Chapter 228: The Family's Agenda (1)

More than 20 railroad tracks are arranged in an orderly manner, and they are manually adjusted at the port, converging into four to four large platforms, and there should have been many people waiting for passengers on the western platform, which was also the case when they came to the south, and they were received by relatives and friends, after all, they were not familiar with the place, and there should be many people who made a living by leading the way and carrying luggage, but these people were all expelled to the edge at the moment.

The whole drop-off area is lined with soldiers in black uniforms, resolute and cold faces, cold and cold eyes, double sword badges symbolizing iron-blooded fighting intent on their arms, black iron rifles on their backs, stabbing swords on the muzzle of the guns are flowing with cold luster, waist belts are buckled, and long military boots are worn on their feet, which is their concise and unified image. They didn't say a word, they were neatly arranged into a battle formation of hundreds of people, and there was a strong aura of slaughter circling around them.

Industrialization such as the rise of the comet, the domineering and hard-hearted local government, the prevalence of traditional and old martial arts, these are the impressions of a large number of outsiders on the south of the Federation, but the most impressive thing is the army here, you can distinguish the difference between the southern army and other armies of the Federation at a glance, the most important thing is the steely momentum, they can challenge everything and face death!

"How could the soldiers be here?" a fat man who looked like a merchant whispered to the staff who maintained order.

Although the staff knew the fat man, he was only a nodding acquaintance, and he naturally wouldn't reveal any information, not to mention that he only knew that a big man was about to come, and he couldn't let the idle people and other disturbances be there, so he simply made a silence action and glared at the businessman sternly.

Without the news, the fat man's curiosity was not satisfied, and he was a little disappointed, but he could only keep his mouth shut, the soldier standing there knew the answer, but he didn't dare to come forward and ask, interfering with the army's actions at will would be beaten into a sieve, and there were already a few arrogant guys who proved that this kind of thing would happen.

In fact, as long as you are a discerning person, you know that the army in this land is ridiculously powerful, even if it is a government, the main function is to assist the army, and the management of people's livelihood is only incidental. However, the Southern Army basically did not take the initiative to disturb the people, nor did it oppress other classes because of the superiority of the military profession, so as long as it did not break the law and commit crimes, did not have anything to do with the rioters, and behaved well, it was basically safe.

The only fear is that the generals of the army will bring turmoil to the Federation because of their excessive power and inflated ambitions, and some people like the parliament propose to reduce the Southern Army, but they do not get any response, they do not know that the big people in their eyes do not have the courage to do it, and they do not even have such thoughts.

Some of the big names are simply supported by the South, and the legislators belonging to other families may be on the opposite side of the South, but in their minds, the real control of the Southern Army is the head of the Del family, and it is simply impossible for the army generals to rebel and bring social unrest. As for the Del family master leading the turmoil, that's not something that their council can control, it's a game for the top families.

In anticipation, the train came from far and near, and the sparks of the iron wheel rubbing against the track splashed on the fine stone pile and disappeared without a trace.

A platform staff obeyed the instructions of his superiors, walked to the outside of the VIP car, and opened the door with his own hands, in fact, the door can also be opened inside, but obviously people with such a noble status cannot do it themselves.

At this time, the masses who were isolated on the platform were completely affirmed that this was to welcome a certain big man, but the southern aristocratic class was not huge, and most of them only had a glorious history and honorary titles. The Southern Army also did not allow any aristocratic forces to reach in, and they could not imagine anyone who could greet the Southern Army, and they were shocked and confused.

Ordinary passengers on the same train could not imagine the scene at this time, there were only murderous soldiers on the platform, which was not the same as what they had heard, and there was an inexplicable panic in the accident.

"Da!"

The platform of the railway station is usually a noisy place, but the sound of leather shoes on the ground can be heard clearly, and the soldiers snorted, solemnly saluted, and their eyes were blazing, this is their family master, and it is also their spiritual pillar!

The spirit is excellent, and even if there are only 100 people, the combat power is not weaker than five times the number of enemies. Charon commented in his heart, bowing his head slightly to express satisfaction, and Eugene behind him was already stunned, barely moving his weak legs.

"Salute!" The ten officers took two steps forward, took out a piece of black iron the length of their forearm from their waists, pressed the mechanism, the crack at the top extended to the middle of the black iron, the two parts of the split were pressed to the sides to form the sword holder, and the remaining half was the hilt, the blade of the sword pierced out of the sword holder, three fingers wide and one meter long, and the cold light was faint.

The right arm is crossed in front of the chest, the ten swords are straight up, and the ten people are spread out on both sides, forming a row of passages. This is the greeting salute of the subordinate knights to the loyal knights, and it is also because they are knightly squire-level and transcendent, so they are qualified to salute.

"Come with me. The flat tone contains majesty, there is no room for disobedience, once the identity is switched to the head of the family, there is naturally the aura of a high-ranking person on his body.

Eugene was beating a drum in his heart, this formation really scared him, but he didn't dare not listen to Charon's words, after all, the other party was an invulnerable monster, and he also promised to teach himself to gain strength, so he still moved his steps and followed closely behind Charon.

Young men and children, marching forward in the crowd of soldiers, quite the style of the great nobles when they traveled, and the bizarre rumors spread throughout the city in one day, even if many people were sure that they had seen it with their own eyes, but there were still many people who scoffed at it, no matter how prominent their status in the south was, it was impossible to send troops, just to catch the wind and wash the dust. Even if a person with a prominent position usually acts in a low-key manner, could it be that the status of a young man is higher than that of the governors, consuls, and generals of various districts?

However, what the wise people did not expect was that the unattainable governors, consuls, and generals in their eyes came to the outside of the ancient castle built on the mountain in the west of the city at this time.

The castle covers an area of about 50,000 square meters, with a dark and towering wall that is 20 meters high, and a black flag is planted at every few battlements, waving in the wind. Strictly speaking, this is Charon's home, the Iron Fort built more than a hundred years ago.

Compared to the castles of other top families, which include a small half of the town, the Ironheart Fort is considered to be very shabby, in fact, the Del family only follows the tradition of the noble lords to build the Ironcore Fort. In the eyes of the Del ancestors, the safety of the family depended on the strength of the head of the family and the army, rather than a mere castle.

The iron chain rolled and extended, and the iron-inlaid city gate was slowly lowered, pressing on the other end of the moat, and the steward in the castle came to pick him up, and the big men in the southern districts were not dissatisfied with the steward's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, nor indifference, and chose to enter on foot, leaving his subordinates and vehicles outside the fort.

At a time when the southern cities began to turn night into day, and electric lights and neon lights filled the streets, the Iron Heart Castle still maintained the tradition when it was built, with a brazier at every distance to illuminate the way forward, as for the rest of the place, only the light moonlight reflected, and those dark and invisible places did not know the humanoid beasts that came out of the hidden army.

It was not until they came to the house that this oppressive atmosphere dissipated, and the doors were opened to both sides, and the maids with beautiful faces saluted them dignifiedly, and they did not dare to be arrogant, and took off their hats and bowed in return.

Accompanied by the maids, they came to the hall on the second floor, where the long dining tables were neatly arranged, many precious foods were placed on the tables, and the chandeliers composed of sparkling gems hung from the ceiling, the effect was not weaker than that of electric lights, and the whole hall was bright and brilliant, and the famous instrumentalists stood on one side, playing beautiful and light music.

And at the front of the hall, high on the platform, Charon sat alone at a table, with the coat of arms of the Del family engraved on the wall behind him, after seeing that everyone was here, he raised his long-tailed wine glass, facing everyone from afar, the red wine rippled with magnificent beauty, "Welcome to the banquet of the iron heart!"
