Chapter 104: Future Goals!
"Bang bang bang!" A steady stream of soldiers emerged from the massive portal, their helmets and shoulders and shields all marked with the image of a Seraph. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Rows of troops came out, followed by a series of cavalry regiments, followed by a large number of bishops, priests, and mages in white robes.
The sworn enemy of Cologne, the soldiers and horses of the Shining City, have arrived.
On the city wall, everyone was talking, although they didn't panic as before, but after all, Glorious City has always been eyeing Cologne, which is a well-known thing, so some people still can't help but turn around and prepare to flee.
Seeing the army in front approaching, under the city wall, the Marshal of the Eternal Kingdom, the Black Eagle Knight, still stood there steadily.
The earl next to him stood next to Ding Lei, looked at him, then looked at the thick dust approaching in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and didn't say anything.
The cavalry regiment of Radiant City soon arrived, and after a certain distance, they all separated to both sides, forming multiple cavalry phalanxes on the left and right, and stood there without moving.
Then there were the infantry phalanxes, which also rushed to both sides, lined up in arrays, waiting to be reviewed.
Finally, there was a phalanx of more than 10,000 bishops and priests, standing in the middle, and all the soldiers and horses were assembled.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast white armor and robes, like a regiment of gods descending from the sky.
"Salute~~!!"
A huge voice suddenly appeared in the sky above the Corps, and the aftermath was lingering, stirring in everyone's ears.
With two bangs, more than 200,000 people all knelt down on one knee, while hitting the armor on their chests with their right hands, bowing their heads and respectfully performing the highest etiquette.
The enemy army saluted to their country, looking at this strange scene, although it had already been experienced once, it still shocked the people on the city wall, and the whole city was suddenly silent.
And under the city wall, the earl covered his heart, his face was crimson, and he said in Ding Lei's ear: "Ah...... Ado brothers, they ...... Make no mistake, right? ”
Ding Lei didn't reply to him, and motioned to watch quietly.
In the Bishop's Corps in front, a person came out, he was also wearing a white robe with a seraphic pattern, came not far from Ding Lei, knelt down on one knee, and just when people were waiting for him to say something, suddenly, a huge light and shadow fell from the sky.
The huge phantom was several stories high, his countenance was radiant and holy, and at the same time he had these three pairs of white wings on his back, and his whole body radiated a dazzling light that illuminated the earth, which made everyone surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
The Holy Seraphic Phantom, all the soldiers of Radiant City looked up, and then immediately closed their eyes and bowed their heads, their expressions even more reverent.
The bishop who summoned the Seraphic Phantom said in a loud voice, "Archbishop of Radiant City, Lightbringer. Gabriel. Lawrence, personally led all his colleagues, under the instruction of the Glorious Seraph, changed the flag, joined the Eternal Realm, and renamed the Guardian Wings Legion, may my king be eternal and heroic! ”
Gabriel's voice spread everywhere, and the Seraphic Phantom above turned his head, looked at the troops below, and asked in a loud voice, "Are you willing?" ”
"Do God's Will !!!!" Everyone let go of their voices and roared loudly.
The phantom of the Seraph slowly faded out, and finally vanished.
Ding Lei quietly looked at the middle-aged bishop not far away, who approached him with a smile, and at the same time respectfully presented a bundle of parchment rolls with both hands, and said: "This is the surrender agreement, please accept it with a smile." ”
"Hmm." Ding Lei stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Go to the left, find a place to rest, and make room for others." ”
"Hehe, I know, then my subordinates will retire first."
Gabriel bowed, took two steps back, and then turned and walked towards his team.
"From ~~!!"
A loud voice sounded, and all the soldiers stood up and began to march towards the left station in turn, led by the commander of the front row.
200,000 people walked for a long time before they were gone.
Ding Lei looked at the scene in front of him and had a familiar feeling, like the entrance ceremony of the Olympic Games?
The earl next to him, holding his chest, said excitedly: "Brother Ado, the following are the people of the court, right?" ”
Ding Lei nodded and said, "That's right." ”
"Can you tell me? Why did our original rivals suddenly become our allies? ”
Ding Lei turned his head to look at him, then turned back and said, "The general trend is coming." ”
The Earl muttered this sentence and asked, "Eternal Realm, no, how great is the power of His Royal Highness?" ”
"Arthur." Ding Lei looked at the empty field in front of him and asked, "How much do you know about this world?" ”
After hearing this, the city lord frowned and thought for a while, raised his head and said: "The Empire, the Imperial Parliament, the Glorious City, the Satellite City, we, and the Federation City in the south, if you count the elves in the east, and even the port of Peter by the sea in the east, this is the world I know, and it is said that there is a force called Alliance City in the south, but because the distance is too far, the merchants can't get through, and we don't know very well." ”
After hearing this, Ding Lei was a little surprised, turned around and asked: "Do you mean that the world you know, or the map of this world, are all drawn by businessmen?" ”
"That's right, it's their trade roadmap. Merchants represent wealth, and the economy of one side of the power wants to function normally, just like flowers cannot do without bees, they resell goods to each other, enriching the living standards of various places, and at the same time driving the local economy. ”
Ding Lei said: "And for merchants, credibility is more important than anything else, so the contract is so binding here?" ”
This continent is dominated by businessmen, so it's no wonder it's so vibrant. If you don't have a merchant, you can't even buy a light bulb.
Ding Lei turned his head to look to the east and asked, "You say, there is a port called Port Peter on the seashore there, which is a wharf for maritime trade?" ”
"No, it's just a small town that goes overseas to fish, and in terms of shipping, we don't have special tools for sailing, so we don't know anything about the other side of the sea."
Facing Arthur's answer, Ding Lei had an idea in his heart, and said: "If, if the Eternal Kingdom grants you advanced navigation technology, then the merchants ......."
"They will flock overseas to bring more wealth to Your Highness, but only if Your Highness can send a large naval fleet to escort them." Arthur said with a smile.
Sure enough, as long as there is money to be made, there is a shadow of a businessman everywhere. They have been doing business on this continent for generations, and the market has long been saturated, and more and bigger markets are needed to provide them with a more gorgeous stage.
It's decided! After the unification of this continent, use human merchants as weapons and march towards the world! I want to see how big this world really is!
Just when Ding Lei was setting the direction of future development, far ahead, lightning and thunder roared, and the huge portal opened again.
