Marani City, a villa on the outskirts of the mountain.
The sudden arrival of a message makes the owner of the villa lose his peaceful life.
Rox, President of the Huihang chamber of Commerce, is also a mentor of the Bentley rebellion.
Dual identity, let this businessman no longer ordinary.
In the quiet study, an old man is communicating with Rox.
"Master! Lord olino said that the first regiment has started to attack Marani city soon. Lord olino is worried about the master's safety and wants him to leave Marani city and take refuge in the front ridge city. "
take refuge?
Lockes, who was sitting behind his desk, shook his head and said, "steward lux, I can't leave here. Although I am the instructor of the resistance, I am also the president of the Huihang chamber of Commerce. All the capital of the chamber of commerce is in Marani city. Once I leave, it is equivalent to giving up everything. In the future, the capital of the chamber of commerce is the capital for the resistance to obtain rights, I want to keep this capital, not only for me, but also for Bentley, but also for the rebels. "
Rox's words made lux understand that it was hopeless to change the master's mind.
Lux had to give up.
In that old face, in addition to worry, lux said: "since the master intends to stay, he should be fully prepared. Once the battle of the first regiment against Marani starts, the guns will be merciless. Although the master is the instructor of the resistance, it can't guarantee his safety."
With a slight nod, Rox said, "I know this well. I'll go back to orino and thank him for his concern. But I can't leave. Let him do his own business. Don't worry about me."
"I'm going now!"
Turning around, Lux's old figure turned away and left the study with a light step.
After the old housekeeper left, Rox behind the desk was lost in thought.
More than a month ago, the first Legion stopped invading, which made Bentley fall into a short truce.
The reason for the truce, Lockes never thought that the first Legion to give the rebels a little time to act.
As the president of Huixing chamber of Commerce, Lockes knows something about his military connections.
Some time ago, in the military of Bentley, there was a rumor that the "hero Association" would intervene in the Bentley war.
He never doubted the truth of it.
Because a month ago, there was a "floating ship" of the hero Association in Marani city.
The heroes Association will not come to Bentley for no reason, let alone stay in Marani for a few days.
All signs show that it is possible for the hero association to intervene in the war.
In this way, the "invasion" of the first Legion will be suspended for no reason.
Although Lockes did not know the specific reason, he also guessed that it must have something to do with the "hero Association".
A month later, the first Legion started again. What's the reason?
Obviously, the threat from the outside has disappeared.
Lockes is not sure whether it is so, because conjecture is always conjecture and can never come to a conclusion before the result appears.
His eyes moved, and Rox looked at the plane on the table.
After a moment of hesitation, finally, Rox picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After a brief beep.
On the phone, a voice rang out.
"Rox?"
The voice is a little hoarse, I don't know whether it's the signal or my own reason.
With a slightly positive look, Rox said, "yes, it's me."
"What's the matter?"
After taking a deep breath, Lockes said, "the military should know about the first army's" operation "again?"
"Yes, we have our eyeliner in Amway city. Just yesterday, the army of a scale of more than 10000 people started from Amway City, and did not know where to go. This is unexpected. After all, Bingli has lost foreign aid, and the first army has no scruples."
"Foreign aid?"
Rox was puzzled.
The caller explained: "it's the heroes' Association. A month ago, the heroes' Association suddenly sent envoys to Bentley to intervene in the war and help Bentley expel foreign enemies. But just a few days ago, the heroes' Association suddenly changed its mind and said it was Bentley's own business. They were not good to participate in it and cancelled all military operations."
I see
Rox knew a little.
I don't know what the first Legion did, but the hero Association canceled the plan to intervene.
A little silence, Rox asked: "the first army is about to come down, what's your plan?"
Instead of answering immediately, the caller asked, "Rox! Do you think we have a chance of winning in this war? "
What's the odds?
Can we still use the word "odds"?
As for this issue, Lockes did not think about it. He simply said: "no, there is no chance of winning. Even if there is no betrayal of the" rebel army ", even if all the troops of Bentley can not resist the first Legion. There is a huge gap between Bentley and the first Legion. Any struggle will only bring more deaths."
For Rox's words, the person on the phone was silent.
After a while, he said: "you are right. For a long time, the high-level officials of Bentley have realized the gap with the first legion, but they will not compromise. In their view, the high wall will protect their safety. As long as they stay behind the wall, the first Legion will be powerless."
incapable of action?
"My Lord! Do you believe that? "
Rose asked.
"I don't believe it."
The words are simple.
He continued: "the high wall is used to deal with the pollution animals. For human beings, there are so many ways to break the wall. How can we stop the army of the first Legion? The high-level officials are not unaware of this, but they will not compromise if they do not leave the last drop of blood of Bentley. "
Yes! It's a dream to reach the first army's attack with the high wall.
How can those high-level people not know this.
"Rox! I have one thing for you to do
For the request of the person on the phone, Lockes said without hesitation: "you say, can do, I will not refuse."
