Chapter 44: Domineering
The sky is extraordinarily blue, the white clouds are like the purest white cotton, floating in the air one by one, and the winter weather at this moment brings people the warmest enjoyment and clear sky.
There was an eagle's cry in the sky, and the melodious cry seemed to pass through the earth, and the eagle's eyes reflected the world, and as the eyes looked, a magnificent scenery full of magic unfolded.
The vast plains as far as the eye can see, the neat land is densely covered with farmland that cannot be seen, the dense villages, representing the local rich population and life, an avenue stretches straight into the distance, on which avenue, countless convoys come and go, with the avenue looking forward, a city that seems to not exist, erected where.
The city is extremely wide, the dense white buildings, the countless roads, every corner of the city seems to be full of people, the dense crowd is crowded and numerous, the city is divided by a large number of walls, and the closer you get to the center of the city, the higher the height of the buildings, and in the endless houses, the bell of the city seems to come from afar, as if it is still in the ears, but it seems to have never existed.
And at the very core, suddenly a huge white wall appeared, oh no, it should be a white giant building, a huge structure of towers: the White Tower!
The eagle fluttered its arms, as if it wanted to fly to the top of the building, to overlook this magnificent city with its absolute height, nothing could be higher than the eagle, and as it continued to climb, a complete city appeared in the picture.
The wide city guards the white tower, the city is flying with countless colorful flags, the nobles are dressed in fresh clothes, the commoners are busy living, the merchants bring fresh vitality and vitality to the city, and at the same time, they also take away the unique resources and products of the city, and the city brings a well-deserved magnificent scenery.
And here, it's the White City!
...
White City, the imperial capital of the human race, the earliest gathering place of the human race, the construction of the white city is legendary, the legendary human race does not know how such a magnificent city was built, even if all the strong labor of the human race is mobilized and the help of the dwarves is not possible, it is impossible to build such a magnificent city.
The White City is divided into three areas: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city, of which the outer city has two 20-meter-high city walls, and the outermost city wall with a height of 50 meters, and the inner city has two 15-meter-high barrier walls, while the imperial city has only one gate.
The Imperial City, also known as the White Tower, is built directly on a high mountain in the core of the White City, and it should be noted here that this is not to say that the city is built on the mountain, but the entire mountain is built into a city.
The scenery is particularly magnificent, the whole mountain is neatly wrapped in white boulders, the smooth and hard walls block anyone who wants to go up the mountain, and the only entrance to the entire imperial city is a circular winding mountain road, and at the entrance of the winding mountain road, a small sturdy castle, firmly guarding the gate.
People often wonder if they can one day enter the White Tower, stand on the top of the White Tower, and look at the whole city and even the world, then what kind of mood will they feel at that moment?
However, this scene is just a psychological reflection for everyone, because the people who can look at the world from the top of the White City, even in the entire Middle-earth Continent, are only a few people, because standing in the White Tower and looking into the distance is a status symbol, but also a symbol of power.
Today, the north gate of the White City is particularly lively.
The outermost walls of the White City are exceptionally tall and wide, and in addition to the awe-inspiring fifty-meter-high walls, there are also twenty-meter-wide walls, which are certainly not exactly twenty meters thick, but are composed of various auxiliary buildings such as auxiliary walls, small acropolises, modular towers, etc.
Because the walls of the North Gate face the direction of Fort Clarion, the gate of the North Gate is completely guarded by a two-meter-thick steel gate, because the gate is too heavy, and the influence of Mordor, the north gate has never been closed since the last battle.
The vast majority of the crowd gathered at the gate today are the lowest inhabitants of the White City, who are huge in number but have almost no wealth.
In other words, gathered at the door, they are all poor.
Today's poor people are very happy, because the legendary Lord Lelouxiu, the Earl of the Red Dragon who can bring them a better life, is coming today, and I don't know if Lelouch himself can promote it along the way or what, within the scope of the White City, Lelouch's reputation is exceptionally high, especially among the poor, so when Lelouch and his party are about to arrive in the White City, there is already a dense crowd at the door.
At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers with a clear gap between their physique and the surrounding humans are gathering, their equipment is not bad, with chain armor and leather armor, and they are holding a brand-new iron sword in their hands, although this equipment is not luxurious, but it is also good, but this equipment is far worse than their discipline, to be honest, such equipment is better than Limburg before the change, but in terms of discipline, it is not even comparable to the Limburg soldiers before Lelouch arrived.
And this unreasonable scene made everyone wonder, but when the crowd looked at this group of soldiers, there was a deep hatred in their eyes, but it was well covered.
It's a group of orc soldiers.
The half-short figure was wearing unreasonable clothing, and in front of this group of half-orc soldiers, a half-orc captain was standing at the front, and from time to time looked at the dense humans around him with provocative and contemptuous eyes, the people on both sides were distinct, the half-orcs were well-armed, but the number was small, and the human race, although they did not have any weapons and armor, were numerous and much taller.
Their goal is the same today, that is, to wait for someone, but the result they want in the end is very different.
As the sun shifted, finally, on the avenue outside the city gate, a sentry from the guard tower outside the city rode quickly towards the city gate, and was still halfway there, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth and roar:
"Coming, coming, Count Red Dragon has arrived in White City, and they are right behind me!"
People looked behind the sentry, a team of white knights reflecting the sun's rays came to meet the sun, the gorgeous, mighty armor set off the soldiers as if they were mortal soldiers, the head with winged giant helmets, even more daunting, at the same time, but also silently said in the heart: so handsome!
More than 200 people rode war horses towards the city gate, this scene not only shocked the civilians watching, but also shocked the half-orc team at the door, but the half-orc captain reacted quickly, he almost immediately stretched out a finger to the front of Lelouch and said something loudly, although Lelouch in the distance did not know what he was talking about, but it could not be seen from his mouth shape and movements, he wanted Lelouch to stop.
It stands to reason that the request of the half-orc captain at this time is actually not too much, but Lelouch frowned slightly, because according to the urine nature of the half-orcs, after stopping, there may be some moths, and looking at the expressions and appearances of the half-orcs, as well as the purpose of his trip, Lelouxiu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly accelerated his speed, and the sudden acceleration did not produce any hesitation on the knight behind him, and they followed Lelouxiu almost without blinking their eyes.
At first, the accelerated orcs didn't feel anything, but as the two sides got closer and closer, the orcs suddenly seemed to realize something Their formation was slightly chaotic, and some soldiers seemed to want to dodge, but the half-orc captain didn't believe that Lelouch dared to rush straight over, he stopped the soldiers from dodging, and pulled out his weapon and yelled at Lelouch to stop.
However, Lelouch did not react, but after the half-orc captain drew his weapon, Lelouch also drew his long sword and pointed straight ahead, and the knight behind him flattened his riding spear.
Only now did the orc captain really realize that something was wrong, and was ready to hide to the side, but it was too late now, and as the first war horse crossed the city gate, the half-orc team fell under Lelouch's war horse in an instant.
This scene made the civilians at the gate of the city quiet for a moment, but then, the crowd erupted into a huge cheer, of course, the civilians will not think about the result of this thing, nor will they think about what will happen to them if the orcs retaliate in the future, for the civilians, when a person who has bullied them all the year round is killed and cleaned up by a person they consider a hero, they will only glow with the most heartfelt gratitude and refreshment from the bottom of their hearts.
Lelouch brought them such a refreshing feeling.
Lelouch's approach not only thrilled civilians, but also terrified some non-civilians:
Not far from the city gate, two gorgeously dressed Terran nobles watched this scene in disbelief:
"Is this little country nobleman crazy? How dare he do that? The orcs didn't even say anything!"
"Anyway, this person seems to be more difficult than we thought, let's go back and tell the shaman!"
...
The departure of the two nobles did not attract the attention of the revelry crowd around them, but in the midst of the revelry crowd, a man in a black cloak silently watched the departing nobleman, and beside him, there were many people standing as if they were not there, as if they were protecting him in the middle.
In any case, Lelouch's first test in the city was solved by Lelouch in the most simple and rude way, and at the same time, he also released a direct message to all the forces that paid attention to him, and this message made everyone understand in an instant how they should react to Lelouch's arrival.
