Chapter 925 Dark Nest

Blu-ray Mountain was originally the property of Parkland chaebols. When the parliament decided to fight the war, Parkland chaebols were expelled. As for the final outcome of this marginal aristocracy, no one will pay attention to it. In front of the giant beast of the Dark Parliament, the chaebol with some influence on the edge of the coastline can't even be called a homeless dog, completely crushed like an ant.

Who cares whether the ants are still alive or have become the nutrients of giant beasts?

After that, the territory of the Parkland chaebol was naturally taken over by the Augustus family. The parliament has expanded abroad. As a top rich family supporting the parliament, the Augustus family has only got the part of the benefits they deserve. While reaping benefits, rich families also have their own responsibility to deal with them. For example, if the frontline war fails and the enemy goes north, the Augustus family must resist the enemy, and sending the eldest son of the family as a frontline commander is only a small part of its obligations.

Benefits are always relative.

As the owner of Augustus, Leo is well aware of this. But when he received the news that Hart was missing and died, he couldn't help but feel dizzy. Hart has been regarded as the future helm of the family, and he may not be as good as Rein in terms of potential for force, but in other aspects. For example, strategy is much better than running a family. Of course, in this chaotic era, as the head of the family, you must also have the force to control all the people in the clan.

Hart's strength to advance to the tenth level not long ago is enough, even if his potential is only to reach the tenth level.

For a promising young man like this, the family has invested only a lot in him. Hart also rewarded the family with his practical actions and front-line achievements. For more than a year, his actions have been recognized by important members of the family. No surprise, a few years later, Leo can retire to the second line and hand over the heavy responsibility of the family to this young man.

At that time, with the help of Rein's force and the two brothers working together, Leo can almost see a more dazzling future for the Augustus family.

But at this time, the news came that Hart was missing.

The garrison commander in Niru City has been executed by Leo for dereliction of duty, but this is far from calming the anger and a trace of fear caused by the disappearance of Aiko. Leo knew very well that he did not have the strength to cultivate another Hart, not to mention that among Hart's brothers and sisters, only one line could barely replace him. But Rein 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 exactly what a family owner needs.

It has been more than 24 hours since Hart disappeared. Every minute and second has been a torture for Leo for more than one day. He did not roar, but was as quiet as a deep and bottomless abyss. If someone accidentally touched it, he would fall to pieces.

How long did Hart disappear? Leo stayed in his study. Now even the servant who has no power in his study can feel the depression like a big storm. This is undoubtedly a hard job for the housekeeper who needs to report the latest news to what Leo knows from time to time. Even if the housekeeper has been serving the Augustus family for 30 years, he knows that Leo will never touch half a finger on himself. But every time he stepped into the study, the housekeeper almost thought that he had stepped into the nest of the fierce beast.

Every time he is careful, he will always sweat and his legs will be weak after leaving the study.

But this time, his steps were steady and light, and the corners of his mouth couldn't even help showing such a smile or two. Opening the door, the study was still extremely depressed, and Leo was looking out of the window with his hands on his back. Just a back is enough to suffocate. The momentum unconsciously released from him 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 responsible for the search come to see me with their heads." Leo said without looking back.

The housekeeper took a deep breath and said, "Master, Major General Xiuya and Mr. Zuo Fei of the law enforcement regiment ask to see you."

"What are they doing here?" Leo frowned, especially the speaker's righteous daughter and the head of the law enforcement group, which looked like a strange combination no matter how they looked at it.

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

"Hart?" Leo turned around like a whirlwind and said with his eyes shining, "You said that Hart was with them, and they caught Hart. You just said Zero of Dawn City, that's right. Even Constantine lost the hand of this young strong man, and it's easy to catch Hart. Well, how dare they send it to the door by themselves? No one in my Augustus family can do it?

"Master..." The housekeeper hurriedly said, "The situation is a little special. Young Master Hart doesn't seem to be banned. There is nothing wrong except looking a little tired.

Leo's first expedition, obviously, things were unexpected to him. He nodded, put away the depressed breath in the study, adjusted his mood, and let the housekeeper arrange for the visitors to go to a secret room. With Leo's experience, it is not difficult to see that these people must have a lot of articles, especially one of them is the enemy's zero, so 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 so, not to mention the head of the law enforcement group. Leo, the person left Fei, also knows that he is lazy like a migrant on the surface, but in fact, he is an amazing guy. Such a man will never walk with Zero for no reason. Leaving aside Xiuya, single left and zero together is enough to make Leo act carefully.

No one knew that Blu Mountain brought several special guests today, and Zuo Fei directly notified several people of the Augustus family through secret channels of the law enforcement team. So when the four of them followed the housekeeper to a small but windowless secret room, no one in the Augustus family, including Rein, knew that Hart had returned to the family's hinterland.

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

Letting go of Hart, Leo's eyes passed over Xiuya and Zuo Fei, and finally stopped on Zero's face. He said directly, "It's good that you let Hart go. You can make any request except for my withdrawal, young man.

Hart looked at Zero awkwardly and said freely, "Well, I have nothing but to ask you to withdraw."

Leo suddenly became fierce: "Now you are in the territory of Augustus. Do you think that our family can't compete with the 11th-level strongman?"

"If I'm fighting for war, do you think Hart can stand here?" Zero rhetoric, the momentum is no weaker than Leo.

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

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

Leo looked at his son unexpectedly, and Hart spread out his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Zuo Fei. If you don't say anything again, I won't care if my father fights with Zero.

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

Leo asked quietly, "Which parliamentarians are they?"

Zuo Fei answered one by one, but every name he said made Leo's eyelids jump. His eyelids jumped seven times, and these seven names, even if slightly inferior to his Leo, were also important names in Parliament. If Zuo Fei does not talk nonsense, then the greatest danger of trust in the history of parliament will break out.

At the center of the storm is Speaker Oglock. It is not surprising that this kind of thing can't be handled well, even if the parliament collapses immediately.

Leo said in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?"

They talked in detail for two hours in the secret room, and the housekeeper also stood outside the door for two hours. Until the door opened, Hart came out with a smile and said to the housekeeper, "Please give us some coffee. Both father and guests need to refresh."

The housekeeper glanced at the door, and Leo was pinching his eyebrows. Judging from his nearly 30 years of experience in serving the head of the family, Leo is encountering an incongible situation. He has always acted decisively. Even if Hart disappeared, Leo reacted immediately. It can be said that it is very rare for him to show hesitation like now.

Hart closed the door again and heard Leo hum, "Prosius? It's hard for me to believe that there is such a... existence in the world?

"You can ask my father about this, and he will give you the same answer as us." Xiu Ya said arrogantly.

Leo looked at her and said in a complicated way, " Major General, do you know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know that in nature, I am betraying my father." Xiuya's eyes were soft: "But emotionally, I know very well that I am saving him. I don't want him to go to the point of betrayal, so I'm willing to do it even if it hurts him.

After looking at her for a minute, Leo sighed, "It seems that there is really such a thing."

"If you don't believe it, 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 exactly what kind of person Major General Xiuya is. Since even she jumped out to say so, nine out of ten things are true.

"What's more, you brought Hart back without choosing 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 put our family in a crisis of no successor ten years later. Whether it is for our family or the parliament, this is definitely *. Since you have shown 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, the Speaker has mobilized a large number of war resources in the parliament in the name of war, but it is still unknown where these resources have gone."

Hart also said: "The speaker's recent move is really strange. Father, do you remember my request to apply to the parliament for high-level combat effectiveness? Even if the coalition forces of the Yingling Hall and Dawn City have forced into the front line, and the Speaker has refused to transfer the black horse of the abyss, where has this part of the combat power gone?

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

"The dark nest?"

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

Leo said in a low voice, "Damn it, Aug, you still did it."

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

"That's a plan, a plan soon after the black horse came out in the abyss." Leo whispered.

After the abyss black horse was successfully modulated, Oglock put forward a bolder and crazier idea. The genetic blueprint of the black horse in the abyss comes from the disorderly, but in order to retain its will, the parliament has spent a lot of resources in this regard. It can be said that the cost of each abyss black horse is very amazing, and the number is successfully determined. The huge resource consumption determines that the abyss black horse cannot be mass-produced.

Because the main resource consumption of the black horse lies in retaining the will, Oglock proposed to eliminate this requirement and use intelligent AI-like control, so as to reduce success and mass-produced tenth-order biological weapons. This practice is actually similar to Asmo. The difference is that Asmo can't produce ten-order weapons.

At that time, only three people knew about the plan. Except for Oglock and Dr. Shawner, the former host of the Abyss project, only Leo knew. When Leo learned that Oglock had this idea, he tried his best to stop it. Leo believes that tenth-order weapons without will are 100 times more dangerous than black horses in the abyss. With the will, like the black horse in the abyss, 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 it is controlled by the AI system, no one can guarantee whether these weapons will get out of control one day. Once the mass-produced tenth-order weapons get out of control, it will definitely be a devastating blow.

Because of Leo's strong opposition, Oglock promised to abandon the nest plan.

"But now, he has obviously restarted." Leo shook his head and said, "Og has always been a stubborn old man. When he turned against Douglas, it was a fundamental difference between the two principles. For so many years, Auger has been proving himself to Douglas, but I didn't expect that his obsession has now become completely crazy.

Zuo Fei sighed and said, "So I'm most afraid of dealing with paranoia. They are far from crazy people."

Xia immediately stared at him fiercely, 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 now?" Hart asked.

Leo walked back and forth a few times in the secret room and said, "Og, I'm afraid that when this war starts, he will secretly prepare to restart the dark nest plan."

"Wait, what do you mean? This war, and everything else, is just a cover for the Speaker to start the dark nest? Hart lost his voice.

Leo sighed, "I'm afraid it is, because only war will distract all the legislators, including me. Because only in war can the speaker have the greatest allocation of resources. There is also only war. When the secret plan is exposed, he can also prevaricate it under the pretext of war. Og intends to clean up the world and carry out a cleanup with his ideas.

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

"Death Ridge."

"Death Ridge?" The people present took a cold breath again.

Death Ridge Zero is very familiar, whether it was when he was a mercenary in the wilderness or later salvaged the fate from the Death Ridge in order to go to other continents. The environment on the mountain is complex, and there are ayuan lords like filth devourers, which 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 territory.

Death Ridge can be said to be close to Phoenix. Once the dark nest warriors are mass-produced and put into the battlefield, Phoenix will be the first to suffer annihilation. Zero couldn't help but be glad to find out early, otherwise he thought everything was under control. When the dark nest warrior appeared, everything would be too late.

"At that time, Oglock had made a detailed plan, and even the personnel arrangement and resource preparation had been completed. Finally, I was stranded because of my opposition. If he restarted this plan, the dark nest base must still be on Death Ridge. Only one thing, I don't know the specific location of the base.

"It's good to know that it's good to be on Death Ridge." Zero said in a low voice, "I have to go back immediately and then organize an operation. This base must be destroyed."

Leo nodded: "I can lend two ten-order strong men. There can't be more. If there are more, the wind will leak."

"In this way, the battle on the front line has to continue." Hart pondered, "At least, we have to make an appearance for the speaker."

"Yes, I'll inform Saul when I get back and ask him to cooperate with you to play a good play." Zero said.

Hart shrugged his shoulders: "Fate is really wonderful. Two days ago, I was thinking about how to kill Saul, but now I want to cooperate with him."

Leo smiled and said, "Let go and do it. I will also talk to those old guys. Let's see how we can stop Auger from continuing to make mistakes after you take down the dark nest.

Several people came secretly and left secretly. A few days later, Hart returned to Niru City. As for how to disappear and how to come back, he naturally came up with a statement. Zero secretly went to see Saul and told him about the secret nest plan and cooperation with Augustus.

The war continues, and there is still gunfire on the main battlefield between the two sides. However, under the intentional mobilization of the commanders of both sides, the war seems fierce, but the number of casualties has plummeted. Of course, the officers of the parliament will only attribute it to Hart's dispatch.

Just as the war attracted the attention of most people, a secret team set out from Phoenix and quietly went to Death Ridge. This team is presided over by Zero, and the team members include his own Ye Liu and Hai Wei. Su and Feng continued to stay on the battlefield and occasionally appeared, giving people the illusion that Dawn City was still participating in the war. It may be seen through, but that's after removing the dark nest.

Finally, Starley and Nero, two strong men from the Spirit Temple, and Nasi and Fanzalis, the two strong men of the family loaned by the Augustus family.
