Chapter 1323： my proud

Roddy 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 go before the lights. When the castle held a banquet, it was called a lively event. The workers, chefs, 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 brilliance of the castle, the brilliance of Beskode.

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

all gone.

Roddy dismissed the last group of Beskod before Mobitt had no conversation with the heads of the families through a video conference. 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. Completely.

Only Roddy, Huck, Butler Heising and Hedrick are still in the castle. It was a big 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.

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

"Father?" Roddy strode forward.

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

Roddy sighed, "I should discuss with you first."

"What to discuss?" Horn laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Roddy's shoulder and said: "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 The 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 just 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.

Roddy grinned silly, jumped to the front of a speeding 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 told me to go back, but Murphy has moved to a complete place, and now I need me more." Anna wrapped her arms around her chest, then lowered her head and said: "I am destined not to be a qualified mother."

Roddy smiled and said: "I'm not a qualified father, and I haven't given much discipline to Reina. But now I am thankful that the kid is not on the earth. I heard that he was going to come back. Fortunately, Fording will help. I held him down."

"Won't Fording come back?"

"He wants to come back. I didn't agree." Roddy shrugged. "Someone has to keep the escape route."

Anna said "um", and didn't say anything again. 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 can only sigh, and take the two of Huck on the speeding car and leave. Roddy glanced at one of the lighted rooms in the castle, frowned and said, "Where is he?"

"I originally wanted him to leave and completely separate from the family. What he wants to do in the future is none of my business." Horn's expression became complicated: "But he doesn't want to leave. In this case, I won't force him. ."

Roddy thought for a while and said, "The guy Hedrick, in the final analysis, wants you to pay more attention to him. Since childhood, he has to stand in the most dazzling position no matter where he is. There, you can see him at a glance. Just"

Horne glanced at the window that was still lit, then sat on the car cover like Roddy, and used the walking stick with the famous knife Qiuyan to point towards the castle and said: "When I was young, I always thought I could do anything. Yes. I am the most severe to you, because you are the eldest son, I think you should bear everything, even the burdens of your younger brothers and sisters have to be picked up by you. So I am the harshest to you, and all the most dangerous things Leave it to you. Roddy, have you annoyed me about it?"

Roddy smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Sometimes there are indeed such thoughts, especially when you are a little kid. At that time, I was thinking about father, you are partial, let alone the younger sister and the fourth. Even the second child. It’s also better than me, so the third child will have a hard time with me."

"I'm really partial." Horn admitted: "You are the eldest son, and the talent of the third child is beyond my surprise. Don't look at him without saying a word, 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, and that kid is still spinning around 27th and 8th level. , The hiding is so deep, the third child."

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

Roddy 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 lightly with a cane: "After becoming the owner of the house, he became stingy, you bastard."

Roddy giggled.

Horn took a sip of his cigar and spit out the smoke ring. "I have placed too many wishes on the fourth, especially after Lanni left. I almost put my expectations of Lanni on him. 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 me. Lanny is not less than three years old, you The mother left. At that time she still 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 crying to find her mother But she doesn’t see 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 always had a straight face. Only at night, when you are all asleep, can I smile when I peek at you secretly. I swear more than once that I will use all my strength to protect Lanny and protect you. But in the end, Lanny still left me. , And then quietly left this world on a night that I didn't know."

"She's still so young. She should have lived longer and longer than me. When I got Allen 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 to look at the deep sky: "It's all over. The past, no matter how regretful it is, it can't be undone."

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

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

Roddy 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 snorted coldly: "Here."

Roddy looked up.

The night sky was still gloomy, and the heavy lead cloud had only darkness except darkness. But in the darkness, there was a faint 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.

It 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, one 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 Roddy’s pupils contracted, and above the sea of ​​clouds, battleships from both sides came and went, the sky and rain pierced the edges, every second The scene of the airship exploding was 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 at high altitude. And above that high-altitude battlefield, a shadow is expanding.

That is the star destroyer of the Nirm!

The Star Destroyer, which is almost as large as the entire Babylon, is entering the interior of the planet, so there is a circle of fire around the shadow. It is a phenomenon caused by the friction of the atmosphere of the starship. Seeing that it is coming aggressively, it is completely aimed at Babylon. of.

The enemy and our warships fighting life and death in the high air, whether they wished or not, had to stay far away from the orbit of the Star Destroyer. Otherwise, there is no need for the Star Destroyer 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 phase, and the rising energy aura is so huge that even ordinary people can feel it.

Of course, now there are no civilians on Babylon, and what remains is not the army, or the powerful men of the major families!
