Chapter 460: Stepping into Another Country
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Sindal Empire.
One of the oldest surviving maritime powers, the earliest time was indeed the place where pirates from all over the sea were formed, Sindar originally had the meaning of a trade area in the ancient language of the Eastern Kingdom, and the country was only a comprehensive trade area of pirates from all over the world at the beginning, and gradually continued to grow and develop before integrating into the territory of today's empire.
Since the primitive pirates each had their own organization and fleet, the empire had the habit of being ruled by various armies from the very beginning.
Because there was a common enemy from the outside, four stronger forces united to form the supreme ruling court, and people from four places participated together, and each time a king was elected, because of the mutual containment relationship, everyone still listened to the king's arrangement on the surface.
But the major cities in each place are siloed, so the country, although it is called an empire, can also be described as the United Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this special reason that each region will have its own subordinate sphere of influence, and the one near the ocean is of course the island, to put it bluntly, the pirate team of the year, they did not live on the mainland but chose to occupy a certain island to live, as the leader of this force, they are responsible for protecting the sea transportation channels, in order to protect their own forces to survive.
The current blockage of sea routes is fatal for those who live on the island, which is equivalent to cutting off their way of life.
........................
Dragon?It seems that there's been a lot of talk about this ancient creature lately.
Hardir has also heard it in his daily work, especially in the last few days, the news has been spread in the streets and alleys, especially the news that he has just experienced a tragic victory in the wilderness war, and the total annihilation of the army means that hundreds of thousands of troops have died in other places, which is the biggest blow to the southern region.
However, the presence of the dragon exacerbated this sense of panic.
"What kind of rumors, adjutant. Again, Hardir asked that rumours are deadly in times of grief and can easily create distrust among the population, especially in the military, and Sindar is a country ruled by warlords, and if the army is unstable, it is a fatal blow to the ruler.
"It's all gossip, Commander. ”
"The military spirit of the city is often shaken in this gossip, it's okay, just say it. ”
Today's Hardir looks calmer than usual, this is an important day, and welcoming his father's relics back means that he has officially inherited the southern region of the Sindar Empire among the people, and everyone will talk about their affairs today in private.
And as the eldest son of the family, it is also necessary for him to behave more like an heir.
"The appearance of the dragon was first seen by the civilians on the island, and it was rumored in the city that the appearance of the dragon represented a disaster since ancient times, and now because of the abnormal waves, many people have begun to believe such a statement. The adjutant said.
"If you hear such a rumor next time, order the guards who defend the city to take down the people who spread it, and lock them up for a few days without punishment, and if they do it again next time, the punishment will be increased. Hardir ordered.
This kind of disturbing remarks would rather catch the mistake than let go of one, but he has just taken over the post of commander-in-chief, and it is not suitable for him to punish a large number of criminals for the time being, otherwise it will be easy for several warlords to find an excuse to talk about things.
"Yes, Commander. Everything is as you want it to be. ”
The team continued to wait at the port, and not many people were brought today.
According to the custom of the eastern residents, a large number of people should not be gathered to greet the funeral, so they did not bring those eye-catching honor guards over, but prepared a few carriages, and then arranged the troops back by the adjutant.
It is said that hundreds of soldiers of the Sindar Empire have returned from the battlefield, and those who survived such a terrible battle deserve to be rewarded.
"Have you all arranged the rewards for the soldiers? He asked again.
"It's all ready, Commander. Soldiers who return this time can be promoted, regardless of size, and there are additional gifts. ”
"Well, they are the soldiers who accompanied my father on his last expedition, and they should be settled, and if they are injured and want to quit the military, I hope that my father's name will remain the pride of the people of the South for decades to come. Hardir said.
"Of course, the name of Commander Legolas will always be remembered by the inhabitants of the South. ”
The line has been waiting.
It wasn't until the sunset fell above the sea level that Wang Chu finally saw the port at the bow of the ship.
This port is estimated to be larger than the one in the imperial capital of the Asta Empire, and there are also many ships parked, and a few of them have steel decks, which should belong to warships, but a few of them will stay there!
Is this a military port and a civilian port at the same time? Is this quite close to the people, or are these ships just a fleet to protect the port?
"This is the city of Versailles, it's pretty big. Lias and Lucia came to the front to look, it is estimated that neither of them has ever been out of the Asta Empire, and they are still full of curiosity about other countries.
It's true that the clothes here are different from those of the Asta Empire.
Probably because of the hot weather, Wang Chu saw that many people were wearing tulle clothes, especially women, who felt that a few long gauze scarves were wrapped around their bodies.
But the strange thing is that their skin is very fair, and they still maintain such white skin in the same hot weather.
is different from the logic that Wang Chu knows.
"The city of Versailles is one of the most port cities in the Eastern Kingdoms, and it is quite wealthy. "As a native of the eastern countries, Cristiana also knows the cities of various places.
It can be seen that such a large port and the ships coming and going can see that the tax money alone is a great fortune.
"That's not all, if we catch up with the large number of ships coming in, we will have to queue up to enter the port...... Well, it's strange to say, how do we feel that the fleet has become less than the fleet after a few days in Bavaria, and now is the time to unload. The captain of the port, who looked at the smooth road, said curiously.
As the flotilla entered the harbor, the guide led the flotilla to another docking point, where there were few other vessels.
Yo, it's still a special stop, it seems that they were notified in advance.
At the stop, a pair of centaurs were waiting on the shore, led by a young man with blond hair and a thin face that looked very much like Legolas's mold from a distance, and it was clear at a glance that they were his offspring.
"We're almost there, Anwina, you'll follow us later. When he landed, Wang Chu did not forget to remind An Wenna.
But I saw that there seemed to be some hesitation in the other party's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Great Teacher, ...... There are so many people. ”
"Hey, aren't there just a few more people, what are you afraid of, you're an elf ranger, and no one will pay attention to you with this trench coat specially given to you. ”
Since the elves are too noticeable among humans, and Anwenna has never been to a big human city, she asked Lias to prepare a refreshing green trench coat for her.
It was quite large, and the hood on her head could completely hide her slender ears.
