Earl Thomas' concerns are reasonable. The fact that mechanical slave labor appeared in Konoha Town means that the main legion has been included in the sphere of influence. The reason they did this must be that HC993 space field has found some extremely important resource. Otherwise, no one would have spent any effort on a small town with poor resources on the border of the empire.

"What else is there except mechanical slave labor?" Duke Ma Wen's expression has not changed. He seemed to be smiling, but no one could understand the true meaning of this appearance.

"Koba Town has become a real war fortress."

When saying this, Count Thomas had sent all the hundreds of photos and videos taken from the outside of Konoha Town in recent times: "The project progress there is amazing. A core defense building group has been established, and the large-caliber must-race cannons and mechanical transmission systems have been installed. According to the evaluation of professionals, Konoha Town's defense capabilities have already possessed the relevant characteristics of the highest military level. This is just the towers in important areas, and various ancillary facilities and buildings should be completed in the near future. Those mechanical slave workers are simply tireless madmen, and this is the first time I have

Seeing such a person who works hard. They dug the foundation all the way outside Konoha Town, with all connections, like a super-large spider web. Airships still land every day. They brought "Chimera" tanks, amazingly heavy weapons, and uncountable containers. There must be a huge number of logistics backup items. But we can't see it, and we can't guess the specific types... By the way, they also have a particularly huge and amazingly large tank. Especially its gun barrel, its terrifying radius size, is simply incredible."

"Extra-large tank?"

Duke Marvin felt a little bad from Count Thomas' exaggerated description: "Are there any pictures? Or, to be more detailed."

After all, the Count is not a professional soldier. His description is mixed with many amazing words with his own subjective components. Since the entire Konoha Town is set as a military area, the peepers sent by Thomas can only observe with electronic telescopes several kilometers away. All photos and videos are blurry, and they can only speculate on the situation in the town through general outlines. The same is true for the super-large chariot, which is very blurry in the photos, with only a silhouette of shadows. Even so, the knowledgeable Duke of Marvin still inferred based on the various information at hand and some secrets he knew: this is the special war weapon that the main legion is qualified to configure, the famous "Ghost Blade".

He fell into silence.

The Earl Thomas on the screen wanted to speak but stopped, obviously trying to urge the Duke to give him a reply as soon as possible. But he knew very well that it was definitely not a wise choice to interrupt the Duke's thinking now. The identities of the two were too different. Although he was also a participant in the Duke's plan, his foundation was just a role running errands outside and being responsible for the implementation of the plan.

"Haha, there's nothing to worry about."

After about half a minute, the contemplative Duke Marvin raised his head and said with a smile as usual: "Things are not out of control, and the changes in Konoha Town are normal. Well, tell me how the Oviado City Bar is doing? How many permanent residents are there now?"

The content of the report of Count Thomas continues toward the good side. This is actually normal. Being rich means having sufficient funds to invest in the welfare of the people. Everyone yearns for a beautiful and happy life, especially in the obvious situation. Except for those old mercenaries who are loyal to Su Hao, no one is willing to continue to stay in the boring town of Konoha, and they will find ways to leave and then try every means to become residents of Oviado City.

During the process of listening to the report, Duke Marvin nodded frequently and gave Count Thomas encouragement and praise from time to time. Although he knew that these words were just superficial, that is, he needed to continue to stay in this place and do it honestly, Count Thomas was still flattered. In any case, Marvin was also a mountain that must be looked up to. Thomas used the same method countless times on his employees. But now, the Count does not consider it an insult. On the contrary, it is the Duke's absolute appreciation for him.

The remote communication was quickly closed and the room returned to peace. The Duke's sight never moved away from the information transmission instrument that disappeared from the light curtain, as if it had become permanent solidification there.

"It's really strange, why did things suddenly become like this?"

The Duke muttered to himself, and deep doubts appeared in his eyes.

The information conveyed by the Clement family at the last time should be absolutely true. Marvin has used various relationships to fully understand this. He has his own sources of intelligence in the Defense Forces and the Imperial Police. Although it is impossible to know the situation inside the army, he can also find some of the details through various signs and methods such as reverse reversal.

The information about Su Hao has been sorted out in great detail.

He used to be just a wanderer in Red Rock City, a dark hunter, and a mercenary who worked hard for money. By chance, he was noticed by the people of the Qiao family and came to Konoha Town. His actual ability should be around the third level of evolution, with extremely excellent medical skills, especially in surgery. Relying on this ability, he quickly opened up the situation in Konoha Town. Many people expressed gratitude to him, and thus a group of supporters gathered firmly by him.

What happened later became quite interesting. Dark creatures launched a large attack on Konoha Town, and Su Hao also had a large number of imperial contribution points. Many nobles, including the Clemen family, took a fancy to this and wanted to buy it at a very cheap price. The dispute arose. The 44l infantry division of the Imperial Defense Forces, which was responsible for the defense of Konoha Town, also got involved. The relationship between Brigadier General Badam and Su Hao once became bad, and a certain heir of the Clemen family was also seriously injured by Su Hao. In short, the situation at that time was chaotic and complicated, but Su Hao led the mercenaries to defeat the Dark creatures, hugged the town, and became a well-deserved hero.

Looking at the information that was about to be broken by himself, Duke Ma Wen sighed faintly and said to himself in disappointment: "It's such a colorful life. I have to admit that this is indeed a lucky guy. Even the siege of the dark creatures can be resolved. If it were someone else, I would have died long ago so that I would not even have bones left, let alone live until now."

All the information shows that Su Hao is a civilian. He has no background and has no big figure worth relying on in the upper class of the empire. The only exception is probably Garros of the Melken family. Perhaps out of family instructor, or Garros himself likes Su Hao, they formed a certain offensive and defensive alliance or a community of interests. In short, Garros is the only noble who stands on Su Hao's side so far. Moreover, Garros himself is only one of the heirs of the Melken family, not the noble who really has the title.

Duke Marvin always smiles for a young guy like Garros, and can kill him with just a finger. Of course, he did not provoke him, and there was no need to deal with him.

Why was Su Hao noticed by the "Iron Warriors"? This has always been a question that Duke Marvin couldn't figure out.

Although he was a warrior, he had never participated in the selection of recruits for the main legion. According to the information, the imperial contribution points produced by surrendering special dark biological samples should be the opportunity for Su Hao to obtain the military rank and become a servant of the "Iron Warrior" legion. According to common sense, this kind of thing usually does not happen. Duke Marvin believes that human nature is greedy and everyone has desires. Of course, in high-sounding words, it means having ideals. Wealth, status, and beauty are probably the basic desires that all human beings and everyone want.

The reason why the sales volume of National Welfare Lottery is as high as hundreds of millions of gold coins per issue is that ordinary people have the dream of getting rich. Among the guys who receive the bonus, there are few smart people who have plans for their future life. They either spend money on their own or gamble randomly, or they carry bank cards, like super rich people with huge wealth, with a arrogant look, and spend all their money in a certain gold-selling cave in a short period of time. When all the dream bubbles are broken, they will be awake and return to reality.

Just imagine, what would someone do if he suddenly got an imperial contribution point of up to five thousand?

This is a multiple-choice question. Duke Ma Wen once instructed his subordinate institutions to do similar polls. All the subjects were inclined to turn the contribution points into wealth, thereby changing their current living conditions. Of course, Su Hao directly converted the contribution points into military merits and used them as a way to exchange military ranks. A very small number of young people also chose. But they quickly forked off the redemption options outlined in the questionnaire and chose the need for wealth.

The main legion never recruits new recruits in the empire. The people of the country have become accustomed to a comfortable and enjoyable life and have an instinctive sense of avoiding wars and dangers. Only those poor people who live in poverty will run to the recruit recruitment station to register when they are desperate.

This situation is not a secret within the empire. This is the biggest difference between the National Defense Force and the main legion. The legion recruitment order has always been issued only to the Dark Hunter Guild, or to select new entrants in the border areas of the Empire. The National Defense Forces have good food and are treated carelessly, which is very attractive to poor civilians. Therefore, the number of new recruits recruits recruited by the Imperial Army every year is far higher than that of the main legion, and thus has become the largest armed group in the human empire.

Although the source channels of recruits are narrow and not large, the comprehensive combat capabilities of the main legion are far beyond those of the National Defense Forces. This is largely due to the full support of the Holy See behind it. They carried out a spiritual purification ceremony for every conscript, which is a very strong brainwashing. The mysterious gene gland transplantation program has always been curious about the imperial nobles and wanted to know the ultimate secret. Unfortunately, the main legion and the Holy See are extremely strict in this regard. They refuse to spy from anyone, no matter any department or any excuse to understand, they will be turned away. The existence of mechanical slaves is certainly not a secret, but not everyone knows that there are biological slaves in the world. Duke Marvin only learned by chance. At that time, he was frightened and even completely cut off the idea of ​​seeking out information from the Holy See and the Legion.

"Bio slave...oh that's simply a terrible nightmare"

The Duke leaned against the sofa, slowly stroked his forehead with his right hand, and sighed with extreme helplessness and fear.

Before seeing it with your own eyes, Marvin never thought that there would be such creatures in the world that subvert human thinking. They have no independent thinking, and the traces of degeneration of hands and feet are very obvious. The food is monotonous. Although it is rich in nutrients, it cannot be said to have any taste or taste. It is purely semi-liquids placed in soft tubes. Not to mention swallowing, it feels disgusting even if it smells. The only purpose of biological slaves is to become the initial cultivation compartment of gene glands. Yes, they are alive. Only by drawing flesh and blood energy from living people can the gene glands grow like babies in their bodies, and then be transplanted and sealed, and enter the body of the legion warriors for the second gene cultivation. The combat ability and various essential factors are to accumulate little by little at that time. Until a few years later, they can move out of the warriors' bodies and grow into complete new organs in another cultivation compartment, thereby implanting them into the bodies of the legion soldiers who need them.

This is the real reason why those legion soldiers, that is, recruits, can master various combat skills and operate various types of combat equipment without too strict training. Loyalty to the emperor may not be the innate consciousness in their brains, but can fundamentally change the genes through the implantation of foreign organs, and have never become an independent subconscious, that is, instinct.

The legion warriors wearing power armor are indeed eye-catching. At any time, their appearance is accompanied by bloody storms and fears by all the nobles. Duke Marvin is no exception.

But in any case, in the eyes of the nobles, these legion soldiers were still just a group of untouchables with muscles in their minds and no ability to adapt, like steel blocks. Although they guaranteed the existence of the human empire and the continuation of civilization, these people also had a great opportunity to obtain new titles through battle. But they would not be respected in the end, only fear and indifference.

Duke Ma Wen had had several dealings with the main legion. Since then, he never wanted to contact it again. The reason is very simple: those guys wrapped in armor don’t know how to adapt at all, and they don’t even understand the most basic human relationships. Their solution to the problem is very rough, either detaining the person involved, turning it into mechanical slave labor or biological slaves, or killing all opponents. In the words of a leader of the main legion: “As long as you kill all opponents, the rest will naturally be supporters.”

Thinking of those extremely bloody scenes, Duke Ma Wen couldn't help but want to tremble.

However, the Empire needed these legion warriors. Without them, the Empire would definitely be completely occupied by the dark world. By that time, nobility or civilians would become the flesh in the mouths of dark creatures.

Based on this premise and the actual external threats, the imperial nobles and various classes have unreserved support for the various legions in terms of material supply and meet the various requirements they put forward to the greatest extent. Of course, there are also factors of the Holy See and the Emperor. Everyone does not want to be regarded as heresy. There will be no lack of scorched corpses sentenced to be witches and blasphemers on the Holy See's stolen rack every day. Even after the punishment is over, the corpses will not be removed, but will be allowed to hang there and rot and smelly. A large screen is set up around the execution site, and every link in the execution process is repeatedly played.

In addition, there is the emperor.

That was an extremely mysterious existence.

He has no name.

Maybe he had a name before, but it was only because of his respect and the main legion and the senior officials of the Holy See that the imperial people would gradually disappear over the long years and were forgotten. This is indeed a kind of respect. When he mentioned him, he would be respected as "Emperor" or "Your Majesty". Only when ordinary people talk about each other, they would each use their names as their names. The emperor was obviously not listed here. The Holy See even the people's blunt name of the emperor as a sin and torture and punish.

The emperor's origin is also extremely mysterious. All relevant records about his name and history were sealed by the Supreme Court of Justice. Although Duke Ma Wen was old, he could only learn some stories about the emperor himself through the narratives of his predecessors. It was nothing more than killing the enemy bravely in a certain battle, and in order to protect the soldiers and the people, he used his body as a shield, or showed his particular wisdom and vision in a certain matter.

The biggest difference between the public and the officials is how well they know about the secrets.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor is an insurmountable god.

In the eyes of high-ranking nobles like Duke Marvin, the emperor is just an ordinary person. At most, he does something that ordinary people cannot do than ordinary people. However, in its essence, there is still no change.
