Chapter 1214 Powell's experience

Although the Dodd Group's trade in the wastelands was mainly enlightened tribes of the Northern Tribal Alliance, Sylvia still attached importance to the Southern Tribal Alliance, because only the Southern Tribal Alliance can cross the natural barrier on the edge of the wasteland, the Great Kao River, enter the depths of the real wasteland, and trade with those real hidden tribes in exchange for the most precious wasteland products in the hands of those tribes.

Even in the current chaos in the world, the rare items from the depths of the wasteland are still something that the top powers in this world are flocking to. Some things can even be exchanged for huge benefits equivalent to the output of the Dodd Group in one month.

However, it is definitely not easy to obtain trading rights from conservative tribes such as the Southern Tribal Alliance. Except for a few organizations including the Church of True Gods, which can obtain stable trading quotas, other organizations and forces need to try their luck to obtain a trading quota. This is true for the Kingdom of the United States and the Dodd Group.

Sylvia knew very well how valuable those rare items from the depths of the wasteland were, so when she had just moved the industry to the Mosan continent, she had already sent permanent staff to the undivided Wasteland Holy Mountain and established a fixed office.

After more than 20 years of development, although this office has not been able to help Dodd Group get a fixed transaction quota, it has also helped Dodd Group establish a good trade route among the Southern Tribal Alliance. The portable steam crossbow produced by Dodd Group can be said to be the favorite weapon of these tribes.

However, the only defect of this steam crossbow is that it is easy to damage. Every time it is damaged, it needs to be sent back to the Dodd Group for replacement and repair. Although the people of the Southern Tribal Alliance have proposed to the Dodd Group to improve the vulnerability of the steam crossbow, the Dodd Group has never met the other party's requirement. It is not that the Dodd Group cannot make up for the defect, it is just unwilling. After all, if this thing is made too solid and has not been damaged for decades, then who should I buy the newly made steam crossbow?

However, in order to prevent people from these tribes from being disgusted with their behavior of not improving the steam crossbow, Sylvia still asked the R&D staff of the Dodd Group to improve the special arrows of the steam crossbow, and added the types and efficacy categories of arrows, such as anesthetic arrows and trap arrows specifically for hunting extraordinary creatures, burst arrows specifically for mutant monsters, etc.

Although these arrows are expensive consumables, they cannot withstand these things easy to use. Not only the people of the Southern Tribal Alliance like it, but even the people of the Northern Tribal Alliance want to buy them in large quantities. However, due to the production capacity issue, such weapons can never meet the needs of all forces.

Sylvia will choose to risk expanding the Dodd Group this time because she wants to expand the Dodd Group's production capacity starting from raw materials.

It is not that other industrial groups do not look at this big profit. It is just that the steam crossbows made by industrial groups are far from light, power and use, but they are stronger and more or less profitable, and they also occupy a part of the interests, but they will not cause any trouble to the Dodd Group.

However, this situation has begun to change as the conflict war between the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turf Tribe gradually heats up in recent times, which is also the most headache for Powell, the head of Dodd Group's office in the South, recently.

Powell is a pure Flan Empire. He joined the secret organization formed by Sylvia a long time ago, and then moved to the United Kingdom of Flan with Sylvia. It can be said that he was Sylvia's old subordinate.

When Sylvia moved its industry to Mosan, he hesitated whether he should continue to follow Sylvia.

Because in his opinion, although Sylvia Pan rebelled against the Flan Empire and defected to the United Kingdom of Flan, in fact, Sylvia still served under the banner of the Flan Royal Family, because the king of the Flan Royal Family was still the Flan Royal Family. Even though the power in the hands of this king was not very great, it was more nominal, but for the flans, they were still the object of loyalty.

However, if you leave the Villon Continent and go to the Mosan Continent, you will be completely cut off from the Flange Dynasty, and the person you loyal to the old Flange people like Powell will really become Sylvia, which is a very difficult choice for many Flange people.

So just like all the other flankers who are difficult to make a decision, Powell also reached the last relocation ship to leave the Veeron Continent.

No matter how painful the decision was, afterwards, I would think that the original choice was extremely correct, because shortly after the last relocation ship left the Weilun Continent, a tide of mutated monsters appeared on the Weilun Continent. The Weilun Continent and even the most glorious Flange dynasty in the entire Weilun World were completely destroyed by the endless monster tide in a short time. Those who chose to stay in the Weilun Continent eventually died under the attack of monsters, and the surviving people were also breathing.

Because they were the last group to make the choice, there were already people in all the good positions within the group. Even old subordinates like Powell could only choose some more dangerous and difficult positions.

When we went to the Sacred Mountain of Wasteland to establish an office, it was considered the most dangerous of all missions, not only because of the bad relationship between the Wasteland tribe and people from other continents, but more because of the tide of monsters that had already spread to the Mosan continent at that time.

It was no secret that mutant monsters originated from ordinary creatures in nature at that time, and the wasteland was filled with countless natural creatures. Therefore, people in the Mosang continent at that time believed that an unprecedented wave of mutant monsters would break out in the wasteland, completely destroying everything in the wasteland, and then spreading back to the entire Mosang continent.

So at that time, let alone sending people to the wasteland, there were even many locals in Mosang Continent, as well as the Velen Continent who had just escaped to the Mosang Continent, all planned to take a boat to escape to the Minsk Continent again, because if a monster tide really broke out in the wasteland, the power of the countries in Mosang Continent would definitely not be able to withstand such a huge monster tide, and it would be a matter of time before the fall of the Flan Empire.

However, at that time, only a very small number of forces still had no idea of ​​moving away from the Mosan continent, including the Dodd Group that Sylvia had just formed.

Unlike the forces like the Lord of the Sky that obtained oracles and remained firmly in the Mosan continent, the Dodd Group was completely unable to bear the huge losses caused by the relocation, and had to stay in the Mosan continent with all their hearts. Therefore, in order to obtain first-hand information on the wasteland, especially whether the mutant monster wave broke out in the wasteland, so that it could respond in time, Sylvia immediately decided to establish an office in the Sacred Mountain of the Wasteland. The main work of the office was not to trade with the tribes of the wasteland, but to collect various intelligences. In this way, the candidates sent to the wasteland would have some restrictions and must be experienced intelligence personnel.

At that time, there were not many people who met this condition. Powell was just one of them, but it was different from others who opposed this task. After hearing the relevant content of the task, Powell immediately submitted an application and became the head of the office of Dodd Group in Holy Mountain, and worked in this position for more than 20 years.

Powell didn't know why he made such a decision so quickly. Perhaps it was related to his discovery of his fiancée's empathy, or perhaps it was because he heard that his friend died in the monster wave. In short, when he came to the Sacred Mountains of the Wasteland, he did not think that he could survive, but he didn't expect that he not only survived, but also lived for more than 20 years.

In the past twenty years, Powell has submitted many transfer applications, hoping that the group can send someone to replace his plant, but the results are not satisfactory. Either the successor is too incompetent and messed up the matter, or the successor is too capable and trying to play a game of throne in the wasteland. The end result is that he has to continue to stay in the position of supervisor at the Holy Mountain Office.

This is nothing for Powell. Although more than 20 years have passed, he still has not adapted to the life of the Mosang Wasteland and is still extremely disgusted with the blood sacrifice rituals that massacre slaves at the shaman rituals of the Holy Mountain every year. However, he still likes the peaceful life of the Holy Mountain in the Wasteland Holy Mountain, because the special nature of the Holy Mountain makes the surrounding tribes not affect the Holy Mountain even if conflict breaks out.

But this time he felt a little different. On the surface, it seemed that it was just a small war caused by the conflict between the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turfur Tribe. However, with the addition of the Turfur Tribe, the small war between the two tribes has begun to gradually change towards the fire of war. In the past two days, not only the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turfur Tribe are asking him to buy various weapons, but even some other tribes that cannot participate in the war have secretly sent people to contact him to buy weapons and equipment.

This situation made Powell think of the period when the Wasteland tribes were divided north and south. That period seemed to be like the current situation where all tribes were purchasing a large amount of weapons and equipment, and the war that affected the entire Wasteland tribe was about to break out.

Faced with so many tribes that made weapons purchase requirements, Powell was completely caught off guard. The weapons in stock could not be supplied to so many orders, so he had to turn off most of them, and these orders eventually flowed into the hands of other downstream industrial group offices.

Although in terms of the power and excellence of weapons and equipment, the weapons manufactured by industrial groups are far from comparable to those manufactured by Duod Group, those weapons are defeated by sufficient quantity and cheap enough to quickly meet the needs of most tribes, thus allowing those industrial groups to expand their share of weapons sales, and several of them can already be on par with the offices of Duod Group.

Faced with this situation, Powell naturally wanted to suppress his opponent, but he could not come up with any way to suppress it now, because he knew very well that if he did not have enough goods on hand to meet the needs of those tribes, then the practice of suppressing those industrial group offices would be equivalent to offending most tribes in the southern wastelands, and he would be the one who was unlucky at that time.

So the only thing he can do now is to ask for help from the headquarters of Dodd Group, and ask the headquarters to dispatch a large amount of goods and personnel as soon as possible to retain the current share, and then consider the subsequent matters.

Now for Powell, the most important thing is time. If the war between the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turfur Tribe can be delayed, the headquarters will send enough manpower and send enough goods, and the lost order should be able to regain the position of the Dodd Group Office in the southern Holy Mountain Tribe.

But once the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turfur Tribe start war, there is not enough weapons supply in the office warehouse, then the thing he is most worried about will inevitably happen. It will be very difficult to catch orders from the offices of those industrial group forces afterwards.

Powell knew very well that there were very few things he could do, and the only thing he could do was delay the time when the steam train from Badisha arrived at the Holy Mountain.

Because whether it is the Holy Mountain, the Silver Moon Tribe and the Turfur Tribe, they all believe that the starting point of the conflict should be at the source of the conflict, Sobans.

Although Sobans is surrounded by hunting grounds of the Silver Moon Tribe, the permanent staff there are still good to resist the attack. It is still very difficult to get them to concentrate on attacking a big jungle city like Sobans.

Therefore, the steam trains transporting the Mercenary Corps from the Holy Mountain become intuitive and important, and the arrival time of the steam train can basically be regarded as the opening time of the countdown to the conflict.

For this reason, Powell specially used this sudden storm to sneak into the middle section of the railway and created several landslides. This was not too difficult for him. Moreover, the landslides were effective, and the train was delayed for several days, and the people who cleaned the landslides did not find anything unusual.

However, there are only a few places suitable for landslides on the entire railway line. If landslides are created in other places where landslides are not likely to occur, it may be easily seen through. Therefore, Powell did not use this method anymore. He could only watch the steam train arrive at the platform, and the mercenaries who had already prepared boarded the train one after another.

What Powell can do now is to continue to send urgent documents to the headquarters and ask the goods to be shipped as soon as possible. Otherwise, most of the markets of the Southern Tribal Alliance would really be handed over.

However, just as Powell ordered the servants carrying the sedan chair to return to the office, a pair of men and women who walked along the Circle Mountain Avenue from the train station, dressed completely different from those of the natives of other tribes around him immediately attracted his attention. After all, there were not many people who were going deep into the wasteland at this time.
