In the ball hall, Aslan had just closed his pocket watch when he clearly felt the ground shaking, and the sound of explosions also covered up the music of the ball.
The entire dance instantly fell into chaos.
"What happened?"
"Oh my God, what was that vibration just now?"
"Explosion?"
Aslan stepped back and opened the window door. Black smoke began to rise from several industrial areas, and many factories were filled with flames, making the night look like day.
"This is?"
Curry came to Aslan's side with a look of shock on his face.
"You take people to seek refuge immediately, and I'll go take a look."
Aslan flew out of the window first, and then he saw a large number of clergymen flying out of the Holy Mass Cathedral, among which St. Paul took the lead and rushed towards the explosion area.
Sharon and Artoria soon followed, and Aslan and Bishop Ella said hello and joined their team.
Aslan asked: "Bishop Ella, do you know what happened?"
Bishop Ella shook her head.
"I don't know either. His Majesty Sao Paulo said that the industrial area was bombed."
"What?"
Aslan turned around and flew towards Clement Defense Company without saying a word.
Bishop Ella wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so he could only follow with a few people.
Bishop Ella can also understand Aslan's behavior. After all, if someone wants to blow up your factory, if you don't worry, there must be something behind it.
When Aslan rushed to Clement Defense Company, the place was already a sea of fire.
"Damn it!"
Aslan roared and quickly headed towards other factories. Only Thorn Food Processing Company survived, and almost all of Raytheon Group's factories in Chester were blown up.
Suddenly, Aslan noticed mysterious objects falling from the sky, just a few of them. Violent explosions broke out in the factory not far away, and then they were also caught in a sea of fire.
Aslan caught up with him very quickly.
"Thunder Spear!"
A thunder spear emerged from the palm of Aslan's hand, and he threw it towards the aviation magic soldier who was throwing aerial bombs into the sky.
The aviation magician avoided the danger and fired a shot with his backhand. The golden bullet directly broke the magic shield of the magician Aslan and shocked Arturia who came over.
, hurriedly raised the knight's shield and appeared next to Aslan.
Bishop Ella behind was also startled, and quickly deployed two layers of magic shields before rushing to the rescue.
The two sides exchanged fire, and in the end they could only watch helplessly as the air raiders retreated.
Bishop Ella grabbed Aslan who was still trying to chase him.
"Don't chase them. They are the aviation magic troops of the Melox Empire. Facing mages equipped with aviation magic equipment, our speed and magic range cannot match them."
In the brief confrontation just now, Bishop Ella clearly felt the gap between the two sides. If Amuro didn't have a knight mentor by his side to protect him full-time, he would probably be in danger.
Aslan took a deep breath and barely suppressed his anger.
"This matter cannot be left alone."
Bishop Ella echoed, and a violent explosion of light erupted in the sky, making everyone look at the sky in unison.
"That's a battle between great mentors!"
Bishop Ella and Aslan looked at each other, with fear in each other's eyes.
…
The Merlocks Empire actually dispatched a powerful master of the Grand Mentor level.
Just to bomb Chester.
Aslan was suddenly shocked and said: "Immediately count all the factories in Chester, especially those factories that are closely related to firearms manufacturing. This is definitely a purposeful bombing."
Bishop Ella nodded with a solemn expression. Now, Chester's firearms manufacturing has just begun to improve, but it cannot be severely damaged due to this.
This night was called the Great Foreign Bombing.
The four countries on the outer continent jointly launched a three-hour bombing campaign on the central countries. Both sides dispatched a total of hundreds of great mentor-level experts and thousands of mentor-level experts, and fierce battles broke out in the sky.
Unfortunately, the main purpose of the four countries on the outer continent was bombing, and the duel between strong men was mainly about entanglement, without fighting to the death. It was only when the two sides retreated that they discovered that such a large-scale duel between strong men did not cause any casualties.
But after they finished counting the casualties, almost everyone's face turned green.
All of Raytheon Group's main factories in Chester were destroyed, even the Beresto Lighting Company, leaving only a food processing plant, where thousands of workers were killed and thousands more injured in the bombing.
If we had not been prepared in advance, a large number of employees would have been arrested, and the number of casualties would have continued to increase.
"This is targeted bombing!"
In the Holy Mass Cathedral, Bishop Ella shouted loudly.
In the church hall, many people nodded silently. The casualties caused by this bombing were not many because there were more people on the night shift than on the day shift.
If the bombed area is a residential area, the casualties will be even more horrific.
Aslan stood up and spoke in agreement: "In addition to appeasing the workers, we must also provide them with pensions. Only in this way can we stabilize people's hearts and resume production as much as possible."
When they heard that workers' pensions would be paid, many people became anxious.
There are at least a thousand workers working under them, and there are tens of thousands more. For example, Amuro has tens of thousands of workers in Chester, let alone factories outside the suburbs.
The pension is at least a dozen yuan, or even dozens of dollars. When the number of people increases, no one can bear it.
"If you ask me, this bombing is not just a matter of one or two families, but the whole of Chester. It would be nice if everyone was willing to pay for the pension."
The family representative of the Wutra factory stood up and spoke.
"Yes, it takes money to rebuild the factory and money to buy equipment. If the pension is too much, there is no talk of resuming production. We entrepreneurs may go bankrupt. In the end, more workers will be unemployed and bankrupt. In the end,
starve."
Others stood up and agreed. Apparently many people are unwilling to make too big concessions on the issue of pensions.
"Sir Amuro, I have long heard that you care about the workers, but on this matter, you must maintain a united front with me, otherwise the workers will easily get into trouble, and it will be even more difficult to restore the factory."
The mentor-level experts of the Wutra family also stood up at the right time.
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by all the mentor-level experts.
Raytheon Group's salaries are notoriously high. As a result, as long as Raytheon Group recruits workers, it will inevitably cause employees in other factories to change jobs on a large scale. As a result, the skilled workers they have worked so hard to train have become prepare workers for Raytheon Group.
If Raytheon Group is allowed to take the limelight on pensions this time, when Raytheon Group really resumes production, they may not be able to recruit workers.
From now on, they will no longer allow Raytheon Group to steal the spotlight. They must bring it back to its original level, otherwise it will only bring huge competitive pressure to its peers.
This kind of ‘vicious competition’ is absolutely not allowed to happen.
