Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 1023

To control people in these wastelands, the consortiums were used to keeping all the production resources firmly in their hands. Water, land, and everything that the people relied on for survival were all controlled.

When Peter was at Stronghold 113, he had profoundly said to Milo, “This is a world that has been meticulously designed by the consortiums.”

Previously, even Peter did not dare to break this status quo. Fortress 178 could not even take in any refugees because if they broke this rule, everyone would start attacking them.

For example, Bidara City had wanted to completely open its gates to everyone and sought to end any differentiation between refugees and stronghold residents. However, they were warned by the Virtuora Consortium, the Stelaria Consortium, and the Stardust Consortium as soon as they introduced those changes.

In the end, documents like “visas” were created, and there was still a huge gulf in the treatment of refugees and stronghold residents.
