About an hour and a half later, the crimson flame around Philip I had completely burned out. His body weathered, turning into dust and drifting through the air.

Conshuri stood in place, looking at the dark golden arm guard left by Philip I, with a melancholy expression that was indescribable.

While enjoying the further integration of his soul, Li Mochen was also looking at the arm guard. His eyes flashed with strangeness, and he thought that this Philip I did not seem to care about the Wildenstein family, and before he died, he had left a good thing for his bloodline.

Based on the original mythical armament containing the power of 'curse' and 'doom', Philip burned everything in himself and the Philosopher's Stone to sublimate it again.

Not only has it strengthened the two divine powers of 'curse' and 'bad luck', but it has also engraved the divine power of 'disaster' in the armguard. On top of that, it's also very strong in defense and can manipulate the power of fire.

All of this has greatly improved its level, crossing the threshold of medium mythical armament.

The point is that this thing is also the same as the scarlet dragon armor, it is also labeled as bloodline, and in the future, only the descendants of the Wildenstein family can use this thing, which is enough to be a magic weapon of the supreme family!

After looking at it with admiration for a moment, Li Mochen turned his gaze to Kang Xiuli.

"Old man, he's dead, but you don't look happy?"

"In my early childhood, it was Philip who personally guided me in my studies and bloodline development. At that time, he was the god in my mind. ”

Conschuli's face turned pale: "I have washed away my hatred, but Chrissa, your mother Elena, and our unborn child are all gone, and there is no way to undo it." If I could, I would prefer none of this to happen. ”

Li Mochen couldn't help but be silent, and after a light sigh, Kang Xiuli threw the dark gold arm guard to Li Mochen: "Give it to Hézel, its original name was 'Cursed Gauntlet', and it was Philip's mythical weapon from the Indians. But for now, it might be more appropriate to call it 'Philip's Flame Arm'. I didn't really like it, and I didn't like to see anything related to Philip. But as a mythical weapon, this thing is still very powerful. Of our Wildensteins, only Hazel can use its power to its fullest potential. ”

"Wisely, she won't let this equipment down. ”

Li Mochen simply put away the arm guard, but he regretted that Hairouer's accumulation and background were still too weak. Otherwise, with this mythical weapon alone, Hazel could become a weak god-level combat power.

"I'm sure you've protected her too closely. ”

Kang Xiuli had already begun to sweep his gaze around: "How's the situation in the city?"

When Philip lit the divine fire just now, he was still fully absorbed in the former. He knew that Philip was tenacious and had a large number of secret methods, and as long as he made a slight mistake, he might give the other party a chance to recover, so he didn't dare to be distracted at all.

It was only then that he had time to pay attention to the situation in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

"Not so good, even bad—"

Li Mochen's expression also began to become complicated: "The post-war disaster relief is going quite smoothly. At present, Atlanta's property damage is very serious, with more than 50 collapsed buildings alone, worth at least 30 billion gold dong. There were also many casualties, with more than 35,000 people confirmed dead and 3,700 missing, according to current statistics. ”

In America, even the deaths and injuries of a major natural disaster cannot reach this number. And the unjustified calamity of these people was caused by the war between him and Philip and the National Association of Progressives.

It is worth mentioning that a large part of them can actually survive the disaster. As long as his secondary body makes an early move, he can control the situation in Atlanta.

However, if today's war were to happen again, Li Mochen would still do it, and he would have no regrets. Only by seriously injuring Ron Edmund first can he kill the demon wolf Fenrir and seize the 'Sky Scepter'.

Otherwise, his enemies may not be able to win in Atlanta, but they will be able to preserve their vitality to the greatest extent possible and take away the demon wolf Fenrir and the Sky Scepter.

The tragic situation in Atlanta reminded him of his original intention of starting immortal law cultivation.

He will not be dominated by others, and he will not lose his life because of the thought of others - this is the reason why he stepped into the door of cultivating immortals, pursued the avenue, and pursued power.

"That's not bad!"

Kang Xiuli's expression was very calm, and he didn't care about the deaths and injuries of more than 30,000 people at all: "I will let the Wildenstein Charity Foundation follow up and provide high pensions to the casualties." But the aftermath is still very troublesome, what are you going to do?"

"Come one by one. ”

Li Mochen sighed again and looked at the dozens of black smoke columns in front of him: "If you mean public opinion, I have a way to solve it." ”

After all, this war was won by their side, so the gain was very large. In the future, the Howard family alone is on the bright side, and the assets of up to 370 billion gold are enough for all of them to eat and drink.

Therefore, the more troublesome follow-up matters are only casualty compensation and property compensation, as well as public opinion.

He knew that Consciuary didn't care how many people died in Atlanta, and in this person's eyes, as long as the number of dead people in Atlanta didn't exceed a certain number and affect the business of the Wildenstein family, he didn't care.

Therefore, the only thing worthy of this special mention is public opinion, and the government power that is coerced by public opinion and public opinion.

In the aftermath of this incident, the Wildenstein family, as a party to the war, and those responsible for the large-scale disaster in Atlanta, will surely be drawn into the whirlpool of public opinion and criticized by the media and the public.

If they are not handled well, they will be in a situation like street rats for a period of time in the future, and they will be generally rejected by American society.

However, in this regard, Li Mochen already had a plan to deal with it long before starting this war. Although initially, he only intended to fight Philip I and others in the suburbs.

Kang Xiuli's eyes were half incredulous, but he didn't ask again: "So how did you get this time?" I mean those demigods. ”

"It's more than expected!"

Speaking of this, Li Mochen's spirit was slightly lifted.

In this demigod war, in addition to the 'Sky Scepter' and 'Philip's Flame Arm', he gained two pieces of low-level mythical weapons alone.

A piece called 'Blue Sky Armor', from the demitheric Clara Kanzel, known as 'Blue Sky', can allow people to control the 'Divine Power of the Sky'.

- It's the natural sense of 'sky', not the conceptual sense of 'emptiness', but it's still very powerful. It can control everything in the sky, suppress the ability of others to control the sky, and enhance its own ability to resist wind, water vapor, thunder, and other aspects related to the sky.

The second mythical weapon is a ring called the 'Ring of Strength'. From Ron Edmund, the magician. The power and divine power of the ring is 'strong'.

It allows a weak mage to have a demigod-like physique, while increasing it with a 'strong' theocracy.

Fortunately, Ron Edmond didn't know much about the field of 'strong', and less than ten seconds after he appeared, he was seriously injured by a shot by his deputy Li Mochen. Otherwise, this theocratic ability can at least increase the combat effectiveness of Philip I and others by more than three percent.

And before Ron Edmund returned to his kingdom, Roberto Yvonne, who killed the 'blood-eyed angel' in the near future, with the help of Robespierre, forcibly cut off his arm, and also made the powerful magician lose this powerful artifact.

The following is a whopping thirteen quasi-mythical weapons, the vast majority of which were contributed by Admiral Giorgio Matteola. Those six long knives are all of a mythical rank.

Thomson Beo thought they were not good and was ready to sell them to him for 1.5 billion gold. This refers to Thomson Beyo's share, the death of Admiral Giorgio Matteola, and the rest of the men also contributed.

As for those holy weapons, as well as the huge amount of property carried by those demigods, Li Mochen no longer cared about it. It was Robert, who found the blank in the alchemy room of the 'Conservation of Energy' magic tower, which made him care very much.

If I'm not mistaken, the artifact that seems to have been refined from the bones of the heir of the 'Earthly Python Jalungad'—

※※※※

As Conscelli had predicted, less than twenty minutes after the events of the Atlanta War, all of America was filled with news coverage of the war.

Not only are the major TV networks reporting 24 hours a day, but also those channels with large ratings have produced special programs for this purpose. And at least half of all the pages of all newspapers, whether they are political news or entertainment sports, are related to the war in Atlanta.

Accuse the Wildensteins of being unconscionable and lawless. Comments on accountability for the public safety incident, as well as calls for government sanctions, have surged in every corner of American society.

At this time, the benefits of having the fifth-largest media group in America began to appear.

On the fourth night of the war, during prime time, when the heat of the Atlanta War had subsided, a 45-minute documentary about the 'Beast's Blood Elixir' was broadcast simultaneously on all twenty-five stations of the Rising Sun Network.

The bloody images, the estimated death toll of 1.97 million, the tragic images of a large number of missing people of color mutating into monsters under the influence of drugs, and the phrase "National Association of Progressives" that repeatedly appeared in the documentary once again detonated public opinion throughout America.

Late that night, more than 30 million people poured into the streets, paralyzing traffic in all major cities in America. Many of the properties and buildings belonging to this association were destroyed.

Then at eight o'clock the next day, on the talk show of the American Current Affairs TV, the host Arnold Carroll aimed his resignation at the "National Association of Progressives" and opened fire with all his might.

This gold medal host, who was poached by Ms. Drew's high salary, not only exposed the relationship between the demon wolf Fenrir and the 'National Association of Progressives', but also hinted to the public intentionally or unintentionally that the cause of the Atlanta God War incident may be related to the 'National Association of Progressives' trying to cover up the truth of the 'Veterinary Blood Potion'.

Although the Wildenstein family is still under attack by many media, the main focus of the American people has shifted to the 'Veterinary Blood Elixir' and the 'National Association of Progressives'.

Even in Atlanta, because the Wildenstein Group and the Rising Sun Group held a press conference in a timely manner, issued a statement that they took the initiative to take responsibility and were willing to compensate for the losses of all walks of life, all walks of life have stopped denouncing the Wildenstein family one after another.

As a result, the district attorneys in Atlanta and Georgia also temporarily slowed down the investigation of the Wildenstein family's illegal affairs.

"Things are getting better right now, boss. ”

That night, Nannett Drew spoke to Li Mochen on the phone again: "You don't have to worry too much about the parliamentary side, under the current circumstances, it is difficult for them to pass a bill to sanction Wildenstein and the Rising Sun Group, as well as to thoroughly investigate the truth of the Atlanta massacre. The White House will not allow it, after all, our great president is to blame for this incident. Everyone in Atlanta heard it at the time, and Admiral Giorgio Mattiola was his appointed envoy, and he was an ally of ours in this regard, and he would do his best to restrain the members of the Civic Party. Some in Congress also know the consequences, and if this bill passes, it will be a huge disaster. The only beneficiaries will be the National Association of Progressives. ”

"—The best defense right now is offense, and I will continue to create public opinion to force the FBI and the Department of Justice to investigate the 'Veterinary Blood Drug' incident in depth, and continue to expose their violations. ”

Nannett Drew's voice was full of confidence: "So rest assured boss, the National Association of Progressives is notorious and inextricably linked to the Ku Klux Klan. They have too many weaknesses to be attacked, and in the media and public opinion, they are naturally at a disadvantage. I don't dare to say that it will be completely dismantled, but I swear that if the current intensity of the attack is maintained, I will shrink the size of the National Association of Progressives by seventy percent in a month at most! The only thing I'm worried about is the Ministry of Defense and the military, many of whom have high expectations for the 'Veterinary Blood Elixir'. But now, we've stabbed it with one kick. ”

"On the military side, you don't have to worry about it, Ms. Drew. We have a trump card in our hands, which is enough to replace the 'Beast Blood Elixir'. In fact, I had already contacted the Secretary of Defense, Lieutenant General Daniel Boone, not long ago, and they were very interested and promised to appease the guys for me. ”

"Wow!"

Lady Drew let out an exclamation, "Replace the 'Beast Blood Elixir'? If that's the case, then I don't need to worry about anything, just wait for my good news, boss." ”

"I'm looking forward to it, Ms. Drew!"

Li Mochen also smiled relaxedly: "I feel more and more now that it is really my life's luck to hire you to host my Rising Sun Media, and I have to thank you." ”

"That's my lucky boss!" Nannett Drew chuckled: "Whether it is the Rising Sun Media or the 'Beast Blood Elixir' incident, it is inseparable from your military support, in this world, media people like us are actually very weak." ”

"That's my business after all, and that's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"

When Li Mochen said this, he paused: "I heard that the Civic Party is ready to push you to run in the South Carolina Senate by-election, but you rejected it, right? This is a rare opportunity, Drew——"

"No, no, Boss, I'm still young, I'm only in my early forties. At my age, even in Congress, I am not likely to be the dominant senator. ”

Ms. Drew interrupted Li Mochen's words: "As the manager of the fifth largest media group in the country, I can make all the members of both houses of Congress beg me to build my own network and influence calmly." But if it's in Congress, then I'm just a little shrimp under the command of someone. I'm crazy to give up my current position at this time to run for a little senator, and it's not too late until I'm sixty. BOSS: I haven't gotten the equity incentives you promised me, have you? Or are you dissatisfied with my current job and ready to change people?"

"How is that possible?"

When Li Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "OK! I just want to tell you that I have my full support for any decision you make about your future, Ms. Drew. ”

After hanging up the phone, Conshury, who was sitting in the chairman's seat not far away, raised his eyes and looked at him: "Ms. Drew is indeed an outstanding professional manager, especially in the media. This time the war of public opinion was fought very beautifully, so that we would not be drowned by the spittle of the people. Andrey, you can convey my appreciation to her. ”

"It's really impressive. ”

Roth Linden also let out a chuckle: "I thought that this situation would be very troublesome, at least for three or five years, I would have to be a man with my tail between my legs." ”

At this time, the group of them was in a conference room on the ninety-eighth floor of the Wildenstein Building.

Li Mochen does not like to participate in the affairs of the Wildenstein Group, and when he can push off the internal meetings of the group, but when he can't put it off, he is also distracted by personal practice, as well as the study of the 'roots' and the 'avenue'.

But the meeting they are having today is how to divide up the assets left by the enemy.

Including the Howard family's assets of 370 billion yuan in the light world, as well as a large military fortress and many armed personnel worth more than 150 billion yuan in the dark world. In addition, this family also has a large number of hidden assets that need to be clarified one by one.

The property directly and indirectly controlled by Philip I also reached more than 70 billion, and the Margaret siblings also controlled a huge wealth of nearly 30 billion.

There are also a few dead demigods, and they also have some property in Atlanta, and Conshury does not plan to keep them for them, and is ready to take them all together.

But now, after all, it is a society under the rule of law, and these assets must be transferred to them in a 'legal' form. The means are nothing more than fictitious debts, false losses, etc., but they are very troublesome.

So until the fifth day after the war, they were not able to deal with this aspect of affairs. Thankfully, in Atlanta, no one dares to take food from them at the moment. The strong force taken by the Wildenstein family, all parties are trying to cooperate, so everything is going well.

And if all the procedures are completed, the Rising Sun Group will get a real estate company worth 42 billion gold dong, a pharmaceutical company worth 37 billion gold dong, and an 'East Coast Union Bank' worth 50 billion gold dong, and the 'Fort Howard', which will be renamed 'Moon City' by Li Mochen.

The city is not far from the Scarlet Lands, about 12,000 kilometers away, in the middle of a depression. Li Mochen plans to build a Rising Sun City in the Blood Red Land, echoing Moon City from afar, and then find a way to open up the two territories in the future and connect them.

In addition, there are some sporadic stocks and real estate owned by Li Mochen, totaling about 20 billion gold shields.

As for the rest, most of it is owned by the Wildenstein Group and Conshuri personally. Then the Lindons, the Targaryens, Franks and others will also divide a part of this huge cake according to their own contributions.

It wasn't until 10 o'clock in the evening that a complete plan was reached for the distribution and transfer of these assets.

And just as everyone here got up and left with satisfaction, Franks asked with concern: "Amo, the Fort Howard side, should be fine?"

He was referring to the Fort Howard side, the private army that originally belonged to the Howard family.

In the dark world, this family has a private army of eight field divisions, with a total of 170,000 people, and more than 20 legends.

Originally, with the strength of the Wildenstein family and the Rising Sun Group, it was still easy to solve these private armies and legends.

But the problem is that Li Mochen still has to face the war with the National Association of Progressives at the same time.

The fight between the two is now not limited to politics and the media. In the financial and business circles, the two sides are also engaged in various forms of secret warfare.

For example, preventing the Rising Sun Electrical Appliance Retail Company from obtaining new stores, cracking down on the capital flow of the Wildenstein Group, and interrupting various cooperation with this side, etc., as if the momentum of Mount Tai was overwhelming.

However, these moves by the National Association of Progressives were not enough to shake the foundation of the Wildenstein family. Fiercer fighting broke out between armed men on both sides.

At this time, the outlaws and legends on both sides are engaged in fierce firefights and battles across the country.

In terms of numbers, the Wildenstein Group is undoubtedly at an all-round disadvantage. However, they have a great advantage in the battle at the legendary level.

The Void Night Monarch and Li Mochen himself can perform high-speed maneuvers across the country, and they also have the 'Banishment Technique' and 'Dimensional Vortex' that make most demigod powerhouses powerless. This caused the demigods on the opposite side to easily dare not get off the field, and once the number of legendary levels exceeded three or more, they would all suffer a strong blow from Delphinia and Li Mochen.

And the Wildenstein family's advantage in the legendary level has also had to be transmitted in the past, which has led to the current situation where the two sides are evenly matched.

In such a state, Li Mochen also sent troops to occupy 'Fort Howard' and sweep away the remnants of the Howard family, which could not but worry Franks.

Li Mochen smiled back: "No problem, Mr. Benedict has already agreed to my request for borrowing troops." It was enough for the Benedicts to send three field divisions, plus four armored regiments of my own, and two reinforced infantry brigades, to deal with a group of leaderless and disheartened fellows. ”

"Roland Benedict? ”

Franks smiled dumbly: "It's good if you have confidence, if you feel that something is difficult, our Teutonic Cross has three hunting groups on the Antolian continent, and we can be transferred back to Atlanta at any time." ”

And after this person left, Li Mochen looked at Kang Xiuli again: "I noticed it at the beginning of the meeting, you have something to say to me, right?"

"It's about the Margaret siblings. ”

Kang Xiu looked at him with a complicated and obscure gaze: "Are you asking Clark Banfield to find out their whereabouts?"

"There's such a thing. ”

Li Mochen had no intention of concealing it, he bowed slightly: "Banfield told me that he has found some powerful clues and will find their whereabouts soon." ”

Kang Xiuli couldn't help but take a deep breath: "At this moment, I don't know what to say. Andrey, they are my children after all. ”

"But they are my enemies too. ”

Li Mochen's eyes were cold, and he did not back down: "You can't stop my revenge, it's my right." ”

Kang Xiuli frowned slightly: "Hatred doesn't need to kill to solve, you may be able to do it another way." Andrei, they are your blood relatives after all, and there is no threat to you anymore. ”

"Impossible!"

Li Mochen sneered: "Old man, Philip is also your blood relative, why don't you change the way?"

This is the bottom line that he is not allowed to back down, the hatred of the original owner, and the blood debt of Elena's mother and daughter must be repaid with blood.

Kang Xiuli couldn't help but gaze slightly, the eyes between the two of them clashed, and there seemed to be sparks flying between each other.

At this time, the mobile phone that Li Mochen placed aside rang the bell.

Li Mochen didn't pay attention to it, and it wasn't until the phone rang for the second time that he picked it up with a frown and pressed the connect button.

Then the voice coming from the microphone was Lady Christy Brad.

"Are you free now?"

Ms. Bled smiled: "Our President, he would like to speak with you in the near future to exchange views on your dispute with the National Association of Progressives. This country cannot continue to be chaotic. The war between you has caused a great deal of public disturbance and unrest. ”

Li Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, knowing that this was Ms. Drew's public opinion offensive that had played a role.

Until then, the White House seemed to have forgotten the city of Atlanta, and they didn't care about the Weltons.

So Li Mochen also used a tone of no interest: "Free, of course, I am honored to be able to talk to Mr. President." But Ms. Brad, you seem to have gotten something wrong? We have never been at war with the National Association of Progressives, and we are not interested in them. I've always been a law-abiding businessman – yes, you can relay that to Mr. President. Please apologize to him on my behalf, but we had no choice but to do this disaster in Atlanta. Yes, it was our enemies who broke the agreement in the first place. ”

"You have to talk, don't you? So you have to make sure that the content of our conversation this time has nothing to do with the National Association of Progressives, so it's eleven o'clock in the evening?"

After this communication was over, Consually looked at him intently: "I know that Anthony is about to be promoted to legend, and you need to spare some strength to help him as soon as possible." But now, we must not make peace with the National Association of Progressives. Their war potential is more powerful than you can imagine. If you don't do some things now, you won't be easy to do later. ”

"I understand. ”

Li Mochen stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room.

The call that Mr. President asked for naturally had to be the kind of encrypted line to ensure that no one could listen in on it. Otherwise, why not be solemn, you have to agree on a time first.

As for Kang Xiuli's worries, Li Mochen also knew it. The three supreme families of the National Association of Progressives will find a way to restrain the Sky Scepter and the Void Night King at some point.

If not at this time, deal the greatest blow to this huge organization and destroy their cornerstones. Then in the future confrontation and confrontation, the Wildenstein family will be under great pressure.

For the enemy, he and Conshuri have the same handling style, like a raging storm, try not to leave any room for it!

And just as Li Mochen stepped out of the door of the conference room, Kang Xiuli's somewhat helpless voice floated in: "Andre, you can take revenge, but I also ask you, try not to hurt the innocent." ”

Li Mochen turned his head and glanced at the old man inside: "Don't worry, I have clear grievances, and my goal is only those three sisters and brothers." As for their children, as long as they don't do things that cross my line, I won't do anything to them. ”

However, Kang Xiuli's words were not finished: "Andre, you are going to go to the Old World recently to find the Blood Crown, right?"

"Do you have a different opinion?"

Li Mochen frowned again, he did have such thoughts.

The whole version of the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor', he is very much looking forward to it, and naturally the sooner he gets it, the better.

Moreover, there are many strong people in the Bright Sect in the Old Continent, and Li Mochen thinks that the longer this matter drags on, the more variables there will be. If the Medici guys feel uneasy and simply destroy the Blood Crown, or throw it into the dark world, the abyss of hell or something, it can also prevent him from getting this artifact.

"The original prototype of the Blood Crown was a crown made for him by many slaves under the command of Spartacus, called the 'Crown of Equality'. Its core competence is 'equal' theocracy. Therefore, even those angel kings who have the status of 'Lord God' are equal in front of the Scarlet Dragon Armor. ”

"Then when Spartacus died, the gods of the Roman Empire tried to force him to submit. But Spartacus did not bow down to them until he died. And his tenacious will is also left inside the 'Crown of Equality', which not only gives this mythical weapon the divine power of 'unyielding' and 'escaping', but also has the characteristics that it cannot be destroyed, cannot be submitted, cannot be imprisoned, and cannot be sealed. Therefore, it took thousands of years for the Holy See to destroy it, and in the end it could only be left to the end after the decline of the Hohenstaufen family. In addition, the Hohenstaufen family was able to use the 'Crown of Equality' because one of our ancestors hid the whereabouts of Spartacus's only daughter and erased everything about her. ”

Li Mochen's eyes lit up slightly, and then he strode out the door.

He had been speculating about what kind of ability the 'Blood Crown' had, but even if Li Mochen had searched all the magical historical materials he could access, there was no detailed description of the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor', and naturally there was no details about the war between the Emperors of the Hohenstaufen family and the angel kings of the Holy See of Light.

But if it is the concept of 'equality' theocracy, he can understand it. Why can the kings of the House of Hohenstaufen be able to compete with them in the most powerful era of the Holy See?

Li Mochen also understood Kang Xiuli's intention in saying these words, and the time to obtain the 'Blood Crown' was not as early as possible.

The Scarlet Dragon Armor can give him the power to keep up with the kings of angels, but it can't give him the knowledge and ability to harness this power.

If he had fought with equal strength, the kings of the angels would have crushed him now.
