"Wolfya, look, what is that?" Dark asked, pointing to the tall building not far away.

Through the windshield stained with a little mottled soil, Dak and Wolfya saw a straight, towering tower building that seemed to grow from the ground.

From the appearance, this is completely different from the "Linta" style of Binglin City and even Xinfeng Town.

Extending his thumb, Dake drew a few simple strokes. According to the distance, the height of the tower should be about 50 meters.

Its exterior is covered with a layer of glass material that is extremely inconsistent with the architectural styles of the federal government, and the reflected part of the sun's brilliance is very dazzling.

The lightning rod installed at the top is about five or six meters long, and every ten floors, there is a ring-like structure similar to a swimming ring locked on the tower. I don’t know whether it is for reinforcement or just as a carefully designed decoration of such a great building that transcends the technology of the times.

In the knowledge and cognitive systems of Dak and Wolfya, steam civilization brings the ultimate steel structure, gray and black industrial winds, plus the rolling smoke and dust generated by fossil fuel energy supply, and the precision, complex and powerful machinery that operates under steam engines and small power equipment.

However, this kind of architecture that seemed very avant-garde only vaguely remembers in the long-standing memories that they should belong to the "future" part of the old empire during its most prosperous and powerful period.

In the middle of the Third Age, some scientists from the Cruzde Empire and Putoya Empire made predictions that the prosperity of steam machinery civilization was the widespread use of electricity, and its end point was the universe stars created by the Creator.

Korov Rurik, a scientist of the "Future Department" of the old empire, once said: "When the races belonging to the earth receive the power of the dragon race to fly, the endless, dark, vast, and mysterious starry sky will become a brand new tactile world."

Shortly afterwards, Dark felt his body floating and rising uncontrollably, and everything around him began to gradually move from light to bright darkness, from warm to comfortable cold.

The sun quickly disappeared from the sky, and the moon and stars gradually expanded in view until everything around was replaced by a dark gray land with a pothole on the surface.

Looking down at this only continent without any ocean, Dake has a sense of novelty that transcends time and space, transcends human technology and eras.

It seems that gods do not exist, the Creator does not exist, and the vast universe is not the product of a certain absolute will, it is just an absolutely mysterious thing that exists here in the universe no matter what.

Gradually, Dark felt his throat being pinched by an invisible plier and could not breathe until...

"We're here." Wolfya's heavy sound as rocky as a sound came into Dark's ears. With the violent shaking, Dark gasped and woke up from his short dream.

"Hu...hu...hu...had it...had it...had it?" Dark asked, covering his chest that was painful, wiping his head with his other hand, tilting his head.

"Here, and I'm sure, it's completely under the jurisdiction of the Federal Council." Wolfya replied in a positive tone:

"I have seen the guy who checked our car when entering the outer city checkpoint just now. He was the captain of the K-199th Brigade of the Koenig Legion. You and I know that under normal circumstances, the troops in southern provinces are not transferred to the north to fight, on the one hand, because there is a lack of manpower everywhere, especially excellent military talents.

"On the one hand, the north and south terrain have great differences in climate, and the scale and ideas of the combat are different. I heard that boy just said that many of their brigades were urgently transferred here, and it is said that they would not go to other provinces to fight for at least five years."

"What does this mean?" Dark asked without turning his head for a moment. He turned his head to look at Wolfya.

After thinking for a few seconds, Wolfya replied:

"On the surface, it is indeed the implementation of the "Construction of Important Federal Positions" plan, which is also related to the military assembly that Moren said. However, the transfer of other provinces, especially the legions of the southern provinces, here either to build the place for certain resources or important tasks, or to cooperate with the capital army to surround the "unintentioned people" who launched many "waves" in the past two years and the several lost organizations behind it, even independent armed forces who disobey the Federation and tried to compete.

"But if there are subsequent legions from other regions, such as those [warriors] from the three regions of the Far East, it can prove that Vasily is trying to make a desperate bet and want to launch a military operation that we are currently unknown but has a great scale and impact."

After listening to Wolfya's analysis, in addition to secretly admiring his information control and active thinking, a sudden ominous premonition arose in Dak's heart and blurted out:

"I feel wrong."

"I don't feel right, either." Wolfya replied unexpectedly:

"But I want to hear what you think first."

Coughed twice, Dake said:

"A desperate military action has never had any good results, at most it will be a miserable victory. Just like the Putoya nobles who were keen on gambling in the Third Era, they put all their chips in a game with a low probability or a 50% winning rate.

"And somehow, I remembered the military operations of the Sunny Empire in the southern part of the Silent Highlands thirty years ago, as if it were called the Battle of 'Silent Advent'."

"Your analysis is not unreasonable." Wolfya nodded:

"At that time, Ivante, the crown prince of the Sunnese Empire, was the 'noble' who had all the bargaining chips in your mouth. In order to attack the main three Lost Churches, he mobilized the army to the decisive battlefield through a series of exciting, brilliant and hidden means.

"And attacked at three points at the same time, and even achieved the perfect cooperation of the Aerospace Army, the ground army and the savages team, completely destroying the foundation of the existence of the three major churches. He even replicated the "Electromagnetic Pulse Rifle" and "Almost Magicless Fire of Heavenly Punishment" that the Federal Council failed to perfectly produce, as well as other small weapons.

"Unfortunately he failed at the last moment. He may know that the divine realm of the god "Daughter of Mechanism" created by the old empire is there, but he is confident that the power of technology can suppress the mystery and extraordinary and overcome everything.

"But I didn't expect the powerful power that the young man called the "Echoer" had after killing the "Daughter of Mechanism".

"Wolfya." Dak interrupted:

"The 'Echoer' I saw in the dream of gray told me about this. He said that he defeated the gods by relying on the 'Dark Touch' inherited by the Red Demon Source Power and killed the Crown Prince Ivant with his own hands.

"I...I never dared to believe this, but today I have to seriously consider its authenticity."

"This is very credible." Wolfya said seriously:

"The manuscript of the 'Hope Church' records this incident in detail. Moreover, the one who actually killed Ivant in the end was not necessarily the 'Echoerer', but was the 'Fire of Heaven' with a pre-set destruction procedure. The official record of the Shrine Empire was that Ivant was afraid of being arrested by the loser after the defeat in the war, so he pre-set to launch the 'Fire of Heaven' when he was threatened with extreme life and died with the enemy.

“But in fact, the manuscript written by Cardinal Clothes of Hope Church mentioned that after the explosion, Evant left a carbonized skeleton, and the ‘Echoer’ might have turned into a dragon, flying north in the darkness of the night.

"It is precisely because of this that I have never doubted the existence of the 'Echoerer', and I can believe that it may exist under some frozen field in the Extreme Cold Special Zone. Well, Dak..." Wolfya patted Dak on the shoulder and continued:

"Just just now, a young man under Moron told me that the Federal Council asked us to live in the high tower you and I just saw for a few days. The tower is indeed a site left by the old empire to do some scientific experiments about the universe, called 'Hongtai'. But it is quite ironic. As soon as the wanted order was lifted, the new order was issued to both of us."

"So, do you have to accept it? New Federal appointment?" Dark was a little confused and looked at Wolfya with a slightly confused look.

A second or two later, Wolfya sighed lightly and replied:

"It's better to accept it, and the same sentence, it's better to use each other than to hostility. To use the Khitanese saying, it's 'huge trees can provide a considerable amount of use to shield the sun and enjoy the cool shadow'."

After driving a "rock sign" car and driving a military road outside Kanosk town for a few minutes, Wolfya and Leit entered a military parking lot with many pickup trucks and mechanical combat vehicles.

After a brief conversation with the surrounding federal [soldiers], the two men who received the special passes walked out of the military parking lot and came to the seemingly deserted and slightly desolate old city of Kanosque.

After all, if you want to reach that tower, the nearest road is to cross the old and new towns.

When the two men with guns and military backpacks entered the old city, they felt that everything around them was no different from the road in the desolate extreme cold zone.

Dust-filled dirt roads, withered trees, low and dilapidated houses, and rare small material sales points.

Walking on the street, apart from the occasional fully armed [warriors] who are patrolling the federal patrol, there are many humans who are worn out, have dull eyes, wandering in the streets like "unintentional people", and occasionally encounter conflicts and fight with each other.

However, when they saw Dak and Wolfya, who were also fully equipped with a standard Cruise-drilled soldier, walked by, they were like small animals seeing a ferocious beast, and their eyes suddenly appeared with fear and ran away tremblingly.

Even the psychics stopped fighting for a short time and retreated aside obediently, for fear of offending the army.

This place is completely opposite to the feeling given by Binglin City, with a deep and scent of chaos and death. Just when the two were about to leave this "dead silent place", they even saw the human beings who fell to the ground due to hunger and could no longer stand, as well as several red remains of skeletons left by wild beasts.
