Chapter 690

Olan left, but a week later she visited the fort again. This time she brought a basic version of the biological modulation system, 20 research assistants and an intelligent management system.

The fifth floor of the main building of the fortress has been transformed into a biological research laboratory. Although it can not be compared with the laboratory in the base of zero point company in terms of implementation, it can at least carry out the most basic modulation work. Zero plans to add another expanded version, but the Eastar side will not be able to deliver it until a month later, but now these devices are enough for early modulation.

After two days of installation and debugging, the fifth floor has become a forbidden area, and only zero can enter and leave freely. Other people need to use identification to ensure the confidentiality of information.

As for the intelligent management system brought by olan, it was soon put into practice. A smart brain host was installed in a room on the fourth floor, and five operating sub computers were connected. At the same time, it took nearly a week for the recording terminal to be put down to three small towns, such as the fortress and Marley. From the worker to the soldier, they made an identity registration, and backed up the information in the intelligent brain host.

At the same time, a smart card is issued to each person who serves zero. Through it, when they pay zero salary or trade some supplies and food, they can update the points through the record terminal.

So far, the zero collar underground economic system was established, and the integral system was used with reference to asgart. In order to save a lot of time, the proportion of converting 10 points into 1 gold coin is used to reduce some unnecessary links in zero financial operation.

Olan also provided zero with five librarians to manage the system for him, which is a gift from ISTA.

Next, the fortress and the three towns were in full swing. In Kanon fortress, mining and military training were the main tasks. With the continuous supply of workers and recruits, several mining areas were finally able to operate at full capacity, resulting in a monthly output of resources worth more than one million gold coins. In terms of recruits, 2000 are recruited. Most of them come from the outer islands where life is hard. Therefore, these recruits are very determined by nature and their physical fitness is not much worse.

What they lack is combat experience. In this respect, they are still trained by the soldiers on destiny.

Kanon's original fortress area obviously can't accommodate so many people. Zero can only set up simple shantytowns near the fortress or even on the edge of the mining area for workers to live in. The soldiers lived in the original fortress barracks, and the former slave camp was transformed to accommodate nearly 5000 soldiers.

The three towns of Mali, Mongo and Tucson also operated. After the soldiers in the papal hall were beaten away, the residents of the town did not escape. For them, it doesn't matter which town they occupy. What's important is that they still provide food and housing, and their salaries are increased. Of course, there was resistance, but after being suppressed several times by the soldiers, they accepted their fate.

The principle of zero is very simple. If you work for him, everything will be the same, even the salary will be better than before. But if disturbances, especially those that incite others to revolt together, will be ruthlessly suppressed. There is no compromise in this respect. His kindness is aimed at his own people. For those who are not controlled or have ulterior motives, nothing but cruelty is given to them.

His enemies are far away. They have no time to stop for these branches. They have to trim them by the quickest means. After the first two weeks, order was restored in the three towns. Factories in the towns of Mengo and Mali continued to operate, producing food and clean water. The time to restore order in Tucson town should be faster. Most of the residents in Tucson town were family members of the army. After the war, the families of the soldiers who died in the war were expelled by zero. Their family members died in the war and had a blood feud with zero, so naturally they would not work for zero.

Zero didn't want to kill them, which would leave him a cruel position. He didn't want the papal hall to bring a composition. A lord can be severe and hard-blooded, but if it is brutal, then the meaning is totally different. So he only chose to expel them, and he also gave them enough food and water to get them to cage, another city 500 kilometers away.

There are hundreds of these people. Once all of them enter cage City, it should affect their food reserves. At that time, how to arrange the families of the war dead will become a headache for the papal hall. If one is not handled properly, the papal hall will be criticized.

The rest are basically the families of the 200 surrendering soldiers. For the surrendering soldiers, they are scattered and assigned to work in the mining area. The soldiers and their families knew that they could not go back to Rome. Under the high handed policy of Solon, the Knights basically executed the soldiers. That is to say, even if zero agrees to release them, they will be executed when they go back, and their families will become slaves.

Under such a rule, the papal chamber has undoubtedly pushed the troop drop to zero. At least stay here, and they're still alive, though they all know that sooner or later the papal chamber will call back. But if they are not defeated in one day, they can be sheltered. Most people know how to choose between dying immediately and dying later.As a result, zero got more than 400 workers, plus the new workers he recruited. After training, most of the production capacity of the Arsenal was restored.

Now, the fortress and three towns occupied by zero are very busy, and zero himself is also very busy. Instead, these high-level people have nothing to do. Now they just want to know when the papal hall will call, so as to activate their rusty hands and feet.

Three weeks after Canon's capture, a scout team outside Tucson found that an army had finally arrived from cage, 500 kilometers away.

The commander was mesa, the deputy commander of the 2nd regiment who fled from Tucson. This time, he integrated the powerful combat power of 5000 soldiers, 100 paladins and 30 Griffin knights from three surrounding towns, including cage, to Tucson.

Mesa wants to be shamed and recapture the military base in Tucson. Su was very happy to hear the news. She called belline, who had stayed in Tucson, and with three hundred soldiers, she went quietly to mesa's army.

Mesa's fighting style has always been steady. Otherwise, he would not have attracted so many soldiers in one breath. He was planning to push Tucson's enemy down with the advantage of number. However, with a large number of troops, the March can't be fast. At the speed of 100 kilometers per day, Tucson was seen in the evening of the fifth day. Mesa ordered the whole army to rest and attack early tomorrow morning.

But on the same night, Su led the team to the door. After giving the soldiers to belline, she went into mesa's barracks by herself. You know, mesa's troops are stationed in the wild, and there's no danger. Although the barracks were carefully arranged, they could not stand the charge of the Ninth level destroyers. Su sang all the way to the main camp of mesa.

In the end, if mesa hadn't sent intensive mecha troops to fire on Su, mesa would have died that night.

Under the strong firepower of the mecha troops, Su had no choice but to withdraw. After converging with belien's team in the middle of the way and fighting from left to right, belien sent a thunderbolt to mesa's barracks. The continuous electric fire formed a bright line of fire that cut off the pursuers. By the way, he blew up more than ten Paladin mechas, which made mesa furious and helpless.

Just in this raid, mesa lost hundreds of soldiers and more than ten machine armour, which greatly reduced the morale of the Knights.

The next day, zero, who received the news, came with the battle group of Hooke and Manshan, followed by Haiwei Yeliu and others. At nine o'clock in the morning, mesa launched an attack. First, thirty Griffin Knights took off. They are the most superior aerial firepower of the Knights. The light machine gun strafe of Griffin Knights poses a threat to ordinary soldiers, while the pocket missile is a fire that high-level soldiers are unwilling to face.

Mesa's first attack obviously wants to suppress Tucson in the air. Tactically speaking, it's true. It's a pity that there are many people with zero ability, especially those with belien's element domain ability, who have obvious advantages in such a battlefield. What's more, zero also updated a batch of equipment from istane. As soon as the Griffin knight took off, under zero's command, the soldiers who had occupied all the commanding heights immediately picked up the newly purchased anqira guns.

When the Griffin Knights fly close, they are welcomed by the powerful air control firepower network constructed by the Angela cannons, as well as the continuous release of ray photoelectric fire in Berion's hands. In such a situation, even if the Griffin knight has dropped the guided missile, it has let the zero side fire network intercept and detonate before it falls to the ground.

Seeing this, mesa gave the order of general attack with a gloomy face. As a result, hundreds of paladins were scattered everywhere, and with ordinary soldiers marching towards Tucson, from a high altitude, 5000 soldiers formed a magnificent wave, all facing Tucson city.

Finally, a full-scale battle broke out outside Tucson.

After the occupation of Tucson, the city will definitely become the front line of war, considering the attack of papal hall. Therefore, some time ago, although Su and belline were idle, other soldiers did not rest. About 100 people were left to maintain order, while others dug fortifications outside the town. In addition to the trenches, several useless armor plates were sent from the steel works in Marley.

They were fixed outside the trench to serve as a cover, and people cut square holes on them for soldiers to shoot after covering.

These arrangements are finally in use now. The armor plate can last for a period of time even if the paladins can save fire. As for ordinary rifles, they can't be threatened at all. Only heavy fire like rockets and missiles can destroy these things. When mesa found that his army was confronted with unexpected and violent resistance, he ordered that the armor plates be removed first.

So nearly half of the mecha's firepower was aimed at the armor plates, and soon two sides were blasted to pieces. Seeing this, zero has no reservation. A little toward the Cavalier mecha, zero will rush to this unit first. What he meant was to clear the other side's power armored forces first.With zero, Hooke, Manshan, Yeliu, Haiwei and other capable people taking part in the war. The paladin mecha of mesa army was rapidly reduced, and the Griffin knights were eliminated one by one with the cooperation of belline and Angela guns. When the casualties of the mecha troops exceeded two-thirds, the balance of the war began to tilt to zero.

After cleaning up the mecha troops, zero and others began to fight in mesa's army. In the face of their killing gods, ordinary soldiers could not stop them at all. Zero. They don't compete with the ordinary soldiers. Their target is the leader of the other side. These figures are the same as the nodes of the whole command network. When these officers are also reduced, mesa finds that he can't command the army.

The battle lasted from day to afternoon, and finally came to an end.

More than 3000 soldiers were killed in mesa's army, and almost all the mecha troops were destroyed. Most of the people at the officer level were killed and injured. Even mesa himself died in the hands of zero. About 500 of the remaining Knights chose to surrender, and the rest fled back to cage.

After the war, more than 700 soldiers died in the zero battle, most of them died in the armor plate bombing by the enemy. Compared with the loss of the knights, zero's side can only be regarded as minor injury, but if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many high-level soldiers under zero, they would not be able to clear the opponent's mecha troops in time. In that case, more people will die. This time, there are not many zero recovery equipment. Most of them are ordinary equipment, and the return can't be compared with previous times.

But after this battle, there is no force that can threaten zero in nearly a thousand kilometers. The next morning, with a thousand soldiers and a few high-ranking officers, they went straight to cage. Three days later, the virtual city was conquered by zero within a few seconds. The scale of cage is not small. It's about the total area of three towns in Mali. There is a training camp for the Knights of the St. signet. It's only then that we know that there are 3000 recruits in the army called by mesa.

Basically, all the soldiers in the training camp were transferred to mesa. No wonder the remaining soldiers were not enough to resist the zero attack. After the news of mesa's defeat spread to the city, the mayor of cage and some other officials left the city as soon as they knew it. Only more than 20000 civilians were left behind. To guard such a city, unless another 1000 soldiers had to be transferred.

However, cage city is located on the plain, and there is no danger to defend. Now the strength of cage city is not enough to swallow such a big city, so the residents of cage city are left with only enough materials for ten days, and other materials that can be taken away as far as possible. Among these materials, food and water are the zero priority, followed by the equipment of the Knights. If these things are converted into gold coins, there are nearly a million, of which the most valuable is 20 paladins. With them, plus Canon's remaining round table knight, zero has a mecha team.

As for the future life of the residents, it naturally becomes another headache for the papal hall. But as long as can let the papal hall headache matter, zero is willing to do.

When he returned to Tucson, he received an unexpected news.

Olan came again, but this time, she also brought the mysterious sponsor behind ISTA.

He returned to Canon at zero on the same day. When he arrived in the evening, he saw olan first. Olan had heard about the battle outside Tucson, and when he met olan, he said, "Lord zero, congratulations on another setback in the papal chamber."

Zero doesn't think it's true: "it's just a small win, not a big setback. You flatter me

"No, you are modest. It's not a small victory to defeat an army of 5000 people from the front. "

"Quantity doesn't tell."

"When the quantity is large enough, that's a problem." Olan said with a smile.

Zero unintentionally and she continue to entangle in this matter, he changed the topic and said: "I heard that you are not alone this time."

"Yes, I've also brought the grown-up behind us."

"I don't know who is the great man in the papal chamber?" Zero asked casually.

They came to the command room on the fourth floor. Olan stood outside and said, "you can see it when you go in. I'm sure you'll be surprised."

"Oh? The one who can surprise me is not the young Pope Zero joked and pushed the door in.

There was only one man in the command room. He stood in front of the French window and looked into the inner city of the fortress. The whole body is wrapped in a cloak, and even the face is buried in the shadow of the hood. When zero came in, he said with emotion: "today's Canon, can talk about the real iron wall."

Zero also went to the window, the evening sky in the fortress painted a golden color. The outer wall, which is made up of armor plates, has been basically assembled. In a few days, the gate will be completed, and heavy artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns will be installed on the wall. The defense of the fortress will jump several levels. The wall, which is made up of a row of metal armor plates, is flowing with the luster of metal under the sky light, which is really worthy of the word "iron wall"."Nothing in the world is eternal. No matter how strong Kanon is, it will never fall. Like Sauron, it's impossible to sit on that throne forever. " Use simple language.

With a slight shock, the man turned his head and saw a pair of bright eyes from the shadow of his hood: "are you confident of entering Rome?"

"Not with confidence, but with certainty."

"I don't understand. Where does your confidence come from?"

"It's very simple. In front of the peak I'm going to climb, Rome is just a hillside." Zero simple words, but with a strong self-confidence.

"That is to say, in the course of your ascent, the hillside of Rome is just an obstacle that you are bound to jump. I understand, stranger, though I don't know where your destination is. But I'm glad to be with you for a short time in your life The cloak man finally pulled down his hood and showed a handsome and sunny face: "for the first time, I am the current Pope Paul VI."

Zero pupil slightly shrunk, then showed a wry smile. When he said it casually, he was right.

The backstage supporter of ISTA is the contemporary pope!
