Chapter 1233 Switch to Audorin
"Don't think about it. Although we have some differences with the headquarters, the headquarters will not use this method to deal with us. If we are killed by these monsters, it will not be a good thing for the Autonomous Alliance." Crowe Mayor Desa clapped his hands at this time, pulling everyone back from doubt, and explained.
"Yes, yes! No, they won't do that." Other lucky people also echoed.
Someone immediately gave another suggestion: "Whether it was done on purpose or not, we need to ask the headquarters and surrounding towns for help now."
This suggestion was very pertinent, and it immediately brought everyone in the council back to reality from doubt, frustration, fear, etc., and began to step by step to defend against the group of mutant monsters.
The first is to increase the recruitment of the city defense army. From the original young and middle-aged people, it has been changed to all citizens. Anyone who can lift things must become a reserve. Although some people cannot directly go to the front line, they can Deliver various supplies to the frontline fighters.
Although someone once proposed to send away the old, weak, women and children in the city first, and go to nearby towns to take shelter, but this proposal was quickly rejected.
Because the nearest town to Clodessa also takes a day and a half, which is still the time required to take a carriage. If it is on foot, the time will probably be doubled. It is impossible to avoid the advance of the wave of mutant monsters for such a long time.
Moreover, there is a large area on this road that is primeval forest, which inhabits a large number of ferocious beasts, and the probability of mutant monsters appearing there is very high. Once encountering the attack of mutant monsters, those old and weak women and children have no way to resist. But if someone escorts them, then the defense here will inevitably weaken.
Therefore, instead of letting these old and weak women and children risk leaving while reducing the combat effectiveness of the city defense, it is better to keep these people and do their part for the city defense.
But then the troublesome problem came again. After a quick review of the military supply documents submitted by the city defense army, a member of the logistics department immediately said: "Not enough, the weapons in the warehouse are not enough to equip all the city defense troops. "
"I remember that a few years ago, a batch of old equipment was eliminated and put in the warehouse..." Someone said immediately.
"Those old warehouses have already been sold." The logistician replied immediately, "The money from the sale was also used to build the city square."
"Damn the square!" Many congressmen present couldn't help cursing in their hearts.
"I remember that there are still a few steam rolling machines available in the old factory, and there are still some unused plates in the warehouse. You can use those materials to make some armor and weapons." Another member suggested .
The logistics member immediately replied: "Yes, but I'm afraid that kind of armor and weapons..."
As the matter of defending against the tide of mutant monsters was gradually discussed, everyone realized that it was very unrealistic to rely on the town of Clodessa alone to defend against the tide of mutant monsters. According to their estimates, they could at most survive the attack of the tide of mutant monsters. Less than half a day.
This also caused many congressmen to start looking for a way out for themselves when making pre-war arrangements.
"Why don't we ask Aodoline for help?" At this moment, someone suddenly suggested.
The meeting hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the proposer. This proposer was the director of the city caravan and the richest businessman in the city. Although he seldom spoke in the council, his influence But it's not low at all, so his words will soon get everyone's attention.
After the congressman made a suggestion, everyone couldn't help thinking along the suggestion.
If it was at other times, this proposal would not have attracted anyone's attention at all, and naturally no one would consider the feasibility, but now everyone thinks that this proposal may be their last one. Life-saving straw.
Although Odoline and Clodesa are only separated by a long and narrow mountain range, the straight-line distance can only take half a day to reach at most, but because of the dangerous Tebas Mountain in the middle and the Tebas, which is like a high wall into the clouds, The barrier of the Sri Lanka ridge makes the connection between the two almost cut off. It is not possible for ordinary people to climb to the other side, and because the towering mountains and steep slopes are extremely difficult to climb and walk, it is difficult to climb the mountain. The time is also extended several times.
It may take less than ten days to circumvent Mount Tebas and enter the Aodorine area, but it may take only 20 or 30 days to cross Mount Tebas to reach the other side. The time spent by adventurers, if ordinary people come to cross, this number may be multiplied several times.
It is precisely because of such a natural danger that Claudessa is not worried about being invaded by Aodorine, whether it was in the past period of the Paneer Kingdom or the current period of the City-State Autonomous Alliance.
However, this situation changed not long ago, because the Tebas ridge, which blocked both sides like a high wall, collapsed a crack, which extended from the top of the mountain to the gentle terrain on the mountainside. The gap is very narrow and feels like an inconspicuous gap, but if you look closely, you will find that the gap is very wide, wide enough to parallel at least five steam trains.
Before Clodessa, or the city-state autonomous alliance could react, Odorin's garrison had already passed through the crack and came to the Sackett Plain, and they were moving at an unimaginable speed. A huge castle was built in two days.
When Clodessa received the news, the castle had already been completely completed. The people they sent to the castle were chased away by the Aodorine garrison before they could approach the castle, and they had no chance to check the castle. The internal situation can only be judged from the size of the outer wall of the castle. The interior of the castle can accommodate at least 5,000 troops.
Afterwards, the news was passed on to the headquarters of the Autonomous Alliance. So far, Clodessa has not received the relevant handling methods and the officials of the Alliance Headquarters to deal with this matter, but only received the latest meeting of the Alliance Headquarters Restructuring proposal.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps the decision to restructure the Autonomous Alliance has something to do with the sudden appearance of this crack in the ridge and the army stationed by Audrey on the crack. The two border defense lines have also lost their effect, and the entire central part of the Sackett Plain has become an undefended area. It does not require too many people, only 10,000 troops proficient in siege warfare are needed to enter directly. Then Audoryn The garrison can easily break through the big cities in the center of the autonomous alliance.
It's not that the high-level leaders of the Autonomous Alliance don't trust their own strength, but that Aodorin, a major industrial city, has weapons, financial resources, and troops that are far from what the Autonomous Alliance can match. Doreen can only keep Adorene in a state of autonomy, which shows how strong Adorene's military power is.
Therefore, the Autonomous Alliance now urgently needs to unite all forces, end this loose city-state alliance, and train a sufficiently strong military force in a short period of time.
Although he did not receive any further instructions from the alliance headquarters, Clodesa still sent some people to check the situation of the castle, and also found that the alliance patrol team that only belonged to the headquarters was also secretly observing.
From the observed results, we can know that there are actually troops stationed in the castle, and they all have excellent equipment. According to the spies, even an ordinary logistics soldier in the castle is equipped with equipment produced by the Dodd Group. The mechanical crossbow looks like it is going to do something on the Dosakt Plain.
If it was before the group of mutated monsters appeared, the city councilors of Clodesa might be discussing how to resist Adoline's invasion in the conference hall, but now they are more concerned about how to get Aodorine's Support, because as long as the army in that castle cooperates properly, it is not difficult to dispel an attack by a group of mutated monsters. Now all the councilors here need to consider is what price to pay, and there is not much time left for them to consider up.
"Why don't we join Adoline?" Someone suggested immediately: "Since the Autonomous Alliance can't help us, we should quit the alliance and join Aodorine, just like what we did back then."
Someone said worriedly: "But if you join Audorin, you will definitely encounter opposition from the Autonomous Alliance, and they will definitely send troops. What will we do then?"
Although worried about the reaction of the Self-Governing Alliance, this person has no objection to joining Adoline. Obviously, they have already considered it when they were contemplating just now. After all, only Adoline's army can save them now. Well, as long as they can survive this wave of mutated monsters, they will be willing to pay any price, even if it is to change their families.
"As long as we have Adoline's support, why should we worry about the army of the Autonomous Alliance? We can directly obtain more, more powerful and sophisticated weapons from Aodorine, and we don't need to worry about the army of the Autonomous Alliance at all." Someone began to think about the problem from the standpoint of joining Audorin, and this person was none other than the young councilor who questioned the restructuring before.
Seeing this young councilor had already expressed his attitude, other councilors who shared the same philosophy as this youth hospital and had a good relationship also stood up to echo him.
The mayor saw that the members of the House of Representatives tended to agree, so he began to think about the problem according to this idea, and said: "The question is what does Adoline think? It's just that it's not enough for us to decide to join Adoline, we also need Adoline's idea?"
"I might be able to help." At this time, the old congressman who was also in charge of logistics said, "I can contact people from the Dodd Group."
"Contact people from the Dodd Group?" Many congressmen in the room looked at a loss. They were talking about joining Audorin in exchange for Audorin's army to support Clodessa, but now they suddenly changed to say Contacting the Dodd Group, this makes people completely confused about what the other party means. Many people think that the other party is old and confused. Otherwise, how could they get involved with the Dodd Group that has nothing to do with Audoryn?
However, after hearing the words of the old councilor, some of them showed thoughtful expressions and nodded slightly, including the mayor.
When the mayor of Clodesa was still in a daze in the conference hall, he told the old congressman: "Since this will trouble you, please contact the Dodd Group immediately to get support as soon as possible." .”
After hearing this, the old councilor walked out of the conference hall under the suspicious eyes of everyone, boarded the carriage waiting outside, and drove towards a certain place in the city.
"It seems that this old guy has already made a choice." After the old councilor left, the mayor whispered to the people around him, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
At this time, some people in the conference hall who knew the actual situation of Audorin began to explain the decision just now to others, and the faces of those who heard the explanation also showed a look of sudden understanding, and at the same time, some people who were sensitive to the current situation were more I thought something big might happen.
For some insiders, although the current Adoline still belongs to the Kingdom of America in name, and the managers of Adoline are still the city council and the city government, in fact, the people who actually control Adoline have become many. Germany Group.
No one knows exactly what happened, but they know that almost overnight, the Dodd Group, which was originally rejected and resisted by the Audorin City Council and the city government, became the actual controller of Audorin, and those who opposed Dodd All the Audoryn dignitaries of the group were sent to prison for various unmistakable criminal cases, most of their properties were confiscated, and all their original positions were replaced by people who were pro-Dodd group, and even some positions, For example, the commander of the garrison is directly served by someone from the Dodd Group.
Dodd Group has done all this without any cover at all, and it is completely displayed in front of everyone who pays attention to these things, as if telling everyone, I have controlled Audorin so simply and directly, what can you do? ?
Many people think that even if the Kingdom of America cannot respond to the Dodd Group's actions in a timely manner, the church and shamanism that occupy Audoryn's power should do something.
But the actual situation surprised everyone. The two powerful forces didn't seem to see what the Dodd Group was doing. They didn't react at all, as if they had tacitly accepted the Dodd Group's notice to Audoryn.
Naturally, someone will look for the reason for this weird situation, and those who understand the underground world or the extraordinary world will unanimously place the reason on the two actual controllers of the Dodd Group, one is the number one witch Sylvie Ya Belmont, and the other is Leo Dodd, the tower wizard.
Although it is not clear how the two of them made the Church of True God and the Shaman Church turn a blind eye to their actions, it can be guessed that all this is probably related to their strength, that is to say, they have the strength to suppress the Church of True God and the Shaman Church. Everything is dissatisfied.
