Chapter 467 Rebirth From the Ashes: Chapter 18 Wartime Meeting (Part 2)

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet, or it would be more appropriate to say dead silence. Even the dying star in the distance was more alive than here. Everyone at the table looked at the sound with a surprised look. No one dared to interrupt Vito before he finished speaking and allowed everyone to speak.

And the brave man was there. Everyone at the table looked at the lonely man. He stood alone at the edge of a corner of the holographic table. The dying sun shone its light behind him. The light overflowed from around his body, flickering and lighting up his outline. The golden U-letter logo on his chest flickered on the chest of the imperial eagle with wings spread out.

Eisenstein, along with all the angels of death behind him, looked at it. Lancelot also subconsciously pressed the sword. The blade made a soft sound in the sheath. The sound was actually very low, but in this dead silence where even a piece of paper could be clearly heard, the sound in the sheath was particularly conspicuous.

Bell stood behind Vito and frowned at the symbol on his chest. The symbol was exactly the same as the one on the cloak behind him, which meant that they belonged to the same faction, and this was what made Bell feel most uneasy. That person spoke on behalf of the owner of the symbol.

"I haven't let everyone speak yet, Mr. Anthony. Your speaking seat is after Captain Cole and Captain Renata. You shouldn't disrupt this order." Vito said kindly. He didn't seem angry because he was suddenly interrupted, especially considering who interrupted him.

Anthony nodded humbly. He stood on the other side of the table with his hands behind his back, clasped his hands and hung them on the belt behind his waist, looking polite. He was indeed a polite foreign guest.

"I apologize for this, my dear lords. If I have offended you, Marshal Vito, please forgive me and allow me to continue speaking." Anthony buried his head, as if waiting for Vito's acceptance. In fact, he could only accept it, right? If he refused, he would appear to have no temperament.

Vito sighed and waved his hand, signaling him to continue, "Since you have already started, please continue, Mr. Anthony." "Thank you, sir, your plan just now is very outstanding and effective, please accept my personal praise." "Thank you, Mr. Anthony."

After complimenting, Anthony raised his head and looked at Vito's face. The polite compliment was over, and the pleasant part was over.

He raised his head, Anthony glanced at the knights on both sides of Vito, and then picked up a glass of wine from the border of the holographic table. It was a glass of wine that seemed to have been drunk. Anthony held the glass and looked around. Seeing that no one pointed it out, he walked to the table with the glass.

He reached out and placed the glass on the holographic table, on the vast star map displayed on the table. Under the glass was a star field. Anthony stood at the table and overlooked the blurred image of the planet under the glass, and then put his hands behind his back.

"I'm sorry, Marshal. I personally approve of your plan and intention, but as a vassal of the Regent, I must oppose you and order you to regroup your current forces and go to the Gemini Star Region of Ortusa."

"You said order?"

Vito said softly, and Lancelot behind him tightened the hilt of his sword. He stood by Vito's side and stared at Anthony.

Anthony took out a rolled-up letter from his arms, which was rolled up with a blue ribbon and sealed with fire wax. He walked over and approached Vito with the letter, but was stopped by Lancelot who stepped forward.

The knight stopped him, and the gray plate armor blocked him. Anthony and Lancelot looked at each other and the latter stretched out a hand. Anthony also put the letter in the knight's hand. The latter stared at him fiercely and turned back to Vito and handed him the letter.

Lancelot stood beside him with his sword pressed, and the other knights behind him also stood around. Everyone pressed their weapons and looked at Anthony with hostility, but the latter stood by the table with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Vito examine the letter.

He looked at the U-letter mark of Macragge on the fire seal. After a moment of silence, he broke the fire seal and opened the letter to read it. Bell stood beside him and watched Vito reading the letter. He looked calm, and his expression gradually became subtle as he stared at the content above.

He smoothed the lower half of the scroll with his fingers, looking at the content and the signature below with a subtle expression. Lancelot on the side also looked over. He looked at Vito's expression, and the latter put the letter down after a while.

"I will follow the order of the regent, Cole, gather the troops."

Cole nodded slightly, but Lancelot on the side became excited instantly. He glanced at the letter, then suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it at Anthony. The tip of the sword almost hit his forehead, where a scarlet blood line flowed.

Anthony stood there calmly with his hands behind his back, staring at Lancelot. The latter held the sword and stared at him. The tip of the sword in his hand continued to move forward and scratched Anthony's skin.

"Guilliman is not qualified to order the Supreme Marshal! He is the Supreme Marshal appointed by the Emperor himself! You have no right to order him!"

"Lord Guilliman is also the Regent appointed by the Emperor himself, Sir Knight, if I remember correctly, the Regent is higher than the Marshal." Anthony said fearlessly, he stood there, not moved by the sword in front of him that made him bleed.

He was there, his face calm, "The Regent is the highest authority in the Empire after the Emperor, you all need to obey his orders and cannot have any doubts."

"Bullshit! I am the son of Lion! I will never obey Robert Guilliman's orders! I!" Lancelot shouted, while Anthony remained calm. He continued to put his hands behind his back, "Then, the son of Lion will also obey. The Dark Angels Chapter swears allegiance to the Emperor, which means swearing allegiance to his spokesperson, the Regent."

Lancelot's forehead was instantly bulging with veins. He raised his knight's sword after an angry roar, but was pulled back just as he was about to chop off Anthony's head. He turned his head sharply to look at the person who was holding him. It was Vito who held him back.

Vito's other hand was still holding the letter. He shook his head at Lancelot, then turned his head to look at Anthony with his hands behind his back. Two lines of blood flowed down his forehead, from the corner of his eye to his neck.

"Go bandage it, Yeta, you help him stop the bleeding." Vito said calmly, his tone showing the demeanor and calmness of an emperor. Yeta nodded, then took out a handkerchief from her arms and stepped forward. Anthony also bowed politely to Yeta.

"Thank you, young and beautiful lady." "You're welcome. Go sit over there. It's easier to bandage." Yeta pointed to the bench beside him. Anthony bowed to Vito, and Vito nodded politely in return. He watched him walk to the side, and then turned to Eisenstein.

"Contract the defense line, first protect the current star field, and the rest, we will talk about it after the problem is solved." "Understood."

Eisenstein disappeared at the table, Vito turned around and left with the letter in his hand, Lancelot immediately followed with a sword, and Bell also followed out of the meeting room after looking at Cole worriedly.

Cole looked at them. Anna beside him came up silently. She folded her arms and turned her back to Cole, but leaned close to him and whispered, "Who will win?"

But Cole just turned around, with his hands behind his back, looking at the dying sun. He didn't know who would win, he only knew one thing.

No matter who wins, the fight between demigods will always bring more trouble.
