Understanding the Strategic Importance of Level 120 in Silo’s Power Dynamics
Securing Their Food Supply to Ensure Survival Against Bernard’s Tactics
The Mechanical’s objective was never merely to push the raiders back to level 120; it was a calculated move to gain control over the entire lower section of Silo 18. By securing the 120th floor, they strategically positioned themselves to access the vital farmland located on Level 122. This maneuver is critical, as it guarantees that they can sustain themselves without relying on Bernard, who has shown a willingness to manipulate their food supply. Following the successful push, Knox steps forward, issuing a warning to the raiders that their resistance will only result in casualties, but that the Mechanical stands united in their defense of their new territory.
