The expeditionary army made its way north, crossed the plains, crossed the hills, crossed the river, and finally left the southwestern province and entered the province of Shengyao.

Geographically, the province is located in the center of the kingdom of Bimon, which is guarded by four provinces, and the center of its core is where the sacred land of the Bimon beast tribe is located, Ugru, where the kingdom of Bimon has established its royal capital for hundreds of years.

The scenery of Shengyao Province is very different from that of the Southwest Province, which is full of large plains and grasslands, numerous rivers that gave birth to a glorious civilization of Bimon, and countless cities and villages along the way, which can be called the essence of the kingdom.

Although it was the middle of winter, the main road leading to Ugru was gradually crowded with riders, horsemen galloping horses, noble convoys and gray camel merchants chasing profits.

Wanderers, bards, and down-and-out mercenaries mingle in search of opportunities in their favorite heavenly sanctuaries.

The holy land of Uglu is like a huge magnet that attracts people's attention, and it is said that the huge royal capital gathers millions of people, and it is also one of the few giant cities in the entire Glorious Continent.

However, no matter how many pedestrians there were on the road, no one dared to stop the footsteps of the expeditionary force, and in front of the battle banner of the kingdom, no matter whether the commoners and nobles had to avoid it, everyone understood that the passage of the army must be guaranteed.

However, many towns on the road provided a lot of supplies for the expeditionary force, and the kingdom set up special post station supply points along the way to ensure the full supply of materials for the expeditionary force.

Nearly a month after leaving Tormund, an expeditionary force of 50,000 men from the Southwestern Province arrived in the Holy Land of Uglo, at the Acropolis fortress Lionheart, fifty miles from the royal capital.

Lionheart's Fort was the largest and most important military fortress in Uglo, founded by the three hundred young Lionheart King Pecock Rhine, who defeated the invading barbarian and Terran armies here, thus establishing his reputation.

Fort Lionheart is very large, garrisoned by 50,000 garrisons, with more than 100,000 permanent residents, and because of its location, Fort Lionheart has also become a gathering place for expeditionary forces in the three major provinces.

In order to meet the army of more than 100,000 in the three provinces, the kingdom has already set up enough camps around Lionheart Fort, so when the army of the southwest province arrives, there is no need to do it yourself, and it can be stationed in it immediately.

The expeditionary force will also be reorganized and re-equipped here, and then go to the front line of the Far North Province.

Since the expeditionary force of the southwestern province was the first to arrive, the soldiers still had plenty of time to rest.

As the elite of the expeditionary force, the camp of the Third War Regiment was the best in terms of facilities and supplies, and the Reading Brigade led by Leon also followed suit and moved into a makeshift wooden barracks, which was much cleaner and warmer than an open-air tent.

As soon as the Reading Brigade had settled down, Count Octavia visited the barracks.

After a month of rigorous training, the military appearance of the Reading Force Brigade was impeccable, and the five hundred new soldiers were much stronger, revealing the fierce spirit that the beast clan should have.

The Count was very pleased with this, and praised Leon a few words.

"Baron Leon, this is your first time in Uglu, aren't you?" asked the Count finally and kindly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he smiled and said, "Our third regiment is the main battle group, so it is not in the reorganization of the kingdom, so from now on, you will have at least two weeks of vacation. ”

"If you have time, go to the Holy Land and worship the Holy Mountain Temple!"

Gathering more than 100,000 troops to expedition to the far north, even the Bimon Kingdom, which has been fighting all year round, has to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, it is essential to reorganize the armament in advance, and logistics support and preparation are indispensable.

That's why the kingdom will issue a conscription order in the winter, and wait until the conscription troops of the three major provinces are assembled and ready to set off for the front line, at least it will take a month or two, which is just in time for the spring that is conducive to the Northern War.

The climate of the Arctic Ice Sheet is not comparable to that of the Southern Continent.

Leon's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the high priest of Faens when he mentioned the temple, and since he had come to Ugru, it was inevitable that he would not visit this elder who had helped him a lot.

However, Leon was not in a hurry to leave for the royal capital.

He stayed in the camp to supervise the training of the Reading Power Brigade, and after a few days to see that there were no problems, he entrusted it to Rock Hammer to continue, and he changed into civilian clothes and rode lightly, and took Rose with him to the holy place that the Beamon beast clan longed for the most.

As the footsteps approached, the king of the Holy City, Ugru, gradually revealed his true face to Leon.

The heart of the Beamon Beast Clan sits on an open plain, with majestic mountains on its west side, and a large river roaring south along the foothills.

The rivers bring abundant water to the plains, and there are evergreen forests rare in the northern plains, and farmland along the rivers is full of farms, even though it is not yet the spring planting season, and there are already many farmers working in the fields.

Along the road to the north, the closer you get to the royal capital, the more prosperous it becomes, and the farmland on both sides of the road is replaced by large buildings, and the population is even denser.

Like most of the continent's large cities, the royal capital of Uglu was divided into an inner city and an outer city, with the inner city actually being built as a city, but after hundreds of years of development, the original design was far from being able to meet the needs of the influx of people, so it flourished on the outskirts of the city.

It is said that the number of inhabitants living in the outer city is four or five times that of the inner city, and there are also countless farms, workshops, market shops and civilian areas, and all kinds of materials from all parts of the kingdom and local production are continuously imported into the inner city through the outer city, supporting thousands of nobles, priests, and royal family members in the royal capital... Further back, the outline of the real royal capital appeared in front of Leon's eyes, and the legendary holy mountain lifted the veil of mystery to him!

The sacred mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is a square boulder standing on the plain, it is several miles long and hundreds of feet high, and its whole body is dark red.

Legend has it that the sacred mountain is the place where the beast god Opa lit the divine fire.

The entire royal capital was actually built around the Holy Mountain, and on top of the Holy Mountain, there was the Supreme Temple and the Beamon Palace, one east and one west, with the Divine Fire Pillar as the dividing line, representing the two supreme powers that controlled the Beamon Beast Clan.

For thousands of years, the sacred flame at the top of the sacred fire pillar standing on the sacred mountain has never been extinguished, and all Beamon believes that as long as the sacred flame is not extinguished, Beamon will never perish.

And the huge royal capital, just the majestic city walls, is enough to make the people who see it awe-inspiring.

In front of such a city full of legends, even the most powerful samurai had to bow their heads high.

With an indescribable feeling, Leon and Rose entered the inner city, the true royal capital of Ugru.

There is no doubt about the prosperity of Uglu, which can be called the political, military and cultural center of the entire Bimon Kingdom, the highest place of royal power and divine power, with many nobles, knights and priests everywhere, and countless famous families and wealthy merchants.

The kingdom's Knight Academy, Shaman's Academy, Mercenary Guild Headquarters... and so on, all set up in the inner city, the prosperity is indescribable.

The most impressive thing is the forest-like tower standing in the royal capital, with sharp spires piercing the sky, and the sacred fire pillar on the holy mountain complements each other.

The streets of the kingdom were wide enough for seven or eight carriages to pass at the same time, but even then the roads were very crowded, and the crowds were so bustling that Leon and Rose entered them like water dripping into the sea, and were instantly submerged and swallowed up.

Here you can see reserved nobles, arrogant knights, fat-headed and big-eared merchants, down-and-out wandering mercenaries, and many ordinary orcs, mammoths, butterflies, snakes... Many ethnic groups, which are rare elsewhere, abound.

"There are so many people here..."Rose grabbed Leon's arm tightly, for fear of getting lost in the sea of people.

After going to Tormond, she thought she had seen the most prosperous city in the world, but when she arrived here, she realized that it was just a small thing.

The girl was glad that she had made up her mind to run out with Leon, otherwise she really didn't know when she would be able to come here and show her eyes.

"Actually, I've seen a more prosperous city than this..."The scene in front of him made Leon feel a little.

In his original world, there were not cities with millions of people, but tens of millions of people, and the scale was absolutely unimaginable to people in this world.

"More prosperous cities" The girl was a little speechless: "I can't imagine what that would be like." ”

Leon smiled: "Don't talk about this, let's find a hotel to stay in first, anyway, there is plenty of time, I will take you here to have a good look in the next few days, and go to the holy mountain to worship the temple." ”

"Okay—" Rose rested her head gently on Leon's shoulder.

Since that night, the relationship between the two has suddenly become much closer, and she is also a lot softer in front of Leon, like a girl in love.

Naturally, there are no fewer hotels in the royal capital, but the hotels next to the main street are very old, and the copper signboards hanging outside can be seen to have a history of many years.

Leon found a few and asked, but it was already booked out if it was not full.

The steward of one of the inns kindly told Leon that it was difficult to book a hotel in the royal capital without a reservation, but it was much easier in the outer city.

Leon was really a little unconvinced, and asked four or five hotels in a row, and the reply was similar.

However, his luck was not bad, and when he asked about the seventh inn, a couple of guests had just checked out and left, and the steward offered to give him the house.

And the astonishing price of up to 220 gold coins a night also allowed Leon to see another side of this super city.
