Although the fighting has stopped in Miria City for more than two months, the last United Kingdom army was wiped out in the Dibia Forest on the outskirts of Miria City ten days ago. So far, no one has been found north of the Dibia Mountains.

Less than a full United Kingdom army.

The chaos caused by the war did not end there. On the contrary, because of the deliberate connivance and arrangements of the French Empire, the chaos in Milia City became even more serious than during the war.

In the past few months since Miria City turned into a lawless place, hundreds of gang organizations, large and small, have sprung up from the ground like mushrooms after a spring rain, and then divided the entire Miria City into areas like drawing a map.

There are dozens of areas, large and small. In order to seize the few resources, they fight for each other and kill each other. Almost every day, hundreds of people die in this kind of fighting.

However, although these gang organizations are the largest group of forces in Miria City, when it comes to being the strongest force, they are obviously not qualified to be scattered.

There are two forces that now control the situation in Miria City. One force controls the smuggling channels, a black market with unfathomable strength. When Miria City was banned by the French Empire army, controlling the smuggling channels was equivalent to

Due to controlling the livelihood of millions of people in Miria City, if the black market had not continued to smuggle all kinds of food and medicine into Miria City, I am afraid that the order of Miria City would have completely collapsed by now.

In addition to the black market, a big force that lurks underground and makes money silently, there is another force hidden underground in Miria City. Although everyone has heard of the name of this force, no one has ever known how big this force is.

, how many people control it, this force is the Miria Freedom Front.

The Miria Freedom Front emerged when the United Kingdom withdrew from Miria City. When Miria City was bombed by airships and completely destroyed, the Freedom Front also stood up to rectify and rescue the refugees in the city. This made Miria City

The post-war casualties of the residents were controlled to less than 1,000, which is a miracle.

Because the Freedom Front appeared just when the United Kingdom was withdrawing from Miria City, some people initially believed that the Freedom Front was a pawn left by the United Kingdom in Miria City to contain the Imperial Army.

But as the Freedom Front put forward its own slogan and did several major things, the halo of the United Kingdom completely disappeared, and it was honored to be listed as one that must be destroyed by both the French Empire and the United Kingdom.

On the wanted list.

The external slogan and proposition of the Freedom Front is to establish a free and independent Republic of Milia. They believe that the United Kingdom abandoned the city of Milia before the war officially started, which means that it has completely lost the city of Milia.

sovereignty, while the French Empire is an invader and a massacre of the people of Miria City, and is not qualified to control Miria City. Only the Miria people themselves can control Miria City.

At first, everyone thought that the slogan of the Freedom Front was just a word, just to have a legitimate reputation and control the city of Milia that has now become chaotic, just like those gangsters.

However, what happened later made everyone realize that they were wrong. The Freedom Front really wanted to build a Republic of Milia, because they combined the French Empire and the United Kingdom in the city of Miria without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.

All the secret outposts and spies were eradicated, and they even robbed the arsenals of the two countries on the front line of the Dibia Mountains.

Although both countries hate the people of the Freedom Front and want to pull out this nail, the strength of the Freedom Front is too strong. Anyone sent by the two countries to Milia City will eventually fall into the sea and lose everything.

The news, including the Imperial Secret Service, a special department formed by family members and other supernormal forces, suffered a lot in Miria City.

The reason why the Freedom Front is so difficult to exterminate is mainly because no one knows who the members of the Freedom Front are. There is only one public member of the Freedom Front, and the others are all hidden underground. Maybe a certain garrison soldier is a member of the Freedom Front, and

Maybe it's a gang leader. In short, the Freedom Front is completely hidden among the residents of Miria City. Unless all the residents are killed, there is no way to eliminate the Freedom Front.

Some people have also thought about using the only member of the Freedom Front whose identity has been disclosed as a breakthrough, because many signs indicate that this person whose identity has been disclosed should be the supreme leader of the Freedom Front. As long as he is captured or killed, it will definitely cause a heavy blow to the Freedom Front.

A blow that even caused it to collapse.

However, this openly identified member of the Freedom Front is not an ordinary person. He is none other than Chief Inspector Ljungberg Weai, who has received the highest imperial medal and has great reputation and power in both the light and dark circles of Miria City.

When Milia City was still under the control of the United Kingdom, Ljungberg Weai had been appointed by the United Kingdom Parliament as the Minister of Police and Chief of Police. He was one of the people who truly held real power in the United Kingdom. Police officers from various police stations in the United Kingdom

Nearly half of the police chiefs came from his disciples, and for positions above the chief, such as chiefs, the proportion will be even higher. He can be said to be the father of the police in the United Kingdom.

However, such an important figure who held real power did not leave with the United Kingdom when they withdrew from Milia City. He disappeared directly after handling the last official documents. At that time, some people thought that he had been captured by the Empire.

agents were assassinated.

But as the city of Miria was destroyed by the war, Ljungberg Weai stood up again as a member of the Freedom Front, and his first appearance was also very amazing, because he bombed the city of Miria in an airship.

The pilot, the front-line commander General Bart who gave the order, and the entire front-line combat staff were all assassinated. Fifty-three people were assassinated, and no one survived.

It was precisely because of this incident that the French Imperial Army was unable to penetrate the United Kingdom's defense line in the Dibia Mountains and enter the southern end of the mountains. That's why people at the time thought that the Freedom Front was a nail planted by the United Kingdom.

However, Ljungberg Weai then led some members of the Freedom Front with hidden identities to raid the United Kingdom's secret base hidden underground in Miria City, killing more than thirty United Kingdom spies and agents, and completely destroying the United Kingdom.

It took the United Kingdom's intelligence organization in the north to realize that the Freedom Front slogan was more than just words.

Although both countries had sent professional killers and assassins to capture or assassinate Ljungberg Weai, and even posted bounties on the black market and used bounty hunters to hunt down Ljungberg Weai, they were ultimately unsuccessful.

, Ljungberg Weai is still alive and well, and will appear in public every once in a while to give some public speeches.

Leo himself didn't know much about Miria City. Now that Miria City has become so chaotic, the experience and information Leo accumulated during his stay in Miria City are obviously no longer of use. He thought

To find the whereabouts of the Ring of Plague in these ruins, we can only rely on local snakes.

Just as the Issay Society thought, although it should be much easier to use the black market to find the Plague Ring, the black market cannot be trusted at all. Looking for them will undoubtedly deliver the goods to your door.

Now in the entire Miria City, Ljungberg Weai is definitely one of the people who least wants problems with the Ring of Plague. And he has great influence among ordinary civilians in Miria City. He is the eyes and ears of the Freedom Front.

There are also a lot of them. With his help in searching, Leo can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, Ljungberg Weai's whereabouts are also elusive, and it will take some effort for Leo to find him. Fortunately, Ljungberg will definitely do one thing, and that is to go to the largest refugee area in Miria City to give a public speech.

Although Leo already knew the current situation of Miria City from the information provided by Sylvia, and he also saw the current situation of the city full of desolation while walking from the suburbs to the city, but after seeing this

When he couldn't see the refugee town beyond, he, who already had ordinary human emotions, still couldn't recognize that he was a little bit sad.

This refugee area used to be a religious area and a foreign consulate area. Leo still remembers the feeling when he first entered Milia City, when the train passed through this area, and when he saw so many buildings with different styles from various countries.

Shocking and novel.

At that time, this urban area was definitely the most beautiful scenery in Milia City. Anyone could appreciate the customs and customs from all over the world without leaving the urban area. Various religious buildings stood in it, blending together in perfect harmony. There was no other place.

Conflicts caused by religious ideas.

But now, those majestic religious buildings, those consulate buildings with the customs of various countries, and the living areas for consulate staff have all turned into rubble. Houses made of rubble and rotten wood are chaotically built on these once-made buildings.

It is an exquisite and majestic building that makes people feel inexplicably sad when recalling the glory of the past.

Now Leo has to find a contact person in this refugee area. Because of the Freedom Front, the main eyes and ears of the United Kingdom in the city have been taken care of by Ljungberg Weai, and only a few people in the suburbs are still stationed safely.

with various underground bases.

So for the Ring of Plague mission, Sylvia had to use her own men. Now this man is a gang leader in the refugee area. He has a certain amount of power and can bring some help to Leo's investigation.

Before Leo entered the city, he had already put on some disguises, such as distressing his clothes, adding more dust to his face, etc., and then carrying a package full of various garbage materials on his back, making him look like other scavengers.

There is no difference.

When we entered the refugee city, although we were noticed by some scavenger groups guarding the entrance to the city because of our strong bodies and received some invitations, overall the process was very peaceful and we did not encounter any unsightly people.

guy.

After entering the city, Leo did not rush to go to Sylvia's gang. Instead, like other scavengers, he found a purchasing point with a black market background and sold all the debris he picked up.

Although the things Leo picked up from some houses in the villa area were all useless garbage in his eyes, in the eyes of some people, these things became treasures. One of them had a slightly damaged statue of a famous artist.

The sculpture actually sold for 80 underground coins.

Because when the United Kingdom was established, all currencies across the country were exchanged, so the residents of Milia City did not have the currency of the French Empire on hand at all, and the currency of the United Kingdom was useless at this time, so they controlled the channels for the entry and exit of a large number of materials.

The black market united with gangs and other organizations to establish a new temporary currency, underground currency.

The underground currency is not divided into several grades like other currencies. For example, the currency of the French Empire has three main grades: gold flange, bia, and masso. It is more like a cash check issued on the black market. Write the amount on the note.

The amount is stamped with a special stamp, and then this note can be exchanged for items of equal value in the black market and any commercial institution under the name of the gang.

Although the underground currency was only created a few months ago, it has gradually become the commonly used currency in Miria City. Even the official merchants of the French Empire who come to trade with the scavengers of Miria City will also pay the underground currency.

Eighty points of underground coins are equivalent to three gold flanges in the past. In the underground black market, you can buy all the rations required by a family of five for three months. It is definitely a huge sum of money in the current refugee city, and with other purchases

Rubbish, Leo currently has as many as 116 underground coins on hand.

Putting such a huge sum of money on one person will naturally attract the attention of some people, but even if Leo goes to some remote places, no one dares to snatch it, because these people regard Leo as that kind of lone traveler.

In order to snatch the treasures buried in the ruins, the scavengers started fighting individually, then cooperated with each other, and now they have formed into gang-like groups. They divided the ruins in the entire city into parts, and each

Controlling an area reduces unnecessary casualties.

But among the scavengers, there are still some powerful loners. Most of them act alone, looking for useful materials in areas controlled by other scavenger organizations.

There have been conflicts between scavenger organizations and lone travelers in the past. Although the lone travelers were besieged and killed by a large number of scavengers in the end, the scavenger organization also suffered heavy losses and was attacked by hostile organizations. In the end, not only was the ruined area it controlled lost, but

Even the organization has been annexed.

Therefore, in the refugee area, various gangs and scavenger organizations have another unwritten code of conduct, not to easily provoke those loners.

After leaving the black market purchase point, Leo, who was a lone traveler, went directly to an underground market opened by the nearby black market.

Although the name is an underground market, it is actually open above ground. The various items traded here are no different from those in other cities. As long as you have money, you can buy anything. In terms of types of supplies, even

It surpassed the Logistics Department of the French Empire.
