Chapter 16: Bright Heaven
In the middle of the northeast, a newly built Western-style castle building was erected in a matter of days.
A group of uniformed guards of the Shun An Merchant House patrolled the castle, and every ten meters on the castle's tall walls stood a knight of heavenly punishment in full armor, and between every two knights stood a preacher in a white robe.
The one that can be guarded by such three independent teams is naturally the newly established Bright Heaven Headquarters in the Northeast Region-Shuntian Fort.
The castle's large conference room still smells of freshly renovated paint that has not yet dried.
An oval-shaped dark conference table is nearly ten meters long. The huge conference table was flanked by only seven large, high-backed cowhide armchairs.
On a chair in the middle, sitting upright was An Jiacheng with slightly frowning eyebrows.
Duke. Barry sat on Anjiacheng's left-hand side, his fat body just filling the entire chair. Duke. Barry had a big cold face and was not angry, more like a butcher than a bishop of the church.
A smiling Baili is next to Duke. Barry sits. After Zhongli Yuhua's death, he had a great reputation in the church, won the trust of Duke, and even got into the position of a member of the Seven Committee of the Bright Heaven.
On the right hand side of An Jiacheng sat a tall, thin and thin man in his fifties with an Eastern European appearance, with a faint smile on his face, it was none other than Elder Dylan, the head of the Illuminati in the northeast region.
Dylan sat next to an emaciated, gray-haired old European, who smoked a dry tobacco pouch with his eyes slightly closed, making the conference room smoky. It was Elder Nelson, who had disappeared for a long time.
Sitting on the last two chairs were two middle-aged unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman, who looked at the pretending to be people from Shun'an Commercial Bank.
This is the composition of the Bright Heaven Seven Committee, with Shun An Commercial Bank holding three seats and An Jiacheng as the chairman, and Heaven Gate and Illuminati holding two seats each.
The decision-making mechanism of Bright Heaven implements a simple majority system, and An Jiacheng, as the chairman of the committee, does not have the right to make full decisions, and any major matters and important decisions must be agreed by four committee members before they can be implemented.
The establishment of this decision-making mechanism has formed a delicate balance between the three parties, and the will of either party alone cannot affect the entire force, and all decision-making is the result of mutual cooperation and compromise.
There is no absolutely perfect mechanism in the world, but there is one biggest problem in the seemingly democratic and balanced decision-making mechanism of Bright Heaven - efficiency.
Every issue needs to be debated for a long time, and many of the arguments often end in nothing. Just like the three armed forces that exist outside the castle at the same time, neither side is at ease to integrate the armed forces in their hands into an armed force led by the Bright Heaven, which also lays the biggest hidden danger for the tripartite cooperation from the beginning.
At the conference table was a middle-aged woman sitting at the bottom. The woman's figure has been slightly blessed, her face is lightly makeup, her eyebrows have been carefully repaired, and her body exudes the jasmine fragrance of Chanel. She is the woman behind Anjiacheng in the rumors - Ye Xijun.
An Jiacheng is low-key and doesn't like to show his face, so it was this woman who stood at the front desk of Shun'an Commercial Bank. Ye Xijun is responsible for the finance, administration, logistics and even intelligence of Shun'an Commercial Bank, and her status is far above An Jiazhi, which shows An Jiacheng's trust in her.
"Chi Hua once again escaped our roundup, but his men suffered heavy losses, and he himself was injured again. The attrition tactics in the early stage should be said to have achieved the expected results, these people in Phoenix City have now fallen into the point of exhaustion, I suggest that one or two more attrition tactics be executed, and then all the second-order powerhouses of the three parties will be dispatched to completely eliminate the force brought out by Chi Hua at any cost. Ye Xijun's voice was very gentle, not at all like he was talking about a murderous thing.
An Jiacheng frowned and didn't speak, Chi Hua's matter made him quite embarrassed, and he was not the first to express his position.
"If Chi Hua is not removed, none of the three of us will want to be peaceful. Arrange it, the power of the Gate of Heaven will cooperate with it, just don't fall for that kid's tricks again. "Duke. Barry was the first to speak.
As soon as Duke said this, An Jiacheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the two agreed, and the matter was basically settled. As a matter of etiquette, listen to Elder Dylan.
Before Dylan could speak, Nelson, who had been smoking non-stop, suddenly opened his eyes and put the cigarette stick on the table, "Are these people in Phoenix really at the end of their lives?" ”
"Does Elder Nelson have any questions? Or do you have other opinions. Ye Xijun smiled and looked at Nelson.
"It's just a little strange, Chi Hua escaped from our encirclement again and again and was surrounded by us again, but he didn't keep fleeing in the direction of Phoenix, and he didn't run far from the east and west. Don't you think there's anything strange? ”
"It was we who targeted and strengthened the blockade of him and prevented him from escaping back to Phoenix, and he fled in a panic." Ye Xijun explained.
Nelson shook his head slightly, "You still don't know Chi Hua well enough, things are by no means that simple. Although I don't have any other sources of intelligence, Chi Hua must have other purposes, and it is better to be careful in the final encirclement and suppression. ”
An Jiacheng's brow furrowed even deeper.
Duke. Barry snorted lightly, "Someone was scared by Chi Hua, right?" ”
Nelson didn't refute, picked up his cigarette stick again, lowered his head, and continued to smoke.
......
Zhong Liyi's body turned, and six long tentacles danced quickly with Zhong Liyi's rotation, like a spinning top with tentacles dancing in the insect swarm, and the dancing impermeable tentacles dispersed the insect swarm within dozens of square meters around.
Zhong Liyi took advantage of this short gap to stop dancing, and gasped for breath with his hands on his thighs. Soon the void in the swarm was filled with black bugs again, and Zhong Liyi had to spin and dance again.
There was a scream from behind Zhong Liyi, and there were less than half of the people left in his officer corps, and everyone was crawling with black bugs. The clothes wrapped around his body were bitten and tattered by bloodsucking insects, which were still lying on the wounds and devouring them. The torch in his hand has long been extinguished, and he can only be used as a stick to slam in the swarm of insects, and the lethality of the insects is better than nothing.
Only You Yong was still in front of Zhong Liyi, tirelessly waving the metal fly swatter in his hand.
"Xiao Yi'er, don't worry, aren't these bugs? Brother must rush out with you. ”
Zhong Liyi's eyes moistened for a moment, and she knew that You Yong was still comforting herself at the last moment. They couldn't rush out, there were bottomless cliffs behind them, and in front of them were layers of dense and impermeable insect swarms, and even if they could rush through, there were still shadow wolf people in ambush on the periphery of the insect swarm.
Zhong Liyi still underestimated the "Insect Tiger" and "Shadow Wolf", but after entering the mountain, it became their home field. For three whole days, the insect swarm of the "Insect Tiger" was closely behind, and Zhong Liyi and the others had almost no chance to breathe. Occasionally, there was a chance to rest, and the wolf cubs of the "Shadow Wolf" soon caught up with them and attacked and killed people in the dark.
More than half of Zhong Liyi's officers died in the sneak attack of the "Shadow Wolf" and his men.
And today, because Zhong Liyi was not familiar with the road conditions, he brought the troops to the cliff, causing the troops to fall into a situation of total annihilation. Even so, no one complained about herself, and she saw a determination in their gaze.
"You Yong, get out! If you have the ability, you can rush out with them! Zhong Liyi shouted at You Yong.
Zhong Liyi's words of farewell seemed to be the last to stimulate the men's blood again, and the officers hugged Zhong Liyi. Several huge fireballs exploded in the swarm, and that was the ability they kept for themselves the final blow.
"Brigade Commander Zhongli, we will escort you and rush out!"
"Even if you die, you have to pull a wolf cub to die, I don't want my corpse to feed the bugs!"
"Brigadier Zhongli, I love you!"
"Yi'er, it's worth dying with you!"
At the moment when he was about to face death, the officers under Zhong Liyi, including You Yong, shouted out the words from the bottom of their hearts and hugged Zhong Liyi to kill together.
Zhong Liyi's tears could no longer be suppressed, fascinating his eyes, he should be content with so many people to die with him, right?
The tentacles on his body receded, and his beautiful face was restored. When you die, you must leave the most beautiful side of yourself to these men around you, Zhong Liyi raised his head proudly again.
A trace of cold snowflakes fell on Zhong Liyi's face.
Zhong Liyi thought it was an illusion, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but more and more snowflakes fell on his face and head.
Everyone stopped and looked up at the sky.
Tiny snowflakes are gradually turning into snow and ice, and the snow is falling in a fluttering manner, gradually covering a layer of white above the black mist formed by the insect swarm.
The temperature was rapidly decreasing, and the evolutionaries couldn't help but hug their shoulders and shiver, but at this time, everyone's blood was hot and boiling.
Here she comes!
In the sky full of ice and snow, the goddess of ice and snow in silver armor came from the sky with her wings fluttering.
She danced gracefully in the air, the white chill permeating her flight.
The cold air swept through the space, and the black insect swarm fell down like rain, and the insect corpses that fell to the ground were all clustered into small balls wrapped in a layer of ice crystals, like hailstones of Xiaoice, and soon a thick layer was piled on the ground.
Xiao Yu's hand waved quickly in the air, and the cold air in the sky stirred violently, swirling and rolling, and then became an ice and snow storm sweeping away the insect swarm.
Wherever the ice storm passed, the sky cleared, and all the bloodsuckers were frozen in the wind and snow.
A rapid whistling sounded, the swarm retreated rapidly, and the ice storm chased after the swarm.
Eventually, the sparse swarm that escaped from the ice-covered area was less than two-thirds of the original swarm.
Sharp spears suddenly shot from the forest below towards Xiao Yu in the air.
Xiao Yu waved his hand gently, the cold air surged, and the spear spear flying in the air was frozen in the air and fell straight down.
Xiao Yu swung down violently, and countless ice spears were bred in the cold air and shot towards the woods below, and the screams continued to sound.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
The cyan figures quickly retreated and disappeared.
The so-called one thing descends one thing, and the vicious insect swarm was buried in the wind and snow.
Xiao Yu flapped his wings and slowly landed.
"Sister-in-law, I love you to death!" You Yong opened his arms and hugged Xiao Yu.
"You're going to die!" Zhong Liyi stepped forward and kicked You Yong's ass hard, kicking him away.
