People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

As one of the designers of Academy City's drive armor, she naturally understands and reads the significance of this surprise exhibition from the request of "Party A".

"That's not good."

"It's even worse. Didn't you hear what the minister said? He said that the next time is a plan for a robot nearly [-] meters high to fly into space. According to various reasons, the driver should be a boy in his teens, preferably The high school part?"

"It was not good from beginning to end."

"As long as you know."

Hearing the engineer's words, Huang Quanchuan, who was disappointed, put the helmet he was holding before on the ground with a thud.

This helmet was about fifty centimeters wide, and it looked like a cylindrical robot with Academy City on it.

But because the size of other parts of the powered heavy armor is only about a circle larger than that of the Western heavy armor, the head looks particularly huge.

"Ah, just take it all off..."

As Huang Quanchuan said, he crawled out from the neck without a helmet.The black gear worn by special forces is worn under the driven heavy armor.

She sat down with her back leaning against the stopped-moving powered heavy armor, and said with one hand towards her face with a faint wind.

"Really, you can't hide in armored suits for things like powered armor. It should be replaced with well-ventilated work clothes for powered heavy armor. And I still want to say, can you die if you add an air conditioner to the exhibition?"

"Your statement is the same as those bastard Party A in Academy City who can make me work overtime all night with a slap on the head, add an air conditioner? You know that this kind of driven armor used in war is to accommodate more ammunition and energy reserves. And the necessary armor, how much trade-off do we have to make?"

As if a strange switch had been turned on, the woman in overalls continued to complain.

"And this time it's a surprise exhibition, do you know that what you're driving is one of our test planes. Although it's an era behind Academy City's technology, it's required to optimize it again. I have an aircraft carrier. Why should I bother optimizing a small wooden boat?"

"Just as I said, it seems that it is not easy for everyone."

Huang Quanchuan Aiho looked around.

"And if there's nothing big for us to do. It means the world is kind of peaceful today, which is a good thing."

After finishing speaking, Huang Quanchuan continued to look around.

Each booth displayed a variety of murder tools.

In the past, the color of "arresting people with out-of-control abilities with minimal damage" has become thinner. Instead, it is a powerful and high-destructive weapon that can penetrate the entire target with a heavy tank in case the enemy hides behind the tank.

In addition to the war-spec driven armor under Aiho Koizumikawa at this time, Aiho Koizumikawa could feel the difference between this set of driven armor and the standard armor equipped by the security guards from the beginning of the driving demonstration.

(All designs are optimized products for killing people. It seems that this time the situation is not so good...)

Aiho Koizumikawa glanced at the laptop used by the engineer.

On the screen, in addition to the driving heavy armor data that Huang Quanchuan took in the demonstrations in the past, there is also a small window showing the TV screen.

It was a news program, and the announcer was reading the press release.

[In the early hours of yesterday local time, a large-scale protest movement by religious groups took place in the industrial city of Toulouse in southern France.Several kilometers along the Garonne River, which runs through the center of the street, are full of people, not only the traffic, but also the infrastructure network. 】

[This kind of activity is particularly popular around the area where Japanese companies related to automobiles are scattered.It can be speculated that this is one of the rebellious activities against Academy City.More than [-]% of French citizens are Catholic Roman Orthodox Christians, and similar activities can be seen in many cities...]

[In "Dortmund" in central Germany, a bulldozer thought to have been stolen rushed into a Catholic church today, injuring nine clergymen.It is generally speculated that this is retaliation for a series of protests, and no crime has been declared so far.In the future, the dispute between the Roman Orthodox Church and the Academy City faction may intensify. 】

(Although I have seen this news before, I still can't get rid of the unpleasant feeling a...)

Like moving a small tinder to a dry straw, the world has changed dramatically in a few days.

Simultaneous protests by the Roman Orthodox Church around the world, and the partial overreaction to these events, have accelerated the dispute between the two sides.

Then, as if responding to this situation, Academy City held this counter attack weapon exhibition.

At first glance, it can be interpreted as a formal "declaration of the will not to succumb to the demonstrations" on the governing council's side, but deeper down, Huang Quanchuan Aiho, who was born as an "Amber", can already smell the gunpowder of war .

"The trigger should be the terrorist attack that happened in the No.11 school district yesterday evening, right? Hundreds of religious believers were forced to blast the No.11 school district with bombs, those religious lunatics..."

"It's hard to say, the explosion of that scale is not as simple as an ordinary bomb. But considering the fact that it is the case, I am afraid that some shady things in the No.11 school district were blown up together, which led to such a large-scale explosion. It might even be destroyed.”

The woman who was the engineer of the drive suit said casually, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"But no matter what the source of the explosion is, the result is 'the Roman Orthodox Church attacked Academy City'. The public opinion has already fallen, and now turmoil has broken out all over the world. This church called the Roman Orthodox Church is probably finished."

"That's right, it's not the period of Witch Hunting, the general public will respond to the church's speech. How many people will believe the stupid statement like 'Academy City is evil'? After all, it has become obvious No more terror..."

The period was like this, but it was also because of this that Koizumikawa Aiho was even more disturbed.

If the two sides are in a stalemate, Academy City may not act so quickly considering factors such as international influence.

If Britain, Russia, etc. have intervened, it is possible to resolve this dispute relatively peacefully.

But it is different now, Academy City has put on the cloak of "righteousness", and the next step is probably to "fly" to various places to suppress those "thugs" in the name of "righteous men".

After patting the rest of the driven armor, Huang Quanchuan Aiho could already imagine the scenes of those believers who were encouraged by the church to use various self-made weapons to no avail, and then were smashed to pieces by heavy-duty shotguns.

"How do you feel now?"

"It's none of my business, but more work is not a good thing. Especially overtime without overtime pay is worse."

"You understand what I'm trying to say don't you?"

"Even if it is a patent transaction, the manufacture of the core part of the weapon is completely controlled by the Academy City Cooperative Organization in each country, and the production volume and equipment status are all under control. Really, how far does Academy City want to raise funds? "

"Hey, it feels like things are going to 'go ahead' for the worst."

"But it's impossible for Academy City to lose to that kind of magic stick, isn't it? Whether it's public opinion, strategy, or... military strength?"

"indeed."

Chapter 550: The "fuse" has already been ignited by me~

"At this moment, I declare as the 'successor of the golden orthodoxy', Sigurd accepts your declaration of war?"

"Forehead......"

"You're handsome, Mr. Orthodox Successor?"

"Isn't it easy to say it?"

Matthew Liss looked at the mercenary who was sitting on the seat studying the explanation, and Sylvia who was leaning against the kitchen door with a headache on her face.

As for the Nordic witch lady named Othinus, she was eating potato chips and had no intention of serving them.

"You just said it in passing. Didn't you provoke a world-scale war in a disguised form?"

"It's the Roman Orthodox Church who is provoking trouble, and I'm just fighting. Besides, if I don't pick them up, I can't live in peace? The guy who even kicked out his own pope?"

Sylvia looked at Matthew Liss, who was sitting aside with hot tea.

Although she didn't like the Pope of the Roman Orthodox Church very much, and she had always disliked the Pope because of the third princess and many other things, but now she really couldn't say anything to add insult to injury.

The dignified Pope was kicked out by his followers. Even if most of the believers didn't know about it, but he was able to mobilize believers all over the world to start a riot, then it means that there must be many people among the high-ranking cardinals involved. up.

"Hey... so what are you going to do next? Since this guy is still alive, as long as he comes forward, more than half of the Roman Orthodox church members will give up, right?"

Although the Roman Orthodox Church claims to have "20 billion believers", among them, as magicians, who can actually participate in combat, there may not be even [-] million.

And believers who do not belong to the magic side at all are definitely in the majority, especially because a large part of them is because of the reason "Matthew Lis was killed by Sigurd".

As for those involved, if Matthew Liss can now stand up and prove that he is not dead and that the liars are other senior leaders of the Roman Orthodox Church, in theory, [-]% of the turmoil in the world can be quelled.

And among the remaining [-]%, there will be old guys who "see the wind to make the rudder", and under the chain reaction, less than [-]% will continue to make trouble in the end.

"No, Matthew Lees is dead."

"?"

Matthew Liss looked at Sigurd, but for a moment he didn't realize what Sigurd meant.

"It's good for them to make things worse. The Roman Orthodox Church has been unpopular for a long time now. No matter how fierce they are, there will not be many people who will go along with them."

"Does this conflict with your idea of ​​'maintaining world stability'?"

"This is maintaining the stability of the world, Miss Maid."

Sylvia and Matthew Lis turned their attention to Othinus, who was lying on the sofa. This Nordic witch lady was drinking happy water, and usually pointing to the TV show about multinational Rome with potato chips. News of Orthodox Christians causing a commotion.

"If you don't want to get rid of those pests, even if you quell the riot this time, it will be a 'palliative, not a permanent cure'. Just like in the UK, because of the indecision of the 'royal faction' at that time, it has also led to the big and small things in the past ten years. Constant consequences?"

The witch who called herself "Othinus" tossed the witch hat covering her chest to the coat rack aside, stretched herself and hooked it over with her toes and a pillow.

"In today's world, the appeal of the Roman Orthodox Church has plummeted because of repeated downtowns. Britain will definitely stand by this guy, and Russia will definitely not dare to go along with the Roman Orthodox Church because it needs to take care of the Nordic side."

Now that the Nordic side is completely controlled by Sigurd, if the Russian adult religion falls sick and wants to join forces with the Roman Orthodox Church, then the next day, all the associations in Northern Europe will be overwhelming.

As for the Spanish Star Cult, although they were almost exterminated by Sigurd this year, although they have recovered a little bit this year, they don't know whether they were scared of being beaten or simply suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome".

In short, this nearly extinct church has gotten very close to several "golden" associations such as "Twilight Exit" in recent years. Although it has not made an obvious statement, judging from various signs, it seems that it is somewhat about to surrender.

As for France, after the trouble last time, France, which had been in a state of confrontation and had no time to take care of the outside world, has basically completed the reconciliation now.

Coupled with the exposure of the various evils of the Roman Orthodox Church in recent years, the voices of France breaking away from the Roman Orthodox Church and wanting to learn from Britain to establish their own family are also getting louder.

As for Italy, although it has always been controlled by the Roman Orthodox Church, many liberal magic associations have gradually expressed their dissatisfaction with the Roman Orthodox Church.

As for the existence of Germany and other "veteran magic kingdoms", let alone they are not considered subordinates of the Roman Orthodox Church, and now they have clearly expressed the attitude of "we are not the same as the Roman Orthodox Church".

The Roman Orthodox Church has been completely isolated, no force will continue to believe them, and no one will listen to them, especially the point of "making enemies with Sigurd", which has already allowed more than [-]% of the magic associations in the world to directly express their views Stand on the opposite side.

[We cannot accept the practice of the Roman Orthodox Church. What they have imposed on our country, we do not want to happen to any other country.We should not continue to be silent, India will stand in absolute agreement with Academy City, this will never change. 】

[We will lower the tariffs with Academy City, and refuse to provide or produce any products to any country that supports the Roman Orthodox Church.In the event of future wars, India will stand behind Academy City and provide it with sufficient material assistance. 】

India can be said to be the fastest responding group among the "magic side" countries.

Obviously the magic power is weak, but he dared to be the first to jump out and point at the Roman Orthodox Church, presumably because he thought he had a good relationship with Sigurd, and the resentment of being bullied by the Roman Orthodox Church all the year round finally couldn't be suppressed.

And India's statement also gave hope to many people who could only rely on foreign trade to maintain their economy. They successively expressed their willingness to provide necessary material assistance for Academy City, and raised tariffs on the Roman Orthodox Church meaninglessly.

Watching the reports on the Roman Orthodox Church one after another, Matthew Liss could only drink tea with his head down.

He can blame nothing, has no position and no reason.

"What do I need to do..."

"You just need to be a 'dead person' now. This floor is completely isolated from the outside world. No one can find you, and it is impossible for you to contact other people."

Matthew Liss nodded, and then whispered helplessly.

"Mercenary, please promise me a request. I understand that I have no position to ask you anything, but this is the only..."

Matthew Liss raised his head and looked at Sigurd firmly.

"Please don't embarrass those believers who have been kept in the dark. They don't know that they have been deceived by the upper-level bishops. They are just acting for their own beliefs."
