Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The city is centered on the pharaoh's tomb, expanding outwards in concentric rings, like a target.

The outer layer is a wall of undead built from solidified gravel and bones, covered with dark runes, and topped with lookout posts and various defensive weapons.

The inner layer is clearly divided into three major functional areas, each with its own function and supporting each other: the core area of ​​the mausoleum, the defensive structure area, and the undead soldier area. In addition, there are a large number of key buildings, each with its own function. For example, four bone spirit obelisks stand at the four city gates, covered with obscure undead runes, maintaining the ancient city's revitalizing energy.

As the name suggests, the mausoleum area is where the pharaohs slept, and it is also the most heavily guarded area.

The Construct Defense Zone is where constructs like the Sphinx are built. In the center is a large altar with a crystal core burning with green flames floating on it, beating like a heart.

Unlike other factions, the military district was quite quiet, with rows of skeletons hanging on racks like clothes, to be taken down when needed...

Four Bone Soul Obelisks stand beside the four city gates, each dozens of stories high. These obelisks are actually the city's energy source; without them, Nahe City would sink back into the sea of ​​sand in no time.

Other buildings will not be discussed in detail...

As for the city's residents—well, if you only look at their clothes, they seem no different from those in Ottaway. Some wear robes, some wear armor, some wear the kind of gold vests merchants wear, and there are even a few dressed in aristocratic formal attire; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were having a party.

But if you get close, the stench of an old corpse can knock you over.

Most of the inhabitants had grayish-brown skin that clung tightly to their bones, like dried bacon. Their eyeballs had long since shrunk, leaving only two dark holes. Their lips were turned up, revealing yellowed, blackened, and cracked teeth inside.

But they moved quite nimbly, pushing carts, setting up stalls, and standing at the door soliciting customers—they did it all, as if even the dead had to live their lives.

The city's patrols were mainly composed of shroud knights and dark knights, riding dry corpse horses or nightmare beasts. They were fully armored and looked quite imposing.

In addition, there are many constructs, skeletal servants, and undead archers standing guard in front of various buildings. Of course, there are also a large number of undead creatures made of skeletons, among which the most eye-catching is the bone dragon.

Those big guys huddled in their designated activity area, lying like big dogs with their chins resting on their front paws, and eerie green flames flickering in their eye sockets. No one dared to approach them casually.

The strongest fighting force in the city is naturally the six avatars of the Beast God.

The Dog God, Crocodile God, Ox God, Snake God, Scorpion God, and Sheep God are all eternal-level warriors, and the Pharaoh left them here to guard the main city.

As for the other six beast god avatars, apart from the Eagle God who is currently fighting in the Gobi Desert, the other five are all presiding over rituals in hidden corners of the Naraku Realm to awaken the Pharaoh from his other underground cities.

At that very moment, the sky above Nahe City was shattered.

The scene was like someone smashing a piece of glass with a hammer; cracks burst outwards from the center, spreading densely across the entire sky. Blinding blue light surged from the cracks, and then the floating city emerged from the fissures, rising upwards.

The inverted mountain peaks slowly emerged from the void, hovering above Nahe City like Mount Tai pressing down, less than 800 meters away from the tallest building.

Looking up from the city, its shadow completely blocked out the sun, turning the entire city of the dead from daytime into dusk. The surroundings suddenly darkened, with only the engine nozzles at the bottom of the floating city still burning and providing a blinding light.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" An alarm immediately sounded.

Nakhon truly lives up to its reputation as the Pharaoh's capital city; its design is impeccable.

No matter if you come from the sky, crawl from the ground, or come from the east, west, south, or north, it will arrange everything for you clearly.

So it's not surprising that the city has anti-air defenses. Not only that, the massive black bats and bone dragons also took to the air immediately—the giant bats poured out of their nests in the city, a dark mass that blotted out the sky, like thick smoke billowing from chimneys; the bone dragons also rose one by one from the ruins, shaking off the sand and broken bones, spreading their tattered bone wings, letting out a silent roar to the sky, and then leaping into the air.

A necromancer in a long robe was startled. The old man, whose body was hidden in some coffin, immediately raised his staff as soon as he sensed something was wrong. He mumbled a string of incomprehensible incantations, and a dark purple light shone from the tip of his staff.

But in reality, the first to react when the floating city emerged from the void rift was not the defending troops, but the city walls.

Within the cracks of those dry mud bricks, the dark runes shrank suddenly as if scalded by boiling water, then exploded with a crack. Dark purple light surged out from every crack, rushing along the outline of the city wall, just like a short circuit in an electrical wire, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a semi-transparent shield above the city.

The shield looked quite eerie. Its surface wasn't smooth like a typical soap bubble; instead, it was covered with countless distorted faces, their mouths opening and closing as if cursing, but without making a sound—a silent scream that sent chills down your spine.

The automatic crossbows on the arrow towers all turned simultaneously, operating on their own without any undead intervention. The sound of taut bowstrings rang out in rapid succession, a dense, continuous clicking.

Then came the volley of arrows.

Bone spears, poisoned arrows, and stone projectiles burning with ghostly fire—were hurled at the floating city from all four walls.

The Bone Soul Obelisk also lit up.

Four obelisks stand inside the four city gates, their bodies covered with writhing, snake-like runes that seem to crawl upwards.

Dark purple energy shot out from the top of the monument, weaving into a net inside the shield. The net grew denser and brighter, eventually transforming into a thick energy pillar that shot into the sky from the core area of ​​the mausoleum in the center of the city, heading straight for the largest engine beneath the floating city.

The gates of the Necropolis were opened, and several strangely shaped necromancer weapons were pushed out, beginning to fire slow-moving, gray energy orbs into the sky.

Although this thing may not seem threatening, it is actually the biggest weapon!

Because this is the Death Sphere! A god-slaying weapon!

The orbs launched by this thing are not intended to attack the floating city, but rather to lay down "floating mines" above Nahe City!
