Chapter 120

If there is one word to describe the dìdū of Osgilia in the Byzantine Empire, then this word must be:

Marvel!

Hundreds of years ago, there was a famous poet in the continent, when he came to Osgilia for the first time, he made this feeling: When you stand in front of it, you will find that all your words, all your flowery words, seem so pale at this moment! At this moment, my only impulse is to kneel, prostrate on the ground, and kiss this earth, this miracle city built by mankind with the most awe and fear!!

The first time I saw this city of miracles, I was shocked by the impression I had on the turtle.

The most straightforward sensory shock! This shock is like a bucket of cold water poured on the head! People instantly seem to be washed over the whole body by a force, every nerve, every hair seems to stand up, that kind of excitement and excitement impulse, will make you have an inexplicable excitement and impulse, make you can't help but want to crawl on the ground, cheering and praising for the miracle in front of you.

That's how Char feels at the moment.

His mouth was as open as if he could swallow an egg, and his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes!

The location of Osgilia is located right on the seashore of the Byzantine Empire's inland sea.

Its topography resembles a giant peninsula jutting out of the sea from the entire continent. It is as if when the gods created this world, they deliberately cut off a piece of the original mountain peak on this peninsula jutting out of the sea, so that the entire small land that protrudes into the sea becomes a half-hillside terrain.

The whole of Osgilia was built on such a blessed environment. As a peninsula jutting out into the sea, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, but only one side of the south side is a flat beach, and the other two sides are steep cliffs tens of meters high...... It seems that the rulers of the empire still thought that this was not safe, and still built a huge wall on the cliff with a height of 20 meters and a width of 10 meters!

The walls are made of polished stone into a square shape, and it is said that each stone weighs at least hundreds of kilograms. The highest part of the city wall, if you calculate the drop from the sea under the cliff, even reaches more than 100 meters!

And that's not even the most majestic place.

On the west side of the peninsula leading to the mainland, a massive wall, considered the most spectacular on the mainland, slices the peninsula and the mainland into two parts, and is where the main entrance to Osgilia is located. The average height of the city wall is thirty meters, and the highest point reaches fifty meters! This side of the city wall is several miles long, and there are a total of twelve city gate exits on this wall, and in the middle of it is the famous triumphal city gate on the mainland, under which at least ten carriages can be accommodated!

The twelve gates, each in the shape of a round arch, are full of Byzantine architectural style, and the city gates are full of the most magnificent and spectacular carvings, carving the statues of the outstanding heroes of the Byzantine Empire on the city walls of the city gates, as if one by one ancient heroes watched over this continental hero. The tower's dome was surrounded by four towering towers, each at least ten meters in diameter, to accommodate enough soldiers to guard the gates.

At this moment, in Char's eyes, what he saw was the wall of the western side of Osgilia facing the mainland!

His first reaction was: This is not a city wall at all, but a mountain on the horizon with no end in sight!

As far as the eye can see, the city walls are full of flying flags, and the huge city wall stones of pure green sè are piled up there, like a sleeping monster...... Under the sun, it even makes people feel a sense of sacredness and awe.

Char's shock lasted for a quarter of an hour, and when he came back to his senses, he was still staring at the majestic mountain-like wall in the distance, and muttered, "Hell...... How many years did it take Byzantium to build such a large city......"

"Forty years. He didn't know when he rode to Char's side, and along the way, he already knew that this Mr. Char was coming to Osgilia for the first time, and even knew that Char was not a Byzantine. The fat man looked at Osgilia in the distance, although this was not the first time he had been here, but Lantis was still shocked in his heart, and he answered Char's question in a low voice: "The Byzantine Empire spent forty years to build this most majestic city of continental wonders! And that only gave the city walls a preliminary scale, and after it was built, it took them more than two hundred years to make the city what it is today!" After six dynasties and more than a dozen generations of emperors, the city finally became what it is today. ”

Char took a cool breath.

Two hundred and forty years...... "Let's go! Let's go in through the Arc de Triomphe." The first time you came to Osgilia, if you didn't go to see the Arc de Triomphe, it would be a regret in your life!" Gu Luo smiled: "The first time I passed through the Arc de Triomphe, I almost lost my eyes. ”

After a long day of advancing towards the city, the group finally reached the bottom of the city walls...... What Char put in front of him is another miracle!

In front of us is a big river! To be precise, a river dug out by hand!

According to Guluo, hundreds of years ago, a Byzantine emperor ordered that this peninsula of Osgilia be completely chiseled in the direction of Osgilia along the line of !! city wall, and carved into an artificial river ten miles long!!

The banks of this man-made river are paved with marble, the riverbed is 10 meters deep, and it took 16 years to excavate it. The estuary at both ends brought in seawater, turning the artificial river into a moat to the west of Osgilia.

And the narrowest part of this moat is also fifty meters wide, and the widest place even reaches more than 100 meters!

A total of 12 stone bridges were built along the artificial river under the 12 gates of the western wall to connect the two banks! The narrowest of them was 10 meters wide, and the widest one, the one leading to the Arc de Triomphe, was 50 meters wide!

Twelve huge stone bridges make it a trip to the twelve links between the peninsula and the mainland.

So to speak...... If these twelve bridges are cut off, then Osgilia, it can even be said that it will become an island surrounded by water!

Char followed the caravan to the other side of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, and after hundreds of years of operation, a small market town has been formed on this end of the bridge, but the liveliness of this town has far exceeded that of Wildfire Town...... When he finally came to the west bank of the bridge, looking at the bridge in front of him, which was tens of meters wide, Char was stunned again!

The bridgehead on the west bank had two towers where a battalion of Imperial infantry was stationed, and judging by their bright armor and weapons, they were very well equipped, tall and erect. The wide bridge is already full of pedestrians, cars, and horses, and the bridge deck is paved with huge square stones, and the guardrails next to it are made of round columns and stones.

When the caravan went up the bridge, he showed the defenders the passage documents, and then slowly moved forward in the crowd, Char was able to carefully watch the scenery on both sides, the bridge under his feet was a wide artificial river on both sides, the bridge deck was close to several meters away from the river arches, the 100-meter-long bridge was erected on the artificial river with more than ten huge stone beams, the river water was turquoise, obviously the introduced seawater, and there were actually some small boats on the river to patrol back and forth, judging from the flags hoisted on the boats, they were obviously army patrol boats.

There are canals on both sides, and from a distance, you can barely see the outlines of other bridges and gates in the distance, but the distance is too far to see really, but even so, it is enough to make people shocked.

When he walked across the stone bridge and stood under the Arc de Triomphe, Char finally sighed again - although he had seen too much before, his ability to bear it had improved a lot, but the first time he saw the Arc de Triomphe, he would still be stunned.

There are three arches under the Arc de Triomphe Gate, and the middle one is as high as 50 meters, and when you stand in the gate and look up, you will even have the illusion that such a tall gate is not intended for human walking, but for the legendary gods.

Above the huge round city gate, the four towers on the city tower seem to be straight into the clouds, and the various flags float on the top of the tall round city tower, and on both sides of the city gate, the auxiliary towers on both sides of the outer city protrude...... All this adds up to the certainty that once war comes, every tower can be turned into a military fortress in the shortest possible time - and the most difficult to conquer!

"In the history of the Byzantine Empire, there was once a legendary commander who had achieved great military achievements and said: Even if I am given an army of one million and unlimited logistical supplies, it will definitely be a nightmare for me to conquer this majestic city!"

Char's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the fat man.

At this time, Char, who had just walked out of the Arc de Triomphe, was riding on his horse when he heard a familiar voice in the distance.

"Aha! You little turtle, I've been waiting for you for so many days, but I've waited for you!!"

Char looked around, and saw that not far from the left, there were several samurai in light armor of the army standing in the crowd, and in the middle of the crowd was a fat man, who had a meaty face and a bulging belly, but had a strange smile on his face. Standing on the street, laughing right in front of Char.

"General Ruhr!" Char immediately jumped off the horse and strode through the crowd, and when he arrived in front of him, Lul grabbed Char's shoulder and slapped him in the chest: "Damn, it took so many days for this guy to arrive, but Lao Tzu is in a hurry!"

Char looked at Ruhr, this guy took off his army attire, wore a light aristocratic samurai robe, and wore a large ruby ring on his finger, polished leather boots, as if a noble lord was traveling.

Ruhl looked at Rantis and the Wolf Tooth Warrior Regiment behind Char, and the rabbit general frowned slightly: "Lantis, how did you get mixed up with a group of pirates?" ”

Char smiled: "...... met on the road Well, it's you, it seems that you seem to be angry, and you are a lot fatter than when you were separated. ”

Ruer's face suddenly fell, and he gave a fierce "phew", pulled Char to the side, and said in a low voice: "Damn! Lao Tzu has not died of tea and rice recently, and he is almost so worried that he is about to commit suicide! This time he is really unlucky to get home! After Lao Tzu returned to Dìdū, the military headquarters actually issued an order that made me almost not scared to death!"

"What?"

"General Ben, me!" Ruhl straightened his chest and made a vicious look: "My post as general of the Sixth Corps has been revoked! The military headquarters has ordered me to transfer to other units! I am now in a new official position...... Be...... It's the fucking commander of the 13th Cavalry Corps! Do you understand? Boy! Now that Lao Tzu is your top boss, Lao Tzu will be a new generation of generals, that is, ...... It's the new leader of the Rhodria cavalry regiment!"

Char froze, his expression became very strange, as if it took a lot of strength to suppress the urge to exclaim, his voice was a little hoarse, and he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "You...... You mean, you, you've taken the place of General Adric? You're ......."

The arrogant look on the fat man's face immediately collapsed, and he grabbed the fat on his face helplessly: "I don't know if the people in the military department have made a mistake in their brains! Lao Tzu's nickname is General Rabbit! Actually let me command the 13th Corps?!"

"Rabbit...... Command...... A pack of lions ......" Char rolled her eyes.

He immediately remembered something: "That...... What about General Adric?"

"He?" Ruhl cursed in a low voice, "Your former boss is in a lot of trouble this time......

Char's eyes immediately widened, and Ruer hurriedly held him down: "Don't worry! He's been promoted! He's now appointed as the deputy minister of military affairs! With this promotion, he can now be regarded as the number two person in the emperor's ** team-well, if it's purely from the position." ”

"Promoted?" Char didn't react to the trouble, but when he learned that Adric had been promoted, Char was relieved, he smiled and refocused his attention on Ruhl: "Ah, in this way, you are now my immediate boss......! I'm a little confused, aren't you...... You guy, can you command the 13th Cavalry Corps well? You are quite good at escaping, but how ......can you fight?"

Ruhl was furious and glared at Char: "Shut up, you kid! I'm your boss now! Be careful that I remove you from your post and send you to take charge of the coolie camp!"

But then the fat man sighed, glanced at Char, and said in a low voice: "I am in a hurry to wait for you here because of this...... Hmph, I knew that the first time you came to Osgiria, you would definitely go through the Arc de Triomphe, and all those who came to Osgilia for the first time would do it. ”

After a pause, General Rabbit sighed: "I would like to be your boss, but now it seems that it is impossible for you to continue to stay in the Thirteenth Corps." ”

"......" Char was stunned.

He was a little dissatisfied in his heart - he didn't have any sense of belonging to this empire, and the only sense of belonging was pinned on those brothers of the 13th Corps, asking him to leave the 13th Corps and go to other units to serve this empire?

Lao Tzu didn't have that much spare work!

If you really transferred me to another place, Lao Tzu took off this skin and went home to be a hunter.

Ruer is so smart, he is familiar with Char's spleen again, as soon as he sees this little guy's eyebrows, he knows the other party's thoughts, and he quickly reassures Char: "This is not necessarily a bad thing." Let's talk about this later, you first say goodbye to your companion, and then go back with me, and I will explain it to you carefully slowly. ”

Char also knew that this lively street was not the place to talk, he went back to say hello to Gu Luo, Gu Luo smiled and saluted Char: "Lord Char, it is really our honor to be able to pass with you along the way, no matter what, please don't forget, there is also a friend of yours named Gu Luo in the Gallens Chamber of Commerce." Hehe, we're going to the stronghold of the Rigarens Chamber of Commerce in Osgilia, if you have time, please settle down, be sure to send someone to send me a message, everyone has been together all the way, and we are finally friends. ”

Char simply agreed, and Gu Luo told him the address of the Gallensian merchant group in the dìdū stronghold - in fact, it was okay not to say it, their merchant group was very famous, and it could be found in dìdū with a little inquiry.

After Gu Luo and his party left, Alfrecat also walked up and took the initiative to say to Char: "Lord Char, let's go to the warrior guild of the competition to sign up first, and then we will find a place to stay." If nothing else, we'll stay at the old lighthouse inn in the south of the city, near the docks, which is very famous near the docks, and you can always send someone to find me. ”

Char nodded, and after writing down the address very seriously, he said, "Okay, don't worry, after I stay, I will definitely send someone to inform you tomorrow." ”

The people of the Lantis and the Wolf Tooth Warrior Regiment left, but General Ruhr has been standing far away and not approaching, he is a high-ranking general in the army, and he is a noble title, so he naturally has some arrogance and faction.

When the men had left, Ruhl led Char on horseback.

"I'll tell you, boy, you're in a bit of trouble this time. On the way, Ruhr couldn't wait to explain to Char: "His Majesty the Emperor has conveyed an order, once you go to report, let you enter the palace immediately to meet you! His Majesty the Emperor will receive you in person...... I can't tell if that's a good thing or not. Well, hopefully it's a good thing, after all, you killed Bonfret's little white face. But...... Entering the palace is also dangerous, you have to be careful of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been living in his palace in the eastern suburbs recently, so he may not run into you. ”

After a pause, looking at Char's indifferent expression, Ruhl sighed: "These are not the most important things, the important thing is ...... There is a person who has sent to inform me and told me a matter, and as soon as you come to dìdū, he will take you to see him immediately, and this person will take a good look at you. ”

"Who?

"Cavishir. When the fat man reported this name, he suddenly shuddered! A trace of fear flashed on the fat face, he lowered his voice, and his tone was very serious: "Boy, you listen to me! In dìdū, even if you anger the emperor, you offend the crown prince, and offend those bigwigs in the military department, but because you have military merits, you can barely resist it." But this Cavishir...... You're going to have to be extra careful!"

"Oh, who is this guy, is he scary?"

The fat man hesitated, and he couldn't help but look left and right, as if he had some concern, and as if he was afraid that his words would be overheard by someone and reach the ears of that Cavishir.

"Isn't it scary, I'm not good at judging directly, well, I'll tell you so. The fat man said in a low voice with a straight face: "In dìdū, many people hate this Cavihill, there are royalty, there are churches, there are military departments, there are senate members...... But so many people hate him, and for decades, he is still alive and well, and it seems that he is getting more and more nourished. When the fat man said this, he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing: "But, what about those who are hated by him...... Now, all lying on the Mount of Glory - all these years, without exception!"

Glory Mountain ...... This name Char seems to have heard on the road. He thought for a moment before he remembered - well, Glory Hill, it seems to be the largest cemetery on the outskirts of Osgilia!

After savoring the fat general's last words, Char also became a little serious.

"This guy ...... Who the hell is he? What do you see me doing?"

The fat general immediately briefly introduced the identity of Cavishir.

"Oh, the emperor's most trusted brain?" Char frowned, "What does this guy do when he sees me?" I'm just a little horn, right...... Even if I make a meritorious service, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him. ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Ruhl was a little worried: "It's best if you don't have anything to do with him...... What I'm most afraid of is that this guy Cavishir, whoever gets his hands on him will be unlucky. ”

The fat man wiped his cold sweat: "This guy is over fifty years old this year, his wife died very early, his son and daughter also died, and all his relatives and friends are all dead! I almost doubt that whoever has a relationship with him will be cursed! Even our Emperor Majesty...... Because he was friends with him, His Majesty was seriously ill, and his only son actually became a ...... Turned into a bunny! Fuck. ”

"Damn, so powerful?" Char changed to sè: "It's just a lone star!"

Char glanced at Ruhl: "This, this ...... , this Cavishir, when are you going to see me?"

“...... Right now. The fat man sighed, grimaced, and pointed to the front of the road: "This road is the direction leading to Kavihir's house, and the request he sent to send a message is: As soon as you arrive at Dìdū, go and see him immediately!"

Char was furious: "You dead fat man! You only told me now! Damn...... No, no, no, I'm going to meet such a dangerous guy, why don't I have to prepare for it! You, you bastard, ......."

"I'm sorry man. The fat man wiped his sweat: "I don't dare to refuse Kavehill's request...... I don't want to be hated by him. Lao Tzu is still in the prime of life, and he doesn't want to go to Glory Mountain to lie down so early......"
