Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the venue returned to darkness. But then, in the areas of the parliamentarian area and the speaker's platform, the light source on the zenith lit up, illuminating this area. Oglock coughed dryly, and said: "Okay, the time is up. Members must have already figured it out, so the next voting session. Regarding the declaration of war on the Hall of Valor, please make a careful choice. In name, pass this issue."
He slapped the table, and a number "2" immediately popped up on the four-sided light screen above the speaker.
Members of Parliament have a total of 24 votes, and the speaker has two. There are 26 votes in total, and when an issue gets two-thirds of the votes, it is considered passed. There are three buttons on the speaker's table and the member's table, which are red, green and gray. Red means no, green means yes, and gray means abstention.
After Speaker Oglok made his choice, other members of parliament also slapped the buttons on the table. For a while, the green light kept flashing, while the numbers on the light screen kept beating. For this major event, no member of parliament will object at all. Because the speaker proposed to declare war on the Hall of Valor, and he was the first to vote, which represented the speaker's will. MPs aren't stupid enough to vote against it, which is tantamount to opposing Oglok. Therefore, although two of them really did not want to fight this war, they only abstained from voting, but did not dare to vote against it.
But when he got to Leo's place, the ruler of the Augustus family pressed the objection button sharply, and a bright red "1" appeared on the light screen.
All are silent.
So the vote is over, and the declaration of war has passed by a large 24 to 1. But Oglock still looked at Leo and asked, "Old friend, may I ask you why you voted against?"
Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience immediately fell on Leo, and even Rein, who had always been sloppy, began to worry about his father's sudden move. Leo didn't see any panic at all, he stood up, faced the old man standing at the pinnacle of power on the speaker's platform, and laughed loudly: "Old friend, what I object to is not this issue, but that such a meeting is unnecessary at all. .If it was your previous temper, the fight would have passed by now, why would there be any meetings here!"
Oglok's expression changed from the original solemnity to a smile on the corner of his mouth. Leo's words did bring back his memories.
What an age of wars!
"This war is not only to be fought, but also to be fought beautifully. My Augustus family is willing to fight an outpost for the parliament, because I can't wait to meet my old friend from before." Leo smiled, In the depths of the pupils, there was a blazing look.
His words awakened the memories of some old people present, while the young people did not know what to refer to. In the auditorium, a gray-haired old man faced the younger generation's inquiries and sighed: "The man from the Augustus family was a fierce general known as the golden lion in that war era. And his old enemy , is the Iron Tiger Cario in the Hall of Valor. There was a battle between them, and that battle is now a model for you to learn from. If I remember correctly, you call it the Hundred Days War, right?"
The young people who heard this sentence were all shocked, and then they looked at the figure standing tall in the councilor's district with indescribable feelings. The Hundred Days War is one of the countless battles recorded between the Dark Council and the Hall of Valor that day. In this war, Leo and his family guards were ordered to garrison a city, but they were attacked by the Hall of Valor. After being cut off by the Hall of Valor and all resources and supplies, Leo persisted for three months. During the period, the offense and defense were moderate, and the army of the Hall of Valor was dragged there, unable to advance an inch, allowing the parliament to gain valuable buffer time.
Finally, the parliamentary reinforcements arrived, and the Hall of Valor returned without success. As for the Augustus family, naturally suffered heavy losses. When the reinforcements arrived, only ten people survived, including Leo. Since the First World War, Leo's bravery and tenacity have also earned him the reputation of the Golden Lion. It's just that after the war ended, Leo devoted himself to the management of the family and gradually faded out of the circle of the parliament. So the younger generation hardly knew that he was the Golden Lion back then. After all, Leo's name was not mentioned in the tactical template.
When the Dark Council began to mobilize for this war, Asgard, far away in the Julian Mountains, also received information about the action of the Dark Council after 20 hours.
On the top floor of the Twelve Lord Hall in Asgard, in Douglas's office, Kario was smoking a cigar. After a while, he slammed the cigar into the ashtray, clapped his hands and said angrily, "Ridiculous! When did we ever send troops to attack that city called Shadow City? Olo's own game."
Ben Douglas touched his rosy nose and said with a smile, "There's no need to get angry, my old friend. We all know Ogg's methods very well. What he did was just to find an excuse for himself to send troops."
Cario nodded, then frowned and said, "But since when did that old thing become constrained? If he used to call directly, why would he need to play so many tricks?"
"Because it's different. The current parliamentary structure is much larger than before. Just like our Asgard, soldiers alone cannot support a city. The same is true for the Evernight City of the parliament. He has to consider the feelings of other people. Of course, if he gives an order, the Dark Council will still operate, but at that time, it is unknown how many people are willing to fight this war.” Ben said with a smile : "On the contrary, if you attribute your wishes under the banner of righteousness like now, and add some sweetness, those old guys who are unwilling to be lonely will naturally be happy to do so."
"That guy, the understanding of people's hearts is still so thorough."
Cario snorted and said, "In that case, do we have to call back the Tyre brothers? Damn, they have lost all contact since they crossed the Shadow Canyon, and they don't know what is going on now."
"There is no need to recall those two boys. We didn't rely on these brats to make everything happen now, didn't we? Besides, no matter how impatient Ogg is, it will take a while to call over. From the training of soldiers to the deployment of resources and supplies, these The work cannot be completed in a day or two." Ben Youyou stood up and turned to look at the city below: "Before then, it is time for us to take back the rights belonging to the military department from those merchants and nobles."
He hey hey smile.
According to the laws revised by Asgard at the beginning, one of the laws was clearly stated. When a war breaks out, all classes other than the military must obey unconditionally and provide the resources needed for the war. This law seems very unreasonable, but no one objected. After all, this is not the old era. In the turbulent era, force is the most respected, which is the consensus of this era.
After the Dark Council decided to declare war on the Hall of Valor, cities and bases along the entire coastline boiled up. Taking Death Ridge as an example, all cities were incorporated into the strategic territory of the Dark Parliament. The bloody cavalry of the army is everywhere, bringing Oglok's will to every corner of the coastline, and the Dark Council takes advantage of this situation to expand from the unprecedented.
The expansion will be divided into three stages, and now is the first stage. If all the city bases included in the strategic map refuse to agree unconditionally, then the blood cavalry and the parliamentary army will turn the land into ruins. As a result, a large part of the territory north of Death God Ridge was encroached upon by the council, and within a few days, the darkness of the council shrouded this area.
This stage will be completed in a few days. After the first stage of expansion is completed, the council will have the resources of most of the coastline. These resources will be put into the huge war machine, thus accumulating the energy of the second stage of expansion. The second stage of expansion will advance westward, establishing supply and transfer stations along the way, until reaching the Julian Mountains and knocking on the gate of Asgard.
The day when Asgard was captured was when this stage was completed.
As for the last stage, after absorbing the power of Asgard, it will spread darkness to every corner of the Central Continent. Regardless of human beings or alien races, they will all surrender at the feet of the Dark Council and Oglok!
"Hurry up, Brother Master, the car is ready." A young man in his twenties shouted anxiously with a rifle in his hand.
They are Master's guards. After the Dark Council declared war on the Hall of Valor and began to annex and clean up some cities that refused to cooperate, Master decided to leave Parkland's lair. At that time, after zero and several powerful ability users captured this place, they were handed over to Master to take care of it. Under Master's management, Parkland's wealth began to flow into his and Zero's pockets.
At first he could still get in touch with Zero, but after a short while, this kind of contact was quietly broken. And now, the expansion of the parliament has begun, and Master is very clear. At this time, the council would not allow people like him to exist, so he immediately decided to leave Parkland as soon as he received the news.
Master sat in one of the cars under the protection of the guards, and then two off-road vehicles escorted the modified car he was in and began to drive along the street towards the gate. When he was still some distance away from the gate, the guards on an off-road vehicle in front spotted him.
A man in a dark red robe. Lighting a cigarette, he leisurely watched three cars approaching. The guard on the off-road vehicle shouted: "Get out of the way if you don't want to die."
Obviously, the other party has no intention of backing down.
"Damn it!" The young guard cursed, got behind the anti-aircraft machine gun behind, and fired at the man in front without saying a word.
In the carriage, the moment he heard the gunshot, Master suddenly felt uneasy. Then the screams that rang out amidst the gunshots confirmed his thoughts. He yelled: "Be careful, meet the enemy!" Then he opened the door and rolled out of the moving car. The moment he left the car, there was a sharp howling sound that hurt the ears, and then a blast of wind cut across the middle of the car like a knife, and the modified car was split into two in front of Master's eyes!
