The Qiao family guards had pale faces, and their foreheads were filled with sweat. These magnetic energy vehicles had no intention of stopping. They wandered around the simple fortifications and raised a large area of ​​dust on the ground. The purpose of the other party showing off their military power was very obvious: the guards had only two sand basins, and the double-barrel cannons on the roof of the car were also aimed at the target with black muzzles. This made the guards feel the threat that was close at hand, and they no longer had the courage to resist.

The heavy truck convoy in the distance gradually approached, and their ruts were extremely deep, crushing the "road" with clear patterns on the ground. A silver off-road vehicle with a luxurious appearance drove out, and the surrounding armed levitators also stopped one after another. Many people holding weapons and wearing standard combat uniforms got off the car. They gathered around the silver off-road vehicle to form a circle with tight protection.

The car door opened, and walked down one by one, but his body looked very thin, and he looked cunning, and his eyes released a greedy look at him at any time. His clothes were very luxurious, with a beautiful blue crystal brooch on his chest, and his leather boots were polished brightly. Even if he stepped on the mud, the splashed dirty water would not stick to the leather surface of the boots, but slowly slid down the smooth boot barrel, still revealing a special black luster.

There were too many people on the other side. Looking around, there were more people coming down from the heavy truck that was constantly arriving behind. It was not just a few dozen or hundreds, but a few thousand.

The captain of the Qiao family's guard was a man with a solid figure. He seemed at a loss and didn't know how to face it. After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage, stood up from behind Shalei, and asked loudly at the middle-aged man who was surrounded by many armed personnel: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man who walked off the silver off-road vehicle glanced at him and showed a look of extreme boredom. Next to him, a man in a black uniform, who seemed to be a housekeeper, strided forward and replied in a graceful voice: "My master is the noble Earl of Thomas. From now on, everything here will be taken over by us. You have ten minutes to leave."

The guard captain instinctively wanted to refuse, but the man in black did not give him a chance to speak again. He directly said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Now start time, and as soon as the time comes, start attacking immediately."

The strength of the two sides was not equal at all. In such a huge gap, the people in Shalei lasted for less than three minutes, and then took the initiative to leave the fortifications, carrying some simple food and weapons, and headed towards the direction leading to the empire's domestic territory.

"A bunch of timid mercenaries"

Looking at these figures gradually fading away, Count Toma, who was wrapped in a fur coat, sprayed two air conditioners from his nostrils disdainfully. Although it was still autumn, the temperature here was much lower than that in the empire. The sunlight and warmth left earlier than usual. Count Toma was very uncomfortable and did not like this cold current that came too early.

Duke Marvin's plan was very careful. In order to seize Su Hao's space field, the Duke did show amazing strength. Earl Thomas did not know much about his secret contact with the dark world. However, as one of the three other congressmen invited by Duke Marvin, Thomas did bear the heavy responsibility.

Although Qiao Heng is a pervert and madman, he has a good vision and chose a very appropriate position to use it as a family armed stronghold. Earl Thomas also took a fancy to this place. He originally thought that if the guards wanted to give up the place, it would take a lot of trouble and saliva, and even a small-scale battle might break out. However, nothing of the imagined happened, and he easily achieved his goal. Humph, the name of my Count Thomas is too loud, and these fools and idiots are not as stupid as they seem on the surface. I hate blood and corpses, but I do not object to killing a few more people when necessary.

This place will become a new human settlement. Under the joint consultation between Duke Marvin, Marquis Solius and Marquis of King Hejun, it was named "Oviado".

The emergence of this new city has extremely important special significance to Count Thomas.

Whether it is power or wealth, Count Thomas is at the last place among the four secret congressmen. In fact, before Marquis Solius sent an invitation, Count Thomas knew nothing about Su Hao's space field. He had never even thought about anything like robbing. But it is undeniable that with Marquis Solius' introduction to this matter and knowing more details, Count Thomas's originally stable heart also became bigger and bigger and expanded rapidly under the stimulation of greed and jealousy.

Yes, that guy named Suha, just a civilian and a civilian

The law of the empire is indeed sacred and inviolable. But everyone knows that the law is truly governed and the people who truly fear the law is actually the imperial civilians who account for the majority of the ruled. The nobles have their own dignity and ancient honors. Every noble, including the Earl of Thomas, is an important figure. We should have occupied more and obtained more in disputes of interest. A precious gem should not be held by the civilians. They can get gold coins and have more than one million wealth, but truly precious treasures will always belong to the nobles.

Before Duke Marvin appeared, Count Thomas did not know that he was the real mastermind of the plan. As things progressed, Count Thomas gradually guessed why he was selected? Why did he become one of the four secret congressmen?

The Duke's plan is divided into several aspects, among which the link for Konoha Town is to make that town a dead land. Because once a space converter is set, it cannot be changed. Taking Su Hao's first entry into the space realm as an example, his landing point was in a remote mountain range, and he could only connect to the main world at that location. This is equivalent to a line thrown out in the void. Although it has a rough range of landing points, you cannot control the exact coordinates of the first landing point. Once it is settled, the connection between the main world and the space realm will be generated. This channel will always exist between the remote mountain range and Konoha Town, and no one can change it.

Of course, you can also choose another new connection channel. The safest way is to use the "Iron Warriors" legion as the starting site of the main world and connect it to that space field for the second time. This approach is quite dangerous and also contains a lot of unknown factors. You can never determine where the new landing location is? This is not as simple as building a bridge on the river. Taking the Clement family as an example, when Valam entered the space, he lost a considerable portion of his manpower because he could not determine his location.

No one can predict the specific location of the new landing point. In fact, there are many ways to change this situation. For example, a large number of personnel and funds were invested, hundreds of detections were conducted on the target space, and finally a safe landing coordinate was selected. This method is very effective. The "Iron Warriors" Legion also has enough ability to transfer the space channel. However, Duke Ma Wen also brought more detailed information. He found that Su Hao was in a very delicate position within the legion, and he should have obtained a certain big one.

The appreciation of characters is in an important testing period. Otherwise, there will be no chance to enter the 10th training camp for training! Opportunity. The space channel in Konoha Town has increased several times in a row, and the energy carried by the space channel has increased exponentially, and it is evolving towards a war fortress. If you can control it in advance or force this space channel in Konoha Town to lose its effect, the "Iron Warriors" Legion would have to set up another new channel. In this way, Duke Marvin would have enough operating time.

Even the scheming and concise Ma Wen encountered this situation for the first time.

There must be some kind of and important special resources in the space field of HC993. Otherwise, the "Iron Warriors" Legion would not suddenly increase its support for Konoha Town.

On the registration form of relevant departments of the Empire, Konoha Town belongs to Su Hao, and the first developer in this space field is also Su Hao. As a space holder, Su Hao will definitely have many benefits in it. But it is unimaginable that he is just a servant of the "Iron Warriors" Legion and does not even have a formal identity.

If the space field is marked as "Iron Warrior", and Marvin is given a hundred courage, he will never dare to reach out. However, the problem is here: Su Hao is just an external personnel of the legion, and the senior management of the "Iron Warriors" seems to have no clear definition of his identity and management yet.

Duke Marvin was puzzled by this. This obviously did not conform to his understanding of the various rules of the main legion. The demise of the Clement family sounded the alarm for Duke Marvin on the one hand, but on the other hand, it prompted him to develop a strong interest in Su Hao and the Space itself.

Of course, Count Thomas would not know that he was just a tester chosen by the Duke. Since he was a temptation, then this person could not be a fool. He must be smart enough, have strong execution ability and on-the-scene reaction ability. Of course, it is not possible to appoint a civilian without power, and a noble with prominent status may also be. The former is too cautious and may be frightened in the face of a strong rebound, and the latter will not be honest and obedient. By comparison, Count Thomas naturally became the best choice for Duke Marvin.

"We will do everything we can to support you."

"You must take down that border town in the shortest time possible. No need to use force, you should have a set of your own methods. As long as you let it be abandoned, we will have the capital to intervene."

"Remember you are not alone. Behind you are a duke, two marquises, and sufficient capital and army help from all aspects. The key to the problem is whether you can allocate reasonably and use these generous conditions. When it comes to rewarding merits, we will determine the final gains based on each person's specific performance in this matter."

These words kept wandering in Count Thomas's mind.

He has gradually understood why he was selected? Why became the executive appointed by Duke Marvin?

His identity as an earl was not hereditary, but was a result of relying on long-term unremitting efforts and crazy efforts. Just sixteen years ago, Thomas was still a civilian businessman. However, things were so wonderful. He changed from an ordinary small vendor to a real wealthy businessman, possessing enviable assets, and then acquired the title of the earl who originally belonged to that family from a ruined nobleman. Everything was so natural and reasonable, and it did not violate the laws of the empire. It was a living and inspiring classic drama.

This is my second struggle in my life. As long as I succeed, I can become a true nobility.

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Count Toma's gloomy face gradually relaxed. He clenched his fists, his eyes full of expectation and a faint excitement.

A new city appeared on the desolate border, which immediately aroused heated discussion among the residents of Konoha Town.

"Hey, do you know that that place is not far from us, and you can get there in just one day at most."

"It should be a big man or a powerful consortium that wants to develop a border area, so I was able to choose. I came back from there the day before yesterday. Those people were really fast in construction. The foundation of the city wall has been completed, and there are many houses and other things. They are fully mechanical construction, so they naturally have to be faster than building houses with wood. I noticed that all of them are buildings with hollow mezzanines. They are heating pipes reserved in advance. Unlike us, we have to heat them by ourselves in winter, otherwise we will be frozen to death."

"Their defense facilities are similar to those here, and they even have some heavy weapons with great power. However, the tarp on the guard tower is covered with tarp, so I don't see it very clearly. But after a while, it should be clear."

The border of the Empire is a barren area, humans are a kind of social animal, and there is an additional settlement nearby, which is a good thing to everyone. People in Konoha Town never thought about what this means, and they all have a good impression of this new city called Oviado.

Even the mercenary captains Kenson and Mo Xingkui, who have become "worker bees", have the same thinking.

This idea is not surprising. They have been here for many years. If they were not forced to leave the empire territory and come to the border area for nothing to suffer. There is a large population, which means that the power is strong. With a new city, there will be a second and third... This is how prosperity comes about. It is precisely because of this mentality that the residents of Konoha Town are extremely welcoming to Oviado. This makes Count Thomas, who is responsible for building the city, feel a little helpless, and even once suspected that it was a deliberate test by Su Hao and others.

This is the difference between conspiracy and sincerity.

Earl Toma ordered a cordon to be set up near Oviado, and closely monitor the specific movements of each person outside the surveillance range.

Two days later, Count Toma discovered that his worries were purely unnecessary. The residents of Konoha Town were not the destructors they imagined. They were extremely enthusiastic about the newly built small town. They even brought various foods: bread, sausage, bacon, vegetables and wine, and the warm and friendly atmosphere, even the people who were responsible for monitoring them according to the orders were embarrassed.

This even relieved the logistical pressure on Count Thomas to a certain extent. Of course, he didn't have to worry about this. Duke Marvin had already sent a large number of convoys to be responsible for the transportation of materials needed in the new city. But in any case, being able to obtain food on the spot means freeing up a lot of transportation space and bringing more urgently needed building materials from the empire.

According to the plan discussed by the nobles, the first batch of Oviado's residents were 20,000 civilians from the empire and thousands of family private soldiers who had received military training. This part of the force was evenly distributed by Duke Marvin and others to ensure that there would never be any escapees who had left the new city without authorization. However, what Earl Thomas did not expect was that before these immigrants arrived and Oviado was in the infrastructure construction, the women in Konoha Town began to become restless.

To be precise, it should be bars and prostitutes, women in the yard who like to make money from men's pockets.

Oviado's builders and armed private soldiers are both men. Faced with the opposite sex who took the initiative to come to the door, of course, there is no reason to refuse. Although these women are average-looking and their figures and behaviors cannot be compared with the top girls in high-end bars and nightclubs in the Empire Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domes

This greatly appeased the construction troops under Count Thomas. He originally came here with hostility and alertness, but he never dreamed that things would turn out like this. In addition to his emotion, Count Thomas also ordered the construction to speed up the progress and strive to allow the first batch of immigrants to live in newly built houses before winter came.

With more money, more power.

The strength of Duke Ma Wen and others is definitely not comparable to Qiao Tianyu who carefully built Konoha Town back then. In just one month, Oviado has already had the prototype. Most of the city wall construction was completed, and various pipelines were laid out very well. Although the ancillary facilities have not been completed yet, no matter who is, as long as you see it at first, you will feel that the city's comprehensive capabilities and living environment must be much better than the neighboring Konoha Town.

The new road between the two border cities has been completed. This is a temporary project that Count Thomas decided to add based on the progress of the project and changes in the situation. The two cities can communicate faster and better, which is exactly the result that Count Thomas wants to see.
Chapter completed!
