Volume 30 Chapter 19 The Capital of the Kingdom
Every year in June, summer begins, and the Gozdali Plains on the Ice and Snow Wasteland ushers in the most beautiful time of the year.
And this summer, Gozdallipin is not only the most beautiful, but also the most lively.
Beginning in the year 896 of the Black Iron Calendar, after three and a half years of round-the-clock construction by nearly a million people, a majestic city has risen above the Gozdali Plain.
This city, the second city in the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland, is also the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, a majestic and magnificent city, and before its owner can determine its name, its name has quietly spread among all the Slavs of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, which is the name spontaneously given to it by all the Slavs in the Ice and Snow Wasteland - St. Petersburg.
Everyone, even the elders of the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe, felt that the name was inappropriate.
In more than three years, in order to build St. Petersburg, the steel plant, the cement factory, various machine factories, foundries and various workshops of all sizes sprung up on the Gozdali Plain, and the entire Gozdali Plain began to prosper in real success.
The influx of tens of millions of immigrants has brought sufficient and cheap labor to the ice and snow wasteland, brought a large number of skilled workers, engineers, and talents from all walks of life, and at the same time these people have also released a huge market demand, and Zhang Tie smashed 90 million gold coins to build St. Petersburg, which released a strong cash flow in the heart of the ice and snow wasteland, which is the guarantee of economic prosperity.
Around the construction of St. Petersburg, the cash flow of 90 million gold coins was pumped out of the heart of the ice and snow wasteland like blood. It trickles in all directions, from the most remote mountain bear tribes to the most prosperous Ewindara archipelago. Everywhere there were orders from St. Petersburg, and the entire ice and snow wasteland, like an activated steam engine, began to slowly turn, unleashing huge development potential, and everywhere was a scene of life.
At the height of the stormy passage of the Blackson Terrans, the ice and snow wasteland, which was once regarded as a barren land by countless people, began to enter the best era.
Who brought the Ice Wasteland into this best of times?
This question. At this time, in the ice and snow wasteland, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child can say it-His Majesty Peter.
With the construction of St. Petersburg day by day. Peter. The authority of Hampres's Tsar gradually became more and more solidified, and became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
……
At dawn, a cavalry team riding fierce saber-toothed beasts galloped through the night and finally arrived in the area of the Genqing Lake Delta in the Gozdali Plain. Over here. Overlooking the Elcidar Mountains, St. Petersburg, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, is located.
The members of this cavalry team were less than thirty people, and the cavalrymen were wearing leather armor made of demon whale skin, and there seemed to be a fishy smell of sea water on the body of that person, and if you looked closely, there was a thin layer of salt like white sand on the joint parts of the leather armor on those cavalry bodies. Such features appear on leather armor. Generally speaking, there are only three cases, or the leather armor is fished out of the sea. Either the leather armor was soaked in the sweat of the cavalry, or both.
When he saw St. Petersburg, the leader of the pair of cavalry suddenly stopped, and the cavalry behind him also stopped, and everyone, looking at St. Petersburg in the distance, which showed its outline, was shocked one by one.
In the first rays of the sun, the walls of the whole city were covered with white steel quarried from Mount Elcida, pure and white like the cleanest snow on the top of Mount Elcida, and the outline of the city showed a different kind of grandeur and power from the natural power of Mount Elcida, but it was no less shocking, created by human hands.
"This is St. Petersburg!" The leader of the cavalry turned his head, looked at the cavalry under his command, and said in a slightly heavier tone, "The city built by His Majesty Peter is also the capital of our Holy Kingdom of Iceland!" ”
The eyes of the cavalry all bloomed with a special brilliance, and at this time, looking at the city, many cavalrymen couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride in their hearts. A few years ago, this pride belonged only to their tribe, and now, when they see the city, the same pride swells in the hearts of these warriors.
The leader of the cavalry didn't say anything more, and as soon as his legs were clamped, the saber-toothed beast under him sprang out, and the cavalry behind followed one by one......
The cavalry galloped down the Marli River toward St. Petersburg, and then, in a matter of minutes, they were met by another group of horsemen who were also riding saber-toothed beasts, twice as numerous as they were, and were equally strong and better armed.
"Stop coming, report your identity!" The saber-toothed cavalry that was blocking them suddenly stopped when the two sides were 50 meters apart, and made a gesture of interception, and the officer of the saber-toothed cavalry raised his hand to stop the dusty cavalry from advancing again.
"I'm Haggs, the patriarch of the Sea Bear Tribe!" The leader of the dusty cavalry took out a token from his body, held it up, and loudly announced his identity, "I have an urgent military situation to go to St. Petersburg to meet Your Majesty!" ”
Hearing that there was an urgent military situation, and that the person who came was still the patriarch of the Sea Bear Tribe, the cavalry officer who blocked the way, after carefully verifying the identity of the group, not only got out of the way, but also personally opened the way, escorting the horse of the Sea Bear tribe towards St. Petersburg.
Under the escort of this group of cavalry, the cavalry team of the Sea Bear tribe really went all the way unimpeded, and after passing through the interception of the other two cavalry teams and a checkpoint, they finally arrived in St. Petersburg after more than forty minutes of running.
The city, when viewed from a distance and from a close distance, is completely two different sensations.
The design of St. Petersburg is very special, if you look at it from the sky, the shape of the city is like a snowflake with a special shape, and the whole periphery of the city is six huge diamond-shaped fortresses that are prominent and linked, and these six diamond-shaped fortresses are connected together. It was a standard hexagonal wall, and the gate to and from the city was on the hexagonal wall behind the two diamond-shaped battle fortresses.
Such a structure. Not only does St. Petersburg look very special and have a unique aesthetic, but more importantly, such design and construction also give the city a terrifying defense, and any attack on the city will face two battle fortresses and a powerful city defense weapon on three sides. And if the opponent wants to attack the battle fort, then, congratulations. This is exactly what the designers of this city wanted, because even if the other party paid a huge price to take a battle fortress, in the back, it would still crash headlong at the junction of the sharpest and strongest two walls of the six transformation walls that were higher than the battle fortress. It will be hit by the walls on both sides at the same time.
The cavalrymen of the Sea Bear tribe only felt that the design of St. Petersburg was full of mysteries. But at this time, these cavalrymen did not have time to take a closer look, and after entering the city through a city gate in the southeast, they rushed directly towards the Tsar's summer palace in the core of the city.
St. Petersburg is connected by six main roads, all of which are connected to the heart of the city.
In the heart of the city is the summer residence of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland.
In the Ice and Snow Wasteland, summer is the most beautiful and precious season, so. The man's abode was also the center of power in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. In the Ice and Snow Wasteland, it is also naturally called the summer palace.
The city is very lively, St. Petersburg has a population of more than two million, and on both sides of the main road where twelve cars can drive side by side, there are already many new buildings, and in some places new buildings are being built, and the whole city is full of prosperity and vitality.
The streets of St. Petersburg are lined not only by cars, but also by public transport on the ground.
Upon entering the city, all the cavalry automatically slowed down.
In St. Petersburg, except for the warriors of the Grey Temple and the Hammer of Thor, who can run on their mounts in the city, the only other people who are qualified to run on their mounts in the city are the honor guards of the patriarchs and elders of the various tribes of the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
When passing by the square outside the Gray Temple, the patriarch of the Sea Bear Tribe, Haggs, found that the Gray Temple seemed to be holding a grand ceremony today, and countless white-clothed priests and black-clothed priests of the Ancient God Sect gathered in the square outside the Gray Temple, where there was a sea of people, and everyone was solemnly and expectantly waiting for something.
"Is there going to be any ceremony here?" Haggs asked the officer who had escorted them here.
"His Majesty just enshrined Lord Maxim as the Patriarch of the Diocese of the Ewindalla Islands a few days ago, and this is the first Holy Mass held after Lord Maxim became Patriarch, so it attracted many clergy to come outside the Gray Temple early!" The officer replied in a respectful tone.
In the past few days, the cavalry of the Sea Bear Tribe has been running, and there is basically no contact with the outside world, and Haggs only knew at this time that in the past few days, the Ancient God Sect had given birth to the first patriarch other than the patriarch of several bear-level tribes, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
Maxim, Haggs, had heard that in less than four years, this person, as an ordinary priest, established the supremacy of the Cult of the Old Gods in the Evendara Islands, and developed countless followers for the Cult of the Ancients in the Evendara Islands, and even many wealthy dignitaries and parliamentarians in the Evendala Islands bowed to him, and he developed into priests and believers of the Cult of the Ancients.
Originally just a logistics clerk for a small tribe in the icy wasteland that people can't even remember the name of the tribe, Maxim really made him famous in the Ewindara Islands in his book "The Fountain of Divine Grace", a precious account that told and witnessed Peter's miracles and redemption in the underground ruins of the cracks of the Hydra Glacier.
At this moment, in the ancient god cult, in addition to the holy book "The Book of Eternity" of the ancient god religion, Maxim's "Divine Grace Like a Fountain" is almost the most favored book by all ancient god believers and followers.
Maxim was able to stand out in the competition in the Ewindalla Islands, of course, it was not as simple as a book and notes, this person must have strong skills and outstanding features, so that he could produce such results in such a short period of time, Haggs knew that from this day on, a powerful figure in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, which was hot and could even be on an equal footing with the patriarchs of several bear-level tribes, rose in St. Petersburg.
If not if there is something important. Haggs even wanted to stop and have a good relationship with the Patriarch of the first follower of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland from Peter, but thought about his own business. Haggs had no choice but to put the idea on hold, and made a quick move towards the summer palace.
Covering an area of more than 200 hectares, the entire summer palace is a miniature version of St. Petersburg, and in the neighborhoods closest to the summer palace, it has now become a gathering place for the powerful of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, full of high-ranking mansions, not only the wealthy of the Ewindalla archipelago vying to spend a lot of money here. Buying an industrial mansion, even the patriarchs and elders of several major bear-level tribes can be proud to have a castle or mansion around the summer palace.
The summer palace is heavily guarded. Those who defend the summer palace are the elites of the Gray Temple warriors and Thor's hammer.
The group from the Sea Bear Tribe stopped outside the summer palace, and after explaining their intentions, only Haggs, the patriarch of the Sea Bear Tribe, was able to enter the summer palace with two of his relatives. The rest of the warriors of the Sea Bear Tribe. They were all placed outside the summer palace and waited.
The summer palace is divided into a front palace and a harem, and in the front palace is the center of power of the Holy Icelandic Kingdom, and the office of the cardinal presbytery of the kingdom is also in the front palace.
Led by a former palace official, Haggs passed through layers of palace bans, and finally came to the cardinal hall where the cardinal elder group was located, and met several cardinal elders sitting in the cardinal hall at the moment.
The cardinal elders of the Holy Iceland Kingdom are all knight elders of various tribes, and the elders are concentrated in the cardinal hall at this moment. There were five of them.
In addition to the three elders of the Ice Giant Bear, the elders of the Iron Bear Tribe and the Wild Bear Tribe rushed over after receiving the news. Also in the Hall of Cardinals at this moment.
The five elders had been waiting for Haggs to arrive.
Haggs, who saw the five elders, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained to the five elders what he wanted to explain in a few words.
As soon as Haggs finished speaking, the five elders glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were both solemn and surprised, seeing that the high priest of Shalin nodded slowly, several elders stood up at once, and Elder Thor looked at Haggs, "You will go with us to meet Your Majesty, and explain the details of the Sea Bear Tribe's investigation to Your Majesty!" With that, Elder Thors' gaze turned to the two of Haggs's followers.
"These two are the bravest warriors of the Sea Bear Tribe, and this time, after they landed on the seaside, they personally went deep into the demon occupation area of the Blackson Terran corridor to reconnoitre, and they have the most detailed information! If His Majesty asked about something, the two of them knew best. Haggs hurriedly introduced.
Hearing Haggs's introduction, the two warriors of the Sea Bear tribe puffed up their chests, and were able to meet His Majesty Peter and show their faces in front of His Majesty, no warrior of that tribe would want to miss such an honor.
The elders stopped talking, but took Haggs and two warriors of the Sea Bear tribe and walked quickly out of the cardinal's hall, and after passing through a long palace cloister and a royal garden in the front palace, the group came to a palatial flower hall.
"Where's Majesty?" Elder Gulas asked a beautiful female officer waiting in the flower hall.
"Your Majesty is still resting!" The tall and plump female official in a purple court dress replied respectfully.
Although at this time, there was still an ancient profession of eunuch in the court in many places, but in the summer palace, there were no eunuchs, and the harem in the summer palace of the Holy Icelandic Kingdom was a female official system, and these female officials, as well as those palace maids, were all from various tribes in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and a small number of them also came from wealthy families in the Ewindalla Islands.
Still resting? Hearing this answer, several elders of Gulas smiled a little helplessly, it has been more than a month since His Majesty Peter returned to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and for more than a month, several elders have also heard of Peter's fashion path in the harem, and several elders did not expect that the sun has risen so high, and His Majesty Peter is still "resting".
In this regard, while letting the female official go in to make a confession, several elders and several people from the Sea Bear Tribe could only wait obediently in this flower hall.
After the tall and plump female official wearing a purple court dress left the flower hall, she entered the harem, and in a few minutes, she came to a golden and splendid dormitory.
Outside a room in the palace, several solemn palace maids and two female officials listened to the sound coming from the room, all of them flushed, and forced themselves to pretend to be calm and "stick" to their posts.
For more than a month, the moaning, crackling, and occasional high-pitched screams in the room almost never stopped, except for a few hours of silence in the middle of the night, except for a few hours in the middle of the night.
At first, only Queen Aurora entered the room, and after only two days, more and more ladies were recruited into the room.
For the ladies and ladies who had been serving outside Peter's bedchamber for more than a month, many of them were so familiar at this time that they could tell which lady was being pampered just by listening to the different moans in the room.
"Hasn't Majesty come out yet?" The tall and plump female officer came here and asked the other female officer in a low voice.
"Listen to ......," the red-faced female officer just gestured.
Just listened quietly for half a minute, and the face of the tall and plump female officer also showed a seductive flush.
There was a dense and loud crackling sound in the room, and underneath this sound, there was a room where the voice was like a cry.
"Who is this voice?"
"Lady Sabrina, who was brought to the dormitory last night!" The female officer replied.
Sabrina? Of course, this name was not unfamiliar to the plump and tall female official, but what she didn't expect was that this woman, whose reputation had been resounding in the ice and snow wasteland for many years, was actually crying like a girl who had just been in the middle of things.
"In the body of a mature woman, you can experience the freshness of conquering a girl, perhaps, this is how Lady Sabrina pleases His Majesty!" The female officer whispered, and there was a strong sense of envy in her tone.
"Several elders have important matters to ask to see Your Majesty!"
"According to the rules set by Queen Aurora for the harem, if the elders have something important to see, the female officials can go in at any time to report!"
The plump and tall female officer bit her lip, and finally mustered up the courage to walk to the door of the bedroom, opened the door and walked in.
Sabrina's voice stopped......
Two minutes later, the rope bell outside the room was finally sounded, and the palace maids and female officials waiting outside the room began to enter the room......
……
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie left the dormitory and walked towards the flower hall where the elders were waiting for him.
It has been more than a month since he completed the operation and left the Blackson Terran corridor, and in this past month or so, Zhang Tie estimated the time and knew that the real situation of the Blackson Terran corridor should also be detected by the outside world......
If the outside world didn't know what was going on in the Blackson Terran corridor by this time, then this holy war would not have to be fought. (To be continued......)
