Chapter 228 Pre-Clearance
The heavy and terrifying steel fell to the ground. The clumsy steel structure twisted its body and placed the steel pad installed to reduce the pressure of the body on the ground on the ground. A dull sound like a bell rang out, and a wisp of white gas spewed out from its tail and back and dissipated in the air.
"Boom."
There were a total of eight improved steam spiders. Through the additional armor, you could vaguely see the flickering patterns inside them, and there were faint purple light flashing from time to time.
The musketeers in the territory have all changed their stationing to the Sky Island Outpost.
Only the guards and the temporarily recruited militia stationed in the territory have only received the most basic riot control training. They can use wooden long sticks, and wooden long sticks with steel forks installed. A few guards have received training in using muskets.
These steam spiders have not yet been sent to the outpost through the expedition site.
Ji Lin meant that the first batch must be assembled into ten platoons before being sent there, so these things have been stored in the academy. At the same time, they were tested in a small amount to check if there were any design problems left.
Then the manufacturing process of subsequent models was improved.
Now these relatively flexible walkers are used in the territory first.
"Disarm and accept inspection."
Ji Lin looked at these relatively flexible six-legged walkers and clearly and briefly stated his requirements to these uninvited guests.
As he said, to deal with special problems, people who can deal with special problems are needed - or things that can deal with special problems. If this situation increases, he must consider whether to let the place where the foreign population is managed be stationed with such automated structures.
"You have actually caused obstruction and harm to the personnel who are working normally in the territory... The last warning, disarm and accept inspection."
Even when the other party attacked the staff of the territory first, he still maintained the greatest degree of restraint.
The steam spiders lined up in a row are his confidence.
The only unstable factor is the caster/caster in the distance. Ji Lin is not very worried. The relative quality of the population sent by the system is the same as or lower than the current civilization era. The best way to judge an era is also the simplest and most direct way. The amount of resources/energy that this society can use in its environment.
Ji Lin asked Jeanne, who was standing beside him, softly.
"How is his fighting ability?"
Jeanne tilted her head, looked at the man in blue in the distance, constructed a battle scene, and then said her own conclusion.
"Close combat, ten seconds."
Ji Lin nodded, that wouldn't be too difficult.
The sword-wielding soldiers in the distance were still unmoved by Ji Lin's words of persuasion, and they also lined up in several rows to form a square formation to resist the impact. Two blue-shirted men and women who were similar to him got off the vehicle and took a posture of attacking, as if they were determined to resist to the end.
In order to force Ji Lin to make concessions on the rules to these outsiders - to use a more elegant word, to recruit them.
Their goal is extremely pure, they want to get a position that belongs to them in this territory. They want to exercise their privileges here, and even want to enter the management level.
At the same time, they can't stand the complicated rules of this territory, and want to enjoy the fruits of their labor as soon as they arrive.
In the communication before the arrival of the steam spider, Ji Lin had roughly figured out their purpose.
His direct centralized management model has no benefits but only harms. Although the territory has a demand for new cultivation paths. It is good to have it, but it will not cause any losses if it does not exist. He also has the divine arts given to him by the commandments and laws to reverse research.
Ji Lin has no hobby of playing tricks, and he does not have the energy and ability to do so. It is precisely because he does not want to think about such a troublesome thing that he chose to be a frontline commander. As long as the indicators are completed, promotion can be achieved, and the best performers will be selected, and everyone will be re-educated to synchronize their thoughts with the territory as much as possible.
Outsiders can enter the territory as special talents and wander outside the political framework of the territory. This group of outsider monks has touched the core issue of the territory's management, and he will not make any concessions in this regard.
All power must be concentrated in the hands of the central government, and no compromise will be made with the aristocratic families.
"Xu Shan."
Ji Lin expressionlessly asked Xu Shan to come to his side and gave instructions.
"Remove the safety restrictions on the steam spider."

"Eight iron mechanical beasts, the defense capabilities of this place are stronger than I thought. Ha, is this the professional he mentioned? A mechanical driver?"
The largest monk snorted coldly, as if reprimanding the local lord for being too rude.
"If he has no intention of killing us, he will definitely only send one or two mechanical beasts to test our abilities."
The most elegant of the three monks shook the folding fan in his hand.
"At that time, we only need to repel the mechanical beasts and let the lord see our abilities, and then we can naturally have the next round of negotiations with him."
"That's right."
The other two smiled and nodded, nodding with satisfaction after hearing the explanation.
"It's the third brother, you are too radical, but I don't think he will conflict with us for a small guard."
Fifty warriors were in full formation in front of the truck array, holding their swords and shields in front of them, looking at the spider-shaped mechanical beasts that stood up in the distance with some panic in their hearts.
Three monks and fifty armored warriors are a force that cannot be underestimated no matter where they are. The local lords will try to recruit them into their territories, but they came to the wrong place.
