Chapter 536: Minos

Of course, the people who know human beings best belong to human beings, and Zhang Chao knows very well how those majestic cities in history fell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Shanhai Pass was not broken for many years, but it was opened by Wu Sangui, the general soldier, and since then the Qing army has entered the pass, and it has been out of control; the two cities of Xiangfan are dependent on each other, and the terrain is dangerous, but the result is ruined by the stupid decision of Lu Wende, a fool; the city of Samarkand in Khorezm is built on a mountain and is impregnable, but in the end it was not broken by the Mongols, but was surrendered by the defenders of the city, Togaihan, and a dignitary.

Zhang Chao instinctively had a disdain for the city wall: "I once heard a king named Theodotus say that the strongest city wall is never made of stones, but is made up of soldiers who are full of faith and will to fight. ”

"The earth is dead, people are alive, as long as you have the will to fight, even if this city really falls, there is still a possibility of retaking it in the future, but if you don't even have the will to fight, even if it is Xiongguan Mandao, the enemy can break it without much effort. ”

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to study human civilization so deeply. Senmut was a little unimpressed, in his opinion, as long as the strength is strong, it is to directly crush the past, and the so-called will to fight is just something that the weak can rely on.

But he didn't dare to argue with Zhang Chao with their courage, Zhang Chao's coercion of imprisonment had already scared him out of his courage at first, and he was sure that in just one round, he would be 100% buried in the hands of this humanoid dragon.

As if seeing through the fear in Senmut's eyes, Zhang Chao sneered, if the initial insult could make him draw his sword and fight with Zhang Chao, even if he was defeated, he would not kill him, but would respect him instead of being full of contempt for him like now.

Even if this kind of person becomes an epic, in his eyes it is no different from ordinary gold.

"Huh...... You are all afraid of dragons, but they kill less than one percent of the humans you kill when you attack each other, and I can't see why you are so afraid of dragons more than war. ”

Zhang Chao crushed a rock at his feet, which was very suitable for building a city, at least its structure was stable.

Senmut was speechless, human beings are a race that is better at internal fighting than external fighting, and it is rare in the world that there is a race that is better at slaughtering its own kind than fighting against foreign enemies, but this is the case with human beings.

Mankind invented knives and guns, invented bows and arrows, invented catapult ballistas, and then invented bombs and muskets that slaughtered the same kind more efficiently, followed by machine gun tanks, artillery fighters, and even nuclear weapons, laser weapons, space-based weapons......

More and more murderous weapons exist in the laboratories of various countries, and the products left over from the nuclear race are enough to destroy the world countless times, and human beings are now sleeping with a powder keg on their pillows, and Zhang Chao is sure that sooner or later mankind will perish in his own hands.

The Minoan city was built in a very unique way, with seven floors, each of which was built along the hill but not in a line along the mountain path.

The towering peaks on both sides of the mountain road obscured the other four city walls, making this angle not seem too grandiose for the city, and causing Zhang Chao to see only three walls at first.

But if you look at it from above, you will immediately be overwhelmed by its size and majesty, which is hardly a product of human beings in this era, even the immortal fortress of Noxus in later generations.

The city was as spectacular as it was when it was first built, and according to Senmut, when Minos was built, 100,000 were recruited by the people who mined the stone alone, and the Lady of Glom, who had mastered the ability to control sand and gravel, was recruited here.

And just as Rome was not built in a day, Minos took more than 100 years from the start of construction to the completion of construction, from Rhodes I to Rhodes III's coronation to inherit the title of Grand Duke, Minos was completely completed and became the royal city of the Grand Duke of Rhodes.

"Open the city gates!" Although the city was so tall and majestic that standing below it was like looking up at a tall building, Senmut no longer had the desire to show off to Zhang Chao, and gestured to the guards of the city in frustration.

Suddenly, the city gate slowly rose upward with the twisting of the winch, this is the big city gate, symbolizing the noble status of the visitor, so the soldiers and the people who came in and out of the small doors on both sides of the city gate stared at Zhang Chao with an amazed look, and there were many discussions, guessing his identity.

Because the last time this door was opened, it was for His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, it is conceivable that this person who looks young is not much worse than His Majesty the Emperor.

The silver-armored soldiers and Glaux followed behind them like little chickens, and they didn't dare to take a breath, staring at Zhang Chao's back with frightened eyes.

"Your Excellency, please. Senmut led the way, like a skilful guide, and his tone became more and more respectful.

Zhang Chao didn't move, just glanced back at the silver-armored soldiers with interest, and a moment later he took another step in the sweaty and fearful gaze of these people.

"A true brave man dares to stand up to a foreign enemy, not to run amok against his own people. ”

Before leaving, he left this sentence, and everyone nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and no one dared to show a disobedient expression.

It wasn't until the backs of Zhang Chao and Senmut had disappeared that they ignored the curious expressions of the people around them, and suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the expressions of the rest of their lives.

"That's a dragon!" a silver-armored soldier suddenly grabbed his helmet and shook his head like madness, the evil legend of the dragon has a long history, it is a terrible beast that can only be found in mythology.

"We defied the majesty of the dragon, and we were lucky to have survived. A soldier next to him said in a daze, unable to extricate himself from fear for a long time, and there was only endless happiness left in his heart.

"It's a legend, and we can go to Love Lane and brag about the ladies who are not willing to be lonely, and I think they will surely want to have a wonderful relationship with us once or twice. One of the soldiers was joking, but his trembling thighs had already sold him out.

"Locke, sooner or later you will die in a woman's belly. One of his companions rolled his eyes, his hands still trembling, and no one would laugh at the other, for no one was better than the other.

But when it comes down to Locke's joke, the atmosphere finally became lively again, not as lifeless as it was at the beginning, and all of them were as dead as a mournful woman.

Of these people, only Glaukes showed a thoughtful expression, and he silently chewed on the words: "The true brave dare to stand up to foreign enemies, and not to run amok against their own people." ”

Gradually, he stood up and walked towards his house in the morning light, ignoring the silver-armored soldiers who had been fighting together, they were all children of noble families, and he was the highest ranking among them.

He had always been proud of it, but now he was suspicious of his so-called aristocratic lineage and his former style...... He decided to give it a try.

Zhang Chao and his entourage rushed in, the pedestrians on the street came and went in a hurry, even if it was early in the morning, it was already a prosperous scene here, after all, there was no electric light in this era, and people generally went to bed early, so they got up much earlier than modern people.

"Because of last night's vision and the coming of your Excellency...... The city was in turmoil, and the opening of the gates this morning was delayed, and Minos was much more prosperous in the past than it is now. Senmut said a little crampedly.

Zhang Chao looked at him in surprise, and had to nod, "Shurima is there a more prosperous city than Minos?"

Senmut nodded, but his tone was not dejected, but proud: "Only Shurima." ”
