Chapter 804
In the eyes of separatists, the floating city is not only a symbol of imperial power, but also a weapon for Perficote to control the overall situation.
This huge fortress suspended in the sky is like an invisible eye, always monitoring their every move.
The existence of the floating city makes separatists feel unprecedented oppression and fear.
"The floating city is like a sword hanging over our heads," a separatist leader whispered in a secret meeting. "As long as it is still there, we will never be able to truly escape the control of the empire."
The powerful technology and military power of the floating city make separatists dare not act rashly.
They knew that the floating city could not only monitor their actions in real time, but also launch a devastating blow in an instant.
This invisible deterrence made the separatists be careful in every step of their plan, for fear of angering the suspended beast.
However, the existence of the floating city also inspires deeper hostility among the separatists.
They began to secretly study ways to fight against the floating city, trying to find ways to weaken or even destroy the fortress.
Some extremists even cooperated with the Evil God Sect to try to use the mysterious power to fight against the technological advantages of the Floating City. "We must find the weakness of the floating city," another separatist whispered in the dark, "otherwise, we will never be able to truly gain freedom."
The shadow of the floating city, like an invisible cloud, enveloped the hearts of every separatist.
They knew that as long as the floating city was still there, their dream of independence would never be realized.
Perficot, who is the controller of this floating city, every decision she made may determine their destiny.
In this undercurrent game, the existence of the floating city is both the shield of the empire and the nightmare of the separatists.
Perficot, on this frozen land, must find a way to maintain imperial unity and ensure Langton's survival.
And this road is destined to be full of blood and sacrifice.
As separatist forces continue to expand, Perficote realized that the deterrence of the floating city alone could no longer curb this increasingly severe wave of division.
Extremists in some cities have begun to blatantly destroy the oil pipelines to Langton, and even attack the Imperial patrols.
Believers of the evil god sect were also secretly inciting riots, trying to dismantle the empire's rule from within.
Faced with this situation, Perficote decided to take tougher measures.
She ordered the mobilization of the most elite unit of the empire, the Steam Knights, to go to the areas where separatist forces were most rampant to suppress it.
The Steam Knights are the pinnacle of Imperial Technology. Each knight is equipped with heavy armor powered by steam, which can maintain efficient combat effectiveness in extremely cold environments.
Their main weapons are chainsaw swords and portable recoilless cannons.
The serration of the chainsaw sword rotates at high speed under steam power, which can easily tear the enemy's armor and flesh.
The recoilless cannon can accurately destroy enemy positions at long distances and is an unrivaled killing machine on the battlefield.
"The separatist actions have threatened the existence of the empire," Perficot said to the commander of the Steam Knights at the command center of the floating city. "We must quell this rebellion as fast as possible, otherwise the entire empire will fall into chaos."
The commander of the Steam Knights nodded, his voice coming through the heavy helmet, with a metallic coldness: "Understand, sir. We will let them understand what the price of betraying the empire."
The Steam Knights' actions were swift and decisive.
They first arrived at Blackstone, the most rampant coal city in separatist forces. The city's leaders have publicly declared their separation from the empire and cut off all trade ties with Langton.
When the black shadow of the Steam Knights appeared in the snow and snow, the guards of Black Rock City had no time to react and were shocked by the roar of the recoilless cannon.
"For the unification of the empire!" The commander of the Steam Knights held up the chainsaw sword and issued an order to attack.
The battle broke out in an instant.
The steam knights' armor shone cold in the snow and snow, and their chainsaw swords roared like the whisper of death, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the separatists.
The shells without recoil cannons landed accurately on the enemy's positions, turning the heavy city walls and fortifications into ruins.
The separatists in Blackrock City retreated step by step under the offensive of the Steam Knights.
They tried to fight back with the power of the Evil God Sect, but those mysterious spells seemed pale and powerless in the face of the Steam Knight's technology.
Even though, the leader of Blackstone was captured by the Steam Knights, and the city's flag was re-exchanged with the empire's badge.
However, separatists did not succumb to it.
After learning that Blackstone City fell, leaders of other separatist cities quickly united to form a rebel army composed of believers and extremists in the evil gods.

They used the terrain advantage and spells of the Evil God Sect to try to ambush the Steam Knights in the wind and snow. "We must let Perficote understand that we are not lambs at slaughter," a separatist leader shouted at a rally of the Rebels. "As long as we unite, we will definitely defeat her Steam Knight!"
The resistance army's actions were swift and secret.
They set up many traps on the route of the Steam Knights and used the spells of the Evil God Sect to create a large-scale blizzard in an attempt to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Steam Knights.
Perficot frowned when she learned of the rebels' actions.
She knew that if the Steam Knights fell into a tough battle in the snowstorm, the morale of the separatists would increase greatly and the reunification of the empire would face greater threats. "We must end this battle as soon as possible," Perficot told the commander of the Floating City, "activate the Floating City support system to provide fire cover for the Steam Knights."
Under Perficote's order, the muzzle of the floating city was aimed at the rebels' positions.
With the fire support from the floating city, the Steam Knights quickly broke through the defense line of the rebels.
The chain saw sword split the barrier of the blizzard, and the recoilless cannon turned the enemy's position into ruins.
The followers of the evil god sect in the rebel army tried to cast the last spell, but their power seemed insignificant in the face of the technology of the floating city.
Even though, the leader of the rebel army was captured by the Steam Knights, and the separatist rebellion was completely quelled.
Perficot stood in the command center of the floating city, looking out at the battlefield in the distance.
She knew that although this victory temporarily maintained the unity of the empire, the seeds of separatism were buried deep in this frozen land. "This is just the beginning," Perficote whispered, "the real test is still behind."
She turned to the podium and began to make plans for the next step.
The future of the empire is still full of unknown challenges.
