Extraordinary Mechanical City

Ren's knowledge of this world is still very shallow. After all, he spent most of his time traveling in the past year in the training of the Weasel Phantom Thieves, and had no contact with outside information at all.

No, even if Ymir told him his real name, this guy only thought she was the daughter of a certain noble family, and didn't know that in front of him was the famous eldest princess [Frost Sword Princess] Ymir of the Omar Empire. · Spring Green!

Because I never heard of it.

After all, who cares about the names of the countless royal family members of the emperor's family?

With so much information in his previous life, he might not even remember the name of the sister of the President of the United States of America. For the poor people at the bottom, what the president's seven aunts and eight aunts are called has nothing to do with them.

Because they are people from two worlds at all, and there will be no entanglements in their lives!

Also because he covered his face before, Ren didn't connect her with the mysterious woman in the Hyacinth Tavern back then.

After all, if that was the case, the Omar Empire was determined to eat those guys from the Phantom Thieves Alliance. Even if they were attacked by [White Wolf] Bazel, that woman shouldn't have appeared in Bakkenya Heights alone and seriously injured.

Ren naturally would not have imagined that a dignified eldest princess would almost die because of the political conspiracy within the Spgreen royal family.

Because there is no detailed map, the straight-line distance estimated by Renn in three to five days took eight days.

On the eighth day, they did not find Snow Eagle Fort at the expected location, but encountered a long-distance migration convoy instead.

This is a long trackless steam train, about thirty knots. The carriage is covered with thick armor that is almost completely airtight, like a big black steel centipede in the wasteland.

When the two of Ryan came out of the fog in the wasteland, they happened to meet the train stopping for repairs.

He was just about to ask someone why he should have disappeared from the nearby Snow Eagle Fort, so he walked over.

Seeing this, Ren was also surprised.

There are too many people!

Just look at all the cars of this train are sealed, but there are at least a hundred people sitting on the roof of each car.

It's a bit like the super train of a certain Ah San in Ryan's previous life. Any place on the roof that can be stuffed is full of large and small packages and passengers who secretly climbed on the train.

It stands to reason that this kind of situation would not happen under normal circumstances. After all, without the protection of armor, these people on the roof are completely easy food for the monsters.

This steam train is a bit unusually crowded.

Two strangers suddenly appeared in the mist, which also attracted the attention of the people on the train.

Hey buddy, are you lost?

Hey, there's another chick, take off the mask and show the uncle

Haha, didn't these two guys fight in the field during the journey, and after finishing their work, they found that the train they were on had left?

.

It is indeed rare to see human beings who are not in groups on the wasteland.

After all, without the protection of steam machinery, most human beings would not be able to survive the night on the perilous ice ridge wasteland.

Seeing the two of Ryan approaching, the stowaways on the roof greeted them with vulgar words and whistled.

Especially looking at Ymir, a woman whose figure is still graceful even in loose clothes, the bachelors even whistled and talked eloquently.

It's not that there is much malice, it's just the way the poor in this world always greet each other.

Ren has been in the Phantom Thieves for a long time, and he is used to it.

But he turned his face to look at Ymir at the side, and obviously saw that the corners of her brows were slightly wrinkled, obviously not used to this vulgar way of greeting.

Ren didn't intend to stay longer, and asked loudly to the people on the roof: Um, do you know where the nearby 'Snow Eagle Fort' has gone?

Ah, are you here to find 'Snow Eagle Fort'?

Hearing this, the people on the roof were very surprised, and asked several times: You don't know yet? Where did you come from? You don't know such a big news?

When Ren heard this tone, could it be possible that something major happened during the few days they were walking in the wasteland?

He explained: I'm a doctor. We and my wilderness hunting partner were attacked by wilderness monsters a few days ago and got separated. So, we wanted to go to 'Snow Eagle Fort' to see if they were there.

Sure enough, the identity of a doctor is easy to use anywhere.

After saying this, the people on the roof stopped yelling, and were in awe.

The man responded again: Oh, then you will be disappointed. Because of being recruited by the empire, 'Snow Eagle Castle' set off five days ago to encircle and suppress the rebels.

Another person interjected: Yes! Many of us here are originally 'outsiders' near Burning Steel Fort. They are not qualified to follow the Machinery City, so they can only follow this train to move to other places.

The inner city area of ​​Steam Machinery City is limited, and permanent residents usually need to pay a large sum of money to obtain residence qualifications, which is a bit like buying a house in a previous life and settling down.

The outsiders are generally poor people who cannot afford to enter the city. They usually live in houses at the foot of the walls of the steel castle, and they can be more or less sheltered.

If you move before the battle, you are naturally not qualified to follow the city.

Therefore, the people on the roof of the car are all war refugees, no wonder there are so many people smuggling by car.

'Snow Eagle Fort' is gone?

Ren felt that his luck was not very good, and he was already thinking about where else to go.

On the other hand, Ymir, who was paying attention to the words, took one of the information, and let out a light sigh: Siege the rebels?

Apart from banditry in the empire, where did the rebels come from?

If there are two unknown people, the train will not open the door at all.

After all, if you encounter a spy from the Phantom Thieves, it will bring disaster to the entire team.

But Ryan, a doctor in a white coat, had a friendly halo. Just as they were asking, a thick door of a train opened, and a steward with a red nose and a train uniform stepped out.

The steward is called Red Nose Paul, and he has a position similar to that of a ticket inspector on the train, who manages the last seven cars.

Paul looked at Ren who was wearing a crow gas mask, and asked, You just said... you are a doctor?

Ren didn't dare to trust him, he was not a qualified doctor at this level, so he corrected him: To be precise, I am an apprentice surgeon.

Oh that's great too!

Paul didn't seem to mind much, with a look of excitement on his face: We happen to need a doctor on the train. If you are willing to provide some medical assistance for our compartment, I can provide you two seats in two compartments for free.

The implication is obvious, if you are a fake doctor or can't pay the corresponding medical help, you probably can only endure the cold wind like those stowaways who climbed on the roof of the car.

After all, Ren and Ymir just wanted to find a gathering place for humans, but they didn't plan to take any train to travel far.

Ren didn't rush to agree, and asked again: Mr. Paul, besides 'Snow Eagle Fort', where is the nearest mechanical city?

I'm sorry, Mr. Doctor.

Paul spread his hands and said: Because of the war conscripts, the mechanical city with a radius of several thousand kilometers has been conscripted. If you miss this train from our 'Thorn Bird Chamber of Commerce', you and your friends are walking on the wasteland, probably It would be dangerous.

After a pause, he continued: As you can see, our car has already sold out. If it weren't for you being a distinguished doctor, I wouldn't say this.

When Ren heard his eyelids twitch, he also felt a little troublesome.

If the nearby human cities of thousands of kilometers have gone to war, where should they go?

Perhaps, we can only get on this train and leave?

Thinking of this, Ren turned his head and looked at Ymir next to him, wanting to ask the boss for his opinion.

But at this time, there was something wrong with Ymir's expression, obviously her focus was not here.

She, who never took the initiative to speak all the way, unexpectedly spoke up on a rare occasion, and asked Paul: Can I ask, just now they said that 'Snow Eagle Fort' went to wipe out the rebels, is this true?

The voice was surprisingly pleasant, and Paul was also very surprised.

Although Ymir wore a gas mask and only showed a pair of blue eyes, people could guess that she should have a stunning and beautiful face.

Paul took a look at her and replied: Yes. The imperial capital has issued a notice to the entire empire. The commander of the first army of the empire [Storm General] Baron Askpa has rebelled, and the main war machinery city in the three southern provinces has been ordered Gather to encircle and suppress.

What?!

When Ymir heard this, his tone changed suddenly, and a cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes.

[General Storm] Baron is her most loyal subordinate and the best military commander in the empire. He will never rebel!

Reminiscent of the inexplicably precise ambush she encountered by the vampire prince of the enemy country before, and when she heard the news again, she also faintly guessed what the queen was going to do!

The political situation of the Omar Empire may have changed.

Thanks to the two big rewards of 500 coins from Sheng Yuxue Killing Emperor Huang and Yi Nian Tiger, thank you both~
