Chapter 257 Big Change
Chapter 257 Big Change
There was a lot of artillery fire.
The ninth fortress, the black prison.
Quan Dian helped the Speaker of the Parliament down the spiral staircase. In the prisons along the way, the criminals who were ready to make a move because of the chaos outside stopped moving and looked at the old man with fear and dread.
At the bottom of the dark cell, the dim lights were swaying slightly.
Mr. A finished his meal. He only took a bite of the tender wild beast steak. Even in the most brutal black prison, he could enjoy extraordinary treatment.
The jailer respectfully put away the tableware and took it away, then lowered his head and passed by the two silver-level warriors, looking at them coldly with his fist raised. Just as he was about to pull back to punch them, his fist was held down by the Speaker of the Parliament.
"Look at what you have done." The Speaker of the Council stood in front of the prison door, leaning on a cane. "You have been dormant for thirty years for a clean identity. You have worked your way up from an investigator to the head of the Security Bureau, but you are still not satisfied. Now even the Archon looks down on you."
Mr. A smiled gently and said, "Silver-level vampires live up to 500 years. Roughly speaking, I am still young. The Ninth Fortress cannot be defended. There is no need for you and me to argue about this. When I was contaminated by the First Army, you should have restricted my power."
The Speaker of the Council chuckled, "You've taken yourself hostage and kept it under my nose. You're full of sincerity, so of course you can do whatever you want."
Mr. A said seriously: "Without me, the Xidu troops will massacre the city. Without you, those three guys will not follow my lead. Of course, the most critical arbitrator is still me. Only I can coordinate and stabilize all parties."
Quan Dian tore the iron fence apart with a ferocious look on his face. This thing was just a decoration to Bai Yin. He roughly pulled Mr. A up, like a wild beast ready to go mad at any time, and said word by word with gritted teeth: "Do you think that it must be you?"
Mr. A showed no anger at all, and said calmly, "Of course, it has to be me. I will be the Speaker, and the Fortress Parliament will be reorganized. Any individual or organization with power will have the right to speak. The Executive Office, the Army Group, and the Council will be completely under the Parliament. This is the final form of the old man's centralization plan, and it also reflects the principle of parliamentary supremacy."
The Council President said with a smile: "The Supreme Council of Silver City and the royal family are already incompatible. As long as he abides by and implements the principle of parliamentary supremacy, the Supreme Council will not mind recognizing his status. Even the dark creatures think this principle is correct. How correct is that?"
Quan Dian turned around in disbelief, "Even if it means giving in to the dark creatures, you're willing to do that?"
The Speaker of the Council smiled helplessly, "The position is determined by the butt."
Mr. A broke free from the fist, straightened his collar, and said, "Since the old man is willing to come, it means that the decision has been made. Let the Xidu troops enter the fortress. The chaos should end. The citizens are innocent."
The jailer came back with a contract statement.
Under Quan Dian's astonished gaze, the Speaker of the Parliament signed and approved that the Ninth Chapter's Quan Army was equivalent to being completely wiped out, and he needed to bear primary responsibility.
……
12 month 26 day.
The Ninth Fortress Council issues a statement to the Alliance.
From today on, the fourth Speaker of Parliament will step down and be replaced by Viscount Mokawi as the new Speaker of Parliament. He will submit an application to join the Alliance and is willing to uphold the principle of parliamentary supremacy.
The news shocked the alliance.
The Supreme Council quickly approved the application for joining, and Silver City was plunged into bloodshed overnight. The faction advocating limited cooperation with dark creatures occupied the majority of seats in the Supreme Council, which caused widespread dissatisfaction. An important member of the royal family secretly launched an assassination and was sentenced to death by hanging after the incident was exposed.
The Sixth Fort in the South declared self-government.
The Second Fortress even decided to leave the alliance directly, and the Central Army Corps switched from supporting to attacking.
Amidst the violent turmoil, Xidu's troops advanced into the Ninth Fortress one after another, and the garrison corps retained its structure and gave up resistance.
The 12 million strong army was reorganized into the first to eighth corps. The sixteen districts in the fortress were reduced to eight, each of which was established as a military and political district, with the heads of the military and political districts serving as official councilors. In the early morning of December 31, Mr. A issued the first decree: with an absolutely resolute attitude, all the noble families were completely wiped out and all the industries in the fortress were brought under the control of the parliament.
……
thump, thump, thump!
The sound of tank tracks woke up the fort's early morning, and the last of the Xidu troops entered the fort.
The streets were in ruins, with abandoned cars still burning, corpses piled up in the corners, and the windows of shopping malls broken and all the goods looted.
Jiang He rode on a warhorse, with a crow standing on his shoulder and a little white snake peeking at his neck and shoulder. The fortress had undergone tremendous changes compared to when they left.
In the ruined floor covered with traces of gunpowder smoke, a young man threw a Molotov cocktail at the team below. The tank immediately adjusted its muzzle, and with a loud bang, the young man was blown to pieces.
"These damn rebels." The troll leader looked up and glanced.
The spider demon woman riding a horse not far away said with a smile: "Ever since the order from Makavi came, these noble families couldn't sit still and they all helped to resist the army. Fortunately, before we came, Makavi had cleared out the previous generation of family heads through the academy rebellion, otherwise the situation would be even more troublesome."
"The leader of the rebels is called Dawn." Councillor Black Wolf sneered, "Wait until I catch him and completely wipe out Dawn among this mob."
boom!
A bullet fired at someone from a shadowy corner.
Jiang He held the bullet with a strange look on his face, he never thought that he would end up being assassinated. The Dawn Tyrannosaurus has now left the team and is secretly leading the resistance. The sniper should be a member of the resistance, but he was born in a noble family.
"Catch him here." the troll leader ordered.
Dozens of trolls rushed into the mall and defeated the small force inside. The sniper and several important members were escorted back. The former was Tong Fei, the young master of the Tong family who had made a big splash in the academy competition.
At this time, Tong Fei no longer had the outstanding demeanor he once had. The werewolf cavalry broke into the Tong family's villa castle, killing and persecuting people wantonly. Tong Fei lost an eye in the battle.
"Don't kill my brother!"
The beautiful girl with a dusty face threw herself on Tong Fei's back and burst into tears. After the death of the child of destiny, Tong Xue lost her identity as the heroine on the stage of destiny. Her mind-reading ability did not improve her combat power much, and her weak physique was more like a burden.
"General Jiang, what do you think we should do?" the troll leader asked. Although the other party had no military power, his own combat power and his status as a confidant of the blood clan speaker were enough to have an equal dialogue with several of their silver-level strongmen.
Wuhe's eyes turned dark, and he whispered, "Boss, that teenage human female has the ability to read minds, which is very useful for ruling the fortress. I want to keep her for use."
Jiang He was surprised when he heard this. For a ruler, it is very convenient to easily know the thoughts and ideas of his subjects in an environment where everyone is a master of performance. However, to be precise, Wuhe seldom asked him for anything.
"The others are welcome to do whatever they want, leave the brother and sister to me."
The troll leader had no objection, but as a silver soldier, he didn't take the rebels seriously.
Several trolls beat important members to death with hammers. Tong Fei struggled frantically but was unable to escape the suppression of the trolls.
The two were escorted over, and Councillor Black Wolf reminded them, "Everyone, don't delay. This is the first high-level meeting of all the members tonight. Mokawi said that those who are absent will not have to attend in the future."
Jiang He lowered his eyelids slightly. Now that he was back in the fortress, if his rebellion was successful, then when the sun rose tomorrow, he would be able to complete the main task of being promoted to the Speaker of the Parliament in one go.
