Chapter 282: The Great Purge (I)

After the executive committee was selected, Roland also informed the remaining twelve executive committee members of the secrets, including the Fountain of Life.

Most of the other twelve executive committee members were also mentally prepared for these secrets. After all, most of them had some guesses about the legionnaires' deaths and sudden reappearances.

At first they thought that this method of resurrection should have many limitations, but they didn't expect that except for high-level extraordinary people, the rest could be resurrected as long as they left a life mark.

Therefore, after learning of the existence of the Fountain of Life, the executive committee members were ecstatic.

Originally, Roland was worried that they would not be able to accept the existence of the Fountain of Life. Therefore, Roland planned to leave life marks on one-third of the committee's troops and let them be responsible for the most dangerous battles. However, the executive committee members were much crazier and bolder than Roland.

One third? That's not enough, I want all of them!
The executive committee members unanimously agreed to force all soldiers to leave a life mark, and a few executive committee members were even considering requiring everyone to leave a life mark. In this way, the population of the War Council would not decrease, but would only increase as the war continued.

Roland himself became the most conservative member of the Executive Committee. He constantly explained the various possible hidden dangers and dangers of the Fountain of Life and persuaded the other twelve executive committee members not to be so radical.

Under Roland's persuasion, the Executive Committee gave up the idea of ​​forcing all soldiers to leave life marks and decided to make it voluntary.

However, although it is said to be voluntary, the notice will be sent to the military headquarters, and then to officers at all levels.

Faced with the temptation of being resurrected after dying in battle, almost no one cared about the hidden dangers written in the notice.

Within a few months, the life mark covered 99% of the soldiers in the army.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of life marks in the Fountain of Life, Roland was numb.

In addition to the Fountain of Life, the existence of the Strange Machine Factory also appeared before the Executive Committee.

As the representative of Qiji Factory, Siqi accepted the full consultation of the Executive Committee.

After witnessing the performance of various strange devices, Siqi's list of factory consumption and output, and Roland's guarantee, the strange devices were officially accepted by the Executive Committee.

At the same time, with Roland's efforts, in addition to the dwarves being recognized as a member race of the War Council, Siki also became a member of the War Council as a representative of the dwarves.

After receiving the news that Siqi became a committee member, the dwarf machinists in the machinist factory became enthusiastic about their work. They worked overtime and devoted themselves to their work.

Under the work of the dwarf artificer, artifice production lines were laid out day by day, and a large number of artifices were produced and flowed into all aspects of the War Committee.

Unlike the people of Sinar who were disdainful of strange machines, the people of Donar did not have much aversion to strange machines. Coupled with the vigorous promotion of the War Committee, strange machines were quickly rolled out.

Among them, communication-related devices were the most valued by the Executive Committee. At the request of the Executive Committee, it took less than two months for communication-related devices to be popularized at the most basic level in the government and the military.

At least, every city and military camp is equipped with one or two.

After the popularization of communication-related wonders, the War Council's control over the territory and the army has been greatly enhanced. Moreover, as more and more communication-related wonders are introduced and their popularity becomes more and more widespread, this control will continue to strengthen.

As this control strengthened, the War Council was getting closer to a large-scale cleansing of the rural areas.

On August 8, when the reconstruction work of the War Council was in full swing in various places, as the rule of various cities after the lifting of military control was completely stabilized, the orders from the Executive Committee were also transmitted to various places.

The administrative agencies, which had just breathed a sigh of relief from their busy schedule and were freed from military control, and the troops stationed in the city and in training all received new orders and detailed instructions from the Executive Committee.

In order to suppress and cleanse local hostile elements, local separatist forces and bandits roaming in rural areas, and at the same time strengthen the committee's rule over rural areas, we now order officials and soldiers to go to the countryside to carry out comprehensive pest control and cleaning activities, completely abolish local gentry autonomy, and establish a new grassroots governance system.

With the issuance of this order, the War Committee began its great cleansing of the countryside. In cities across the country, except for the officials and soldiers who stayed behind to maintain normal operations, the remaining officials and soldiers left the cities in large numbers and walked into the vast countryside.

Before they set off, the cavalry squads responsible for delivering messages also set out in advance.

Although there has been no action in rural areas in the past few months, patrols in complex rural areas have been quietly collecting various intelligence in rural areas while maintaining superficial order and stability.

After summarizing and analyzing the information through communication equipment, the War Committee was not completely familiar with the rural areas, but it was not completely blind to everything.

Therefore, the officials and soldiers who went to the countryside had received action guidelines issued by the Executive Committee, and were prepared for the people they were going to suppress and kill.

The gentle sunlight shines on the village below. Farmers are busy making a living. Apart from the hurried footsteps, the only sounds are the occasional greetings.

Just when the village was peaceful, noisy sounds broke the tranquility.

Outside the village, some villagers looked at the soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons coming from afar, and hurriedly ran back to the village.

"They are coming. They are coming."

As these villagers shouted and yelled, the villagers also trembled and crawled to the village square. Only a few smart villagers were arranged to stand at the village gate.

Harber walked to the entrance of the village, raised his right hand, and all the soldiers behind him stopped.

He looked at the villagers at the entrance of the village, waved his hand and said.

"You guys, come here."

A few clever villagers came over and spoke cautiously.

"grown ups."

"I think you have received the orders you sent earlier."

Harber glanced at them and said carelessly.

"Yes, yes, sir. They are all waiting for you inside."

The villager bent down and said in a flattering manner.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Harber nodded and spoke slowly.

"lead the way."

"Yes, yes, this way please."

Several villagers spoke humbly while leading the way obediently.
