Extraordinary Mechanical City

In a small booth in the Rose Tavern.

Ren invited the coquettish and sexy Sid Blood Ancestor to drink.

After a fight, that Lilith also understood her situation, and the negotiation went smoothly.

Ren also went straight to the point, and a few simple sentences explained what he meant.

Hearing the "truths" from Ren's mouth, that Lilith's expression also changed from the initial casualness to becoming more and more dignified.

Finally, she also understood why Black Dragon City chose to cooperate with Sid Empire.

Not long after, Lilith's face regained that top-level and extraordinary calmness.

She also understood what Ryan said, and said: "So, what you mean is that the humans in our Iceridge Wasteland were called the 'Dark Demon Clan' in ancient times. And there must be foreigners outside the mist. They have already discovered us, and they may attack?"

Ren nodded, and he felt that what should be said has been said, "Yes. If the contract is okay, I think Miss Lilith can sign the cooperation contract first. Then, I can show you some physical evidence we found, proving that What I said is true. For example, an extraterritorial mechanical airship"

At this time, he also put the contract document that he had prepared long ago on the table.

Lilith didn't look at the contract, and brushed a strand of hair in front of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course I can trust the Lord of Rennes. But... you really don't consider marriage? My vampire looks handsome, what do you want? There are all kinds of beauties, and they will definitely satisfy you."

"."

Ren didn't know why Lilith kept focusing on the topic of "marriage".

He didn't want to become a tool for marriage, so naturally he couldn't agree.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the establishment of Black Dragon City was based on three marriages. But they didn't know that the three women beside Ren, no matter Ymir, Kanosha or Udo, all share the same troubles and have a deep emotional foundation.

Ren frowned. Compared with any unreliable marriage, he still felt that the "magic contract" was more reliable.

In order to dispel this idea of ​​the blood ancestor, he said casually: "I think Miss Lilith is pretty good."

Hearing this, Lilith's seductive eyes narrowed slightly. Instead of feeling embarrassed at all, she teased with a smile, "Yo? So the Lord of Rennes thinks so?"

She stared at Ren, turned her eyes, flashed a touch of jokes, and said, "If you really want to think like this, it's not impossible to think about it."

"."

Ren rolled his eyes, and he immediately realized that he shouldn't play tricks with this kind of vampire who has lived for more than a thousand years, and he should just do business.

This time, he didn't pick up the topic again, but directly dipped the quill pen into the magic potion, handed it to the blood ancestor in front of him, and said: "If Miss Lilith thinks there is nothing wrong with the terms of cooperation, let's sign it first and then talk? "

"The Lord of Rennes is really puzzled."

Lilith pursed her lips, pretending to be disappointed.

She took the quill and signed her name "Lilith Dracula" on it without hesitation.

In the next second, the magic pattern on the high-level contract scroll flashed and disappeared, and the contract took effect.

Seeing this, Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this tavern, two persons in power representing the greatest forces on the Ice Ridge Wasteland signed a cooperation contract with great historical significance in a very casual atmosphere.

From today onwards, the Sid Empire will no longer be a threat to Black Dragon City, but an ally.

Lilith keenly caught Ren's soothing brow, but at this moment, she was not talking about cooperation, but asked a meaningful question: "Master Ren, do you know why I put the fate of the Sid Empire on the table?" Are you betting on this contract?"

"???"

Ren raised his brows when he heard this, and thought: Isn't it because of the strength of Black Dragon City that you have to agree?

Obviously not.

Lilith glanced at him, as if she had guessed what Ren was thinking.

She shook her head slightly, but the arc of her mouth was not a smile, but more like admiration, "Since I know you have comprehended the power of the three laws just now, I have decided to cooperate with you. Otherwise... I really want to force you , you can’t keep me.”

The fifth-order transcendence who has comprehended the three laws is a monstrous talent that Lilith has never heard of even after living for more than a thousand years.

The potential is immeasurable.

Coupled with the topic of "outside the territory", this is the biggest "treasure" in Black Dragon City in her eyes.

"because I?"

When Ren heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also showed a hint of bewilderment.

Top-level transcendents more or less have a few hidden registration methods, either secret methods, or some transcendent props.

The Sid Empire has existed for tens of thousands of years, and its background is unimaginably strong. And this [Blood Ancestor] Lilith, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is naturally not short of treasures.

He smiled, stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

Lilith didn't say anything more, after all, the contract had already been signed.

She didn't shake hands with Rennes, but stood up naturally, took his arm, and said intimately: "Now the contract has been signed, and I am yours. Let's go, Lord Rennes, you Also take me to see how many secrets your Black Dragon City hides."

This blood ancestor made no secret of his coquettish charm, and it was obvious that he was going to be seductive.

Ren felt a little helpless by the blood ancestor's enthusiasm.

It is impolite to refuse, to break free.

Moreover, holding hands seems to be a normal communication among acquaintances?

But they don't seem to be that familiar?

On this day, Rennes, the lord of Black Dragon City, fought a battle with Sid [Blood Ancestor] Lilith, and the news of the draw spread throughout the Ice Ridge Wasteland.

Only then did everyone realize that the mysterious Lord of the Black Dragon City already possessed a combat power comparable to that of the top ten legends.

What everyone didn't expect was that after that day, the Sid Empire, which originally regarded Black Dragon City as a "scourge", opened its borders, and signed a series of cooperation agreements with Black Dragon City. , allowing cross-border hunting.

Everyone has guessed that it must be the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith who controls Sid and Rennes, the lord of the Black Dragon City, must have reached some secret agreement.

Although outsiders can't understand why such a big ancient empire suddenly "surrendered" to a new city.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, once Sid opens the border and cooperates with peace, he will definitely "suffer a big loss" unilaterally.

Black Dragon City's brand-new system without nobles will surely destroy Sid's aristocratic system that has been passed down for thousands of years.

However, everyone knows that things are definitely not that simple.

Without the exchange of benefits, the [Blood Ancestor] probably didn't foolishly give away the huge empire with both hands.

As for what Ren and Lilith talked about, it is naturally unknown to outsiders.

But this is the benefit of the blood race in power.

Ren also saw the blood ancestor's wrist and control.

Things are very different for Sid and Omar.

If it were the previous Omar, anyone who dared to damage the interests of the old aristocratic group, even if you were a royal family, would be killed every minute, making it impossible to let the policy go down.

Just like the former Ymir and her "New Deal".

In the Sid Empire, the emperor might not have the right to let all the nobles obey orders, but that [Blood Ancestor] Lilith did.

Because almost all the prince-level blood ancestors of Sid are her blood descendants.

Lilith has absolute control over the Sid regime.

Even if she is always afraid that the nobles will not understand the business system of Black Dragon City for the time being, if she says to implement it, she will definitely implement it immediately.

What's more, from a short-term point of view, doing business with Black Dragon City will indeed damage the interests of the nobles of the Sid Empire and cause population loss.

But in the longer term, things are different.

If Sid and Black Dragon City were a whole, it wouldn't be considered an exodus.

The system of Black Dragon City will definitely affect Sid, and the old aristocratic system will indeed gradually disintegrate and change.

But as for wealth and power, it does not necessarily decrease.

As long as the veteran nobles can seize the opportunity, even if the policy changes, the resources in their hands will allow them to remain the wealthiest group of people in the world, and their rights and wealth will only be much more.

Although Lilith has listened to a wave of theoretical explanations from Ryan, she doesn't quite understand what the "capitalist society" that Sid will become in the future will look like.

But she chose to take Ryan's word for it.

because

Only after signing the contract did she see the terrifying combat power of Black Dragon City that could make the entire Ice Ridge Wasteland tremble!

Only then did she realize that the target of Black Dragon City was never Sid, nor Omar.

Because, these two huge and bloated empires are not qualified to pose a threat at all in the eyes of this "black dragon" that has already taken off.

Their goal from beginning to end is outside the Ice Ridge Wasteland!

Lilith is also full of interest in that "extraterritorial world".

In front of the extraordinary rank leading to the fifth rank and above, the ancient aristocratic system looks so ridiculous. In this extraordinary world, any rights and wealth are based on the premise of absolute combat power.

If they continue to keep the original system and finally wait for the enemies from outside the region to come, their only ending is to be enslaved.

Lilith once thought that she had reached the end of the extraordinary. In this boring world, it would be better to sleep.

Now, she saw the path to becoming a god.

A new life begins.

After the hidden dangers of the Sid Empire were resolved, Black Dragon City really fell into a period of rapid development.

Adhering to the concept of "build roads first, get rich later", Rennes directly used a lot of machinery and manpower to build mountains and bridges, and opened up the "Black Dragon Pass" connecting Sid and Black Dragon City.

At this point, Sid's large mechanical city can also pass this road to the land west of the Alcoron Mountains, which is richer in resources.

And because there was no restriction on population circulation, the population of Black Dragon City skyrocketed again.

The nobles of Sid were forced to obey their orders at the beginning, but later discovered that it was "really fragrant".

Although the nobles lost some monopoly industries. But they found that after the economy in the territory revived, the commercial taxation alone reached a level that they never dared to imagine.

At that moment, the merchants in Sid realized how "rich" Black Dragon City really is!

In a short period of one or two years, the commercial tax has surpassed the "agricultural tax" and "hunting tax" that the lords once regarded as their lifeblood.

They found that as the people became richer, the gold coins in their own treasury did not decrease, but increased.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Of course, there's a sideshow.

That is, there is a gossip circulating in the market, saying that Sid's [Blood Ancestor] Lilith is the secret lover of the mysterious city lord Ren.

Someone witnessed the alluring Miss Lilith entering and leaving the Santo's apartment late at night and early in the morning.

No one explained, and no one clarified.

On the contrary, because of the rumors, the cooperation between Black Dragon City and Sid became more tacit.

Of course, everyone took it for granted. The people of Sid think that only the Black Dragon City Lord is worthy of their blood ancestor; and the leaders of Black Dragon City also think that only the blood ancestor of Sid is worthy of their city master.

Omar, on the other hand, is less rosy.

Now Omar has split into more than a dozen "kingdoms", and they are fighting each other with great joy.

It is also impossible for Black Dragon City to cooperate with the Sid Empire with the dozen or so small kingdoms that are scattered like sand.

Those veteran nobles of Omar were still reluctant to give up their noble rights, and kept a sufficient distance and vigilance from Black Dragon City. Their biggest connection with Black Dragon City is to buy various war steam equipment through arms dealers or the black market.

In a few more years, maybe Omar will reunite.

However, reality did not give them that time.

Because, the enemy from outside the domain has finally arrived!

On this day, next to the barren land of the far east of Orma.

A group of more than ten steam airship vanguards slowly descended from the cliff.

Not long after, more than a hundred steam airships with different shapes descended from the clouds like a black tide.

And the exterior of the armor of these more than one hundred mechanical airships is sprayed with a special white paint logo, which is a holy light angel holding a sword, which is the logo of the "Holy Light Alliance".

Because the steam airship is supposed to float in the air, it is generally small in size, a fraction of the size of a conventional "ghoul-class" mechanical city.

Most of these more than one hundred ships are only as big as one or two football fields.

But among all the steam airships, there was a huge one that stood out from the crowd.

It was a huge airship shaped like a shark. The rest of the blimps looked like prey in the shark's mouth by comparison.

On the splint of this huge airship, a group of witnesses in white surrounded a handsome young man with three eyes.

A subordinate reported: "Master Credo, we have arrived at the ancestral land of the 'Dark Demons'. According to the previous information, "The most troublesome things in this ice ridge wasteland are the two empires of Sid and Omar. , and a place called 'Black Dragon City'"

The arrogant young man named Credo did not change his expression after listening to his subordinate's report.

He looked at the flowing black mist in the air, with a look of great interest on his face: "Tsk tsk. The extraordinary law is limited to the fifth level, which is a bit interesting. The fourth level comprehends the 'artistic concept', and the fifth level can comprehend the law." Back then, the Black Emperor left a good backup."

The subordinate said again: "My lord, according to the information, these 'dark demons' absorb black mist all the year round, and their bodies are indeed much stronger than ours. But this time we brought a mechanical airship, and we can completely crush them with technology. There is no need to fight head-on. Even if the intelligence says that Black Dragon City has a group of flying dragons, our 'king-class battleship' is enough to destroy everything."

"."

Hearing this, Credo didn't say any more, and seemed to agree with this statement.

Those mechanical cities? Or a dragon?

In the face of absolute technological crushing, it is not worth mentioning at all.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke: "Which force are we closest to now?"

"Omar Empire."

"Then kill this Omar first."

"yes."

Half a month later, the top management of Black Dragon City held an emergency meeting.

Ren, all the high-level executives of Black Dragon City, and that [Blood Race] Lilith gathered together

"I just got the news that Omar's imperial capital Uxenbar has been captured! The enemy's number is about 120 mechanical airships. It took them only two days to capture Uxenbar. Now the troops are divided into three groups. All the way towards Sid, all the way to the vanguard towards our 'Black Dragon City', and all the way behind."

"The enemy's siege method is similar to what we expected. They did not engage Usenbair's army head-on, but directly bombed and destroyed the city."

"According to the information from the extraordinary of the perception system, there are at least 8,000 people on the opponent's fifth-level extraordinary, and there are also some with strong aura. Moreover, there is also a very large airship, which is loaded with weapons that can break the rules. Mech City Armored Giant Gunpowder Cannon"

"Those people don't seem to intend to kill them all. After defeating Wusenbal, if they choose to believe in the three-eyed evil god, they are all pardoned from the death penalty."

"."

Hearing a series of cruel information, everyone present showed a shocked but expected expression.

The enemy from outside the territory finally came.
