Chapter 1169: Black band

--Remember!
Black clouds covered the entire sky, as if standing on the roof of the house could be touched. --/--/
The cold winter wind blew through the bare treetops, making a whistling sound like a jackal, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
There are few pedestrians on the wide street, and occasionally a person rushes past, also shrinking his neck, trying to avoid the cold wind.
The usual noisy shouts and greetings could not be heard on the street, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed, even if there are still business signs, they are half-hidden. I can't tell at all, this is the most famous business district in the imperial city of Akadrin.
The winter coup d’état two months ago not only changed the political landscape of Lingshan, but also changed the lives of all the people.
On the second day of the coup d’état, the government that had just formed a cabinet had not yet been hot, it had already issued a decree, including food, timber, vehicles, horses, steel, kerosene, etc., on a large scale. Various strategic materials to prepare for future wars.
I have to say that the new government is very effective in selling the country-in order to please the dark council, they directly used the army to complete this work.
Due to the military intervention, the stockpiling of various materials is very efficient, which also makes the officials of the new government very happy-it seems that the tasks assigned by the dark council can be completed in time, and everyone's official position is also Saved.
However, at the same time, the destructive power of this forced large-scale collection of materials has gradually emerged. Due to the forced collection of materials, even the horses and vehicles used to transport the materials are also recruited. As a result, prices have skyrocketed and materials are in short supply.
Moreover, those businessmen who had colluded with the officials of the new government saw this rare opportunity. They were also hoarding in the midst of it.
In this case, Lingshan's business was hit hard. Almost all the cities gradually fell silent. The only exceptions are probably pubs and brothels. Only these two places of service and entertainment industry are still full of people and lively.
People who have nothing to do, and those who have spare money in their pockets, can indulge in sensuality and kill the whole day.
A young man walked quickly on this bleak winter street. He was wearing a beautiful military uniform and the officer's logo on his shoulders was gleaming.
As he walked, he looked at the shop signs on the street. He kept muttering: "Black Band...Black Band, , this weather."
"Ha, I found it." The young man yelled in excitement, and saw a sign hanging on the gate, with a black hexagram painted on it, with a few notes floating, and a line "black band" written underneath. word.
The young man rubbed his cold hands and murmured in a low voice: "Your sister, Joseph, set the place so far. I finally found it."
With that, he raised his hand and pushed open the door of the tavern. Suddenly, a loud thunder was heard from among the dark clouds in the sky.
The thunder of "Rumble" wafted between the sky and the earth, spreading throughout Akadrin.
The young man shrank his neck in shock and looked up at the sky in surprise.
Not only him, but all the pedestrians on the street looked up at the sky in amazement.
"What thunder was hit in the winter?" the young man muttered, "It's a bad omen~!"
Then opened the door and walked in.
As the doorbell of the "jingle bell" rang, a heat wave rushed along with the noise, mixed with the strong, pungent smell of cheap wine.
The atmosphere in the tavern was warm, with a vigorous fire burning in the fireplace. With the full of alcoholic people sitting in the house, the temperature here has increased by at least twenty degrees.
The musician played the "Weng Ba Weng Ba" tune, and people joked and laughed unscrupulously. Drink happily.
Noisy, noisy, yet warm, and the cold outside are two completely different worlds. The young man sighed uncomfortably, and then closed the door of the room with his hands, blocking the cold from the door.
The barmaid with long chestnut hair and an orange waiter attire hurried up to see a customer coming.
When she went to the young officer, she gave him a charming look, and said with a smile: "Oh, handsome, virgin face, is this the first time?"
As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the young officer's face lightly.
The young officer obviously has no experience in this area, and it is not suitable for such a molestation. He flushed, smiled shyly, and said, "I have an appointment."
The waitress giggled with a trembling shoulder, and said, "We are not a big hotel. There is no reservation.
By the way, who are you looking for? "
"Joseph," the officer said hastily, "Joseph, Jonah."
"Hey..." The waitress lost a disapproving look, and said angrily: "Look for that bad boy. He has been dominating the innermost one. Go by yourself."
After finishing speaking, the waitress rolled her eyes, cast off the handsome officer and turned away.
The young man blinked, and he was very uncomfortable with the waitress' attitude. Then after thinking for a while, he squeezed sideways from the crowd.
He walked through a corridor and quickly came to the place the waitress said, a single room in a semi-basement, where the air was not as dirty as in a tavern, and there was a slight smell of wine.
He also understands why the waiter in the tavern is so angry, because this is the wine cellar of the tavern.
In the middle of the wine cellar was a small round table. Several young men in the same military uniforms as him were sitting around the table, leaning together and whispering.
Seeing his arrival, one of the tall young men with blond hair stood up, waved to him, and said, "Morgan, you are finally here, and I bet with them whether you stupid will get lost again. "
Morgan took off his coat and was still on the back of the chair, and smiled and said, "Who makes your place so hard to find?"
With a bold wave of his hand, Joseph pointed to the thick stacked wine barrels in the wine cellar, and said: "Take what you want to drink, and treat this as your own home."
Morgan picked up a glass casually, then took a glass of ale, and said, "Why are you such a good place?"
Joseph lit a cigar, took a deep breath and put it between his fingertips, and said: "This is my uncle opened it. I have liked to nest here to steal alcohol since I was eight."
"I really envy you as a lazy fellow," Morgan said with admiration. "By the way, you won't believe it. I heard a thunder when I walked in."
Joseph and the other two people beside him looked at each other and said: "We were talking about this just now, it's not thunder."
"what happened?"
A 30-year-old officer next to him sneered and said, "The human being has a weapon called artillery, which is very powerful.
Each hit can top a mid-level magician to fully perform, and can fire continuously. Extremely lethal. Compared to the Magic Cannon, it is not much. What's more frightening is that it can also be manufactured in large quantities.
Note that it is in large quantities. Not one, not ten, but hundreds of thousands~! "
Having said that, he paused for a while, and then said: "Think about it, if you put three thousand cannons like this on a frontal battlefield ten kilometers wide..."
Everyone couldn't help taking a breath, and they all fell silent.
They are all the elites of the Semitic, and they have all seen the power of the Magic Cannon-in front of that terrible power that destroys almost everything. Any flesh and blood body is vulnerable.
If this news is true, then the proud bravery of the Semitic will become a laughing stock. Lined up charge. It will be a collective death.
If this is true, it will rewrite the way of future wars~!
The middle-aged man seemed to have said this to many people. He was accustomed to seeing people’s surprised expressions. Therefore, he didn’t care about it. Instead, he continued:
After hearing that humans had that stuff, , We are not idle here. I have been copying it all the time. I heard that now I have some clues, at least the principle is known."
Joseph pointed to the speaker. Said: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Langley from the Ordnance Department. My senior."
Morgan nodded to him friendly and smiled reluctantly: "This is a good thing."
"What a shit~!" Lieutenant Colonel Langley yelled, "Do you know what they are using as ingredients? Burst Crystal~!
It has been bombed three times this month alone. Four people in our Ordnance Department have died and seven have been disabled. But those bone sticks are still experimenting, I'm afraid it will be my turn next month. "
Morgan was momentarily embarrassed and speechless, Joseph patted Langley on the shoulder sympathetically, and said, "Let you change your place in your house."
Langley sighed and said, "Where can I change? The headquarters is chaotic like a doghouse. The big bosses are busy fighting for power and profit, and they don't care about it.
The only thing I can go to is to get to the army. It’s even worse there. I heard that there is going to be a war, deserting soldiers everywhere, and those who can’t escape will harm themselves. He, even spanking. "
"The navy is the same," a naval officer slumped on a chair, facing the ceiling with smoke rings, and said: "I didn't know that grandson from the previous period. I was thinking about it. I want to conduct a sea exploration and go deep into the sea of ​​death.
Of course no one wants to go, but his grandmother's leg directly sent a supervising army to draw a lottery for life and death, and each of the four fleets had three main battleships. Now none of them are back. "
"Uh..." Morgan pondered for a moment, and said, "It doesn't have to be an accident, right?"
The navy officer shook his head with an angry expression, and said: "The fishing boat sent back a few pieces of wreckage the other day, and it was confirmed that it belonged to the Fourth Fleet.
Besides, that is the sea of ​​death, if it can pass, someone will know it a thousand years ago. "
Morgan remembered the rumors of the sea of ​​death and the eye of the storm, and nodded helplessly.
The navy officer said viciously: "The brothers below have said that if there is such a stupid pig-headed order from above, everyone will simply pull the boat out of the port and use the flag to be a pirate. There is still a way to survive.
That was twelve main battleships and more than two thousand experienced veterans.
Let them perform the task of sending them to death, let me know that it was the idea of ​​that idiot, and I must strangle him. "
Morgan rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I really know this."
"Who is it?" Several people stared at him viciously.
Morgan sighed and said, "The new head of the military command, Fair."
"Damn, the fat pig squad leader who came up by flattering. The with his own blood on his hands, wait, I will kill him tonight."
Joseph shook his head and said, "Forget it, Harrison, that guy knows he has too many enemies and is very alert. Before you get close, the bodyguard chopped you into pieces.
"Silver~!" Navy officer Harrison slammed the tabletop with anger.
The pretty figure of the waitress appeared at the door, glared at them dissatisfied, and yelled: "Hey, Joseph, can you keep me quiet. Can't the spies fly all over the street now? Grandma, I don't seem to be black skinned now. The dog is staring."
Joseph grinned and smiled flatteringly. Said: "Well, grandma, we know. Dude, be quiet."
Morgan nodded and said, "That's right, there are some things, it's okay to close the door, if you let others hear it, the trouble will be big. The guys in the intelligence department are like mad dogs. A director, the deputy director was fired for improper words."
"The new commander of the military is just a pile of shit. No, I was wrong. Even a pile of is better than him." Harrison scolded mercilessly: "A guy from a poor background, he didn't even become a captain. He started his career by relying on the coup d’état, and he can actually become the chief."
The young people looked at each other and all sighed.
"The great Semitic has no future." Morgan said inwardly, then shook his head and said: "I have a gossip.
Several heads came together. Morgan looked at them and lowered his voice: "It is said that a mysterious figure suddenly appeared next to the high priest. No one knows his origin.
Even the high priest himself called him Mr. This person is like a consultant who has been making suggestions for the high priest. "
"This man," Joseph asked with concern, "Is it great?"
Morgan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, but I heard that the high priest obeyed his words. Now he is in charge of all matters concerning the preparations for war."
Langley pressed his chin with his thumb and frowned, "Is the news reliable?"
Joseph patted Morgan on the shoulder, and said: "Since Morgan said it, it is absolutely reliable. He is the head of the headquarters, and any news must pass his hands."
Langley grumbled and said, "In this case, it is necessary to feel the details of this man."
God Morgan said mysteriously: "I also heard that the high priest has a beautiful and generous hand, specifically aimed at the Ruman Empire. If it succeeds, the Ruman Empire will be abolished and humanity will lose half of it."
"What is it?"
Morgan shrugged and said, "I don't know, but it's probably a special warfare."
Joseph first sneered, shook his head and said: "This is impossible. Unless you use millions of troops and overwhelm all your strength to fight the enemy with the main force, otherwise an empire like Ruman cannot be defeated by a special operation or two. .
And for the main decisive battle, just as we are embarrassed now, we can definitely not defeat the Ruman Empire. Don't say anything else, you remember that Lei Luo Na is Lorraine who abducted Adeling. "
Harrison laughed happily and said: "Why don't you remember, I heard that there are thousands of Lich who died in the hands of that guy, it's really relieved."
Joseph spread his hands and said: "I heard from our granddaughter, Rufian, and Farines, that they are now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Human Alliance."
"Rufian? How could he know about humans?" Langley asked suspiciously.
Joseph spread his hands and said, "I don't know. With our current chaotic appearance, fighting a decisive battle with humans is more likely to lose.
Guangruman's population is almost as large as our entire Semitic, not to mention that they have war fortresses and artillery. "
Harrison said anxiously: "This expedition seems to be indispensable. If you win, it's okay. If you can't win, I don't think we have a future."
Morgan licked his lips and said mysteriously: "I heard a saying. The reason the high priest wanted to fight was not to expand his power, but to clear our Semitic population."
Joseph nodded and said, "Someone in the Guards also said that in private."
Morgan said with a solemn expression: "Look, whenever our Semi population grows to a certain size, we will fight a big battle. The last time we fought Urban II hundreds of years ago, and then we and Lei Shan The civil war in China is now going to expedition to humanity.
Whenever the Semitic population is large and threatens the dark wizards, they will come up with bad ideas to let us kill ourselves. "
Hearing this sensational news, the faces of several young officers all had gloomy expressions.
After a while, Harrison muttered, "Why didn't anyone kill this immortal old monster?"
Joseph sneered and said, "Do you think there is no? Someone tried it six hundred years ago. It was recorded once in the internal history of the Janissaries that a guy stuffed a full 100 catties under the throne of the high priest and burst. crystal.
It exploded when he sat up. Boom~! "
Joseph made an explosive gesture with a pen, then sighed regretfully, and said: "The surrounding liches killed a group of them, but the high priest walked out of it intact."
"A hundred catties of burst crystals," Morgan curled his lips, expressing that he couldn't believe it, and said: "This is too..."
"Like a myth, I know, Joseph said: ‘I think so too, but our leader said it is true."
Langley also shook his head, picked up his clothes and stood up, and said, "I have to go. I'll be here today. I have to be on duty at night. Next time I will introduce some friends to you."
Joseph solemnly said: "You know the rules, safety first."
Langley pressed Joseph's shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry, I understand, I haven't lived enough for that."
Harrison picked up his hat, sighed, stood up and walked out.
Only Joseph and Morgan were left in the cellar.
Joseph looked around ~EbookFREE.me~ and then carefully closed the door, his expression solemnly said: "Dude, I have an idea..."
Seeing Joseph's solemn expression, Morgan put down his wine glass and said, "You said."
Joseph covered his mouth and rubbed it vigorously, then took a deep breath and said, "This war shouldn't have been fought."
Morgan sighed long and nodded helplessly.
Joseph said: "As a descendant of a Semitic royal family, I think we need to stop it."
Morgan's eyes lit up and he stared at Joseph fiercely, exclaiming: "Do you want to die? It's impossible for us, don't even think about it."
"Of course it's impossible for us alone," Joseph said, "but if there are bigger people to support us..."
