Gus opened his mouth, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Young people have reached the age of ignorance and blazing. Sometimes they wake up in the middle of the night by the power of dryness and heat, and they will be surprised at their own expansion.


    So, he knows what it''s like to fall in love with a girl, and he knows, er, what the devil means by "picking up a girl.".


    I just didn''t expect that the supernatural beings and Demons above me are so... Approachable, grounded, and need to pick up girls?


    The boy suddenly felt that the so-called gods and demons were no different from mortals.


    In other words, mortals can also become gods and demons. Does the so-called "Ascension" really exist?


    This night, in the face of the dark road ahead, Gus thought for a long time.


    He did not rashly agree to the devil''s request, but also did not flatly refuse.


    He decided to see more scenery along the way before making a decision.


    In the next half month, the fleet full of mechanical demons and steam demons continued to sail down the river towards the "land of hope" in the south.


    Along the way, they were intercepted several times by the iron fist army.


    But after all, the message of the temple of boxing was too slow. There were not many troops dispatched, and the rank of the strong was not as high as that of "Luotian high priest" in Qianyuan city.


    The residents on both sides of the river, even if they are not believers of the "mechanical and steam religion", are often sympathizers and secret supporters. Gus is assisted by the arrow blaster and Vulcan gun provided by the devil.


    Therefore, there is no barrier that can successfully intercept them.


    Countless iron fists, swept by Gus''s firepower, turned into scarlet powder.


    As a result, Gus''s position in the minds of the defeated soldiers is getting higher and higher day by day, and the name of "Holy Son" has long been worthy of its name and deeply imprinted in the hearts of all believers.


    They used to be homeless dogs who fled in a hurry, but with the encouragement of "the coming of the son", their morale rose to the extreme. It seemed that they were not fleeing to the south, but marching to the south to take part in the decisive battle between the iron fist army and the steam Army.


    Indeed, the more southward the fleet sailed and saw the scenery on both sides of the river, the weaker the control of the temple.


    This can be seen from the docks on both sides of the river and the facilities in cities and towns.


    In the beginning, when they were still in the north, the docks on both sides of the river, whether loading and unloading goods or towing ships, were often driven by manpower.


    They have seen countless strong men, who can carry hundreds of kilograms of goods by themselves and trample the planks on the wharf.


    I''ve also seen countless dark skinned and steel strong trackers towing boats through the turbulent waves with cables thick and thin in their arms.


    No matter how hard work or dangerous area, people seldom use tools, let alone complicated machinery.


    But as the fleet went all the way south, the battle flag of the iron fist army, which was drawing the iron fist, became more and more sparse and dim. On the contrary, all kinds of tools relying on winch and gear drive and using leverage to reduce the burden appeared on the wharf.


    Those ingeniously designed levers and slings can be driven by ordinary people or even women, who are thin and weak, to lift the goods directly from the ship and slide them to the warehouse on the shore.


    Further south, Gus even saw some water driven mills and factories in some villages along the river. They were running day and night. The rumble of machinery was more turbulent than the river.


    Andre, the commander of the fleet, told Gus that in the south, the flour produced by the water driven mill is white and fine, which is at least two grades higher than that produced by manual milling in the north, but the price is 30% to 30% cheaper.


    Similarly, many spinning factories in the South use water-driven spinning machines to spin fabrics that are strong, light and cheap. Even with the secret transportation to the north, it is more cost-effective than the hand-made homespun fabrics on the market in the north.


    Even the northern believers, who are most devout to the God of boxing, are excited when they are faced with cheaper but better quality flour or cloth.


    In the south, water power has gradually been replaced by more stable and powerful steam power, and all kinds of goods there are more diversified and cheap!


    Southern merchants secretly transported these goods to the north to earn a lot of profits. Northern residents never thought that there were so many exquisite things in the world, and the price was so cheap.


    In this way, all kinds of goods originally dedicated to the temple of boxing came to the pockets of Southern merchants.


    The temple of boxing was so angry that it naturally turned the southern merchants into heretics and regarded the commodities they made with the power of machinery and steam as the temptation of demons.


    The temple of boxing cut off the trade routes and arrested the merchants. It also sent the iron fist army to the swamp areas with dense water networks in the south, which were originally considered unimportant towns, smashed the machinery, burned factories, and tried to suppress all the activities of the "machinery and steam cult".


    In the final analysis, the so-called struggle for faith is a struggle for interests. The businessmen in the South who destroyed the factory were unwilling to wait for death. They took out all their wealth and organized a "steam army" to defend the factory and the business road. They also spent a lot of money to support the activities of the "machine and steam cult" in the north, trying to dig the corner of the temple from the root.


    In this way, the "steam rebellion" has become more and more intense. Up to now, in the south, the steam army has been able to compete with the iron fist army, and even has a tendency to catch up.


    If the former Gus had heard of such magnificent changes, he would have been excited and excited. He would like to join the steam army as soon as possible to represent the new forces full of vitality and eliminate the old ones.


    But now, from the devil''s mouth, it seems that the magnificent alternation of the old and the new is nothing more than a play expected by the "God of boxing". These people who struggle, struggle, fight and sacrifice for their own destiny, and these believers who sincerely worship their true God and believe that the bright future will come, are just pieces of chess played by the "God of boxing", Even, it''s just a bunch of trivial data.


    Youth is sad and angry.


    He wanted to roar into the sky, but at last he swore in his heart.


    He vowed that he would make the damned God of Boxing - no, the damned champion pay the price.


    He will let the champion see them - whether they are chessmen, mole ants, or a string of insignificant data that can be tampered with and erased at will!


    Finally, half a month after leaving Qianyuan City, the fleet sailed into the southern region.


    The North-South boundary is a dilapidated and burning fortress.


    Originally controlled by the temple of boxing, the fortress garrisoned by the iron fist army is now broken by the steam army. It seems that the solid copper wall is full of holes blasted by steam cannons. What burns on the fortress is the glorious iron fist flag of the past!
