The parliamentary hall has a circular structure, and all the seats are distributed in a circle with the center as the origin. These are the audience seats. The row of seats in the center is distributed in a fan shape. These are the seats of the congressmen, a total of 24 seats. These seats face a platform due east, which is the seat of the Speaker of the Council. There is another table and chair next to the speaker, which is often used by the secretary to record the agenda of the meeting, but today, it belongs to Rein.
Audience members and congressmen came in one after another in the hall. After Lein followed his father Leo into the hall, the two father and son separated in the congressman's area. Leo sat in his own seat, while Lein walked to the chair near the speaker and sat down. When all the councilors and the audience had arrived, all the lights in the conference hall were turned off, and in the darkness, a lamppost hit straight on the speaker's platform, and a man suddenly stood in the empty place, the speaker of the dark council Oglock.
No one knew how he appeared. Even though there were so many powerful people in the conference hall, none of them, including Leo, could notice the speaker's appearance. But it seemed like a normal thing for them, and no one was surprised or anything. Oglock stood straight behind the speaker's platform with a calm expression. He looked at the congressmen and all the audience below with a smile, and said in his slightly hoarse voice: "Everyone, there haven't been so many people in this conference hall for a long time. Let's We glorify the enemy, whoever they are. If it weren't for them, there would probably be congressmen who would want to impeach me for wasting a lot of resources to build something that is left to dust and does nothing."
There was a chuckle from below, and after adjusting the atmosphere a little, Oglock clapped his palms lightly and said, "Okay, don't talk about gossip. Let's go straight to the topic. I think members of the council already know that one is under our protection. The wilderness city was suddenly destroyed a few days ago. Regarding this matter, we have sent an investigation team to investigate and collect evidence, now let us hear what the investigation team has investigated."
As soon as the voice fell, a beam of light fell on Rein's body. Immediately, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the venue all fell on the Ninth Knight. Rein still looked lazy, he stood up, first bowed to Oglock to show his respect, and then said to the members below: "Dear speaker and members, regarding this shadow We have come to a preliminary conclusion about the destruction of the capital. I am afraid that you have heard some news, so here, on behalf of my colleagues in the investigation team, I would like to present the results of our investigation to you. Everyone, please watch the big screen... "
Located in the meeting hall, four light screens are lowered above the speaker's platform, so that everyone in the hall can see clearly from any angle. Everyone, including Speaker Oglock, looked at the light screen. After the light screen flashed twice, some pictures appeared on it. In these pictures, there are ruins captured casually, and the location is naturally the city of shadows. It can be seen that the entire Shadow City has been turned into ruins. There are corpses lying or sitting on the streets, in corners, and in car wrecks. It is like a picture of the end of the world.
"The city has been turned into ruins. Men, women, old people and children have all been killed. None of them survived, including one of our troops stationed in the city, as well as a colonel and a lieutenant..." Lay Yin narrated in a calm tone: "In the ruins of the city, we also found the corpses of the invaders. These enemies are all uniformly dressed, and it can be seen that they belong to a certain organization, so this stamp should be familiar to everyone... .”
All the pictures on the light screen are flipped, and they are like a puzzle again. The original pictures showing the ruins of the city are continuously combined into a pattern, which is the coat of arms of countless soldiers holding their spears high.
Hall of Valor!
Even though the people below had already heard the news, when they saw the coat of arms with their own eyes, there was still a gasp in the audience. For a while, whispers started in the auditorium, until Oglock patted the table lightly and said "quiet", and these voices disappeared.
Rein continued: "Yes, as you can see. This coat of arms was found on the bodies of these invaders without exception. This is an enemy we are all too familiar with, the Hall of Valor! But gentlemen, please pay attention , these intruders are not ordinary soldiers. The biochemical expert Dr. Mader who accompanied the group conducted autopsies on the corpses of these intruders and found that they were similar to living corpses, but micro smart chips were found in their brains. We There is reason to suspect that these things are biological weapons!"
There was another burst of excitement in the audience, but Laing continued to drop a blockbuster. The screen on the light screen turned, and a streamlined weapon full of sci-fi style appeared. It has a silver-gray appearance, and looks so cold and inorganic. Rein said: "What you are seeing now is a conceptual weapon, the bioactive cannon, which we are still researching. As we all know, the reason why capable people are powerful is that their genes have undergone evolutionary mutations, which greatly enhances the original bioenergy. After these energies are combined and used, they can use powerful abilities to fight. The biodynamic cannon was developed based on this principle, and it is a strategic weapon that can be carried by ordinary soldiers. Through the neural wires and intelligence of the dynamic cannon Controlled by the chip, the active cannon itself can extract the user's creatures to perform cluster attacks. Its power is no less than heavy artillery bombardment, but it is more convenient to carry and more flexible than heavy artillery. If it can be mass-produced and put into use on the battlefield , even ordinary soldiers can play a role in turning the tide of battle... "
"However, in the ruins of the Shadow City, our experts discovered that the enemy's biological weapons had traces of using active cannons in this battle. I think everyone should be very clear about what this means. Yes, whether it is Biochemistry or weapons, in these two fields, the enemy has clearly surpassed our previous cognition." Lain finally said: "This is the general information obtained by our investigation team. As for the detailed information, the intelligence brains you carry with you should I have received an email, so I won’t go into details.”
Looking at Oglock again, Rein nodded and said, "That's my report."
"Very well, thank you for your speech and the efforts of the investigation team." Oglock looked at the congressman again and said: "The results of the investigation are already obvious. Our enemy is the Hall of Valor. They have unilaterally torn up the The "Peace Treaty" signed by the two sides for a long time violated the second item of the treaty that "no force shall be used to destroy or invade cities and bases under the jurisdiction or protection of both parties". Everyone, our Dark Council is not a charitable organization. Since the Hall of Valor wants to start a war, then we will give him a war. So I propose that after today's meeting, we officially declare war on the Hall of Valor! "
"Next, we will enter the voting process. Before that, you have 15 minutes for consideration."
After Oglock finished speaking, the agenda was temporarily suspended. The lights in the venue were turned on one by one, and both the auditorium and the council area were busy. Especially in the parliamentary area, the think tanks of various families shuttled around the councilors, and they submitted relevant data and temporary strategic suggestions to the councilors, so as to serve as a reference for the next vote.
On the other hand, the Augustus family didn't make any moves. Only Lein left the table and walked to his father Leo's side.
Rein said, "Father, what do you think?"
Leo smiled: "The chairman's meaning is already obvious. War is inevitable, but this is also the wish of most people. After all, our parliament has been dormant for nearly 20 years and has not made any major moves. Resources, territory, everything Things have reached a limit, and it's time to expand. It's just that the Hall of Valor gave us an excuse, but this excuse seems to have come a bit in time."
"You mean..." Rein's eyes flickered.
"Something, let it rot in your stomach." Leo interrupted his son, saying: "No matter what the reason is, war is already the general trend. It is foreseeable that this will be the first time to rekindle the flames of war on the entire continent." No one was spared from the Second World War, and our Augustus family is no exception. What we need to consider now is how to maximize the benefits in this war, and other issues will not be a problem!"
"Do you need me to go back and help? If it is necessary, I can submit my resignation to the Blood Cavalry headquarters." Rein seemed to have made up his mind, but his tone was still flat.
Leo's eyes lit up, he laughed, patted his son's shoulder heavily and said, "This is my Rein, but I don't need it for now. Son, our opponent is not easy. The five legions of the Hall of Valor, The Doom Hammer and the Golden Battle Ax combined are enough to match your Scarlet Knights. The Dark Blade is a good assassin, and the Guardian Shield combined with the Victory Spear is a mobile force that can attack and defend. And these are just It is their strength on the surface. In our intelligence network, Asgardli also secretly trains another unit, the Templars. Let’s call them the Templars. The selection qualifications of the Templars are extremely strict. Only ability users below the eighth level can join, and this temple alone can challenge our Eternal Night Knights... "
"But we still have the Knights of the Abyss, don't we? Although it was established in the past two years, and there is no information, but judging from the words, this should be a secret army of the speaker."
"Abyss." Leo said solemnly, "Speaking of the abyss, do you think that it and that incident are too coincidental. The coincidence is so coincidental that people can't help but connect them secretly."
"That matter?" Rein's eyes became serious: "You mean the disordered blood sample brought back by the low-priced blood knight from the Parkland chaebol two years ago? The first time it appeared in the top-secret file option, it was indeed three months after the blood sample was obtained. And so far, more than a thousand volunteers have been selected from blood knights and other families to join the abyss. But after entering the Academy of Science and Technology , these people have never appeared again, could it be that..."
"It should be like that. They seem to have fallen into the abyss. I am afraid that those who can climb out again should be like demons?" Leo sneered and said: "Our council has the name of darkness, which makes people It's quite normal to not be able to figure out the strength. But it makes people feel quite unpleasant to use us people as a cover... "
