If this is the Emperor's fortress, the news is indeed shocking, and I believe it will be a bolt from the blue not only for her, but for everyone.

What to do?

The emperor commanded the attack of the ground forces at a height of tens of thousands of meters, which was simply invincible, let alone the current era, even from the perspective of the previous civilization, it was difficult to attack such a behemoth floating in the air.

No, you have to fly up to see what is going on.

Joyna made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and continued to climb up against the cold wind, she had never flown this high since she had received her evolved body.

But at the same time, she was thinking about the falling fire meteors in her heart, and her heart sent out her spiritual power at will, and she immediately communicated with Sister Monica.

A few seconds later, the faces of Anna and Yvon appeared on her arm.

"I just saw something like a meteor, falling in the direction of the base laboratory, I'm afraid it's another attack launched by the ancient iron city! You quickly contact the others, guard the area, and send reinforcements. ”

"No problem, Queen. Actually, we also noticed billowing smoke rising from the area of the hill, and we have already told Dr. Su that he and we are on our way there. ”

"Then you must be careful, retreat if there is danger, don't fight hard, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties!"

"Yes!"

After arranging these things, Joyna had already flown into the clouds, and the multicolored streamer was looming on her body, her speed was close to the maximum speed she could reach, and her body was also shrouded in a layer of condensed frost.

In fact, she doesn't have to hold her breath at all, because the breathing of this body does not require oxygen, and the blood circulation in the body can rely on the support of powerful spiritual energy.

The distance of dozens of kilometers seems to be in the blink of an eye, and Joyna estimates that it has risen by about 7 or 8 kilometers.

The most shocking sight appeared.

Above her head is the thin upper layer of the atmosphere, which is not the same as the ground, but has a darker blue state, because it scatters indirect sunlight with great efficiency, and the same principle applies to the blue sky on the earth's surface.

It is only when sunlight passes through the densest part of the atmosphere, near the horizon, that the blue light is preferentially scattered, leaving an orange-red glow.

Instead of the sun on the ground, which gradually transitions from red and orange to bright yellow, the sun in space rapidly turns bright white at sunrise.

Once the sun jumps out from behind the upper atmosphere, the sunlight in the vacuum will be unobstructed.

Joyna had already seen the strange sight, and although she had also been sent to "Space City II" to undergo the testing procedure of genetic experiments, she was no stranger to this scene, but it was still a sight for her to see it again hundreds of years later.

She was blown away by more than that.

Above the majestic sea of clouds, there was a huge air current, like an upside-down waterfall group that was churning in the air and spraying Bai Lian.

A large shadow swam at the base of the clouds, and everywhere it passed, even the clouds seemed to tremble with strange force.

Black shadows loomed like monsters in the sea, spitting out billowing white mist from time to time, squeezing the surrounding air and disturbing the thick clouds.

A corner of the building was revealed, and then it sank into a sea of clouds.

The rising sunlight reflected on the metallic silver-white paint without any obstruction, shaking people who couldn't open their eyes.

The Ancient Iron City was less than a kilometer away from her, hidden in a sea of clouds, like a building buried in the desert by rolling sand dunes.

Without any hesitation, Joyna's wings stirred and flew straight there to meet the rising light.

There was a burning smell in the air, and the frost on Joyna's face began to crumble, and the temperature around her was a few degrees warmer than before. She had already seen the outline of the Ancient Iron City, and it was clearer than before.

The neat streets and rows of buildings dazzled her for a while, no different from a town on the ground, everything seemed to be entrenched on a huge floating island in the air.

She saw that the thing was tens of kilometers in size, and from one side, several balls were "floating" around it, and a large ball closest to her was mounted on the top of the bottom, which presumably was the source of power for the entire city.

The ancient iron city floated quietly in the air.

Joyna flew closer to see that the rest of the ground looked almost identical except for a fence surrounded by clear glass and metal at the edges.

She looked up at the sky again, there was a layer of polarized light reflection at a height of hundreds of meters, and the color of the sky seemed to be layered, from blue-purple to light blue, like a thin film.

You don't need to ask to know that the temperature rise in the city is inseparable from the protection of this kind of thing, it should be a cover like an energy force field - it is also an advanced technology magic left over from previous civilizations.

Joyna skirted the small half of the town, looked around about half a circle, and landed cautiously on the edge.

Not far from the town there are completely sealed "bunkers", which are actually slightly taller buildings than the surrounding buildings. The red and yellow paint is particularly eye-catching, the bottom is about 5 floors high and has a square outline, the upper part has a semi-circular metal roof, and there are some thick emission holes, I don't know what they are used for, there are many bunkers like this, and they are scattered all over the periphery of the town.

She judged that this kind of building should be a product of the emperor's concept of "all people are soldiers", which could store war materials and could also be used as a node fortress in wartime.

But she didn't expect that these bunkers, when combined, could still serve as a communication channel.

The reason for this was that she saw a steady stream of transport vehicles entering the building through the open gates, and soon after, coming out from the other direction of the town, indicating that there was a road connection underneath.

There were busy vehicles shuttling through the streets, and perhaps the emperor felt very safe with the castle floating at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so there were not many patrols patrolling the streets, instead stevedores and some four-legged transport machinery.

She saw some of the metal gates hidden under the buildings in the streets being opened, and the mechanical cabins being strapped to strange backpacks and carried onto cars by the workers.

Presumably, it was supposed to be transported to the ground, and it should be filled with weapons, baggage, and various supplies.

No wonder they don't worry about logistical supplies at all, as long as these things are airdropped, it will be enough for the legions.

A rough estimate is that if these people are all products of the emperor's all-for-all military system, then this huge city should be able to accommodate at least 100,000 to 200,000 people, which is not a problem at all.

The Emperor's residence is easily recognizable, located in the middle of the city.

The entire ancient iron city was built around the imperial castle, and the streets also formed radial and concentric circles around the hillocks.

The castle on the hill is much higher than the town houses built in a circle, and it shines like the stars and the moon.

Of course, Joyna was not stupid enough to swagger into that castle by herself, she was not here to negotiate with the emperor, but just to figure out the next move and strategic plan of her opponent. This kind of espionage behavior, which is tantamount to suicide, can only be done by her, and no one else can have her ability, but she is afraid that she will not be able to come back.

The emperor is a mystery to those who think they know the emperor and those who don't.

He likes to hide himself very much, otherwise he wouldn't be called the "Faceless God of War".

No one knows where he came from, which also makes him the perfect ruler and natural leader.

Joyna had thought that the Faceless God of War was a source of his brutal rule and iron-blooded methods, and that it was his style to rule through intimidation and fear, after all, she had seen too many gang leaders before.

However, the moment she really saw the reality, the streets and houses of the ancient iron city that were as neat as barracks, she remembered the rumors before, and she couldn't help but be a little shocked about his extremely high popularity and countless high prestige among the people.

What kind of emperor is this?

Or rather, what kind of man is it?

He is like a natural war machine, with both a brain and an iron fist. He single-handedly created the ancient iron city and operated it for many years, so he could give orders at will, command his subordinates, and achieve a state of satisfying his supreme will.

And he also has the ability to hide his supernatural powers, which makes his heart infinitely expand.

Joyna knew that if she wanted to discover the myriad secrets of the Faceless God of War, she would have to find some breakthrough.

"Look, you can't hide it from me! I'll dig it up, and your secrets will come to light someday! ”

Joyna was secretly thinking in her heart, quietly approaching the buildings here, not wanting to alarm the busy people, maybe those bunker buildings were the first place she would explore.

Whatever is buried deep in the earth cannot see the light of day.

Mr. Spectre has said that the Emperor has many secret laboratories and has been in contact with the emissaries of the Obsidian Society, trying to use the virus as a catalyst for genetic mutation to create those powerful warriors.

Joyna wasn't sure how those mighty warriors were made, but they must have their concoction equipment somewhere in the city, and if they could steal confidential information or genetic samples, they would be able to figure it out.

She quietly jumped onto the roofs of the buildings in the city, the reddish-brown roofs and the undensely planted trees scurrying behind her, the rising sun pulling long shadows on the rooftops, and without pause, she sneaked into the core as fast as she could.

Suddenly, almost instinctively, her upper body felt like it was being illuminated by the cold light of death, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. A keen sense of distance that is far stronger than ordinary people makes her immediately hide in the corners between the houses.

Soon, she discovers that the feeling comes from a strange machine at the top of the "bunker".

There's an unmanned infrared heat sensor.
