Chapter 2257: The reaction of the imperial capital (2/2)

In the past five hundred years alone, the population of the imperial capital has skyrocketed tenfold. In order to maintain more and more complex, chaotic and complex rule, the number of bureaucracies and offices stationed in the imperial capital from the outside world, It is ten times faster than the population boom. The resources of the extreme heavens alone are simply not enough to support such a huge population and the daily consumption of so many immortal cultivators. The ecological chain is on the verge of collapse every year. Relying on blood transfusions from the nearby world.

When the official statistics of the total population of the Extreme Heaven Realm exceeded 80 billion, residents of the outside world were strictly prohibited from moving into the imperial capital at will.

But the imperial capital has always been the place where hopes and dreams are. No matter how it is banned, it can't stop those poor but ambitious poor boys from swarming.

At present, the total population of the imperial capital according to the official statistics of the empire is 120 billion, but many demographers and economists estimate that it is at least 200 billion. The vast majority of black households dormant like ants in the depths of thousands of meters. At the bottom of the cracks, even if God gave the authorities statisticians with 10,000 levels of transformation, they would never be able to figure out the true population.

With such a large population, the resource supply chain of Jitianjie and Tianjixing has become extremely fragile. As long as the external world stops blood transfusion for one day, it will cause riots in the imperial capital; if the external world does not have blood transfusion for three days, the imperial capital may completely collapse.

When the population exceeds the critical point, it will also trigger a powerful chaotic effect, giving birth to many lawless gray and even dark areas-although only tens of thousands of meters away from the empire’s nominally supreme ruling institution, the bottom of the ground fissures, However, even the cultivators of Yuan Ying and the transformation of the gods are not willing to touch easily. Where the mist is, countless people are on the most glorious and sacred planet of the empire, following the law of obscurity. People are not humans and ghosts. Live without ghosts.

Perhaps this is exactly what the four major electoral families hope to see.

Maintaining a too strong imperial capital is not very good for them. The bloated, weak and filthy imperial capital like this is the paradise for adventurers, the stage for careerists, and the dining table for them to carve up the sea of ​​stars!

It's a pity that now a new force has emerged, wanting to break into this paradise, trample on this stage, and smash this dining table!

Lei Chenghu escaped from the Shenwei prison, and also took away a large number of political prisoners and the entire Shenwei fleet, which reached the ears of the Gonggon princes of the Imperial Capital and the Senate two days ago.

What's more terrifying than Lei Chenghu's escape from Shenwei Prison is-on what basis did he escape, and with the help of what power?

And what did this force want to help Lei Chenghu escape?

This question is like a poisoned dagger, gently cutting through the throats of the elders.

However, the elders knew that Lei Chenghu had returned to the third theater, but they had little choice with him.

Lei Chenghu is a well-known defense expert in the empire. For nearly a hundred years of defense against the black wind front, the Saint League army dare not cross the thunder pool.

The third theater is the top priority of the front line. It was Lei Chenghu's exhaustion of his life's efforts and countless resources sent from the rear to build a bronze wall, an iron wall, a sea of ​​swords, a sea of ​​fire, and a tiger's lair in Longtan.

Even if the four major electors’ families now mobilize all their forces to attack the third theater, they may not be able to eliminate the Thunder Fleet in a short time, and doing so is tantamount to setting off a full-scale civil war in the empire. Any one of the four major electors’ families, It's hard to do this.

What's more, Lei Chenghu is destined not to wait foolishly for them to attack in the third theater.

Fleet is not a planet. It comes and goes without a trace. It can stray between the stars and the sea. Unless the opponent wants to search for a fleet in the vast sea of ​​stars for a decisive battle, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!

This is the situation now.

Before the Senate could respond, Lei Chenghu had cut off all communications between the third theater and the outside world, and of course, closed all the starry sky gates in the third theater.

The third theater has become a dark, unfathomable misty world.

In the Senate, spitting and red-faced quarrelling for a long time, no one's fleet was willing to jump in and die first.

We can only cut off all channels for the outside world to send supplies to the third theater, hoping to trap Lei Chenghu to death or force him to negotiate.

But no matter how stupid people can see, Lei Chenghu will never wait to die. The resources he has on hand are enough to launch an earth-shattering suicide attack!
