Chapter 213: Kalralda, the City of Glory
The most intuitive way to see how powerful a country is is to see how prosperous its capital is, because it is here that the political and economic center is the most important.
Standing on a high ground with a wide view, the whole team could see the whole picture of most of the imperial capital, which was already very close to the entrance gate in front of it, and the gate at the foot of the mountain could already be seen along the road.
The team still couldn't help but choose to stay in this place, needless to say, the soldiers of Hajar City, but some of the people from Siwa City, including Kajimi, had never seen such a prosperous city.
Is this the city in the eastern part of the empire?
The suzerainty that dominates half of the desert kingdoms and the imperial capital of the Asta Empire.
"This is the imperial capital?" The team stopped, Wang Chu also flew back to the top of the carriage and stood, and Lucia in the carriage couldn't help but walk out.
It can be seen that it is the first time she has seen such a spectacular city, both the prosperity and the area are incomparable to Hajar City, and even if you have to compare, Wang Chu feels that Hajar City may be in the form of a village in front of it.
With the means of transportation on land, water, and air, and so many houses of various styles, there are more griffon knights and flying animals flying in the sky than there are in the sky above Hajar City.
"Well, this is Kalalda, the capital of the Empire, the City of Glory, I was a kid the last time I visited, and it seems to have become more prosperous in the past few years. Lias said from the side.
"Colleagues from Hajar City, as well as distinguished guests from Siwa City, I would like to welcome you first of all on behalf of the Imperial Capital...... Although I would love to show you more of the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital, we still have some way to go, and the king has arranged a banquet for all of you in the palace. Just as everyone was still marveling at the prosperity of the imperial capital, the leader of the royal cavalry heard a voice from the front.
He had been at the forefront of Edmund and Kajimi, and seemed to be talking all the way, but Wang Chu didn't know what they were talking about.
"Let's go, let's go. It's in a hurry. Hearing of the king's personal reception, all the soldiers did not dare to slack off and hurriedly took up their arms and hurried away.
Considering that the king's prestige among the people was very high, the name of the king was heart-warming.
The gate for the team to enter the city should belong to a side gate in the imperial capital, and as I thought, this road is a place to transport military materials, so after entering the city, the most I see are soldiers coming and going.
They are all fully armed, and they will stop neatly when they see the procession passing by.
Then he bowed to everyone and greeted everyone, because they were all wearing helmets and couldn't see what they looked like, Wang Chu could only judge from their figures, and some of the soldiers were still women.
At the same time, there are also well-trained beast summoners passing by.
The reason why he said that he was well-trained was because in Wang Chu's impression, in addition to the highly intelligent beast summoners, many ordinary beasts just retained their instincts as beasts, just like the salamanders he had encountered in the academy before, the two of them would not walk next to each other so neatly, and they would not shout at all.
It's still a different species, and it only makes a sound when it passes by the side of the line.
Wang Chu could understand that it was a very disciplined slogan such as 'forward' and 'keep an eye on the road ahead'.
"It turns out that summoning beasts can also train like this. Lias poked her head out and looked in amazement at the beasts passing by.
"I've never seen training like this before. "Both girls had their eyes on the body of the beast summoner, and to humans these beasts should have sounded just instinctive, because they were all saying a word, probably in a very close tone.
It already looks neat to them.
This situation can only appear in the imperial capital, the lazy people in Hajar City, and the leaders are all okay to take a nap and drink tea, don't expect it.
At the beginning, Vasera invited herself to the tea party of the beast summoners, and initially wanted to learn something about other things in the world from them, but then found out that there was probably so much they knew, especially after Vasera admitted that she had hidden some of them, even if she quit there completely.
Coming back from the desert without going to their tea party.
As for the news they told me that I don't know if it's true or not, it's better to ask Gu Liana Qiang yourself.
Looking ahead, Vasera was also in the group, and she had barely spoken to her alone since the events of the cathedral.
Listen to the admiring voices of the soldiers around you.
Only then did Wang Chu consciously look at the expressions on everyone's faces, especially those from Siwa City, a look of excitement and adoration.
Look around and look around.
Almost every building was lined with heavily armed soldiers.
This is the street of the city, even if it is a place for material transportation, since there are so many soldiers guarding it, there is no need for a group of soldiers to appear at a few intersections.
Vaguely, Wang Chu felt that this was deliberately arranged.
But what is the purpose...... He looked at the soldiers from Siwa, and they showed a serious sense of admiration.
Obviously, this is specially set up for the people of Siwa City, as for why, whether it wants to show the strength of the empire and deter or has another purpose, Wang Chu can't say for a while.
Recall the Empire's attitude towards the nations of the desert, starting with the appearance of General Dracula. It's like a bureau, and it's hard to figure out.
It stands to reason that Hajar City was attacked by the Midnight Suns, and it should be more concerned about this matter, which is a threat to national security.
Only then did she feel that what Gu Liana said was very final, she couldn't guess what Midnight Child did, people's hearts were the most difficult to guess, and even if she was older, she couldn't really figure out what the other party was thinking.
Follow the royal cavalry all the way.
This section of the neighborhood is really a transportation artery, there are no other residents except soldiers, beasts and carriages, and most of the buildings on both sides are also storage or houses where soldiers live, not residential houses.
It seems that it is intended to show Kajimi and the others that the empire has so many supplies and soldiers.
Wang Chu calculated the time, and it took almost an hour or two from the time he entered the city to the time he walked out of the street.
This street is really horribly long.
The style of the buildings has changed, becoming more exaggerated and grandiose.
"We're almost there, and there's the Imperial Palace in front of us. A voice came from the direction of the leader.
Everyone was busy sorting out their clothes.
Wang Chu followed his line of sight, a relatively high place in the city, surrounded by a moat, like a huge island in the canal.
The entire island is a complex of buildings, with roads extending from the streets to bridges and gates across the river.
It zigzags all the way to the top of the building.
The team walked in, and the soldiers on either side began to sound their horns.
