    Harbor City was actually located not far away from Hex City Base. It was located southeast of Hex City Base, with its back facing the sea. It was a standard coastline city, and the sea transportation was quite convenient. Furthermore, it was close to Hex City Base and Jin in Base, the sea andnd resources could be said to be quite abundant.


    After Lin Tian and the others packed their luggage, they set off immediately after Liu Hao and the others left. They were going on missions, not sightseeing. They only needed to pack up a few sets of clothes. In addition, Harbor City was rtively close. They arrived at Harbor City in less than a few hours.


    “Harbor City is so beautiful!”


    Bi Linyu and the others saw the panoramic view of Harbor City from the window of the ne. Harbor City was quite big, and there were all kinds of ships docked at the dock. However, Harbor City also had huge city walls, which made it look more like a fortress instead of a city, but Harbor City looked like a fairnd that had been surrounded.


    From the ne, it looked like they hade to a primitive forest. When the nended, there were birds that were frightened and flew up. There were also many flowers and nts on the tarmac. It had a breath-taking view. If it were not for theyers of city walls that were built like a fortress, it would have looked more like a paradise.


    When the ne reached Harbor City, Lin Tian and the others saw it clearly. There were already many routes around Harbor City, leading to Hex City Base and Jin in Base. It even stretched out to all directions, there were countless routes onnd alone, just like a starting point, connecting in all directions.


    “No wonder it became the main transportation route for the two bases. So it’s because of this?”


    Lin Tian was amazed. Hex City Base was the main transportation route for the two bases, and the main transportation route for Jin in Base and Hex City Base. Moreover, Hex City Base could connect to other bases, and with the addition of the sea route, it was basically a transit station for many bases.


    Hex City Base had long given up on the sea route due to the fact that the sea defense line was always in disorder. However, Harbor City could use the sea route, and many bases would use it. This would allow other bases to have more diverse means of transportation. Moreover, under the circumstances where there were manyrge goods, it was not too good to use thend transport. After all, they had to pass through the magical zone on thend, so the sea route was safer.


    Although there were many magical beasts on the sea, the number of magical zones formed on the sea was still very fewpared to onnd. Generally, once a magical zone was formed, it would basically be an empire. For example, the Sea Monster Empire had controlled a huge area of sea.


    “Lin Tian, did you notice that there seem to be fewer tourists here?”


    When Lin Tian and the rest got off the ne, Bi Linyu said in a deep voice. Although she was from a wealthy family, she rarely came to Harbor City. Although Harbor City looked like a paradise, many of the flight points were marked with danger zones. Under normal circumstances, they could not fly.


    Although Bi Linyu was curious, she did not delve into it. In addition, she was still young at that time and did not think too much about it. As time passed, she had forgotten about it. Now that she had arrived at Harbor City, she realized that it was beautiful. However, the pedestrians around were mostly mercenaries. They were either mercenaries or people from the association.


    “Because Harbor City is the closest city to the sea defense line!”


    Zhou Yi knew more. He exined. Lin Tian looked at Zhou Yi. It had to be said that Zhou Yi was really a know-it-all. Basically, he knew a lot about these cities.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian didn’t know much about these things. He only understood what happened in the North City after he went there. However, he understood the situation after taking a look at the mercenary groups and associations around him. There was even a branch of the military district here. He knew that this ce was definitely not simple, now that he heard Zhou Yi’s exnation, he could roughly guess what was going on.


    “But isn’t the sea defense line around Hex City Base the most chaotic? Why is Harbor City the closest to the defense line?”


    Wang Xue didn’t quite understand. After all, if it was Harbor City was the closest to the sea defense line, shouldn’t it be the more chaotic? Shouldn’t all the magical beasts want to fight over it?


    It was close to the back of Hex City Base, and then it was also close to Jin in Base. These two locations were close to each other. In addition, there were so many bases in the surrounding area. If the magical beasts really took over the Harbor City, it would basically be equivalent to taking over the most advantageous strategic area of the two bases. Moreover, the Harbor City and the North City were actually not very far apart. The two major fortress cities were both there, so why was the Harbor City safe and sound.


    “Because the Harbor City has already suffered more than one attack!”


    At this moment, Zhang Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. At this moment, he looked at the city scene, and a sh of reminiscence shed through his eyes. He seemed to have remembered something, but he quickly recovered.


    “Zhang Wei is right. Harbor City has already been attacked many times. However, as Harbor City is a fortress city of many bases, it could receive reinforcements from many bases!”


    Zhou Yi spoke in a deep voice. He had already exined the reason. Just like the North City, there were also many magical zones surrounding the North City. However, it had always been fine. This was because there were many bases that used the North City as a fortress city, hence, if the magical beasts wanted to take down the North City, they would have to suffer the wrath of countless bases.


    However, if they wanted to take down the Hex City Base, it would be different. The Hex City Base itself was arge base. Furthermore, there were not many bases around it. Once therge base fell, the other bases would not be able to send reinforcements. Hence, the Hex City Base was constantly being attacked.


    Hex City Base obviously needed to invest huge effort in its military, butpared to attacking Harbor City, Hex City Base was a much easier ce to invade. In addition, Lin Tian had fought with the magical beast of the Sea Monster Empire before, so he understood. The magical beast of the Sea Monster Empire was quite intelligent, so it could weigh the pros and cons.


    “So that’s how it is!”


    Lin Tian was enlightened. He didn’t expect Harbor City to have such a rtionship. It was closest to the sea defense line. No wonder there were so many mercenary groups, associations, and people from the military zones. This was a great city, and in addition, it was around the sea defense line, there must be a lot of resources and missions. It was simply a muste ce for mercenary groups.


    It was no wonder that such a city existed.


    “Let’s find a ce to stay first!”


    Lin Tian looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time. Everyone discussed that it would be better to find a ce to stay. Although there weren’t many tourists here, the hotel wasn’t bad. Moreover, the price was quite reasonable. Of course, Lin Tian and the rest had more credits than they could use up, so they weren’t worried.


    After they settled down, they quickly fell asleep.
