Section 387 Epilogue 1
"It's your commission, check it out for yourself. ”
"Thank you, Master. The man who received the commission happily bent down and saluted, and then walked with a relaxed pace towards the temporary platform of the hovertrain. After going through so many things, the commission he gets can fully make up for the toil, difficulties and dangers along the way. Repairing a Floating Fortress is both technical and powerful, but running to a border place like this to repair a crashed Floating Fortress and putting it into battle is not only technical and powerful, but also risky.
But anyway, everything works fine. Just as the master had promised, the entire maintenance team came in a complete way, and now it is completely gone. Except for a few trivial injuries (which are always unavoidable) and a mid-course shock, nothing else. The whole can be said to be thrilling.
As a maintenance master, there are thousands of people in the hidden team, but only about half of the subordinates are really long-term. The other half were hired on temporary contracts. This is a very common thing, as Repair Masters, although their primary workplace is the Floating Fortress Foundry (or Temporary Repair Factory), they are also often commissioned to carry out field repairs for those Floating Fortresses that are damaged but cannot be transported to the rear for various reasons. Not every worker is willing to take the risk of leaving the comfort and safety (especially safe) of the rear to go to a frontier where birds don't poop to carry out the hard repair work. In addition, due to the lack of large-scale maintenance equipment, the manpower requirements for such work are more than a notch higher than normal. Therefore, each master will carry out a regular recruitment of personnel before carrying out this kind of work. Find a new group of people to join your team. Generally speaking, however, this kind of recruitment only takes a short time - it is important to know that while some people want a comfortable, safe and regular life more than making money, there are also many people who want to make more money despite the hardships and dangers.
Although it is not a complete commodity economic society, the concept of "money is not omnipotent, and no money is absolutely impossible" is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not to mention ordinary people, even if they are mysterious and powerful warlocks, they will still risk for a mercenary money.
According to custom, at this time, since the maintenance work of the floating fortress has basically ended, for those long-term fixed deployments, it is necessary to enter a short vacation. And those temporary workers, it's time to get paid and leave.
Draw a tick in your own terminal. This is the last worker who plans to leave in the near future. When it comes to money, he's not a demanding person. In fact, he has a good reputation in this regard.
On the side, a car with a horn shouted along the road to strengthen order and not crowd. This is indeed quite an important job, because the house registration point on the side is already busy. It wasn't too long since the city was abandoned and reclaimed, and Kecha Goat was known to have no interest in human architecture. He didn't even have time to destroy these abandoned towns. So at this moment all the buildings are still intact, even the same as when the owner left - just an extra layer of dust.
The crowd waved evidence of documents, audio recordings and videos, in an attempt to prove their ownership of the house. If it's just that the original owner of the house comes back to claim his house, it's fine, and there won't be any special disputes. But in previous wars, many people died for various reasons. They usually don't leave a will, and there are many tricks that can be done to inherit property without sufficient evidence. For a long time, there has been a habit in the government that for this kind of inheritance, which no one can provide strong evidence, on a first-come, first-served basis.
There was a lot of confusion! Hidden in his heart gave a conclusion. But this mess has nothing to do with him. This is not uncommon after a defensive battle that ends in victory. The Banshee's Gate was even more chaotic this time, because while the locals had suffered a lot on the whole, the mortality rate was not too high overall. In fact, very few people actually died because of the war, and hunger and disease were the main causes of death.
Several officials were busy with the registration work there. In addition, a small number of soldiers can be seen lazily patrolling. Although the whole is chaotic, there is an inexplicable peace of mind.
After all, the war is over.
For ordinary people, what they know is that the Moon Warlocks colluded with the mysterious exotic creature Kachagoat, and took advantage of the disintegration of time and space to attack the Banshee Gate. But the two sides soon got into a dirty fight over the distribution of loot and the like, and a bloody battle ensued. However, the Huiyue camp intends to sit on the sidelines and allow the territory to be occupied by the enemy. But just as heroes emerge in times of turmoil, a young local man rose to prominence in the midst of the chaos and took advantage of the enemy's battle to defeat Kechagoat and the Moon Warlock, suppressing or banishing them from the Banshee Gate. Then, of course, in the face of irrefutable facts, the Radiant Moon Warlocks finally admitted their previous mistakes and entrusted the Banshee Gate to the young hero.
It's a great story, and it's exactly what the locals want. So the story spread quickly.
Of course, there are also well-informed people. They knew better, so they knew that the Stygian Warlocks had been betrayed by Kecha Goat, and that the two sides had been fighting for a long time on the Banshee's Gate. It was a battle that was far greater than imagined in terms of scale and intensity. How ruthless and wise Kechagoat was, and he used it to cost the Stygian Sorcerers dearly. The price was so heavy that the ownership of the Banshee Gate itself was not worth mentioning. They were eager to kill Kecha Goat, but they didn't expect the Radiant Moon Warlocks to take advantage of it. Huiyue's side completely took advantage of the situation, and reached some kind of agreement with Kaicha Goyat without a single soldier, and the two sides stood on the same front. In the face of such a situation, the Stygian Warlocks could only retreat with hatred, not daring to continue to fall into this quagmire. And the so-called young hero, a guy named Lu Wu, it is true that he may be quite capable of fighting as a soldier and has achieved certain results. But at the end of the day, it's all because of the wisdom and foresight of the Radiant Moon Warlock, who inserted himself into this war from the perfect angle and in a way that reaped the greatest benefits. As for the Banshee Gate region itself, it fell into the hands of Lu Wu because it was not important at all. He's just one of those lucky guys who hit the head with a pie in the sky.
For those who are ill-informed, they don't really care who actually takes control of the region. Did you see the notice that the residents were allowed to return to their hometowns? Did you see that there were no temporary stops for the hovertrain? Okay, you saw it, that's enough. Is there more obvious evidence than this that the war is over?
However, it is only a superficial problem to stop in this place and dismiss those temporary workers. The real reason is because it is a traffic node. Or to put it another way, it is here that the connection with the rear is the quickest.
Despite this era, anyone with a modicum of status can get a terminal that enables many functions, including remote communication. But as a master repairer of a floating fortress and a member of an aristocratic family (though rarely publicly), he is completely upper-class in this society. So he knew that the terminal was nowhere near as reliable as it seemed. When it comes to some crucial things, you're better off relying on those primitive means of communication. It is important to know that primitive methods, while inefficient, are much safer.
He stood on a street corner in the small city, a town that could accommodate at least 50,000 inhabitants by the standards of the Banshee Gate natives, and gently stroked the emblem of the gods hidden in his arms. Although he was once skeptical of God, he has now become a true believer. But in any case, the news that the gods had informed him of before was still too unbelievable. It is necessary for him to send his most capable and trustworthy men to determine this.
The Radiant Moon Warlocks actually announced the pardon of the Dark Alliance Brotherhood for the first time - as long as they did not commit any violent actions in the future, then everything that the Dark Alliance Brotherhood had done before, including destroying social order, destroying local industries, and even killing the Radiant Moon Warlock, was all blamed in the past.
Of course, it may not be the kind of public announcement, but even if it is admitted in private, it is a completely unthinkable thing. What kind of organization is the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance? To put it bluntly, it is an organization of anti-warlocks. The purpose of their organization, which begins with a clear statement, is to oppose the rule of the magicians. Their slogan is to overthrow the sorcerers who are on high above. Yes, in the past, the Warlocks of any faction did not pay attention to them, but this was not because of any kindness they had towards them. Rather, it was because the members were too weak on the one hand, and they were humble and powerless compared to the warlocks. Dozens or hundreds of warlocks could easily destroy—not suppression, but literally extermination—the rebellion of tens of thousands of Dark Alliance Brotherhoods. On the other hand, their organization itself is too loose to withstand the blows of uprooting, and at the same time, they cannot mobilize huge forces to resist.
If the news itself is merely a ruse, it can be understood as a ruse to lure the snake out of the hole (it is not the first time in history that a related ruse has occurred), or simply a perfunctory compromise. Warlocks are not fools either, and when the situation calls for it, they will make temporary compromises. Of course, the counterattack after the fact is another story. But this time the situation was completely different, for the Radiant Moon Warlock was not only pardoning, but also—utterly incredible, unbelievable. Even the most optimistic members of the Brotherhood for the future will think they are daydreaming about some of the Brotherhood's ideas. Although the specific measures are debatable, the basic idea is certain, that is, to reduce the privileges of the warlocks, in other words, to improve the status of ordinary people.
Even if it is a person like Yin who thinks he is well-informed, even if the news comes from the true God who knows everything...... The news still made him incredulous. Just in case, he deliberately sent his henchmen to the back to inquire about the truth of the matter. You know, the slogan and the reality of some things are completely different things. Although the world does not have the shameless blatant fraud of the Chinese stock market of "suggesting that everyone hold PetroChina stocks", after all, the history of civilization is long enough, and similar things have not happened once or twice.
As a member of a noble family, he knew very well what the consequences of such a thing would be. It would not be an exaggeration to think that such a policy would lead to drastic changes in society as a whole. Can this kind of top-down reform be carried out in a real sense? Even he couldn't tell what kind of answer he was expecting.
In the distant sky, something that looked like a delicate little box passed through the sky, attracting the attention of some people. Anyone who understands understands that it is a floating fortress, the most powerful war machine in the world.
"Another one. "Yin also noticed. "Lu Wu, that guy...... Where did you get all that money?" he said to himself.
