"And what are you looking for me for?"

"Confirm the Prosius case, if it is true, then this war must be stopped, and the parliament cannot waste its resources on the war of the Speaker alone. Speaking of this, Zuo Fei paused: "There is one thing you may not know, just yesterday, Phoenix City has fallen. ”

Shuya looked up.

"Interestingly, it wasn't Valhalla that attacked Phoenix, but the army of Dawn. This up-and-coming city has actually stepped in, and it's strong. Therefore, the overall situation is already unfavorable for the parliament itself. Add to that the Speaker's insistence on going his own way, and the parliament could soon collapse, which most MPs do not want. ”

"So what, no one can stop him. Xiuya lowered her head and said.

"Major General Shuya, it seems that you have been in Dawning City for a while. Zuo Fei said suddenly.

Xiuya nodded in acquiescence.

"So what kind of person do you think Zero in Dawning City is?" Zuo Fei frowned and said, "According to our observations, this person has always maintained a neutral attitude before. But all of a sudden, the position changed dramatically, and it was really unpredictable. ”

"Because he also knows Prosius. Well, actually, about Prossius, that's what Zero told me. I also know the purpose of his participation, which is to unite Valhalla to end this war as soon as possible and avoid human internal friction. Shuya said frankly.

Zuo Fei's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, then it's easy to do." ”

"How?"

"You also know what kind of person our Speaker is, especially his absolute strength. Zuo Fei smiled bitterly: "This is the helplessness of this era, even if we oppose it, but the speaker with the strength of the twelfth order can completely use his own strength to implement his ideas." To stop him, it is not enough for the current parliamentarians to unite, we also need the help of one person. ”

"Leo?"

Zuo Fei nodded and said, "That's right, Leo is a close friend of the Speaker and the ruler of Augustus, the number one tycoon in Eternal Night City. Only with his nod can he hope to oppose the Speaker's decision. But not just anyone can say anything about Leo, especially to make him believe in Prosius. This person can't be a member of the council, let alone a member of Valhalla......"

"You mean, let Zero impress Leo?" Shuya suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

"That's right, and for now, Zero is the right person to be the right person. He knew about Prosius, and he was strong enough to be on an equal footing with Leo. As a third party outside of Council and Valhalla, I think Leo would seriously consider what Zero said. Zuo Fei said in a deep voice: "So I hope that the Major General can leave for Phoenix, as for here, I can buy you some time, the speaker will only think that the Major General is still in Prison No. 1." ”

Xiuya's face turned cold: "Do you know what you're talking about? Are you plotting rebellion, planning to make me stand up against my father? against the person who gave me a new life?"

Zuo Fei looked into her eyes and said, "I don't think the major general is happy to see the parliament collapse, otherwise he wouldn't have clashed with the speaker as soon as he came back." Please be sure to think carefully, because one of your decisions may be the life and death of thousands of people. Think about it, Miss Xiuya, if you were one of those soldiers, would you wish you had died in a senseless war?"

"No, they don't want to. They can die fighting to defend their homes and protect their loved ones, but they don't want to be a victim of someone. I know what the Speaker means to you, but right now, your father is dragging thousands of people to hell!" Zuo Fei said this, and suddenly bowed to Xiuya and said, "I only plead with you here on behalf of those soldiers who do not yet know what they are fighting for. Major General Shuya, at least, make their lives seem worthwhile. ”

Shuya was silent.

The command center in Phoenix has been requisitioned by zero, and in the battle hall, on the plasma tactical board is a war zone map, in which the forward base of Niru City, where the council is located, is highlighted and circled. Zero's hand pointed at the city and said to the people below, "Guys, this is our ultimate goal on this battlefield. According to the information given to us at Valhalla, the city of Niru was originally a ruin, but after being transformed by the council army, it is now a multi-purpose base for troop stockpiling, logistics, field medicine, arsenal, and command center. ”

"There is no doubt that the city is the heart of the parliamentary army on the front line. But it won't be easy to get rid of, first of all, Niru City is located in a surrounded mountain range, which is a natural protective barrier. Secondly, in the mountains on the way to the city of Niru, the council has several sentinels in this area. These sentinels are the first ones we want to clear and the next ones we're going to target. ”

Zero propped his hands on the table and said, "I have sent a list of supplies to the front commander of the council, Hart, for the redemption of the prisoners, and set a time and place for the exchange. While I'm going to trade with Hart, Brown, Night, and Berrien, each of you will have two battalions of troops, and then a reasonable mix of biological weapons and abilities, so as to eliminate these sentinels in one fell swoop. ”

Brown whistled and said, "Awesome, finally got work to do." ”

"Don't worry, you're going to have to do it next. Zero smiled and said, "It would be nice if Hart was there in person for the afternoon transaction." I wonder what Augustus will do to redeem this future master. ”

After the meeting, the Browns were busy gathering their soldiers, selecting abilities and biological weapons suitable for mountain combat. In the afternoon, Zero arrives at the prison and takes Rhine out along with the other council powers. Those who are capable are all grouped into a truck, and Rhine is escorted by Zero himself. Zero takes Kaede and shares an off-road vehicle with Rhine, and the two cars drive out of Phoenix and head towards a trading location designated by Zero.

The location of the trade is located in a small town halfway between Phoenix and the Frontline War Zone, which was originally a settlement and is now abandoned. The displaced people fled, and now only empty houses remained, and the wind whistled low through the doors and windows, blowing some empty cans to the ground with a tinkling sound. Arriving a little early, the two cars stopped in the open space outside the town, and the ten Ogma giants that followed the cars on foot lined up. They are tasked with keeping an eye on the council on the truck, and if these people make any moves, ten giants will be enough to kill them all.

"Soon you will be free. Zero said to Rhein, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "What are your plans next? Do you want to stay with your eldest brother to help? Then you have to be careful, let me catch it again, it's hard to imagine that Hart can still take out a large amount of supplies in exchange." ”

Rhine shook his head and smiled, "That's what you have in mind? Let me guess, are you also thinking that if you want to wait for Wishhart to make this deal himself, you also plan to catch him and make a deal with my father?"

Zero was noncommittal, and spread his hands and said, "This idea sounds good. ”

"Alright, Zero. Rhine said, "What are you thinking, why are you participating in this war, do you want to share the benefits with Valhalla, or do you want to develop the power of Dawning City to the coastline?"

"Mr. Rhine, there are some things that you may not understand. Anyway, I have my reasons for doing this, and I don't feel the need to explain it to you. Zero said lightly.

In the back seat of the car, Kaede, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes at this time: "They're here." ”

Zero looked up, and a cloud of dust and smoke gradually appeared on the wilderness in the distance. Moments later, three trucks, along with several modified black cars, stopped a hundred meters away. People came down from the car one after another, but in the first car, it was not Hart who got down, but a Peugeot woman.

"That's Shirley, Hart's secretary. Rhine said, "It seems that you have been disappointed that Hart did not come in person. ”

"It's okay, I can send what I want. ”

Zero jumped out of the car and walked straight ahead. The secretary named Shirley also stepped forward and met Zero in the middle.

"I thought Hart was going to make a run himself. Zero said.

Shirley replied expressionlessly, "General Hart is commanding a battle and can't find time to make this deal, so he gave me carte blanche to do it." Where's Master Rhine?"

Zero turned sideways to let Shirley see Rhine on the off-road vehicle, and then said, "What do I want?"

Shirley gestured to her hand, and three trucks full of supplies drove towards Zero. After the car stopped, Kaede and a few soldiers who accompanied him checked their things and nodded to Zero after confirming that they were correct.

Zero Xiang Rhein, who was on the off-road vehicle, said, "Young Master of the Augustus family, you can go back." ”

He said to Xue Li again: "In addition to your family's little master, I also gave them an additional gift. ”

"They?" said Shirley, slightening slightly.

Zero nodded to Kaede, and the truck carrying the council's abilities drove over. As the truck passed, Shirley glanced into the compartment and said, "You're more generous than I thought." ”

"Well, so be it. Zero walked back, suddenly stopped, turned to Shirley, and said, "Say hello to General Hart for me." ”

"I will. ”

The transaction was successfully completed, and Zero let people leave first in the supply truck, behind the ten Ogma giants. He himself watched Rhine get into the car, and after the Augustus family's convoy left, Zero said, "It's a pity that Hart seems to be much more cautious than Rhine." ”

"If he were easy to deal with, Thor wouldn't have to spend so much time here. Kaede leaned back in his seat and said.

Zero nodded: "I have a hunch that Brown's actions may not be successful." ”

This time, it was Kaede's turn to be taken aback: "No, the big guys they took away a lot of troops." ”

"If Hart is as difficult to deal with as you say, then he will definitely surprise us. Zero said calmly.

At the same time, it is located on the north side of the trading place, more than two hundred kilometers away in the mountains. On a steep ramp, two soldiers, dressed in mountain-colored camouflage uniforms, leaned against a three-meter-high boulder, the shadow of which completely enveloped them, shielding them from the direct sunlight. The soldier smoked a cigarette, and one of them threw the cigarette butt on the ground and trampled it out with his shoe.

"I don't know how long I'm going to stay in this boring place. He complained.

Indeed, this is the great rear of the front-line theater of operations. After the city of Niru was converted into a forward base, some soldiers were transferred to the mountains to set up several hidden outposts. For most of the year, the outposts in the mountains have been completely useless, which makes Hart, who has invested two battalions of troops in the mountain outposts, questioned by the generals below.

Hart suppressed all the opposition with the words, "I'm not used to exposing my back to some hostile gaze, even if this is only a 1 in 1,000 chance." His cautious manner had been well known during the years-long war, and no one continued to oppose his approach, although some thought it was too cautious.

Hearing the complaints of his colleagues, another soldier smiled and said, "You are content, it is better to stay in this boring place than to go to the battlefield, or do you prefer to be cannon fodder?"

In this era dominated by the capable, ordinary soldiers can only serve as cannon fodder. Therefore, the soldier before could not refute his companion's words. The two were chatting when suddenly the air in front of them twisted strangely, and before the two soldiers could react, a faint mark passed between their necks. Then the two of them were stunned at the same time, and then their heads fell off. The headless corpse was charred black in cross-section, and the sparks inside shimmered, as if it had been burned by a hot flame.

After the two soldiers died silently, a figure gradually appeared in the air, a humanoid biological weapon, it had a biological armor that covered the whole body, and the armor naturally formed an unusually ornate pattern. In the hand of the biological weapon was a one-handed sword with a crimson halo, and it was this long sword that struck the heads of two soldiers.

This is the mid-level biological weapon Demon Pattern Samurai researched by Dawning City, and it has finally been successfully mass-produced after Eva's continuous adjustment. It's just that with the current resources of Dawning City, the demonic warriors who set off with the army this time are only equipped with about twenty. However, the Demon Warriors can act as the command node of the biological legions, and they themselves have the power of the seventh order, so although they are few in number, their practical value is not much less than that of the Ogmar giants.

The eyes of the demonic warrior under the mask flickered, and an invisible wave swept away. Moments later, bladed hunters emerged from their hiding spots. This time it was a mountain battle, and the Giant Shield Guards were slow to move, making it unsuitable for this terrain, so Brown only mobilized the Demon Warriors and Blade Hunters.

Each Demonic Samurai is responsible for commanding twenty Blade Hunters, and under the control of this biological weapon that can act as a front-line commander, the effectiveness of Blade Hunters has increased by about 30%. There were five such teams, and these biological weapons flowed through the mountains like an undercurrent, quickly clearing the sentinel and approaching the camp.

There is a gentle terrain in the middle of the mountain, which was set up as a camp by the parliamentary army. In the camp, there were even platoon barracks with concrete. During the day, the temperature in the mountains was very high, and except for the soldiers who were sent out to the sentinel on duty, they were more resting and recreational in the barracks. At the entrance of the camp, there were only four soldiers on duty, and suddenly the space was faintly distorted, and the heads of the four soldiers flew up at the same time.

Two demonic warriors appeared in the air, and their biological armor also had the effect of refracting light and achieving invisibility. After slaying the sentry, the Demon Pattern Warrior pointed at his sword, and the Blade Hunters poured into the barracks, and then the screams and gunshots of the soldiers rang out inside, but all the while, there was not a single sound from the Demon Pattern Warrior or the Bladed Prey.

The sneak attack of the creature weapon finally caused a reaction from the camp, and a Colonel of the Blood Rider strode out, a tomahawk dragging the corpse of a sharp-bladed hunter in his hand. His eyes were filled with rage, and he shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Several rows of soldiers poured out of the barracks, one demonic warrior slashing at the soldiers, and another lunging at the Colonel Bloodrider. The colonel was not afraid, and kicked away the corpse hanging from the axe, and a blood-red aura surged around him, and he smashed it at the demonic warrior with an axe. In the blink of an eye, the two have become a battle.

After the initial sneak attack, the Blade Hunters gradually lost to the counterattack of the council army, especially with several Bloodrider captains in the army. These fifth-order powerhouses cooperate with the soldiers' attacks to send the blade hunters to hell one by one.

But when the dull roar of the revolver gun sounded, both the Colonel and the Captain of the Blood Cavalry changed their faces greatly. Powerful bullets blasted through the barracks walls, knocking down the load-bearing pillars and causing the barracks to collapse with a bang.

At this point, the dexterity of the Blade Hunters came into play, and they deftly emerged through the windows and escaped before the barracks collapsed. The barracks collapsed, crushing and crushing a large number of people. When the Bloody Cavalry Lieutenant emerged from the ruins of the barracks, he saw a rugged man biting a cigar and carrying a six-barreled cannon that should have been mounted on a chariot or mech.

Brown laughed, and the fiery line of cannon fire swept around the camp, bringing down two or three platoons of barracks. Behind him, the soldiers of Dawning City poured in. They were well trained, in groups of five, using machine guns to cover each other. Use the tactics you've planned to cut apart the council forces and shoot them around after the creatures and Brown have caused enough chaos.

Gunfire continued in the valley, accompanied by the explosion of high-explosive grenades and the unfortunate whistling of bazookas, and waves of flames raged through the camp. Brown was in the middle of his fight when he suddenly saw the demonic warrior entangled with the Blood Rider Colonel fly up, and then exploded into a cloud of blood mist in midair. Brown is on the same footing, and the strength of the Demon Warrior and the Colonel of the Blood Rider is equal, so there is no reason why he can be put down so easily.

When he looked closer, a dark shadow appeared behind Colonel Bloodrider. The shadow suddenly disappeared, and Brown felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and he cursed and rolled to the ground with the cannon man in his arms. In an instant, his back cooled, and a row of blood stains sprinkled on the hot rocky ground, and then the tip of one foot in front of him continued to expand. Brown had to hold his head in his hands and take the kick from the other party.

The sound of a toe kick hit him, and Brown almost thought his bones were going to break. The whole person flew up and fell seven or eight meters away. When I looked up, I saw a man holding a single knife sticking out his tongue and licking the blood on the knife. The man wears the same uniform robe as the Bloodrider, but in black.

Abyss Black Ride!
