The blue mountain collar was originally the property of the Parkland chaebol. When the council decided to fight the war, the Parkland chaebol was expelled. As for the final outcome of this marginal nobleman, no one will pay attention to it. On the dark council. In front of the giant beast, a chaebol with some influence on the edge of the coastline, but not even a dog of the mourning family, was completely crushed like an ant.

As for the ants are still alive, or have become the nourishment of the giant beast, who cares?

After that, the territory of the Parkland chaebol was naturally taken over by the Augustus family. The parliament expanded to the outside world. As the top wealthy supporting the parliament, the Augustus family only got the part of the benefits that they deserved. While reaping benefits, The wealthy also have their own responsibilities. For example, if the frontline war fails and the enemy goes north, then the Augustus family must meet the enemy and resist, and sending the eldest son of the family to act as the frontline commander is just a small part of the obligation.

Benefits are always relative.

As the Patriarch of Augustus, Leo knew this very well. But when he received the news of Hart’s disappearance and death, he was still dizzy. Hart has been regarded as the future helm of the family, he In terms of the potential of force, it may not be as good as Rhein, but in other aspects. For example, strategy, management of the family is much worse. Of course, in this chaotic era, as the head of the family, you must also have the force to control the people of the clan. Just work.

With Hart's ability to advance to the tenth rank not long ago, it is enough, even if his potential is only to the tenth rank.

For such a promising young man, the family has invested only a lot in him. Hart also used his own actions and frontline records to return the family. In more than a year, his deeds have been obtained. The recognition of important members of the family. There is no accident. In a few years, Leo will be able to retreat to the second line and put the important responsibility of the family in the hands of this young man.

With the aid of Rhein's force and the two brothers working together, Leo can almost see the more dazzling future of the Augustus family.

But at this moment, news of Hart's disappearance came.

The defensive commander in Nilu City has been executed by Leo in dereliction of duty, but this is far from quelling the anger and the trace of fear caused by the disappearance of his son. Leo knows that he has no spare capacity to train another Hart What's more, among Hart’s brothers and sisters, there is only one Rein that can barely replace. Klein will never be a good owner, and Rein’s feelings are delicate. This may be the quality of a good poet, but it is not a good poet. What the homeowner needs.

It has been more than 24 hours since Hart's disappearance. In this more than a day, every minute and every second has been a torture for Leo. He did not roar, but was quiet like a deep and bottomless abyss. If someone accidentally touches it, it will fall to pieces.

How long Hart has been missing, and how long Leo stayed in his study. Now even servants without the slightest strength in his study can feel the depressive atmosphere like a big storm. This is necessary for the latest news from time to time. Reporting to the butler whom Leo knows? For the butler, it is undoubtedly a hard job, even if the butler has served the Augustus family for thirty years, knowing that Leo will never move half a finger on himself. But every time he steps into the study, The butler almost thought that he had stepped into the lair of the beast.

Every time he had to be careful, he would always sweat profusely and his legs would feel weak after leaving the study.

But this time, his steps are steady and light, and the corners of his mouth even show a smile or two with his chest. Pushing the door open, the study is still extremely depressed, Leo is looking out the window with his hands on his back. , Is enough to suffocate people. The momentum released from him unconsciously is like flowing magma. Although the surface is calm, it is already boiling!

"If you still can't find Hart, you don't need to report it. Just let the wastes who are in charge of searching come to see me with their heads." Leo said without looking back.

The steward took a deep breath and said, "Master, Major General Miss Xiuya of the Blood Rider, and Mr. Zuo Fei from the Law Enforcement Corps, please see me."

"What are they here for?" Leo frowned, especially when the speaker's righteous daughter and the head of the law enforcement team were walking together, no matter how they looked like a strange combination.

"In addition to them, there are Mr. Zero from Dawn City... and Master Hart."

"Hart?" Leo turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes widened and said: "You said Hart was with them, they caught Hart. You just said Zero in Dawn City, that's right, Lian Kang Statin was all lost under the hands of this young powerful man, and it was easy to capture Hart. Okay, they dare to send it to the door by themselves. When my Augustus family is no one, no one can't do it?"

"Master..." the butler hurriedly said: "The situation is a bit special, Master Hart does not seem to be subject to any restrictions. Apart from looking a little tired, there is nothing wrong with it."

Leo Zheng, obviously things were beyond his expectation. He nodded, put away the depressive breath entrenched in the study, adjusted his mood, and asked the butler to arrange for the visitor to go to a secret room. Taking Leo's experience , It is not difficult to see that these people must have a lot of articles, especially one of them is regarded as the enemy's zero, then the problem is more complicated.

Leo believes that even if Xiuya is crazy to cooperate with his enemies, the law enforcement group will never do it, let alone the leader of the law enforcement group. Leo, the person who is not the left, also knows that he is lazy like a refugee, but actually Shang, but he is a guy with amazing means. Such a man will never go with Zero for no reason. Aside from Xiuya, Zuofei and Zero alone are enough to make Leo act cautiously.

No one knows that Blu-ray Mountain brought a few special guests today. Zuo Fei directly notified the Augustus family of the arrival through the secret channel of the law enforcement team. So when the four of them came to one room with the housekeeper. (, ! ] Not big, but in the windowless secret room, no one else in the Augustus family, including Rhein, knew that Hart had returned to the family hinterland.

As soon as the housekeeper quit, Leo walked in. When the door closed, he and Hart hugged tightly. Then he said, "Just come back."

Letting go of Hart, Leo's gaze flicked over Xiuya and Zuo Fei, and finally stopped on Zero's face. He said directly: "You let Hart go, it's good. Except for letting me withdraw troops, You can make any request, young man."

Hart looked at Zero awkwardly, and said freely, "Tianhao, I have nothing to ask for other than to let you withdraw."

Leo suddenly became fierce: "Now you are in the territory of Augustus, don't you think directly that our family can't come up with the powerhouse of Tier 11 to compete with you?"

"If I'm fighting for war, do you think Hart can stand here?" Zero Rhetor asked, his momentum was no weaker than Leo.

Leo squinted his eyes: "Maybe you just can't kill my son."

Hart coughed and said, "Father, it's easy for Zero to kill me."

Leo looked at his son unexpectedly, and Hart spread his hands and said, "Okay, Mr. Zuo Fei. If you don't say anything, I won't care about the fight between father and zero."

Zuo Fei smiled bitterly, and said to Leo: "Mr. Leo, our law enforcement team, and several parliaments suspect that the speaker is bringing the parliament into the abyss."

Leo asked quietly: "Which members are they?"

Zuo Fei answered one by one, but every name he said made Leo's eyelids jump. His eyelids jumped seven times. These seven names, even if they are slightly inferior to Leo, But it is also a very important name on the parliament. If Zuo Fei does not slander, then the biggest danger of trust in the history of the parliament will explode.

At the center of the storm is Speaker Oglock. This kind of thing can't be handled well, and it is not surprising that even if the council collapses immediately.

Leo said solemnly: "What the **** is going on."

They talked in detail for two hours in the secret room, and the butler also stood outside the door for two hours. Until the door opened, Hart walked out with a smile and said to the butler: "Please bring us some coffee, father and guest. We all need to be refreshed."

The butler glanced in the door, and Leo was pinching his eyebrows. Judging from his nearly 30 years of experience in serving the Patriarch, Leo is encountering something undecidable. He has always acted decisively, even if it is Hart. When he disappeared, Leo also reacted immediately. It can be said that it is very rare for him to show hesitation like this.

Hart closed the door again and listened to Leo snorting: "Prosius? I can hardly believe that there is such a...existence in the world?"

"At this point, you can ask my father, and he will give you the same answer as us." Xiu Ya said boldly.

Leo looked at her and said complicatedly: "Major General, do you know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know that, by nature, I am betraying my father." Xiuya's eyes were soft: "But emotionally speaking, I know very well that I am saving him. I don't want him to go to the point where everyone betrays his relatives. So even if it hurts him, I am willing to do it."

After watching her for a full minute, Leo sighed, "It seems that there is such a thing."

"If you don't believe me, I can ask Douglas to testify. He is also one of the few people who feel the changes in the world." Zero said.

Leo shook his head: "No, I know what Major General Xiuya is like. Since she also jumped out to say that, the truth is true."

"What's more, you brought Hart back and didn't choose to kill him." Leo looked at Zero and said: "Although in the short term, killing a Hart will not change the overall situation. But in the long run, it will allow Ten years later, our family began to fall into a crisis of no successor. Whether it is for our family or the council, this is definitely a time bomb. Since you have shown your sincerity, I have no reason not to believe it."

"There is a more serious problem." Zuo Fei sighed and said: "According to the information we have, Lord Speaker has transferred a large amount of war resources in the Parliament in the name of war, but where did these resources go? So far it is an unknown number."

Hart also said: "The speaker's recent actions are really strange, father, do you still remember my request to apply for high-level combat power to the council? The Abyss Black Cavalry tuned in, then where did this part of the combat power go?"

Leo's eyes moved, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and uttered two words: "Dark Nest!"

"Dark Nest?"

A few people looked at each other, even Xiuya and Zuo Fei had never heard of the word.

Leo said solemnly: "Damn it, Ogg, you still do this all the time."

"Father, what is a hidden nest?" Hart asked for everyone.

"That was a plan, a plan shortly after the advent of the Abyss Black Knight." Leo said softly.

After the Dark Knight of the Abyss was successfully formulated, Oglock proposed a bolder and crazier idea. The genetic blueprint of the Dark Knight of the Abyss came from the Disorder, but in order to retain its will, the Council spent a lot of resources in this regard. It can be said that the cost of each Abyssal Black Knight is amazing, and the quantity is successfully determined. The huge resource consumption determines that the Abyss Black Knight cannot mass-produce it.

Because the main resource consumption of the Black Cavalry is to retain the will, Oglock proposed to eliminate this requirement and use a similar intelligent way to control, so as to reduce the success and mass produce Tier 10 biological weapons. [,! Purpose. This approach is actually similar to Asmore, the difference is that Asmore is still unable to produce Tier 10 weapons.

At that time, only three people knew about this plan. Apart from Oglock and Dr.Shona, the host of the original Abyss Project, only Leo knew about it. When Leo learned that Oglock had this idea, he tried to stop Ray. Ou believes that Tier 10 weapons without will are a hundred times more dangerous than the abyss black knight. With will, like the abyss black knight, their behavior can also be regulated by a series of emotions such as morality and loyalty.

Without the will, it is like a beast that has opened the shackles. Even if there is system control, no one can guarantee whether these weapons will get out of control. And once the mass-produced Tier 10 weapons get out of control, it will definitely be a devastating blow.

Because of Leo's strong opposition, Oglock promised to abandon the Dark Nest Project.

"But now, he has obviously restarted." Leo shook his head and said: "Ogg has always been a stubborn old thing. The fact that he would turn against Douglas back then was due to the fundamental difference in principle between the two. For so many years, Ogg has been proving to Douglas. Own, it's just that I didn't expect that his obsession has now become completely crazy."

Zuo Fei sighed after hearing this: "So I am most afraid of dealing with paranoia, and they are not even close to the lunatic."

Xiu Ya immediately gave him a fierce look, and the latter smiled bitterly and said, "No offense, it's just the truth."

"Father, in terms of your familiarity with the speaker, what stage do you think this plan has reached?" Hart asked.

Leo walked back and forth in the secret room a few times, and said: "Ogg, this guy, I'm afraid that when this war started, he secretly prepared to restart the Dark Nest plan."

"Wait, what do you mean. This war, and everything else, is just a pretext for the Speaker to activate the Dark Nest?" Hart said silently.

Leo sighed: "I'm afraid so, because only war will distract all the members, including me. Because only war, the speaker has the most power to allocate resources. Also only war, when the dark nest plan is exposed, He can also use war as an excuse to get rid of it. Ogg intends to clean up the world and use his ideas to clean up."

"Where is the base of the dark nest?" Zero asked directly.

"Reaper Hill."

"Death Mountain?" The people present took another breath.

Grim Reaper Ling could not be more familiar, whether it was as a mercenary in the wilderness, or later in order to go to other continents, to salvage the Destiny from the Grim Reaper Ridge. The environment on that mountain is complex, and there is an abyss like the Defiler. Lord, it is indeed not a good place to set up a research base. But because of this, no one thought that the base of the Dark Nest would be set up on that mountain collar.

Death Mountain can be said to be very close to Phoenix. Once the Dark Nest Warrior is mass-produced and put on the battlefield, the first one to suffer annihilation will definitely be Phoenix. Fortunately, Zero could not help but find it early, otherwise he would think that everything is under control. In, when the Dark Nest Warrior appeared, it was too late.

"At that time, Oglock had already made a detailed plan, and even the personnel arrangements and resource preparation had been completed. Finally, it was stranded because of my opposition. If he restarts this plan, then the Dark Nest base will definitely still be on Death Ridge. There is only one point. , I don’t know the specific location of the base."

"Being able to know that it's good on Death Mountain." Ling Shen said: "I have to go back immediately, and then organize an operation. This base must be destroyed."

Leiou nodded: "I can lend two tenth-tier experts here, and there can be no more. If there are more, there will be noise."

"In this way, the battle on the front line has to continue." Hart groaned: "At least, we have to show it to the speaker."

"Yes, I will notify Saul when I go back and let him cooperate with you in a good show." Ling said.

Hart shrugged: "The fate is really amazing. Two days ago, I was thinking about **** Sol, but now I want to cooperate with him."

Leo smiled and said: "Let's go and do it, I will also talk to those old guys. See how we can stop Ogg from continuing to make mistakes after you take out the Dark Nest."

A few people came secretly and left secretly. A few days later, Hart returned to Nilu City. As for how to disappear and how to return, he naturally had a set of excuses. Zero went to see Saul in secret, and will talk about He was told about the Dark Nest Project and the cooperation with Augustus.

The war continues, and artillery is still flying on the main battlefield that the two sides are fighting for. However, under the intentional mobilization of the commanders of the two sides, the war seems to be fierce, but the number of casualties has plummeted. Of course, the officers of the parliament will only attribute it to Kazakhstan. Special scheduling.

When the war attracted the attention of most people, a secret team set off from Phoenix and quietly headed to Death Mountain. This team was presided over by Zero, and its members included his own Feng, Ye Liu and Haiwei. Continue to stay on the battlefield, occasionally appearing, giving people the illusion that Dawn City is still participating in the battle. Next, there is Xiuya, and Zuo is not a member of these two councils.

Finally, there are two strong men from the Hall of Valor, Starly and Nero, and two strong family members, Naxi and Fangelis, who are loaned by the Augustus family.
