The Dust Settles Chapter 32 The Flames of War, the Actions of the Imperial Federation

"Sang Yan, it's too late for you to regret it now, the childhood that Sang Mo endured was caused by you, and isn't this also the son of Shenghui that you want to see the most? Calm and rational, without any emotion, just like a god. The Second Elder slowly walked out from behind the screen, looking at Sang Mo and Hong Wolf who were slowly leaving the Hall of Elders.

"But am I doing something wrong? I just want him to grow up faster, shoulder the mission, and carry the banner of Shenghui. The Great Elder didn't care, the reluctance in his eyes was swept away, and he replied solemnly. I am the Great Elder of the Hall of Elders, the Messenger of the Holy Radiance, and I have the right to ......"

"But don't forget, Sang Mo is not only the son of Shenghui, but also your own grandson!" The second elder was so angry that he trembled a little, it had been so long, and Sang Yan was still so stubborn.

"Of course I remember, and I remember why my son died in battle, so I know better how important the Son of Divine Radiance is to us!" Sang Yan put one hand behind his back, and instead of looking at the second elder behind him, he turned his head to look away.

"I wish you could keep talking as hard as you do today!" The second elder flicked his sleeves and left the hall of elders directly.

Looking at the back of the second elder leaving, the Great Elder's hand trembled slightly, and his palm clenched the letter in his cuff, it was news about the northern realm, which was related to the overall situation of Shenghui next, and the Great Elder didn't know if he had the courage to face that result.

"It looks like it's time to go to the Imperial Federation, and the situation of the empire's decline over the years should also be changed!" The Great Elder finally didn't have the courage to face the result, he clenched the envelope in his hand, gently crumpled it into a ball, and held it in his palm, not opening it for a long time, but also strode out of the Hall of Elders.

……

"At the beginning, the Great Elder of the Shenghui Organization promised us to build the most powerful army for the Empire, and in this way, the Empire has been deliberately declining for so many years, and now it is time for the Shenghui to fulfill its promise!" In the Imperial Federation Parliament Hall, as the Speaker of the Federal Parliament with the highest status in the Imperial Federation, he looked at Sang Mo and said angrily.

At the beginning, in order to allow Shenghui to gain a firm foothold in the empire, the Imperial Federation did not hesitate to block all the people of the thirteen mines in the central part of the country, just to give Shenghui a foothold, but Shenghui has not fulfilled the promise he made over the years.

"That's natural, but before that, Your Excellency Speaker, don't you want to know the truth about the Northern Wilderness? Why did the Hoshino Empire break out in the first place, and how was the Hoshino Empire established? Sang Yan put his right hand behind his back, clenched the unruly letter in his palm, pinched his sleeve with his left hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Northern Wilderness? What else is there but prohibitions, viruses, and alien beasts? I prefer to study the subspecies of the Poison Mist region to the Northern Wilderness. The speaker of the Imperial Federation only glanced at Sang Yan, and then looked at the military newspaper in his hand.

"Your actions have aroused the vigilance of the northern realm, and now it is impossible to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the remaining 500,000 troops of the Imperial Federation are all pressed at the junction of the Dongliu and the Southern Regions at this time, and I only want to take the Southern Regions now." The President of the Federal Parliament said, gently putting down the battle report in his hand. "It's hard to chew too much!"

"But now the biggest obstacle to recovering the Southern Regions is Yuan Tinghuan's Fengtian Pavilion, that is, the army composed of mutants, I think as the speaker of the Imperial Federation, you should know why the deviants were eliminated in the first place!" Sang Yan only glanced at the military newspaper in the speaker's hand, and did not care about the content of the military newspaper.

"Are you threatening me?" The Speaker of the Imperial Federation was not angry, and there was only a slight helplessness in his tone, that matter had been hidden by the Imperial Federation for a thousand years, but he couldn't leak it when he was in office.

"I'm just reminding the speaker that if the two scourges of Yuan Tinghuan and Lin Zihan can't be completely eradicated, that secret will be revealed by them sooner or later, and then the Imperial Federation will be pushed down by everyone." Sang Yan said, with his hands behind his back and looking righteous.

"It's time to clean up the garbage in the Federation, otherwise it will really make people think that the Imperial Federation has really been weak and incompetent all these years!" The Speaker of the Federal Assembly stood up, looked at the golden gate behind Sang Yan and said, this is for himself, for Sang Yan, and even more for the world!

……

"The latest news from the Financial News, the four major family businesses of the Imperial Federation have all been seized for conducting arms transactions without permission, and all assets are owned by the Imperial Federal Bank!"

"The latest news from the government department, the Imperial Federation has decided to rectify military conduct and discipline after discussion in the Parliament, and seventeen military commanders have been executed for this, and the Imperial Federation Council has declared that it will not tolerate any rotting maggots!"

In the past three days, the news was full of explosive news about the Imperial Federation, and even the former top ten heroes of the Imperial Federation Army were completely confiscated and their family property was confiscated, and the person who presided over all this behind the scenes was Ji He, the Speaker of the Imperial Federation who was considered weak and incompetent by the world.

For a while, not only the three major inner regions under the direct control of the Imperial Federation, but even the four major border regions were also panicked at this time, for fear that the empire's king army would sweep through the city where they were located in the next second.

"It seems that Du Zhong is right, as a general who has long been away from the smoke of the battlefield, Du Zhong's political sensitivity is no less than that of war." Lan Luoran looked at the mountains of documents on the table, he had no intention of reviewing any of the documents at this time, not to mention that those documents were all about the Imperial Federation.

"I just don't know, can Du Zhong persuade Lin Zihan to stand on the side of the north for the secret of the Northern Wilderness and for the truth of the Northern Wilderness Army for thousands of years." Lan Luoran knew at this time that the Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Federation would soon descend south and set foot on the southern capital, and at that time, the Red Lion Legion in the north would be in a dilemma.

And the only turning point in this war is the secret of the Northern Wilderness, the secret sealed by the Imperial Federation, and the person who uncovers the secret can only be Lin Zihan!

"Pass the order, the Red Lion Legion will attack south at all costs, and must seize the mineral veins in the Southern Regions before the Imperial Federation troops arrive, and surround the Southern Capital!" Lan Luoran also knew in his heart that instead of pinning his hopes on uncertain factors, the northern realm must make use of all of his own to make the situation develop in a direction that is as favorable to the northern realm as possible.

"It's also difficult for Ji He, and he can really endure it for more than 30 years." Lan Luoran finally opened a document, just glanced at it, and then closed it again, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, this time the northern border was completely passive because of himself.

"It's not all, after all, whether it's the Imperial Federation or the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Regions all these years, they have been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to annex the opponent, but the Imperial Federation is hiding seamlessly, and we just ignore that no problem is the biggest problem." Du Zhong knocked on Lan Luoran's open door, and then said, holding a document with a black seal in his hand.

"You're still the same as when you were young, but it's a pity that you're the only one left of the three." Lan Luoran looked at Du Zhong, his junior, who was no longer as high-spirited as a teenager, and only Du Zhong was left of the three people who stood at the door of his office to ask for his life.

"But my heart has never changed, and this time I hope that Mr. Lan will be the same as he was at the beginning!" Du Zhong didn't smile, he didn't notice the reluctance and nostalgia in Lan Luoran's eyes, and handed over the document in his hand, the black seal represented the invitation to fight in the military department, and the invitation to fight to the death.

"You are the only one of the three children I was most proud of, do you have to watch me send you to the battlefield again?" Lan Luoran choked up a little, maybe at the beginning, Lan Luoran had already regarded Du Zhong as his own, but it was exactly like this, after his son died in the Northern Wilderness, Lan Luoran left him forever in the Lancheng Inspector Army because of Du Zhong's mistakes, away from the rear of the war.

"You should know that even if you don't agree, I'll go!" Du Zhong said firmly, on the veteran's face, it was a desire for war, a yearning for a bloody battlefield, "Since I have made up my mind, I will not change it!" ”

Du Zhong took a half step forward and gently separated the documents on the table, which were not one, but three, although the owners of two of them were no longer there.

"What about Lin Zihan? The north needs him, whether it is as a dragon son or an extreme individual soldier, we all need Lin Zihan. Lan Luoran picked up the military badge on the table, but he didn't cover it for a long time, because once it was covered, Lan Luoran didn't know if he could see his last child.

"I think someone will continue this matter, maybe it's Lan Hong, maybe it's Lan Xi, but it won't be me, I should appear on the battlefield, put on armor, instead of waiting anxiously in this Lan City!" Du Zhong said firmly, although he also wanted to deal with Lin Zihan's affairs before leaving, but the actions of the Imperial Federation had made Du Zhong unable to continue to stay in Lan City.

"In that case, then you can go!" Lan Luoran took the military badge in his hand and resolutely pressed it, three bright red military badges and three black private badges were stacked on top of each other, and for a while Lan Luoran couldn't tell whether this was a memory or a reality.

And Du Zhong looked at the three bright red military medals, stood up straight, a standard military salute, without saying a word, picked up the documents on the table, and strode towards the door, this time Du Zhong will bring his old friend and his own common ambition, so that the empire trembles for the north.

"......" Lan Luoran wanted to speak, but the words stopped abruptly when he reached his mouth, and his open mouth couldn't make a sound, so he could only watch Du Zhong leave his office, leave the hall of the military department, pass through the wisteria flower corridor, pass through a dark iron door, and disappear from his sight.

"Huh~" Lan Luoran sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart, and clenched the cup in his hand, but he didn't know that the cup had been crushed, and the glass ballast was pierced into the palm of his hand.

"It seems that it's time to meet old friends, otherwise we may not see each other in the future." Lan Luoran said in disappointment, and when he turned around, he realized that the cup in his hand had been crushed by himself, his palm was blown up bloody, and the glass on the ground was also stained with blood.

Lan Hong, who was standing at the door, looked at her grandfather in astonishment, she had never seen her grandfather so haggard and distracted as today, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant, and the wrinkles on his face had become deeper.
