The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Who will I entrust to do it?" After locking down the cultists to be dealt with, Sylvia began to think about who to ask for this task.

"How about I go?" Leo suggested.

Sylvia shook her head and said: "If even some cultists need you to take action, it will appear that we have too few talents in the Bodo Kingdom, and the occasion for you to do so should not be such a small place, and the number of times you do so is not enough. Should be too much, keep it mysterious, it will help increase your deterrence."

Leo didn't ask, but after thinking about it, he said, "Where's Su?"

Sylvia shook her head again, and said: "I have asked Su to lead some of the witches back to Adoline to sit in charge first. Although there is no possibility of any changes over there, there must be a strong enough Transcendent to sit in charge. Okay, so that some people don't want to make trouble."

"Let Lawrence!" Leo suggested again.

Sylvia still shook her head, and said: "To be honest, after returning from the wasteland, I don't trust that guy a little bit, and there are several high-ranking cult leaders on the list who have unusual relationships with him, so it's hard to guarantee that they will not There will be some shady deal, if you are free, go to Bran Forest to meet him, I hope to get a definite answer from him, such as whether Rupert Fitz is still alive or in the wasteland."

Leo nodded and said, "In this case, I'll go to Bran Forest later, and I just want to meet the laboratory you built there."

"That's fine, but it's best for Emily to take you there. If you go there alone, it might be a little troublesome." Sylvia nodded in agreement with Leo's proposal, added something, and then returned to On the topic, he said: "I actually want the special forces team you established to solve this matter."

"Special Forces?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts: "They have not been formed for a long time. Although they have been instilled with enough combat awareness through special methods, they have not completed the most basic training after all. Let them carry out the training." There may be some problems with this mission, and there may be some unnecessary casualties."

When he was in Audorin, Leo had considered the overall security of the Porto Kingdom after he and Sylvia left. Although the First Witch and the tower provide extraordinary protection, and there are a large number of well-equipped troops as support, but When dealing with some special things, the combat power of the Bodo Kingdom was still somewhat flawed, so he felt that a special force should be established for Tolan to deal with various crisis situations. People are leading the biochemical special forces.

Although the name is a special force, it is actually a complete military department. The number of people in this department ranges from more than one hundred to several thousand. The missions performed are all kinds of front-line combat missions. Special missions in cooperation with other security services.

Leo started as an ordinary cyborg soldier in this special force, gradually improved, and finally became the commander of this special force, so he knows the structure and personnel training of the special force well.

However, this is not the Earth Federation after all, and it cannot be formed completely according to the structure of the biochemical special forces, and the most important point is that the biochemical warriors will not be afraid of death, nor will they have the idea of ​​betrayal, and there will be no various Complicated emotions, so many rules of the special forces are extremely anti-human. If they are really copied completely, I am afraid that before the construction of the special forces is completed, all the participants will either die or escape.

Therefore, Leo greatly reduced the training criteria of the special forces, and in order to achieve results in a short period of time, he also used the knowledge instillation method of the Earth Federation to instill all the knowledge of special tactical skills, combat awareness, etc. The recruited people have their brains in their hands, and then use high-intensity training to let them absorb this knowledge.

If it was in the past, it would have been difficult for Leo to complete this kind of mass instillation of knowledge, but now with the assistance of the Wizard Tower, things have become much easier, and he can also increase some knowledge while instilling knowledge. The hint of loyalty, even if the members of these special forces cannot become the most loyal fighters in the Bodo Kingdom, at least it can prevent them from being in danger of betrayal.

The number of the newly formed special forces team is not very large, only 149 people, which is 51 people less than the 200 people Leo expected. It does not mean that there are not many people who want to join the special forces team. When the wizard tower issued the recruitment announcement, more than 20,000 people signed up.

The reason why so many people sign up is because Sylvia used some tough methods to get rid of some die-hards when controlling Audorin, and these die-hards were all big merchants and factory owners of Audorin , Their demise also implicated the industries they controlled. Although the Aodorine government later took over these industries and did some things to stabilize the industries, many people still lost their jobs.

In addition, no matter how dull people are, they can see that the Dodd Group has become the actual controller of Audorin. Joining the Dodd Group is equivalent to having a guarantee of life, so after Audorin's people see the announcement, no matter Whether you are unemployed or not, you will choose to try your luck. In addition, people in the surrounding towns also learned about this, and with the same idea, they rushed to the branch of the Odorin Dodd Group to try their luck.

Although there were as many as 20,000 people, after a series of tests and screenings, Leo only found 149 suitable candidates. Strength, the potential to become an extraordinary person, and the mental strength to withstand the indoctrination of knowledge, and the most important point is not to have any power background.

Although only one hundred and forty-nine were found, which was less than expected, Leo was still very satisfied with this number, because it was enough for a special operations team to weave.

Afterwards, Leo instilled knowledge in these people through the wizard tower, and also specially created a set of system equipment for them to deal with various combat situations. When he returned to Hope City, he also brought this pair of people over and intervened Their training, in less than a month, has allowed this special warfare team to train in style.

The reason why Sylvia thought of using this pair of troops was mainly because she saw in a simulation exercise conducted by Leo that ordinary people who were workers and refugees not long ago had turned into elite fighters. In the play, only two casualties were exchanged for the amazing record of annihilating more than a thousand soldiers in the security department of the Dodd Group.

Although the main reason for this record is still relying on the set of strange equipment that Leo specially customized for these people, which is both offensive and defensive, and capable of sneak detection, and the wizard potion prepared by Leo to stimulate the blood potential of these people, but it is undeniable that these One of the main reasons is that people have gradually integrated their combat awareness and skills.

It's just that the drill is a drill after all, no matter how good the drill is, it can't prove the strength of this team without actual combat verification.

Therefore, Sylvia hopes to see the performance of this team, and if possible, she will try to incorporate the training method of this team into the military structure system of the Bodo Kingdom.

Sylvia expressed her thoughts and said: "I hope to see their combat strength as soon as possible so that we can recruit suitable candidates across the country. Some casualties are inevitable, and we can make up for them later."

Seeing that Sylvia had made a decision, Leo didn't say anything more, and directly copied the targets marked by Sylvia, and then sealed it in an envelope, and asked the attendant outside the door to hand the envelope to The captain of the Special Forces conducting latent training in the forest outside the Deer Park.

"Do you need me to order the following to cooperate?" Sylvia asked again.

Leo shook his head and said, "No need, I also want to see how far their abilities can go."

After solving this matter, Leo planned to get up and go to Bran Forest. Sylvia immediately notified Emily through the universal recorder. After a while, Emily wrote back saying that she was already outside the deer park. up.

After Leo left the Deer Park Temple, he went straight to the confession pond in the northwest corner of the Deer Park. It was originally just a small pond, and the water in the pond was formed by the streams from the nearby mountains. Because Bailu used to drink water here, it became a lot more sacred. Later, there were rumors that the water here can wash away people's sins, and finally became the place where the clergy of the White Deer Church performed confession ceremonies. .

When Leo came to the confession pool, Emily was standing by the pool, and there were several tall deer standing beside her, and riding equipment such as saddles were placed on the backs of the deer. , it seems to be going to ride these deer to Bran Forest's laboratory.

After seeing Leo, Emily didn't say much, and turned over to a deer next to her, and Leo also got on the other side. Emily yelled, and the two deer spread their hooves as if they knew the way. , Drilled into the forest and ran towards the depths of the Bran Forest.

Compared with the little girl whose family was sacrificed back then, Emily is now a lot more mature, and her ability is also very good under Sylvia, otherwise she would not be allowed to experiment in Bran Forest In the office as the next-level supervisor.

Although she is still very grateful to Leo, after all, after so many years, the relationship is naturally not very good. It is almost a replica of Leo and Tolan, which is inexplicably awkward.

In this embarrassing atmosphere, the two of them were speechless all the way, and walked silently. After walking for about an hour, they came to the foot of a mountain.

I saw that this mountain is a lone peak, surrounded by cliffs, and the top has been converted into houses, and even a part of the mountain near the top has been dug out of some houses, and you can see windows, balconies, etc. facility.

Before approaching the mountain, Leo sensed through the spiritual network that there are a large number of fighters hidden around the mountain. These fighters are not ordinary fighters, because he can sense that the breathing and heartbeat of these fighters seem to be at the same frequency, which should be Some kind of remodeled warrior.

Emily seemed to know what Leo was thinking now, and when she got off the deer's back, she took the initiative to introduce: "The person in charge of guarding the laboratory is a reformed soldier who has only been researched in the laboratory in recent years, because it has not been successful yet. , there are many defects, so there is no name, they are mainly responsible for the safety of the laboratory, and regularly clean up the mutated monsters around the laboratory."

Emily's introduction was very simple, and she didn't seem to intend to elaborate on the flaws and advantages of these reformed fighters, and Leo didn't intend to ask, because these reformed fighters were indeed failures in his eyes, and there was no need to understand them.

The two came to an elevator device at the bottom of the mountain. Emily pressed the switch next to the device, and then a spark flashed, and she heard the device start to work.

Although things like electricity had already appeared in Velen Continent decades ago, and some electricity-driven equipment was built in places like Cage City, things like electricity are still not popularized in all countries until today, and Related equipment not only did not develop, but went backwards.

The reason for this situation is not only because of some other man-made resistance, such as those factory owners who produce various steam devices, etc., but more importantly, because after the year of fog disaster, the power rules of this world seem to appear There are some abnormalities, it becomes extremely unstable, and inexplicable electric leakage often occurs, and every electric leakage will produce an electromagnetic explosion-like phenomenon, resulting in astonishing losses and casualties, and finally makes the use of electricity in various countries become extra cautious and even contradictory .

Now the transportation elevator in the laboratory does not only rely on electricity to maintain its operation. For example, although the elevator in front of you uses electricity, the elevator itself contains some extraordinary power, and it is these extraordinary power that make the elevator Otherwise, the moment Emily pressed the button just now would no longer be an electric spark, but an electromagnetic explosion powerful enough to destroy the entire device.

After the elevator fell, the two climbed up. This time, there was no need to press the switch, but after waiting for a while, the elevator automatically rose slowly, and soon came to the lifting platform on the top of the mountain.

At this time, there were already two people standing on the platform, almost all old acquaintances. One was of course the blood wizard Lawrence. His appearance hadn't changed much from before, but his whole person had become more gloomy and stronger. , and it seems that there are signs of losing control, because through the eyes of reality, one can see that there is a constant force bursting out of him and dissipating in the air.

The other one is Jean Valjean. Although he did not follow Sylvia to the Mozambique continent, he was rescued after the mist disaster and brought to the New Porto area, where he was appointed by Sylvia as the Casting Supervisor at Dodd Group.

The Dodd Group's achievements today have a lot to do with him, because he is the only one who can interpret the industrial designs left by Leo and make similar objects. Now almost half of the products sold by the Dodd Group are From his hand.
