Wizards are mighty

Since the Steam Civilization was forced to fall to the Carver Civilization, the Carver people have forced all the regimes of the defeated parties to disintegrate and reclassify them into new colonies.

This move can quickly assimilate everything in the Steam Civilization, but it also secretly buried hidden dangers.

Some organizations under the banner of the resistance army began to operate in the underground world of the Steam Plane.

If the Carver Civilization can remain strong, this hidden danger is certainly not a concern, and it will even gradually disappear with the passage of time.

Unfortunately, the wizards came.

The Carver Civilization was defeated and hid the moment they met.

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

The resistance army of the Steam Civilization, the armed forces of the Carver Civilization that slowed down the advancement of the wizard civilization, the warlords who emerged in the war, and even some powerful lone rangers.

Together, they intertwined into a chaotic picture.

The crime rate in many cities has risen sharply as a result.

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

Even the "purification wall" that blocks the outside world is difficult to maintain.

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

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

Because of the lack of order, traffic is disrupted and materials are difficult to circulate.

The gangs in this large city are gradually rising.

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

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

They call themselves "Steam Civilization Resistance Army".

...

...

In a small alley in the Ninth Special District, Lever City.

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

But the guy who fell in the alley at this time definitely wanted to stay outside the city rather than here.

His legs were cut off and his hands were twisted at a weird angle, but not much blood flowed out.

The whole person fell to the ground in a twisted posture, and kept making weak groans from his mouth.

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

But no one will listen to what he is saying.

Because this is an "execution."

"Those who betray the organization have only one way to die in endless pain."

This is a woman's voice.

The voice does not sound as rough as a man's.

Instead, it reveals a soft strength.

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

...

At this time, the members of the resistance army in black uniforms were standing solemnly in the alley, watching this "execution".

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

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

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

All she knew about the royal family and the past country could only be heard or seen in other people's mouths and books.

And her unfortunate childhood was spent in escape.

The Carver civilization was hunting her because they wanted to eradicate the trouble.

The remnants of the steam civilization that surrendered to the Carver civilization were hunting her to show their loyalty.

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

Under many complex factors, Suraya's idea of ​​restoring the country became more and more intense.

She wanted to gather a group of people who were dissatisfied with the Carver civilization and do a great cause.

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

There were so many that if she threw stones at ten people on the roadside, nine of them would have different degrees of complaints against the Carver civilization.

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

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

Once discovered by the Carver civilization, there is only one way to go, which is to be annihilated and destroyed.

She couldn't make such a major decision in a fit of anger and then take a large number of people to die.

That would be irresponsible to her followers.

She hesitated for a long time and planned countless plans with less than one in ten thousand feasibility.

But she still couldn't make up her mind.

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

It is so strong that it is impossible for people to raise the heart of resistance.

It is so strong that even if the remnants of the entire steam civilization die, it will be useless.

Suraya actually knows that after the war, the steam civilization is actually extinct.

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.

The royal inheritance she inherited was completely fine for a few people to squander.

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

But she was unwilling to give up.

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 waited for the opportunity.

Although it was unclear what happened, the Carver civilization seemed to have abandoned the entire steam plane overnight.

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

Just like... a gecko that escaped with its tail cut off?

So Suraya took action.

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

On the surface, they used the identity of a gangster as a cover.

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

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

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

The louder the slogan, the greater their responsibility, and the more attention they can attract the enemy.

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

I'm afraid that the enemy has come to encircle her now.

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