Zhenie Empire, Tilin Province, capital Zhenetsk, St. Vanya Parliament Building.
It was extremely cold in the imperial capital Zhnetsk in December, especially during this difficult period this year when factories in most cities in the empire were forced to suspend production due to extremely frequent "waves of unintentional people".
The streets of the imperial capital, which is located in a temperate continental climate, have long been covered with white snow. Even on the banks of the Ruin River, the river water with a large specific heat capacity did not regulate the low temperature as in previous years. Instead, it was covered with silver-white armor.
The thick ice has forced the empire's battleships "Odyssey", "Dawn", "Chekavsk" and "Mamous" to stay in the harbor, waiting for the arrival of spring and the time when the ice melts.
Originally, there were white and red apricot flowers near the tall, majestic and magnificent parliament building, as well as carnations that bloomed from time to time on the lawn. However, after their respective glorious seasons, they all withered. Even for more than a hundred years, they all withered.
The "Demon Wind Plum" that had been transported thousands of miles from the south of the Fire Empire and transplanted there all died due to the cold temperature, leaving behind branches that were as bare as devil's claws.
It is around 17:00 in the afternoon. According to the regulations of the imperial capital, during periods of non-war, no matter which department or institution the empire has, it must stop working at this moment and return to a house or underground residence wrapped in a lead shell.
Due to the big explosion that occurred after the dome disappeared in the previous capital city of Socra more than a year ago, the sky of the empire has been filled with gray clouds full of poison for more than a year.
Whenever there is a heavy rain or snowstorm, except for mutated animals, plants, superpowers, lost people and "unintentional people", normal humans, even if they have acquired immunity to the "unintentional person virus", will be affected by the rain and snow as long as they come into contact with the rain and snow.
In an instant, he fell into madness and turned into a monster that lost his mind.
As the empire's ability to control various strongholds suddenly declined, its industrial capabilities and organizational strength collapsed rapidly, and it no longer had the ability to build buildings like the Socratic Dome to resist the gray "cloud of mutation".
The current empire, like an old man in his twilight years, can only look up and wail in the wind and rain in his twilight years, lamenting the difficulty of rebuilding [order] and the ease of its collapse.
Winter, winter, winter, winter...
The bell of St. Zhvanne Church in Zhinetsk struck seventeen times in succession, heralding the arrival of the hour of get off work. As various civilian and military personnel in the parliament drove away quickly, the thunderbolt closest to the parliament building In a matter of minutes, the main street was deserted, and in less than half an hour, Zhnetsk became lifeless and lifeless like an abandoned city lost to "careless people" and the lost.
Da, da, da, da, da, da...
The crisp, rhythmic sound of high-heeled shoes extended from the main entrance hall of the parliament building to the end of the stairs on the first floor, and then ended at the end of the gradually darkened corridor, like the depths of a green forest full of strange thorns.
A woman with a plump figure and graceful figure, with a standard curve like the artist's paintings, appeared in front of the "Secret Archives Room".
After stopping, he tidied up the slightly compact military green imperial female army uniform, and handed the "Capital Military Membership Card" to the heavily armed guard with a slightly tired look.
Accompanied by a heavy "squeak" sound, she walked into the door alone.
Sitting on the leather sofa, the woman waited for a few minutes before another man wearing a military uniform appeared in front of her as promised.
"Ms. Melinal, no, I should call you General Melinal. I'm sorry that you, a general of the second level of the Dark Star, are waiting for me, a little person of the first level of the Dark Star." The man bowed,
Apologize in a gentle tone.
"That report..." Melinaer ignored the slightly hypocritical man in front of her, and dragged her chin as she said:
"The last two small parts should be missing. I don't know how to perfect them. It just so happens, Kaia, you are Kaiwukski's younger brother, and you also led the 'Storm Legion' to participate in the undefeated 'The Coming of Silence'
'Battle, you should know more details."
"Of course, Ms. Melinal." The man named Kaia nodded and said:
"Except for not witnessing the death of the 'Undertaker' Crown Prince Yin Fante, I have basically participated in the rest of the battles. It's just a pity that my brother is too obsessed with power. In order to become the marshal of the empire with real power,
He deliberately concealed my identity, and even because he was afraid of my strength and talent, he did not let the higher-ups in the empire know my name for more than ten years. So, it was not until last month that I was able to speak to Leto who had just succeeded to the throne.
With the appreciation of His Majesty II, I entered the Imperial Strategic Corps."
"It's a pity for you, General Melinaer. During your 'three years of sleeping', you had an unforgettable love with that bastard crown prince, but he failed to fulfill his promise to marry you and become the empress of the empire. Just.
Because you were once a lost person, it was not until the Church of Hope openly surrendered to the empire that you were able to be transferred to the capital city to serve as the deputy director of the strategic group."
"Kaia." Melinaer made a deep voice unique to mature women and said very displeasedly:
"It is an unfriendly act to expose someone's scars. If you want to taste my little baby Seye's 'Dragon Flame', you can continue the topic just now."
"By the way, speaking of Seyer... How is the investigation of the whereabouts of [Deceiver] Dylan, the 'great hero' who hatched him? How is your capital military station's investigation? I heard that they are looking for his old mechanical friend Luo
Hey, he escaped alone from the magic shield of the fortress and went to the yellow sand in the center of the Silent Highlands. It has been more than a year, and the imperial army has almost flattened the Silent Highlands, and they haven't found him yet?"
"I'm sorry, General Melinaer. Until yesterday, we tried to send a team into the Silent Highlands to search. The telegram they sent this morning was as usual, but nothing was found. As for the mechanical body, there is news that he went south to the old town.
He met his master Bude once in the ruins of Kofu City, and then people saw it in the ruins of Migov Town, Chekavsk and Zollin City."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But I heard from the governors of the two big cities that people who have seen that appearance don't think he has the feeling of a mechanical body, but rather like a living human being, so they
I’m not sure of that person’s true identity either. General Melinal, do you believe there are anecdotes about machines turning into humans?”
"Of course I believe it." Melinaer nodded slightly and said:
"After the arrival of Xinyuan, all the previous myths and legends are gradually being confirmed. Even the god 'Daughter of Mechanical Yuan' in the data is said to have seen her scattered body. However, if you find Luo Nie, you should be able to find it.
Dylan, unless he has already been submerged in the endless yellow sand and gone to meet the Lord."
"General Merlinal, having said that, in the report you made called "The Last Order Before the Collapse of the Empire," regarding the last two paragraphs of the Battle of Silent Highlands, I think the most difficult ones were Yin Fante and me.
The death of my brother Kaiwukski. At that time, all the landing points of the air force were some distance away from Yin Fant and the others. It was not until the 'Fire of Heaven's Punishment' fell that they learned about the accident that happened near the Lake of Silence." Kai
Seeing Melinaer's expression becoming a little disappointed, Ya quickly changed the topic to the right track.
"Yes, those who were close were basically not engulfed by the flames and turned into charcoal. People in the distance did not see the scene. However, I heard from the Air Force escort team directly under Yin Fante that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to take advantage of the situation.
As the war was coming to an end, I rushed into the yellow sand to find the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element'. After all, a middle-grade simon from the Hope Church noticed the abnormal movement of the magic source power in the center of the highland the day before Yin Fante was killed, and hurriedly reported it to me.
I told him again."
"It's a pity that my memory hadn't been fully restored at that time, otherwise, I really should have gone with Yin Fante." Melinaer sighed, turned her head to the side, and subconsciously looked at Hou Chuang
Beyond the glass, gray snow lays on the path in the Parliament House courtyard.

"The lives lost can never be restored. Our sighs are ultimately to make up for the regrets in our hearts. However, Miss Melinaer, we should look forward. Although I have no good impression of Yin Fante himself, I admire him for his courage in
The courage to reconstruct [order] at an inappropriate time." Kaia comforted:
"He mobilized a mere 50,000 troops and more than 5,000 Sucra legionnaires who almost rebelled. He eliminated two of the three most important churches of the lost in the empire and forced the Church of Hope to surrender. This is unprecedented for any empire.
A feat that no monarch has ever accomplished. His 'Old Technology Research Team' is still working hard to decipher the technology left behind by Crusted. Although we have been defeated, relying on the 'Electromagnetic Pulse Rifle', 'Krud
The German Air and Space Force', at least, managed to hold on to its basic base and prevent it from completely collapsing."
