Chapter 41: The Imperial Capital (1)
Chapter 41: The Imperial Capital
A total of 500,000 allied soldiers slowly drove through the grassland where the ancestors of the guilty people had survived and entered the territory of the Van Empire. The local army of the Van Empire immediately became nervous, and the various lords sent a large number of family knights to lead their private armies to monitor along the way, and almost escorted the armies of various countries out of their territories. In fact, the gate is not so tight, the important ministers and generals of various countries were invited to go to the Vatican Imperial Capital for a period of time, and with those middle and lower-level officers of the coalition army, they really did not have the ability to make waves in the territory of the Vat Empire.
The armies of various countries were scattered and developed, and they went straight to the south, neither of them knew where each other's teams were going, and their ministers and generals were wrapped up in the army of the Vanta Empire, and the group was lively and lively, and they were cordial and enthusiastic towards the Vantian Imperial Capital. There, they would stay for a while, and only after their armies had finally left the territory of the Vatican Empire would they be sent back. Truth be told, even Ray knew that they were actually hostages, but no one would be stupid enough to say this.
Carlin and Pobcart have not had a road since the arrival of the negotiating minister, and it seems as if they have evaporated from the world. In the end, when they were halfway through, Lei learned that the two of them had a deep enmity with Lei, and both sides swore an oath that they would definitely kill each other, and in order to protect themselves, the two would not be assassinated by Lei after arriving at the Fante Imperial Capital, and simply ran back to their own country after the arrival of the negotiating minister.
Jerry said this indignantly, and Ray just smiled, smiling. What is there to say? In short, everyone has sworn to kill each other, so when there is a chance in the future, they will just fight desperately. There is nothing to say.
After walking slowly for a month, passing through the prairie and passing through the territories of the three Van provinces, they finally arrived at the land directly under the imperial capital of the Van Empire. Three days ahead, it will be the imperial capital of the Van Empire, the 'Furious Battle City'. On the mainland, the imperial capital of the Wright Empire is known as the 'City of Art', the imperial capital of the Smart Empire is known as the 'City of Magic' and the 'City of Commerce', and the Imperial Capital of Vant, just like the name of his city, has the name of 'City of Madness'. It is nothing more than a kind of uneasiness expressed by other countries on the mainland that there are too many soldiers trained by the Vatican Emperor, and thus they are just a little bit slandered.
'Furious Battle City', some people also call him 'Ling Tian City', the city's city wall is not very high, the main body of the city wall is only less than two hundred feet high, but on his city wall, every other mile, there is a thin, five-hundred-foot quadrangular square tower, the top standing, is a majestic knight statue, that is the statue of the great generals since the founding of the Van Empire. Of course, as dynasties change, the statues on it always have to be replaced.
The 200-foot-tall walls, with the 500-foot-tall square towers, were more than 700 feet tall, the tallest buildings on the entire continent. In particular, the city walls and square towers are all made of white ashlar, while the top sculpture is made of pure gold, with the powerful lines, there is a dynamic effect of Ling Feng flying away, which is the willingness of 'Furious Battle City' also known as 'Ling Tian City'.
The length and width of the city walls were twenty miles, the number of inhabitants in the city reached 800,000, and the number of armies of various military lines was 200,000. Two huge gates were opened on the city walls in each direction to facilitate the entry and exit of the people, and eight wide roads were connected to the four directions, one of which was the continental commercial highway that ran through the countries of the north and south of the continent. As if to know the news that the war was over, countless convoys were running back and forth on the road. Those merchants who regarded money as their lives, in order to compensate for the losses caused by not being able to do business for most of the year, had just heard the news of the end of the war, and began to frantically transport.
Ray sat on the saddle in a daze, looked up at the two square towers on the left and right of the city gate, and suddenly shouted: "Jerry, how is it possible? Doesn't he collapse?"
Jerry laughed: "Ray, the 'Battle City' was designed by a very famous architect, well, you look like these towers are very thin, don't they seem to be very unstable? But think about it, the thickness of this city wall is 800 feet, that is, more than half a mile thick, this tower is actually very thick, it is a special architectural effect, so that others look small." ”
Lei shook his head in confusion, sighed, and then glanced at the golden statue on the top of the square tower, and muttered: "Is the statue pure gold?
Jerry and the others all heard Ray's muttering, and they all snickered in their hearts: "Who dares to steal from the city of the imperial capital? Every day, 30,000 city guards patrol the city walls." Especially at a height of 500 feet, how could he climb up? Those statues were so heavy, how could he get them down from there? Hehe, unless they were the top magicians in the mainland, it would be possible. But magicians come and steal things? ”
The team played triumphant music and slowly walked towards the city gate. The private armies in those places had already returned to their territory halfway, and only the remaining more than 50,000 people of the Five Beast Legion slowly entered the city. Lei clearly saw that when he entered the city gate, the ministers and generals of the other six countries were a little hesitant, but they had to go in under the large flow of troops behind. Lei Yin laughed, and he whispered: "It's a pity that I can't play the means of yin damage, otherwise, I will let these noble guys have a good time." ”
Lomat sneered, and he whispered, "My lord, leave this kind of thing to us." When these adults come to the imperial capital, they will definitely not stay in the hotel to rest, they will definitely go to the prosperous places of the imperial capital for recreation, and when the time comes, there are many ways to make them cry without crying. ”
Ray nodded heavily and made a rude gesture, "That guy named Shapoko, I remember that he was the captain of Carlin's personal guard, but it was strange that he didn't follow Carlin. This time, I need to take care of him. ”
Jerry looked at Ray strangely and said, "This time the Smart Empire sent out their first prime minister, that is, Carlin's father. As the leader of the knights of the Karlin family, he naturally has to follow the head of the family... However, if you want to take care of him, I'm very interested... Hmm, I'll go to the Qinglou in the imperial capital to find a few women and play a good trick on him, hehe. ”
Jerry and the other group of noble knights had a strange lewd smile on their faces, and Ray laughed along with them, even though he didn't understand what they meant.
At the gate of the city, knights dressed in brand-new armor of the Five Beast Legion stood in a line. There are no people watching nearby, because this time the Vatican Imperial Army is not a big victory, they were beaten miserably, and because of a coincidence, they ran back more than 50,000 people, so this kind of thing that is a little demoralizing is not good for the people to see. As for the knights who came to greet them, looking at their youthful faces, it was obvious that they had just been recruited from various military academies in the empire, or from the noble families of the imperial capital, although some young people looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but they all had golden second-order or even third-order knight badges, which showed that their strength should not be underestimated.
Jerry nodded, and then sighed: "These young men, their strength is not bad, but they have no experience in war, I really don't understand, if they are allowed to go to the battlefield, how many people will survive?"
Lei frowned and muttered, "War experience is such a thing, how can it be trained if you don't really go to the battlefield?"
Jerry licked his lips and looked at the large number of young knights standing neatly on the side of the road, and a strange smile hooked on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's very simple, Ray, when training them, give them the most rigorous training, such as letting them take a hundred men to attack a fortress with a thousand people defending, I guarantee they will appreciate this training method... Look at their armor, it's all brand new, damn, it's just been recruited, and it hasn't been trained yet. ”
Reze's horse slowly walked past the knights, the machete hanging from his waist swaying gently, and occasionally bumping into the metal fittings of the saddle, making a 'clanging' sound. Ray's war horse is a cut taller than ordinary horses, and Ray is a head taller than someone like Jerry at the moment, with a height of more than two meters, it looks like a small mountain that can move, and an invisible coercion makes those young knights involuntarily lower their heads.
However, there were a few young people who raised their heads and looked at Ray. However, when they saw the Legion Commander logo on Ray's chest, they immediately lowered their heads. They are not afraid of a knight of great strength, but they must respect the superiors of the Imperial army, which is one of the reasons why the army of the Van Empire is invincible, that is, the absolute obedience of the subordinates to their superiors.
