Lord of War

Chapter 923 Sincerity

At night, the lights are still bright outside Phoenix. A row of spotlights above the wall illuminated the battlefield below. Soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, and the bodies of the dead must be burned centrally to prevent the plague. Plague was terrible in the old days, and in this era when new germs appear almost every day, the outbreak of plague is deadly enough.

As for the firearms, ammunition and even chariots and shells in the hands of the deceased are recoverable resources. All these resources are collected, which is also a considerable number.

Towards the end of the daytime battle, the commander of the parliament issued an order to retreat. Zero did not deliberately stop them. After all, the wilderness outside Phoenix is very vast, and there is no restriction on the terrain of the enemy's movement, and the number of soldiers in the city is only comparable to that of the enemy, so there is no way to intercept it at all. But even so, the parliament still left a mountain-high body outside Phoenix.

Looking at the several corpse mountains that were regulated in the light, Ling shook his head and returned to the city. War is not pleasant, whether it is for the loser or the winner. A guy who will feel that war is as intoxicating as wine, either a psychopath or a war maniac.

Zero is neither, so it seems a little depressing to return to the two-story building where you live.

The next day, a detailed report was put before his case, which listed the war losses of the two sides, and everything was expressed in numbers and clearly. Because of the good use of tactics and the help of high-level aliens, the war losses on Phoenix are very limited. In contrast, more than 10,000 bodies were lost on the side of the parliament, and more than 50 damaged chariots.

With these chariots alone, the amount lost by the parliament will be a considerable number.

The same report appeared in Hart's office in Niru, and Hart looked at the report without saying a word for a long time.

The parliament suffered heavy losses in this operation. The most damaged parts are not soldiers, but chariots and capable people, including Constantine and two black riders. The fall of these three strong men alone is worth more than the sum of other losses. In particular, Constantine, the old strong man of Augustus, almost watched Hart's man die, which made Hart feel an indescribable bitterness.

He didn't even dare to look like his father Leo when he received the news. At the same time, Hart also understood why the last time he exchanged supplies back to Rein, Zero would generously attach those who have the ability to surrender. Because for Zero, at the level of his army, these people with abilities below the eighth level have become dispensable.

Hart sat in the office. He was not angry or roared. He just sat quietly as usual. It's just that the light falling into the office through the window today looks much paler than usual.

The war lasted less than a day, but it took more than two days to clean up the battlefield. All the dead bodies have been completely cremated. The cremated ashes and debris will be transported to the wilderness ten kilometers away for landfill. Maybe they can also make a final contribution to the world. Turning into fertilizer to revive the land can also be regarded as another kind of rebirth?

As for the chariots that can be repaired, they are being repaired, and soon these chariots can be put into the battlefield. Brown originally planned to remove the parliamentary signs on these chariots, but Zero planned to keep them. Drops of these chariots at critical moments can also confuse the eyes and ears of the parliament.

After General Dos withdrew, Hart also withdrew his army in Jericho. On that battlefield, the parliament is in the advantage of the main attack, and it is naturally not difficult to retreat. But next, Niru City will be quite difficult. Saul will never let go of this opportunity to hit the parliament hard, but will look for an opportunity to further expand the trauma.

When the wound is so big that it can't stop bleeding, it is enough to kick the parliamentary army out of the coastline and roll to the Eternal Night City in the north of the mainland. There is no hunch that a big battle is coming. Before the storm that will change the situation on the mainland, all he has to do is to prepare for the war.

Another day later, Saul sent an invitation for a joint general attack. Naturally, Zero would not refuse the invitation, so the army in Phoenix began to mobilize again. Soldiers, capable people, chariots, biological weapons... The same war resources were gathered and ready to start. At this time, Zero welcomed two special guests.

They brought them to the office in person. When they asked about the identity of the other party, they smiled and did not answer. They only said to Zero, "One of them is your old friend."

Zero was curious about which old friend ran to Phoenix at this time. When he opened the door of the office and walked in, he saw two figures in a cloak, one of whom was petite and seemed to be a woman. The other was undoubtedly a man. Hearing the footsteps behind him, the two who were talking softly at the window turned around. The woman took off her hat and showed her blue hair and familiar face.

"Chuya?" Ling shouted softly, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for you to fight." Xiuya simply took off her tent and said, "It's so sad to wear this thing."

"This is to cover people's eyes and ears, Major General."

The man next to him said that he also took off his cape, revealing his pale blonde hair and a lazy face. But in those half-squinted eyes, Zero saw a flashing light. Obviously, this man was not as simple as he looked.

"Let me introduce it." Xiuya pushed the man forward and said, "This is Zuo Fei, the head of the parliamentary law enforcement group. In short, the purpose of the law enforcement group is to ensure that the parliament does not go astray under personal selfishness. Now, Zuo Fei still has some legislators who think my father. That is to say, Speaker Oglock is using his power to satisfy his ambitions. By the way, they already know about Prosius.

Zero suddenly changed his gaze and looked at Zuo Fei. Zuo Fei spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "The major general is really straightforward. Even the necessary decorations have been skipped, which is really embarrassing."

"I don't think so, at least in my opinion, this is more efficient. At least I will let you sit down and talk about it in detail, instead of kicking you out immediately. After all, it makes a ten-level strong man wander in my city, which makes people feel uneasy no matter how you look at it.

Zuo Fei laughed and said, "Mr. Zero laughed, with your strength and the strong men in the city. It's not easy for me to clean up.

"Oc's it, don't say anything polite. I'm sorry, I'm pressed for time, so you have 10 minutes to explain your intention.

"You are so generous." Zuo Fei shrugged his shoulders and no longer retained it, spreading the parliament's full suspicion of Oglock's work. Finally, he said: "Although some legislators have proposed to suspend the speaker's rights, to be honest, the power they have is not enough to counterbalance the speaker. We need to fight for Leo, the patriarch of the Augustus family. Only the approval of him, a heavyweight, is qualified to suspend the speaker's action.

"So what can I do?"

"We hope you can convince Leo that looking at the current situation, only those who do not belong to the parliament and the Spiritual Hall and are strong enough can hope to do this. And the current situation is that I can't think of a better candidate except you. Zuo Feidao.

Zero nodded and said, "My intention is to prevent the further expansion of internal consumption before participating in this war. Since our goals are the same, there is no possibility of cooperation. However, is Leo so easy to be manipulated?

"Of course, it's not easy. This is also my biggest headache." Zuo Fei smiled bitterly and said, "You need to create a condition, a condition that is enough to convince Leo that you are sincere in order to open his defense. Otherwise, he will probably drive you away as soon as possible.

Zero looked at Xiuya and said, "Sure enough, it's not a good job."

"Of course. You should know that I am still detained by my father. If it hadn't been for Zuo Fei's help, I wouldn't have come here to see you at all. Xiuya bit her lip and said, "Didn't you say that the world was dying? Now I know and work hard to stop it from dying. So, don't refuse!"

Zuo Fei looked at the girl beside him unexpectedly, but stared back at Xiuya fiercely. The head of the law enforcement team smiled secretly, and Xiu Ya has always been strong, showing a strong side even in front of her father. But when talking to Zero, she is a little coquettish, which is completely different from her usual.

Zero smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's exactly what I would like to see to minimize casualties and end the war. Whenever I have a chance, I will try. What's more, we are on the same line. Being a comrade-in-arms is better than being an enemy.

The stone in Zuo Fei's heart fell in half, and he asked, "Then when are you going to leave?"

Zero replied, "Didn't you say you want to create a suitable condition? I think now the opportunity has come.

"What is it?" Zuo Fei's eyes lit up.

"Maybe you don't know yet. Just a few days ago, Hart used a very clever strategy to fight with me and Saul at the same time. Unfortunately, although his strategy is clever, his combat effectiveness is still slightly weaker. Your parliament has suffered a loss here, and now its strength has been greatly damaged. Saul has invited me to join forces to attack the city of Niru.

Hearing this, Zuo Fei's face changed and said, "How can that be done? Once Niru City is knocked down, it will even hurt Hart. Leo must refuse to compromise for revenge, which will only force him to the side of the speaker!"

"Of course I know." Zero said, "I'll leave later and meet Saul first. Finalizing the details of the attack, this war still needs to be fought, but it needs to be fought in a measured way, and also hit out your so-called conditions.

Looking at Zero, Zuo Fei and Xiu Ya looked at each other and couldn't figure out his real intention.
