Outside the Red Dragon Duke's royal city "Monster City", there are city ruins stretching for dozens of kilometers. The two places are only a hundred kilometers apart, but they are heaven and hell.
Before the catastrophe, this city was a supporting industrial city for the Lizard City, responsible for supplying power to the Lizard City and producing various daily necessities. At that time, the Maris family had not yet awakened their psychic powers and did not know what the realm was. Naturally, the iconic red dragon "Novasad" did not exist.
At that time, Monitor City was still called "Great Northern City", and its name was consistent with the Maris family's aesthetic standards - simple and rough.
Hundreds of years later, Great Northern City was rebuilt into Lizard City through the efforts of several generations of Maris, but this supporting city was abandoned because of the difficulty of cleaning up the garbage. The most indispensable thing in the wilderness is open space, so why work so hard to remove collapsed buildings?
As a result, this area has become a habitat for mutant creatures, and passing traders and travelers will take a detour. But since the Beiqiao Regiment came here to establish a post town, people began to like to walk here.
As the fifth largest mercenary regiment in the principality, the North Bridge Regiment has strong strength and even has a branch of the Sisters of Steel. With faith as the support, virtue is guaranteed. As long as you abide by the laws, you'll be safe here.
Under night, the lights in Beiqiao Town are brightly lit. It is lined with bars, restaurants, shops, and night market stalls. Businessmen came and went and it was very lively. Since the nearby merchants are concentrated here, the surrounding inns are sparsely populated and deserted.
However, they still have some room for survival, because Beiqiao Town does not accept wandering orioles. Wherever there are no wandering warblers, there will be no mercenaries. He licks blood from his knife every day, and his life and death are uncertain. How can he survive with just wine and no women?
The core of the Northbridge regiment is the chapter of the Sisters of Steel. The Iron Sisters advocate asceticism, somewhat similar to the monastic nuns of Eastern Neo-Zen Buddhism and the fighting nuns of the Holy Light Church. Although there are some differences between the three, one thing is the same, that is, "unclean people" such as Liu Ying, Cowherd, and Futa are not allowed in their place.
The main castle of Beiqiao Town is located in the very center of the town. This architectural style was formed after the catastrophe to prevent the invasion of mutated creatures.
The main castle consists of a restored six-story building and a circular castle. The city wall is tall and majestic.
At this time, the main hall of the castle was brightly lit with candles. There is a red carpet in the middle and solid wood dining tables hundreds of meters long on both sides.
The table top is thick and heavy, formed in one piece, using the trunk of an ancient tree in the abyss. A single board is hundreds of meters long. It must be hoisted by an aeroboat before the castle is built, otherwise it cannot be transported.
Female warriors wearing bright silver armor sat on both sides of the dining table, their shiny armor reflecting the candlelight and shining brightly. They wore iron-faced helmets, with only two eyes exposed. There were three white swan feathers stuck on both sides of the helmet. This is modeled after the helmet of the mythical Valkyrie, and is called a "feather-covered helmet."
At the end of the long table is a high platform, with a dining table more than ten meters long placed across the high platform. There was no one sitting on the side facing the door, but three women sat on the side facing inward. An old woman sat in the middle, holding a long cigarette rod in her hand and puffing away smoke. The woman on the left is slender, capable and heroic, while the woman on the right is tall, fit, plump and graceful.
Sitting in this hall at the moment is the core group of the North Bridge Regiment - the North Bridge Branch of the Steel Sisters.
The Iron Sisters are a group with a focus on combat, uniformly wearing heavy armor and clad iron helmets. According to the tradition of the Iron Sisters, they cannot show their true faces in front of outsiders, and they must wear masks even when they are not wearing iron helmets.
They give up their gender as women and become "asexual". Some fanatics will also remove the corresponding organs through surgery, but because it affects the body's endocrine, this is not advocated in the society.
The few sitting in the front row of the long tables on both sides have flat chests and strong muscles. They are obviously enthusiasts who have undergone similar surgeries. But in fact, medicine in this world is very advanced, and it is not difficult to recover.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The old woman took out a puff of smoke leisurely and tapped the table with the pipe of her cigarette, "It's time to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of armor being removed. The female warriors took off their armor, took off their helmets, and put them in the closet behind them. Then they loosened their long braids and unbuttoned the top buttons of their collars. The atmosphere became relaxed, and the women whispered and joked with each other while eating dinner and drinking red wine.
The tall woman took off her helmet, revealing her beautiful face. It must be said that her appearance was very enviable, and she instantly overshadowed all the women in the room. It is a woman's nature to love beauty. Even if she vows not to marry the opposite sex for the rest of her life, she still cares about her appearance.
"Oh, my sister is so beautiful, even I feel moved when I look at her. Joining our sisterhood will be a loss for all the men in the continent~" Xiang Caidi said with a smile.
Ye Yang Bailiu rolled his eyes at her, "Smelly girl, you are teasing me about this matter again. You are absolutely boring."
"I don't have a man waiting for me, so I'm not bored~" Xiang Caidi's eyebrows curved into crescents, and she smiled even brighter.
"Slutty hooves." Ye Yang Bai Liu gritted his teeth and cursed.
"I'm Xiao Xingxing, woo woo woo, wife, why don't you want me anymore, hee hee hee..." Xiang Caidi pretended to be aggrieved and cried, looking very disgusting. Yeyang Bailiu's face turned red, and he raised his hand as if to strike.
"Tap-tat-tat..." Hua Beidou tapped the cigarette stick on the table, "Hey, hey, are there any rules anymore?"
The two women immediately stopped fighting, returned to their ladylike appearance, returned to their positions, and sat down properly. Dignified, virtuous, elegant and decent.
"This left-hand plane is really big, and it hasn't been fully developed yet." During the dinner, Xiang Caidi chatted about the development progress of World Fragments.
During this period, Ye Yang and Bailiu were studying the traditions and rules of the Iron Sisters and did not participate in the exploration work.
"How many do you think there are left?" Hua Beidou asked.
"Sixty to seventy percent, maybe more, because we haven't reached the edge of the fragments in a straight line." Xiang Caidi said.
"So big!" Ye Yang Bailiu was surprised. The development time has been almost a year, and it is less than one third.
"I estimate that the gold in it is enough to rebuild half of Crow City." Xiang Caidi said after taking a bite of beef.
"That's great..." Hua Beidou knocked on the table and looked at Ye Yang Bailiu, "What is our current industry ranking?"
"The 82nd Ambergris River, the 407th in the world, fluctuates between one and two places." Ye Yang Bailiu replied.
"We have money, but strength is not enough..." Hua Beidou muttered, then looked around and said, "You two should think more about your own cultivation and open up the earth. A whole new world is waiting for you."
"Yes!" the two women said in unison.
