Chapter 24: The Revival

After a few hours, when the masking circle that was covering the vacant space of the industrial area disappeared, the people in the city finally realized that something was wrong, and the industrial area seemed to have changed differently.

The steam engine, which was supposed to roar, was silent, and a large industrial area was shrouded in a fog. This fog looks like steam, so people just thought there was some massive steam pipe leak here.

Reminiscent of the recent terrorist attack, this is likely to be another terrorist attack.

The armed forces of the police were the first to arrive at this place, but soon their rear command lost contact with the front line, and there was not even screaming or anything, it was as if a whole group of people had disappeared out of thin air in an instant.

This made the police department realize the seriousness of the matter, but until now they only thought that it was because there were powerful alchemists inside, so the police department contacted the garrison outside the city.

Soon, Andrew's garrison began to enter the industrial zone with light tanks, heavy firepower, and a bunch of war alchemists.

But the troops who entered the interior were only a quarter of an hour longer than the police, and they did not know what was really going on in the foggy industrial area, and they soon lost contact with the rear headquarters.

This is a good thing, the army can't solve it, which shows that this industrial zone is not a simple terrorist attack, and it is not a strange incident that even the army and the upper echelons of the police department do not know.

Over the years, as the hidden power has gradually entered the secular world, all kinds of small strange events have occurred, so much so that the police department has a special alchemist advisor.

The army and police did not dare to delay the slightest delay and immediately reported the situation here.

Soon, Duke André, the supreme ruler of André County, also learned of the strange incident in the industrial area, and he immediately reported what happened here to the southern government.

And the southern government soon discovered that the two angels under its command were anomalously transferred, and now how can they contact or locate these two angels, combined with the strange incident reported by Andre County, so that the southern government has a bad premonition.

As a result, the top level of the government also realized the danger of this matter, attached great importance to the handling of this matter, and immediately began to plan actions.

Soon, the southern government sent four angels, sixteen mechanical god-level alchemists, and many mass-produced alchemy puppets into the industrial zone to investigate.

This time I can be regarded as knowing what is really going on inside the industrial zone. A subspace rift was sealed inside the industrial zone, and with the casualties of the previous groups, it had begun to transform into the central part of the Continental Bridge.

However, because of the existence of an alchemy matrix that was so powerful that all the alchemists present could not understand it, this subspace rift continued to be polluted to the periphery, and according to their preliminary calculations, it would take at least a year for this rift to recover.

Although the ancient families had corresponding ways to repair the cracks, after all, this is an industrial area within the city, not independent, and if there is any accident, it is likely that the entire city will be polluted.

By that time, with the bonus of an entire city, wouldn't Andre County be a subspace storm region?

Therefore, the current method is to block the area contaminated by the subspace crack, and then send alchemists to arrange multiple layers of insurance measures outside the original alchemy matrix.

However, this matter is not over, the Hannover family privately called two angels and caused a heavy loss of the hidden power of the southern government, which made the other forces in the southern government feel extremely dissatisfied, what is the difference between this behavior and betrayal?

If it weren't for the fact that the Hannover family was the royal family of the former Augustus Empire, with great strength, those family forces would be eager to eat the Hannover family.

No one knows how many places there are for using living meteorites to achieve immortality, but one less can be one anyway.

And the temporary patriarch of the Hannover family didn't know why his previous predecessor had secretly come to André County, and what he had done. It can't be some subspace evil god to summon, right?

It is not clear what the previous head of the family has done, so the current head of the family can only swallow his anger, accept some punishment that does not seem very serious, and hand over some resources to compensate for the losses of the southern government.

After dealing with the group of people who were chasing him, the Spirit Lord left André County with Delaloan and headed towards Sanctuary City.

That spatial crack was caused by the spirit lord after using all his strength, and the alchemy matrix was placed before the spirit lord left. The core area of the old family doesn't go to a more modern place like Andrew, so it won't take much trouble to repair the cracks.

It didn't want Andre County to suddenly become a subspace erosion area.

This is the reason why the Spirit Lord does not want to use all his strength, every time he uses his full strength, it is possible to knock a subspace crack out of a space.

De La Loan was now pulling the Spirit Lord to talk excitedly, and she was not at all frightened by what happened in the industrial area, but she thought it was cool.

A week later they came to the north-south border city, Antaya. In order to show the citizens of the Holy Kingdom that the civil war between the North and the South had ended, the city had been completely detached from militarized administration, and nearby trenches had been filled.

As long as you are not a strategic resource person, such as an alchemist, or transporting strategic resources such as alchemy materials, you can pass through the outpost at will.

The southern government has yet to figure out what is happening in the industrial area of Andrew, so there are no corresponding restrictions. The Spirit Lord, De La Loan, and the Ash Knights gave the inspectors some bribes in disguised merchants, and quickly passed through the checkpoint to the territory of the Northern Government.

The northern government doesn't know what kind of substitute for the séance vehicle, so here the spirit lord is relatively free to move. Then, still as a businessman, he soon came to the outskirts of Sanctuary City a week later by bribing all the way.

It was a bit tricky to get here, after all, after the end of the Civil War, in order to compete for orthodoxy in the future, the northern government began to seriously manage the Sanctuary City.

Therefore, it is still a little difficult for the Spirit Lord to enter the Holy Domain City, but it is still the same sentence, the Spirit Lord is not in a hurry, it has time. Since there was no way to enter the interior of the Holy Realm City, it would start from the outskirts of the city and complete its plan to seize the Holy Kingdom in the future step by step.

Is there any place on the outskirts of the city where there is something that it has left behind?

The Eldridge Family's Gospel Mountain, the Medici Family's Platinum Enburg, the Franlic Family's Canyon of the Holy Light. These are not accessible to ordinary people.

Even if the Spirit Lord took the Ash Knights to forcibly attack, it was very likely that an entire area would be turned into a subspace erosion area. It is better to develop your own power now and wait until later to make a move.

So, the gangs on the outskirts of the city recently learned that there was an organization called the Revival Society, which had a small number of personnel, but was very powerful.

However, such organizations have become commonplace in this era of war and strife, and many deserters simply join gangs as thugs in order to escape punishment from military courts.

There are also many wounded on the front line who have become thug instructors and commanders of gang forces in order to get out of the pain of ordinary life, and train thug units that look like an army. This is something that any gang with a bit of power will do.

Therefore, people speculated that it was probably another group of front-line deserters, and after returning to their hometown, they did not dare to report to the army, so they simply went to the vicinity of Sanctuary City to beg for a living and set up a gang.

As for their gang's slogan is Revival Spiritualism, no one believes it, and there is an organization called the Rebellion, which is actually a group of gangsters in the name of rebelling against the rule of the Holy Kingdom.

So no one values them.

However, in the period that followed, the Revival first took out the old-school local forces that first came to trouble them, and then quickly dominated the underground world of Rutherburg.

This really makes other forces have to pay attention to this revival. You must know that the Illuminati, which once ruled the underground world of Rutherburg Town, has an authoritative alchemist, and there are no less than twenty great mentors.

The fact that such an organization would be defeated in a matter of days speaks volumes about the strength of the Revival. It was unclear what the revival would do next, so the other large gang forces sent messengers to find out what the revival was going to do, while uniting their old acquaintances internally.

As a result, the result was that this newcomer who did not know the height of the sky was completely trying to seize the supreme dominance of the underground world on the outskirts of the entire Sanctuary City.

Don't the people of the Revival know that many of them have people from the northern government behind them? Even if he really had the strength to defeat all the big gangs, how could the northern government sit idly by and let such a monopoly happen?

How can a gang fight a government?

For a moment, these large gangs felt a little lost, and even wondered if this revival could be pushed by the big names in the city.

However, after a few days of inquiry, I learned that this revival society did not have any backstage, so these large gangs decided to join forces to kill this Guojiang Dragon first.

In the past few days, the Revival Society has extended its minions to the nearby town of Fort Delet, and immediately annexed several small gangs on the periphery, and the soldiers are directly aimed at the Red Glove Organization, the ruling force in the underground world of Fort Delet, and its arrogance is very arrogant.

Large gangs have banded together to prepare for the complete elimination of this revival in Fort Dellet.

Ludwig, who was in charge of the overall situation in Sanctuary City, naturally learned that there was a powerful organization outside and had the same ideals as his sister Cecilia, so he naturally wanted to test how this organization was.

So he added to the conflict between this revival and other local forces.

Several forces clearly noticed the strange situation at present, and the revival would begin to expand with unexpected strength and rapidity, which in the eyes of these people was a signal that the bigwigs of Sanctuary City wanted to merge with the underworld outside the city.

They knew very well that they were nothing more than a bunch of lackeys in the eyes of those big people, so they withdrew their main force from the Sanctuary City area and waited and saw what happened.

Although the purpose of the revival society founded by the Spirit Lord is a nonsense in the eyes of those gang forces, it really wants to revive the Spirit Cult and turn the Spirit Sect back into the ruler of the Holy Kingdom.

It doesn't want a religious state, it just wants a strong force dominated by the Spiritual Cult.

An old man who has no strength at all, with the support of a powerful force, actually confronts himself, a legendary character, so that the spirit lord understands how important a force is to an ordinary person.

If an ordinary girl like De La Loan wants to live a carefree life in the future, she must at least have a huge and powerful force like the current Holy Kingdom behind her, right?

In addition, there are many believers in the Holy Land Spirit Sect, especially those outlaws who lick the blood on the knife edge, as long as they believe in the Spirit Sect, they may be even more devout than the devout believers.

Therefore, the spirit lord just demonstrated the basic ability of the living meteorite to manipulate the heavens and the earth, and gathered many believers who were dissatisfied with the current spirit religion and wanted to reform, as well as many gang members and outlaws who believed in the spirit religion.

Thus was established and grew rapidly.

Relying on the Spiritual Dogma and the supervision of the Ash Knights, the members of the Revival Society instantly formed a force comparable to an army. And when fighting with other gangs, there are Ash Knights there, and with these members full of faith, there is basically no suspense to take down the enemy.

During this time, the spirit lord also used the seized alchemy materials to start training the alchemist troops belonging to the Revival Society, which has achieved initial results.

Because of her spirit lord and her own gifts, De La Loan has accomplished many things that are completely impossible for even a child of her physical age, so she has long been praised as a saint by the Renaissance people.

With the current leader, the Spirit Master, the next leader, De La Loan, and the Force Commander Knights of the Ashes, the militarized group of the Revival Society is already full of morale and confidence to deal with the siege of local forces.

And they also have a lofty and righteous goal.

With so many bonuses, although the soldiers of the Revival Society do not have much combat experience, with their fierce and fierce strength, they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary armies.

You know, many tactics are not aimed at completely annihilating the enemy, but to quickly break the enemy's morale, and this group of fighters whose morale is basically locked can only grind them to death.

In the first battle of the industrial zone, which was an encounter, the people of the Revival Society won more with less, and the ruthlessness of the ordinary members who were not afraid of death shook all the local forces.

They had expected that the battle would not go too well, but they did not think that even the ordinary members of the Revival Society would be like this, and they did not know what would happen when their main force came.

It seems that there is no way to completely solve the Revival Society without spending money. Without any hesitation, they all took out their most elite troops and sent them to Fort Dellet. They knew that if they didn't eliminate the Revival Society as soon as possible, then they might really be defeated by the Revival Society one by one.

In just a few days, Fort Dellet had gathered the elite troops of all the local forces outside the Sanctuary City, and the Revival Society had also mobilized its main force, led by the Spirit Lord himself. De La Loan and the unarmed members of the Revival took refuge on a secluded farm with the help of half of the Knights of Ash.

The government of Fort Dellet received a message from the bigwigs of Sanctuary City, and instead of the impending large-scale conflict, they arranged for the army and police forces to evacuate the inhabitants from the city.

In the evening, when darkness fell on the town of Fort Dellet, the battle between the two sides began.

It was the industrial area that first broke out in the fighting, and the Revival Society still uses this place as a breakthrough point for the fighting.

Relying on their familiarity with the industrial zone, the local forces built fortified positions, armed with heavy machine guns and even small infantry guns.

However, the Revival will use alchemy to attack the ground without martial virtue, and then use the Ash Knight as a meat shield to quickly advance the battle line, reduce the distance between the two sides, and then engage in white-knuckle combat.

White-knuckle combat does not rely on any familiarity with the field to achieve victory, it is purely based on one's combat skills and courage.

Clearly, the Revival will outperform the gang forces in this regard. Although their fighting skills are not high, they have a fighting spirit that will bite their opponents to death even with their teeth, and they rely on the tragic exchange of two for one to defeat the enemy's elite.

Then those who were supposed to be used as cannon fodder and fill in the line dispersed in a hurry.

The defense line of the industrial zone was quickly broken down, which the gang forces did not expect.

The local forces quickly reformulated their battle plans in accordance with the Renaissance Society's tactics. The original tactic of blocking layers and then duel the winner was changed to a direct Armageddon.

The two sides put their main forces on the chessboard and fought around the periphery of the sub-residential areas and the metropolitan area connected to the industrial zone.

The fighting was fierce, and countless buildings were destroyed along the lines at the forefront of the firefight. Combatants on both sides are losing every minute.

The battle loss ratio was probably maintained at four to one, and if this was a large battle, then unless the Spirit Lord risked alarming the old monsters around Sanctuary City and the devices set up by the combined army back then, and used all his strength, then it would be impossible for him and half of the Ash Knights to turn the tide of this battle.

However, this was only a small-scale battle, and the presence of dozens of powerful individuals was enough to turn the tables.

In the end, there was no suspense, and the Revival Society won the victory after paying a large price, completely defeating the alliance of local forces.

At this point, the union will exist in name only, and some people will accept the loss together, but no one will be willing to accept the risk of perishing together.

All the local gangs immediately sent envoys to communicate with the Revival Society, some wanted to be affiliated forces, and some wanted to merge directly, as long as they could ensure the enjoyment of the life of the gang leaders, all conditions could be negotiated.

Some of those who have backbone or stronger backstage support will temporarily avoid the three points and regather strength. They believed that the adults of Sanctuary City would not see the underworld outside the city fall under the control of a gang that was not under their control.

But they may have little future, because the northern government now has a headache of how to break the current impasse, and it is Ludwig who is in charge of internal affairs.

Ludwig still wished that Revival would make things bigger, and if he didn't help it grow, he was already thinking about the relationship between the gang forces outside the city and some big people in the city that he couldn't touch, so how could he start dealing with the Renaissance Society.

And in the eyes of those big people, it was just a group of small lackeys who were bitten to death by a larger wild dog, and when the time came, the wild dogs were subdued with the strength of the Holy Kingdom, and there was nothing to work on.

Soon, the order of the underground world outside the city quickly collapsed, and the battle for hegemony began again in an instant. Those small gangs think that the battle of the big forces cannot affect them, so they take advantage of the chaos to grab resources.

But these small forces are also wrong, no matter how small the Revival Society is, what it wants is that there is only one organization in the underground world.

Therefore, these small forces have also suffered, and they are still fighting to the death with their old opponents, and suddenly they are served by the people of the Revival Society along with their own enemies.

Two weeks later, there was only one gang left outside the city, one of the largest underground gangs ever built, the Renaissance.

At this time, the bigwigs in the Sanctuary City were late enough to send their own people to discuss cooperation with the high-level of the Revival Society.

When it is said to be cooperation, it is actually to give benefits on the one hand and deterrence on the other, so that the revival society will obediently become its own lackey.

But to disappoint these big guys, or to be angry. The Revival Society did not accept their "cooperation" at all.

How can this be endured? The bigwigs immediately mobilized the garrison of Sanctuary City, the Holy Knights, the Templars, and the Alchemy Puppet War Alchemist troops to exterminate the Revival.

The Revival Society was not idle until the start of this war with the regular army, first of all, it actively contacted the reform organization in the Sanctuary City, and obtained the deployment of the extermination force this time.

And got in touch with the big people who didn't deal with these extermination troops, and deceived these people that when they got through this hurdle and gave an explanation to some of their subordinates, they would cooperate with these people.

Secondly, the Spirit Lord has done his best to create an elite team armed to the teeth by alchemy, which will be the main force in battle under the leadership of the Knights of Ashes and the Spirit Lord.

In the end, the time chosen by the Spirit Lord to pick out those people for not cooperating was just when Army Group North was planning to start attacking the kingdom of Rothil again.

As long as this war is won, there will inevitably be turmoil/chaos within Sanctuary City, and the political struggle will be clarified, and they will start internal friction, and they will not care whether the Revival Society has become a family dog or not.

Taking advantage of this time and the remains of those regular troops in the war, the Spirit Lord will be able to create an army strong enough to threaten Sanctuary City, and when the time comes, the big names in the city will have to acquiesce to their rule over the underworld outside the city.

Now that you've had plenty of recuperation, the next step is to take the Sanctuary City.

However, the premise is that the Revival Society will test itself to solve the majority of the extermination forces.
