back to Earth

[What can be called a secret is never a secret. 】

This was the last sentence left by the human commander before leaving.After Cheng Zhen's unexpected speech, the commander-in-chief brought the two human teenagers into the room for a private discussion that lasted several hours.

No one knew what they discussed or reached in this discussion, except the three involved.

But when Cheng Zhen walked out of the room, he felt faintly relieved.

The only worries and worries he had left were all emptied during this meeting, but instead of worries, more doubts surfaced.Such a human army really confuses him, how much human beings already know about the secrets that the General Council tried so hard to hide.Or, how long ago did you know it?

As if seeing through the doubts of the black-haired boy, the commander-in-chief named Arthur left those last words to him before leaving.

It was this sentence that made Cheng Zhen even more confused.If the white-haired commander-in-chief wasn't trying to make a fool of himself, then could it be understood that what he said could mean that human beings have already known many secrets.

Including this news that destruction is coming.

However, if human beings really know this news, are they ready to face the battle? Also, where did they get this news?

After this meeting, Cheng Zhen had more doubts about the human army.However, there was one thing that made him feel relieved.

Looking at this human army that seems to have been prepared for a long time and is full of vitality, all Cheng Zhen's worries disappeared.Although I don't know why human beings who have been in a low ebb have such a strong army like Longyi.However, for the upcoming battle of Klein, it is undoubtedly a great fortune to have such a helper.

As for some of the mysteries, Cheng Zhen thought that only by getting in touch with this Dragon Wing army further could he gradually get the answers.At least for now, a preliminary agreement has been reached.

Cheng Zhen, who returned to the core star field with Sean and returned to the residence of Clems Academy, the first thing he did was to return to his room, lay down on the bed and have a good rest.

It has to be said that this series of incidents has really made his nerves tense all the time. If he doesn't rest for a while, the thread is probably about to snap.But when Cheng Zhen just started to fall asleep, an uninvited guest broke into the room and woke him up from Duke Zhou.

"Where have you been?" The uninvited guest stepped into the room, looked at Cheng Zhen who was lying on the bed, and asked calmly.

Seeing someone coming in, Cheng Zhen quickly sat up from the bed.

"Just came back from seeing the allies."

"...to see the human army?" The visitor looked at Cheng Zhen's slightly tired appearance. "The 'dead zone' you went directly to after you left the united front?"

Cheng Zhen nodded.

Frowning in dissatisfaction, the person who broke into the room accused unceremoniously. "Even so, shouldn't you just fall asleep on the bed in such a gaffe, without even closing the door, aren't you afraid that an uninvited guest will come in?"

"That...Senior Inver." Cheng Zhen really wanted to say, aren't you the uninvited guest?However, the chief of the Vatican tribe, who hadn't talked to him for a long time, took the initiative to come to the door, making him unwilling to easily break the atmosphere of finally reconciling. "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

"I just came to inform you that the general council just announced that the Battle of Klein will officially start in two days." Inver turned slightly sideways.

"Two days?" I was a little surprised in my heart, Cheng Zhen did not expect that the General Council would decide the start date of the Klein War so quickly.Wouldn't it be a little hasty?

What was it that made the general council, which had always been unwilling to act hastily, make such a hasty decision?What is forcing them to start the battle of Klein as soon as possible?

Could it be that the signs of destruction are becoming more and more obvious?

No, it won't.Cheng Zhen immediately shook his head and vetoed his conjecture. If those people really appeared, the general council would not have the heart to continue the Klein battle.But if it wasn't for this reason, then what was it that made the general council decide to start the Battle of Klein ahead of schedule?

Gather all the fighting forces of all races together...

Cheng Zhen, who was completely immersed in his own thoughts, subconsciously ignored the existence of another person in the room.And it wasn't until the other party couldn't bear to throw something at his hand that Cheng Zhen came back to his senses.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Looking at Inver, who looked a little unhappy, Cheng Zhen said hastily. "I was just thinking about something, and I forgot that you are here, senior! It's really rude!"

Inver, who thought Cheng Zhen was deliberately ignoring him with his face, eased his expression slightly.Looking at the shining and sincere eyes of the black-haired boy in front of him, the chief of the Vaer tribe suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, turned around and coughed.

"In short, don't worry about those things. You sign this contract first, then I won't care about the previous things."

contract?Cheng Zhen looked at his hand, only to realize that the object that almost hit him just now turned out to be a paper contract scroll that was very rare in the interstellar era.

This is equivalent to an antique-level thing, and it will only be used when the two parties sign a very important treaty.

And now, senior Inver actually handed him such a level of contract?

Surprised and suspicious, Cheng Zhen finally opened the contract scroll under the urging of Inver's invisible sight.

The content of the full text is roughly as follows. The Vail warriors headed by Inver made a decision to allow an alliance with humans in the Battle of Klein. To make this decision take effect, only the other party to the contract is required. It's enough for Cheng Zhen to sign this contract.

After reading the whole content, Cheng Zhen looked helplessly at the chief of the Vatican clan in front of him.

"...Senior Inver, I'm afraid I can't make a decision on this matter alone."

Inver raised an eyebrow in displeasure. "you are not willing?"

"No, what I mean is that my personal opinion cannot represent all human beings."

"Isn't it the agreement between you and the Golden Clan? Or, do you think those Botutans are more reliable than us, the Vils who have betrayed humans, and that's why you don't want to form an alliance with us?" Slender His long ears trembled slightly, which was a sign that the Vail tribe was about to get angry.

Sure enough, it was because of this reason.

Cheng Zhen sighed softly, raised his eyes and looked directly at the chief of the Vatican tribe.

"Senior Inver, I never regarded you as traitors. It's just that at the fork in the road ahead, you chose a different direction from the remaining humans. Even though you are no longer compatriots, I still regard you Become a trustworthy senior."

"Hmph, is it a fork?" Inver looked back at Cheng Zhen. "In that case, why did you make an alliance agreement with the Bertutans?"

"That was also because of some unexpected circumstances at that time." Thinking of the bet with Rhine Bertutan outside the alliance agreement, Cheng Zhen felt a little headache again.Although he vaguely felt that the United Front Commander would not really hand him over to the General Council, it was better to strive for victory and avoid failure as much as possible in this battle of Klein.

But now, the misunderstanding with Senior Inver still needs to be solved first.Otherwise, delaying until the battle of Klein would have an adverse effect on both of them. "What I made with the Bertutan people is just my personal covenant with them, and it does not involve humans."

Of course, when it comes to major transfers, Cheng Zhen will still try to get the Bertutans to help the human army.He didn't say that.

"You personally?" Inver frowned, apparently in disbelief. "How much can one person's strength play in the battle of Klein? How could the Bertutans only make a covenant with you?"

"Of course there are other reasons. As far as I am concerned, there is a reason why I have to rely on the help of the Bertutans. As for the Bertutans, I am a fighting force whose purpose is exactly the same as theirs. One more free helper, No one will refuse." Cheng Zhen explained.

"In this case... then, bring the contract." Inver said.

Thinking that he was going to give up the contract, Cheng Zhen quickly handed over the precious scroll in his hand.He really didn't think he had the qualifications to sign the alliance treaty with the Vatican instead of humans.At this time, it would be great if Inver could take the initiative to cancel this covenant.

However, Inver, who took back the contract scroll, did not give up as Cheng Zhen imagined.

Brought a pen from nowhere, the chief of the Vatican clan opened the scroll and made a few changes on it.Not long after, the revised contract scroll was handed over to Cheng Zhen again, Inver said. "Now you can sign."

Cheng Zhen took it over and took a look, and saw that where it originally said "make an alliance agreement with human beings", now two words have been added, and it has become "make an alliance agreement with human Cheng Zhen".Looking at his own name that was squeezed between the characters in a funny way, Cheng Zhen couldn't laugh or cry.

Is it really okay to delete a formal contract like this?

However, when he looked towards Inver with such thoughts, what he saw was the serious and solemn face of the chief of the Vail clan.

"I've changed it to a personal covenant with you. Do you have any other reasons to refuse?" the black-haired chief of the Van Er tribe said lightly with his hands crossed on his chest. "Or do you really think that the Vail tribe is not as worthy of your trust as the Botutan tribe?"

"No, it's just that senior made an alliance agreement with me personally. Is it really appropriate?"

"...Although I said before, the power of a person may be very small. But sometimes it is not the case." Suddenly changing into a solemn and serious tone, Inver looked at Cheng Zhen. "We all know that that person in history has the absolute power to reverse the outcome of a war."

Of course Cheng Zhen knew who Inver was talking about, but he never thought about comparing himself with that passed away legend.

Inver continued. "Perhaps I can look forward to the appearance of the second person who can reverse the outcome of the war."

With that said, he walked towards the door of the room. "I look forward to seeing you in the battle of Klein, as if you were fearless in the Council that day. Don't let me down, Cheng Zhen."

The door of the room was closed, blocking Inver's leaving figure from Cheng Zhen's sight.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had unknowingly signed the contract scroll.

When is it?Was it when Senior Inver looked at him with expectant eyes?

However, seeing Inver take away the signed contract scroll, Cheng Zhen could only smile helplessly.

Signing a name is equivalent to signing a bond.In this way, there is another shackle called "Van'er" on his body.

But maybe there's nothing wrong with that?

Cheng Zhen thought about it, and simply fell back on the bed, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Anyway, the door had already been closed by Inver, so no one would bother him now.

Put all the worrying things behind you first, seize the little time left and take a break before talking...
