Chapter 264: The Pressure of the Divine Palace
Land of Chaos, New Town.
It's only been a few months, but the new city has expanded to unimaginable proportions.
The first is the establishment of a new urban area, after the construction team has mastered the construction magic guide machinery, new residential buildings, factory buildings...... The cost and time of construction of all types of buildings have been reduced to the limit.
High-rise buildings rose from the ground, the city expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually the new city even bulldozed and rebuilt part of Wanlu City.
In the large area of Wanlu City and Lihuo City, countless mines, lumber yards, and magic factories have been built.
The ore is mined at an astonishing rate, and then passed through the assembly line at a rapid speed, turning into all sorts of magical machines.
The two main ores, iron ore and azurite, are clearly insufficient for the development of the new city...... Fortunately, the trade route ventured with the Federation solved this urgent need.
The Federation needs new magic devices and weapons, while the New City needs ore...... Both sides took what they needed, and the responsibility for protecting the trade routes was left to the various armed regiments in the new city, and in the course of the constant battle against the undead, these newly formed armies quickly absorbed experience.
Compared with the establishment of new urban areas and mining areas, the main reason for inhibiting the development of new urban areas is that people's perception is difficult to change.
The people of the land of chaos have gradually become numb under the long period of exploitation, oppression, and hard labor, which leads to their poor ability to accept new things...... Compared with the convenience brought by the magic guide technology, they are more afraid of the novelty, "hideous" appearance of the magic guide machine.
Rumbling iron bumps, behemoths beyond the imagination of this generation.
However, the "servility" of the people on this side of the Chaotic Land solves this problem to a certain extent - no matter how much they are afraid of the magic guide machine, the transcendent masters of the City Lord's Mansion order to let them come into contact, they dare not refuse.
As soon as Su Qiran came back, he found that the administrative system of Xincheng was gradually crooked, and if it continued like this, it would be nothing more than becoming the second reformed Xingzhu Empire.
But I want to change the thinking of a generation in a short period of time...... This is absolutely impossible, and it takes more time to gradually change people's mindsets.
And today's human beings, do they still have the time to complete the evolution of social mechanisms?
After Su Qiran returned from the Xingzhu Empire, he directly convened a meeting. After some discussion and exchange, Su Qiran directly began the retreat, leading all the magic guide technicians to complete the part of the magic guidance technique that the second sage had not completed.
For the previous Xincheng, the entire power system was divided into two factions.
One faction led by Mo Xiaoye and He Yue and the other faction led by Lin Jin. The number of members controlled by the two factions in the parliament is almost equal, but Mo Xiaoye's side is more dominant, after all, he is Su Qiran's designated successor.
Although Lin Jin's personality is very awkward, he is definitely not a person who can be trusted...... But there is no doubt that Lin Jin's ability, his ability to manage a force and develop a force is far stronger than Mo Xiaoye, so Su Qiran didn't bother to suppress him, and directly handed over the development of the entire new city to him.
Of course, Su Qiran still pushed Mo Xiaoye to the position of general general, allowing him to firmly control all the armed corps in Xincheng.
At this point, the turbulent situation in the new city has improved somewhat.
And Wang Ergou and Qin Han ...... Su Qiran threw them all to Mo Xiaoye, Wang Ergou's special ability, and Qin Han's terrifying strength were undoubtedly a great help.
Xia Ze was not interested in the development of the new city or anything at all, and she stayed in the vicinity of the new type for a few days before leaving alone.
At this time, Xincheng is like a huge machine, and everyone is a screw and a gear on this machine...... They worked day and night in their posts, and they also made the huge steel monster of Xincheng grow at an astonishing rate.
New Town, Council Chamber.
Lin Jin sat at the head of the long table of the council, and every member who came in would pay the highest degree of respect to the speaker.
Lin Jin looked around, his gaze sweeping over each councilor...... An indescribable sense of accomplishment overflowed from the chest.
He promoted one-third of the members of this council, and two-thirds of them could be said to obey his will.
Su Qiran has been back for almost half a year, and Lin Jin was still very worried when Su Qiran came back, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was gradually encroaching on the new city.
But what he didn't expect was that Su Qiran not only didn't want him to ask for the crime, but directly gave him the position of the top decision-maker.
This is equivalent to giving up to him the new city that he had worked so hard to build.
But later, Su Qiran pushed Mo Xiaoye to the position of general and firmly grasped the power of the army, so that Lin Jin was equivalent to just a bare-bones commander.
But Lin Jin is confident that he can gradually take away the military power from Mo Xiaoye in the next few decades, and then Xincheng will really belong to him.
"Speaker...... The Shrine has once again announced unfavorable news for us, and there is already a mine that has been attacked by the Shrine from the Fire City. The subordinate councilor's voice pulled Lin Jin's wandering thoughts back.
After hearing this, Lin Jin couldn't help frowning, although the future is promising, but it is also necessary for the emerging force of Xincheng to hold on until the day when he dominates......
At present, the pressure exerted by Xiao Mu Divine Palace is increasing, and they seem to be aware of the horror of the development speed and potential of the new city, and they are constantly trying to cause disputes.
"Don't care, don't know. Lin Jin frowned and said.
"Your Excellency...... The people from the shrine have already started to attack us, and if there is no response, there may be panic among the people. Some parliamentarians said helplessly.
"We are responding to them now, and if it weren't for the pact and the threat of the ancient dragons, they would have started a war long ago. Lin Jin rubbed his temples with a headache, "The longer the time drags on, the better the odds will be for our side, but I don't know how long the ancient dragon contract can intimidate them......"
And what made Lin Jin even more helpless was that Su Qiran pulled away all the magic guide technicians that his confidence had cultivated with great difficulty...... For a time, the supply of high-end magic devices in Xincheng stopped, and many industries, and even the operation of Xincheng, had a lot of problems.
And it's been almost half a year...... There was no news from Su Qiran's side. If it weren't for the fact that Su Qiran was still taking a lot of raw materials, processing parts, and energy storage crystals from the new city...... Lin Jin wondered if Su Qiran had run away with this group of magic guide technicians.
"General Mo. Lin Jin looked at Mo Xiaoye, who was sitting on the left-hand side, "Please also take care of the southern defense line, the fortress built on the basis of Lihuo City is about to be completed, and it will be our first line of defense." ”
"Yes. Mo Xiaoye's voice was a little low, he had changed a lot during this time, and even his appearance looked a little older.
"It is said that the Supreme Elder of Xiao Mu Divine Palace is in retreat to impact the pinnacle realm...... Once he succeeds, it will be the time for Xiao Mu Divine Palace to make a move against us. ”
The reason why Xia was able to suppress the entire Xiao Mu Divine Palace was that they did not dare to act rashly...... It was because of Xia's strong strength as a black dragon, and on the side of the human professionals, except for the powerhouses in the peak realm, others launched attacks on Xia...... He couldn't even break the defense, and Xia Yi's dragon breath could deal a devastating blow to the army of Xiao Mu Divine Palace.
And once the Supreme Elder of Xiao Mu Divine Palace entered the Final Rank Peak Realm...... Then there will be someone on the side of Xiao Mu Divine Palace who can contain Xia head-on, and then Xiao Mu Divine Palace can launch an attack wantonly.
