This building was constructed before the rise and fall of Dark Strip City, and it now serves as the headquarters of the Star Eye Clan on this continent.
Since Dark Strip City is not an important city and is not located on a transportation hub, the various races that usually come here travel by ground vehicles. Besides a few small cargo hubs with mini landing fields, there are no other places for flying vehicles to land.
This building is no exception. So when the Tarros Red Dwarf's flying vehicle landed, the place was not a helipad, but merely the rooftop.
One can imagine the pressure that the top of the building would endure when a flying vehicle lands.
Almost one-third of the roof collapsed directly, rendering the top floor completely unusable. Debris and wreckage fell like rain onto the beautiful square garden surrounding the building, creating deep craters.
"Why not land directly at Cloud Summit Manor?" Jie Luo said with some dissatisfaction, looking at Lord Luoxu, who was in charge of the landing.
Although the distance from Dark Strip City to Cloud Summit Manor was nothing to them, landing over there would clearly allow them to get straight to the point.
Lord Luoxu's face showed a slight grimace.
"We have already determined that the Dark Giant Dragon must have been transported here recently, right?"
The other peak experts nodded. In fact, although it was not absolute, there was about an eighty percent chance that this was the case. Such a powerful being would not likely stay unnoticed in a few Survivor Fortresses for a long time.
"If that's the case, we may be close to the answer. If he is the answer, then Dark Strip City is certainly not innocent," Lord Luoxu explained, and everyone understood. On their way here, they had gathered a lot of information about the relationship between Cloud Summit Manor and the Star Eye Clan in Dark Strip City through their clan's intelligence system.
"They are from the Su Clan anyway. It's no big deal to clean them up casually." Lord Luoxu looked at the people gradually surrounding the building and the flashing waiting connection button on the communication device, saying cruelly, "If the council asks, just say I'm in a bad mood and acted impulsively."
After saying that, Lord Luoxu pressed a few buttons on the flying vehicle's control panel, and the onboard weapon system immediately activated, turning the ship into a porcupine.
Then, hundreds of beams of various colors shot into Dark Strip City, landing all over the city. In a beautiful city, energy clouds erupted in an instant.
The huge explosions and light threw the previously quiet city into chaos and noise, and figures started to appear in the streets, running in all directions.
"Okay, does killing these people give you any sense of achievement?" Jie Luo said as she headed toward the cabin door.
Since Lord Luoxu's failure, Jie Luo had become somewhat cold towards him.
In Jie Luo's view, for a combat-oriented peak expert to allow non-combat-oriented peak companions to be killed was a disgrace.
"Wait a minute."
The leader of the second mechanical legion, Regnayu, suddenly spoke.
Jie Luo stopped and turned back, looking at him in confusion.
"Look." Regnayu raised his chin, and everyone came over to look outside. Although they were high up, they could clearly see the patterns on the flowerbeds in the streets below.
At first, everyone did not notice anything; it was just a city in chaos, right? But just a few seconds later, they understood what Regnayu meant.
"There are... too few people here?" Olaiwo, the leader of the Bashan Legion, spoke up hesitantly, obviously surprised.
"Not only that, look at the direction they are fleeing and... the order." Regnayu continued.
After saying that, without waiting for others to respond, he added, "They were suddenly attacked, yet they are too calm, as if they knew what was going to happen. They are fleeing, but in an orderly fashion, concentrating in six directions."
As he spoke, Regnayu gestured with his hand, marking several directions with a slight pause.
