"Simply ridiculous!"
A fist fell on the table, and the poor table jumped up. The smooth surface of the table reflected the appearance of a short-haired officer. He said angrily: "General, you want to take over our Phoenix City with just one email. Although Augustus is one of the wealthy families of the Dark Council, this kind of behavior is too arrogant, right?"
In the office, an old man turned his back to the middle-aged officer. He has silver hair all over his head, his eyes that were sharp in the past have become a little tired, and even his usual upright figure is a little more stooped. The founder of Phoenix City, General Morgan, sighed and said: "The Augustus family was one of the builders of the Dark Council back then, and their family force 'Fallen Angels' is not much worse than the Scarlet Knights on the surface of the Council. In the Council Among the powerful families, Augustus has always been regarded as the most powerful force. To be able to possess such armaments is naturally supported by Speaker Oglock, who has cultivated this family into a powerful force under the water of the parliament. Now they also represent the meaning of the parliament , so, they do have the qualifications to be arrogant.”
The middle-aged officer stood up. He was George who had some friendship with Zero that day: "But general, this city has been worked hard by you and everyone for many years. Could it be that we just don't do anything and just give it to the Augustus family? ?"
"Then what else do you think I can do, George?" General Morgan shook his head and smiled wryly: "This time the Dark Council and the Hall of Valor suddenly declared war. Although Ogulok claimed that the Hall of Valor attacked their city first. But anyone with a discerning eye can see It can be seen that this is just the rhetoric of the great speaker. After all, the dark council has been dormant for long enough, and Oglok can no longer bear the loneliness. They want to expand as much as possible. Look, the cities north of the coastline are now It has all been included in the territory of his council, do you think they will accommodate us who are only separated by the death mountain?"
"No, Oglok's ambitions are not limited to the northern city. He wants to annex the entire coastline, launch a westward invasion, erase the Hall of Valor from the map, and turn the entire Middle-earth continent into his Oglok's back garden There is no doubt that this is a madman. The point is, he has that strength." General Morgan shook his head and said: "Oglock is playing a big game of chess, and there will only be him and the Hall of Valor on the chessboard. As for the other Yes, the Dark Council is clearing the field, isn't it?"
"I can understand your feelings, George. But I have to think about more people. Although Phoenix has an army and weapons. Let alone the council, we can't even defeat the Augustus family. If you refuse, the consequences will be What I believe you know better than me. Do you want to see the city of Phoenix turn into ruins before the battle between the council and the Hall of Valor really started?" Finally, the general took a deep look at the officer.
George finally lowered his head, eyes full of humiliation: "I see, General."
At this time, the phone rang in the office. George answered for the general. After a while, he looked up and said, "The Augustus family will arrive in half an hour."
"Okay, let's welcome the new owner of this city." General Morgan said with great emotion, his expression fell silent.
A mighty convoy was heading towards Phoenix along the road, and the convoy passed the ruins of Moline City. The mutant beasts hiding in the ruins hid, and even the living corpses that wandered around on weekdays crouched in the shadows or corners of the ruins, not daring to move. This is because the convoy exudes an aura that makes these mutated creatures fear. It is a strong murderous aura that only a large number of regular soldiers gather together. What's more, there are many auras of capable people in this convoy, some of which make these mutated creatures faint when they come into contact with them.
It can be seen that most of the convoys are transport vehicles, which are full of heavily armed soldiers. These fighters are uniformly dressed in black tactical uniforms. This full-body tactical uniform has soft armor on the shoulders, chest and knees for protection. There is a coat of arms of an angel with broken wings on the left breastplate, which is the symbol of the "fallen angels" of the Augustus family force.
In addition to the transport vehicles, there are some armored combat vehicles and artillery tanks at the front and rear of the convoy. There are as many as fifty of them. As for Phoenix City, which was located in the direction of the convoy, they couldn't come up with ten. What's more, apart from these chariots, there are also several long trailers pulling strips of bright red containers, inside which are neatly arranged power armors. They are the real battlefield firepower of the Augustus family. As for the armored vehicles And the tank has become a decoration instead.
There are several silver medical vehicles behind the truck. Each compartment of these vehicles is an operating room, and the tools inside can perform the most complicated operations. Of course, they are not for soldiers, and only the important people are eligible to use these medical vehicles. As for the medical vehicle, there is also a team of special vehicles. These vehicles have different functions, but they can basically be regarded as mobile laboratories. That was the Augustus family's own research team, and the research field was mainly on abnormal organisms. Because of this war, the Augustus family will use Phoenix as their base to advance westward, passing through a lot of wilderness and ruins, and even crossing a desert. For researchers, this is undoubtedly the best specimen collection. opportunity, so they also come with the regiment.
The mighty convoy stretched for hundreds of meters, but in front of the convoy was a black old-time car. It's just that the car has been modified so that its performance is no worse than that of an off-road locomotive. This car should have been driving on the highway of a big city, but now it is running in the wilderness, how weird it looks. But as long as you know that the two young masters of Augustus are sitting in the car now, you can probably understand why it appeared here.
In the car, Rein looked at the man who was a few years older than himself. He has a face very similar to Rein, but with a condensed manner between the corners of his brows and a solemn expression, he is much more mature than Rein, and has a bit of the shadow of Rein's father, Leo.
Rein remembered that when he was young, he had long blond hair. But at the age of 15, when he joined the family's armed forces and became a low-ranking soldier, he cut his long hair into the current cut-length cut, and this hairstyle has been maintained for more than 10 years. In the past ten years, every time I saw him, the length of each strand of his hair had almost never changed, and the accuracy was terrifying.
He wears a well-tailored, slim-fit suit, which is hand-finished from cutting to making. With the straight lines and proper decoration, wearing him is a complete portrayal of aristocrats. He was holding an old book "Pride and Prejudice" in his hand. The book was already very dilapidated, and a small corner was missing from the cover. Originally, in this era, what could be simpler than holding a tablet brain to read books? But he still insists on the habit of reading paper books, and this habit itself explains his identity from another aspect. After all, those who are exhausted for their livelihoods don't have much leisure time to read a book like him.
If it wasn't for the sturdy aura unique to soldiers that he would always inadvertently exude in certain actions, then he would look more like a nobleman or a businessman. And he is indeed the successor of Augustus. It took him ten years to step from a low-ranking soldier to his present position, becoming the youngest general in history since the establishment of the Fallen Angel—Hart Augustus!
At the same time, he is also Rein's eldest brother.
"Although we haven't seen each other for several years, I would be embarrassed if you keep staring at me like this, dear brother." After closing the book, Hart looked at his brother and smiled.
"I'm just looking to see when you will completely become a father." Rein laughed and said, "Brother, don't you think you have imitated your father too much these years? You drink the same coffee, although coffee I don’t like sugar in the same way. I wear the same style of clothes, and even read the same books. Even your appearance now is almost the same as when your father was young. No wonder people outside call you the young golden lion.”
Hart smiled unchanged, and said: "Is there anything wrong with that? My father will always be my goal and idol in my heart. My wish since I was a child is to become a man like him."
"Of course that's good." Rein nodded and said, "In this way, with you supporting the whole family, I can be lazy."
"You are still the same as before." Hart shook his head helplessly, and said sternly: "But it is a surprise that the blood knight asked you to return to the family to help. Otherwise, our two brothers would not be able to sit together now."
"Do you think the blood cavalry is so generous? It's just that our family is now serving as the vanguard of the council, and they are just doing favors." Rein said nonchalantly.
"No matter what, we two brothers can fight side by side this time. Very good, really good."
"No, brother, I'm here on vacation. The task you arrange for me should be easier."
"You think beautifully..."
After making a few jokes, Rein frowned and said: "Last time in the parliament, I don't know why my father, who has always been low-key, took the job of striker. This is too far from his usual style, not to mention the battle on the front line. It’s not easy, and I don’t know how many people will never return home after this war.”
Hart smiled lightly: "Line, your strength is unquestionable. But as your father said, you can become a brave general, but you are not a qualified politician. Father is not low-key, but There has never been a chance. This time, it is imperative for the council to launch a war against the Hall of Valor. My father just seized the opportunity to perform for a while. Of course, the job of a striker will not be easy, but as a result, he has also received a lot of resource support from the council ...And more importantly, this is an opportunity to brighten the family's strength, how could my father let it go easily, he has always been very accurate."
"Take the Phoenix City we will arrive at as an example. Although we use Phoenix City as the frontline stronghold in the name of the Parliament. But after this war, whose name do you think Phoenix City will write down? It will not be the Dark Council , it will not be Oglok, it will only be us Augustus." Looking out the window, Hart has already faintly seen the outline of the city in the distance: "War brings destruction, but at the same time, war also brings opportunities. Unlimited opportunities, My dear brother!"
