"Yo!"
In the blue sky, a large bird with a wingspan of more than ten meters hovered at an altitude of several thousand meters, its sharp eyes swept across the ground below, and seemed to see the traces of its prey.
Looking down from its line of sight, it is a huge and prosperous city, with high-rise buildings and majestic atmosphere, far from being comparable to a second-tier city like Yangchuan City.
This is the center of the entire Kaiyuan Dynasty, the imperial capital!
In the imperial capital, there are many small black dots moving, which are human figures, and the prey in the big bird's eyes is them.
It's just that the big bird hovered in the air for a long time, and finally chose to give up the attack and fluttered away.
And it wasn't until the figure flew away completely and disappeared at the end of the sky that the several anti-aircraft artillery erected on the roof of the city returned to their original positions.
If the big bird came down for an air strike just now, it would be greeted by a series of heavy artillery fire.
"call."
The people in the city below breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their respective positions to get busy.
Since the beginning of the era of cataclysm, the living area of human beings has been compressed to a very small area.
In this land, countless powerful mutants and various monsters have been born, attacking human beings, causing huge and heavy casualties to human beings.
Not only the loss of territory in the wild, but also the crisis within the city, almost all cities in the entire Kaiyuan Dynasty fell for a time.
Fortunately, the cataclysm did not target humans, and some awakened people with awakening abilities were born on the human side, and some awakened people united to fight back.
Some joined the local garrison and fought for survival. With their efforts, some territories were returned to the hands of humans.
Many powerful monsters were destroyed under the attack of the Awakened and the powerful firepower of the army.
The Imperial Capital is a city that has been successfully recaptured. After all, there are well-equipped and elite royal legions stationed here.
Although countless monsters appeared when the cataclysm occurred, after paying a great price, they were finally recaptured and returned to the hands of human beings. After the imperial capital was recovered, human officials gradually adjusted back from being beaten and began to prepare. Recover some important cities, and actively contact the garrison and the awakened people in various regions to encourage everyone to fight spontaneously and fight monsters.
It's just that the effect is not very ideal. There have been many existences that are difficult for humans to fight in the world. That is, the biological conventional thermal weapons that have reached the fierce level are difficult to pose a threat to the fierce level, but they can easily rely on the strange and terrible ability. Slaughter humans and fight armies on your own.
And with the growth of time, the intelligence of monsters is also improving. Even the most brainless mutants in the early stage of the catastrophe are now gradually giving birth to spiritual intelligence, starting to think, and becoming a new life form.
This means that their level of danger is greatly increased, and some survivors hiding in the city are more difficult.
In addition, those evolutionary creatures who were at a disadvantage at the beginning, after being promoted to the calamity level, also gave birth to special abilities, and their combat power was greatly improved.
Their level of intelligence is no lower than that of humans, and they have begun to think about the meaning of their existence, and even occupy territories and form forces.
Although they are less hostile to humans than mutants, there are even a few evolved species that were once pets and still obey their owners.
However, most of the evolutionary species are still reluctant to deal with humans, and have a strong sense of territory, which brings great obstacles to the recovery of human territory.
But so far, in this crisis-ridden world, it is not them that make humans feel powerless the most.
It is the powerful existence of those list-level.
The creatures on the list are extraordinary beings that are beyond the scope of human cognition, possess incredible power and are extremely dangerous.
For example, the list of creatures such as the Nest of Horror, Hell Demon, etc., has been turned into a restricted area, and no one dares to set foot on it.
Royal Palace, Council Chamber.
A young man with handsome features and fair face was sitting in front of the dragon case to handle affairs, with a large number of documents waiting for approval.
The man wearing a python robe is not the emperor of this country, but a consul with temporary power.
"His Royal Highness."
An administrative officer came forward to report the work.
The man in the python robe in front of the dragon case raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed very tired.
Seeing the visitor, there was a gleam in the eyes of the eldest prince, as if he hoped that the person in front of him could bring him good news: "How is the battle situation in Jincheng?"
The Administrative Officer Hui reported: "According to the news from the front line, most of the monsters in the urban area of Jincheng City have been eliminated.
Only a few escaped. At present, the Second Army of the Royal Army has successfully taken over Jincheng and is cleaning the city and checking for hidden monsters. "
"Great!"
The eldest prince was full of energy, with a look of joy on his face.
During this period of time, internal and external troubles have tortured the eldest prince who is temporarily in power. Before all the news of the fall of various regions, loss of contact, casualties, and requests for support, his head was about to blow up. Good news has arrived.
"Recovering the city of Jin is just the beginning, and the next step is to radiate the sphere of influence to the surrounding area.
As long as several important transportation hub cities in Taibei Province are taken down and returned to the control of human beings, there is hope for the recovery of the whole country! "The First Prince said with confidence.
He got up immediately and marked several important cities near the imperial capital on the map as targets for subsequent recovery.
However, after marking a few cities, when I saw the last city, I was hesitant and did not write. .
The name of that city is Yangchuan, an inconspicuous place name.
"Thunder Roar..."
The eldest prince naturally knew what the meaning of this city was. It was the territory of the Thunder Bear.
Although it seems to have temporarily left Yangchuan City, it really wants to recover Yangchuan City, and when it returns,
In case of being provoked, who can quell its anger! ?
"never mind."
The eldest prince finally gave up the plan to recover Yangchuan City and changed his way.
Many people on the Internet believe that Thunder Roar is the patron saint of mankind, helping mankind defeat monsters. Although the eldest prince does not believe this, at least he thinks that the bear has no idea of enmity with mankind.
So it's better not to stimulate it, as long as it ignores human beings, and the two sides are at peace with each other, and neither interferes with each other is the best result.
"By the way, have you investigated the abnormal vibration of the Taiyun Mountains?"
The First Prince asked.
Some time ago, a violent tremor occurred in the depths of the Taiyun Mountains, and even the imperial capital felt the tremor, which naturally alarmed the official high-level officials.
Fortunately, a large earthquake of this scale broke out in a sparsely populated area, otherwise it would have been a catastrophic disaster, causing countless casualties.
After the earthquake, the official observed the pictures there through several artificial satellites of Shangneng Communication. It didn't matter if you didn't look at it. After a look, I found that all the monsters on the list who had left their territory and disappeared without a trace had actually come here.
This made the official high-level officials wonder what attracted them in the depths of the Taiyun Mountains, whether it was a rare treasure or a divine object, and what kind of connection it had with the earthquake.
It's just that they don't know that the current human forces are not qualified enough to participate at all.
"His Royal Highness, there is no new information yet. I only know that those creatures are heading to the epicenter, and the things they robbed should be underground in the center of the epicenter."
"Hey."
After the initial excitement passed, the eldest prince's expression became tired again, because the reality was still so heavy, and the recovery of the city of Jin was just a small beginning. For the huge territory of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it was just a small place.
However, it is not easy. The Taibei Province just in front of you is overwhelming, let alone other territories. There are many powerful monsters marked on the map.
This is only known, and who knows how many others have not been discovered by humans that cannot defeat these powerful creatures, nothing.
And apart from the places occupied by monsters, the betrayal of the subjects also chilled the ruling eldest prince.
Some human forces that fought back and reclaimed their territories on their own, after driving away the monsters, gradually formed independent regimes, completely ignoring the imperial capital's communication, and there was a sign of a separatist party and a self-proclaimed king.
The territory is broken, monsters are rampant, the eldest prince can't help but fall into confusion, can the entire dynasty really be unified?
Even, if one day, there is a list-level monster that doesn't look good to humans, and rushes into the imperial capital to slaughter, can humans stop it?
The eldest prince did not trust his army.
Boom!
Just when he wanted to talk to his political officer, a rumbling sound came from the underground of the city.
The whole city trembled slightly, and the people in the city were at a loss, not knowing what was going on.
