Chapter 392: Caiyun City

The sky was getting darker, and the sunset reflected half of the sky.

As the temperature continues to drop, the evening breeze becomes cold and biting. The sun is coming to an end, and with it will be a long night.

The airship in high-speed navigation finally arrived at its destination before dark.

This is also a city on the top of a high mountain, the difference is that the city is more coquettish, and the main body of the city is built with colorful rocks.

Caiyun City, the city is as its name suggests.

From a distance, it looks like a colorful cloud floating in the sky.

The United Kingdom of Arathi uses airships as the main means of transportation, and almost every city has expanded airship routes, and the airship docking towers built are also extremely majestic, much larger than those of other countries, to meet their huge daily cargo throughput.

The cities at the top of the mountain are unable to meet their daily consumption through conventional means, and most of their daily necessities are transported by airships.

In addition, the United Kingdom of Arathi has the magic airship construction technology left over from the Arcane Empire era, although it is only a superficial technology that some gods disdain to eliminate, but it also allows the United Kingdom of Arathi to develop and manufacture airships independently, which makes them one of the most frequently used countries for airships, with a network of airship routes almost all over the country.

Although most of today's airship routes have been destroyed, they can still meet the material consumption of some cities, of course, the prices of various materials are already ridiculously high, especially necessities such as food and salt, and the prices have been increased by more than ten times by black market merchants.

The nations of humanity have blockaded the Arathi Mountains.

As a result, there are very few chambers of commerce that dare to trade with Melissa and them, and only some black market risk merchants who take risks for high profits dare to continue trading blatantly.

Most of these black market venture merchants come from the neutral Church of the Goddess of Commerce, they have the goddess of commerce and wealth as their backers, and the human nations dare not prohibit them from entering and leaving the Arathi Mountains, so that Melissa and them can still struggle to survive.

This time, after Melissa defected to the Desert Kingdom, the cooperation between the two sides included the material transaction, which purchased various materials from the Desert Kingdom at three times the market price.

The Desert Kingdom itself was originally very short of materials, especially the food that was difficult to produce in the desert area, but now with the area of the oasis getting bigger and bigger with the help of the balance of life, the Desert Kingdom even has a surplus of food, plus the supplies from the undead realm, it is full of dozens of large airships.

These large airships, loaded with all kinds of supplies, are now heading towards the Arathi Mountains under the protection of the Desert Kingdom's battle airships.

In order to ensure that it would not be attacked by the air forces of the human countries on the way, the Undead Realm also sent a large group of skeletal griffin knights and three powerful undead bone dragons to escort them, one of which was a member of the Council of the Dead, a bone dragon whose strength was as high as the peak of the demigods: Edward.

The realm of the undead attaches great importance to the transportation of materials this time, and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse secretly arranged by the Cataclysm Legion can resist even in the face of the attack of the god clone, which can already be said to be foolproof.

Originally, the airship route from the Arathi Mountains to the Death Sand Sea was completely blocked by the Air Force of the United Kingdom of Arahi, and they would not let any creature fly into the Arashi Mountains to fight with the flying monsters from the Death Sand Sea, or the flying undead from the Undead Country.

Now they have to meet the former enemy here and ensure that those life-saving supplies can arrive safely, which is also a spiritual test for these air force soldiers.

Once enemies turned friends, presumably it will take time for them to get used to it.

Melissa is actually a powerful nobleman guarding the border, and her formed griffon knights are the defense force of the border, so that they are not killed by the gods, unlike their comrades who protect the capital.

Chen Yue's airship belonged to the Chamber of Commerce under the Goddess of Commerce, and they also paid a high fee to let the black-hearted venture businessman take them a little bit.

Now after arriving at their destination, they were quickly bombed off the airship, but the black-hearted merchant was not long dead, and the Shadow Curse had been carved into his soul, which was the punishment for his unclean speech, which annoyed Antilesia and them, and even the goddess of commerce could not save the black-hearted merchant.

…………………………

Chen Yue: Their destination this time is Caiyun City.

It is a high mountain city near the borders of the human countries, and from here you can even see a huge alluvial plain, which is the richest place where the two largest rivers of the main plane intersect, and it is also the core area of human habitation, where hundreds of millions of people have taken root and thrived.

The alluvial plain is the most suitable area for human habitation, with fertile land and a moderate warm climate, and no major disasters.

Caiyun City in the Arashi Mountains is like a gate where the mountains and the plains meet.

It used to be extremely prosperous, the largest gathering place of the Chamber of Commerce, and had one of the best airship ports on the mainland in terms of annual throughput, but now there are only two or three kittens.

The medium-sized commercial airship that Chen Yue and the others were riding in when they came was even the largest airship here, but the giant airship tower still seemed so small compared to it.

After all, these airship towers were built to match the super-large airships, that is, the largest airships prescribed by the gods, and now they are used to dock medium-sized commercial airships, which seem a little too empty, and there is no flow of people who used to come and go.

Those coolies who made a living by carrying goods saw the airship of the goddess of commerce docked, and immediately rushed up like crazy, wanting to take over the work of carrying goods.

They haven't eaten for days, and the money they have saved up to marry their wives has been used to fill their stomachs with the high price of food, but this is only a drop in the bucket.

Nowadays, the number of airships is getting smaller and smaller, and they lack jobs, so they have no source of money, and they can't afford to buy food, and without food, they have no strength, and they can't do the hard work of carrying goods, and they fall into a vicious circle, and they may eventually starve to death.

This kind of thing happened not only to the coolies of Airship Harbor, but almost all the cities in the entire Arathi Mountains fell into a state of lack of food.

The fields under the mountain where food was grown were ravaged by the monsters and sub-races, and the population of the villages that depended on farming for a living was massacred.
