"zero."
Walking out of the Tulip Building, Zero heard someone shouting behind him. Turning around, Douglas was waving at him. Ling Chaosu and Feng winked and asked them to leave first, while he walked back.
"Walk with me casually?" Douglas said.
Zero smiled and nodded.
Back then, Blu-ray Mountain under the auspices of the Parkland chaebol was like a self-sufficient city. Afterwards, the power of the Dark Council expanded, and all the main figures of the chaebol were killed, and the Blu-ray Mountains naturally fell into the hands of the Council. Then it was taken over by the Augustus family, and the city changed hands several times. After taking over Blu-ray Mountain, Leo didn't make too many changes to the city, but only added necessary fortifications.
Today, these fortifications are used to resist the Proseus Legion, which was unexpected by Leo. After all, according to his previous plan, in order to prevent the Hall of Valor from going north, the council can rely on the Languang Mountain collar to form a line of defense.
The factories in the city are still in operation, the supply of the army and even the maintenance of equipment such as tanks, the huge logistics work now relies on the city. The Blue Light Mountain was operating at full capacity, supplying the huge needs of the army day and night.
"Old boy Leo, he has managed this city well." Walking on the streets of Blue Light Mountain, Douglas looked at the buildings or factories on both sides with great interest, and made comments from time to time.
The scale of Blu-ray Mountain is not comparable to that of Asgard, and most of the buildings are factories. It can be said to be an industrialized city. Looking around, there are tall chimneys everywhere. These huge metal pipes continuously emit off-white hot air, making the whole city full of vitality.
"Don't take that little thing to heart just now, that guy named Vikie must be out of his mind." Douglas patted his forehead and said.
Zero shrugged: "It's nothing, but I'm sure, he was ordered by someone."
"Rambo?"
"It could also be Leo."
"It won't be Leo." Douglas squinted and smiled: "When the idiot Vigie looked at Rambo, I was surprised to see Leo's expression."
"No matter who instigated it, it may not be of any benefit to be so scheming at this time. And I can't think of it, what benefit will it do to Rambo and the others?" Ling shook his head.
Douglas laughed: "Zero, you are undoubtedly fierce in the younger generation. Don't look at Oglok and I are now known as top powerhouses, but we are at your age, even half your strength None."
He patted Ling on the shoulder again: "However, you are still young, and your strength has reached level 12, but there are some things that need time to settle. For example, here."
Douglas pointed to his chest, spread his hands and said, "What are you referring to?"
"Scheming." Douglas shook his head and smiled: "Those old guys have been dealing with conspiracies and tricks all their lives. In terms of scheming, you can't compare with them. Take the matter of Viggy as an example. You said they didn't Benefits? It is true that this will not produce the expected benefits for them. But in the long run, it is a good move. Let me ask you, you should know that in the next move to mobilize the entire army, The video you provided will be played repeatedly in the barracks, right?"
"I know." Zero smiled helplessly: "I also know your so-called idol theory."
"That's right, everyone's morale is low now. You go deep into the enemy's camp at this time and kill the important production units of the enemy under the heavy guard. In the words of you young people, this is very cool. It is indeed cool, you know, This incident can help soldiers rebuild their confidence. You will become their idol, because you have shown these soldiers with practical actions that Proseus's legion is not invincible." Douglas smiled: "Believe me, everyone needs A faith. Faith can make the weak fearless."
"I'm old, zero. It's time to find a successor. Who else is more suitable than you? You will be the idol of the soldiers. You are their belief. As long as you don't fall, they dare to charge forward." Douglas Speaking of this, he paused and said: "But here comes the problem, your influence in the army will surpass everyone, including me or Leo. Whether it is the army of the Hall of Valor or the parliament, those soldiers will be deeply loved by you. Impact, this is what Lambo and the others don't want to see."
"You mean..." Zero shook his head and laughed, "What they did at the meeting was to weaken my influence?"
"This is one of them." Douglas stretched out two fingers: "The second point, if possible, will plant seeds of discord between you and me, thereby disintegrating our relationship. That's why I said, these old people Guys, they are thinking about the long-term plan. It's a pity that they didn't use it at the right time. At this juncture, both I and Leo are very clear about what you mean to our next actions."
"So, we won't let this happen. Rambo, this guy really went too far this time." Douglas squinted his eyes and smiled, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, I have to tell you. I want to leave for a while." Zero said.
Douglas said unexpectedly: "Now? Why?"
Zero sighed softly: "Number. We are still at a disadvantage in terms of the number of troops. I think you know this, so Valkyrie is allowed to conduct large-scale conscription. However, soldiers need to be trained and equipment needs to be rationed. It takes time. What we lack, Tian Tian, is time."
Douglas thought for a while, pointed at Zero and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, you kid still hides a large army."
"I still have an army, but more importantly, I think I can bring us an allied army."
"Where are the allies?"
"The higher alien race of the black land." Zero said.
Douglas laughed, and lightly tapped Zero with his fist: "You have it, boy. Go ahead, no matter how small the power is, you must fight for it now, let alone those high-level aliens from the black land. It's just that they are at odds with the council .”
"I know, but now, it's up to them to choose. With us, everyone still has hope to live. Otherwise, we will fall, and it will be their turn soon. They are not stupid, and they will understand the stakes." Zero nodded. : "I have the confidence to convince them."
"That's fine, when will we leave?"
Zero smiled and said, "Now, if you have nothing else to do."
"No, I have to help with the mobilization work." Douglas blinked and said, "You know, although I'm not as cool as you, this old face is still useful."
The two separated on the spot, and 10 minutes later, Ling drove out of the Blu-ray Mountains on a heavily loaded locomotive.
While the north of the coastline of the mainland was full of turmoil due to the invasion of Proseus's legion, the black land was a peaceful scene. After the invasion of Albert and hundreds of demon soldiers last time, the Holy Temple announced the delisting of Yin, one of the elders, which caused a sensation among various clans. As time went on, the matter slowly faded. The Yinshuang clan has separated from the former patriarch, and the newly appointed patriarch Du Ling succeeds Yin as the elder of the temple. At the same time, he organizes a hunting team to hunt down Yin who has betrayed all other races.
Silver seems to have escaped from the black land. Under the joint pressure of the hunting group and the Amandas, the black land has no place for him. The hunt has been fruitless so far, and Yin is nowhere to be found.
The various clans resumed their previous rhythm of life, but in view of all the events that happened before, the holy temple allowed many weak clans to migrate to the hinterland of the black earth and live around the holy city of Ukhara. Now the hilly area where Ukhara is located is bustling. Dozens of clans, large and small, settled in the surrounding areas and built villages one after another. The village is also hidden within a wall several meters high. If in wartime, with Hakala as the center, the villages support each other, forming a defensive network with many fulcrums.
The move of the holy temple can be said to fully display the four characters of "watching and helping each other".
Now in Twilight Forest, there are only one or two clans who are unwilling to migrate, and the Asaks who are willing to become sentinels.
It was almost dusk, and a group of Asak forest patrol teams were walking leisurely in the forest. The forest patrol team consists of one cavalryman and four infantry fighters. The five-member team is responsible for patrolling the area within about one kilometer square. Goge, the leader of the Asaks, divided the Twilight Forest into thousands of regions, and each region assigned a patrol team.
Because the scope of the Twilight Forest is extremely wide, it is obviously impossible for the Asaks alone to monitor the entire forest. Therefore, after the resolution of the Holy Temple, some fighters from the Amanda, Kaz and Wen clans were transferred to Gaoge for use. Guarded by warriors from four powerful clans, Twilight Forest is the first line of defense if something similar happens.
At this moment, the patrolling team was preparing to return to the sentry point. Suddenly, the cavalry's warg seemed to smell something. The warg arched its big nose on the ground, then turned around and growled twice at the knight above. Having been with mounts for many years, every mount understands the meaning of warg more or less. The knight immediately said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is bloody smell around here."
The four infantry fighters immediately took out their spears and swords, and cautiously looked at the forest in front of them. The knight patted the wolf and said, "Find out the source of the stench, Sen."
The warg responded in a low voice, sniffing under the trees and among the bushes with his nose now and then. Finally, the team was brought to an ancient tree surrounded by several people, and behind the tree lay the corpse of a foreign race. It can be judged that it was a man, holding a sharp one-handed sword in his hand, with an expression of anger mixed with fear. What made everyone in the team look dignified was that the chest cavity of the corpse was hollowed out, and everything inside was gone.
Bones, flesh, viscera, intestines... everything is gone. There are many dangerous mutants in Twilight Forest, but as far as the Asaks know, none of them will just empty the belly of the dead. Even the most powerful beasts will not be so "picky eaters".
In other words, there are outsiders in the forest!
