Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the venue was dark again. But then, in the area of the councillor's quarter and the speaker's stand, the lights on the zenith lit up and illuminated the area. Ogellock coughed dryly and said, "Alright, it's time." Members of parliament must already know what to expect, so the next voting session. Regarding the declaration of war on Valhalla, please make your choice carefully. I am going through this on a personal note. ”

He slapped it on the table, and the number "2" immediately popped up on the four light screens above the speaker.

Members have a total of 24 votes and the Speaker has two. A total of 26 votes are cast, and an issue is passed when it receives two-thirds of the votes. There are three buttons on the speaker's table and the councillor's table, which are red, green and gray. Red is negative, green is in favor, and gray is abstention.

After Speaker O'Glok made his choice, the other members of parliament slapped the buttons on the table. For a moment, the green light flashed non-stop, and the numbers on the light screen kept jumping. For this major event, there is no parliamentarian who will oppose it at all. Because the declaration of war on Valhalla was proposed by the Speaker, and he was the first to vote, this represents the Speaker's will. The lawmakers weren't stupid enough to vote against it, and that would be the same as opposing Oglok. Therefore, even though two of the legislators really did not want to fight this war, they only abstained from voting, but did not dare to vote against it.

But when he arrived at Leo's place, the ruler of the Augustus family pressed the opposition button sharply, and a bright red "1" appeared on the light screen.

The audience was silent.

So the vote was over, and the declaration of war was passed by a large margin of 24 to 1. But Oglok looked at Leo anyway and asked, "Old friend, may I ask you why you voted against it?"

Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience immediately fell on Leo's body, and even Rhein, who had always been scattered, began to worry about his father's sudden move. Leo finally saw a trace of panic, he stood up, calmly faced the old man standing at the peak of power on the speaker's podium, and laughed loudly: "Old friend, what I am against is not this topic, but that such a meeting is not necessary at all. If it was your temper before, now it has already passed, where will there be a meeting here!"

Oglok's expression changed from solemn to a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Leo's words did evoke his memories.

What a war-torn era!

"This war is not only to be fought, but also to be fought beautifully. I, the Augustus, would like to fight a sentinel battle for the Council, because I can't wait to meet my old friend. Leo smiled, but his eyes burned like a flame.

His words evoked the memories of some of the old people present, while the young people did not know what to mean. In the audience, an old man with gray hair sighed in the face of the younger generation's inquiry: "That man of the Augustus family, in those war years, was a fierce general known as the golden lion. And his old enemy is Valhalla's Iron Tiger Cario. There was a battle between them, and that great battle is now a model for you to learn, and if I'm not mistaken, you call it the Hundred Days War, right?"

The young men who heard this all shook their bodies, and then looked at the figure standing tall in the councillor's district with an indescribable feeling. The Hundred Days War was one of the many battles that took place between the Dark Council and Valhalla, in which Leo and his family guards were ordered to garrison a city, but were attacked by Valhalla. Cut off from all retreats and all resources by Valhalla, Leo held out for three months. During this period, the attack and defense were moderate, and the army of Valhalla was dragged there and could not advance an inch, so that the council side could get valuable buffer time.

Zuihou parliamentary reinforcements arrived, and Valhalla's side returned in vain. As for the Augustus family, they naturally suffered heavy losses, and when reinforcements arrived, only ten people remained, including Leo. Since then, Leo's bravery and tenacity have earned him the reputation of the Golden Lion. It's just that after the end of this war, Leo devoted himself to the management of the family and gradually faded out of the circle of the council. So the younger generation almost didn't know that he was the golden lion of the year, after all, Leo's name was not mentioned in the tactical model.

When the Dark Council began to mobilize for this war, Asgard, far away in the Jurian Mountains, also got information about the Dark Council's actions 20 hours later.

On the top floor of the Twelve Main Halls of Asgard, in Douglas's office, Cario was gulping down a cigar. After a few moments, he slammed his cigar into the ashtray and clapped his hands in anger, "Ridiculous! When have we ever sent an army to attack the city of the Shadow Capital, I'm sure it was Olo's own trick." ”

Ben Douglas touched his rosacea and smiled, "Why be angry, my old friend. We all know very well what Augur is doing, and he is just trying to find an excuse for himself to send troops. ”

Cario nodded, frowned again, and said, "But when did that old thing become tied, if he had called him directly before, how could he play so many tricks?"

"Because it's different. The parliamentary structure is now much larger than it used to be, and like our Asgard, the military alone cannot support a city. The same is true of the council's Eternal Night City, and Ogy has to take into account the feelings of the others. Of course, if he had given the order, the Dark Council would still be in operation, but it is unknown how many people would have been willing to fight this war at that time. Ben said with a smile: "On the contrary, if you attribute your will to the banner of righteousness like now, and add some sweetness, those old guys who are not willing to be lonely will naturally be willing to do so." ”

"That guy still understands people's hearts so thoroughly. ”

Cario snorted and said, "In that case, do we have to get the two Tyr brothers back?" Damn, they've lost all contact since they crossed the Shadow Canyon, and I don't know what happened to them. ”

"There's no need to recall those two boys, we didn't rely on these hairy boys to get all this down now, did we? From the training of soldiers to the deployment of resources, these tasks cannot be completed in a day or two. Ben Yoyo stood up and turned to look at the city below, "Until then, it's time for us to take back the rights that belong to the military headquarters from those merchants and nobles." ”

He laughed.

According to the law amended by Asgard at the time, one of them is clearly stated. In the event of war, all classes outside the military are to be unconditionally obedient and provide the resources necessary for the war. This law seems unreasonable, but no one opposes it. After all, this is not an old era, a turbulent era, and it is the consensus of this era that force is respected.

After the Dark Council decided to declare war on Valhalla, cities and bases of all sizes along the coastline were boiling. With Grim Reaper Ridge for this reason, all cities are included in the strategic territory of the Dark Council. The army rode out in all directions, bringing Oglock's will to every corner of the coastline, and the Dark Council took advantage of this state of affairs to expand from the end.

The expansion will be divided into three phases, and now this is the first phase, where all the city bases included in the strategic territory will be reduced to rubble by the Bloodriders and the Council forces if they do not agree unconditionally. As a result, much of the territory north of the Grim Reaper Ridge was encroached upon by the Council, and in a matter of days, the darkness of the Council enveloped the area.

This phase will be completed in a few days, and when the first phase of expansion is completed, the Council will have the resources of most of the coastline. These resources will be invested in the massive war machine, thus accumulating the energy of the second phase of expansion. The second phase of expansion will advance westward, establishing supply and staging depots along the way until it reaches the Jurian Mountains and knocks on the gates of Asgard.

The day Asgard is captured will be when this phase is completed.

As for the Zuihou stage, it is to absorb the Liliang of Asgard and spread the darkness to every corner of the Middle-earth continent. Humans and aliens alike will bow at the feet of the Dark Council and Oglock!

"Hurry up, Big Master, the car is ready. A young man in his twenties shouted with a rifle in his hand.

They are Maast's bodyguards, and after receiving the Dark Council's declaration of war on Valhalla, and the start of annexing and clearing out uncooperative cities, Mast decides to leave Parkland's lair. At that time, after Zero and a few powerful powerhouses captured this place, they handed it over to Master to take care of. Under Master's run, Parkland's fortune began to flow into his pockets and Zero's.

At first, he was able to get in touch with Zero, but after a while, that connection was quietly broken. And now, the pace of expansion of the parliament has begun, and Master is well aware. At this time, the council would not allow people like him to exist, so as soon as he received the wind field, he immediately decided to leave Parkland.

Master sat in one of the cars under the arch of the guard, and two SUVs escorted the modified sedan he was in and began to drive down the street towards the gate. When he was still some distance from the gate, he was spotted by the guards on an off-road vehicle in front of him.

A man, dressed in a dark red robe. Lighting a cigarette, I leisurely watched the three cars coming. The guards on the off-road vehicle yelled, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die." ”

Obviously, the other side has no intention of backing down.

"Damn!" the young guard scolded, got behind the anti-aircraft machine gun in the back, and fired at the man in front without saying a word.

In the carriage, the moment he heard the gunshots, Master suddenly felt uneasy. Then the screams that rang out in the sound of gunfire confirmed his thoughts. He yelled, "Be careful, meet the enemy!" and then opened the door and rolled out of the moving car. At the moment of leaving the car, a sharp whistle sounded that made people's ears hurt, and then a blast of wind slashed through the middle of the car like a knife, and the modified sedan was split in two in front of Master's eyes!
