The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

For the ordinary people in the New Porto area, this month is definitely an unforgettable month, because too many things happened this month. A month ago, they were residents of the New Porto County of the Kuishan Confederate States. Now they have become the subjects of Bodo Kingdom.

Not long ago, the Kingdom of America and California issued a food embargo order to suppress the development of the New Porto area. Other countries in the Mozambique continent also resisted the New Porto area. Even the Kuishan Allies, which has the sovereignty of the New Porto County The country is also cooperating with the Kingdom of America to suppress New Porto County. The entire New Porta area gives people a feeling that there may be a catastrophe at any time.

At that time, people on the streets were panic-stricken. Many people who were able to leave chose to leave New Porto County temporarily to avoid being involved in unpredictable disasters, while others who could not leave They can only stay here in fear all day long, and only those Xinbodo people who immigrated from the Vinylon Continent are very firmly united around the Dodd Group to resist the coercion of the countries in the Mozambique Continent.

At that time, no one would have thought that the Dodd Group and the New Bodo area would have a turning point, not only because of the strength of the Kingdom of Galica, but also because all the countries in the Mozambique continent had always regarded the people in the New Bodo area as outsiders, even if there were very Close business relationship, but what happens will not stand with the new Porto area, and may even step on it, as it did at the time.

Therefore, it can be said that the New Bodo area at that time did not have any allies, and the entire Mozambique continent was an enemy, and there was no hope of victory at all.

However, under such an incomparably passive situation, the Xinbodo area reversed the whole situation with a series of incredible actions. First, it captured the Torch Harbor in a very short period of time, which solved the worries for the future, and then the security department of the Dodd Group The formed Bodo Army went directly southward. Relying on its unrivaled weapons and equipment and the quality of its soldiers, it took over the four counties of the Kuishan Allies in just a few days, and came all the way outside the capital of the Kuishan Allies.

Afterwards, with the support of a large number of reinforcements from the Kingdom of America and Canada, the Bodo Army, relying on the mutiny of the internal response, captured the capital of the Kuishan Allies with almost zero casualties, and completely destroyed the Kuishan Allies. Tolan Dodd, president of the Dodd Group, announced the establishment of the Bodo Kingdom directly in front of the Kuishan Confederate Congress Building, and set the time for enthronement.

Although the establishment of the Bodo Kingdom has boosted the morale of the people in the New Bodo area, the situation in the New Bodo area has not improved much. Many people think that the Kingdom of America will definitely send troops to attack the Kingdom of Bodo. A supporting army in the capital of the Shanxi Allied Powers also became a prisoner not long ago, and the Kingdom of America and California should not let the Kingdom of Porto go without reason.

But the subsequent development of things was beyond everyone's expectations. Although the Kingdom of America and Canada did send troops to gather at the border between the two countries, they did not let the troops attack the Kingdom of Bodo.

In addition, the Church of the Lord of the Sky also did not intervene in this matter according to the past practice. On the contrary, it seemed to have acquiesced in the fact that the Bodo Kingdom was established. The announcement will send people to attend.

These extremely abnormal reactions made some people who knew the situation aware of something, and sent people to Audorin to conduct some investigations, but before the investigation results came out, just two days ago, Audorin, who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Megalica, Together with the two surrounding border counties, they announced their separation from the Kingdom of America and joined the Kingdom of Porto. Also announced to join the Kingdom of Porto was the Sakt City-State Autonomous Alliance.

This series of changes not only stunned the people of the Bodo Kingdom, but also the people of other countries in the Mozambique continent, because as these lands were merged into the Bodo Kingdom, the land area of ​​the Bodo Kingdom suddenly leapt to It is the second place in the mainland of Mozambique.

The vast majority of people don't know how all this came about, why Audorin and the Saket city-state autonomous alliance broke away from the Megalica Kingdom, why the Megarica Kingdom didn't respond to this, they only felt that the establishment of the Bodo Kingdom And the expansion is like a miracle in ancient legends. Many people even think that this is the Lady of the Lake Church and the White Deer Church helping them secretly, because the people in the New Porto area are believers of the two churches, especially the White Deer Church. The church is a church founded by the new Bodo people, and it is jokingly called Bodo people's own church.

But for those dignitaries from all over the world who understand the actual situation and understand why the establishment of the Bodo Kingdom was so smooth, they have seen another power that influences the world situation. Although this power often appears in legends, it has always been Both were seen as exaggerations, and now they find they were wrong.

With the disappearance of the gods, the weakening of the power of the church, the development of the steam industry, and the establishment of various colleges, the extraordinary power can no longer affect the trend of the world. In addition, the governments of various countries deliberately cover up and tamper with the past. The history of the world situation, so that later generations regard that period of history as a fairy tale.

For example, the King of Knights once led twelve knights to annihilate more than 100,000 enemy troops, which has been regarded as a fabricated story to highlight the sanctity of the King of Knights. Even the royal family of the Faran Empire believed that such stories were It is fabricated, let alone the people at the bottom.

Only a small number of organizations and families that still retain various supernatural powers will think those stories are true, but even if they are true, they think the stories are a bit exaggerated, and still think that it is impossible for a person's supernatural power to change a person. the situation in the country.

But now, the establishment of the Bodo Kingdom made those insiders realize for the first time that those legends and legends are very likely to be true, because the facts are right in front of them, and the power of one or two people really appeared to change a The situation in a country, or even a continent.

The names of Sylvia Belmont and Leo Dodd once again became the object of everyone's attention. They were both in awe, fear, and more worried about these two people because they The power and influence shown has already made them feel like they are facing gods. Some people even feel that the age of mythology has come again.

These people will have the idea of ​​reappearing in the age of mythology, not just because Sylvia and Leo suppressed the amazing power of the Kingdom of America and the Church of the Lord of the Sky alone, but more because of the subtle influence of the people around them Propaganda, these propaganda forces are not only the propaganda force of the Dude Group, but also the cooperation of various True God Churches, Shaman Churches and underground forces.

These forces, especially the Church of the Lord of the Sky, which should be in a state of hostility to Leo and Sylvia, will spare no effort to promote the reappearance of the age of mythology, and the extraordinary power will become the main force affecting the secular forces, etc. , not to help Leo and Sylvia gain greater prestige and influence, they did it entirely for themselves.

Because with the advent of the age of mythology, the gods return, and the magical and powerful forces in ancient legends reappear in the world, the church and other underground forces will also regain their secular power that they lost after the gods disappeared in the past.

However, they are also very clear that those who hold power now are absolutely unwilling to let go of the power in their hands. They are likely to do something desperate when they find that the situation cannot be changed, and they will even delay The fully restored church perishes together, etc., it's all possible.

Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, the church and other forces must make some preparations in advance, starting from the bottom of the people, expanding their influence, so that the people begin to believe in the stories of ancient legends, believe that the gods are about to return, and then expand this from bottom to top. This kind of influence will eventually restrain some crazy people from making some irrational decisions at critical times.

It is also because these rumors have been spread consciously, so it also indirectly helped the Bodo Kingdom. When the Saket City-State Autonomous Alliance announced to join the Bodo Kingdom, some high-level city-states of the Autonomous Alliance originally resisted, but this resistance The situation didn't last long before disappearing by itself, and the resistance encountered by the officials of the Bodo Kingdom when they took over the Autonomous Alliance became much smaller. The same situation also appeared in Audorin and other places.

In addition, due to the changes in the current situation, various small countries in the Mozambique continent have also begun to let go of their conflicting policies and have begun to contact the Bodo Kingdom. Of the Kingdom of Panier, which has annexed part of the country, only the Kingdom of America and its dependent countries have no intention of participating in the enthronement ceremony, and they do not even intend to officially recognize the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Bodo, even though the establishment of the Kingdom of Bodo is already a fact.

However, this did not affect the Bodo Kingdom, because at least the Churches of the True God, such as the King of the Hill, the Lord of the Sky, the Lady of the Lake, and the White Deer, have recognized the legitimacy of the Bodo Kingdom. up.

For the Church of True God in the Mosang continent, the coronation ceremony to be held in the Bodo Kingdom in a few days is a good excuse to gather. Almost all the Churches of the True God gathered in Hope City, the capital of the Kingdom of Bodo. This is the first time in the history of the Mosang continent It has never happened before, so that the Orthodox Church who presided over this gathering proposed to make this kind of gathering of the Church of True God a norm.

It's just that the gatherings and exchanges between the Churches of True God are only the secondary purpose of these church leaders. The main reason why these church leaders who rarely travel far come to Hope City is to meet Leo Do De and Sylvia Belmont, asking about their plans, especially Leo.

Among these inquiries, the attitudes of each church are different. The inquiries of the Church of the Lord of the Sky are more questioning and resistance, the inquiries of the Church of the Hill King are to watch the fun, and the inquiries of the Lady of the Lake and the Church of the White Hart are to hope that Lei When Ou and Sylvia have the next move, they can know in advance and cooperate. As for the inquiries from other small churches, they are more concerned. The intimacy of the relationship between Asia and Leo.

However, no matter how poor the relationship with the Church of the Lord of the Sky, they have to admit that Leo and Sylvia have become important forces that control the situation in Mozambique, and even far surpass the church in terms of execution. It is no exaggeration to say that if the two intend to launch a war to unify the Mozambique continent at this time, then unless the two enter the Holy Land of the Lord of the Sky Church, the church will not be able to stop any action of the two.

However, after they came to City of Hope, they found that they couldn't find anyone they asked questions about. As for the answer they got when they asked the officials of City of Hope, they were received by Leo and Sylvia after the enthronement ceremony was over. At that time, the titles of Leo and Silvia had become Prince and Grand Duchess.

People in the church think that Leo and Silvia's move is entirely to see their behavior at the enthronement ceremony, and then decide the order and attitude of meeting them based on their behavior.

It's just that they didn't know that they were completely wrong. Leo and Sylvia didn't intend to pay attention to their attitude at all. The reason why they didn't meet the people from the church was because they had too many things at hand and they were too busy. No time for other things.

It's no wonder they are so busy. Originally, they only planned to take over Audorin and the two surrounding counties, and they had already dealt with the takeover. They didn't consider the ownership of the Sackett City-State Autonomous Alliance at all.

To their surprise, the Sackt City-State Autonomous Alliance turned out to be so unbearable. After the Odoline garrison assisted Clodesa to complete the defense against the mutated monsters, Clodesa announced in a high-profile way that he would join Odoline. Then Audorene announced that she would break away from the Kingdom of America and join the Kingdom of Porto.

When everything went according to Sylvia's plan, Sylvia thought that it would take some means and that it would take a month or two to prepare to win the Sakt City-State Autonomous Alliance, which followed closely behind Audrey. Announced to join the Bodo Kingdom together, and this announcement did not greet the Bodo Kingdom in advance.

Until the news reached Sylvia, Hope City had already sent people to accept the various city-states on the Sackett Plain, and even Sylvia felt that this might be a trap, until the various city-states of Sackett After handing over the military power, she was completely sure that the Sackett City-State Autonomous Alliance was really attached.

The unexpected behavior of the Sakt City-State Autonomous Alliance completely disrupted Sylvia's plan, because the various personnel and materials prepared in Sylvia's plan did not take the city-states of the Sakt Plain into consideration. It is as simple as controlling the army and taking over the regime, but it also involves a series of complicated policies such as subsequent policy trends, tax adjustments, and material supplies, and now the situation Leo and Sylvia are facing is that they have eaten too much meat. Choked.
