The rotten and muddy roads outside the city were also cleaned up—rotten to the extent that they were covered with human and animal excrement, a situation that Mu Xiu was the first to endure.

So, although all the roads were paved with stone slabs or red bricks as lavish as in the city, the roads were well groomed so that both caravans and horse-drawn carriages could easily pass through.

Farther away, you can see a large area of land that has been cultivated, and the fields are full of green and vibrant crops, and you can see many farmers working in the fields, full of vitality and hope.

In some directions, you can even see the laid tracks, and the tin trains are shuttling black smoke through the fields, plains, and forests, as if they are constantly transporting large quantities of supplies.

It's just that it's not clear whether the supplies are being sent to Sunfu Castle from other places, or whether all kinds of materials are being transported from Sunfu Castle to other places.

As for the city, there are a number of clay golems and steel golems walking, and they move heavily but smoothly, making the ground tremble with every step if it were not for the thick foundation of the road.

The former is constantly cleaning up the debris and garbage in the city, arresting or fining those who break the law, and inspecting the facilities everywhere. The latter is constantly patrolling, which seems to be maintaining law and order in the true sense.

No one would want to ignore the presence of the Steel Golem, a steel golem with a humanoid body made of steel and twice the height of a normal person, like an armed giant.

Since the creature was made entirely of pure steel, it weighed a whopping five thousand pounds, or a little over two tons. With such weight and material, when they attack with incredible and unbelievable lethality, their opponents understand how desperate they are.

It's just that there are two sides to everything, and there's nothing more secure for the locals than this Golem puppet, which can't speak, can't make a sound, and doesn't have any discernible scent.

Especially when the high-level leaders of Junfu City made up their minds to completely rectify the city's atmosphere, they simply put the steel golems that had not been able to form a scale into the city's security.

Although because of the quantity, it can't be scaled on the battlefield, and it has no advantage when it comes to those Ji generals who have cultivated their armed color domineering to an extremely high level. Because the Iron Golem is really not much stronger than plastic under their heavy blows, it will often be swept directly across a large area.

However, when it is put into use in the city, it can ensure that the entire city is covered, after all, the foundation of Sunfu Castle is still an ancient city, although the expansion has been carried out.

However, it is not the order of magnitude that modern cities can easily have tens of millions of people, and tens of thousands of police forces are needed to maintain urban law and order at every turn.

Therefore, the recent atmosphere of Junfu City is different day by day, not to mention stealing chickens and dogs, even beggars can no longer see it, all of them have been arrested and transformed, and they are really the kind that has no value for the existence of society and are simply thrown away to open mines.

Because this city is so different, no matter who sees it for the first time, they feel quite shocked-

If this era is on the rise, then this city is the epitome of the principles of civilization in this era!

……

……

"Is this really the ...... Sunfu Castle?"

The words were filled with a strong sense of disbelief, and the person who said this was a very handsome young man, dressed as a merchant, and followed by several guards and maids.

"Theoretically, yes, Nobusumi-sama."

Behind him, a blue-haired and blue-eyed girl dressed as a maid also seemed to be unable to help but exclaim, her eyes full of horror and excitement.

They had originally come to inquire about the news, but as soon as they arrived at their destination, they were already shocked by what they saw, and an irrepressible sense of powerlessness surged in their hearts, how should such an enemy be able to fight?

It seems that it has only been a quarter since the previous Inhuman War, right?!

So, in these short three months, what kind of adventure did Imagawa Yoshimoto have, or what did her castle ride on and rampage forward, why did she suddenly open such a big gap?!

When he was far outside the city just now, Niwa Nagahide already felt shocked enough, and now after entering the city, he realized what kind of monster he was facing.

A self-contained and aggressive city! A steampunk-style steel monster powered by the dual technology of steam technology and alchemy!

She was actually no stranger to the golems, puppets, alchemy workshops, and the like in the city, because the Oda family and other daimyo of the Aki were working hard in this area. What really shocked her was the completion of the city, and anyone could tell that the city's transformation was coming to an end.

All that's left is constant expansion, targeted adjustment planning...... In this way, the gap is obvious.

The castle that the Oda family developed first with concentrated efforts is still in a complex mixed state, with both advanced and backward coexisting. There are a lot of alchemy workshops, steam boilers, wooden huts, dirt puddles, and low brick walls—a very obvious disparity.

The other Ji Daimyo are estimated to be similar, but only the Junfu City in front of her is really a bit subverting her imagination.

"Sure enough, it's right to come and find out the news, otherwise we might not even have time to react...... Seventy points. ”

The girl looked up at the steam rails in the sky that surrounded the city, and although this part of the suspended monorail system was still under construction, it had already begun trial operation, and she could see several train cars moving by following the rumbling sound.

In the sky near the empty rail, there is also the existence of a floating airship.

"The advantage of Sunfu Castle is too great, and in comparison, even if Lord Shinna has already obtained the concession of the three major people of Saito Michi and holds Mino tightly in his hands, he is still not qualified to fight against it for the time being."

The group fell silent as she spoke.

No matter what kind of hearing or unreasonable confidence you have, it is not as convincing as seeing the huge gap between the two sides.

Suruga is the only way to pass through the Tokaido, and after nearly 200 years of painstaking management by the Imagawa family, the entire Suruga Province has become an important transportation hub for the Tokaido, and its center is Sunpu Castle, the residence of Tokaido's first bow to Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose fame has even spread to Kantogi and even further afield in Kyushu and other places such as Ha-Oku.

The prosperity of one castle town in Sunpu Castle alone, and the addition of all castle towns under the name of the Oda family is far from being several times greater, because compared to Suruga, the Shinano area is really a poor mountainous area.

Except for Shi Gao's data, there is no other aspect that can be handled.

The accumulation of the past also determines the future development, and there are no difficulties and obstacles in Suruga, whether it is on land or sea.

On the contrary, if Shinano, which is relatively remote and sparsely populated, wants to develop, it needs huge human and material resources, and this is the reality.

In an instant, Niwa Nagahide had already thought of so many things in his mind, worthy of her position as the brains of the Oda family. She looked up, and then she realized that the others had been standing in the street in a daze for a short time after entering the city.

Fortunately, in recent times, it seems that there are many people like them, and the local residents of Junfu City are also used to seeing them, so they did not arouse suspicion, but the kind of eyes that look at the soil buns are inevitable.

"Find a place to rest first, don't act rashly for the time being, according to the previous plan, it's okay to be an honest businessman, don't deliberately collect intelligence, you don't have enough experience......"

Followed closely behind Oda Nobusumi like a maid, Niwa Nagahide was whispering to everyone, although this time it was nominally led by Nobusumi-sama, but in fact she was the one in charge.

After all, she is the only one who can do such a thing, otherwise, if she sends Shibata Katsuya over, it is estimated that she will be exposed by now.

"But we have a great opportunity this time, because Sunpu City is not a port city. In addition, according to the news that Kawa and the others have reported, it is said that the Imagawa family has already made up a steamship, and Imagawa Yoshimoto only set out to inspect it not long ago, so we can have such an opportunity. ”

Her words were light and delicate, but the meaning was clear.

This is the residence of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and if the Imagawa lord himself is in charge, then no one will want to come and die. Whether it's troublemaking or simply trying to find out the news, no one's breath can hide that one's perception.

It was only when they got clear information that the lord of Imagawa Province, who had been the enemy of the country, had left for the time being, that they had a chance to come.

Almost subconsciously, everyone couldn't help but clench a certain sign in their hands, this is the "pass" obtained when entering the city, and they must carry it with them at all times, otherwise if those golem puppets detect that someone has no permission, they will definitely not be stingy with their fists.

Although it is said that with Niwa Nagahide accompanying them, the golem puppets are not terrifying, but they are definitely not so naïve as to think that after the identities of the others are revealed, this terrifying steam city will only use the golem puppets to attack them.

Who knows what terrible means are hidden?

The young man who led the team was the younger brother of Oda Shinna, who had tried to rebel after being instigated by the people around him, and was forgiven by Shinna for the rebellion and changed his name to use the surname of the split family, and the surname of the split family was Tsuda, so he changed his name to Tsuda Nobusumi.

"I see, Dan...... Thousands of generations. ”

After listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, he showed an ugly smile, but his eyes were very determined, but he didn't say anything. This time the task was asked by himself, although he was very scared, but he was just as determined.

Although Niwa Nagahide is a fairly stable person within the Oda family, he still can't suppress the horror in his heart.

Although on the surface she was only following the procession slowly into the city, heading to the market area of the castle town, in the process, she detected the city as much as possible through her grasp of the breath.

It turned out to be more and more surprising.

Most of the inhabitants of the city were in surprisingly good physical condition, better than the soldiers of the past, but they all had a strange aura on their bodies, as if they were mass-produced alchemical products.

But before she had time to think about what such a phenomenon meant, her attention was soon drawn to the ubiquitous steam power system in the city—those steam boilers were orderly scattered all over the city, like the heart, and through the brass pipes like veins, providing an endless supply of power to the whole city.

It seems that this layout and design are very reasonable and scientific, and it is very referential, maybe I should write them down as much as possible......

Thinking like this, she slowly went deep into the ground because of her inductive power, and after perceiving the complex and huge underground waterway, she had even more headaches, and the city seemed to have been completed in any aspect, complex and scary.

This headache continued until her domineering eyes spread and she sensed some strange divine fluctuations in the area in the center of the city—

It is one of the most striking buildings in the city, except for the castle tower, which is a symbol of power.

A magnificent shrine built near the central square.

Just because the domineering aura of seeing and hearing spread over the past, sweeping through the temple, and being contaminated with an almost imperceptible aura, it made Niwa Nagahide have the illusion that he was about to suffocate.

It is because I understand that I am afraid.

In that instant, she had already understood the answer to the question she had guessed with others about why the Imagawa family wanted to get involved in theocracy.

All wrong.
