The fan hanging from the ceiling spun rapidly, making a whirring sound, and the artificially created moving air blew up the white gauze curtains, revealing the scorching sun outside the window. Faintly, you can hear the hoarse chirping of summer cicadas in the shade of the trees outside.

Leaning against the corner was a huge ice bucket, half of the ice had melted, so that although it was the heat of the fire outside, the room was cool and pleasant.

In the middle of the room sat a large oak table, surrounded by several silent people.

They all had glasses filled with ice cubes in their hands, and by this time, the walls of the cups were already stained with a layer of water.

The smoke of the cigar light blue sè diffused throughout the room, stirred away by the wind blowing from the fan.

Harrison, dressed in the new uniform of the Semitic Republic Navy, was in deep thought, shaking a glass containing amber liquor, the crisp sound of ice clashing.

A hand reached out next to him, holding Harrison's wine glass, and someone said irritably, "It's noisy." ”

Harrison angrily slammed the wine glass on the table, making a crisp "bang" sound, and the wine spilled out and splashed on the bodies of several people next to him, causing everyone to complain.

"Hey, what are you doing. ”

"Be careful. ”

“......”

Merlot was stroking her forehead and bowing her head in contemplation, awakened by the noise of the crowd.

He looked up at the few young people sitting beside him, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Okay, don't make any noise." I know everybody has a fire. ”

After a pause, he continued: "This time the responsibility is on me, and it is my fault. ”

With the shaking of the hand, the all-diamond white gold watch with eight hearts and eight arrows on the wrist shè a dazzling silver sè light.

"I miscalculated the form shì," Merlot took a deep breath, straightened her back, and said in a deep voice, "The shape shì is more complicated than we thought. ”

The handsome and handsome Morgan clenched his fists, smashed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "Those mediocre old guys, don't they know what patriotism is?"

Joseph, Jonah nodded, and said with hatred: "I originally thought that Chief Parker was a character, but I didn't expect to be so short-sighted.

Just because Lorraine saved them, do they listen to humans unconditionally?"

Colonel Langley next to him shook his head slightly, and said very tactfully: "Speaking of which, the power of human beings is still too great.

Compared with them, our current strength is too small, just like a child standing next to a strong man, just as helpless.

A momentary setback is nothing, and time is on our side of the black sè band.

By the time the old guys in the council are dead, many of us probably haven't been able to find a girlfriend yet. ”

Listening to this curse-like self-deprecation, the young man at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

All the time, the young people at the core of the Black Sè band regularly gather at Merlot's house.

In this war, the black sè band played a great role.

Like the young soldiers of the old Prime Minister Madorin Slalong, these ambitious young people were all self-proclaimed loyal patriots.

In order to get rid of the enslavement of the undead high priest to the Semitic people, and to win the dúlì and zìyóu of the nation, they did not hesitate to risk the destruction of their families, echoed each other with the human race, and finally succeeded in driving away the undead high priest and the lich, and overthrowing the old zhèngfǔ headed by Madorins.

But what they didn't expect was that victory came so quickly. It far exceeded even their most optimistic expectations.

With Melo becoming the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs of Lingshan, these young men also took up important positions.

They are now all in power, full of vitality, and their self-confidence is naturally high, like all young and ambitious officials, they often point fingers and scolds Fang Xuan.

At the same time, they have also become the darlings of the upper class, youth is their greatest advantage, and everyone has a bright future.

As long as there are no problems, no corruption, no messing around with the relationship between men and women, even if it is a seniority, at least one can retire as a legion commander sitting on one side.

Therefore, these young people are all above the top, and they are very empty-eyed.

But this time the setback in parliament had severely dampened their morale, and almost all the republican political forces stood up against them.

The tricky impermanence of the political zhì taught them a good lesson, and although they were all spiritual jīng ying, brave and fearless warriors, they were still beginners in the political zhì game. A rookie who has just broken out of his shell and has egg liquid on his buttocks.

Merlot shook her head and said, "But our losses this time are too great, and now many people are consciously isolating us. ”

Several people nodded at the same time, knowing that the wind had changed in Arcadelin since Parker and Hawkes teamed up with President Brad to stop him.

After all, Parker and Brad, one representing the surviving old zhèngfǔ era, and the other representing the flourishing new zhèngfǔ, together they represent Lingshan.

Compared to them, the Black Sè is only a minority.

These young people have a deep understanding of what it means to be warm and cold and the world is hot and cold.

In the past, before they could get off work, the lounge was crowded with people who invited them to dinner, and the young people of Akkadrin were centered around them.

Whenever I go to a party, I don't go to ask the girls to dance, but on the other hand, the girls come to ask them to dance shyly and timidly.

When there is nothing to do, I often receive fragrant love letters written by ladies and ladies, and even sometimes, there is a key attached, an appointment or something, anyway, all of them are very yellow and violent, and it is rarely inappropriate.

But now, it seemed that there was something nasty on them, and everyone immediately hid away when they saw them.

In political terms, this is the collusion between the feudal landlord class and the comprador bourgeoisie, joining hands against them.

Melo said in a deep voice: "This defeat has dealt a great blow to our prestige. Especially the damn Brad took control of the newspaper, and you know the weird tone of the newspaper.

This cannot go on forever, or we will be marginalized. ”

The others looked at each other blankly, and they also knew that the situation was not good, they were isolated in parliament, and their popularity among the people was decreasing, and in the long run, when the elections were opened in the future, I don't know who else remembered their black sè band.

Without votes, then they cannot enter politics and are powerless to change the status quo.

Of course, if you really go out and lose face, you can also engage in mutiny or something. But don't forget jì, that's how the old prime minister, Madolins, did it and came to power in a mutiny. A bad precedent was set. Let all the politicians, soldiers, aristocrats, and even the common people have lingering fears.

In this case, people are extremely wary of this kind of thing, and they have strengthened their precautions.

Even the failure of Merlot and others this time was largely due to this reason, and the politicians were also wary of these young Zhuang soldiers.

In order to achieve their goals, these black sè band dogs are really unscrupulous, even betraying the country and their comrades-in-arms. What else can't they do?

Therefore, no matter what, they can't be allowed to gain momentum~!

"We must find a way to change the current unfavorable situation," Morgan said indignantly, "Do you want to control the country in the future as traitors and weak and incompetent opportunists?" ”

"Of course not, but what can be done?" someone said dejectedly: "zhèngfǔ, the army, the parliament, are not in our hands. ”

Although these young men were brave and resolutely opposed to the High Priest of the Dead and the old Semitic people when they were not clear, they were not qualified politicians and were at a loss for the current predicament.

The sound of wheels rolling came from the window, and Merlot looked up curiously at the window, wondering in her heart: who else would come to the door at this time?

Then, there was the sound of the door opening outside.

Everyone couldn't help but fall silent and looked at each other: now that everyone is shunning their own people, who will take the initiative to come to the door?

A few minutes later, a servant knocked on the door of the chess and card room and said confusedly, "Master, there is a man who claims to be the drummer of the band from outside to visit." ”

Merlot was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly showed a surprised expression, and she jumped up from her seat and said, "Please...... No, no...... I went to greet it myself. ”

The others had never seen Merlot so excited, and wondered who this person was, and from his self-proclaimed claim, this person was also a key member of the band Black Sè, but they had never heard of it.

After a while, Melo enthusiastically pulled a person into the room.

The man was burly and had a large bony figure. His eyes are sharp, his expression is firm, his chin is thick stubble, and his clothes are very old, which makes him look dusty.

The open collar exposes a hairy and muscular chest, with several scars on it, and the whole person looks majestic.

Merlot pressed him into the chair at the top and smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Batutusta, Lord Acaturis's assistant and close comrade-in-arms. ”

The others were immediately moved, both surprised and admired. This man was supposed to be the leader of the rebel army, and his scars were enough to prove his great achievements.

Batusta smiled implicitly and nodded slightly.

Merlot continued, "You haven't met him because Mr. Batusta has been in charge of the most dangerous work, traveling between the two continents and communicating with Lorraine.

The information we have obtained is sent to humanity through Batusta, and it can be said that without Mr. Batusta, there would be no victory for us. ”

I don't know who took the lead, but the young people next to him applauded almost at the same time to show their respect.

Batusta waved his hand at the crowd and smiled contentedly.

Merlot took a bottle of Coca-Cola from the ice bucket and put it in his hand, and asked eagerly, "Why are you here?"

Batusta craned his neck, drank the entire bottle of soda, exhaled comfortably, and then pinched the cold soda bottle and sighed: "You capital people will still enjoy it." ”

Then his tone changed, and he said: "I can't come this time, the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." ”

"So?" Melo exclaimed, "Didn't the old man personally lead the team, and with his prestige, would anyone dare to blow up the thorn?"

Batusta smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that Lorraine yet, he sent a team of war fortresses to threaten us, ordering us to retreat to the provincial border.

The old man thought that negotiations were about to begin, and he was even ready to sacrifice himself to find a good way out for the brothers.

But that cunning Lorraine did not contact us at all, and sent the war fortress every day to throw leaflets on our heads, saying that if we went back and settled down, each of us would be given thirty acres of land and exempted from taxes for two years.

You know that we people are working hard, and not all of them are forced by the land, and as soon as those dogs and cubs heard about the division of land, they all ran out in a hurry, like herding sheep. ”

The members of the Black Sè band looked at each other, and they all saw the disdain on each other's faces: this problem is easy to solve. Chop off a few heads and see which puppy dares to run away?

Can't even do this little thing as an officer?

At this time, he saw Batusta slamming the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's just that the old man is soft-hearted, saying that everyone is working hard, isn't it just so that the people have something to eat and a field to plant?"

Therefore, it is not allowed to be blocked at all.

People are running almost the same, and now we are all about to become the commander of the light pole~!

How shameless do you say this Lorraine? As soon as the mill was unloaded, the donkey was about to be killed. Alas......"

Merlot and the young men of the Black Sè band looked at each other, and could not have imagined that something would happen in Arcatarithius.

But if you think about it, it's normal. The old zhèngfǔ is gone, and it's time for them, the rebel army, to disappear too.

However, there were a large number of officials from the old era in the republic, and there were deep contradictions with Arcatris, so it became a problem to solve the rebel army.

Unexpectedly, Lorraine actually played the bottom of the kettle, separated the high-ranking officials and officers, and directly used the land to buy the soldiers of the rebel army.

Although Batusta's words were nice and gave Arcatrithius prestige, it should be pointed out that he could only do so at the time. If it is forcibly blocked, it will definitely deviate from morality and lose the support of the insurgents.

This move can be said to be a stroke of genius, and everyone secretly sighed in their hearts, worthy of being Lord Lorraine, who is known as the neighbor of Hades, and disbanded the rebel army without spending a penny.

"What's even more infuriating," said Batusta, with a dark face, "that kid from Lorraine sent a letter to the old man, asking the old man to come to Akadrin to be a senator, and he didn't want to think about how many enemies the old man had in Akadelin.

And the old man actually agreed, I just came to play the front station. ”

Merlot was overjoyed, and Acatrisulfis was coming, which was equivalent to saying that their black sè band had another character with a banner.

Although the old man did not deal with the bureaucrats in the zhèngfǔ, he was extremely appealing among the people at the bottom, who made up the vast majority of the population.

Therefore, he comforted in his mouth: "It is better for the old man to come, and only within zhèngfǔ can he exert his appeal." ”

Batusta shook his head and said, "I can't trust Lorraine anyway, I had contact with him when the Semitic people were robbing the war fortress. That son of a dog is in the dark......"

The members of his black sè band couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances: it seems that this product did not suffer from Luo Ye's losses at the beginning. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so careful with the lord.

Batus sighed for a long time, and suddenly changed his tone, "By the way, I heard that you are in trouble?"

Merlot smiled wryly, speechless.

Batusta continued: "The old man also knows, and before he came, he said to me, you are in a hurry, the human morale is high, and it is impossible to gain support to challenge their authority now, and to do great things, you must first be patient. ”

Merlot said stupidly: "If only this sentence had been known to me half a month earlier, now we are not human inside and out." ”

Batusta smiled mysteriously and said, "The old man has a clever plan to redeem the current disadvantage and revive our prestige. ”

Melo was suddenly overjoyed, grabbed Batusta's arm and asked, "What did the old man say?"

Batusta said slowly: "The old man just said two words, Zheng Lei Shan~!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Merlot jumped up violently and said happily, "Good idea." ”

If you want to say who Lingshan hates more than humans, ask a hundred Lingshan people, and a hundred people will answer in the affirmative: Thunderbolt.

As the two most populous Semitic tribes, the hatred between the Psims and the Thunderbolts lasted for two millennia—long before the Semitic disintegrated.

Although it is no longer clear why the two races were hostile to each other in the first place. But that doesn't stop the two communities from hating each other.

For the Lingshan people, conquering Thunder and establishing a truly unified Semitic clan is undoubtedly the most prestigious achievement.

And now that President Bullard has just gathered two or three hundred thousand troops from the governors, it is basically equivalent to saying that everything is ready.

Batusta said: "But I have a question, why Lorraine has not attacked Thunderbolt, with the strength in his hands, it is very easy to defeat Thunderbolt." ”

"I know that. Merlot said: "The human alliance has just forced the governors of the provinces to surrender, and they need time to thoroughly digest the fruits of victory and establish a safe rear. Humanity's supplies traveled from the Caribbean, and to reach Thunderbolt, it would take more than half of the Flash. ”

"That's in the past. ”

Melo said: "The question now is, how can we force zhèngfǔ to take the initiative to attack Lei Shan, according to my analysis, Lorraine is actually more willing to negotiate with the Lei Shan, as long as the Lei Shen people meet his conditions, he is not willing to spend that effort and military funds to fight the Lei Shan." ”

"Before I came, the old man told me, if you are in trouble, think more about what Lorraine should do," said Batusta. ”

"Lorraine......" Merlot pondered for a moment and said: "If it were him, he would definitely not come openly, he should let others tell his purpose, I understand~!"

Merlot raised his head, stared at everyone with blazing eyes, and said, "We must first build momentum and provoke the feelings of the people." Then go with the flow. ”

"How?" Morgan asked, puzzled.

Melo suddenly laughed and said, "Thanks to President Brad, Arkadrin now has seven or eight newspapers, and we just need to find some gunmen." (To be continued.) )
