In the center of the square, beside the largest bonfire, Emperor Shun was sitting on a straw mat, wearing a coarse robe, smilingly looking at the conflict between Man Man and Zhu Rong Tianming, who was about a hundred meters away.
Picking up a bowl of warm wine, Emperor Shun sighed in a low voice, "It's so good to be young, so energetic!"
Those who could sit together with Emperor Shun were all important human beings, such as the Master Elder of the Huaxu Family, the current leader of the Lie Mountain Family, Feng Qinxin, the young master of the phoenix-kind, and so on.
Apart from these people, who could shake the entire Pu Ban City with a single word, a tall and sturdy man wearing a tall hat and a long robe was sitting beside Emperor Shun today. That man's silhouette was shrouded in the darkness.
Although he was sitting right beside the bonfire and the light of the fire illuminated everyone's faces, this tall and sturdy man, who was wearing an ancient-styled tall hat and a long robe, sat on the ground with his legs crossed, looking as tall and sturdy as an ordinary human being. His silhouette was hazy, covered by a faintly discernible layer of darkness. No matter how hard one tried, he or she couldn't see his face clearly.
Hearing Emperor Shun, this man gave a faint smile and responded, "Strength can't be twisted into a rope. How confident do you think you are in this life-and-death game?"
Emperor Shun's hand trembled and the wine in his bowl swayed. A few drops of wine splashed out and landed on his hand. Remaining silent for quite a while, Emperor Shun responded with a deep voice, "I've already prepared. In the south of Broken Cloud Mountain, in the south of Pu Ban City, a new capital city of the humankind is being built."
"Have you already prepared for the non-humankind to take Chi Ban Mountain and give up on Pu Ban City for good?" asked the man in a low voice.
Emperor Shun lowered his head. Candle Dragon Gui, Si Xi and the other senior ministers, who were sitting beside Emperor Shun, all had dim looks on their faces as they slightly shook their heads. In this life-and-death life-and-death game, the humankind was forced to take part in this life-and-death game by the non-humankind.
Since the non-humankind dared to make such a big bet, even if they didn't have a hundred percent chance of winning, they would at least have a seventy to eighty percent chance of winning.
Once the Chi Ban Mountain fell into the hands of the non-humankind, Pu Ban City would be completely exposed to the non-humankind. If the humankind didn't make preparations as soon as possible and move the elite forces of Pu Ban City to a safer place in the south, once the life-and-death game was over, the humankind would suffer an immeasurable loss.
"So hateful, Pu Ban City, the capital city of the three emperors … If it is lost in my hands … How can I face them again?" Emperor Shun was a bit depressed, picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine.
Tens of zhangs away, Zhu Rong Tianming, who was sent flying away by Man Man with a hammer strike, had been yelling in rage. Along with a large group of guards, he wanted to start a fight with Man Man and Ji Hao. Emperor Shun abruptly stood up and growled in a deep voice, "Before the expedition, anyone who dares to break the discipline of our army will be severely punished!"
Zhu Rong Tianming and his group of henchmen paused simultaneously, then obediently shrunk back into the crowd and dared not to cause any more trouble.
Emperor Shun sat back on the straw mat, scooped a bowl of wine from a large vat, then said with a gloomy look, "A bunch of troublesome kids, all too lively. A life-and-death war is right before us, but they are still scheming against each other … Can't they think about the future of the entire humankind?"
That tall and sturdy silhouette remained motionless, smiled blandly and said, "What are you worried about? So what if Pu Ban City is gone? Back then, when our humankind was at its lowest point, we were nearly wiped out, but didn't we survive till now? How many times stronger are we compared to back then? Some setbacks, what are you afraid of? "
Turning around, the silhouette's face sparkled with a dim light as he stared at Emperor Shun and said, "Chong Hua, you are the current emperor of the humankind. You have to have faith in these kids … Just like back then, when we handed the entire humankind to you, we have faith in you too. And in these years, you have done a good job. "
Emperor Shun raised his bowl and slowly drank up the wine in it. Then, he turned around, looked at a distance away and said in a deep voice, "The non-humankind emissaries are here."
A metal floating city was dragged over by hundreds of flood dragons, seeming to be moving slowly, but in fact, it was moving as fast as a gust of wind. That floating city was enormous. The city wall was around a hundred miles squared, and countless defensive spell symbols had been sparkling on the city wall. In the darkness of the night, the city wall shone brightly like a small sun.
From a long distance away, human warriors in the campsite discovered this floating city.
Large groups of elite human beings stood up one after another, pointing their fingers at that city which was entirely made from metal.
Such an enormous city could actually float in the air, and fly at such a high speed. Such a technology was far beyond the current humankind's reach. It was hard to imagine how many casualties would be caused to human armies if the non-humankind sent a floating city like this into battlefields in the past wars.
The faces of some less courageous human warriors instantly turned a bit pale. From the north, the metal city was getting closer and closer, pressing on their hearts like a giant mountain. As they thought, the humankind was no match for those non-humankind monsters; those non-humankind monsters indeed possessed a great power that the humankind could never compare with!
This city drifted over like a dark cloud. Over ten million human warriors who were participating in the life-and-death game, and the warriors who were going to follow them to the game, had already lost a small half of their confidence and will of fighting, even before they officially stepped into the arena.
Ji Hao stood up as well, staring at this hundred-miles-squared, thousands of meters tall metal city in shock. Inside the city stood twelve divine towers, which were thousands of meters tall.
In the sky of Midland, different sized mountains could often be seen drifting across the sky. However, those were natural wonders. With the current technology of the Magi Palace, they could only make a ten-miles-squared mountain float in the sky for a long time at most.
A hundred-miles-squared metal city, exactly how great was its power to make it fly swiftly in the sky like a bird?
A metal city that possessed such great power, just how much destructive power did it have? How could it be destroyed?
The power possessed by the non-humankind was way too terrifying. Even Ji Hao felt a heavy weight in his heart, and his face turned dark.
The enormous metal city swiftly flew over, floating above the campsite like a dark cloud. Soon, a few Yu Clan nobles flew out of the city, surrounded by large groups of Jia Clan warriors. One of them, who was wearing a long gray robe and had visible space ripples spreading out from his body, laughed proudly and said, "Lowly barbarians, are these the people you are going to join the life-and-death game? Hmm, that's a lot more than the minimum limit of ten million that we set. This is good, we can kill as much as we want. "
"Alright, are you ready to go? We have prepared a teleporting magic formation here to send you up to the sky. "
"You lowly, stupid barbarians, those simple teleporting magic formations of yours can't send you up there. If you fly over by yourselves, that would be too much of a waste of time. "
Emperor Shun and a group of senior ministers rose into the sky, standing in front of those Yu Clan nobles, facing each other.
"Are we leaving? Boys, get ready, it's time! "Emperor Shun gave a resonant growl.
