the Dawn, I was as angry as Old Horn. "


Maine's expression stiffened, and Mobbit's reaction was completely beyond his expectations. "This is one of them," the president continued. "Second, your actions against the Dawn not only led to Alan's death, but also another grandson of Horn, Regis, and Adele of the Morsen Family, who dragged two families and three direct descendants with decent potential to the brink of death. If I were Horn, I would risk my life for you."


"There is also the most important point!"


Mobbit's eyes lit up as he stabbed at Main like a sharp sword. "There are also members of the royal family of Adahua Planet aboard the Dawn!"


"What?" Maine was finally unable to remain calm and said, "How is that possible? It's just Bescot's family hunting squad. How could there be Adahua Planet's royal family in it?"


"That's why you said that you don't have enough intelligence and yet you act rashly. This decision is too reckless." '"Fortunately, our relationship with the surface of the earth is complicated these days. Adahua Planet has no diplomatic corps. Otherwise, once the news reaches the emperor's ears, I can only hand you over for the sake of the Federation!" Mobius snorted.


A thin layer of sweat appeared on Maine's forehead.


"Now you see, the seriousness of this matter is not something that can be solved with your mere budgetary assistance." Mobie's lips curled into an intriguing smile.


Maine keenly sensed that there was still room for manoeuvre and gritted his teeth. "Mr. President, if you are willing to help, I can speak on behalf of the family. From today onwards, the Alexandrian family will fully support you."


Mobbit narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Main, you are indeed quick-witted."


'"The hardest thing to solve is the missing Empress. Fortunately, Emperor Orfasis has many children, and Her Highness Lucy may not be the Emperor's favorite daughter. However, she has another troublesome identity."


"May I ask who that is?"


"Her Royal Highness Lucy is a qualified person for the Golden Rose of Shatter. Therefore, Emperor Orfasis's gaze is more on her. However, this gaze will probably still fall more on the Origin Tool." "Now that the federal search team has found the coordinates of the day you attacked Dawn, we are extracting the remaining information around us to analyze where Dawn is going," Mobit said.


'"Even if the people on the ship have died, as long as we find the Origin Tool and make the necessary compensation, I don't think Emperor Orfasis wants to have a full fight with our ally. Of course, the compensation will be the responsibility of your family!"


Maine smiled bitterly, "Of course."


"Besides, the Bescots and Morsons have my own plans. I hope you can show your sincerity in making up for them. Otherwise, I won't bring it up."


"Everything will be arranged by you." Maine sighed. The situation had developed to the point where he could not refuse.


He had never expected that a decision made that day would actually lead to this situation.


On the nameless planet far away from the Endless Star Road, Allen received his first large profit after arriving on this strange planet. Half a month after Storm City's withdrawal, Cavalry Captain Legg was in charge of escorting 50,000 gold coins and large quantities of supplies to Sur City in exchange for Knight Commander Mogu.


Edward's ransom to Storm City was 100,000 gold coins, and he also said that he could use the same amount of resources to replace part of the gold coins. This was beneficial to both families. Storm City didn't need to pay out a large amount of gold coins at once, while Sur City could obtain the materials it needed. On the list of supplies, Edward listed weapons and equipment the most.


These included firearms and ammunition that could equip a firearm squadron, 200 sets of light armor, high-quality steel swords, hand shields, and so on. In addition, there were some scattered metal ores, as well as some pure silver.


When Legg's team entered Sur City, they saw a long line of ten carriages. There was no need to mention the use of weapons and equipment, but the metal ore could be refined and used to create the warhammers needed by the King of the Mountains. However, the most important role of the metal ore was to conceal the pure silver that Allen and the others were truly targeting.


After Legg delivered the supplies and gold coins to Sur City, the ten kilograms of pure silver was immediately sent to Allen. Naturally, Number Seven would be the candidate to test the Thames Silver, and there was no one more qualified than it. In the hall, when the pure silver from Storm City was placed on the table, Number Seven activated itself and quickly destroyed the ten kilograms of pure silver. josei


Allen and the others saw this and knew that Storm City indeed possessed the Silver Veins of Times.


This was an incomparably important piece of information, and it also inadvertently increased the need to attack Storm City.


After a series of formalities, Mo Gu was taken back to Storm City. Maud gave him a small welcoming banquet. After the banquet, the two brothers came to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Mo Gu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You really shouldn't have redeemed me."


Mo De frowned and said, "Whether you are my brother or the commander of the Knights of Rage Thunder, any of these identities is worth it for me to do so."


He casually poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Mogu. "Alright, don't think too much. I understand the humiliation you have suffered. As for this, we just need to get it back from our enemies in the future."


"That's exactly what I want to say." Mo Gu gulped down the wine and spread out his hands. "Don't you notice? My brother, I'm no different from an ordinary person now. They didn't know what method they used to scatter all of my Origin Energy!"


"What?" Mo De's hand slipped and the wine glass fell to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces.


He pounced over and reached out to pinch and press Mo Gu's body. Sure enough, he couldn't feel any reaction from Mo Gu's Origin Energy. In terms of the origin power system, Adahua Planet was higher than Earth, and Earth was far above this planet. Based on the profound knowledge of Origin Energy, the Earth Federation had long since grasped a method to disperse Origin Energy. This method was used to control some important criminals who could not be executed immediately.


The principle of this method was to dissipate the genetic circuitry within the body, but there was an inevitable rule, that was, the principle of high-level coverage of low-level. Even if he mastered this method, the user would not be able to use it on a target whose Origin Energy level was higher than his own. Unfortunately, Mo Gu's level wasn't higher than Alan's, so he was dissipated from his Origin Energy.


Ellen wasn't stupid enough to send a complete Mo Gu back, even if it was a bit of a waste of words.
