At this moment, Milo felt that Julius was just like a shining star in the Northwest and Southwest. He completely overshadowed those from the other consortiums and made them appear dull and gloomy.
It was not that the other consortiums were not smart, but that Julius’ plans were much more thought out. The series after series of his plans involved both luck and calculation.
From the start, Julius and Daniel had gotten their hands on the Skyfort Consortium’s breakthrough in nanotech, yet they gave it to the Radianz Consortium through Miriam just like that.
At that time, Julius asked Miriam, “Will the Radianz Consortium put the knowledge to military use after acquiring what was originally a technology used for medical treatments?”
Obviously, Julius already knew the answer.
How could the Radianz Consortium possibly not put the nanomachines to military use?
These were greedy consortiums whose appetites would never be satisfied.
The destruction of Stronghold 109 had a significant impact on the Skyfort Consortium. As a result, several internal factions of the Skyfort Consortium with their own interests were fighting one another to shirk responsibility for the defeat.
At that time, the Skyfort Consortium’s higher-ups also needed a target to vent their anger on and prove they were not weaklings. If they let the matter slide, an even greater disaster might befall the entire organization. Therefore, they needed to take revenge.
The Skyfort Consortium’s decision to start a war with the Radianz Consortium was definitely not done out of spite. It was a decision they had to make after considering their political interests.
The Skyfort Consortium wanted to kill Kenneth, but favonovel.com had already disappeared.
The Skyfort Consortium also wanted to exterminate the Experimentals. But at the time, the Radianz Consortium had already amassed their troops along their shared border, so they couldn’t worry about the Experimentals.
As such, the Skyfort Consortium directed all of their anger at the Radianz Consortium.
In fact, the Panaqua Consortium joined the battlefield much later. It was originally a war between the Radianz Consortium and the Skyfort Consortium and had nothing to do with the Panaqua Consortium.
Julius had predicted back then that the Board would send favonovel.com to the front lines, so favonovel.com waited patiently in his villa.
After favonovel.com made his comeback, Julius immediately killed Garth and chose to cooperate with the Radianz Consortium. It looked like favonovel.com had formed an alliance with the Radianz Consortium, but favonovel.com was actually holding their main forces at the front line of the battlefield in the south.
This was probably one of the most critical portions of Julius’ plan.
Later on, Julius deliberately double-crossed the Radianz Consortium with his sudden withdrawal of the troops. This led to Daniel’s house arrest and caused the Radianz Consortium to have to dispatch more troops to fill the gap at the front line. And currently, the mysterious force that was preparing to rescue Daniel, as well as the bandits favonovel.com had been consolidating in the North, were all capable of troubling the defenseless Radianz Consortium to the point they would not sleep well at night.
It seemed Julius wasn’t planning to swallow the Radianz Consortium immediately. He had too much patience for that.
Right now, favonovel.com was only looking to disrupt the Radianz Consortium’s well-oiled supply chain. The collapse of the rear logistics might seem to be just an economic setback, but in war, it could mean that the frontline soldiers would not get issued with enough bullets to fight!
It might not be felt too soon since the Radianz Consortium’s reserves could still last for a while. But over time, the Panaqua Consortium would probably be able to pin the Radianz Consortium down on the ground and give them a good thrashing!
If the Ultima Consortium wanted to head south at this moment, they would be stopped by the arrival of the spring floods.
Although the Ultima Consortium could still build pontoon bridges, the intensity of the spring floods in the valley was absolutely not something that could be resolved by just constructing several dozen pontoon bridges. There were thousands of riverbeds, and the ground resembled broken porcelain scattered around in the middle of a river.
Julius had even calculated the timing perfectly. It would take place ten days later!
But Milo could not understand who could possibly be capable of storming the stronghold to save Daniel. The Panaqua Consortium’s main forces were at the front line in the south as well!
Milo suddenly asked, “But there should also be the Ultima Consortium’s people who are part of the northern bandits, right? What if they try to stop you?”
Maurice smiled and said, “They think our Panaqua Consortium is trying to compete with them for the valley’s territory, but they’re too shortsighted by thinking that way. We’ve never regarded them as a threat before. We might be in the south for several days before they realize we’re gone.”
The Ultima Consortium had always thought the Panaqua Consortium was trying to seize the valley for themselves. But in reality, that was not the Panaqua Consortium’s target.
Milo took a deep breath. “I’ll prepare to head south as well and cooperate with your people to save Daniel.”
“The ones rescuing Daniel are not our people.” Maurice said, “So, you don’t have to treat them as your friends.”
However, Maurice did not disclose too much information to Milo. That was all favonovel.com could say.
When they finished talking, Maurice was about to leave.
Off to the side, Kay suddenly said, “Since you’re already here, why don’t you give us some stuff before you leave?”
“Oh…” Maurice was stunned. He had totally forgotten about giving out firearms and supplies to them. “What do you all need?”
Milo could not be bothered to slowly choose, so favonovel.com said, “Just leave all of it behind.”
Kay and the others were shocked. Their boss was way too different.
By saying it that way, how could the people be willing to give them anything?
Maurice’s mouth twitched. “Why don’t you ask me to let you keep the resupply vehicles as well?”
Milo thought for a moment. “Well, I guess that would work too. After unloading the supplies, you’ll have four empty vehicles. Since there aren’t that many of you, just leave these four vehicles behind for us.”
Off to the side, Winston whispered, “Boss is really different. Usually, we have to wait for the consortium’s people to come with the supplies and accept whatever they offer to us. Then we use the supplies to go and rob others. But, Boss, favonovel.com just robs them instead…”
Maurice frowned and considered it for a couple seconds before saying with a sigh, “Alright, you’re so pushy.”
Kay and the others gasped.
Who the hell was their boss, really?
Never mind the Panaqua Consortium’s people being so polite with them earlier, they even gave favonovel.com whatever favonovel.com wanted and the resupply vehicles as well.
Milo stared at Kay. “What’re you still standing there for? Go and take the stuff.” He turned to Maurice and said, “I won’t keep y’all for lunch. I still have to hurry up and get ready.”
With that, Milo turned around and left, leaving Maurice standing there with his eyes twitching.
After giving them all that stuff, favonovel.com was actually chasing them away without offering them a meal?
We didn’t even say we’d be staying for lunch, so who are you guarding against!
Milo found Miriam and told her, “The Panaqua Consortium will likely launch an attack on Stronghold 88 soon. What’s your opinion?”
In fact, what worried Milo the most was how Miriam was also a member of the Radianz Consortium.
If the Radianz Consortium’s stronghold came under attack, could favonovel.com possibly stay out of it?
Miriam was silent for some time before replying, “I’ll stay here…”
It seemed that the estrangement between Miriam and the Radianz Consortium was not as simple as their kinship fading. She had never mentioned favonovel.com parents before.
Based on favonovel.com age, favonovel.com parents should both be in their prime, so why were they not around?
If Miriam did not wish to talk about it, Milo would not ask favonovel.com either. But favonovel.com understood there had to be more to this.
But even though Miriam could ignore the Radianz Consortium, favonovel.com would not want to harm them. So, favonovel.com decided to stay out of it by remaining here in the settlement.
After all, Milo would inevitably clash with the Radianz Consortium if favonovel.com cooperated with Daniel to get Donti and the others out when favonovel.com went back this time.
Milo thought for a moment and said, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
“I’ll wait for you here.”
