Chapter 1150 Sudden Changes in the Situation
Although the proposal to establish a nation has been shelved, this idea has never disappeared from Sylvia's mind, and over the years she has been using various means to make up for the shortcomings of the New Bodo area under the control of the Dodd Group.
For example, for the problem of a single population, she forcibly implemented the relocation law in the New Bodo area, attracting local tribes in the Mozambique continent and refugees from other continental countries to settle here.
Although this approach has caused security problems to a certain extent, it has allowed the population and ethnic groups in the New Porto area to show diversity and hierarchy as Sylvia hoped, and they are no longer legal as they were originally. This will undoubtedly have a great effect on the subsequent development of the New Porto area.
Now the preferred place for people who immigrate to Mozambique from other continents is no longer the more powerful Megalica and other Mozambican kingdoms, but the New Porto area. This invisible prestige also affects the Dodd Group and Trade between the other two continents created a complementary effect.
Although politically and commercially, the layout of the Dodd Group has been very complete, but there is still a huge gap in the bottom-level combat power.
Because the New Bodo area is an area composed of immigrants, the people here are particularly sensitive to turmoil and disasters, and their sense of belonging to the local area is much weaker than that of the people of other kingdoms. Most people will definitely consider where to flee to at the first time, rather than sticking to the defense.
Under such a general environment, even if the defense forces in the New Porto area adjust their salaries to the highest in all countries in the Mozambique continent, and regard the sense of belonging and loyalty as the primary assessment items for selecting soldiers in the defense forces, it is still difficult to recruit satisfactory soldiers. Soldiers, so until now, both the Defense Force and the police gendarmerie system in the New Porta area are still in a state of understaffing.
Although the failed products of man-made superhumans, those super fighters whose physical strength is far superior to ordinary people can make up for this vacancy to a certain extent, but their number is too small. If they are weak, it is better to gather them together to form separate combat teams that specialize in tackling tough situations, which can better reflect their value.
Now the war fortress proposed by Leo can just make up for the shortcomings of the underlying combat power in the New Porto area. There is no need to build too many, only one is needed, then the New Porto area does not need to worry about replenishing combat power, and the road to building a country is natural. There is no hindrance.
Therefore, when Sylvia proposed the concept of a war fortress to Leo, she instinctively took out the nation-building plan that had been shelved for a long time in her heart, analyzed it, and confirmed that it was indeed feasible, before she brought it up to everyone, and Worried that Leo didn't understand the situation, he explained it in great detail.
"Whether it is the surrounding countries, or the Church of the True God, the Shaman Church and other forces, it is impossible for them to do nothing. Seeing that we have built the war fortress, they will definitely try their best to destroy it, and even launch a full-scale war." Su After all, she has been in the special department of America and California for a long time, and she is very familiar with the situation of the countries in the Mozambique continent, so she is not very optimistic, but more worried.
Sylvia also quickly recovered from the excitement of founding a nation, and after calmly thinking for a moment, she turned to Leo and asked, "Does it take a long time to build a war fortress?"
"Look at the size of the war fortress." Leo thought for a while, and said: "With the current industrial level of Velen Continent, even the smallest war fortress will take two or three years to build. , unless the industrial level reaches a very high level and can completely replace manpower with machinery, otherwise, it will be difficult to build it in this world."
Emily, who is very keen on establishing a nation in the New Porto area, saw new problems appearing again, so she couldn't help but question: "Since it is so difficult to build, why can the town on the lake you mentioned be built?"
"The war fortress in Lake Town has been built for many years. It was a small war fortress at first, and then gradually expanded outwards, and finally it was built the size of a small city." Leo didn't care about Emily's doubts, but patiently He explained: "In addition, the world where Hushang Town is located is completely different from our world. The power that a part can generate after it works far exceeds the power that a mechanical device can generate in this world, so it is more difficult to build. We are much smaller here." He said, looking at Sylvia, and said: "In addition, the financial resources required for the construction of the war fortress are very huge, and it is difficult to support it with the new Bodo area alone. If you want to make up for the nation-building plan It is better to start from other aspects.”
Sylvia seemed to understand what Leo meant, and said, "Are you talking about a super soldier?"
"Not exactly." Leo shook his head and said, "I'm talking about steam mechanical armor that ordinary people can wear."
"Ordinary people wear it? Is it possible?" Su couldn't help but questioned before Sylvia could speak.
Back then, Su had personally seen the horrors of ordinary experimenters wearing the steam mechanical armor made by the Dodd Group. Let alone ordinary people, even transformed super soldiers couldn't wear that kind of armor for a long time.
"How will you know if you don't try." Leo didn't speak very full, and after giving a vague response, he turned to Sylvia and said, "Can you arrange a quiet place for me? I Some experimentation is needed."
Sylvia thought for a while and said, "We still have a secret property in the city. It is located near the former quarry, which is considered to be the edge of Adoline's city defense. It is not particularly safe, so there are no people there. You can go over there and use it for the time being, and you can move it over after I finish sorting out the factory here."
Leo inquired about the specific location there, confirmed that if something happened here, he could still arrive in time, and agreed to Sylvia's arrangement.
Because now Leo is mainly doing the simplified design of the steam mechanical armor, so there is no need to conduct too many experiments, most of the design schemes can be calculated and analyzed in the mind, and only need to add some alchemy tools to complete the production of the industry. Transformed, moved there, and started his research on steam mechanical armor, artificial superhumans and other projects.
Just after Leo moved to the old quarry, Sylvia also started to close the net and began to officially attack those black hands who secretly targeted the Dodd Group.
That night, more than 30 Audorain's dignitaries and power leaders were assassinated, and none of them escaped. Moreover, accidents of varying degrees occurred in more than a dozen factories in the city, and these accidents without exception led to the destruction of factory equipment. The core device was damaged, and the factory had to be shut down.
This round of sudden blows directly stunned everyone, and they didn't know what to do for a while. They knew very well that the person who did these things was Sylvia, because all the people who were assassinated were from all parties involved in this attack. The representatives of the forces pushed to the front of the stage to confront the Dodd Group, and those factories are also industries controlled by the various forces against the Dodd Group.
They, the local political and business forces of Odoline who are anti-Dodd Group, have used various means to attack the Dodd Group recently. Maybe they feel that they have a chance to win, and they think that they can suppress the Dodd Group and get the benefits they want, so they don’t To cover up their means and activities, just wait for the Dodd Group to take the initiative to contact them for peace talks.
However, what they never expected was that the Dodd Group, or Sylvia's reaction would be so rude and direct. It was like a strong warrior with a knife and an ax broke into a group of thin scholars. Still thinking about having a debate with the other party, but the other party hacked directly with a knife and axe.
The most chilling thing for the top leaders of these forces is that those assassinated colleagues are not without protection. In fact, every assassinated person has a certain number of mercenaries, and some of them are well-known in the underground forces. There are even a few of them who are extraordinary themselves, and wear strange things that contain powerful power.
However, these protective measures did not play any role in the face of this round of assassinations. None of the mercenaries found that their protectors had been assassinated, and all the protective items worn by those assassinated were not destroyed. Excited, and everyone died quietly, as if they were asleep, without even a wound on their bodies.
Seeing the calm and peaceful appearance of the dead, all the parties felt a chill in their hearts, because they found that they didn't seem to be safe at all. The other party could kill their colleagues silently, and they could also kill their colleagues silently. them.
Faced with this situation, these high-ranking political and business dignitaries in the past could not think of any solution. The mercenaries they recruited with a lot of money have proved their incompetence in this round of assassinations. When Via's first witch group, their so-called protective measures were useless.
When faced with threats to their lives, none of these people had the heart to think about how to deal with the factories that had accidents, and for them, how to save their lives in the next round of assassinations.
Some people think of peace talks with Sylvia. After all, if Sylvia kills them all, then the city of Aodorine may be in chaos, and the city defense army and gendarmerie police will also lose control. Another wave of attacks from the lurking monsters would destroy the city of Aodorine, and Sylvia should not be willing to see such a thing happen.
However, these people who wanted peace talks were unable to find the person they wanted to talk to. They asked the director of the Dodd Group who was in charge of cleaning up the ruins of the factory, and they all got the same answer. Sylvia was dealing with the issue of compensation for the victims. Time to meet them.
When they couldn't find a chance for peace talks, they had to turn to other forces in Audorin City that have a large number of superhumans, such as the churches of the true gods, the underground black market, the shaman church, and other forces. One is to seek protection, and the other is to hope Use the influence of these forces to force Sylvia to come out for peace talks.
However, both the Church of the True God and the Shamanism are only willing to provide protection for these people, but they are unwilling to further intervene in this matter. The underground black market directly rejects these so-called distinguished guests. Will express willingness to side with these people.
It's just that these people are well aware of the accident in the Dodd Group's factory, and the Mulling Society must have played a disgraceful role in it. After all, when the site was selected back then, the cursed land was provided by the Muling Society. If they really If you mix with Mu Ling, then the chance of making peace with Sylvia will be even slimmer.
For this reason, these people can only gather together to keep warm, gather all the people they employ to increase the power of protection, and they are all gathered in one place to be protected together.
Although it is possible that Sylvia will catch them all in one go, compared to defeating them individually, this method of concentrating protection forces is obviously more useful. The absence of assassinations in the next few days seems to prove this point.
It's just that these Audoryn's dignitaries are not happy because they are all aware of the powerful strength they think, and they are as fragile as paper in front of Sylvia's extraordinary power. Now they are not so much waiting The opportunity to fight back is rather to wait for Sylvia's decision on their disposal.
Although they are very clear that neither the Shaman Church nor the Church of True God can see them, the political and business dignitaries, surrender to Sylvia and let Sylvia control Aodorine, they will definitely stand up for them at critical times Sylvia's attack, but they are also more aware that no matter what the final result is, their power cannot go back to the past, and they can only become vassals of those powerful extraordinary forces.
This also made them wonder why they were so confused before, thinking that the factory accident would make the Dodd Group and Sylvia bow their heads, and this suspicion also made them discover some hidden things while checking themselves. clues, and realized that they seemed to be induced to be involved in this vortex, and the black hands who secretly induced them seemed to be the extraordinary forces they had nowhere to turn to this time.
Only at this moment did they realize that the Dodd Group was not the prey, they were.
At the same time, just when these Aodoreen dignitaries were awakening to their situation, Su, as Sylvia's representative, directly appeared on the square where the anti-Dodd group was gathering, and announced the Dodd group's move in the factory area. The reconstruction plan, and also announced the compensation for the victims of the accident, and the huge amount of compensation exceeded the expectations of everyone present.
But this is not the most eye-catching thing. What really made the whole city of Aldoline boil, and even the whole Mosang continent and the world of Velen, was the man-made super soldier plan announced by Su. This plan can be summed up in one sentence. Ordinary people can also have powerful power comparable to extraordinary people.
Originally, just talking about it wouldn't cause any big shocks, but Su took out a potion, and selected a thin old beggar on the spot, and then injected the potion into his body, and the old beggar died in front of everyone. Visibly becoming stronger to the naked eye, the strength displayed even surpassed that of ordinary fighters who have been trained for many years.
