Steel Chang'an

Chapter 10

On the westernmost side of Chang'an City, where Daming Palace is far away, there is a dark cloud floating in the sky.If the people living in the west of Chang'an City raised their heads, they would find that this dark cloud had been hanging over their heads for many days.If they stand high enough and look far enough, they will see that it is not actually a dark cloud.

It was a battleship.

The shape of the battleship is very strange, and the shadow it casts on the ground is like the head of a howling wolf.

That was the flagship of the Northwest Blue Wolf.The flagship of the Northwestern Canglang is the royal driver of the wolf head.

The energy crystals used to drive battleships are very expensive. Whether it is the military machine pavilion in Chang'an City or the warships in Donglin, Heishan, and Toyokawa, they usually stop in space without gravity to reduce the consumption of crystals.Letting such a huge battleship suspend in the sky close to the surface, resisting the gravity from the continent, consumes a lot of spar.

In the thousand-year history of the Pangea Continent, there were only three wars in which battleships were dispatched.

Because warships are too expensive, if they are put into war, there will be a huge price, and the energy spars that drive the warships are too scarce, resulting in very limited combat mobility of the warships.In many cases, the existence of warships is more like a deterrent.

But Langshou let his warship stop over Chang'an City without hesitation, and it stopped for several days.

Because he was ordered to protect the city, he swore that the Northwest Wolf would never set foot on the land of Chang'an City.But the oath does not prevent his warship from staying in the sky above Chang'an City, nor does it prevent him from arranging Mu Yun from Baima City to fight for the Northwest Wolf.

The battleship is named Wolf Moon.

The Wolf Moon hovered over Chang'an City like a dark cloud. This oppressive feeling made Chang'an people very unhappy, but the Wolf Lord felt very happy.

There is a vacuum shield outside the battleship, as if a small world has been isolated.There are winds, green bamboos, pools, and even a small desert in Xiaotiandi.

In the desert there is a tent with ventilation on all sides. Inside the tent is a fruit plate, and outside the tent there are dancers from outside the Great Wall dancing.

Lord Wolf sat in the tent, squinting his eyes, basking in the sun, eating the grapes in the hand of the beautiful maid.

It feels so good.

Looking down from the battleship, not only can you clearly see the Tongque Terrace, but you can also clearly see the Daming Palace.

The wolf master's eyes are good, black and bright, and his short curly hair is also black. Under the open placket, his swollen chest is exposed, and his chest muscles are also tanned by the sun.

Just looking at his appearance, he is a handsome man with a bright personality. It is hard to imagine that he is the wolf head of the brutal Northwest Wolf.

And when the wolf lord feels cool, he is indeed a very cool person.

So after hearing what the person sitting across from him said, he immediately burst into hearty laughter, and spit out a little bit of saliva along the way.

To be precise, the person sitting opposite the Wolf Lord was not a person, but a virtual hologram, so those spittle stars just passed through his body and didn't really land on his face.

But the man still frowned, subconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and said: "The battle of Tongque Terrace turned out exactly as the wolf lord expected. Now Li Jing has been expelled from the Chang'an Knights, and the big army plane is wandering outside again. There is no news, life and death are unknown. At this time, the city of Chang'an is empty, and it is a great opportunity for the wolf lord to take over Chang'an. No wonder the wolf lord is so happy.

"If my predictions are correct, it won't be long before the Daming Palace will decree to appoint the wolf lord as the city guard general.

"As long as the wolf lord doesn't move that person in Daming Palace, the nobles in Chang'an City will easily bow their heads to the strong.

"At that time, the northwestern wolf will enter the city according to the order, and the wolf master will sit in Chang'an City. He will command the world under one man and over ten thousand people. Who would dare not obey?"

After the man finished speaking, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled gracefully.His lips are very red, his skin is very fair, and his every move reveals a noble air. When he smiles, he has a kind of innate self-confidence that only aristocrats have.

He is confident that Lord Wolf will be satisfied after hearing what he said.

Sure enough, the wolf lord laughed, patted his thigh and said, "What an order, who dares to disobey! Since you have even thought about the official position for me, it seems that I, the 'General of the City', is going to fall on you body?"

"That's natural." The man smiled confidently, and said, "The wolf lord expelled Li Jing for me, and I should also repay the wolf lord, and use my family and connections to deal with the wolf lord in Daming Palace."

Hearing this, the wolf lord let out a hearty laugh again.The man also twitched the corner of his mouth, and laughed a few times along with him.He didn't expect that Lord Wolf was such a laughing person.

It's just that this time the wolf lord laughed for a long time, the corners of his mouth were already stiffened, but the wolf lord's laughter continued.Afterwards, the laughter was like a howling of a wolf, continuous and continuous, shaking the eardrums, which made him feel a little palpitation.

So he couldn't help asking: "Why is Lord Wolf laughing?"

But the wolf master stopped laughing, stared into the man's eyes and said, "I'm laughing at you."

When the wolf master is not smiling, his gaze is like that of a giant wolf in the desert, with wild fire burning in his eyes.It was scary to be stared at by those eyes.

The man moved his body unnaturally, forced a smile and said, "What's so funny about me?"

"I'm laughing at you...and the people behind you, they're doing their best," said the wolf lord.

"Using a number one knight in exchange for a city guard general, isn't it a good deal for you?
"The ambition of the Northwestern wolf is the whole world, but you are trying to use a city to raise this wolf and turn it into a dog that guards the house and growl for you to those who covet Chang'an until the dog is completely wiped out." If it loses wolf nature, it is not far from death.

"You Chang'an people are not only conceited, but also stupid. You always try to control things that you can't control, but you don't understand—"

He stared into the man's eyes and said word by word: "A wolf is a wolf, and a wolf will never become a dog."

The man was very uncomfortable being stared at by the wolf lord, his face darkened, and he said: "So, does the wolf lord plan to be the general who protects the city?"

But the wolf master slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Do it! Of course! Why don't you do it?"

"You dare to bet the entire city of Chang'an. If I dare not bet with you, wouldn't I be ridiculed by the whole continent? My wolf lord doesn't even have the guts to do that?"

The wolf master said, with a sly gleam in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, although a wolf will not turn into a dog, it can still pretend to be a dog when there is meat to eat. Facing Daming Palace and Chang'an City Those nobles here wag their tails a few times, I can still do this little thing. As for the future, let’s wait and see."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With the words of Lord Wolf, I feel relieved..."

But the wolf master continued: "It's just that you are too easy to be sentimental. I want Li Jing to leave Chang'an City. Naturally, I have my purpose, and it's not for you. Speaking of which, the matter I want you to inquire about, Is there anything left?"

That person suddenly felt a bad breath in his chest. Dealing with people like the wolf master made him feel very aggrieved.

He was originally a proud man, very particular about his background and self-cultivation, according to his character, he really wanted to just walk away, and it would be best to throw his sleeves on the wolf lord's face.

But he held back and reported a coordinate.

A coordinate that he shouldn't have divulged in the first place.

The coordinates that a wolf master is determined to win.

When he reported the coordinates, he faintly felt that he had let out a bad breath.Because he knew that no matter what the wolf lord's wishful thinking was, at least in this coordinate, the wolf lord would never be able to please him.

Because he is already near this coordinate and has made a perfect layout.Thinking of the wolf lord's deflated expression soon after, his mood became more comfortable again, and he felt a little chatty, so he asked casually, "Mu Yun was defeated in the battle of Tongque Terrace, how does the wolf lord plan to deal with him?"

"Why, you're also interested in that kid?" Wolf Lord said, grabbing a grape and throwing it into his mouth, "If you want to get his idea, I advise you to give up your mind.

"I admire this kid very much, and I have tried to make him my man. But Mu Yun of Baima City is Mu Yun of Baima City after all, and will not become Mu Yun of Northwest Wolf. If this is the case, the more potential he has, the more potential he has. It's more dangerous for me.

"Anyone who is not me is my enemy. Therefore, Mu Yun of Baima City cannot stay."

The man was very satisfied with the answer, so he laughed and said, "It is said that Daming Palace also meant the same thing to Mu Yun."

This means killing intent.

The wolf lord also smiled, a bit slyly, "Whoever says he can't stay, he will kill him?"

"Mu Yun can't stay in Chang'an City, but if he has the ability to get out of Chang'an, I'm interested to see how far this little guy can go on this continent.

"If he has the ability to walk out of Chang'an City, how about giving the armor Xifeng...to this little guy for fun?"

But inside Chang'an City, there are already chasing soldiers from the remnants of Baima City, and outside Chang'an City, there are heavy troops from the Northwest Wolf. How can Mu Yun go out with only a heavily damaged battle armor Xifeng?

Although the man didn't open his mouth, there was puzzlement in his eyes.

The wolf master winked and said three words: "We'll see."

Mu Yun couldn't move anymore.

In the Battle of Tongque Terrace, the core engine of the armor Xifeng was destroyed, and the system collapsed due to the instant flameout, resulting in the failure of most of the armor functions.Now, the battle armor Xifeng only relies on the power of two auxiliary engines, and captures Mu Yun's steps through the neuron system sensor, moving forward step by step cumbersomely.

With every step forward, West Wind's damaged fuselage made harsh metal friction sounds.The bearing shaft that has been damaged and lost its balance seems to be broken at any time, making this huge monster look precarious.Inside the mecha, every time he took a step, Mu Yun felt the muscles on his thighs ached, as if the weight of tens of tons was all hanging on his legs.

very tired.This is Mu Yun's only feeling now.

From Baima City to Chang'an, he has traveled a long way.Except for the wolf lord and a very few people, few people know how he made it all the way, and even Mu Yun himself doesn't want to recall it.

Because this journey is too hard and the memories are too painful.Many people, many things, he wants to forget.But some people, some things, he can't forget.

So he can only carry them on his shoulders and keep going.

Although the steps were heavy and the process was tiring, he kept walking forward, because there was no way back behind him.

It is impossible for him to return to White Horse City.On this continent, there is no White Horse City anymore.

He still remembers the last appearance of White Horse City, the wind on the desert blowing through the white castle, the young white knight held his hand and whispered something to him.

At that time, there happened to be an eagle flying across the blue sky, with its outstretched wings brushing over the white spire.That picture is beautiful, just like the White Horse City in his memory.

"Even if the whole continent thinks that you have betrayed White Horse City, I will not believe it." The young white knight held his hand and said to him, "Because I am the Young Lord of White Horse City, I know you have not betrayed me .

"It's just... I'm afraid I don't have time to explain all this.

"I'm sorry...I can't move anymore.

"The next road, you go on for me.

"I'll leave West Wind to you, if possible, take a look at Chang'an for me.

"I haven't walked out of this desert in my life, and I haven't seen the most prosperous city of Chang'an on this continent. Thinking about it this way, I really don't want to be reconciled..."

The young knight said that he was not reconciled, but the expression on his face was very calm, and there was even a smile at the corner of his mouth.Because he knows that his way is over.The traveler at the end of the journey is always very peaceful, because he can finally unload his burden.

It's time for Mu Yun to go on the next road.

"Go to Chang'an, go to become a real knight, and go see more places in this continent." The young knight said so.

"Don't look back, just go on like this." These were the last words the young knight said to him.

Mu Yun didn't look back, so he didn't see the appearance of Baima City being breached.The last White Horse City he saw was still that beautiful White Horse City.

The young knight was wearing a white battle armor, lying on the hillside where wildflowers bloomed in Whitehorse City and closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.In the distance is the White Castle of White Horse City, and the wind blowing from the desert gently blows the battle flag of White Horse City.

The blood gushing out from the knight's body penetrated the white battle armor, like big red flowers blooming on the pure white ground.

There was a peaceful smile on the knight's face.

Mu Yun's mood is also very peaceful now.Only now did he know that fatigue was such a peaceful feeling.

He was too tired to be angry.His anger when the wolf master claimed that the battle armor of the young master of Baima City was the trophy of the Northwest Wolf and asked him to redeem it with the laurels of the Chang'an City Knight Competition.

He also has no strength to be reconciled.When he was only one step away from winning the laurel of the Chang'an City Knight Tournament and redeeming the armor Xifeng, but was defeated by Li Jing with one move, his unwillingness.

He only feels very tired and tired now, but his heart is very peaceful, even a little numb.

He knew he was going to be unable to walk.

He knew that the whole continent considered him a traitor to White Horse City.

He knew that even if the wolf lord let him go, the remnants of Baima City would not give up hunting him down.

He knew that there were more than one armor with stealth mode turned on behind him, and they might attack him anytime, anywhere.

He also knew that West Wind could no longer fight.

But what about that?
Even if he can't walk anymore, he will continue to walk.

Even if he can't fight, he will continue to fight.

Even if there is no way, he has to find a way.

Just go on like this.

until he fell down.

Until then, he'll keep going.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun felt very peaceful.

His surroundings were also peaceful.

Before he knew it, he had already walked out of the main city of Chang'an, and the scenery in front of him became more and more desolate.

If the astonishing prosperity in the main city of Chang'an does not show the decline of Chang'an, then Guocheng outside the main city seems to show people how the most glorious city on the Pangu Continent is. Step by step toward decline.

Empty store windows, uninhabited houses like ghost streets, and a scene of depression everywhere.

It was getting late, and the time of light in this Guocheng seemed to be far less than that of the main city of Chang'an. It was only afternoon, and the streets were already dark.The sound of mechanical friction from the battle armor Xifeng and Mu Yun's heavy breathing in the cockpit seemed to be the only sounds on this broken street.

At this moment, he saw a neon sign lit up on the gray street.Look at the words above, it is a machine repair shop.Those rough fonts shining with colorful light gradually blurred into a piece of white light in Mu Yun's tired eyes.

Go, don't look back, just keep going like this.

Mu Yun thought, gritted her teeth, and walked step by step towards the only beam of light.
