Chapter 140: The Wall of the Imperial Capital
The more pedestrians walked towards the imperial capital, the more pedestrians came, so much so that even Wayne, under the banner of aristocrats, was stuck on the road for five days.
The Imperial Capital is sandwiched between the two Titans in front and behind, and the Grani Fortress Pass. Wayne entered the pass from Titan, and the canal of the empire flowed in front of Xiongguan. Wayne had to pass over an embankment that spanned a canal more than 20 meters wide. Many ships carrying goods from the northwest to the imperial capital would stop here to unload their cargo.
Wayne could also see that it was clearly made by Nolan, and the large box was presumably made of ceramics or glass. There were also necessities such as grain, forage, and so on brought in from the east.
Walking across the embankment, it is several hundred meters long and wide along the horizon of the plain.
Walking across the plain is a high raised dirt slope with various types of defenders and newly equipped artillery. And in the Iron Shield Legion of the Great Prince's faction, the Falcon Legion is stationed here. This is also the reason why Wayne entered the imperial capital from here.
The news of Wayne's arrival reached the hands of the two legion commanders early, and they saw the Eagle Banner hunting in the air. He ordered his subordinates to quickly clear out the merchants who were still walking slowly on the road to make way for Wayne.
Two Legion Commanders also greeted him personally, one was Mars, the Iron Shield Legion Commander who participated in the Battle of Vasser, and the other was also the famous Stanley.
The two legion commanders saluted Wayne before they sat down and talked as they mounted.
Wayne was also very face-saving, riding outside the car and greeting the two generals.
"Stanley, as expected, lives up to his name. ”
"Hahaha, Master Wayne is also extraordinary. ”
"Mars hasn't seen the province for more than half a year, and the province has become more and more tough. ”
"Young Master Wayne, what are these words, tough that describes the old man. I, Mars, think I'm much better than the old men who walk on crutches. ”
If Mars and Wayne still knew each other, Stanley and Wayne had never even met. But the relationship of interests makes these three people like old friends who have been separated for a long time, and they have endless words to talk about.
Wayne said apologetically.
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. I don't know if the two generals can reveal to me the situation in the imperial capital, and let me make some preparations. ”
Mars and Stanley looked at each other.
Mars said.
"Young Master Wayne, you just need to prepare for the marriage in peace, and His Royal Highness Rodriguez will arrange other things for you. ”
It seems that the two are reluctant to tell themselves.
"Then please leave it to the two generals. ”
Stanley said.
"That's right, I hope Master Wayne will give me a set of armor when I go back. It's better than Mars. ”
Stanley smoothly diverted the topic and did not let the field cool down.
On the wide road between the high slopes on both sides, the chatter and laughter of the three people continued to echo.
At the end, Stanley and Mars stopped abruptly, as if an invisible force was restricting their movements, preventing them from taking a step forward.
"Master Wayne, we can only send it here, and we hope for courtesy. ”
Stanley bowed apologetically.
Wayne replied.
"Understood. ”
If a Stanley dares to step into the imperial capital, the four princes will be the first to get the news. At that time, if the four princes thought of a bad way, the other two legions would be able to rush into the imperial capital immediately. When the time comes, the eldest prince will also move troops, and he will not be able to stand it without a bloody killing.
After saying goodbye to the two, Wayne led the convoy and continued to walk towards the imperial capital that looked like a hill in front of him.
After a short journey, Wayne finally saw the legendary imperial capital, with its towering walls and gates that could accommodate three carriages. There is even a prismatic castle built on the periphery of the city walls in imitation of Nolan. Part of it has already been formed, and artillery has been placed on it. However, the protruding part of the prismatic castle has been changed from a pointed head to a round head, which puzzles Wayne.
What made Wayne feel the profound heritage of the Dao Empire was to see a layer of dirt rise out of thin air, forming the foundation of the city wall. Magic! There are magicians building walls, and there is more than one magician! In this era of scarcity, this is simply a luxury. Even for the royal Creon family, it was a luxury, and Wayne wondered. Is it necessary for them to be in such a hurry?
There was a group of people who had been waiting for a long time at the city gate, led by Nils and his eldest son Harry. Behind him are the seven dukes, and the marquis, viscounts, and barons who can't come up to the table are also preparing to mingle with Wayne.
Next to Wayne's left hand was Hinderson, who was already excited, and when he saw the familiar voice in front of him, his hand gripping the reins couldn't help but tighten.
And when Balde saw the long-lost imperial capital, he couldn't help the thoughts in his heart, not knowing that his eldest brother and mother were in the crowd in front of him.
Evans was far behind, and he shouldn't have anything to do today. A small head peeked out of the front carriage window. Audrey also saw the place she couldn't wait to leave a year ago.
The wide, sun-drenched gates seemed to Audrey like a swarthy entrance to hell, and she wondered if she would be able to return safely. But there is the father he misses the most. After all, my father should have used that magic array at this time. It should be much healthier, but it is only a short month. It was too short for Audrey to have a good conversation with her father.
Nils looked at the convoy coming from afar, his expression was a little trance, his son who used to be the most troublesome was now the pride of the Nils family.
Wait for Wayne to make a noble salute in Nils and whisper.
"Father. ”
Nils came to his senses and said calmly.
"You're finally looking like a man now. ”
Wayne replied nonchalantly.
"But I'm still far behind my father. ”
"But you are much stronger than I was back then, and the good news about you has always been ringing in my ears all year after year. Even His Majesty the Emperor has always praised you in front of me. Licked a lot of light for the family. ”
Nils said coldly.
"Because of it. ”
Wayne turned slightly and bowed slightly to Harry respectfully.
"I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I miss it very much. ”
Harry's treatment and status have plummeted in the past few days, all caused by the younger brother in front of him, and he has an urge to kick Wayne to the ground. But he held back, and if he did, he would be driven back to his hometown by his father, and he would never have a chance to turn over.
Said lightly.
Wayne was lucky. ”
Hinderson could feel the strangeness of the old man and the young master when they met, although he desperately wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, but he must not say a word more, this is the rule.
Wayne thought about the heads of the families behind him one by one.
Hinderson stepped forward and said excitedly.
"Sir, I have lived up to your entrustment and brought Master Wayne back. ”
Nils immediately hugged Hinderson, who was about to kneel, and comforted him.
"Wayne's glory today is also due to you. ”
