    Representatives of Section 278

    (Unexpectedly, so many people are so familiar with Warhammer. Well, I admit that the source of the idea for the next book is Warhammer. There are certain references between the basic framework and the game, but it is definitely not something that exists in the data. The Great Expedition  The split will not appear in the new book, and Yang Hua and Wang Biao will not rebel. Lao Hei will just borrow the background of the Warhammer world to tell a new story. Just like the background of the book "Wasteland" comes from "Fallout"  Same.)

    In just twenty-four hours, Heinrich's identity had undergone earth-shaking changes - the public recognition from the patriarch himself suddenly raised his succession order by three levels.  While beating out two other competitors, he also won the honor of being able to dine in the main dining room.

    It makes people jealous, envious, and makes people want to pounce on him and gnaw his throat out alive.

    This change of events caught people somewhat off guard. Heinrich came to power and not only squeezed the other two top direct blood relatives out of the core of power, but also gained the trust and appreciation of the clan leader.  This made everyone shocked, but also produced uncontrollable anger and jealousy.  But they can't change the reality at all. They can only hide in the darkness, grinding their teeth like wild beasts, growling, waiting and looking for any opportunity to replace it.

    As for the family alliance, it is now in complete chaos.

    Tens of thousands of soldiers were wiped out, which was far beyond the bottom line that the major families could bear.  A new round of army recruitment has begun, but equipping soldiers with weapons and resources will cost a lot of money.  In a short period of time, the family coalition could only use the existing armed forces to build an empty frame with little substance. This seemingly bluff expansion would not pose any threat to Ultra City at all.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Heinrich has retained a total of 6,000 veterans. Judging from the current chaotic situation, Ella Brock has actually gained absolute control within the alliance.

    What¡¯s more, among all the clan members, Heinrich is the only mutant with level five evolutionary strength.  This is not a transformational strengthening effect produced by using potions, but a terrifying ability that can continue natural life for thousands of years, evolve with battle or time, and even reach the standards of a parasitoid - rich experience and the difficulty of others.  With the power of shaking, he is likely to be the best candidate to be the next head of the family

    As the patriarch of the Ella Brock family, Crane.  Ella Brock is already showing her age.  Like all people who reach the age limit of seventy-five, he often feels that his energy is insufficient and his body no longer obeys the control of his brain.  Dizziness, breathlessness, numbness of limbs.  .  .  .  .  .  The symptoms of physical discomfort are becoming more and more obvious.

    I get up from bed every morning and look at the face in the mirror that is covered with deep wrinkles carved by a knife, the skin is as crispy and dark yellow as dry trees, and there are more and more wrinkles covering almost all corners of the face.  The large and small black spots, as well as the increasingly sparse hair on the top of his head, which has completely turned into white, will always produce two completely different ambivalences in him.

    ¡°I¡¯m glad¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªI can live one more day.

    Despair¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªIs tonight¡¯s sleep the last sleep in this world?  Tomorrow morning, will I still be able to stand in front of the mirror like I am now?

    Thinking of this, Crane couldn't help but raise his head and looked around at the relatives sitting on both sides of the dining table.  On each face, there are only flattering, hypocritical smiles, warmth that seems to be caring but is actually full of curses, and gazes full of coldness and sarcasm flowing out from the depths of the eyes.

    As for Heinrich, who had received his permission, he showed no expression at all.  He ate the little food left on his plate intently and silently, as if it was a task that must be completed carefully.

    These guys are all looking forward to their early death. Only in this way can they seize more power and benefits without any scruples.  What a filthy, ugly, disgusting bunch of flies.  .  .  .  .  .  But then again, when I was young decades ago, didn't I look at the previous patriarch with the same indifferent eyes, who was lying in the coffin and had long since turned into dung dust?

    Thinking of this, Crane couldn't help but shook his head and took a long breath.

    In a family, only power is the most critical factor that everyone can pay attention to.  The so-called family affection, friendship and harmony.  .  .  .  .  .  That's just a layer of skin that looks shiny on the outside.  If you tear it apart gently, it will immediately reveal a ferocious and cruel face, as well as cold fangs that will open and bite down when facing any relatives.

    ", what is your impression of that young lord?"

    Try to dispel the overwhelming thoughts in your brainWith angry and chaotic thoughts, Crane put down his knife and fork, picked up the dinner handkerchief at hand and wiped the corners of his mouth. He leaned forward and stared at Heinrich in the side seat with stern eyes.

    The restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

    Heinrich slowly chewed the bread that was still roughly in shape in his mouth. In order to speed up his eating, he picked up the wide-mouthed glass in front of him and took a sip of slightly cool water to let the dry food particles  After being soaked and softened, he quickly swallowed it down his throat. Then he turned around half-turn, thought for a moment, and said in a melodious and somewhat steady voice: "He is a rigorous thinking person with characteristics that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."  The wisdom of comparison. The ruling methods to control the territory and the people are very flexible, high-pressure, cruel, and tyrannical, but while using blood and violence, they will also make people feel rational, legal, and tender. This dual ruling method can  Effectively control the rebellious psychology of ordinary people. Make them accustomed to and agree with various harsh measures imposed on them without knowing it. He is not blindly tough and ignorant of flexibility. He collects benefits and will also disclose a considerable part of them to the public.  The form is fed back to the people, thereby gaining the support and loyalty of the general public. If I use a praise from ancient times - he is indeed a virtuous and wise king."

    "snort¡ª¡ª"

    Sitting at the lower right side of the dining table, a thin, middle-aged man in his early forties sneered and said, "Is a mere rebel leader worth the countless beautiful halos you use to add so many words of praise?"

    "He is very arrogant and very strong, but his thinking will not become impulsive with a few simple provocations. He is very calm and knows how to launch the most deadly attack on his opponent at the most critical moment. It feels  . Like a poisonous snake that hides in the dark, carefully looking for the opponent's weaknesses, and constantly spits out test messages."

    Heinrich didn't care at all about the man's attitude. He kept watching the changes in the expression on the face of the Chief of the Crean family who was sitting at the dining table. In this room, if anyone else who is qualified to have breakfast is "  "Buzzing" is a annoying fly, so Crane, who is sitting high on the top of the dining table, is a fly that looks cold on the outside, as if it has been petrified by magic. The body cannot move at all. His eyes are narrowed, his expression is kind, and he is taciturn.  , but can extend its tongue at any time and swallow the flies around it in one gulp.

    "A force that can annihilate tens of thousands of troops at once is no longer something that a loosely structured family alliance can deal with. Due to the Luton family's deliberate blockade, we don't know much about this emerging force from the wild south, and we don't even know their core area.  Where are they? At this time, it is unwise to rashly enmity with their enemies. The best way is to form an alliance with them."

    The last words were like a huge boulder being thrown heavily into the middle of a deep, silent pool, causing countless splashes of water to explode and causing ripples that spread rapidly from the inside out.

    The other family members sitting around the dining table were whispering to each other. Due to Crane's majesty, even though they were full of disdain for Heinrich's remarks, no one dared to refute it publicly on this occasion.  After all, everything about the Soaring Dragon Territory is too unfamiliar to the family alliance.  Therefore, the conversation has been suppressed to the extent that only both parties can hear it.

    As the patriarch, Crane did not express any opinions on Heinrich's views.  He dragged the cup of coffee at hand, picked up the silver spoon expressionlessly, scooped up a spoonful of sugar from the white porcelain sugar bowl, poured it into the coffee cup, and slowly stirred it.

    The non-committal behavior gave the family members who remained on the sidelines infinite courage.  A middle-aged woman wearing a light pink crepe dress sneered arrogantly: "They are just a rebel army. Don't forget, the history of the Ella Brock family can be traced back to the old times.  In ancient times, there can never be an equation between nobles and traitors. If there must be any peace, then they must hand over everything they took from the Luton family."

    "Aunt Chelsea, with all due respect, Sothebya no longer exists¡ª¡ª"

    Heinrich put his hands on the table casually, sat upright, and said seriously: "The wasteland is not an old world bound by a moral and legal framework. Compared with the absolute power, the so-called nobility and family history  It is not worth mentioning at all. The power displayed by the Soaring Dragon Leader must attract attention I am very aware of the importance you attach to the continuation of blood and family lineage, and I can fully understand the pride of belonging to the nobility. But we must understand -  ¡ª¡ªEven with the full mobilization of Ella Brock, it would be difficult or even impossible to annihilate all the family coalition forces in a short period of time. However, the Soaring Dragon Territory did it. We must treat it with a friendly and non-hostile attitude.  This new neighbor from the south¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    Chelsea¡¯s face was livid, she was notHe didn't understand the strength gap between the two sides, and just wanted to use his status as an elder to humiliate Heinrich.  However, judging from the current situation, it is exactly the opposite.

    Deathly silence returned to the room.  The eyes of the family members slowly focused on the patriarch Crane.  Each of them had an intense desire for power, but limited it in such a public setting.  therefore.  Although most people's eyes are full of fiery eyes, they still maintain absolute respect for the leader of the clan.

    "What is the main request made by Long Teng Ling?" Crane asked slowly as he took a sip of the sweet coffee.

    Heinrich turned sideways, took out two brand-new Longteng dollars with a denomination of ten yuan from his coat pocket, placed them on the table, and said: "He asked us to recognize the value of this new currency and at the same time abolish the circulation of the Sospian dollar.  .¡±

    "This is impossible¡ª¡ª"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a red face across the table suddenly jumped up and roared angrily: "We have a total of 60 million Sosbia dollars in reserve, and with just a few words, we want to take away what originally belongs to us.  No, I will never accept such arrogant and damning conditions¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª"

    Heinrich didn't care at all about the man's hostile attitude. He quietly listened to the other party's deafening roar. It wasn't until the shouts gradually calmed down that he responded calmly: "As I said just now, Soth  Biyahas completely ceased to exist¡ª¡ªIn addition, he has a lot of cards he can play. For example, blocking the trading routes from the south and cutting off the supply of salt. As far as I know, in the past, from Lu  The manufacturing source of the new motorcycles that have entered the market in the hands of the Dun family also comes from Hidden Moon City in the south."

    Every word is like a heavy hammer hitting the listener's fragile heart.  Although the members of the Ella Brock family compete for power with each other, they are not fat-headed idiots who have no understanding of the actual situation.  Heinrich's words have shown that many supplies exceed the limits of Ella Brauch's ability.  They must make difficult choices between vested interests and future development.

    Crane has not expressed his position. He seems to have been completely immersed in the rich aroma of coffee.  After nearly five minutes, he slowly raised his eyelids, turned the focus of his dark blue eyes to Heinrich, looked at him with extremely complicated eyes for a long time, and said word by word: "Go and meet that young and arrogant person."  Let¡¯s talk about it, kid. No matter whether the news you bring back is good or bad, the Ella Brock family will accept it all¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    In the square to the west of Ultra City, thousands of prisoners of war were divided by their families, arranged in square formations of different sizes in the open field.  Although it is not neat, it is still barely able to distinguish the most basic vertical and horizontal lines.

    More than a dozen armored trucks surrounded the square, and hundreds of Longteng Defense Forces with live ammunition surrounded them, pointing weapons of various calibers at these unarmed and dull-eyed surrenderers.

    Opposite the prisoner-of-war phalanx, about five meters away, stood dozens of thick wooden stakes that were directly buried in the soil.  A prisoner with a slumped face and a tired expression was tied to all the wooden stakes.

    Judging from the uniforms they wear, they all belong to different families in the Alliance Army.  Especially the three-pointed stars and horizontal bars on the shoulders and collars, which are much more conspicuous than ordinary soldiers, clearly indicate their distinguished status as officers.

    The scorching sun was shining directly from the top of the head, scorching the earth, and rising into an unbearable heat wave.

    Dozens of prisoners of war have already shown signs of dehydration and heat stroke. Their mouths are dry and their bare skin is cracked with cracks as dense as plant roots.  With a gentle swipe of your hand, the epidermis that has lost vitality in cell tissue is immediately wiped away, revealing fresher, pinker skin.  Sunlight full of strong ultraviolet rays shined directly on it, causing sharp pain like needle pricks. The damaged cortex quickly secreted drops of ** to cover the surface of the wound, but it was instantly evaporated by the blazing high temperature, leaving only  A disgusting fishy and rancid odor spread in the air.

    The sun makes people sleepy.

    The prisoners of war have been standing in the square for nearly two hours - their physical and psychological endurance has reached the limit.  They just relied on their body instincts and, controlled by the fear of death, mechanically and numbly kept standing.

    Finally, an unkempt and thin prisoner of war was unable to withstand the dual torment of the scorching sun and exhaustion. His eyes rolled up, revealing a palpitating pallor. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground limply.

    He is really tired and needs to rest.  Even lying on the hard gravel-covered ground for a short while is already an extremely enviable luxury.?

    "boom¡ª¡ª"

    The moment his knees made contact with the ground, the dull sound of gunfire violently tore apart the long-lasting silence over the square.  The bullet accurately hit the target from an upward direction and exploded the prisoner's head. The scattered blood and thick slurry were quickly absorbed by the hard soil, leaving only pieces of hardened dry solidification, and limbs lying on the ground.  A headless corpse that was constantly twitching and shaking.

    No one wants to close their eyelids or sway side to side anymore.  Living death happens right in front of one's eyes, which is more effective than any stimulant or mental recovery medicine.

    In the tall and spacious conference hall of the city lord's official residence, which was built with heavy raw stones, dozens of negotiators from various families sat on both sides of a long table covered with white linen.  As with the last seat arrangement, Heinrich still occupied the front seat and the seat closest to the head.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Lin Xiang, who was standing in front of the tall French window.

    He is wearing a dark black uniform with exquisite workmanship. The style is simple, but it is completely suitable for the unique rugged charm of men.  The only decoration is a round black dragon embroidered on the chest and bordered with golden silk thread.  The ferocious dragon's mouth is full of anger, as if it is ready to devour any opponent who dares to resist it at any time.

    Lin Xiang has his hands behind his back, and the profile of his handsome face outlined by graceful lines and his slender figure form a wonderful picture.  He half lowered his head, and his eyes covered with long eyelashes looked through the glass to the square below him.  It wasn't until the crisp sound of gunfire came from a distance, and the first deceased person appeared in the group of prisoners of war, that he opened his soft and gentle mouth slightly, and in a magnetic voice, he gave faint instructions to the guard standing beside him.
