Steel Chang'an

Chapter 2 Introduction [-] Chang'an in troubled times
Mu Yun came to Chang'an City at sunset.

The majestic bells sounded from a distance, the murmurs of monks walking around the wall and chanting sutras, the sound of patrolling aircraft shuttling in the wind, and the sound of huge mechanical gears turning slowly in the city gate, all intertwined into one. The evening song of Chief Anseong.

Mu Yun stood outside the majestic city gate, watching the huge sun slowly sinking behind the city wall.

The afterglow of the setting sun coated the ancient city wall with a layer of red gold.According to legend, the city wall of Chang'an is made of the keel of a real dragon and poured with the strongest heavy alloy on the Pangu continent. The majestic city wall stretches for thousands of miles, guarding the city like a giant dragon made of steel.

Mu Yun reached out to touch it, and there were still bullet marks and rust on the steel-cast city wall.

A long time ago, Mu Yun heard about the history of this continent.

Chang'an City is the oldest city on this continent.It was the first city established by human ancestors on Pangea, and people named it "Chang'an" to commemorate one of the greatest cities that ever existed on the ancient mother planet of mankind.

The history of the mainland began from the moment Chang'an City was established—with "Jian'an" as the first year, it kicked off.

With Chang'an as the center, countless cities built by humans are scattered on this continent. Cities, large and small, form alliances and become city-states. Wars between city-states have lasted for thousands of years, dividing the territory of the continent into five factions. :

The Chang'an shogunate with Chang'an as its main city is entrenched in the center of the mainland. The person who entered the Daming Palace in Chang'an City is the supreme ruler of the entire continent.Under the rule of the Chang'an Shogunate, the Black Mountain of the Western Continent, Donglin of the Eastern Continent, and Fengchuan of the Southern Continent formed a tripartite confrontation on the Pangu Continent.In contrast to this, the Red Knight Su Mugan, who dominated the pirate forces in the north of the mainland, established the "Northern Iron Alliance" to serve the Chang'an shogunate, balancing the forces of the four parties, and opening the century-long peace and prosperity of the Pangu Continent.

Then, there was civil strife in Chang'an City, and the Daming Palace changed hands.The new lady in charge of the Daming Palace is still young, and the Chang'an shogunate's rule over the mainland for nearly a hundred years has begun to loosen. The forces coveting Chang'an from all sides are about to move, and wars between city-states continue.At the same time, in the desolate northwest desert, an unprecedentedly powerful army appeared.This Liangyue army, known as the "Northwest Canglang", annexed the weaker city-states all the way, expanded its power, and sent troops southward, completely breaking the balance of power on the Pangu Continent.

Chang'an, once the most prosperous and oldest capital on the Pangu Continent, is crumbling in the flames of war.

At this time, the immature female adult in Daming Palace made a decision that no one could have imagined: secretly ordered the Northwest Wolf to station in Chang'an and protect the city according to the order.

The evil wolf stationed outside Chang'an City made the various forces coveting Chang'an not dare to act rashly; and if this evil wolf wanted to enter Chang'an City, it would give the various forces an excuse to encircle and suppress it. Dare to show your claws easily.This delicate situation has allowed the Chang'an shogunate to maintain its dominant position over the Pangu Continent in name.

As for such a delicate move, whether it was made by the young lady in the Daming Palace, or whether someone else in Chang'an City was making the layout, this is something that ordinary people can't know.

Mu Yun naturally wouldn't know either.

He came to Chang'an City only because he heard that there was a knight competition here.Every January, the Knights Tournament is held in Chang'an City, and this year coincides with the birthday of the lady in the Daming Palace, so it will be held extra grandly.
