It turns out that the so-called Empire Continent, judging from the literature, was not a single piece of iron at the beginning.
They were originally separate.
They were just merged together for some reason.
But now, because of the rift, the originally merged empire continent has been divided again.
History is like a reincarnation, constantly repeating everything that has happened in the past.
But no one expected that even the Empire Continent would evolve along this cycle.
So much so that everyone has ignored the culprit that caused this consequence - the rift.
This is of course because the cracks are not just cracks. Powerful alien species and extraterrestrial demons come to this continent every now and then. No one would care about what is happening to the continent at this time.
More, I still think about how to become stronger so that I can survive better.
Of course, as the ruler of this continent, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, it is not that he has done nothing and allowed things to develop.
In addition to being caught off guard by the sudden onset of the rift at first, the imperial capital and the emperor of the empire still took many countermeasures.
For example, from the beginning of the split, it was announced that the four major regions could decide on their own candidates for governors, in order to make better use of the governors at such critical moments, and to allow the local wealthy families to whom the governors belong to spend their greatest efforts to deal with various emergencies. , events such as the demon army attacking the city are actually common in the four regions, and they are not considered a big event.
Of course, due to the gap in strength, even if there is a preemptive plan, the actual effect is still minimal.
After all, there are only a few top-notch combat forces that can confront the demon army head-on. It would be better if they came to some important big cities.
But if it's in some relatively remote small towns, it's basically a matter of resignation.
That's why the citizens of Iron Stone City looked desperate when they saw the thick black flames outside Iron Stone City.
Although their city lord Liu Shenglong is indeed one of the top experts in the southern district.
But the city lord escaped at that time!
As one of the city-states closest to the rift in the Southern District, the citizens of Iron Stone City would have heard those rumors.
The rumors that no corpses could be left behind wherever they went were widely circulated among the middle and lower class citizens.
Especially when people who saw the black flames went back and vividly described the black flames that surrounded the entire sky, the despair in their hearts grew unconsciously.
Some people tried to escape, but when they packed up their belongings and ran to the streets in a panic, they involuntarily stopped their hurried pace.
Because they suddenly thought of something.
If even the genetic warriors can't escape, then if they just want to escape like this, their chances of surviving are pitifully small, right?
Or is it more likely that even after escaping halfway, you still cannot escape the final fate of death?
This possibility is not impossible, but very high! Very big!
Suddenly, a feeling of despair filled the entire city. During this period, not everyone thought of doing something, but when they saw that even the usually brave genetic warriors were slapped to death in full view of the public.
One can imagine the shock it brought them.
Even such a powerful genetic warrior couldn't resist even one round. It was as simple as swatting a fly to death. What role could ordinary people like them play?
Therefore, every time the devil descends on any city, it is almost always crushed without any suspense. It is said that some people have been to the city invaded by the devil afterwards, and not even a ghost can be seen. The whole city is empty, just like a In the ghost town, not even a body could be found, only blood on the ground, which seemed to tell the story of the horrible things the people in this city had experienced before.
Therefore, when Li Yi repelled the demon army and saved everyone in Tieshi City, one can imagine the gratitude in these people's hearts.
Of course, what happened next was even more unexpected.
No one would have thought that what a person would do after escaping from life-threatening danger is almost unimaginable.
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but nodded.
He had personally experienced this battle. It is impossible to even imagine what the Iron Stone City would have been like without the city lord Liu Shenglong if he had not been there.
But that's not what he cares about now.
His focus is still on whether there is a way to get to the imperial capital.
Li Yi had a feeling.
That is the beginning and answer to everything, perhaps in the imperial capital.
In other words, in the emperor who is closest to the legendary supreme realm.
"Just tell me, since the four major districts and the Imperial Capital are separated, is there any way to get to the Imperial Capital?"
Li Yi waved his hand to stop Liu Yifeng from continuing and asked.
The other party stopped talking, seemed a little embarrassed, and finally nodded vigorously.
"If it doesn't happen, it's definitely impossible. This method is very difficult for ordinary people, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, sir."
When Li Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.
"Oh? Really? Tell me."
Liu Yifeng pondered for a while before speaking word by word.
"Logically speaking, it is impossible to pass, but for so many years, the trade exchanges between the imperial capital and the four major regions have been very frequent, and this was suddenly cut off. If nothing else, the first thing to stop was the merchants. .”
"merchant?"
"Yes, businessman!"
Liu Yifeng seemed to be in a state of mind and talked eloquently.
"You must know that each of the four major regions has its own characteristics, and the regional products can be regarded as unique. For example, our southern region has incomparable climate conditions, and the fruits produced account for the entire empire continent. More than 90%, if the mainland is really cut off, it means that it will be really difficult for people in other areas to eat fresh fruits."
fruit?
This was something Li Yi didn't expect. He looked at the sky. Indeed, although he didn't know what year it was in the mainland, it was indeed hot here in Tieshi City, and the humidity in the air was also very high. According to his knowledge, , indeed most fruits are produced in this hotter climate zone.
It seems that it is true that fruits are produced in the south.
This seems to be just a very trivial thing, but anyone who has been to the sea can know that fruits can provide a large number of trace elements needed by the human body. Without these trace elements, the human body will suffer from various symptoms due to lack of trace elements. symptoms, thereby affecting normal body functions.
From this point of view, if the division of the continent results in people in other areas being unable to eat fruits, it will indeed be a troublesome event.
"So? Those merchants you are talking about? They are not the fruit merchants, are they?"
"Of course not, this is just one example. Over the years, the Empire Continent has formed a complete set of supply chain mitigation. It can be said that the empire is now a whole. The specialties of the four major regions and the convenient supply channels of the imperial capital are all Even if there are some obstacles caused by the emergence of rifts, it cannot stop these businessmen from being determined to overcome the obstacles."
Having said this, Liu Yifeng took something out of his arms and handed it to Li Yi.
Li Yi saw it was a letter.
"This is sent from my relatives in the North District. It is not an extraordinary channel, but a channel that ordinary people can use. It's just that the cost of sending a letter is much more expensive than before. .”
"After talking for a long time, you still haven't said what method you have. How about this? You take me to the divided border. I should be able to understand it at a glance."
Liu Yifeng hesitated for a while, knowing in his heart that words alone were not very convincing, so he simply agreed.
"Then let's go."
After cleaning up for a while, while most people were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, the two quietly left Tieshi City in the darkness of night.
