Chapter 319 Fourfold Forward Base
Fourfold Forward Base had been completed a full century ago.
From the day it entered service, the Central War Zone became the strongest of humanity’s three major war zones, and the most stable steel line of defense the species possessed.
Imperial Military Academy’s motto, “With flesh and blood, we build the galactic wall,” had also come from this place.
Those words were not decoration.
Behind them were countless martyrs who had walked willingly into death, pouring blood and bone into humanity’s future.
The livestream comments exploded for a brief moment.
Then, almost at the same time, the screen went empty.
A few seconds later, it filled again.
This time, every line was a salute.
The same atmosphere spread through the starship.
Julian turned his head and saw rows of military academy students silently rising to their feet. One after another, they lifted their hands in salute toward the vast deep-space fortress outside the portholes.
Julian did not understand that emotion.
So he only leaned by the window and watched the dark universe quietly, like a lonely little mushroom whose greatest wish was to finish the competition and leave.
“Julian, take your seat. We are about to land.”
Joanna Hale was an Omega, so she naturally had strong affinity. Because of that, she handled most of the team’s communication and coordination.
Just as she said, the competition fleet soon entered Fourfold Base and landed outside a designated hangar.
The livestream cut off.
The teachers leading the schools were summoned for a meeting.
The students stayed in their teams, followed the Seventh Legion guides, and began their tour of the base.
“Hello, everyone. I will be your temporary guide. Harlan Turner, captain in the Seventh Legion.”
Julian’s eyes narrowed.
Harlan Turner saw that tiny change.
His smile froze on the spot.

A chill shot from the soles of his feet all the way to his scalp. His entire Alpha body nearly went numb.
Because he was not some random officer.

Back when the Seventh Legion’s failed cleanup of Zerath had caused heavy losses among Imperial Military Academy candidates, Lieutenant General Prynn Watson had sent Harlan to deal with the aftermath.
And what had Harlan done?
Nothing too impressive.
He had merely worked with the Holt family to shift blame onto Julian.
He had merely delivered a hush-money document to Julian.
And when that failed, he had merely contacted the Whitmores and helped them pressure Julian, who had still looked easy to bully back then.
But none of that had been his idea!
Those had been orders from First Prince Isolde and Lieutenant General Prynn Watson, all right?
“You…”
Julian had barely spoken when Harlan clasped both hands together and started begging for mercy.
“Little Master Julian, please look at the facts clearly. I was forced by circumstances back then. I was still a colonel. Now I get reported and inspected every month. I have already been demoted all the way to captain…”
He was halfway through pleading when Julian’s next word arrived.
“Who?”
Harlan: “…”
Good.
Fantastic.
“Her looks, the timing, the fact that she had a chance of giving birth to an Omega, and the likelihood that Sebastian Whitmore would risk everything for her.”
Rowan’s voice lowered.
At the beginning of the investigation, he had first broken Elias’s facial features into data and run comparison after comparison against a huge pool of possible candidates.
Omegas first.
Then Betas.
Given Sebastian’s arrogance, and the general nature of Alphas, the other party could not have been ordinary.
Appearance.
Family background.
Talent.

All three had to match.

Then came Sebastian’s movements before Elias’s birth, followed by the chain of events after Elias was born.
“More than a year before Elias was born, Yuzuki Blackwell and Sebastian Whitmore had secret contact. The communication was frequent. A few months later, it cut off without warning.”
The next time the two crossed paths…
it was shortly after Elias’s birth.
There was still no direct proof that Yuzuki had handed the child to Sebastian.
But with the Blackwell family’s underground reach, making such a transfer disappear would have been ar too easy.
“On paper, Sebastian’s biotech company was working with her on civilian medical pod upgrades,” Rowan said. “But too many signs point in the same direction. Enough for me to keep digging.”
