Chapter 406 Huo An, who slipped away unnoticed

The materials distributed by Ulrik did not provide detailed information about Liang He's life.

This is also the reason for everyone's concerns.

No one could feel at ease entrusting a powerful Beast Taming Army, which might even surpass the orc legion, to someone of unknown origin, even though Liang He had always presented a friendly image.

"I have already learned about Liang He's life through video with Lan Xing, and there are no objections."

As the supreme commander, Ulric would certainly not make such a basic mistake.

However, due to the conditions of communication with Blue Star, he had to keep this matter confidential.

Despite the fact that Blue Star is just an ancient and distant planet, Ulric's intuition tells him that it's best not to anger it.

"If you are not at ease, I can vouch for Liang He in the name of the Supreme Commander. If she does anything to betray the interstellar community and the Federation, I will take full responsibility."

Ulric's words caused an immediate silence in the room. Those who had wanted to continue pressing Liang He's identity and background no longer dared to utter a sound.

Clearly, Ulric wanted to support Liang He and make him the commander of the Beast Taming Army.

"Since you've said so, we naturally trust you."

"In that case, I suggest that we don't start with a big fuss. Let's try it out on a small scale for a while first, and then give everyone an explanation after we achieve some results."

“I agree. If Liang He is truly capable of getting orcs and animals to cooperate in combat, I will fully support the Beast Taming Army plan.”

Everyone expressed their opinions, but none of them gave a direct answer.

Ulrik had anticipated their suggestions and preconditions and did not object to them.

"Okay, then it's settled."

After the meeting ended and everyone left, only Ulrik and Hoan remained in the conference room.

Ulric looked at Hoan, his dignified expression carrying a hint of elder's kindness and a smile.

"Xiao An, your uncle wants to poach someone from your team. You don't have any objections, do you?"

That's right, Ulrik is Hoan's uncle, which means his wife is Hoan's aunt and a member of the Hoan family.

This is one of the reasons why Huo An was able to sit here and listen to this top-level secret meeting.

"……I have no opinion."

Even if he had opinions, Huo An couldn't say them.

Although they are family in private, Ulric has always been strict about separating public and private matters, and is dignified and upright. He will do his best to promote anything that is beneficial to the Federation and its citizens.

Not to mention the Beast Taming Army plan, which was designed to fight against the Federation's greatest enemy.

"However, there is one thing I need to remind my uncle."

Huo An paused, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to speak frankly and give a reminder.

"I am quite familiar with Liang He. She has always been a free and easy person."

"That's fine. If she finds management too troublesome, I can just give her an assistant!"

Ulric waved his hand dismissively, not taking the matter to heart at all.

All he needed to do was for Liang He to use her abilities to make the beastmen and animals cooperate in battle.

"No... I mean, she might reject you."

Even though Ulric is the Federation's highest commander, if Liang He doesn't want to do something, no one can stop her. At worst, she can just go back to Earth. Anyway, no one can really keep her locked up.

"...Are you serious?"

Ulric was startled by Hoan's words and almost thought he was hallucinating.

The commander of the Beast Taming Army, who directly deals with him, has power and status far exceeding that of others. With such conditions, can Liang He really resist being tempted, or even refuse him?

Ulrik didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

"In short, you'd better prepare in advance and think of reasons to persuade her."

After giving his respected uncle a "precautionary warning," Huo An turned and left without the slightest hesitation. If he didn't leave quickly, the task of persuading him would probably fall to him; if he didn't leave now, when would he?

"Eh?!"

Ulric, who had just realized what was happening, tried to call out to Hoan, but Hoan was too fast to stop him.

"...This brat is getting less and less lovable."

Ulrik, who was grumbling and cursing, was both annoyed and amused.

Knowing that Huo An was unwilling to get involved in this mess, he didn't want to force him. If Huo An complained to his aunt, he would be the one to suffer.

"It seems I need to discuss this further with the big brother of Blue Star."

Ulric knew that forcing someone to do something for him would only result in a significantly less effective performance.

Therefore, to get Liang He to agree, we still need to take a roundabout approach.

At this moment, Liang He, unaware that he had been targeted by the Supreme Commander, was still leisurely riding around on horseback with Evelyn and Laila.

"Neigh...neigh..."

For some reason, Liang He noticed that their horses were acting a little strange, as if they were somewhat scared and anxious.

Just as Liang He was trying to calm the horse, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the stable, startling the horses in the stable into scattering in all directions.

"Whoa—! What's going on? I feel like the horse is out of control!"

Leila realized something was wrong and frantically pulled on the reins to prevent herself from being thrown off the horse.

Evelyn, who was skilled in horsemanship, was tense, clearly having never encountered such a situation before, and seemed somewhat dazed.

As members of royalty, the horses they ride must be docile and of excellent quality, capable of quickly stabilizing themselves even in unexpected situations, unlike what we see now...

"Oh no, it must be an earthquake!"

The horse trainers live here year-round and have a better understanding of the island's conditions.

Due to its geographical location, the island occasionally experiences slight tremors, but these are far from enough to cause such panic among the horses.

Is the situation serious?

This was the first time Eugene had encountered such a situation, but fortunately, his horse was his own, making it easier to control than Lyra and Evelyn.

"It's not serious, but the horses are frightened and there might be some accidental injuries."

The horse trainer knew very well that the island was not at the epicenter of the earthquake, but was only affected by it, so there would be no serious casualties.

The main problem now is to calm the horses and prevent them from running out of the riding area.

"Oh no, I just saw Xiao Hei rush out!"

Eugene loudly reminded the horse trainer.

The "little black horse" he mentioned was the one Lyra initially wanted to choose.

The other horses have been domesticated and are relatively easy to control, but Little Black is different.

"I'll go after it right away! Mr. Eugene, please take the three ladies and leave the horse farm immediately to seek refuge elsewhere!"

The horse trainer mounted the horse that worked best with him and rode straight towards Little Black.

Eugene, on the other hand, tried to put the remaining horses back in the stable.

"Neigh—neigh—"

"Neigh...neigh!"

Unfortunately, Eugene was not a horse trainer and hadn't spent enough time with the horses, so they simply wouldn't obey his commands.

Looking at Eugene, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, Liang He finally spoke.

"Should I do it?"
