In just 20 years, the Dodd Group, which emerged after the fog disaster, has become the leading industrial giant in the entire Mozambique, and its influence not only covers the entire northern coastline, but even the large and small countries in the central and southern parts of the country will be more or less affected by it from politics to military and people's livelihood.

It is no exaggeration to say that without external restrictions, the Dodd group would not only be in full control of the new Podo region, but would have controlled the entire northern part of the Moissanal continent.

Some people analyze that the reason why Dodd Group can maintain its own stable and rapid development in this era of rampant monsters and social unrest is that the main reason is that Dodd Group far exceeds the industrial level of the times, and can produce all kinds of whimsical ideas, but extremely energy-efficient machinery, and only Dodd Group can produce this kind of machinery, and other peers even if they buy the machinery they produce back to disassemble and assemble, they will completely replicate the same machinery.

But this kind of analysis is only half right in the eyes of those who really understand the higher level of the Dodd Group, and for these people who have been exposed to the transcendent level, there is only one reason why the Dodd Group can rise and stand tall in such a complex environment as the Mozambican continent, and that is the witch group standing behind the Dodd Group.

This is also the main reason why the countries of Mozambique will try their best to curb the development of Dodd Group in their own countries, even if they urgently need various machinery and industrial supplies produced by Dodd Group.

As the monsters became the main body of this world, and the gods returned to save the world, the underground worlds that were hidden in the shadows of the normal world in the past also surfaced and gradually stood in the light, and even those underground cults that had been attacked by the Orthodox Church in the past also took advantage of the uneasy state of the people to preach semi-openly in some remote towns.

In this regard, in the past, the Orthodox Church would definitely send people to completely eradicate these underground evil god churches mercilessly, but now the churches in the Orthodox Church cannot draw any manpower, and the important cities controlled by each church need to be stationed a large number of clergy who have mastered divine power and divine arts, so as to barely maintain the normal life and development of the city under the continuous attacks of the surrounding monsters, and can no longer draw out additional church forces to support other marginal areas, so they can only watch these cultists wander around under their noses.

In addition to the need to maintain the security and stability of the city, another important reason why the Orthodox Church cannot deploy manpower is those underground forces that have taken advantage of this troubled era to come to the fore.

The reason why these large and small underground forces have always been hidden in the shadow of normal society in the past is not because they themselves pretend to be mysterious, but because they want to do this, it is entirely because of the suppression of the church in the Orthodox Church, so that they cannot stand on the bright side, which also makes the relationship between these large and small underground forces and the Orthodox Church is definitely not good.

In the past, in order to avoid pushing these underground forces too hard and doing crazy things, the Orthodox Church would always suppress those underground forces to a certain extent, and would mainly pacify them, ease relations with these underground forces, and even carry out some cooperation, so that these underground forces would be in a state of half-death that would neither perish nor develop.

However, now that these underground forces have begun to stand on the bright side and expand their influence through the development of the forces under their control, this will naturally not make the Orthodox Court happy, so after maintaining the stability of the city, the main enemies of the Orthodox Church are not those evil god churches that only dare to develop in the marginal towns, but those underground forces that openly set up strongholds in the areas under their control and develop members.

Among these underground forces that are concerned by the church, several forces have especially received the attention of the Orthodox Church, and even the danger of these forces has been raised to the level of the Evil God Church, such as the wizard assembly hall, such as the Life Society established from the medical school, etc., and the underground force that is regarded as the first threat by the church is the Witch Order, because the Witch Group is the only force with demigods among all the underground forces, and from all indications, the number of demigods in the Witch Group may even be more than one in the near future.

The suppression of the witch group by the Orthodox Church is a well-known thing in the entire Velun civilization world, even ordinary farmers have heard the story of hunting witches, and in terms of the degree of suppression against many underground forces, the suppression of witches by the Orthodox Church can be said to be the strongest, this suppression has lasted for thousands of years, and it is not until the last few hundred years with the development of the steam industry and scientific cognition that the influence of the church has weakened, and this suppression has gradually weakened and disappeared, and even the church sometimes has some cooperation with the members of the witch group, inviting its members to join some special departments of the Orthodox Church and so on。

But all this is based on the fact that the Witch Clan is weak enough to be controlled by the Church, and when the Witch Clan's power increases, the original partners will immediately become enemies.

Now there are two forces on the surface of the witch group, one is the queen of the ice and snow kingdom in the north of the Minsk continent, and the other is the king elector who secretly controls the political and business circles of the Mares Kingdom and the Savile Kingdom.

According to the analysis of the intelligence collected by the Orthodox Church, the queen of the Northern Ice and Snow Kingdom is already a real demigod, and has established her own church, if she is not too big, she will definitely be able to become a true god in the future.

As for the king selector who doesn't know how old she is, although she is not a demigod, her strength should not be much worse than that of a demigod, and it is said that she also controls the legendary Ayuli Forest, so her overall strength is not much worse than that of the demigod in the north.

However, the two witch forces that have already stood on the bright side are not the most feared by the Orthodox Church, because although the two witch forces are strong, their influence is only on the Minsk continent, and the Church of the Hill King and the Church of the Lord of All Things on that continent are very powerful True God Churches, with the strength of the True God, no matter how much the power of those two witch groups expands in the Minsk Continent, it is impossible to completely control the entire Minsk Continent.

The witch force that really makes the Orthodox Court jealous is actually the witch force behind the Dodd Group, the First Witch Group gathered with Sylvia as the leader, because with the expansion of the influence of the Dodd Group, the influence of the First Witch Group has also expanded rapidly, and the two continents of Velun Continent and Moisan Continent are within the scope of its influence, and it can be said to be a well-deserved underground force with the first influence.

In fact, before the establishment of the First Witch Order, the Orthodox Church had thought about directly attacking Sylvia to curb the development of the Dodd Group, because they had already predicted how far the underground forces gathered around Sylvia would develop with the development of the Dodd Group.

However, in the face of this proposal, there are not only voices of opposition within the Orthodox Church, but also the various churches of the Orthodox Church have a huge controversy over this proposal.

Sylvia, who had served as an adjudicator within the Orthodox Church for a while, had built up some good networks within the Orthodox Church, which, while not having much influence on proposals from the top, were able to create some noise and disrupt the situation within the Orthodox Church.

As the pillar church of the Orthodox Church, the Church of the Lord of the Sky is also controversial about this proposal, mainly because Sylvia is the goddaughter of Mama Hannah, the founder of the Redemptive Church of the Church of the Sky, and the only heir designated by Mama Hannah.

Although the influence of the Redeemers within the Church of the Lord of the Sky was far from comparable to that of now, it had already formed a certain scale and could influence the decisions of the church's upper echelons.

In addition, the four major churches, such as the King of the Hill, the Lord of All Life and Death, the Lady of the Lake, and the Poseidon, were also very ambiguous about this proposal, neither agreeing nor opposing it, as if implying that if the proposer wanted to deal with Sylvia, he would deal with it himself, and don't pull us in.

The reason why this proposal was not implemented in the end was not the attitude of the churches, but the fact that after the completion of the garden that Sylvia had built for herself, the legendary Black Forest white deer appeared in the garden, and under the watchful eyes of the invited guests at the time, they wandered through the garden and then disappeared, and Sylvia's garden became known as the Garden of Luxuri.

The Orthodox Church did not suspect Sylvia of fraud in this matter, because among the guests invited at that time were also high-ranking members of churches large and small, such as the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the Church of the Lady of the Lake, and the Church of the Sea God, and they could be regarded as parties and knew very well the truth of this matter.

Although the legendary Black Forest White Deer is only equivalent to the swamp gods believed in by the Hanosa League in terms of strength alone, the Black Forest where the White Forest is located is a completely different existence, a forbidden place that even the gods revere, and no god will ignore the existence of the Black Forest.

Because of this, even if Bailu never opened his mouth to express his attitude from beginning to end, or even blessed the Garden of Luxuri, his appearance in the garden and playing in the garden was already the best statement.

In this situation of internal controversy and external force majeure, the proposal against Sylvia was temporarily shelved, and the containment of the Dodd group could only be done in secret, not in the open.

However, in the last two years, the proposals that had been shelved have been brought back to the table and the possibility of implementation has been re-discussed.

The reason for this change was that the church leaders who were close to Sylvia at the time also felt pressure from the rapid development of the Dodd group, and were extremely disgusted by the Dodd group's decision to build public colleges on a large scale and support taboo research, and felt that the Dodd group should not be allowed to develop like this.

Another unexpected incident was the main reason why the Orthodox Church decided to re-implement the shelved proposal, when White Deer suddenly appeared outside the Dodd Group's hunters' headquarters in the old United Kingdom capital, destroyed the hunters' headquarters, and killed a hunter team supported by the Dodd Group.

It was later discovered that the hunter team had violated the Dodd Group's ban by entering the Black Forest and killing a herd of deer that appeared to be descendants of the White Deer.

In the eyes of others, this incident undoubtedly shows that the Black Forest has stood on the opposite side of the Dodd group, and Sylvia has naturally lost its greatest support.

Unlike last time, when the proposal was re-proposed, it was quickly discussed and entered the formal implementation stage.

At the time of implementation, the information collected by the various churches about the Dodd group, the First Witch Order, and Sylvia was all put together, and when studying these materials and considering ways to deal with Sylvia, Leo Dodd inevitably reappeared in the eyes of everyone.

Leo Dodd's life information is not difficult to collect, and most of the content of the entire information does not show anything special, such as Leo Dodd is the son of a blacksmith, joined the army in his early years, and was wounded in the war, and later won a reward from the English royal family for some merits, purchased some properties in the English Kingdom, etc., on the whole, it looks like a real case of successfully changing his fate through his own struggle.

But if you carefully study these materials line by line, you will find a lot to think about, such as Leo Dodd and his two comrades-in-arms across the Black Forest when he was still an ordinary person, and he was also the one who helped the royal family recover the Poseidon Scepter.

In addition, Leo Dodd is also the last student of the old man Rembrandt who was canonized by various churches, and is also the only survivor of the famous 9 Golden Oak Street, but there is a five-year gap in it, and the latest news also indicates that Leo Dodd has been to the Luxury Forest and stayed in the Black Forest for a long time.

The subtleties revealed were enough to make anyone with a bit of a brain feel that Leo Dodd was definitely not as ordinary as he seemed.

However, the biggest surprise came from the Church of the Lady of the Lake, when the senior clergy of the church looked through the church's holy seal collection, they found that Leo Dodd's name was also among them, and the position was very high, almost reaching the level of the chief priest, which means that Leo Dodd was at least a devotee of the Lady of the Lake.

After this incident was discovered, it directly led to the withdrawal of the lady in the lake from the operation against Sylvia, although Leo and Sylvia have not officially been married yet, and Leo has been missing for more than twenty years, but the two have descendants, in the teachings of the lady in the lake, this can be regarded as proof of husband and wife, so the church of the lady in the lake will never do anything to the family of a god, and even protect Sylvia and Tolan Dodd when necessary.

Later, the Poseidon Church also withdrew from this operation, because the Poseidon Church found out that Leo had participated in the Poseidon sacrifice in the Black Castle more than 20 years ago before he disappeared, and he was able to find the Poseidon Scepter that had been missing for many years, which also meant that he had an inexplicable connection with Poseidon.

This made the people of the Poseidon Church speculate that Leo is likely to be in the Poseidon Holy Land now, and no one can be sure whether Leo will also become the god of Poseidon after he reappears, so for the sake of insurance, the Poseidon Church has also withdrawn from the operation against Sylvia and the Dodd group.

The person had not yet officially appeared, and the information gathered alone had already caused the two churches to change their minds, which made the rest of the people pay special attention to the information about Leo Dodd.
