章 470: A 'Friendly' Welcome

(MC POV)

I looked down at the city below me.

Like Sun's capital city of Jianye, Mei's capital city of Luoyang was just as big.

But unlike the former, this one looks to be built with practicality in mind in the event of war.

The walls were not only tall and thick but they also had various siege engines mounted on top of the turrets spread out around the wall. Where Jianye's walls were white and pristine, Luoyang's walls were black and menacing.

The city's streets were narrower to allow them to be barricaded and the buildings were arranged in such a way that they get taller the closer it gets to the palace. I can tell that it's to allow archers to be stationed at those buildings and allow them to fire down on invaders even if the city was breached.
