"Don't think wildly. Although we have some differences with the headquarters, the headquarters will not use this method to deal with us. If we are killed by these monsters, it will not be a good thing for the Autonomous Alliance." Crowe

Mayor Desa clapped his hands at this time, pulling everyone back from suspicion, and explained.

"Yes, yes! No, they won't do that." Others who were lucky enough also echoed.

Someone immediately gave another suggestion: "Whether it was done intentionally or not, we now need to seek help from the headquarters and surrounding towns."

This suggestion was very pertinent, and it immediately brought everyone in the council back to reality from their doubts, frustrations, fears, etc., and began to proceed step by step to defend against the mutant monsters.

The first is to increase the recruitment of the city defense army. It has been changed from young adults to all citizens. Anyone who can carry things must become a reserve. Although some people cannot directly go to the front line, they can

Deliver various supplies to frontline soldiers.

Although someone once proposed to send away the old, weak, women and children in the city to escape in nearby towns, this proposal was quickly rejected.

Because it takes a day and a half to get to the nearest town from Clodesa, which is still the time it takes to take a carriage. If you go on foot, the time will probably be doubled. It will be impossible to avoid the advance of the mutant monster wave in such a long time.

Moreover, there is a large area on this road that is a virgin forest, where a large number of beasts live. The probability of mutant monsters appearing there is very high. Once attacked by mutant monsters, the old, weak, women and children have no way to resist them.

But if someone is sent to escort, the defense here will inevitably weaken.

Therefore, instead of letting these old, weak, women and children risk leaving while reducing the city's defense combat effectiveness, it is better to keep these people and contribute to the city's defense.

But then the troublesome problem came again. After a member of the parliament who was also in charge of logistics quickly looked at the munitions documents submitted by the city defense army, he immediately said: "It is not enough. The weapons in the warehouse now are not enough to equip all the city defense troops.

"

"I remember a few years ago I eliminated a batch of old equipment and put it in the warehouse..." someone said immediately.

"Those old warehouses have been sold a long time ago." The logistics councilor immediately responded, saying: "The money sold was also used to build the city square."

"Damn square!" Many members of Congress present could not help but curse in their hearts.

"I remember that there were still several steam-pressing machines that could be used in the old factory, and there were some unused plates in the warehouse. We could use those materials to make some armors, weapons, etc." Another congressman suggested.

.

The logistics councilor immediately replied: "Yes, but with such armor and weapons, I'm afraid..."

As matters related to defending against the tide of mutant monsters gradually started to be discussed, everyone realized that it was very unrealistic to rely on Clodesa as a town to defend against the tide of mutant monsters. According to their estimation, they could at most survive the attack of the mutant monster wave.

Less than half a day.

This also caused many congressmen to start looking for an escape route for themselves when making pre-war arrangements.

"Why don't we ask for help from Odoline?" At this time, someone suddenly suggested.

The conference hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the proposer. This proposer was the director of the city's caravan and the richest businessman in the city. Although he rarely spoke in the council, his influence

But it's not low at all, so his words will quickly gain everyone's attention.

After the congressman made the suggestion, everyone couldn't help but think about it.

If it were at other times, this proposal would not have attracted anyone's attention, and naturally no one would consider the feasibility. But now, after some thinking, everyone feels that this proposal may be their last straw.

Life-saving straw.

Although Odoline and Clodesa are only separated by a narrow mountain range, it only takes half a day to reach them in a straight line, but because of the dangerous terrain in the middle, Tebas Mountain and Teba Mountain are like a high wall that reaches into the clouds.

The barrier of the mountain ridge has almost cut off the connection between the two. It is not possible for ordinary people to cross to the other side. Moreover, because the towering mountains and steep slopes are extremely difficult to climb and walk, the required time to cross the mountain is very difficult.

The time has also been extended exponentially.

It may only take less than ten days to bypass Mount Tebas and enter the Odolin area, but the time required to cross Mount Tebas to the other side may only be twenty or thirty days. This is still a matter for experienced climbers and

If an ordinary person were to climb over the time it took the adventurer, this number would probably be multiplied several times.

It is precisely because of such a natural barrier that Clodesa has no fear of being invaded by Odoline, whether in the past period of the Panir Kingdom or in the current period of the City-State Autonomous Alliance.

However, this situation changed not long ago, because the Tebas ridge that blocked both sides like a high wall collapsed with a crack. The crack extended from the top of the mountain to the gentle area on the mountainside. From a distance, it looked like

The crack is very narrow and looks like an inconspicuous gap, but if you look closely, you will find that the crack is very wide, so wide that at least five steam trains can run parallel to it.

Before Clodesa, or the City-State Autonomous Alliance, could react, Odolin's garrison had already passed through the cracks and arrived at the Sackett Plains, and was moving at an unimaginable speed.

A huge castle was built in two days.

When Clodesa received the news, the castle had been completely completed. The people they sent to the castle were driven away by the Odolin garrison before they could get close, and they had no chance to inspect the castle.

The situation inside can only be judged from the size of the castle's outer walls. The castle can accommodate at least five thousand troops inside.

After that, the news was passed to the Autonomous Alliance Headquarters. So far, Clodesa has not received the relevant handling methods and the Alliance Headquarters officials who came to handle the matter. He only received the proposal made at the latest meeting of the Alliance Headquarters.

Restructuring proposal.

If you think about it carefully, perhaps the decision of the Autonomous Alliance to reorganize is related to the sudden appearance of this ridge crack and Odolin's troops stationed on the crack. Because of the loss of the natural barrier of the Tebas Ridge, in order to deal with the Kingdom of America's

The two border defense lines have lost their effect, and the entire central part of the Sackett Plain has become an undefended area. It does not require too many people. It only needs 10,000 troops who are proficient in siege warfare to rush in. Then Odolin

The garrison can easily directly attack the large cities in the center of the Autonomous Alliance.

It's not that the senior leaders of the Autonomous Alliance don't trust their own strength, but that the weapons, financial resources and troops controlled by Odolin, an important industrial town, are far beyond what the Autonomous Alliance can match. Even the Kingdom of America and California has been unable to control Odolin for so many years.

Doreen can only allow Odoline to remain autonomous, which shows how strong Odoline's military power is.

Therefore, the Autonomous Alliance now urgently needs to unite all forces, end this loose city-state alliance, and train a sufficiently powerful military force in a short period of time.

Although he did not receive further instructions from the alliance headquarters, Clodesa still sent some people to check the situation in the castle, and also found that someone from the alliance patrol team belonging only to the headquarters was also secretly observing.

From the results of observations, we can know that there are actual troops stationed in the castle, and they are all equipped with sophisticated equipment. According to the spies, even an ordinary logistics soldier in the castle is equipped with weapons produced by the Dodd Group.

The mechanical repeating crossbow looks like it is preparing to do something to the Dosakt Plains.

If it had been before the swarm of mutant monsters appeared, what the city councilors of Clodesa were discussing in the conference hall might have been how to resist Odoline's invasion, but now they are more thinking about how to obtain Odoline.

Support, because with the military strength in that castle, as long as they cooperate properly, it is not difficult to eliminate an attack by a group of mutant monsters. Now what the members here need to consider is what price to pay, and there is not much time left for them to think about it.

.

"How about we join Odoline?" Someone immediately suggested: "Since the Autonomous Alliance cannot help us, we can withdraw from the alliance and join Odoline, just like what we did back then."

Someone else said worriedly: "But if we join Odolin, we will definitely encounter opposition from the Autonomous Alliance, and they will definitely send troops. What will we do then?"

Although they are worried about the reaction of the Autonomous Alliance, this person has no objection to joining Odolin. It is obvious that they have already considered it when they were thinking about it just now. After all, the only one who can save them now is Odolin's army.

, as long as they can survive this wave of mutated monsters, they will be willing to pay any price, even if it means changing their family.

"As long as we have Odolin's support, why do we have to worry about the Autonomous Alliance's army? We can get more, more powerful and sophisticated weapons directly from Odolin, and we don't need to worry about the Autonomous Alliance's army at all."

Someone began to think about the problem from the perspective of joining Odolin, and this person was none other than the young councilor who had previously questioned the restructuring.

Seeing that this young congressman had already expressed his attitude, other congressmen who shared the same concept of the young man's hospital and had good relations with him also stood up and agreed.

Seeing that the congressmen's ideas were becoming the same, the mayor also began to think about the problem according to this idea, saying: "The question is what does Odolin think? Just that we decided to join Odolin is not enough, we also need Odolin's side

idea?"

"I might be able to help." At this time, the old congressman who used to work as a logistics officer said, "I can contact people from the Dodd Group."

"Contact someone from the Dodd Group?" Many members of Congress here looked confused. They were talking about joining Odoline in exchange for Odoline's troops to support Clodesa, but now they suddenly changed to saying

Contacting the Dodd Group made people completely confused as to what the other party meant. Many people wondered if the other party was old and confused. Otherwise, how could they get involved with the Dodd Group, which had nothing to do with Odolin?

However, after hearing what the old councilor said, some of them looked thoughtful and nodded slightly, including the mayor.

When everyone in the conference hall was still in a daze, Mayor Clodesa ordered the old councilor: "Since this is troubling you, please contact Dodd Group immediately to get support as soon as possible.

.”

After hearing this, the old congressman walked out of the conference hall under the suspicious gazes of everyone, boarded the carriage waiting outside, and drove towards somewhere in the city.

"It seems that this old guy has already made his choice." After the old councilor left, the mayor whispered to the people around him, with a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

At this time, people in the conference hall who knew the actual situation of Odolin began to explain the decision just now to others, and the faces of those who heard the explanation also showed a look of sudden realization. At the same time, some people who were sensitive to the current situation were even more concerned.

I thought something big might happen.

For some insiders, although Odoline still belongs to the Kingdom of America in name only, and the managers of Odoline are still the city council and the city government, in fact, the people who really control Odoline have become multiple people.

Germany Group.

No one knows exactly what happened. They just know that almost overnight, the Dodd Group, which was originally rejected and boycotted by the Odoline City Council and the city government, became the actual controller of Odoline. Those who opposed Dodd

The Odoline dignitaries of the group were all sent to prison for various unmistakable criminal cases. Most of their properties were confiscated. Their original positions were all replaced by people who were pro-Dodd group, and some positions were even replaced.

For example, the commander of the garrison was directly appointed by someone from the Dodd Group.

The Dodd Group does all this without any cover-up. It is completely displayed in front of everyone who pays attention to these things, as if to say to everyone, I have controlled Odolin so simply and directly, what can you do?

?

Many people believe that even if the Kingdom of America cannot respond in time to the Dodd Group's actions, the church and shamanism that occupy Odolin's power should do something.

But the actual situation shocked everyone. It was as if these two powerful forces couldn't see what the Dodd Group was doing. They didn't react at all. It felt like they had acquiesced in the Dodd Group's notice to Odolin.

Naturally, some people will look for the reason for this weird situation, and those who know the underground world or the extraordinary world will unanimously place this reason on the two actual controllers of the Dodd Group, one is the first witch Sylvie

Belmont, and the other one is Leo Dodd, the tower wizard.

Although it is not clear how the two of them allowed the True God Church and the Shaman Church to turn a blind eye to their actions, it can be guessed that all this is probably related to the strength of the two people, which means that the two have the strength to suppress the True God Church and the Shaman Church.
