- Chronicle of the Holy Land
……
Passing through the Greene Plains, the royal capital stands prominently in front of it.
The kings in front of them are all high on the plain, sitting on a plateau that protrudes upwards for a full three thousand meters.
There is no transition between the plateau and the plain at all, and it rises directly from the ground.
There is simply no way to climb it.
In addition, a hundred meters high white "holy wall" was built around the royal capital, and it was impossible to break through from the periphery of the royal capital except for the empty road and the passage to the dungeon of the royal capital.
The reversible turret on top of the sacred wall also turned the muzzle of the cannon to a vertical downward position, constantly clearing the group of monsters 3,100 meters below him.
The group of monsters in the artillery fire is full of flesh and blood, but because of the low IQ problem, the low-level monsters will not stay away, but are constantly attracted by the sound of artillery fire, and consciously pile up in the trench between the plain and the plateau, and accept the baptism of artillery fire.
And some monsters with a higher degree of evolution will take the initiative to the unbreakable royal capital.
Frey overlooked the entire royal capital from the perspective of the airship, which was about a dozen times the size of an ordinary surface fortress.
On the holy wall, there were no lazy city guards, all of them were paladins wearing silver armor.
The paladins stood on the edge of the sacred wall, their bodies erect, looking down at the group of monsters wailing below, even if there was an insurmountable gap between high and low, their eyes were constantly observing the crowd of monsters below.
In a circle inside, the warship docks of the twelve Knights of the Round Table were evenly spaced in a circle, and twelve garrison bases wrapped around the periphery of the royal capital and within the sacred walls were derived.
It's just that the docks of the five bases are empty, three are about to land, and two have been lost for various reasons.
Paladins and base support staff, who look like small dots, are all walking back and forth among the large robotic arms operating on the base and the white steam spewing out, busy and orderly.
And further on, the living quarters of the petty nobles are two worlds.
Stained glaze, a large number of reliefs, pointed high ceilings, elongated buildings generally have a double-tower structure, and the stone pavements crisscrossing the buildings also look full of texture.
For the people who live here, the development of technology has not affected their love for ornate carriages and bloated clothes.
In the royal capital, which was full of advanced aircraft, horse-drawn carriages also ran on the wide streets.
The women who wore corsets like armor had their waists pinched to the limit, their breasts lifted up, and their upper bodies turned into a V-shape.
Dressed in dresses, they sat in groups under floor-to-ceiling parasols surrounded by servants.
Shaking the fan, sipping tea, pinching up pieces of exquisite pastries with his slender fingers, covering his mouth with the other hand before taking a small bite.
The only topics to talk about are shoes, bags, clothes, men, and the gossip of the royal capital.
Occasionally, there were some ladies with a dozen servants, strangled by corsets, who fainted directly on the road with their heads covered with one hand.
If it weren't for the pistols on the waist of the martial arts women patrolling this area, it would have been completely mistaken for thinking that they had traveled back in time to the Middle Ages.
Further in, to the central area of the royal capital, there is a clear differentiation.
Like a round piece of pizza being split into four pieces.
The ecclesiastical district filled with church towers, the aristocratic district with gilded walls, the alchemy district with constant explosions, the mechanical district with the roar of machines.
The characteristics of each area are completely different, but judging by the personnel of the guards, there is not a single paladin.
The ecclesiastical and alchemical quarters were guarded by cross-wearing apostles.
The aristocratic area and the mechanical area are guarded by the military women directly under King Arthur.
Just looking at the guards, you can see which area belongs to the church of the clergy and which area belongs to King Arthur's noble group.
Judging from the fact that the Knights Templar did not participate in the guarding, this group really did not belong to one of the two groups, but to the whole of the Holy Land.
In the center of the royal capital, King Arthur's royal city protrudes high, and the surrounding strong royal city walls are obviously defending against threats from within the royal capital.
Escorted by three warships, the Crusader's airship landed smoothly at the oratory hall that had been prepared in the diocese district.
As Frey and the others stepped down from the airship, the communication that had been prepared for a long time also transmitted the speech to every corner of the Holy Land in real time.
Speeches were abruptly inserted from the large and small screens of the royal capital and the various surface fortresses, and every frequency of the dungeon's broadcasts was live.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes in the venue, Elizabeth took the lead in walking to the stage where several microphones were erected.
"Thirty years ago, a man launched the Battle of Greene Plains, and today we are gathering under his royal city.
His promise is like the light of a beacon, giving hope to millions of people who are suffering from hunger and cold.
Its arrival is like a joyful dawn, giving people infinite hope. ”
With that, Elizabeth looked up at the royal city, which was protected by a fortified wall.
This small gaze also made the underground audience turn their heads to look at it.
The rebroadcast speech also gave Wang Cheng a shot in a timely manner.
After completing the small premeditated gesture, Elizabeth continued to speak.
Thirty years later, however, Arthur has not fulfilled his promise.
Today, thirty years later, not only did it not bring a better life to the people, but because of the betrayal of the Witch of the Black Tower, that is, the betrayal of Queen Kassandra, the Holy Land was once again forced into a more serious situation.
The monsters that appear occupy most of the land, squeezing the living space of the holy land.
Ninety percent of the people could only huddle in the dungeon like twisted ground worms.
Doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, eating pig-like food, receiving the most meager remuneration, and living a life without seeing the sun.
The reason for all this is because of the incompetence of the rulers! ”
As soon as Elizabeth named and openly attacked Arthur, there was an uproar in the royal capital.
The people who didn't care about the dungeon originally gritted their teeth when they heard someone say something on the radio that they usually didn't dare to say, stopped the sewn clothes in their hands, put down the goods they were carrying on their backs, and gathered in front of the loudspeaker of the dungeon's public address system to listen.
Their employers, watching those people gather together and grit their teeth and scold, could only watch from the sidelines, and did not dare to step forward and scold as before, for fear that they would become their punching bag.
"As the king of the Holy Land, Arthur Pendragon has not contributed anything to the Holy Land except for selfish deception and brutal suppression?" In the face of the uproar in the audience, Elizabeth's voice suddenly became extremely oppressive.
"Let me expose King Arthur's lies today!
Do you remember the force of nature, the dangerous force that devoured hearts in Arthur's mouth?
Expose everything about this scam today! ”
Elizabeth said, stretching her hand back to Frey, who was standing behind, "There's Frey Rowland down there." ”
"Roland?"
"Isn't that the offspring of the Empire's blood?"
"It's not going to go wild, is it?"
……
The chattering crowd in the venue turned their attention to Frey, and the broadcast footage also hit Frey.
"Frey, let them see what Arthur calls the power of danger." With that, Elizabeth stepped aside from the front of the stage where a few microphones had been erected.
I saw Frey walk to the microphone in front of the stage, stretch out his right hand, and slowly spin a blue energy in his palm.
The broadcast footage and the large screen of the venue also gave Frey a close-up of the blue energy in his hands.
The blue energy swirling in Frey's hand was slow and soft.
The people in the hall looked at the blue energy in Frey's hand and talked about it, and it was the first time they had seen this legendary and dangerous power that devoured people's hearts.
The slowly rotating blue energy in Frey's hand was completely different from the one that people had in the impression that it was as dangerous as the witch's black power, and many people even felt that the slowly rotating blue energy was a bit pretty.
Then Elizabeth stood beside Frey again, "Look, this is what King Arthur called a dangerous force. ”
"Also, I would like to say that just a few days ago, Frey led the crusaders to wipe out all the monsters that had invaded Fortress X through this 'dangerous force'.
A soldier who fought bloodily for the Holy Land, a force that eliminated the threat of monsters for the Holy Land, do you still think that the force of nature is the same as King Arthur said? Is it a dangerous force that must be sealed? ”
Elizabeth said this, Frey was a little weak-hearted, after all, the matter of sweeping away the monsters in the X fortress had nothing to do with him.
It's just that the reaction of the low-level crowd is just as Elizabeth expected, and there are already some doubts in their eyes.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and Elizabeth continued to speak, "As for King Arthur's distortion of the forces of nature, and Queen Kassandra's setting of the 'Fisheye Lock' to seal the bloodline of Roland's descendants, I will also tell you the real reason through two demonstrations today. ”
Elizabeth, who had fully entered her own rhythm, her voice was no longer as oppressive as before, and another hand spread back, reaching out to Anna who was standing behind her, and lightening Anna to Frey's side.
I saw Frena and the two standing opposite each other, and two energies also floated out of Frey and Anna's hands, intersecting between the two.
And the image of the blue force of nature and the golden holy light coming into contact made the crowd under the venue noisy again.
They all watched in amazement as the two energies came into contact with each other.
