Chapter 1152: The Situation Changed Suddenly
Although the proposal for the establishment of a state has been shelved, the idea has never disappeared from Sylvia's mind, and for so many years she has been trying to make up for the shortcomings of the Dodd clique in the New Porto.
For example, when the population was single, she imposed a relocation law in the New Porto, attracting local tribes from Moisan and other countries to settle here.
Although this practice has caused security problems to a certain extent, it has made the population and ethnic groups in the Nuevo Podo area as diverse and hierarchical as Sylvia hoped, and no longer all French refugees as they were at the beginning, which will undoubtedly play a great role in the subsequent development of the Nueva Porto area.
The invisible prestige of those who moved to Moisan from other continents was now no longer the more powerful kingdoms of Megaliga and other Mozambines, but the new Porto, and this intangible prestige also had a complementary effect on trade between the Dodd group and the other two continents.
Although politically and commercially, the layout of Dodd Group has been very perfect, there is still a huge vacancy in the bottom combat power.
Because the New Porta region is a region of immigrants, the people here are particularly sensitive to turmoil and disasters, and the sense of belonging to the local area is much weaker than that of the people of other kingdoms.
In such an environment, even if the Defence Forces in the Nuevo Porto region adjust their salaries to the highest among all countries in the Mozambican continent, and regard the sense of belonging and loyalty as the primary assessment items in the selection of Defence Force soldiers, it is still difficult to recruit satisfactory soldiers, so until now, both the Defence Forces and the police gendarmerie system in the Nuevo Porto area are still in a state of dissatisfaction.
Although the failure of the artificial transcendents, those super soldiers whose physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people can make up for this gap to a certain extent, but their number is too small, once dispersed to various departments and armies, the combat power that can be formed is very weak, it is better to gather them together to form a separate combat team that specializes in tackling tough problems, which can better reflect their value.
Now the war fortress proposed by Leo can just make up for the shortcomings of the low-level combat power in the new Porta region, there is no need to build too much, only one, then the new Porta region does not need to worry about the replenishment of combat power, and the road to the establishment of the country is naturally unhindered.
Therefore, when Sylvia proposed the concept of a war fortress in Leo, she instinctively took out the founding plan that had been shelved for a long time in her heart, analyzed it, and confirmed that it was indeed feasible before mentioning it to everyone, and worried that Leo did not understand the situation, and explained it in great detail.
"Whether it is the surrounding countries, or the Church of the True God, the Shaman Church and other forces, they can't do nothing, and seeing that we have built a war fortress, they will definitely try some way to destroy it, or even start a full-scale war. After all, Su has been in the special department of the United States and Canada for a long time, and she is very aware of the situation in the countries of the Mozambican continent, so she is not very optimistic, but more worried.
Sylvia also quickly recovered from the excitement of founding a country, and after thinking calmly for a moment, she turned to Leo and asked, "Does it take a long time to build a war fortress?"
"Look at the size of the war fortress. Leo thought for a moment and said: "With the current industrial level of the Velen Continent, even the smallest war fortress will take two or three years to build, as for the size of a city, unless the industrial level reaches a very high level, it can completely replace manpower with machinery, otherwise, it will be difficult to build it in this world." ”
Emily, who was very enthusiastic about the establishment of a new country in the New Porta, saw that new problems had arisen again, so she couldn't help but ask: "If it is so difficult to build, why can the lake town you mentioned be built?"
"The war fortress in Lake Town has been built for many years, starting as a small war fortress, and then gradually expanding outward, eventually building the size of a small city. Leo didn't care about Emily's doubts, but patiently explained: "In addition, the world where Lake Town is located is completely different from ours, where the power that can be generated by a part when it is operated far exceeds the power that can be generated by a mechanical device in this world, so it is much less difficult to build than we have here." As he spoke, he looked at Sylvia and said, "In addition, the financial resources required for the construction of the war fortress are very huge, and it is difficult to support it in the new Porta region alone, so if you want to make up for the shortcomings of the founding plan, it is best to start from other aspects." ”
Sylvia seemed to hear Leo's meaning and said, "Are you talking about a super soldier?"
"Not exactly. Leo shook his head and said, "I'm talking about steam-mechanical armor that ordinary people can wear. ”
"Ordinary people wear it, is it possible?" Before Sylvia could speak, Sue couldn't help but question.
Su had seen the tragic condition of ordinary experimenters after wearing the kind of steam-mechanical armor made by the Dodd Group, let alone ordinary people, even modified super soldiers could not wear that kind of armor for a long time.
"How do you know if you don't try. Leo didn't finish his sentence, and after giving a vague response, he turned to Sylvia and said, "Can you arrange me a quiet place? I need to do some experiments." ”
Sylvia thought for a moment and said: "We also have a secret industry in the city, located near the former quarry, which is considered the edge of the city defense of Odorin, and it is not particularly safe, so there is no one over there, you can go there for a while first, and then you can transfer it after I have sorted out the factory here." ”
Leo inquired about the exact location of the place, and made sure that if something happened here, he would still be able to get over in time, so he agreed to Sylvia's arrangement.
Because Leo is now mainly engaged in the simplified design of steam mechanical armor, so there is no need to conduct too many experiments, most of the design solutions can be calculated and analyzed in the mind, only need to add some alchemy tools to complete the transformation of the industry, move there, and start his research on steam mechanical armor, artificial transcendents and other projects.
Just after Leo moved to the old quarry, Sylvia also began to close the net, and began to officially start to crack down on those who secretly targeted the Dodd group.
That night, more than 30 of Odoline's dignitaries and leaders were assassinated, none of them escaped, and more than a dozen factories in the city also had accidents of varying degrees, and these accidents all caused damage to the core of the factory equipment, and the factories had to be shut down.
This round of sudden blows directly made everyone stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while, they knew very well that the person who did these things was Sylvia, because those who were assassinated were all representatives of the various forces pushed to the front of the stage to confront the Dodd Group this time, and those factories were also industries controlled by the various forces of the anti-Dodd Group.
These local political and business forces of Odolin, who are anti-Dodd clique, have used various means to attack the Dodd clique in recent times, perhaps because they feel that they have the chance to win, and think that they can pressure the Dodd clique to bow their heads and obtain the benefits they want, so they did not hide their means and hides, and waited for the Dodd clique to take the initiative to contact them for peace talks.
It's just that what they never expected was that the Dodd group, or Sylvia's reaction would be so rough and direct, it was like a strong warrior armed with a knife and axe breaking into a group of thin scholars, and the scholars still wanted to debate with each other, but the other party directly slashed with a knife and axe.
The most chilling thing for the top leaders of these forces is that those assassinated colleagues are not without protection around them, in fact, each assassinated person has a certain number of mercenaries around them, including some transcendents who are famous in the underground forces, and even a few of them are transcendent themselves, and they also wear strange objects containing powerful powers.
However, these protections did not work in the face of this round of assassinations, none of the mercenaries found that their protector had been assassinated, and all the protective items worn by those who were assassinated were not activated, and all of them died peacefully, as if they were asleep, without even a wound on their bodies.
Seeing the calm and peaceful appearance of the deceased, all the parties concerned felt a chill in their hearts, because they found that they did not seem to be safe at all, and the other party could kill their colleagues silently, as well as kill them silently.
In the face of this situation, these political and business elites who used to be high in the sky could not think of any way to solve it, and the mercenaries they had recruited with a lot of money had already proven their incompetence in this round of assassinations, and their so-called means of protection were useless in the face of Sylvia's First Witch Regiment.
In the face of a threat to their lives, these people have no intention of thinking about what to do with the factories that have had accidents, and how to save their lives in the next round of assassinations.
Some people want to negotiate peace with Sylvia, after all, if Sylvia kills them all, then Odoline City will probably be in chaos, and the city defense army, military police and police will also lose control, and when the time comes, the monsters lurking in the forest outside the city will attack again, then Odoline City will be destroyed, and Sylvia should not want to see such a thing happen.
However, these people who wanted peace talks could not find the person they wanted to talk to, and when they asked the head of the Dodd Group, who was in charge of cleaning up the rubble of the factory, they got the same answer: Sylvia was dealing with the issue of the victims' bereavement, and did not have time to meet with them.
Unable to find a chance for peace talks, they had to turn to other forces in Odolyn City that had a large number of transcendents, such as various True God Churches, underground black markets, shaman churches, and so on, in order to seek protection, and secondly, they hoped to use the influence of these forces to force Sylvia to come out for peace talks.
However, both the Church of the True God and the Shamanism are only willing to provide protection to these people, but they are not willing to interfere with this matter further, and the underground black market directly rejects these so-called distinguished guests, and only the Shamanic Muling Society expresses its willingness to stand aside with these people.
It's just that these people know very well that something happened to the Dodd Group's factory, and the Muling Society must have played a disgraceful role in it, after all, when the site was selected, the cursed land was provided by the Muling Society, and if they really mixed with the Muling Society, then the chances of making peace with Sylvia would be even slimmer.
For this reason, they can only huddle together to keep warm, and gather all the people they hire together to increase the power of protection, and they are also concentrated in one place and protected in a unified manner.
While it is possible that Sylvia will be wiped out, this concentration of protection is clearly more useful than the individual defeats, as evidenced by the fact that there have been no more assassinations in the following days.
However, these Odoline magnates were not happy because of this, because they all realized that they thought they were powerful, and they were as fragile as paper in the face of Sylvia's extraordinary power, and they were now not so much waiting for an opportunity to fight back, but waiting for Sylvia's decision to dispose of them.
Although they knew very well that neither the Shamanic Church nor the Church of the True God would see them, the political and business magnates, surrender to Sylvia, let Sylvia control Odoline, and definitely stand up for them to resist Sylvia's attack at a critical time, but they also knew better that no matter what the final outcome was, their power could not go back to the past, and could only become vassals of those powerful and extraordinary forces.
This also made them wonder why they were so confused before, and they thought that through the factory accident, the Dodd Group and Sylvia bowed their heads, and this suspicion also made them find some hidden clues while examining themselves, and realized that they seemed to be induced into this whirlpool, and the black hands that secretly induced them seemed to be those extraordinary forces that they had no way to turn to this time.
At this moment, they realized that the Dodd Group was not the prey, they were.
At the same time, just as these Odoline magnates woke up to their situation, Sue, as the representative of Sylvia, appeared directly in the square where the anti-Dodd group rally was located, announced the reconstruction plan of the Dodd group in the factory area, and also announced the compensation for the victims of the accident, and the amount of the pension was huge beyond the expectations of everyone present.
But this is not the most high-profile thing, what really made the entire Odorin City boil, and even alarmed the entire Moissanite Continent and the Velen World, was the artificial super soldier plan announced by Su subsequently, which can be summed up in one sentence, so that ordinary people can also have a powerful power comparable to that of the transcendent.
Originally, just talking about it wouldn't cause any big shock, but Su took out a potion, and selected an emaciated old beggar on the spot, and then injected the potion into his body, as a result, the old beggar became visibly stronger in front of everyone, and the strength he showed even exceeded that of ordinary warriors who had been trained for many years.
