The capital of Qingtian Kingdom is divided into two parts: "Mante City" and "Qingtian City": the former is located on the ground, and underground is a rich dust crystal mine, focusing on the development of industry. Although the city infrastructure itself is not bad, it is There is a dark, dirty and messy atmosphere; the latter is suspended in the air, using cables and pipes to obtain energy and supplies from the ground. The entire city reflects the results of the combination of money and technology, and the central area is also home to a military command center Functional Qingtian Academy.
This is a cruel place that reflects reality more intuitively than Shelter City. The cables that transport energy to keep Qingtian City high, and the pipelines that transport materials to allow Qingtian City residents to live a comfortable life are simply the physical embodiment of "exploitation."
Of course, Feiton is not a kind-hearted and righteous high school student. He is not touched by the exploitative relationships that exist in civilized society. He just feels that the capital of Qingtian Kingdom is not as beautiful as he imagined. It is probably like a bunch of cow dung underneath a flower. Feel.
——What Feiton couldn't accept was something else.
"What?! A guy who knows the existence of mankind's common enemy chooses to enact a secluded policy and an energy ban at this time?!" After the military airship approached the capital, the communication terminal was finally able to receive the signal, and Feiton opened the browser to read. Current affairs news, learn about General Ironwood's recent actions.
There is no need to explain the policy of seclusion. The energy ban is firstly to prevent dust crystals from falling into the Salem camp, and secondly, it is to use the power of the whole country to build a new communication tower in the Harmony Arena in the shortest possible time.
These two policies directly caused a great impact on the industry and commerce of Qingtian Kingdom. A large number of people stopped working and stopped paying, and protests occurred frequently, but they were forcibly suppressed by General Ironwood's law enforcement forces.
"Let's not discuss the rationality of these two policies for the time being. We don't know the national conditions of Qingtian Kingdom, but~" Dia looked at Winter and said in a sinister way, "How come I remember someone saying that her The immediate boss is planning to build a communication tower in the Harmony Arena, restore global communications, make Salem's existence public, and unite all forces to fight against the enemy? Is this his way of showing unity?"
Winter's expression changed, but he still defended his boss: "Qingtian Kingdom has the most advanced technology and the most powerful army. It is priority to ensure its strength and stability, which is especially important in the great cause of fighting Salem."
Feiton leaned back and looked at Winter in shock: "The 'most powerful army' easily instigated by a piece of software?"
"..." Winter turned his head and said nothing in embarrassment.
In fact, even if there are no software vulnerabilities, the actual combat capabilities of Qingtian Kingdom's military airships and intelligent robot soldiers are far less powerful than they seem. At least any member of the RWBY team is capable of destroying the intelligent robot troops on a military airship.
As for the most powerful intelligent robot in the Qingtian Kingdom, 'Penny', its combat effectiveness is extraordinary, but its research and development costs are high, and the manufacturing process requires the creator to devote energy, so it is not something that can be mass-produced.
"...After all, it's just a lie weaved to hide 'selfishness'." Liz commented.
By the way, the previous sleepy vampires were very narrow-minded and would not have spoken like this. This was the result of the knowledge gained during the awakening stage.
"He talks about uniting all forces. Yesterday he closed the country at the expense of other countries. Today he ignores the livelihood of the residents of Mante City. Tomorrow he sacrifices his subordinates to achieve his own success." Feiton coughed lightly and used his voice-changing technique to perfectly restore Winter's voice. , "The general has the most far-sighted situation and prioritizes maintaining his status and reputation, which is especially important in the great cause of fighting Salem!"
Winter was so angry that he forgot to express his surprise at Feiton's voice-changing skills. He widened his eyes and said, "You don't understand General Ironwood at all!"
"Well, a person needs to have a deep understanding to know his excellence. Doesn't that mean that he is not outstanding enough?" Feiton shook his finger, "And is it possible that the authorities are obsessed with it, and the onlookers can't tell, and your respect for him has become only for fans." Beauty camera, we passers-by saw him without makeup?"
"From his response to the attack on the Werther Festival, we can see that he is an incompetent person." Dia also joined in, "As a general, he will not give correct orders at critical moments. He will panic and say nothing. What nonsense he used. If we hadn't taken action, he would have probably rushed to the front lines to kill the beasts himself, just like a miscellaneous soldier."
"Then I feel good about myself, as if I have made some great contribution." Feiton added another blow.
"You...!" Winter was shaking with anger.
"...It's almost time." Liz stood up and took the initiative to push the wheelchair.
The airship door slowly opened, needless to say, this was the result of Liz's power.
"Wait a minute! Where are you going?!" Winter was shocked and did not bother to refute Feton and others' criticism of General Ironwood. Her mission was to bring Feton and the others back to Qingtian Academy.
"Well~ We came here to take a free flight. We will get off the plane when we arrive at our destination~" Feiton threw the lamp of knowledge to Winter and walked towards the exit, "I'll give you this thing to take back for business. I can't say for sure. It can help General Ironwood improve his IQ."
"This..." Intellectually, Winter believed that it would be safest for the sacred objects to be kept by Feiton and others, but emotionally he still felt that General Ironwood was the most suitable person.
Before jumping off the airship, Dia turned around and left a message: "Do your own thing and stop harassing us, or I'll kill you~"

Wei Si-Xue Ni failed to get the approval of her father. With the help of her butler, she escaped from the Qingtian Kingdom in an airship. She was attacked by flying beasts on the way. After some twists and turns, she fell into the bandit tribe led by Raven. Because of Feiton's threats, the tribe had to abandon evil and embrace good, and Raven sent him to his daughter.
Blake Belladonna returned to the Beast Continent and made known to the world what Adam, the leader of the White Fang War Faction, had done. Although she was counterattacked by the remnants of the War Faction, she finally managed to survive with the help of her family and friends. Temporarily resolve the conflict between orcs and humans, then bid farewell to his family and return to the team.
"...I always feel like I've missed a lot of things." Compared to the truth of history, Blake was more concerned about the fact that on the way from Valley City to Shelter City, his companions encountered multiple attacks, even though Ruby had already said It was very simple, but she still guessed the danger.
"Actually, it's not much." Qiang Yak grinned, as if he wanted to comfort the other person, but he didn't know why he became depressed first, "We just ran for nothing, the most important things have nothing to do with us. The person who provided the information to Dia was Wei Si’s sister, and the person who led Feiton to obtain the sacred object was Yang’s mother.”
"Uh..." Blake didn't know how to answer the question. After all, she had done something important during this period that was related to the fate of the race.
Pila smiled and said: "As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter if we just act as spectators."
After Lei Wen abandoned the secret and turned to the light, Yang Xiaolong, who was in a much better mood, smiled and said: "That is to say, our mission goal has been achieved."
Weiss appeared next to her and asked, "So, what are we going to do next?"
Qiang Yake tried: "...Return to Beacon Academy to report the mission, and then wait for the start of school?"
"..." No one responded, which in itself had already made a statement.
Qiang Yake drooped his head and said: "Then... go to Qingtian City and see if you can help?"
"Well, even we can be useful in some ways!"
"...I also feel that I can't pretend I don't know anything."
"At least, this situation keeps me in the academy now, and I can't calm down and study."
"Haha~ I want to join in the fun in Qingtian City!"
"Nora, this is not a question of whether to join in the fun or not..." m.
The conclusion is not surprising.
Because they are [Hunters].
Some people died, but not completely...
