Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 167 Rebel Army

Ever since the Steam Civilization was forced to surrender to the Carver Civilization, the Carver people have forcibly dismantled all the regimes of the defeated side and re-divided them into new colonies.

Although this move could quickly assimilate everything about steam civilization, it also laid hidden dangers in secret.

Some organizations under the banner of resistance began to operate in the underground world of the steam plane.

If the Carver civilization could remain strong, this hidden danger would not be a concern and would even gradually disappear with the passage of time.

Unfortunately, the wizards came.

The Carver civilization fled and hid the moment they met.

The colonies that were originally in the process of construction and assimilation naturally fell into chaos.

The rebels of the Steam Civilization, the armed forces of the Carver Civilization left behind to slow down the advancement of the Wizard Civilization, the warlords who emerged in the war, and even some powerful lone rangers.

Together they form a chaotic picture.

As a result, the crime rate in many cities has risen sharply.

Some cities have even suffered large or small man-made or natural disasters, resulting in a sharp decline in population.

Even the "Wall of Purification" that blocked the outside world was difficult to maintain.

The city that Vic is about to arrive at was once the capital of one of the five states of the Steam Civilization Federation.

The situation here is slightly better, but it is definitely not optimistic.

Due to the lack of order, traffic was disrupted and supplies were difficult to circulate.

Gangs began to rise gradually in this large city.

Some of them are the white gloves of nobles and high-ranking officials, and some are transformed from the armed forces left over from the Carver civilization that once ruled here.

Some of them were once ordinary people, but because they had strong enough extraordinary talents, wisdom, or courage, they rose up in this "opportunity" by chance.

Among these so-called gangs, there is a group of rather special guys.

They call themselves the "Steam Civilization Resistance."

……

……

Lever City, in a small alley in the Ninth Special Zone.

Tall and strong men wearing black uniforms and badges made of mechanical structures such as levers and pulleys on their chests blocked the entrances and exits of the alley tightly.

Compared with outside the city, the environment here is much better. At least you can occasionally see one or two green plants in the corners of the alley, which makes the solemn scene in front of you less depressing.

But the guy lying in the alley at this moment definitely wanted to stay outside the city rather than here.

His legs were chopped off and his hands were twisted at a weird angle, but not much blood was shed.

The whole person fell to the ground in a twisted posture, constantly emitting faint moans from his mouth.

Seems to be begging for mercy? Or seems to be cursing.

But no one will listen to what he says anymore.

Because this is an execution.

"Those who betray the organization will only die in endless pain."

This is a woman's voice.

The voice doesn't sound as rough as a man's.

Instead, it exudes a soft energy.

However, the meaning conveyed by this sentence makes people feel cold.

……

At this time, members of the resistance army dressed in black uniforms were standing in the alley with solemn expressions, watching this "execution".

They all had different expressions, but no one dared to look directly into the eyes of the woman standing in front of them.

Because that was their leader, the former princess of the "Lever State", Suraya Poole.

...Before Suraya was born, the Lever State had already been destroyed in the war against foreign invaders.

Everything she knew about the royal family and the country of the past was something she had only heard or seen from other people and in books.

And her unfortunate childhood was spent in escape.

The Carver civilization is hunting her down because they want to eradicate the trouble.

The remnants of the Steam Civilization who surrendered to the Carver Civilization are hunting her down to show their loyalty.

Her relatives were captured or killed one by one, and hatred accumulated little by little.

Due to many complex factors, Suraiya's idea of ​​restoring the country became more and more intense.

She wanted to gather a group of people who were dissatisfied with Carver's civilization and do something big and spectacular.

This was actually very easy at the time because there were so many people who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Carver civilization.

If you throw stones at ten people on the roadside, nine of them will have varying degrees of complaints about Carver civilization.

But after gathering this group of people, what should she do?

Compared to her escape and hiding with a small number of servants and companions, a large group of people was too big a target.

Once discovered by the Carver civilization, the only way out is annihilation and destruction.

It is impossible for her to make such a major decision in a fit of anger and take a large group of people to their deaths.

That is irresponsible to one's followers.

She hesitated for a long time and planned countless plans, each of which had a feasibility rate of less than one in ten thousand.

But still can't make up my mind.

Because this hope is too slim and the power of Carver civilization is too strong.

It is so powerful that it is impossible for people to muster the will to resist.

It is so powerful that even if the remnants of the entire steam civilization sacrificed their lives, it would be of no avail.

Suraiya actually knew that after that war, the steam civilization was actually destroyed.

Instead of hoping for a miracle to happen, it is better to live in seclusion. At least you can spend the second half of your life in a relatively relaxed manner.

There is no problem with the royal inheritance she inherited being squandered by a few people.

If she didn't do anything, no one would keep watching her...

But she was unwilling to do so.

She wanted revenge, she wanted to restore her country, she wanted to stop the various spiritual castrations that the Carver civilization was doing to the people of the steam plane, so that the people of the steam civilization could escape the fate of being domesticated into slaves and cattle and horses.

Finally, she got the chance.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened, the Carver civilization seemed to have abandoned the entire Steam Plane overnight.

They withdrew most of their armed forces, recalled all high-ranking officials, and threw the rule of each city at will.

Just like... a gecko that cut off its tail to escape?
So Suraya took action.

In the former capital of her country, Lever City, she used her own identity to call on a group of like-minded people.

On the surface, he used his gangster identity as a cover.

But secretly, they are the legendary armed organization, the "Steam Civilization Resistance".

Yes, Suraya did not use her former country as the banner of the resistance, but directly took up the banner of steam civilization.

I have to say, this is a very courageous thing to do.

The louder the slogans are shouted, the greater their responsibilities will be and the more they will attract the enemy's attention.

If it weren't for the withdrawal of the Carver civilization, everything would have fallen into chaos.

I'm afraid that the enemies have come to surround her now.

But despite this, the current situation of the rebels is still not very optimistic.
