After the wave of Aberrant Beasts receded, the dire situation at Crook Manor waspletely resolved.
Despite the heavy losses of the militia; despite the manor being severely damaged by biochemical cannon fire, with vast areas of corrosion left unresolved, at least the crisis of extinction was lifted.
Then, the next evening, Major Perbov—oh, now he''s a Colonel—led his Wind-Extinguishing Brigade to Crook Manor.
Jason Morgan and Perbov were old acquaintances; before the liberation of Rubbish Town in the eastward advance, during the bandit suppression operation within the two hundred kilometer expanse between Revival City and Rubbish Town, he coborated with Perbov, who was then a Major andpanymander.
At that time, the gap in their statuses was quiterge.
Of course, it''s not small now either, but it has decreased since then. Although Perbov''s promotion to the most important Wind-Extinguishing Brigademander and his rank increased by a level, Jason Morgan''s promotion speed was even faster. Although his rank isn''t high, currently a D4, he has already be the main person in charge of the Mutual Aid Society on behalf of the Alliance.
The Wind-Extinguishing Brigade''s rapid march and assault required material support, which still depended on him.
And after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Perbov revealed his next n to attack the jungle.
This shocked Jason Morgan, who felt that Colonel Perbov must be out of his mind, indulging in an impossible fantasy.
The main continent of Rage Owl Star can generally be divided into six major regions: the Central Region, the Eastern Provinces, The Nortnds, Green Valley, the Western Desert, and the Western Continent.
Among these six ces, the Green Valley Region is known for having the most poption, with over ten million people.
However, for this fertile and vastnd, the number of humans is still too few. Far from being the owners, the vast jungle is the true master here.
Humans merely opened up one ntation after another on the clearings between the jungles and connected them with roads.
The war between humans and the jungle in the Green Valley Region has been going on for a very long time.
The jungle breeds Aberrant Beasts. When their numbers be too great within the jungle, they will surge out, attacking humans, trying to expand their territory and the jungle area; this is the so-called wave of Aberrant Beasts of the Green Valley Region.
But when humans recover, they will counterattack and reim thend that has not yet be jungle.
Overall, the jungle is extremely dangerous; itcks the things humans need to survive and is filled with terrifying monsters instead.
In the jungle, humans have no advantage. The numerous thick trees, muddy ground, swamps... these natural environments all form obstacles to human conquest of the jungle.
Not to mention the sheer number of monsters bred within it.
In the Green Valley Region, to venture into the jungle is akin to seeking death.
This is a fact that everyone in Green Valley has been taught from childhood.
And now, Jason Morgan hears that Colonel Perbov wants to lead his troops into the jungle to their death.
Feeling Jason Morgan''s astonishment, Perbov onlyughed after the other man expressed words of dissuasion.
"Of course, of course, I understand that the jungle of Green Valley is hell. But before I set out, I had already studied it for a long time; no one understands the jungle better than I do."
After boasting, Perbov continued, "We have a secret weapon in our hands now."
Jason Morgan didn''t take the bait, "What secret weapon can enable us to easily conquer the jungle?"
"This is the Governor''s arrangement."
Jason Morgan immediately fell silent.
Nheless, Perbov could tell that Jason Morgan wasn''tpletely reassured.
He didn''t exin further but simply patted the civil officer''s shoulder and said, "You''ll be able to see it with your own eyes soon enough, don''t worry."
...
While "soon" was mentioned, in reality, Jason Morgan waited several days before he saw what that secret weapon actually was.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
In fact, the Wind-Extinguishing Brigade began their operation the very next morning after arriving at Crook Manor. The soldiers, driving armored vehicles and tanks, hade to the edge of the jungle and started their clearing operation.
Yes, the cleansing of the entire jungle.
Jason Morgan was full of curiosity, wondering how this was going to be aplished.
However, he still managed to suppress his own curiosity.
He had many tasks of his own to attend to.
Continuing the meetings of the Mutual Aid Society, providing supplies for the Wind-Extinguishing Brigade and for other units of the Central Group Army that wouldter join them, these were his most vital tasks.
At the same time, he had also received a directive from the Alliance''s Civil Affairs Department to undertake the restructuring of the poption in the Green Valley Region.
The historical mission of the Mutual Aid Society was nearing its end. The Alliance''s system would be fully implemented in the Green Valley Region.
Following the guide materials directly provided by the Civil Affairs Department, Jason Morgan understood what he had to do.
He was to transform the Mutual Aid Society into the Alliance''s managing agency for the Green Valley Region, which would be the fourth direct-administered province of the Alliance: the Beiqing Valley Province.
The manor lords would be local administrative officers, just as with the restructuring of the central three provinces. They would, subsequently, enter the Wind-Extinguishing Loyal Heir Academy in batches for training; meanwhile, their own manors, in a sense, were also thus confiscated. They no longer held ownership over their former properties; instead, they only maintained managerial rights.
This was of course not a thorough reform, bearing deeppromises. Manor lords turned Alliance officials were unlikely to change much about the management of their original manors, and the life of the public was not expected to change sufficiently.
