Korax's Mobilization

"Two years ago, I came to Lycaeus. The brothers and sisters in this camp took me in. When the boss brought me to wipe out the criminals who attacked our camp, he gave me a mission.

He asked me to visit various camps on Lycaeus and then answer his questions about the lives of the miners in other camps on this planet. This is also why I met all of you, teachers. In these two years, I've personally visited not only the mining camps but also the High Tower and even Giava.

During these two years of travel, I slowly found my answer. Not long ago, I formally replied to the boss.

I want to lead the miners on Lycaeus in an uprising, completely overthrow the rule of the High Tower, and let the miner brothers and sisters on Lycaeus rise up and become their own masters! This is also why I've gathered everyone here," Korax walked into the spotlight and recounted the events and his decision to all the gathered camp leaders.

"An uprising, but the situation in each camp is too dire right now. We simply don't have the means to resist the weapons in the Overseers' hands," Giovanni said.

Although he was angry about the increasingly outrageous exchange rates at the supply station, directly clashing with the High Tower now would undoubtedly be suicidal.

"Yes, isn't Korax being a bit too hasty?" a group of camp leaders advised.

"Everyone, I know what you're worried about. This goal will not change. It's not about launching an attack on the High Tower right now; that would be no different from sending ourselves to our deaths. Everything needs to be done step by step.

The purpose of organizing everyone here today is to mobilize together and organize a large-scale strike, demanding that the High Tower increase its material supply. It doesn't need to be long; two days will be enough. At most, two days, and the foundries on Giava will grind to a halt due to the lack of raw ore from Lycaeus.

This would be an unforgivable major mistake for Giava, a world that prioritizes production capacity. The Lord of the High Tower cannot withstand the pressure from all of Giava. There are no other places around the galaxy that can supply them with raw materials. As long as we hold out for these two days, victory will be ours," Korax explained his plan to the camp leaders.

Seeing that the camp leaders still had concerns, Korax compromised. Organizing a strike first was something they could accept. The current situation indeed made an uprising impossible. How could a group of emaciated miners possibly charge the High Tower?

"After the material supply improves, everyone can then allocate personnel, similar to the Saviors' camp, to form your own full-time troops. You can even send people here for special training. I plan to launch the uprising within a year at most," Korax gave a clear timeline.

"Damn it, I agree to this!"

"Hell yeah, I've wanted to kill those bastards for a long time!"

"This is indeed feasible and has a higher chance of success."

After a moment of silence, the camp leaders expressed their support. Many of them were elites from Giava and understood it very well. Just as Korax said, the High Tower absolutely could not withstand two days of pressure.

Once many factories stop working, it won't just be for two days. It's similar to glass factories in the 2K era, where furnaces need to maintain a temperature above 1500℃ to melt raw materials during glass production.

If the machines stop, the furnace temperature will drop, causing the molten glass inside to solidify. Reheating will not only take a significant amount of time (up to several days) and energy but may also damage the furnace structure, affecting the stability of subsequent production.

In the end, all these losses would be attributed to the High Tower.

Of course, there was also the possibility of the High Tower sending troops to suppress them, and the chance of death was very high.

But the miners on Lycaeus were precisely not afraid of sacrifice. Such sacrifices were better than watching their loved ones starve to death.

"Good, since that's the case, I'll trouble all of you. We agree to start this strike action three days from now, after the morning shift change!" Korax set the time for everyone.

"Korax, we still have a hidden danger that needs to be resolved," Giovanni said.

"Are you talking about those vultures to the west? Don't worry about them. We'll send people to keep an eye on them. If they cooperate well, fine. If not, don't blame me for settling the score completely afterward." Korax looked in the direction of the ferocious criminals with a cruel smile.

Korax hadn't failed to visit that area in the past two years. When the members of the most vicious organizations had their necks twisted and were hung on the central stone pillars in the west district, their arrogant demeanor subsided considerably.

As for those criminals who didn't believe in evil and tried to take the place of the previous ones, they all suffered the most terrifying acts of retaliation without exception.

Compared to the initial ones who were merely hung on the stone pillars with their necks twisted, the later ones suffered inhuman torture before they died.

And in their blood, seven imposing characters were written on the stone pillars: "Anyone who raids again will be killed without mercy!"

After these two warnings, the west side quieted down for a while. At the very least, they didn't dare to kill people openly anymore.

Some criminals with a shred of conscience would choose to trade with other camps.

Of course, Korax did not relax his vigilance because of their quietude. Several Shadow Kill squads were constantly monitoring these criminals in secret.

Rather than placing hope on the scum of the scum reforming, it was better to believe in the "truth" in one's own hands. Coincidentally, Korax believed that the knives in the hands of Shadow Kill were enough to make them weigh their options carefully.

As the leaders of the other camps reached a consensus, this unprecedented assembly on Lycaeus concluded hastily.

The camp leaders began to return to their respective territories to prepare for the upcoming strike.

"If you need any cooperation from the camp in the next few days, just say the word." After everyone dispersed, Sandman came to Korax's side, offering his greatest support.

"Boss, do you trust them that much?" Korax asked doubtfully.

"Korax, would you give up the sunlight that has finally broken through the cracks after you've finally seen hope?

Besides, rather than trusting them, I trust you," Sandman said, looking at the other camp leaders who were leaving one after another.

Judging people was not his forte, nor did he believe he possessed the charisma of a Primarch, capable of effortlessly winning over others.

Who told Korax to have a good father and a cheat code?
