The City of Steel sits on a mountain range in the Hengduan Mountains, with a vein of high-purity magic crystal crystal behind it, which is mined at a high rate every year. On the left is the Sky Splitting Grand Canyon, which can directly control the entry and exit of the three ruins. On the right is the Moonlight Forest, which produces specialty plants that are essential for many modern high-level magic potions. The City of Steel itself also has a lot of knowledge inheritance of scientific and technological civilizations, and most of the empire's rapid achievements in magic technology in recent centuries come from this.

Therefore, the importance of the Steel City to the Longhua Empire is self-evident, and for almost the same reason, the Steel City is even more important to the world dominated by technological civilization in Grants. In the past thousand years, the various forces of the world of Glanzis have never given up the battle for the steel city, and various conflicts have continued, and wars have been fought several times. However, because there are still disputes within the world of Grants, it has never been able to do its best, so it has not been able to take back the Steel City in several previous wars.

However, this time it seems that something is different, the three largest forces in the world of Grants, the Heart of War, the Machine Dynasty, and the Legion of Glory have actually united, using the illusion barrier to deploy an army of nearly a million outside the Iron City at the same time. Then he said that it was accidentally broken by a patrolling major, and so a war broke out.

As a battle fortress, the City of Steel is almost always in a state of first-tier combat readiness. When the alarm issued by the major was received, tens of thousands of soldiers were ready for battle at the first time, and the first elite brigade directly killed them along the teleportation array opened by the major.

Tempered by thousands of years of foreign warfare, the Imperial Army can be said to be fearless of any enemy. Especially in recent years, under the leadership of Generalissimo Lin Haifeng, the imperial army has shown extraordinary strength in several foreign wars. More than 100 people dared to launch a counter-charge against the advance troops, and it can only be said that these were a group of extreme militants.

Shen Mu and the others were close, just to see this standard resistance battle. The elite of more than 100 people are all composed of high-ranking officers, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, not to mention that they all carry a variety of advanced magic weapons. Therefore, even in the face of hundreds of times the enemy, they still played with the momentum of the imperial army, and successfully blocked the attack of tens of thousands of mechanical troops.

However, after all, there is an irreparable huge gap in numbers between the two sides, and the mechanical warriors of the Grants world are not decorations, and after a few minutes of the tide of the tide, the elite team of more than 100 people began to retreat and began to suffer casualties, and after five minutes, the defense line completely collapsed, and less than thirty people successfully escaped through the teleportation array.

But their sacrifice was meaningful, and they managed to block the attack of the Mechons due north for five minutes. Five minutes may not seem like much in a war, but five minutes can already do a lot when it matters. For example, mobilizing troops, sending emergency distress signals, and activating defensive weapons.

"It's been a good time, and it looks like the Iron City is in trouble!" the Count's brow furrowed slightly. In addition to being the organizer of the team, he is also a true imperial nobleman, and there is his family's property in the Iron City!

"I think it's not bad! at least we can take advantage of the chaos to get in!" The dead fat man Qi Yuanshan was still eating all the time, and he had no interest in this doomed and tragic battle. For a small citizen like him, it didn't matter who the Steel City belonged to, he only cared about how much benefit he could get from this operation.

Is the City of Steel in chaos now?

It's a mess!

The Major was only lucky enough to find an illusion barrier. And the three major forces of Grancis, an illusion barrier like this, were deployed in a total of fourteen places outside the Iron City, and a million troops were mobilized in ten minutes. I really don't know how they did it under the noses of the Imperial Army, and it is estimated that many people will be unlucky after this time.

The daily defenders of the City of Steel are only 15,000 people, and even with the most advanced magic weapons, it is impossible to resist the combined attack of the three major forces of the mechanical civilization. Therefore, as soon as the alarm came, Lieutenant General Chen Shouzheng sent a distress signal to the legion, and the four military large-scale space teleportation arrays were opened at the same time, and reinforcements came one after another, and the piercing sirens were even louder.

At this time, the courtyard of a single gate in the center of the Steel City was unusually quiet. More than a dozen guards were scattered in all corners of the courtyard, heavily armed and nervously guarded, and the slightest movement could alert them.

There was an independent two-story building in the deepest part of this courtyard, and Yuyang Yingjie was sitting in it a little uneasy at this time, anxiously waiting for news.

didn't wait long, and an old servant in good spirits walked in quickly: "Third young master, find out." The three major forces of the mechanical civilization attacked the steel city at the same time, and the number was no less than a million. The Blade Legion is urgently increasing its troops, and now the entire Iron City is in chaos!"

Opportunity, this is a great opportunity! As soon as he heard the news, Yuyang Yingjie stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth with a little shortness of breath. He told himself that the more he was at this point, the calmer he should be, but it was really hard to calm down because he had to make an extremely important decision right away.

"Uncle Han, what do you say are the chances of success in our sneak attack on the armory?" After walking back and forth for a few minutes, Yuyang Yingjie still couldn't make this decision. Not to mention that it was still a sneak attack in wartime, even if it was a capital offense to dare to sneak into the armory without permission on weekdays.

At this time, Yuyang Yingjie could only come up with such a bad idea, and he could only be bold.

But his target wasn't the armory, but the items they had found during their quest. Yuyang Yingjie also knew that a sneak attack on the armory was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest in a desperate way, but there was no way, who let Chen Shouzheng's yin guy actually store that batch of goods in the armory?

And what they found this time was really too important to the family, even if it was to work hard for it, so Yuyang Yingjie seemed so embarrassed.

"The third young master is better to be cautious, no matter whether the sneak attack on the armory is successful or not, it will not be easy for the family to explain in the end?" Han Li let out a sigh of relief, and still said very puzzled: "It's really strange to say, how did this news leak out? I don't even have a clue about tracking it upside down." For the sake of secrecy, we didn't dare to contact our family. Of the twenty-four men, eight died, and fourteen were left besides you and me. They haven't left the old man's sight for a moment, and there is absolutely no chance to spread any news?"

"If the living can't get out, it's a dead person! Forget Uncle Han, now is not the time to investigate this matter, and when we get home, we will have time to investigate slowly. Yuyang Yingjie rubbed his hands, turned his gaze and said, "The urgent thing to delay now is how to bring that thing back." Fortunately, the military didn't know about the existence of that thing, otherwise we wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate. But the family still doesn't know what we've found, and the strength of the negotiation is definitely not enough, I'm afraid that the family will give in if they don't get it. No, we can't wait any longer. Either get the word out or rob the armory. ”

"You can't send the news home!" Han Li said categorically: "Let's not say that communication has been blocked here, even if you find an opportunity, you can't say it." There are other people's spies among the two dozen of us, let alone in the family, once the news leaks, the consequences will be even more serious. ”

"So we have only one way to go! Now I don't know how many people are in the city to carry this shipment, and if I do it first, they will definitely look for the wind." We just got that thing and withdrew, throwing the military's attention on them. Even if I can't hide afterwards, with the weight of that thing, my family should be able to save my life!" Yuyang Yingjie became more and more determined to rob the armory, he thought that he could find a few scapegoats,

"Since you have already decided, Third Young Master, let's do it! It is better to do it sooner rather than later, as long as you don't kill people and don't use your weapons, it is not without room for maneuver with the old man's face!" Han Li also felt that he would not be able to think of a better way for a while, so he had to rely on Yuyang Yingjie's plan. Anyway, as long as the Yuyang family does not fall, the worst result can save Yuyang Yingjie's life.

But bold is bold, and a detailed plan still needs to be had. It's best to find a few scapegoats and get them to steal things out without them knowing.

And just when the two of them were still discussing the plan, they suddenly heard a violent cry from outside the house:

"Who?"

The voice was shouted to them. The two of them were startled, immediately stopped talking, and rushed out of the room as fast as they could. As a result, there was not even a single figure in sight, only a few guards hurried over.

One of the guards picked up the flying knife on the ground with a trace of blood, and said apologetically to Yuyang Yingjie, "Shadow thief, master." If she hadn't moved, we wouldn't have noticed, and it looks like we'd been lurking for a while!"

"Bastard!" Yuyang Yingjie's face turned blue in annoyance. If this person is a person from other forces, it is fine, in case it is someone from the military, their plan will be fully exposed. When the time comes, stealing chickens will not be able to reverse a handful of rice, and he will be in big trouble.

"Third Young Master, rest assured, she was hit by my flying knife, the knife is highly poisonous, and she will not survive for five minutes. The guard said confidently.

"Five minutes! Five minutes is enough!" Yuyang Yingjie turned his head to look at Han Li, and the two glanced at each other, and they had already made up their minds in their hearts. If it was just a plan just now, now they have no way back.

......

Zhao Hongying hid in a hotel near the barracks, and had been trying to find out about Zhao Mingxiang for several days, but she couldn't find anything.

That day, with Shen Mu's arrangement, she successfully infiltrated the Mixed Yuan Realm. But she just sneaked in, she didn't have any other purpose at all, she didn't even know where she was going, what was she supposed to do?

So she thought of Zhao Mingxiang's words and came to find Chen Shouzheng, the lieutenant general of the Steel City.

However, she didn't dare to go directly to see Chen Shouzheng. Although he was a friend of his father's dormitory, after so many years, people's hearts will always change, who knows what kind of person Chen Shouzheng is now?

So in the past few days, she has stayed in the hotel opposite the barracks, secretly observing, and quietly collecting information. Judging from the information collected so far, at least on the surface, Chen Shouzheng is still a relatively upright person.

Originally, she planned to find an opportunity to contact Chen Shouzheng in the next few days. Unexpectedly, the war suddenly broke out, and the entire Steel City was subject to military control, and Chen Shouzheng also led the troops to the battlefield for the first time.

Even in the hotel room, you can still hear the sound of fierce battles very clearly. I inquired about the news from the hotel waiter, the situation is not very optimistic, and the million mechanical army sneak attacked the siege of the city, and she was unlucky to suffer the pond fish.

No, I can't stay here anymore, I have to find a safe place to hide. If the Steel City is breached, staying here is waiting for death, and there is no saying among otherworldly civilizations that does not hurt the poor. And even if it is not breached, as long as the situation is urgent, according to imperial law, the army has the right to directly call any civilian to fight. If she is drafted, wouldn't going to the battlefield with her combat power be tantamount to death?

The more Zhao Hongying thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she simply picked up the war knife and quietly slipped out of the hotel through the back door. She remembered that there was a warehouse nearby, and she hid there for the time being.

As a result, she had just slipped into an alley when a 'poof' figure fell directly in front of her from mid-air. At first glance, it turned out to be a petite woman, dressed as a thief. It's just that at this time, she was blue, her limbs trembled, and the bleeding from the corners of her mouth seemed to be poisoned.

After Zhao Hongying came back to her senses, she wondered whether it was better to bypass it as if she didn't see it, or turn around and leave.

But at this moment, the woman suddenly took a step forward, grabbed her ankle, raised her head and said with difficulty, "Sue ...... Templar ...... The Yuyang family wants to ...... Disaster...... Ordnance ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman spurted out a mouthful of blood and died directly.

Her intermittent voice was not very clear, but Zhao Hongying still heard it: help her tell the Holy Church that the Yuyang family is going to rob the armory!

It is no secret that Yuyang's family was detained by the military because of a batch of hot goods. It has almost spread all over the city in the past few days, and Zhao Hongying naturally knows about it. But she didn't expect Yuyang Yingjie to be so bold that he dared to rob the armory?

This woman is also powerful, and she has found out such confidential information. But the luck was really not very good, not that she was poisoned and died, but the last person she met turned out to be Zhao Hongying.

Someone else might actually go to her court and get a bounty from the Templar if the news is true. But will Zhao Hongying go? Of course not! Back then, there was the shadow of the Holy Church in the Zhan Family's Destruction Gate, and now the most ferocious person chasing her is the Dark Council Church of the Holy Church. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to let her go to someone in the Templar to deliver the news?

However, although the news could not be delivered, there was another thing that she was somewhat interested in. Yuyang Yingjie is going to rob the armory, can she also follow the fire to rob? With this big head, the opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

What is this called, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!
