One day, the breeze rustled against the small trees on both sides of the street.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting cooler, but the streets of the city are still very lively, with vendors and pedestrians walking straight along the stone-paved roads towards the east gate, where the most prosperous part of the city is located, and a large number of foreign goods and new people enter the city every day.

After entering the east gate, the wide wild goose pagoda gatehouse is the most eye-catching building, which does not meet the architectural standards and concepts of this era, and the gatehouse is designed to accommodate five forts and 600 soldiers standing vertically at the same time.

And at this time, a group of March soldiers who were in charge of patrolling the city lined up in a neat line from the city gate to Guò.

"Ah, look. That's the March troops defending the royal city! ”

The crowd on the side of the street stopped and cast envious and curious glances in this direction.

It was noon when the streets and the east gate were at their busiest, and a number of foreign merchants and foreigners were allowed to enter the city at this time, and then they were escorted out of the city at night. The richness of the royal city of Pullen was now so famous that even the Irish, hundreds of miles away, had heard of it.

Today, it coincides with the weekly "Xingfeng Festival" of the Pulon Royal City, which at this time last year completed the first step of rebirth from the ashes and established its first armed force of its own, although it was still very weak at that time, but now it has developed into an elite armed force of 800 people.

Therefore, whenever it is time for the Xingfeng Festival, in order to commemorate the birth of the first official army of the Pulon Royal City, a similar kind of welcoming event is held, and on this day, as long as there is no ill will towards the Pulon Royal City, even friends who have had unpleasant feelings in the past can come to participate.

The festival is not only the time when the city of Puron is open to the outside world, but it is also the only time that foreign merchants are not charged any fees and are allowed to enter the city for free. Although the transaction tax is still payable according to the regulations, the city entry tax, road maintenance tax, security tax, etc. can be exempted.

Pedestrians and merchants on both sides of the street stopped to look at each other at the same time.

I saw that an elite team wearing bright silver armor had a total of twenty people. They wore completely enclosed iron helmets and a mask on their faces.

In addition to being the first heavy unit of the Pulon Royal City, this unit was also the first batch of upgraded standard armor equipped with the Puron Royal City standard equipment - Type 20. The new armor is made of a mixture of iron and leather, and is made of fine iron in all the vital parts and chest armor, which is very strong! Leather armor is still used in other parts, such as shoes, gloves, and wrist guards.

The glorious afternoon sun shone on their delicate and sturdy armor. Compared to the standard iron spears used by ordinary October spearmen, the standard weapon used by the March Army was the "Stainless Steel Decapitation Knife", which was long and sharp, with a thick and heavy back, and the "Glory Rose" of the Purun King City tattooed on the sword.

Their shields are also different from the October Legion, which is made entirely of iron and extremely strong, and the shape is also mainly silver, and the shield is also engraved with the logo of the March Legion, and the twin swords are crossed in the middle of a rose.

Completely different from the nature of the October Legion and the Crossbow Troops, the March Force was the first "elite heavy armoured" unit in King Pleon, built entirely in close combat. The October Legion of the Princes of Pulen completed the process of developing from the city guard to the regular army, which is called "from nothing". And March is the evolution and upgrade of the October Legion, that is, the transformation from "having to refined".

"Look at the clothes they're wearing! Is that all made of iron? God, what kind of army is this! Can anyone in the world break through the walls of these people? When an English merchant saw the equipment of the March Legion, he couldn't control himself and shouted loudly.

This English merchant has also been on the trade route for more than ten years, and he has visited all kinds of towns and cities in the British Isles. But nowhere have I ever seen a group of people so neatly dressed and so united in their movements, as if they were all in one and wearing such terrible thick armor!

The group of soldiers walked like a wall, and when they stepped on the ground and walked in front of people, everyone could clearly feel that the ground was trembling slightly.

The March Squad walked in front of everyone with their heads held high. While the attention was being struck, the members of the team were eerily silent, unable to hear their delightful snickering at the attention they were in the spotlight, nor to see any expressions on their faces.

Yes, both the October Legion and the March Legion have always carried out the first characteristic of the Pullen army—the terrifying silence of the army.

"Tsk, all of them are built by the Iron Department themselves, and I heard that the activity funds that those guys have received recently are more than four times that of other departments." A foreign businessman who seemed to know something inside scratched his chin and said with an interesting expression.

"Huh? Ministry of Ironware? What's that? ”

The other businessmen who didn't know why suddenly gathered around and asked in a big voice. Almost all of these people were attracted to the name of the royal city of Puren, and they only discovered it after arriving here. The city of Puren is simply a paradise on earth, not to mention the cleanliness of the street, there are small trees on both sides of the road, and the high city walls are covered with flagpoles, and the whole city is like a rainbow from a distance, like the sun in the sky!

Under the huge city walls that are seven meters high and four meters wide, human beings are like ants, and they can only look up at this great giant city full of unique momentum. Although it was originally designed to be only four meters high, the walls have been strengthened again after three renovations, but this is already the limit of current Pullen engineering.

"Tsk, I don't know...... Come, let me tell you some basic rules about the city of Puron. ”

The expatriate businessman enjoyed the sensation of being in the spotlight, and foamed at the mouth as he recounted some of the information he had gleaned from the other Pullens.

"In other words, this Pulun royal city has a total resident population of more than 6,700 people, and it is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles. The only thing that can compare to it is York, the largest trading city in the British Isles. But when it comes to the gap between York and the royal city of Pullen, it's really not a little bit or two......"

Where the foreign businessmen are talking, the people below are gradually listening. Unconsciously, some of the people of Pulen were also attracted to the topic and began to participate in the discussion......

August 1st year, September 1086 A.D.

After more than a year of development, the city of Pulun has completed the construction of various infrastructure, and has also developed from a small village with only a hundred people to a large city with thousands of people living and thick walls and hundreds of troops guarding it.

The inner city is based on the original town construction, the area is not large, but the center of the entire city of Pulon is also the safest place, where the king of Pulon and the first people who follow him live together, which is a great glory unimaginable for many of the people who joined later.

The outer city of Pulun is a complex of militarization and civilization, with the southeast two areas being private and commercial, and the northwest two cities being re-expanded into industrial and political zones.

A newly built four-storey building, the "Metropolitan Government Tower", is the central building of the entire northwest belt, which is connected to the "Yingling Pagoda" in the private area, and can echo from a distance of hundreds of meters.

The land of the royal city has been completed, and all the stones are paved, and day and night, there is an endless stream of oxen, horses, and carts coming and going. This is mainly because the multi-wheelers and unicycles made by the royal city of Pleun greatly liberate the cost of manpower, so that more things can be solved by more means.

"Hey, a new batch is coming! Come and help from the Ministry of the Interior! “

On the south side of the city, small boats run down the river, loaded with a large number of daily necessities brought from the harbor city of Pandora. There was "salt", there was "paper", and there were even many pottery and fruits, as well as seeds. But this is just the beginning, as the construction of Pandora gradually diversifies, more and more supplies will gradually be brought to the royal city of Pleon.

At this time, the small boat, docked on the simple but sturdy and unique pier, came down with four or five city guards stationed in Pandora.

"Look at that, that's the city of Puron...... O place where the legendary King of Our dwells. “

"Eh, what envy," the Pandora guards looked at the tall city wall not far away with unusually envious eyes. Although the walls strengthened by Pandora in the later period are also quite good, compared to the royal city of Pulun, it is almost like a gap between adults and children.

It is very easy for most people to join the Pulon King's City, and if they are willing to give up their past qiē whenever and wherever they are, then they are eligible to join the Pulon King's City. However, it is one thing to join, and it is another thing to be able to actually enter the royal city.

Today's royal city is not as easy to enter as it used to be. There are many Pulun people who are sighing like this, and even some of the older generation of Pulun people can personally understand that the king has begun to consciously control the number of people in the capital and the conditions for joining.

For example, in March of the first year, the city of Puron was still quite open, and almost anyone could come. However, since the capture of Pandora in 4 years, as well as the major renovation in May and the major development in June, the conditions for joining the royal city have become more and more demanding, until even ordinary Puron people need a lot of time and energy to enter the royal city.

"Okay, okay, don't look at it. Hurry up and move everything up, and don't forget that if the "sunspots" in the logistics department find out that you are lazy, be careful that you all have to hang on the city gate tower one by one! “

A young man approached, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but with blond hair and green eyes and leather armor. He wears a "red crested helmet" on his head, symbolizing his young age, but he is a non-commissioned officer in the army. However, he wears a red crested helmet and a white cloak with a budding rose on the cloak, which means that he is not a formal army non-commissioned officer, but a probationary or non-commissioned officer reserve studying at a military academy.

However, this did not make the Pandora City guards care, and what really made them obedient was the badge of "Purple Rose" on the chest of this little brat. It was a special medal that only the first generations to join the city of Pullen, as well as their descendants, deserved it.

"Yes, and we will do it! Don't worry about the old ancestors. “

The city guards said respectfully. The title "Old Ancestors" comes from the people of Pulun who joined later, and the honorific title for the first people who joined the royal city of Pulun represents gratitude and awe. Because if it weren't for them, there would be no place for the city of Pullen, without them there would be no birth of King Pullen, and without them, there would be no first hunting party, logging team, and city guards. There is also no Pleun Revolution triggered by the later Plun tragedy, let alone the later Qiē.

"No, the king's command is that the descendants of our generation must do it. The king has said that the royal city of Pulen is with us, so we must also dedicate a qiē to the royal city of Purun, and defend every inch of the royal city of Pulen with the perseverance and loyalty of our fathers. Therefore, we enjoyed the best treatment in the city of Pulun, we did not have to worry about eating and drinking, and it was the king himself who cultivated us. But if it's outside, it's on the battlefield. The first to take the stage was our first generation of Pulon people! The last one to go must also be our first generation of Pulems! This is an expression of loyalty and bravery, but also honor and respect for the ancestors. “

Despite his young age, the child's face and the words he spoke were extraordinarily deep.

"Alright, get out of the way. Our duty is to escort supplies safely into the Pulon King City, and the rest of the matter will be taken over by our "February Dragon Leader Army" in the Pulon King City. “

After saying that, the boy turned around and shouted to the team members behind him, "Following the will of the king, our imperial army will dedicate a qiē to the city of Pulun King!" “

"Diehard, foolish, sworn allegiance!!" Two hundred children dressed in the same costumes and the same age chanted slogans. Carrying iron sticks and heavy sandbags, they walked forward one by one to carry their supplies, neither pack horses nor wooden carts. Relying on their slightly short bodies, they carried heavy supplies to the royal city.

Seeing the figures of those children gradually disappearing, the Pandora City guards who remained on the dock suddenly sighed.

"Is that the February Army, which was established at the same time as the March Legion?"

"That's right, although the October Legion's ascent channel is the March Legion, but the February Legion is a little different from them. Whether it's March or October, although they are regular combat corps, that's all. In addition to being a regular combat reserve, the February Regiment was also the first non-commissioned officer unit to be trained by the king himself. “

An informed dock officer explained to the city guards.

"The king said to plan ahead, and although the two hundred reserve non-commissioned officers were still small children, it was precisely because they were children that their possibilities were far more sculptural than those of adults who had already been stereotyped. Although they have not seen blood yet, and they have never actually been on the battlefield, they are all children who have experienced the darkest times, and their inner maturity is far greater than their appearance. “

"So you wait and see, according to their kind of Cheng dù, which is several times harder than the training of the October Legion. In a year at most, we will have to add a huge boost to the Puron King City. And this qiē, from beginning to end, is still as the king expected, and has never been out of his control. “
