What the Manbach family didn't know was that from the moment the family's armored formation left the town of Manbach, they had been targeted and became 'prey'.
The wealth accumulated over more than 150 years is not a small sum even if it is located on the border.
What's more, the iron ore mine in Manbach Town has been producing high-grade metal 'Iron-27 element ore' since twenty years ago. Although it is nominally said that 'Iron-27 element ore' 80% of the output will be handed over to the empire. The question is whether it can be produced every year.
No one knows how much iron-27 element ore has been dug.
Before winter, dozens of kilograms of "iron-27 element iron ore" were looted from the Zhenbei Iron Mine, which made people jealous.
Dozens of kilograms of ‘iron-27 element ore’, what the Manbach family claims to the outside world is the output accumulated from the Zhenbei Iron Mine in three years.
In some matters, the empire also has a clear idea. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. The Obsidian Empire has such a large territory and it is a 'lord system'. It wants to completely centralize power so that all the lords have no two minds. Basically, it is
impossible things.
It’s not like no one has thought about ending the lord system. Over the past thousands of years, which huge empire has not emerged from the era of ‘lords’!
There is basically no way to end something that is deeply rooted, unless one is willing to give up the huge territory. The so-called "lord" is actually an act of small countries paying tribute to the overlord country to seek asylum.
The larger the territory, the more places it needs to govern, and often the empire cannot directly rule these areas. It would be a waste to abandon them. If not, it would be too remote and remote, so it can only reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and
The lord can be hereditary. As long as it is not annexed by others, this territory will belong to your family for generations.
"you are back?"
Lan Ling felt a cool breeze under the quilt. She woke up from her sleep and was hugged by a man from behind. Her face felt vaguely hot and she felt a little embarrassed in the darkness.
Li Yin's bald head was tied into the hair on her neck, sniffed, and closed his eyes: "Well, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Lan Ling didn't leave the room all day today, and Xue Niang personally delivered breakfast and dinner.
Even Alma came to visit her with a big belly. No matter what the people in the Iron Armor City thought, whether they wanted it or not, Lan Ling was truly the 'mistress'.
‘Have slept’ and ‘Have not slept’ are somewhat different!
Probably until midnight.
Half asleep and half awake, Li Yinguang suddenly frowned and opened his eyes in the darkness. Lan Ling was sleeping soundly in his arms. It was dozens of degrees below zero outside, but he could not feel the slightest chill under the thick quilt made of soft animal skin.
Someone has 'landed' into the Iron Armored City and has touched the 'control room'. He is an expert, but the guards on duty in the Iron Armored City did not notice it.
Including Sophia, no one felt the other party's appearance!
The second thing that is more shocking and can be said to be terrifying is that the corpse emperor in the treasure chamber...is alive!
Li Yinguang frowned and slowly sat up from the bed.
He looked down at Lan Ling, hesitated for a moment, stood up, put on his clothes, and walked outside quietly.
Creak!
The slight sound of the door opening caused Sophia, who was in the shadows on the wall outside the door, to open her eyes from her practice and look at him with confusion. She didn't know why the city lord opened the door and came out of the bedroom at this time.
"Call Gu Liyan, Xiaoman, Heizi and Saipan to come over!"
Li Yinguang finished speaking softly and walked towards the control room. The masters visiting the castle and the armored city were not too worrying. What he was worried about was the Empress Corpse Emperor in the treasure chamber.
If it wakes up, it may not be able to control it even if it takes up the entire "Castle" armored city.
Ye Mei Diman, after setting foot on the iron armored city of Castle, secretly cursed the 'rabble'. The defense was basically ineffective, and when he walked in with such swagger, these people couldn't even notice him.
The reason why she chose the 'Castle' armored city as the first 'landing' target was because the location of the 'Castle' armored city was at the core of this armored city formation. She didn't know the 'Castle' armored city.
City, I just thought it was a 'transportation' armored city carrying important cargo.
When I got up, I walked around the storage warehouse in the bilge and looked at the equipment configuration, only to realize that I had made a mistake. This was not a 'transportation' armored city at all.
However, it is obviously not Diman's character to come and leave without leaving.
According to the layout of the armored city, Diman soon reached the top floor of the castle and touched the "main control room".
According to Diman’s experience analysis, the ‘treasure room’ of this armored city is most likely to be inside the ‘main control room’!
Moreover, within a very short period of time, the entrance to the 'Secret Treasure Room' was found.
“The machine door lock is pretty good.”
Diman smiled slightly and muttered something softly. However, the mechanical door lock of this difficulty was not a big obstacle to her.
It took about five or six minutes to unlock the mechanical door of the treasure room!
She pushed open and walked in. Looking at the 'small secret room' which was only thirty square meters, her big beautiful eyes lit up because the number of treasures inside was somewhat more than she expected.
"Are these green gems the eyes of the 'Dragon Earthworm King' that Mo Fufeng is looking for?"
"The 'mysterious gem' on the insect king class!"
"The spinal fluid of the hell ghost monster?"
"This broken sword... is actually the 'Sealing Sword' of the Yuxi Giant Clan?"
After wandering around, they came to the 'Empress Corpse Emperor'. Diman frowned and whispered softly: "Why is the aura on this corpse so weird?"
His hand involuntarily touched the Empress Corpse Emperor, feeling the cold skin, frowning and saying to himself: "The body of a dead corpse has skin like ice, but it's strange, how can it be so smooth and elastic? Something is wrong!"
When he raised his head, he happened to see the opened eyes of the Empress Corpse Emperor, their eyes facing each other... Diman was stunned on the spot.
The Empress Corpse Emperor didn't attack her, she just looked at her like this!
Diman came back to his senses, the hair on his back exploded, and cold sweat broke out. He slowly put down his hand, and while backing up, he signaled that he was not looking for trouble, and said with a smile: "I won't take anything away, I will give it to you."
You keep it, close your eyes and continue to sleep, I, the princess, will leave now!"
Li Yinguang stood behind her, listening to the other party's words, and couldn't help but want to smile bitterly. Are you sure this is a master? Not a stupid thief?
"Okay, if you shrink again, you'll hit me."
Diman's attention was basically focused on the Empress Corpse Emperor. There was a sudden sound behind her quilt, as if something sharp had penetrated her tailbone and hit the top of her head. She was almost frightened.
Didn't fly out!
He instantly hid in the corner of the treasure chamber wall!
