Chapter 167: Atobek
If there was anything else in this world that would shock Dick, it would be the big city in front of him.
The eighth universe, the 18th year of the new era? Dick finally got his wish and came to the city of St. Abetok, the imperial capital of the Monto Empire, which he had long thought.
He had seen the introduction of the city in many books, but he was still sincerely amazed: it is better to see than to hear!
If you want to talk about the imperial capital of Atobek, you must first talk about the Monto Empire!
The Mengtuo Empire was founded by the Mengtuo Emperor overthrowing the Huangquan Empire of the previous dynasty, and then fought for 60 years, and the tribes of the entire Eastern Continent and the Nanyang Continent came to congratulate each other, and paid tribute every year, and has become the overlord of the world, with a land area of up to 45 million square kilometers.
In the years that followed, the empire survived numerous wars, but it still stood tall, dominating Baikalmo for 1,200 years, and has now gone through 35 emperors.
The city of St. Abetok, also known as the imperial capital, was started during the reign of Monto the Great and was built in a total of 130 years after three emperors.
The imperial capital is now not only the capital of the Monto Empire, but also the central city, megacity, political center, military center, cultural center, plane exchange center, etc., as long as you can think of any field, this is the center!
The location of the city of St. Abetoke is excellent. It is located in the center of the Eastern Continent, bordered to the north by the Curbin, a branch of the Goiânian River, the largest river in the Eastern Continent, the Benoni Mountains to the east, and the Cape Town Plain, the hinterland of the Eastern Continent, to the southwest.
Such a geographical location makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is naturally a super strong military fortress.
On the scale of the city, the city of St. Abetok covers an area of 1,600 square kilometers, surrounded by four 40-kilometer walls, with a permanent population of 15 million people, surrounded by 4 satellite cities, a total of 8 legions to defend the imperial capital, plus the military police, the forbidden army, the guards of various dukes and counts, a total of 2 million troops.
The most daunting thing is the layout of St. Abetok City, the outermost city wall is as high as 35 meters, the foundation is 40 meters thick, the top is 20 meters thick, 400,000 troops are stationed on the city wall all year round, and the city wall is equipped with a 10-meter-high arrow tower every 1 kilometer, which is equipped with 4 siege crossbows to deal with the legend of the strong. There are only 10 gates in such a long city wall, which are evenly distributed in the north, west and south directions, and the east gate is closed to the public all year round.
Another city wall was arranged 1 km inward outside the outer city wall, the specification was one-fifth smaller than the outermost city wall, and an urn city was formed between the two city walls, which could be called a war meat grinder.
In the 1,200-year history of the Monto Empire, there have been countless wars, especially in the first 500 years of the founding of the country, the Eastern Continent Alliance, the remnants of the former dynasty, the attacks of other continents, and even the invasion of different planes have hit the city of St. Abetok more than 100 times, but only 5 times really dared to attack St. Abetok and wanted to break the city, and 4 of them were all defeated.
The only exception was the attack of the Star Clan branch, one of the three major golden families, and the Star Clan's 2.3 million troops did not choose to besiege the city, but attacked directly.
After 10 days of strong siege, the first wall was finally breached, and the Star Clan branch launched a general attack, and all the troops entered the urn city, as long as the second wall was breached, the Monto Empire could be destroyed.
However, the 1.5 million elite troops of the StarClan branch were trapped in the Urn City, and 30 days later, at the end of the war, less than 100,000 of the 2.3 million troops of the StarClan survived.
In the end, 2.3 million StarClan troops and 1.3 million creatures of the Monto Empire were sacrificed to the urn city of St. Abetok, which also created the myth that the city of Atobek is unbreakable.
It was precisely because of the victory in this battle that the Monto royal family defeated the star clan of the three golden families, so the Monto royal family even boasted that it was the fourth largest golden family in Baicarmo.
The history of the city cannot be told in a few words, Dick looked at the tall city wall in front of him, looking at the Wanli Man Mountain, he was really a little dizzy, and sighed: "When will this line be able to enter?" ”
"St. Abetok has a total of 9 gates, 6 of the 9 gates in the north, west and south directions are open to the public all year round, 6 gates with 36 lanes, 18 in and 18 out, from 6 am to 8 pm, 800,000 people a day."
"I'm really impressed!"
"So you need to worry too much, don't look at the crowds here, this is because the three gates in the north need to pay the city entry tax, if you detour to the west gate, I estimate that you can enter the city in the evening." Phoebe clearly knows the place very well, even as familiar as home.
"Oh, that's it! Then let's go to Simon! "Dick only needs to be in town today!
"Humph! It's just that you want to wait here, I still feel ashamed! Go, follow me! I led the way through the gates reserved for the nobles of Monto. Phoebe pulled Dick and walked out.
It took a lot of effort for the two to get to the north gate.
In front of them was the central main gate of the northern wall, and a small group of troops in front of them surrounded the tall knight through the main entrance.
"The main gate is open for the development and army of the royal family, the four major dukes, and ordinary nobles or ordinary soldiers can only go through the side door in the main entrance. If it is a person at the level of a legion commander, he can also walk through the main gate with the Imperial Legion, which is a manifestation of the martial arts of the Monto Empire, in order to enhance the sense of honor of the warriors and to encourage all the lords to serve the Empire. Phoebe stood in front of the door with some excitement, as if she was proud of her country.
"It is said that the Monto Empire is good at war, advocating war, and its attitude towards soldiers is really impressive!"
"We have royal access!" Phoebe is grinning, as if the imperial capital is her family's back garden!
It is an arched door 20 meters wide and 15 meters high, and the symbol of the Monto royal family is depicted on the door, a huge battlefield owl of legendary strength.
"Please show the royal nameplate!" One leader has a halberd and a horizontal, stopping the two!
"You don't know me!?" Phoebe looked at this head in disbelief!
"I don't know, please show the nameplate!" This leader didn't give Phoebe any face!
"I............ You ............" Phoebe lost face in front of Dick, and her face turned red with anger!
"Do you have that thing at all!? If not, we'll go somewhere else! Dikra persuaded Phoebe!
"You don't believe me, you look down on me! I'm so angry with my mother! Phoebe turned to the leader and yelled, "Let your captain come out to me, you eyeless thing!"
"Joke, take it for me!" This man could have repelled the two, but he fell in love with Phoebe's appearance and used his brain!
"Bold! I see you dare to ......," Phoebe took a step forward.
"Take it, send this to my room......"
