There is a distance of thousands of miles between Ryugu Castle and the imperial capital.

Even if the Imperial warship was moving at full speed on the ocean, by the time they reached the port of the destination, three days had passed.

Jiang Ge and the others arrived at the imperial capital, the imperial military base called "Wudu".

This is the home of the Imperial Military Headquarters, where the Empire's most elite legions are stationed.

And from the "Wudu" to the inland travel nearly 100 miles, it is the imperial capital.

After Jiang Ge and Jiang Yu came down from the imperial warship, they did not receive any too grand reception, and went straight to the special train to the imperial capital.

After a few hours of transit.

Jiang Ge finally saw the core of the First Shanhai Empire, a magnificent capital with a population of more than 10 million.

There are many high-rise buildings, tall chimneys, pavilions.

The technology called "Outer Space" is mixed with the ancient architectural style of the first mountain and sea.

Jiang Ge inexplicably had a strange sense of confusion.

He even felt an inexplicable fanaticism from the residents living here.

It was as hot as "fire", and it felt like cooking oil on fire.

Jiang Ge had no doubt that if he had the opportunity to look down on this imperial capital from the top of the highest heavenly dome, he would definitely be able to see an incomparably magnificent "furnace" phantom.

What burns in the furnace is the fire of civilization, which is extremely hot!

"The imperial capital implements an absolute elite strategy, and the people who can live in this capital are people who can be valuable to the empire." Jiang Yu explained.

"What counts as valuable?" Jiang Ge asked lightly.

"Money, force, technology, change......" Jiang Yu's voice was calm, and he spat out many words.

And falling into Jiang Ge's ears, all these words can be boiled down to one thing - "firewood".

This imperial capital, even the first mountain and sea, and the second mountain and sea that has just been completely controlled by the empire, are the firewood that feeds this furnace to burn.

Of course, the so-called firewood salary is also graded.

Those who can come to this imperial capital are definitely the best quality fuel.

"Since it's a furnace, what's going on in there?"

Such doubts flashed in Jiang Ge's heart, but he didn't ask.

Among the many books he interpreted, there were many secrets recorded in the Taiping Dao.

Among the Seven Supreme Pillars, one of them used the name of "fire", but in the end, he abandoned the old "fire" and used the power of the void to ignite the unprecedented "fire of civilization", turning it into a crucible of destruction and creation......

And she is now the patron of the Empire.

The actions of the empire are related to her.

The huge melting pot called the "Imperial Capital" in front of him is naturally the same.

But knowing is knowing, with his current knowledge and personality, it is still difficult for some strong people to see through the essence of the things cast in the "imperial capital".

However, Jiang Ge had a hunch.

It should be said that the "people who explore the secrets" who have stepped into this imperial capital and reached a certain level can definitely feel it.

The flames of this furnace have burned to the extreme.

And with the surrender of the "Second Mountain and Sea", the addition of more firewood is bound to make this flame transform into the ultimate pure cyan.

In the furnace, what is forged will also be born.

After all, this process may take years, decades, or even a lifetime for mortals.

Of course, for some beings, such a time may pass as soon as the eyes are closed.

It seems that he was given a vacation by that Director Xia.

Jiang Yu looked like I had nothing to do now, so I took Jiang Ge to the official reception center of the empire to live first.

Then, the two of them started hanging around.

Jiang Ge didn't mind getting to know the customs of the imperial capital.

At first, I was very interested, but soon my interest faded.

The main reason is that this guy's personality is too upright, and he has taken him over to some more solemn places, and the introduction is also simply two sentences.

Coupled with the overall atmosphere of the imperial capital, Jiang Ge really didn't have much interest.

"In this huge imperial capital, there should always be some place for entertainment."

Bored and following Jiang Yu, Jiang Ge walked on the road to the imperial capital, looking at the pedestrians on the street looking like they were in a hurry.

High-quality firewood also means exuberant desires, and in this world, excessively exuberant desires often lead to the advent of abnormal things.

In fact, just now, Jiang Ge saw the side of the road in the distance, as if something had happened.

It seems that something evil was born.

Just as he was about to make a move, the next second, an armored car appeared out of nowhere.

Whirring and screaming.

A group of people who looked like they were wearing biochemical suits and were heavily armed members of the Anti-Suppression Bureau.

In less than a few breaths, the evil thing was directly burned to ashes.

Collect the corpse and wash the floor in one go.

And then it just drove away like the wind.

The people on the side of the road also seemed to be used to seeing this kind of thing, but they just looked at it twice, and they didn't react much, so they continued to do what they should do.

"Also, under the fire of such a strong furnace, even if any "foreign matter" is born, it will be burned to ashes and turned into fuel......

Jiang Ge slandered in his heart, no wonder Taiping Dao wrote in the collected information that there was no cult that dared to come to the imperial capital to do things.

】

Even if it is the White Lotus Sect, the Taiping Dao or something, it is also divided in the imperial capital.

Can this be restless?

Even if something really big happens, next to the imperial capital is Wudu, the largest military arsenal in the empire......

Not to mention the Imperial warships and airships he had seen.

When he passed by a research and development base in Wudu before, he glanced at it in a hurry, and now he even doubted that those people in the military department could open the Gundam from inside......

But......

Jiang Ge frowned at the thought of this.

Second, the mountains and seas have been surrendered, why is the empire still in this posture of constant expansion.

Although it is absolutely necessary to maintain force, but the first and second mountains and seas have already fallen under the control of the empire, where else can the empire expand?

In other words, the empire has prepared to put its swords and soldiers into the warehouse, change its strategy, and digest the fruits of victory in the second mountain and sea.

But if this is the case, why didn't he feel the slightest bit from the flames burning in this imperial capital, the empire has the intention of stopping expansion.

Jiang Ge glanced at Jiang Yu, and then asked this question casually.

Before Jiang Yu could answer, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind him.

"The Empire will not stop expanding, this is the promise made by His Majesty the Candle Dragon."

Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man in white walking over slowly with a smile.

"The dragon girl I was waiting for, I haven't seen you for a long time."

This person is the leader of the Dragon Worship Sect who single-handedly manipulated the resurrection of the Dragon King in Dragon Palace City before!
