Chapter 2225: Chapter 2225: A City Has Taken to the Skies
In order to build these cities, a certain amount of space is first required. To achieve this, Du You will directly transform certain cities. Once these cities start flying, the remaining open ground can be used as construction sites for new cities.
Due to the city’s construction, the foreign war seems to have slowed down.
However, many people have not realized that the speed of conquering the Outer World has actually increased compared to before.
After all, the affected ones are mere ordinary people, and Du You’s doppelgangers are not affected. Except for a portion with special duties, others are all trying their best to enhance their strength and seize the Outer World.
A city is being transformed bit by bit, the foundation strengthened, and buildings that are not sturdy enough are all torn down. The city streets are re-planned, various buildings are also reinforced, with special changes made to the surface.
Some have special magic runes or magic arrays added, making them robust, while some walls are transformed directly into alloys. Overall, it’s an eclectic blend of magic and technology, imparting a strange sensation. Even the native world residents accustomed to this mixed style feel very peculiar.
After a period of transformation, the city is considered completed.
As the first Floating City, Du You certainly comes to witness it in person. Together with the two sisters, concealed in mid-air, unnoticed by anyone. Xiaobai isn’t here at the moment as Xiaobai is already in another world enhancing itself.
"Finally completed, I wonder how effective it is?"
"It shouldn’t be too bad; mainly, the defense needs to be strengthened. After all, something like a Floating City finds it easy to face enemy attacks."
This is indeed a problem; the Rebellion Alliance often resembles terrorists, randomly attacking city residents without any clear agenda.
A bunch of brainless fools, don’t they know their actions only breed disgust among the populace, which will lead the world’s consciousness to loathe them too? When the world’s judgment comes, they’ll pay dearly for their ignorance.
But many fail to realize this, just like the previous nine-tier world they controlled. Only when the world’s consciousness punishes them will they realize their mistakes.
Du You is under no obligation to remind these people, now preparing for the next city to ascend.
"Don’t worry; for now, we’ll use our fleet for protection. Once the weapon system is complete, our Mid-airCity will transform into space fortresses." Du You isn’t too concerned.
Lin Yushi suddenly said, "If it’s space fortresses, why not build some space fortresses in the outer Void. These could also count as cities that orbit the world, thereby covering the world’s surface essentially."
Du You froze momentarily, then nodded: "Good idea, I almost forgot about the outer Void."
Du You wasn’t worried, his fleet’s power is incomparable to theirs. Those alliances, even united, are a scattered mess, let alone their inherent lesser strength."
Du You’s most powerful fleet has always been kept hidden.
"Ascend now." Suddenly, Du You received the preparation completion message and promptly issued the command to ascend.
The whole city started to tremble; despite earlier notifications, many ordinary people appeared panic-stricken, shouting around and fleeing mindlessly. However, the streets had long been guarded by security teams.
Not only them, many mechanical guards also patrolled back and forth.
If anyone dares wreck havoc, they will kill without hesitation. Ultimately, the turmoil inside the city wasn’t significant. Only a few deliberately destructive individuals were wiped out, suspected to have been sent by hostile cities. With a larger territory, it’s impossible to prevent spies from infiltrating.
The city’s shaking began subsiding, everyone noticed the ground becoming lower, or rather, they were rising higher. At this point, they were less worried and started curiously observing the surroundings.
Although everyone had flying experience, very few had felt the entire city flying up.
From afar, people in other cities were watching too. This marks a huge leap forward; in the future, they might also live in a Floating City, prompting various media to start reporting.
Further away, some less informed alliance cities were bewildered.
"Oh my, what’s that massive thing?" Someone noticed the sky darkening, initially thinking it was clouds, but later realized it was actually a structured giant object.
"No way, it looks like a city."
"That is indeed a city, Icewater City; I’ve been there before. Look at the emblem above that gate, it’s that one."
"No way, a city flew up; am I dreaming?"
At this moment, an elderly person emerged: "Heard days ago that the opposite side had a flying city plan. I didn’t believe it originally. It’s unbelievable to transform a city into a flying city." The elder’s eyes flashed with thread of worry.
He worries for his city, his guild’s fate, also for his own fate.
Possessing a bit of strength, he holds a status, knowing more than ordinary people.
People quickly gathered around, eager to learn more details. A city flying is rare, even in the Outer World; this occurrence on the native world is unprecedented.
Many realized this might be a tremendous opportunity.
What kind of opportunity, they hadn’t thought through yet, but undoubtedly a good opportunity. Other cities were the same; many discovered the Floating City. This target is too massive, rendering concealment impossible.
Through the now seamless information network, news of the Floating City quickly spread to major cities. Anyone with a certain status is aware of its emergence.
Subsequently, countless people began rushing towards the Floating City, alliance cities faced again the problem of declining population.
Unable to do much, they attempted interception by spreading rumors, slandering, followed by attack plans. Basically, these were their available methods.
In outer space, a massive fleet was gathering; their target was to shoot down the newborn Floating City.
