Two days later, in the early morning, on the deck of the battleship.

"A few people, it's Larkana up ahead." Erin smiled and pointed ahead.

"Larcana, it's finally back." Sophia stood beside Erin with some excitement. Doss, Leviathan, and Barr also looked up.

Distance.

An incomparably large transparent energy shield was upside down on the ground, barely visible, and its height was even more astonishing. White clouds surround the shield and look impressive.

Under the shield is a large and amazing city, with a radius of more than 100 kilometers.

Actually, this is also normal.

Larkana is the only giant city in the empire, with a population of tens of millions, which is naturally staggering. Around the huge city, there are dense black spots. Baal stared intently, and it seemed to be some ordinary orc gathering place.

Territory construction tokens are precious anomalies.

As a result, the number of territories within the empire is also very limited.

Sometimes, many orcs who have not joined the territory will also organize themselves and set up their own field camps. Over time, it will slowly develop into a fixed gathering place, and where there are many gathering places, a trading market will also be formed.

However, these colonies are not upgradeable like provinces, nor are they supported by system buildings, so they develop very slowly. Moreover, due to the lack of necessary defense forces, they are generally found in the relatively safe western continent, but it is difficult to see them in the border areas of the eastern continent.

Larkana was the imperial capital, and the geographical and trade environment was very advantageous.

The city is garrisoned by the most elite troops of the Orc Kingdom, and there are no bandits and strongmen who dare to come here to make trouble, and it is safe to be safe. Naturally, it will attract a large number of displaced people, and over time, it is reasonable that a large number of gathering places will appear.

"What's that?" Barr looked ahead.

Many small black dots swirled around the shroud, trailing pale blue light behind them, which looked very beautiful.

When the battleship slowly approached, he realized that these little black dots were actually some strange magical energy machines. It was about the size of a water tank, with a cannon muzzle sticking out of front of it, and it looked like it was supposed to be an offensive weapon. As they approached on the battleship, a dozen of them stopped at once, their guns pointed at this side.

Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled.

Erin explained with a smile: "This is Larkana's outermost defensive weapon, the Sky Splitting Railgun, which is not small in size, but extremely powerful. If an outsider breaks in from the sky, they will be attacked immediately, and creatures below the lord level will never survive. ”

"It's so powerful."

The three of them looked at the Sky Splitting Railgun in surprise. Sophia, who was beside Erin, didn't change her face, but Sophia was a student at the Imperial Academy and should have known about this for a long time.

Soon.

The battleship stopped.

There is still about a kilometer away from the shield, and dozens of split-air railguns have surrounded the battleship. The muzzle of the cannon glowed with a pale blue, and it looked like it could attack at any moment.

Leviathan and Doss looked a little nervous, after all, it didn't feel good to be locked by so many muzzles. Doss, who was on the side, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his keen perception made him feel more obvious than the rest.

Barr didn't care.

He has the ability to act and semi-awaken, and no matter how powerful these Sky Splitting Railguns are, he can run away in an instant.

"This is the Imperial Forbidden Zone, please show your identity certificate."

The sound came from a Sky Cracker railgun floating directly in front of it.

Brush.

Erin took out a blue card and said in a loud voice: "I am the Eighteenth Empress of the Empire-Irene." ”

Buzz~

A blue ray of light shot into the card in Erin's hand, and then the light quickly spread, completely enveloping the entire battleship, "Identity confirmed, Highness Erin, welcome back to Larcana." ”

Whoosh...

The rift railguns around the battleship quickly flew away, and the shield in front opened a circular gap tens of meters in size.

"Forward."

The battleship sailed into it, and the gap was restored.

......

Rumble.

As soon as the battleship entered the inside of the shield, it lowered its altitude and flew in mid-air.

"Larkana."

Barr leaned on the railing, looking down.

I didn't think it was far away just now, but when I came in, I realized that there were many more gathering places here than it seemed from a distance. It stretches for hundreds of kilometers until it is about ten kilometers away from the city walls. Larkana was the imperial capital, and it was naturally impossible for these ordinary people to live too close to the city walls.

Battleships flew by.

Barr looked around with interest.

There are many large and small gathering places below, and some of them have small patches of farmland on the periphery. As the warship sailed by, you could still see several small trading markets from time to time, which bought and sold basic necessities and the like.

The gathering place was inhabited by orcs of various ethnic groups, and Baal also saw many minotaurs among them. Although these orcs are dressed in shabby, they look pretty good, much better than the refugees on the border.

"How did it feel to be in Larkana for the first time?" Erin walked over with a smile, and Sophia followed her.

"Hmm... It's pretty big. Barr thought for a moment.

"Oh, the lord's insight is special." Erin was stunned.

"Dirt buns." Next to Sophia burst out laughing.

"Sophia."

Erin glanced at Sophia a little unhappily and shook her head secretly, she now regretted it a little and took Sophia to the fifth courtyard with her.

"Alright, well, I'm sorry, Lord Bal." Sophia said nonchalantly.

"Nothing." Barr smiled and said, "I'm originally from a civilian family, and I used to work as a miner, so there's nothing wrong with what you said." ”

"Hey, aren't you the nephew of Duke DeWitt, how can you be a miner?" Sophia said a little strangely.

"Who told you that the duke's nephew can't mine?" Barr said casually.

Suddenly.

"Huh?"

Baal's face moved, and he turned his head to look ahead. A flash of fire lit up from more than a dozen kilometers ahead, and under his keen hearing, the sound of battle was faintly captured.

The ship moves extremely fast.

Moment.

The scene ahead came into view.

Barr's face changed slightly. It was a big gathering place, but at this time, it was a mess. Large swaths of houses fell to the ground, and smoke rose from the ruins in flames.

A clearing not far to the west is full of orc corpses, like a low mountain, fox people, werewolves, minotaurs... That's probably a lot of them. Hundreds of lion-man soldiers in silver armor stood aside, and some soldiers searched the ruins.

A blood-red bead floats in midair.

The blood in the corpse below was constantly being drawn out, like bright red ribbons, constantly merging into the beads. If you look closely, the inside of the bead is like a sea of blood, and the faces of people in pain are struggling in it, which looks extremely weird.

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Barr turned to look at Erin on the side.

"This." Erin also frowned, and she also saw the scene ahead, there were many minotaurs among the orcs who were killed. And the Minotaur clan has always been united, and she now has a request for Baal, which is difficult to answer for a while.

"Oh, I can probably guess that."

Sophia next to her took over and said, "Those wearing silver armor are all soldiers of the outer city guards, and as for the villagers in these gathering places who were killed, they should have taken in people who illegally entered Larcana.

"Illegal entry, what does that mean?" Barr wondered.

"Don't you know?" "According to imperial law, only people with citizenship can enter Larcana. However, there are often some unknown people sneaking in, and it is the duty of the outer city guard to arrest them. ”

"If these people are caught, they will be immediately put to death."

"If they hide outside in a gathering place and the villagers deliberately conceal it, they will also be found guilty of the same crime. Presumably, the following villagers were killed because of this. Sophia continued.

"What's the matter with that red bead?" Baal's face was ugly, and if he expected it to be right, the faces inside the beads should be the souls of the dead. It's just a matter of killing people, not even letting go of the soul, and the methods are too cruel.

"What beads? Where? ”

The battleship flew closer and closer.

Sophia soon spotted the red beads in mid-air, and wondered, "Hey, what is this?" Sister Erin, do you know? ”

"I don't know." Erin looked at the familiar figure in front of the soldier and dodged her eyes.

......

on the ground.

In front of the lion soldiers, two figures stood.

On the left, there is a handsome lion man wearing a golden mage robe and holding a magic staff, who looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and his gestures reveal a noble temperament, and he looks extraordinary.

Next to him was a young lion man with black swords.

The young man was of medium stature, wearing silver-gray chain mail, his face was slightly pale, and there was a faint lilac light in his star-like eyes, giving people a sense of evil charm.

"Viscount Rupert, with me, collecting the souls of 200,000 ordinary people, it couldn't be easier." The golden-robed young man said with a proud face, "As long as you help me find the bloodline evolution pool, even if it is a million souls, it is just a trivial matter." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured."

"However, the soul of this ordinary person is still a little worse, and it is even better if it is the soul of a professional." Rupert looked at the Blood Soul Bead in mid-air and smiled slightly, although he was a lion genius and famous, but with him alone, it was not easy to collect 200,000 souls.

Now that the fifteenth prince Rachel helps, it is much easier.
