The Imperial Castle is a huge castle built on a hill surrounded by mountains.

A castle that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people can be imagined how majestic it must be.

The location of the castle is unique, with mountains on both sides and water on the other, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Dangerous passes, cliffs, the geographical location is at a high place, the outer circle is inside, the outer wall is all designed as a curved surface, and there are small fortress synapses at a distance of 100 meters between the fronts, if there is an enemy attack, it will suffer from three-dimensional fire as soon as it is approached.

If a war starts, the castle will be reduced to a giant mill.

This huge castle was built for war purposes at first glance, and even for the uninitiated, it can be seen at a glance that the type of enemy targeted is the Freak.

Although Chu Yu is a layman, Dracula is a real expert.

Because of the water and mountains on one side, once the Freak attacks from the front, the number of enemies that can approach the castle is very small, and it will only continue to drain the vitality.

Of course, this also has a huge drawback, that is, it is okay to hold on, once it is broken into the castle head-on, it is a catastrophe, and there is not even a strategic depth.

Zero 13 has also said before that if a weapon with a large amount of destructive energy is used, the ecological balance of the fifth layer will reach its peak, causing natural disasters.

Regarding this point, in fact, Chu Yu had already confirmed it on the fourth layer, and it was precisely because the explosives they used blew up the Oblivion Circle Pit that the number of deformed monsters doubled.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved on the fourth layer, a large number of deformed monsters were resurrected on the fifth layer.

In short, the situation of the fifth layer is even more dangerous than that of the fourth layer, the ecological balance value of the former has reached its peak, and if there is another big explosion, the last intelligent race of the fifth layer will also be extinct.

Because it is impossible to use weapons with more destructive power, the castle is basically used with cold weapons to defend the city.

Trebuchets, ballistas, devices for pouring boiling liquids, etc., and then some hand cannon muzzles for individual soldiers.

Ralph Wyatt, as the supreme commander of the border army and the supreme military commander of the entire empire, personally accompanied the three of Chu Yu into the city gate.

Wyatt was very talkative, and barely took the initiative to ask anything, only talking about the situation on the fifth level of the underground.

As soon as you enter the Imperial Castle, the first thing that catches your eye is the transportation system, a planning concept that is clearly controlled by the etiquette system, backward, feudal, and very different.

The urban planning is strictly in accordance with the construction mode of the "camp" system, which all embodies the feudal ideology of hierarchy, dignity and inferiority, and the supremacy of imperial power.

The road traffic system is chaotic, with a circular and loose road network, and as you go deeper into the castle, there is a clear distinction between public and private areas.

The private area is a square two-story building covering an area of more than 100 square meters, the roof is some kind of antenna-like device, and the building has only one window and entrance.

This style of architecture, clearly prepared for street fighting, allows people to enter the building and exert its last ounce of value once it has been invaded by deformities.

Wyatt also said before that the surface is the residence of residents, and the place of work is underground, so Chu Yu has not seen the so-called arsenal and buildings related to people's livelihood.

There are very few inhabitants to be seen in the streets of the castle, all of them are dressed in black robes, although they are very strong and ruddy, but their eyes are very blank, like walking with corpses, all of them have prosthetic limbs, but they are incomplete, and they lack arms and legs.

The prosthetic limbs of these residents look like bargains, similar to normal arms and legs, finger joints or footsteps, all kinds of tools that are worn out or worn out.

In one sentence, it can be described as a person, and as far as the eye can see, an individual is a disability.

It's hard to imagine that a highly intelligent civilization that can create mechs for combat and engineering can have such a dilapidated core city.

However, Chu Yu was not very surprised by this.

The ecological balance value is a noose hanging from the neck of the empire.

Not only weapons, but also any investment in people's livelihood or military industry will have an impact on energy.

Not to mention getting an elevator, that is

The exhaust gas from the trolley will affect the environment, thus affecting the value of the ecological balance.

Chu Yu sighed slightly.

This is an extremely deformed civilization, from people to architecture, from architecture to system, from system to spirit, all of them are wonderful.

Wyatt walked in front, laughing heartily, and from time to time introduced the customs and people of the Imperial Castle to the three of Chu Yu.

In fact, there are no rich people, it is nothing more than how many years the founding of the country has been founded, how many times it has been destroyed, how strong the people are, how wise the leaders are, and so on.

In Wyatt's eyes, all of this was normal.

Because the Empire has always been like this, with the limit of ecological balance values, and facing the threat of deformities, it seems to be a remarkable achievement that the Empire has been able to sustain itself to this day.

There were not many residents on the street, and when they saw Wyatt and his party, they stopped and bowed their heads to show respect and humility.

Just when Chu Yu thought that the entire city was so dilapidated, Wyatt took the three of them to the Imperial City area, that is, the Shangcheng District.

Separated only by a huge metal door, after stepping through the threshold, it is as if you have entered another world.

A patchwork of high-rise buildings of different styles, like high-end villas in the surface world.

However, this type of building is rare, and unlike the dense architectural style of the lower city slums, there is hardly any space utilization to speak of.

And the most attractive thing is the palace under the top of the mountain, the palace with golden splendor.

On both sides of the palace, there are towering buildings of various shapes.

Seeing Chu Yu's gaze over, Wyatt opened his mouth to explain.

"These devices are enough to represent the crystallization of the highest wisdom of our imperial civilization. Wyatt looked proud, pointing to a large chimney-like building on the far left and said, "Silent Snooper, similar to your radar system on the surface, monitors the movement of objects throughout the underground through the spread of sound waves, and if a large number of deformities are coming, we will anticipate in advance." ”

Dracula: "Radar system for voyeurism. ”

Chu Yu nodded, thinking it was very appropriate, of course, it was a radar system, not a voyeur system.

This thing should function like the ultrasonic wave used by bats to find their way, but it is only a more powerful version, and this technology is also used in the surface world, and the sonar positioning used by submarines is similar to this thing, but the detection range is not so far.

Wyatt's finger pointed to a large black hole and boxy house: "The Black Crystal Palace, which can simulate different ecological environments, cultivate food seeds to a near-mature stage, and then send them to the lower city." ”

Dracula: "Deli processing plant. ”

Chu Yu: "... ”

"In the Immortal Academy, the descendants of every nobleman will enter the academy to participate in training, and only those who successfully graduate from the academy can become true nobles. ”

Speaking of this, Wyatt paused, hesitated for a moment, and added, "In the Immortal Academy, the descendants of nobles can obtain the right to transform their bodies, and thus have a longer lifespan. ”

Dracula: "For the high-class." ”

Chu Yu smiled dumbly.

Originally, I thought it was a military school, but it turned out to be special treatment.

Chu Yu's gaze fell on a very strange building, this building was the smallest, made of metal, and the shape was that of a giant carrying a huge ball.

"What kind of device is this?"

"The Imperial Energy Conversion System, which connects to the underground, extracts and rearranges the elemental substances that can be used. ”

Chu Yu sighed slightly.

Dracula: "Recycling and repurposing waste. ”

Yan Snake gave a thumbs up: "Brother De's comment is really to the point." ”

"All the 'crystals of wisdom' are in the aristocratic region. Dracula Yang said strangely: "Tut-tut, the difference between the commoner area and the noble area, heh." ”

Wyatt glanced at Dracula slightly, smiled, and said nothing.

He's gotten used to it all the way, and Dracula has been cold

Mocking, it seems that he is not used to everything that the empire has to offer.

Chu Yu originally felt the same way, but different civilized races have different development processes, not to mention the eldest brother, the surface world is not necessarily much better, it is just enslaving the toiling masses in another way.

Chu Yu could see that when he first entered the city, although Wyatt had a smile on his face, his body was tense and seemed to be very uncomfortable, but after coming to the aristocratic area, he naturally relaxed.

This feeling is like a billionaire walking in a slum, full of discomfort.

The so-called nobles, dressed in gorgeous white robes, nodded slightly when they saw Wyatt, and stayed in place for a second or two, and then looked at the three of Chu Yu in a little surprise.

Chu Yu knew that this group of people was communicating, communicating silently, and even monosyllables were omitted.

The prosthetic limbs of the nobles were very few, and the limbs were basically sound, except for the fingers or one arm that had been replaced.

After following Wyatt, the three of Chu Yu finally came to the end of the depths of the Imperial Castle, a huge palace resplendent with golden splendor, and this is also the most oss place in the empire to receive the three of them.

After stepping into the palace, Chu Yu's brows couldn't help but rise.

When he was just outside, the palace was majestic and majestic, because it was built on a high place, and the light emitted by the heavenly bedrock almost blinded his dog's eyes.

As a result, when I came in, I found that the palace was very dark, and the cold wind was swishing, not physiologically cold, but psychological.

The flame snake who was walking side by side with Chu Yu whispered, "I'm very uncomfortable here. ”

Dracula nodded, "I feel the same way. ”

After entering the palace, Wyatt walked forward quickly, and then knelt on one knee.

In the darkness, there were almost inaudible footsteps, followed by a large number of figures pouring out from both sides.

All of them are women, extremely hot women.

Long flaxen-colored hair tied into a long ponytail, tight leather clothing, the right eye is a prominent crystal eye patch, only revealing the black left eye without any color, and the lower part of the pretty face is a gas mask-like device, draped in a scarlet cloak, which should be heroic, but it gives people an extremely cold temperament.

The crystal blindfold seemed to be some kind of aiming system, with a small black dot on it, constantly changing positions with the direction of Chu Yu's movement.

These women were supposed to act as guards, each carrying a longbow resembling a compound bow with mechanically powered serrations on their backs, a quiver around their waists, and a prosthetic leg in their right hand, which at first glance looked like a prosthetic made specifically for arrows.

Yan Snake is an expert in playing with bows, and sneered: "Silent arrows, auxiliary power excitation and aiming, are the most suitable for assassination, the ultimate embodiment of long-range strikes with cold weapons." ”

There was another sound of heavy footsteps, and at the end of the line came two groups of heavily armored soldiers, each wearing a glittering golden helmet and holding a very intricate spear, guarding the throne that represented supremacy.

Chu Yu looked down at the subatomic collider in his palm, and whispered to the vigilant flame snake: "Don't get excited, the energy of the subatomic collider is enough for us to change again." ”

The flame snake nodded, and gradually relaxed.

He was a little expecting to fight with this group of people and become giants to tear down a city, and when he thought of this scene, the blood of the flame snake beast boiled.

Dracula, on the other hand, yawned disapprovingly, as if he wasn't interested in anything.

Chu Yu looked at Wyatt on the front right, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Because Wyatt's face looked confused.

Come to think of it, the armored soldier who is both a longbow man and a gun in his hand is obviously different from the "reception" he expected.

The person who thinks he is the protagonist is always the last to appear, as if the bigger the pomp, the more he can highlight the fact that he is the protagonist.

His Majesty the Emperor, who is in charge of the entire empire, has finally appeared.
