Rody looked at the night outside the window, which was so dark and deep that night. ?(

Looking out the window, watching, the man's heart floated back to the night a few days ago.

Since the completion of Ugalle Castle, it has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain, but it has never been as quiet as this moment. Roddy was standing on the square in front of the old castle, where guests used to be in front of the lights. When the castle held a banquet, it was called a lively event. The workers, cooks, guards and their families who served this castle got together. There were more than two thousand people, and they just made up a small town of Levin.

This is the splendor of the castle, the splendor of Bethkode.

But now, the castle is dim, with ten rooms and nine empty spaces. Not only the old castle is like this, but the town of Levin is also empty.

All gone.

Rodi dismissed the last group of Bethkod before Mobitt had no video conference call with the heads of the families. The family guards were all taken by him to **** the old and weak women and children in the town away. Not only the Ugalle Castle, but in fact, other families also sent family members to the surface, but Beskod did not do so simply. That's it completely.

The only ones still in the castle are Roddy, Huck, Butler Heising, and Heydrick. It was a big old castle, and now there were only four people left, even the cigar that Roddy was smoking on his mouth, and the flames of the cigarette butts were full of loneliness.

The sound of footsteps rang untimely at this time.

Rody frowned, but it was Horn and Anna who came in through the gate of the castle.

"Father?" Roddy strode to meet him.

Horn, leaning on a cane, looked at the darkly lit castle and said: "Since our ancestors built the castle, this castle has never been so bleak."

Rody sighed: "I should discuss with you first."

"What to discuss?" Horn laughed and stretched out his hand to pat Roddy on the shoulder. "You are now the head of the family. I will raise my hands in favor of whatever decision is made. You don't need to discuss anything with me. Roddy, Horn’s age has passed, and now is the age of your young people. You are here to wait, I will go in and meet the few remaining people, and then..."

"Let's let go of our hands and feet and do it."

Horn strode into the main building of the castle, and a moment later, exclamation and suppressed crying came from the building.

Rody grinned silly, jumped to the front of a speed car and sat down without any image of the owner. He also pulled open the two buttons on the neckline by the way, then looked at Anna and said, "You won't go back?" "

"The master also called me back, but Murphy has moved to a complete place. Now I need me more." Anna wrapped her arms around her chest, and then lowered her head and said: "I am destined not to be a qualified mother."

Rody smiled and said: "I'm not a qualified father. I haven't disciplined Reina very much. But now I am thankful that the kid is not on the earth. I heard that he was coming back. Fortunately, Fording held him for me."

"Fording won't come back?"

"He wanted to come back, but I didn't agree." Roddy shrugged: "Someone has to keep the escape route."

Anna said "um", and didn't talk any more. At this time Horn came out of the castle, Huck and Heising followed him, Horn made a gesture to Anna: "You send them away, Anna, their safety is up to you."

"Master!" How would Anna know that if she agreed, she would never return to Babylon.

Horn shook his head, not allowing her to refuse. Anna could only sigh, and took the two of Huck on the speeding car and left. Roddy glanced at one of the lighted rooms in the castle, frowned and said, "Where is he?"

"I originally wanted him to leave and leave the family completely. What he wants to do in the future is none of my business." Horn's expression became complicated: "But he doesn't want to go. In that case, neither do I Reluctantly to him."

Rody thought for a while, and said, "The guy Hedrick, after all, wants you to pay more attention to him. From childhood to adulthood, no matter where he is, he has to stand in the most dazzling position. .Because there, you can see him at a glance. It’s just..."

Horn glanced at the window that was still lit, then sat on the car cover like Roddy, and nodded towards the castle with the walking stick that hid the famous knife Qiuyan and said: "When I was young, I always thought I was Whatever you do is right. I will be the most severe to you, because you are the eldest son, I think you should bear everything, and even the burdens of younger siblings have to be picked up by you. So I am the most demanding of you, but the most dangerous You'll handle everything. Roddy, have you annoyed me about it?"

Rody smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Sometimes this is true, especially when you are a kid. At that time, I was thinking about father, you are partial, let alone the younger sister and the fourth. He’s also better to the second child than me, and the third child is hard-working with me."

"I'm really partial." Horn admitted: "You are the eldest son, and the youngest talent is beyond my surprise. Don't look at him silently, in fact, he broke through the 30th level earlier than you. ."

"Damn, I knew that kid must be hidden." Roddy slapped his thigh: "I said there is no reason why I have already passed 30th level, that kid is still twenty-seven. The eighth level turns around, it’s so deep hidden."

"The third child is always inhumane, but there are some things he doesn't say, but he will do it. This is the opposite of the fourth child, the fourth child..." Horn suddenly told Roddy. Opened the palm: "Give me one."

Rody took out a cigar with a painful expression on his face and said, "This is the last one. Smoke it slowly."

Horn couldn't help tapping his big head with a cane: "After becoming the owner of the house, he became stingy, you bastard."

Rody giggled.

Horn took a sip of his cigar and spit out the smoke ring, saying: "I have too many wishes for the fourth child, especially after Lanni is gone, I almost put my expectations of Lanni to him. On his body. If the fourth child will get to this point today, in addition to his own distorted ambition, I also have a responsibility. It is precisely because I expected too much of him that he had a certain illusion."

"Some kind of illusion that I am my father's favorite child..."

"Father." Roddy wanted to comfort the old man, but he didn't know what to say when the words came, so he could only pat his thigh.

Horn smiled and shook Roddy’s big hand, and continued: "You know, I love Lanny the most. Because she is the last baby your mother left for me. Lanny is not less than three years old. When she was old, your mother left. At that time she was so young that she didn’t even understand what it meant to lose her mother. Every time I saw her immature face, I couldn’t help crying, especially when she woke up in the middle of the night. When I was crying to find her mother. But she didn't want her mother anymore, poor child..."

"But I can’t cry, or even grieve. Because I am the owner of the house, I must be as hard as steel so that our enemies won’t take advantage of it. So you are all afraid of me. At that time, I was always stubborn. Face. Only at night, when you are all asleep, I can smile when I peek at you secretly. I swear more than once, I will use all my strength to protect Lanny and protect you. But in the end, Lanny is still Leaving me, and then quietly leaving this world in a night that I didn't know."

"She's still so young, she should have lived longer and longer than me. When I got Alan back, I blamed myself more than once. If I wasn't so proud then, if I was willing to lay down a little dignity , Now, whether the ending will be different. But ah..." Horn raised his head and looked at the deep sky: "It's all over. The past, no matter how regretful it is, it can't be undone. That's it."

"Father, don't say it." Roddy squeezed the old man hard and said: "The little girl won't hate you, and Alan is the same. That kid loved you from his heart when he thought you were killed. His sorrow , I can clearly feel his anger. With such a son, it can be seen that Lanny, as a mother, also respects you from my heart!"

Horn took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, whether Lenny or you, or Huck, you are my pride, eternal pride."

Rody trembled all over, and he had to restrain himself desperately to avoid the surging emotions in his chest. Then, an inexplicable sense of oppression fell on him.

Horn's eyes turned from enthusiasm to coldness, and he hummed coldly: "Here it is."

Rody looked up.

The night sky is still gloomy, and the heavy plume cloud is dark except for darkness. But in the darkness, there was a low and low howling sound. Suddenly, a blaze of light flashed in the darkness, and then the fire became more and more intense, and finally a stream of fire burst out of the clouds, across the night sky, and slanted toward the distance.

That was a downed fighter plane.

More flames lit up in the clouds, and the flames dispersed the darkness. Even if people are on the ground, they can still see the lead cloud covering the entire night sky, and there are constant fires and explosions one after another.

Suddenly a hurricane blowing from nowhere blew away the clouds.

Rodi’s pupils contracted, and above the sea of ​​clouds, the warships of both sides came and went horizontally, the sky and rain pierced and passed, every second there was a picture of the spaceship exploding, so faithfully reflected in Roddy’s eyes. . It turned out that when they were chatting, the battle between the Nirm and the Earth Federation had already been staged high in the sky. And above that high-altitude battlefield, a shadow is expanding.

That's the Star Destroyer of the Nirm!

A star destroyer almost the same size as the entire Babylon is entering the interior of the planet, so there is a circle of fire around the shadow. It is an anomaly caused by the friction of the atmosphere of the starship. From Babylon.

Fighting enemy and us warships fighting in the high air, whether they prefer it or not, they have to avoid the orbit of the Star Destroyer. Otherwise, the Star Destroyer does not need to fire, and the advancing airflow alone is enough to make the battleship fall out of control. At this time, all weapon platforms on Babylon have entered the charging stage, and the rising energy aura is so huge that even ordinary people can feel it.

Of course, there are no civilians in Babylon now, and what remains is not the army, but the strong men of the big families!
