357 City of the Dead

Akatsuki City, the capital of the Akatsuki Empire, is located on the burning plain in the middle of the Akatsuki Continent, although there is no steep terrain to protect, but it has extremely tall and thick city walls, as well as extremely complete city defense equipment.

It is also a world-famous, unbreakable steel city.

Akatsuki Castle has been attacked by hostile or rebel forces seven times in history, and they are all extremely large siege teams, but they have never been breached by anyone.

It can be seen how strong and reliable Akatsuki City is.

The entire city covers an area of about 400 square kilometers and has a population of about 20 million, making it the most populous megacity in the Akatsuki Continent.

The four walls of the city firmly enclose the entire Akatsuki City into a huge neat diamond shape, the height of the tall city wall alone has reached an astonishing forty meters, and the thickness of the city wall has reached ten meters, and it is made of extremely solid black rocks, with extremely amazing defensive power, such a wall can not blow it up even with the power of Tiangang cannons.

The Akatsuki City Wall has always been known as the strongest and thickest city wall in the entire Wanluo Continent, and some people say that no army or any kind of weapon can break through the walls of Akatsuki City from the front.

As long as the walls stand, the Akatsuki Empire will live forever.

However, at this moment, the city wall, which is known as the first heroic city in the ages, can no longer give people the slightest sense of security.

On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city unsheathed their swords one by one, wound their bows and crossbows, and waited for battle, and then stared at the plain in the distance.

Thundered! Bang!

Soon, there was a dull roar and a violent shaking of the ground

On the open plain, a large area of black 'colored' objects was surging in the direction of the city wall, and the wind was generally surging in the direction of the city wall.

"Ahh It's the monsters, they're coming. "The faces of the soldiers defending the city have changed dramatically.

These days, the soldiers defending the city have heard too much from the mouths of refugees from all over the mainland, how terrible and ferocious this monster really is.

Therefore, the soldiers defending the city had already been fully mentally prepared.

But when everyone really saw the true face of those monsters, their faces still changed greatly.

This overwhelming surging was actually a huge continent that was unimaginably large, and they had the size of a giant wolf.

With a huge head and hideous fangs, he is an astonishing twelve meters tall and more than forty meters long.

This overwhelming large area, surging wildly, not to mention more than 10,000, is like 10,000 moving hills, the scene is extremely shocking, people look at it, there is a kind of scalp numbness, paralyzed trembling feeling.

But it is unimaginable that such a huge body has an extremely light and agile body, and the distance of thousands of meters is almost in the blink of an eye, and they are quickly 'forced' to cross over.

"Prepare to attack!" In the face of such a terrifying advance speed, the generals defending the city did not even have time to think about tactics, and the only thing they could do was to issue the most direct defense orders.

For a while, the heavy crossbow that was wound up was quickly mounted with thick and long arrows.

The Tiangang cannon on the city wall entered the state of filling and firing for the first time.

In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming black 'color' torrent rushed to a hundred meters below the city wall.

"Freedom to attack."

The defending general roared.

Whoosh! Whizzing arrows! It flew out like raindrops, instantly filling the entire sky with a rain of black arrows.

The roaring Tiangang cannon of the twelve 'gates' dragged out twelve huge and dazzling beams of light.

Then it smashed the huge and hideous monsters on the ground.

Bump boom! For a while, the earth shook, and the powerful artillery of the Tiangang cannon blasted the whole ground open more than a dozen huge craters, and just one round of volleys of 'fire' blasted the twelve monsters rushing to pieces.

However, the number of monsters is too much, the power of the Tiangang cannon is strong, but the number is too small, and after the 'shot', there is also a filling of the Tiangang energy stone, and it is impossible to 'shoot' the second cannon in time.

And the arrows 'shot' by the heavy crossbow defending the city can't 'shoot' through the thick body armor of those monsters.

One by one, it was as if they had hit a steel plate, making a dense clanging sound.

And braving the dense rain of arrows, as well as the bombardment of Tiangang cannons, the lives of twelve monsters were paid.

The soldiers defending the city didn't even have time to 'shoot' the second round.

Those huge and incomparably large monsters had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, more than a hundred meters away.

Then, in a burst of earth-shattering roars, those wolf-like giant beasts suddenly glared at their legs, and with the help of the astonishing impact speed, they flew and jumped up.

The forty-meter-tall city wall was actually jumped up by them.

Then one by one, like meteorites falling from the sky, they smashed the ground.

"Ahh

"How is that possible?"

"Even the walls can't stop them."

The scene in front of me has long exceeded everyone's imagination.

What followed was a massacre without suspense.

For a while, there were desperate screams everywhere above and below the city wall, and the giant monster roared wildly.

------------------

Two hundred miles south of Chiyue City, the Dongfeng Grand Canyon, strange rocks are craggy, as far as the eye can see, it is a bare piece, there is no vegetation at all, there is a gray 'cloud' and 'cloud' everywhere, and people have a feeling of suffocation that is so muddy that they can't breathe.

The three million soldiers of the First Legion of Ranch were cautiously walking slowly along the narrow islands under the canyon.

The terrain here is dangerous, tortuous and circuitous, and it is not suitable for a fast march at all, so I have no choice but to slow down.

The current regular legion is different from the previous establishment, equipped with a large number of new powerful weapons, so that the combat effectiveness of the regular corps has skyrocketed to an unimaginable alert, and therefore this force must be firmly in the hands of the royal family, so the main departments of the legion are all held by the sword master who is absolutely loyal to the royal family.

The commander of the First Legion is Lan Yun, the Royal Silver Sword Saint who is deeply trusted by Lan Zai. His deputies are Qing Ming, Qing Peng, and Qing He.

Among them, Lan Yun is responsible for controlling the overall situation, while Qingpeng is responsible for controlling the light artillery pattern, Qinghe is in charge of the Rhino Tank Corps, and Qing Ming is in charge of the Excalibur Warrior Corps.

While Lan Yun is the commander-in-chief, he is also responsible for commanding thirty heavily armed dragon knights.

Shenwu Jiao, Teng Lan, and Xiao Yunting, the four four major commanders who were originally subordinate to Yihe Palace, were also assigned to this team.

Among them, Shen Wu became Qing Ming's deputy, Jiao Teng became Qinghe's deputy, and Yun Ting became Qing Peng's deputy.

In addition, Lan Xiao became the leader of the thirty Wyvern squads.

The four of them can be regarded as honorable and promoted.

After getting the new equipment sent by Qingshan, the military establishment of the Lanqi Empire has changed a lot, the three regular legions, and the main departments of the 'gates', almost all of them are served by the original Sword Saint powerhouses, as well as the 'elite' backbone of the Twelve Bronze Temples.

Only in this way can we ensure that this powerful force can be in the hands of the imperial family.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that whether it is Lan Yun or Qing Ming, Qing Peng, Qing He, or even Lan Xiao and others, they are now standard Excalibur warrior equipment.

In other words, they are all equivalent to the existence of the Golden Sword Saint in the past, and they can be regarded as fulfilling their dreams for many years.

After getting these transfers, Lan Xiao and the others were proud for a while, but when they knew that these equipment had been flooded, they couldn't be complacent anymore.

For those who are still careful to maintain a slow marching speed.

There is no way, the terrain here is too dangerous, and it is very suitable for ambushes, although there are Lan Xiao and thirty flying dragon knights in charge of reconnaissance in the sky, but Lan Yun and the others still dare not take it lightly.

For the sake of safety, several people even carried light Tiangang cannons to deal with crises that might arise at any time.

Lan Yun is the pigeon team in charge of communication, and he is repeating it tirelessly.

"Akatsuki, Akatsuki, I'm the First Legion of Ranchi, please reply when I receive it,

Akatsuki, Akatsuki, I'm the First Legion of Ranchi, please reply when you receive it

Akatsuki, Akatsuki, I'm the First Legion of Ranchi, please reply when you receive it

Akatsuki, Akatsuki, I'm the First Legion of Ranchi, please reply when you receive it

·····。 ”

Since yesterday, the contact with the Akatsuki Capital has been completely cut off, which makes Lan Yun and the others feel the seriousness of the situation.

Because of this, they had to speed up their march.

The journey that would have taken them seven days to complete was almost completed in just four days.

Just walk through this canyon for another two hundred miles to reach the capital of the Akatsuki Empire.

But listening to the call of the pigeon group next to him 'Jing' Ying did not get any response, the uneasiness in Lan Yun's heart became more and more serious.

"Haven't responded yet?"

"Yes, it's been 28 hours since I lost contact." The pigeon correspondents were also uneasy.

Finally, five hours later, the team reached the outside of Akatsuki Castle.

On the city wall, it was bare, and there was no figure in sight, and there was not the slightest breath of life around them.

The huge Red Moon City is like an empty and dead city.

This strange scene made Lan Yun and the others feel even more breathless.

Lan Yunqing, Ming Qingpeng, and Qinghe all subconsciously glanced at each other.

"Aerial detection, did you find anything?" Lan Yun said.

"No, there is not a single figure in the streets or open spaces of the city." Lan Xiao's voice came from the communicator.

"Do you want to go into the city?" Qingpeng said in a deep voice.

Lan Yun nodded slightly.

"Ground 1 team, come with me."

Qing Ming led a hundred Excalibur warriors to quickly rush into the city gate, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the blink of an eye.

"There were only some corpse remains, and no trace of the enemy was found." Soon Qing Ming's voice came from the communicator.

When the army entered the city, all they saw was the scattered corpses and countless collapsed houses.

There is a huge Akatsuki City, and there is not a single living thing to be found.

The whole world is filled with a kind of dead silence that makes the heart palpitate.

"Looks like we're still here to play." Lan Yun sighed helplessly.
