Intelligence was obtained, and there was a more important problem to be solved. That is, how to expand the size of the resistance and strike at the occupation forces from the ground up.

On this issue, Chu Tianjiang thought very thoroughly.

It is impossible to defeat the occupying army by relying solely on this resistance army, which numbered less than 200 fighters, and there are only two solutions. The first is to unite the resistance forces in other regions, so that all resistance fighters are transformed and modulated. The second is to find ways to use the common people who have already accepted the modulation, such as transforming them, so that they can still have a completely independent personality after transformation.

For the former, Chu Tianjiang didn't have much hope.

According to Hawke, there are many resistance forces on the northern continent, more than a dozen in the eastern region alone, and almost every city has a resistance army nearby. Together, there were about 3,000 resistance fighters, more than the occupying forces in any city. With this force, it is enough to capture any city, wipe out the occupying forces, and give the resistance a stronger base.

It's just that there are a lot of problems here.

First of all, how to unite all the resistances?

Although Chu Tianjiang has established a leadership position in Hawke's resistance army, not all resistance forces, not all leaders of the resistance army are like Hawke, and they willingly accept Chu Tianjiang's leadership. What's more, those resistance troops don't know Chu Tianjiang's strength, and they are not even very familiar with Hawke, so why would they believe in Chu Tianjiang and Hawke and join their resistance?

Secondly, does it make sense to occupy cities?

Although there were not many occupying troops in each city, in the case of Rising Sun, there were only about 2,000 people, but almost all the inhabitants of the city accepted the modulation. As long as war breaks out, the occupying forces are ready to use these people to become accomplices of the occupying forces after they have been transformed. Resistance fighters can fight the occupying forces, but it is obviously impossible for them to turn their guns on the civilian population. What's more, there are a large number of civilians in each city, and there are 10 million in Rising Sun City alone, and even if the resistance fighters regard the civilians who have been modulated as enemies, it is impossible to control so many people, let alone fight against so many modulators.

In the end, will the expansion of the resistance force invite all-out retaliation from the occupying forces?

The answer is yes, the occupying forces will certainly retaliate in an all-out way, even by mobilizing forces from other continents, or by directly exploiting the civilian population that has already been modulated. Even if the size of the resistance army was increased to 3,000 men, it would not be a match for the occupation army at all.

Considering these problems, Chu Tianjiang made it clear that the focus should be on the common people.

That is, a way must be found to keep the civilian population out of the control of the occupying forces, and it would be great if they could be made assistants to the resistance.

The only way is for the common people to accept the reform.

To put it bluntly, it is only through transformation that the civilian population will not be controlled by the occupying forces, and only then will they be able to make a choice and become allies of the resistance.

The problem arises, it is impossible for Chu Tianjiang to transform for everyone.

In other words, it is impossible to expand the energy transformation of the nervous system to everyone. Even if he had enough energy bodies, Chu Tianjiang didn't have that much energy, let alone so much time. Other solutions must be found to solve this problem.

What else can be done?

For a while, not to mention Hawke and the others, even Chu Tianjiang couldn't think of an effective way.

Although according to Iska, when the occupying forces modulated the civilians, they must have done tricks, that is, they could control the civilians through mental power, so there must be a similar way to keep those civilians who have accepted the modulation from the mental control of the occupying forces, but what is the method and how to achieve it, Iska can't say clearly, what she made is just a guess.

Now, the problem is back to square one.

Chu Tianjiang had to face the reality that before he could find a way to save the civilian population, all he could do was to expand the size of the resistance army.

To put it bluntly, it is to establish its own prestige and get the other resistance forces to join in.

So, what to do?

Hawke believes that the occupation forces stationed in the city should continue to fight with the city of the rising sun as the center, because they know the situation on this side best. If they can keep the occupying forces at bay in Sunfall, they will be able to make a name for themselves and let more of the resistance know that they have won a great victory here.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang's ideas are more radical.

Although continuing to fight in the Rising Sun City can receive some results, if you want to expand your reputation as soon as possible, the best way to do it is obviously not to be in a safe corner.

For this reason, Chu Tianjiang put forward an extremely bold idea.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang put forward this idea with an extremely important purpose, that is, to try to prove whether Iska's guess was correct.

It was also when Chu Tianjiang was actively planning the attack that Cross returned to Odin City.

As commander-in-chief of the occupied zone, Cross has the right to promote commanders. Under his arrangement, a commander has been concocted in the modulation center of Odin City, and this commander has come to the Rising Sun City to replace the finished Lagarde and begin to command the officers and soldiers here.

Cross stayed in Rising Sun City for half a month, arranging a large-scale manhunt operation.

Although the Resistance's location was found by the search team, the Resistance had withdrawn and erased any clues left during the evacuation.

Obviously, this resistance army is very cunning, and it is known that the road has caused a catastrophe, so it went into hiding.

Cross knew very well that it was impossible to find the Resistance by relying on those ordinary officers and soldiers, and even if he did, he might not be able to annihilate the Resistance.

It is important to know that the occupation forces in various places are only conventional military forces.

Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even the commanders of the occupying forces are just ordinary remodulators. In order to ensure that they have certain aspects of their abilities, such as having normal reproductive abilities and being able to reproduce offspring, the modulation is greatly restricted, thus limiting their superpowers. These officers and soldiers are enough to deal with the ordinary resistance, but in the face of that super strong existence, they are useless at all.

Otherwise, Lagarde would not have been so easily finished.

In the past few days, Cross has also thought a lot and thought more thoroughly.

The point is, Cross figured out a problem. That super being must have a very strong mental power and can control other modulators, so he raided Lagarde, so that Lagarde didn't have time to transform. Perhaps Lagarde had lost control before it was over.

If that were the case, the ordinary officers and men of the occupying army would not be his opponent at all.

You must know that a super existence with the spiritual power of the patriarch level can easily deal with ordinary modulators, and even be able to control these modulators.

To deal with such a super-powerful being, it is necessary to use a secret weapon, a more powerful modulator.

To this end, Cross returned to the city of Odin.

This particular concoctor is Dr. Holmes's handiwork, and it is the "freak" that Holmes created after the battle five years ago.

This modulator has an extremely unique distinction compared to other modulators.

That is, they are not controlled by the mental power of the patriarch.

Not to mention a patriarch like Cross, even Holmes couldn't control them with mental power like he did with other modulators.

At first, Cross couldn't understand why Holmes wanted to come up with such a concoctor.

It is important to know that the modulators who are not under the control of the Patriarch are very dangerous, because the Patriarch does not feel their presence, and they can do whatever they want.

To put it bluntly, they are completely uncontrolled superweapons.

If they were given complete freedom, the consequences would be unimaginable, and there was a high probability that they would pose a mortal threat to the Church and even to the senators.

During the experiment, a similar situation occurred.

Although Cross was not present at the time, according to recorded information, one of these modulators killed everyone in the modulation center after he lost control. If it weren't for Holmes arriving in time with three veterans, I'm afraid this guy would have escaped from the modulation center.

It is precisely for this reason that there are strict rules and restrictions on this modulator, which Holmes calls "Locke".

First of all, those who can become "Locke" must be the most staunch believers, who must be absolutely loyal to the Church, and who will unconditionally obey the orders given by the patriarchs. Secondly, they must have a strong psychological quality and be able to withstand the pain and suffering that others cannot bear. At the very least, the one who can modulate the "Locke" must be the patriarch, and only the patriarch can activate those specially prepared modulation equipment and complete the modulation.

What's more, it can only be modulated when it is needed.

That is, in peacetime, "Locke" does not exist.

Now that I think about it, Cross knew why Holmes wanted to make "Locke", because Holmes had long known that that super existence had the same spiritual power as the patriarch, and ordinary modulators couldn't deal with him at all, so he needed a modulator like "Locke" who was not controlled by mental power.

Of course, in addition to not being controlled by mental power, "Locke" also has strong superpowers, and almost all of them are aimed at the superpowers of that super-powerful existence. For example, they all have venom glands that secrete a venom that has a superior solubilizing power. They can also synthesize energy bodies in their bodies and control the detonation of energy bodies. Depending on the role they play, each of them has unique superpowers.

To put it bluntly, "Locke" is a weapon used to deal with that super-powerful being.

In the city of Odin, there are four "Locke". It's just that, according to Holmes, none of them were really "Locke" until there was a need. Only by remodulating them can they become "Locke" and gain superpowers. It was Cross who was able to modulate them.
