Steel Eagle City once again took to the skies, its Feather Towers unfolding, reaching above the clouds in an instant.
At first, Wu Hen was curious, since Steel Eagle City could restart to the clear blue sky, why didn't it fly to farther lands to prey on other towns, which could at least avoid ambushes from Grand Canyon City.
But after seeing several of Steel Eagle City's hunting processes, Wu Hen understood that even a Steel Eagle City would find it not so easy to swallow up smaller towns.
Scouting and intelligence were of great importance.
In Steel Eagle City, there was a department whose members, disguised as wandering merchants, would investigate the town's resources and the capabilities of its special engines while trading in the marketplaces.
It could be said that without sufficient preparation, even a formidable living city like Steel Eagle City could easily fail in hunting, and the energy expended in a failure would require even more effort to replenish.
