Just as Odoline's powerful people thought, the matter they gathered to discuss was placed in the form of a document on Sylvia's desk almost immediately after they ended the meeting, and Sylvia just

After turning over a few pages, he threw it aside without taking it to heart at all.

The reason why Sylvia treats the conspiracy of these Odolin dignitaries with such disdain is because she has the confidence to scorn. In her opinion, the shaman deceived the Dodd Group into Odolin because of her own little ideas.

, the moment the factory was built in the cursed land, Odoline's ending was already doomed. Leo's return only accelerated the process and reduced the obstacles. Regardless of whether Leo existed or not, Odoline would eventually

Everything will be in her hands.

It is undeniable that Odolin is indeed a very powerful city. It has impregnable city walls, an astonishing number of city defense troops, and enough food reserves to supply the entire city's soldiers and civilians for several years. In addition, the True God Church, Shamanism and other forces have established a strong presence in the city.

When entering Odoline, they signed a very binding defense agreement with the Odoline city government. When Odoline is in danger, the church and other forces are obliged to send their own armed personnel to participate in the defense of Odoline.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Sylvia is, she does not think that the Dodd Group can capture Odolin through external attacks.

However, when the Shamans invited the Dodd Group to enter Odolin, and the moment the powerful people in Odolin were attracted by the huge bait thrown by Sylvia, Odolin's impenetrable defense completely collapsed, and the original

The invasion of foreign enemies has become an internal matter, and the alliance with the same hatred has been disintegrated by themselves. It is no longer clear who among them is the die-hard resistance faction and who is the bribed traitor faction. The final result is naturally as it is now. The actions of the powerful people in the city

Every move was controlled by Sylvia.

For Sylvia, the only obstacle to Odolin now is a few die-hard resistance factions. Others have either been bribed or are waiting for her to offer a suitable price before selling themselves.

So the only thing she needs to pay attention to is what amazing moves those die-hard resisters make when they are cornered.

However, she also hopes that those people can do some amazing things. In that case, she can use this as an excuse to launch an offensive, instead of having to compete with those people when she already has an absolute advantage like she does now.

In fact, Sylvia very much hopes that she can completely capture Odolin in a short time, because the information she just received recorded something that she least expected to see, and this incident

One thing that may affect her plan to capture Odolin is that the United States, Canada, and neighboring kingdoms have begun to restrict food supplies to the New Bodo region.

The land in the New Puerto area is very suitable for growing grapes and other fruit trees, but it is not suitable for growing food. The New Puerto area has always relied on the United States and Canada to supply food.

Sylvia has noticed this a long time ago. In order to avoid being stuck in the throat by food, she secretly purchased a large amount of food as a reserve food, and secretly entered the depths of Bran Forest to open up farmland. Over the years, she has achieved both results.

The preventive measures have some effects, but these effects are not enough to completely get rid of the impact of food supply in the New Bodo region. Based on the food in Sylvia's hands now, after limiting the supply quota, the food can only last for one year at most.

In about a year, we will encounter a food shortage crisis.

Now America's actions are undoubtedly because of what happened to Odolin. They want to use this method to force her to quit Odolin. Although the method is simple, it is very effective. Now the Dodd Group has only two choices, either

Either quit Odolin and stay in the New Bodo area, or continue to control Odolin, and the base camp in the New Bodo area will face the chaos caused by food shortage in the near future.

"What happened?" Leo frowned when he saw Sylvia picking up a document and reading it. Leo, who was drafting the tower wizard's rules, couldn't help but ask.

Sylvia did not answer, but handed the document in her hand to Leo.

Leo looked at it and quickly understood how much trouble the things recorded in the document would cause to the Dodd Group, and he had no way to do anything about it in a short time.

If given enough time, he might be able to use the power of witchcraft to modulate the current main food in the world of Velen, so that it can produce twice or even more times the food, and he can also transform the land to make it suitable for growing food.

But either method requires a long time of preparation experiments, because if there is an error in the preparation of the food, it may cause great harm to the eater. This has been reflected in the past agricultural history of the Earth and other alien civilizations.

All are proven.

But now the United States and Canada will not give him enough debugging time. Judging from the contents of the document, the entire purchase restriction order will be completely implemented in three days, which means that the preparation time left for Leo and Sylvia is only

It's been three days.

"What do you think we should do about this matter?" Leo put down the document and asked.

Sylvia could tell that Leo meant to ask her if she needed to use force to threaten her. Although she felt that if Leo took action, then this troublesome matter might be solved, but in that case, it would probably attract more people.

Troublesome, because now everyone follows a default rule, that is, extraordinary powers should not interfere too much in national affairs.

Although this rule is unwritten, it is recognized by the vast majority of extraordinary people. Once Leo takes action against the top executives in the United States and Canada, this default rule will be broken, and the resulting trouble may even affect new people.

The stability of the Bodo region itself.

So, after thinking calmly, Sylvia shook her head slightly, expressed her attitude, and then said: "How well do you control the black market?"

"Odoline's black market has been controlled! Are you planning to import food from Odoline's black market?" Leo thought of the black market manager whose ambitions he had aroused, and recalled what he had obtained in the past two days.

intelligence information, no doubt with the help of the medicine provided by Leo, the black market manager has completely eliminated the opponents of Odolin's black market, leaving only his loyal subordinates, and he also secretly found Lei yesterday

Ou, tell Leo that he has controlled the Odolin black market, and hope that Leo can come up with a potion to sell to him, so that he can expand the influence of the Odolin black market and be able to take over the black markets in other cities in the future.

played a big role.

"Since we can't get food through normal channels, we can get it from other channels. But the black market alone is not enough, we need other channels." Sylvia thought for a while and quickly wrote down the black market, the Kingdom of England and

These three names are wilderness.

Although the black market can also import food, the amount cannot be too large, and the black market is a loose organization. Before the black market was unified, the black markets in each city and region belonged to their own. Only the Odolin black market and the New Bodo regional black market

These two black markets can hardly supply the food needed by the entire New Bodo region, and can only solve urgent needs.

What can really make up for the food shortage is the Kingdom of England and the Wasteland. Although the three continents of Velen, Mozambique and Minsk each have their own food-producing areas, these food can only barely supply daily needs, especially

The food supply in Velen Continent cannot even sustain daily needs, and the food vacancies in these continents are almost all filled by the Kingdom of England.

Because after the Year of Fog, the number of mutated monsters that appeared on the sea was much less than that on the ground. In addition, the ocean authority controlled by the Poseidon Church made the Kingdom of England's control of the ocean not only not weakened, but actually strengthened than before.

Many, even many islands of the Kingdom of Sigmar are occupied by the Kingdom of Inge. If the Kingdom of Sigmar were not the same Poseidon Church country, the Kingdom of Inge might have annexed it.

After controlling the islands scattered all over the ocean, the Kingdom of England not only organized large and small merchant fleets to control the ocean trade between the three continents, but also opened up a large number of plantations on uninhabited islands.

Food, because no matter how stupid people are, they know that in troubled times, food is more precious than money.

The relationship between the Dodd Group and various chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of England is pretty good, especially the relationship between the Sea Monster Chamber of Commerce and the Sea Monster Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to the initiative of the Sea Monster Chamber of Commerce, they are very close. In addition, because there is a branch of the Randall Poseidon Church in the New Bodo area,

The relationship with the Poseidon Church of the Kingdom of England is also okay.

In the past, the trade between the Dodd Group and the Kingdom of England was mostly mechanical products, rare ores and special items, and no food was purchased from the Kingdom of England. Now that the types of goods are suddenly to be changed, it will definitely take some time for the Kingdom of England to prepare, because the Kingdom of England

The Kingdom of Georgia has fixed quotas for its grain exports to prevent excessive production from causing a drop in grain prices. Now that a large amount of additional cooperation has been added, it will take a long time to divert part of it from other quotas to fill it. This cannot be completed in a short time.

It will also take some time to reset the quota and complete the transaction.

Therefore, before reaching a long-term fixed grain import contract with the Kingdom of England, the Dodd Group still needs to purchase grain from other channels, and now the only place that can meet the food needs of the entire Dodd Group is the wasteland.

The wilderness changed greatly after the Year of the Fog. Tribes and shamanism were divided into northern and southern parts due to ideological issues. The northern wilderness tribes began to become urbanized and nationalized, while the southern tribes still maintained their traditions.

Although those urbanized wasteland tribes have opened plantations, their output is very low due to the monster tide. However, the southern wasteland tribes maintain their tribal form and have a dispersed population, so they rarely encounter that kind of monster tide. Most of the time

They are all single monsters. The plantations there have always remained intact, and the food is sufficient, even somewhat surplus.

Sylvia had previously thought about purchasing grain from the southern wilderness tribes for use as food reserves, but due to the strong obstruction of the northern tribes who hoped to occupy all the resources produced in the wilderness, Sylvia's plan was not successfully implemented. However,

The relationship network established with the southern tribes still exists and will be strengthened every year. Therefore, as long as the food transportation channel is opened, purchasing food from the southern tribes in the wasteland should not be a problem.

After briefly introducing the current situation, Sylvia said: "If you have nothing else to do, we will set off to the sacred mountain of shamanism in the next two days to resolve this matter."

When Leo heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it okay to just leave things here like this?"

Sylvia smiled disdainfully and said, "If they dare to show up at this time, they will flatter me and save me a lot of trouble."

Looking at Sylvia's look, Leo knew that she must have made some arrangements, or traps. Even if there was no food shortage in America, she would probably find other excuses to leave Odolin with him temporarily, so he

He didn't inquire about the arrangements in detail. He just said that he could leave at any time, and then got up and went to the temporary laboratory to make some arrangements for his departure. Since Sylvia had laid some traps, he naturally couldn't do nothing, so what?

You should also leave something in the temporary laboratory so that those who break in and steal something can gain something.

Two days passed quickly, and the recruitment work of Dodd Group was nearing completion. Both the construction engineering company and the security company had recruited enough manpower, and the office locations of the two companies had also been arranged. Among them, the construction company

The engineering company was directly arranged near the former quarry, while the security company rented a military camp of the city defense army to serve as a temporary office and training base.

Just when everyone thought that the Dodd Group was preparing to start a big fight, the food restriction orders from the United States, California, and neighboring countries targeting the New Bodo region began to be transmitted to various cities in Mozambique. For a while, everyone thought that the Dodd Group

I'm afraid I'm going to get into big trouble.

Everyone knows how important food is in today's world. Once there is no food, no matter how many armed forces or large groups, they will collapse and dissipate like castles in the air.

However, in the face of this situation, Dodd Group seemed to know nothing and continued with its previous plans, such as the construction engineering team starting to take over the reconstruction of the factory area, the security company starting normal personnel training, etc.

Not only Odolin's Dodd Group did not respond to this restriction order, but even the Dodd Group in the New Bodo area also ignored this restriction order. The area controlled by the Dodd Group remained calm and quiet, and everyone was waiting

People who saw the civil strife in the Dodd Group were extremely surprised.

The anti-Dodd forces who were originally planning to take advantage of this restraining order suppressed their eagerness to move and waited for the subsequent discovery of the matter. They all believed that the current Dodd Group was pretending to be calm and could not use it.
