77. Faceless God of War
Now, the behemoth was broken into several pieces, and two-thirds of its body was buried deep into the bottom of the lake, revealing only the top piece of broken steel.
Around it, there used to be a huge lake, but now the lake is long gone, and in its place is a huge sinkhole.
At the moment when it fell to the ground, a large earthquake wave triggered a roaring volcano and a violent earthquake in a radius of thousands of square kilometers around it, and the wind carried the boulder from a height of thousands of meters.
Humans could not have imagined that a huge crashing sound hit the brain. At that moment, the sky cracked, the sea poured in, and the stars were shaken.
The energy released by it can be felt even by people as far away as the western continent.
At the time of that great catastrophe, this artificial satellite city, in fact, had been torn apart by the powerful tidal force within the limit of Loch that fell into the earth, and it was broken in half.
Half fell directly to the earth's surface; The other half was thrown into orbit by the Earth's satellite with huge amounts of kinetic energy, and some of the debris formed into smaller fragments before falling to the ground for weeks, forming a spectacular meteor shower.
It was only a few hundred years before humans began to move around the region again.
Humans are a creature that should not be underestimated......
What a powerful regenerative power this is! If we push back thousands of years, I don't know if a more splendid human civilization will be formed.
……
Of course, this kind of thing would never have been thought of in the minds of the two people who had just jumped out of the car and walked into the inn - they were now intoxicated with their "great" dreams.
The two people who woke up in the early morning hurriedly jumped into the car and went straight to the ancient iron city, leaving a puff of smoke and dust behind them.
Led by the scout, it was easy for them to enter the interior of the Old Iron City, a city on the edge of a parched lake-bottom basin.
On the cliffs of the huge basin, many stone caves have been dug, and those busy miners are transporting materials to the basin, such as ore, broken machinery unearthed from previous civilizations, and waste parts.
From time to time, convoys of merchants pass by on both sides of the road, buying parts and various machinery along the way.
The Faceless God of War is the ruler of the region.
No one had ever seen him for what he really was, not even his men. Because, the people who have seen his true face are definitely dead. He wears a mask on his head all the year round, a smooth mask with almost no facial features, only two eyes and holes for breathing are exposed.
His dwelling, on the northern edge of the basin, on the highest hill outside the sinkhole, was a fortress that had taken him years to erect, and was not only impregnable on the outside, but also heavily fortified on the inside.
Just below his castle, the streets of the ancient iron city were arranged in concentric circles, and the huge city stretched down into the hills, and at the center of the circle was his castle.
The buildings on both sides of the street are very orderly, there are no particularly tall buildings, and the tallest is only 7.8 floors, and it is said that the city was built by the "Faceless God of War".
It seems that this place is simply a model city for new humans to live in after the cataclysm.
He was worshiped by the locals as a "god".
It was he who led those people to rise again from the underground ruins not far north of the "Land of the Fallen Stars", from the deep underground bunkers farther away, from the vast wilderness.
The Ancient Iron City is indeed a great city!
Unlike other cities on the continent, it has no pre-civilization buildings around it except for the "Land of the Fallen Stars", a relic of a former civilization. Because, even if there were any traces of buildings or human activities, they were completely destroyed in the disaster hundreds of years ago, and there was not even any scum left.
At this moment, the king of the ruins was standing on the top of his huge castle, on an open-air balcony.
It is full of all kinds of plants, as well as tall trees. The walls are covered with vines, as if there was a botanical garden. The platform was large enough to hold hundreds of cars, and it was enough for the entire city's troops to drive around.
And on the platform that surrounds the entire castle on the upper level, there are actually some facilities similar to playgrounds. In various places in the amusement park, there are some small stalls at random, and there is actually an antique merry-go-round, just like the layout of the giant amusement parks of pre-civilizations.
The whole castle is like a carnival that is always open, and every room of the castle is filled with exquisite aromatherapy and other strange knick-knacks collected from all over the world.
Does he like playgrounds? Is this his fetish?
However, only a few of his personal guards knew about this.
Even so, none of the guards had ever seen his face, not even the maid who brought him food, nor the maid who bathed and changed his clothes, and he had always worn the smooth mask, which he had never removed.
The guards were men and women, but they never left the castle. Unless it's a guard who leaves with his permission, such as some old or sick...... This is also his rule.
His rules are very strict, and there are no exceptions.
Because this is the creed he kept, he is a man of faith - whoever has seen his face will die! Whoever transgresses his iron law will surely die. Whoever violates the local law and kills must also die!
His will is the law of the city and the entire region.
He is definitely a cold-faced emperor.
On the streets of the ancient iron city, there are sentry posts every few hundred meters - to survive in this era, safe xi
G comes first, and this is no exception. The outposts were under the control of the Faceless War's thugs, like scattered camps, each with a general in charge.
These generals are the administrators that the Faceless God of War uses to govern this vast city.
There are four managers, each representing them with the four suits in the playing cards.
These patterns were tattooed on them and their hands, and it was impossible to remove them unless the skin was removed.
The Iron Claw Tiger and the spy from the "Camp of Hearts" were standing in front of a small boss at this moment......
Like other gangs, each commander has a number of small bosses who are responsible for wooing people from other gangs, expanding the gang's lineup, and joining the gang is simple, assigning you what you can do.
It's the simplest principle of distribution, but under the rule of the Faceless God of War, his thugs are disciplined — he manages them like an army, not just a loose free-range management like other gangs.
Under his iron fist, rewards and punishments must be severe.
He had a private court in the city, and the judges were composed of ordinary citizens from all parts of the city, and a total of 13 citizens served as judges.
It is said to have inherited some of the judicial features of the pre-civilization era.
These 13 people are rotated at any time and are not fixed. Only when they unanimously pass a certain result will it be executed. As long as one person is against the vote, or if there is no consensus between them, it will not be implemented, and they must negotiate a unanimous vote.
And these people are ordinary citizens, they are people from all walks of life.
