Chapter 1 Visitors from the West
On this day, the first day of October, the sun is just right, and the sky is clear!
A cavalry team composed of tall aliens with blonde, brown, black hair and other hair colors, blue eyes, green eyes, golden eyes and other different eye colors came to the imperial capital.
They sat on the strongest horses, and under the control of this group of knights, these horses did not make the slightest sound.
The entire cavalry contingent was like a group of ghosts, silent.
Not even the sound of the war horse's nose.
The knights on horseback were all burly and tall, and it was frightening that their armor was covered with gray-brown stains.
The warriors in the crowd and the guards at the gate could recognize that it was a dried bloodstain.
In the eyes of warriors and soldiers, this group of people has become a group of killing gods.
A faint stream of blood rose from the top of their heads, and finally converged and twisted into one.
It can be called: Fighting Spirit!
Outside the Yongding Gate, people stopped one after another, looking at this group of strange people strangely.
If it weren't for the appearance of people from the imperial court, this group of people would be able to point and point at this group of golden retrievers.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The little stool trotted all the way to the palace of Emperor Xuyang.
At this time, Emperor Xuyang was intently looking at the geographical chronicles, and there was a newspaper from Shandong on the desk next to him.
The encirclement of Liangshan has been completed, and the next round of negotiations is coming.
The imperial court still hopes to use the Zhao'an way.
Of course, the imperial court has a list of the objects of Zhao'an.
Only a small number of them are on the list of people who can survive after Zhao'an.
The rest of the people are all killed!
The emperor, who was studying and making a decision, was naturally very unhappy to be disturbed.
However, the little stool said the point directly with great interest, and did not give the emperor a chance to be angry at all.
"There is a group of aliens outside Yongdingmen!
The messenger said that there were golden hairs, yellow hairs, red hairs, all kinds of hairs..."
Emperor Xuyang immediately put down the geographical chronicle in his hand.
It's finally here!
Emperor Xuyang slowly got up.
A power that belonged to the emperor slowly emanated from his body.
The strong coercion made the small stool bow down and become lower.
"Let Wu Guogong, Qin Guogong, and Jin Guohou meet you!
At the same time, let Fan Xian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, go to greet the Western visitors! ”
"Yes!"
The little stool was just about to withdraw, when Emperor Xuyang's voice sounded again.
"No, not necessarily.
Letting civil officials go will only ruin my Zhengyang's prestige.
Summoned to the Marquis of Jin, bring all the guests who greet us! ”
Emperor Xuyang's voice became colder and colder, and by the end it was already cold to the bone!
The little stool couldn't help but slap a spirit, and he answered and hurried away.
Outside the Yongding Gate, this group of Western visitors stood straight in front of the Yongding Gate.
blocked most of the road at the exit of Yongding Gate.
But they didn't seem to notice anything.
At the foremost were three burly knights.
The leader is dressed in delicate armor, and behind the visor is a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. He had a scabbard around his waist and a green gem the size of a pigeon's egg on the hilt.
"Deputy Envoy, along the way, this eastern country is indeed vast. It's just that most of the places are too barren, and is such a place really worth asking? ”
Gaius. Gust said in a Western language.
Half a horse's length behind him was a knight of the utmost mass, who, even on horseback, could predict that he was more than seven feet tall and as burly as a mountain god.
Behind the mask was a pair of blue eyes as deep as the ocean, as if he could see through the entire Zhengyang world.
He was the deputy envoy of this legation, the Vienna Governor Adolf. Sauerland.
"Your Highness Gust, don't underestimate the country of the East.
On our way here, Secretary General Mills hadn't already inquired for us.
The richest place in the Zhengyang Empire was in the south.
As for why they set up the capital in the north, it is because they want to guard the border here to resist the invasion of the northern grasslands.
That alone deserves our attention. ”
"Okay Governor, I see."
Adolf shook his head slightly, he knew that once His Highness began to perfunctory himself, he would call himself a governor.
Falling last, behind the visor was a pair of blue eyes, and he looked around vigilantly, looking at the soldiers at the gates, constantly looking, as if calculating something.
He was none other than the Deputy Head of the Holy Order, Carter Kerr.
"Captain Carter, has the assessment come out?"
Gust asked.
"Tell Your Highness, it has been estimated."
"Oh, how's it going?"
There was a hint of curiosity on Gust's face.
"If the warriors here are the most elite warriors in the East.
Then I can only say that I am disappointed.
The strength of the warriors standing guard at the gate of the city was too weak.
If I was given 500 meters to charge, I could even break in before they closed the gates. ”
"In other words, to break through this majestic city, I only need to give you five hundred knights?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Carter's face was confident, and he looked at the gates of this majestic city, his face full of disdain.
"How long are we going to wait here, Governor."
Gust asked again, a look of impatience already appearing on his face behind the visor.
Along the way, it took them a full two and a half months to finally arrive at the capital of this eastern country.
The other party should have known that he was coming.
Nor did they wait early at the gates of the city.
This kind of treatment he has not suffered since he was a child.
"Rest easy.
In the words of Zhengyangguo, it is to be a little restless.
We are now an envoy corps, not an expeditionary force, and we must guard against arrogance and rashness.
Otherwise, do you think we can break out of this country of tens of thousands of people? ”
Adolf said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Gust was already a little impatient with the Governor's vigilance.
According to his meaning, their cavalry will come directly from the west.
See God kill God, see Buddha kill Buddha.
He wanted to show his strength in front of this weak eastern country.
Let him tremble at his feet in disobedience.
Suddenly, Gust was still thinking like this, and his rest of his mount began to agitate.
He took two steps back, then snorted heavily.
These war horses were given to them by their friends when they were in Hanzhong Mansion.
After nearly two months of training, they have long been obedient to them.
I didn't expect that there would be an abnormality now.
Gust hammered his horse's head hard, and instead of being honest, the horse he sat down became more and more agitated.
Here Gust is still puzzled, why his war horse is suddenly like this.
Adolf, who was next to him, clamped the horse's belly with a solemn face, and in this way, the war mark suppressed the fear in his heart.
That's right, it's fear.
Judging by his decades of experience, his and Gust's horses were frightened.
And this frightening comes from a kind of momentum.
The momentum rushed out of the city gate in front of him without hesitation.
The next moment Adolf saw a cavalry.
The cavalry did not charge, but slowly emerged through the doorway.
At the forefront of the cavalry was the Marquis of Jin and Shangguan Ba, who was in full armor.
And this cavalry is the Martial God Army that Shangguan Ba used to easily strangle the rebels.
Eligible to carry a thousand bull crossbows.
The most powerful cavalry guarding the northern, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces.
It is also the strongest army in the hands of his Shangguan Ba.
Because of the relationship that has just slaughtered a rebel army.
The murderous aura on this cavalry has not yet dissipated.
If you can see it, you will find that the blood condensed from this cavalry is more condensed and thick than that of the Western visitors!
Adolf certainly sensed Shangguan Ba's strength.
But in the Holy Roman Empire, the strength of the individual was not really a strength worthy of respect.
Only a strong commander-in-chief who leads an army will be respected.
And Shangguan Ba is obviously a powerful warrior, and at the same time a powerful commander.
At the same time that Shangguan Ba rode his horse out of the city gate, on the city wall, dozens of thousands of oxen crossbows turned their direction at the same time, and all pointed to the envoys below.
At the same time, at the rear of the mission, on a carriage transporting baggage, old William, who was flushed, opened his sleepy eyes.
He drank it again.
But he was awakened by dozens of thousand-bull crossbows.
He rubbed his somewhat confused eyes, sighed and whispered:
"The Mysterious Land of the East...... There's still something about it!
This thing must be brought back to the Imperial for study. ”
At the same time that Old William was looking at the thousand bull crossbows on the city wall, Shangguan Ba had already come to Adolf.
Gust was still appeasing his war horse at this time, but he had already looked up at Shangguan Ba.
From behind the other party, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Among Shangguan Ba's several identities, he thinks that what he has done best is the identity of a general.
Over the years, he has almost completely given up control of Emperor Wu City, and has put his mind on the battlefield every day and night.
The souls of those who died at his hands or under the armies he led have long been innumerable.
The practice of the Holy Roman Empire was a bit strange, and it was only then that Gust could see some visions.
And this vision, Gust had only seen in a few marshals of his own empire.
Even Governor Adolf, who was as strong as Adolf, did not produce such a vision.
Until this moment, Gust finally put away the pride in his heart and the thought of underestimating Zhengyang.
"Your Excellency, I am ...... ...... Holy Roman Empire Governor of Vienna...... Adolph. Sauerland.
This is ...... Our Holy Roman ...... Prince...... Gust
That is, your country's ...... Well...... All commanders! ”
Shangguan Ba listened to the other party's lame Zhengyang words, and raised his eyebrows.
A Western alien race actually learned their language and even their culture......
For a person with great wisdom like Shangguan Ba, such a move is very unusual!
It's like ......
Probe before invasion!
"I am the Marquis of Zhengyang Jin, the governor of Shanxi and Shandong provinces, Shangguan Ba!
By the order of my king, come and greet the visitors from the West! ”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I ...... It will only ...... Introduce yourself.
The rest ...... Communicate...... I'll leave it to my secretary...... Leslie! ”
Adolf waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him dispersed, and a passage appeared.
A knight in silver armor walked out slowly.
Leslie was dressed in silver armor, bumpy and uneven, she was not wearing face armor, and a strange western face appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Excellency the Marquis!"
Leslie's Zhengyang official words are simply ...... Exactly the same as Zhengyang people!
It's even better than some people say!
Shangguan Ba raised his eyebrows again, this woman ......
Women are generals, Zhengyang also has them, and there is the famous General Luoshen.
But even a female general wears plate armor.
That is, the same armor system as men.
And the other party's silver armor......
Although there are some indecent disrespects, Shangguan Ba's mind is not in those dirty places.
He pays more attention to the forging process of the other party.
To do that, Zhengyang's standard process can't do it!
Only those refining masters can take a long time to slowly polish and develop.
I just don't know if the other party's armor is standard or ......
"Hello!"
Shangguan Ba was stunned for only a moment, and Leslie on the opposite side immediately showed a charming smile.
Glancing at the knights behind the four of them, who were forbidden and silent, Shangguan Ba said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has decreed that you and other envoys will be allowed to enter, a total of ten people. The rest of the people can be stationed at the Xuanwei camp. ”
Shangguan Ba's voice did not carry a trace of emotion.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, does the Emperor of the Empire remember a few hundred of us?"
Although the words were more serious, Leslie's voice was soft and glutinous, as if it was about to erode human bones.
"The dignified Zhengyang Empire, the land is vast and rich, and I heard that the Zhengyang Empire is the most popular ......"
"Enough!"
Leslie originally wanted to borrow Zhengyang's historical allusions.
Unexpectedly, what was ushered in was a rebuke from Shangguan Ba, a straight man of steel.
Leslie's face suddenly showed an aggrieved look.
But a straight man of steel won't look at your face.
If Leslie knew that Shangguan Ba's wife hadn't seen Shangguan Ba in the boudoir for almost ten years, she wouldn't have tried to influence the other party with her beauty.
“……”
Leslie was silent, there was nothing to say, she already was.
Or maybe she can't think of a better way to speak for the time being.
Shangguan Ba looked at them coldly, without any expression.
Leslie finally recounted Shangguan Ba's words word by word in Western language.
"! How dare he, a mere marquis? ”
A look of anger appeared on Gust's face.
If it was in his empire, even the duke would have to be polite to him.
And the other party is just a marquis.
Gust's anger fell in Shangguan Ba's eyes.
Zheng!
The matching knife on Shangguan Ba's waist was unsheathed by an inch, and at the same time, more war knives were unsheathed.
The cavalry behind Shangguan Ba all had their sharp blades unsheathed, pointing obliquely to the ground, the sharp blades of their weapons were facing outward, and a sharp edge that rose to the sky surged forward.
Gust's face changed slightly.
The fighting spirit of the opposing cavalry was unexpectedly condensed, and they pointed in the same direction under the leadership of the opposing commander.
Precision!
This control...... There don't seem to be many generals in the empire who can do it.
And the other party's blade is pointing exactly at him.
He suddenly felt a rush of battle intent like a mountain and a sea.
He was a little uncompromising with his legs, but in the end, he endured it with a sense of arrogance and unyieldingness.
Didn't lose the face of the prince in front of a foreign country.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared in front of him, and it seemed to be a solid wall, blocking all the sharp battle intent for him.
"Your Excellency the Marquis...... We respect ...... His Majesty the Emperor...... Requirements! ”
Shangguan Ba squinted his eyes at this extremely burly man.
Zhongpin Dacheng ...... It was able to block their fighting spirit.
This alien is kind of interesting.
Zheng!
Shangguan Ba put his sword back into its sheath, and the knights behind him also collected their weapons.
It's not that he deliberately wants to discourage the other party. Rather, he knows deep down that a weak country has no diplomacy.
In the diplomacy between the two countries, the two sides must show their muscles as much as possible.
Otherwise, they will only be despised and even despised by other countries.
There is no peaceful exchange between countries at all.
It's all about showing your strength to get the opportunity to talk on an equal footing.
"Carter, you take the Knights and follow the general."
Adolf said.
The burly Carter nodded silently.
And Shangguan Ba also came out with a burly general.
The general rode out on his horse alone, and walked towards the camp of Xuanwei in a puff of smoke.
Carter snorted coldly and chased after him.
And the cavalry regiment turned its head in unison and followed Carter closely.
There was no mud or water in the whole process.
Shangguan Ba took another deep look at the departing cavalry.
At this time, in addition to Gust, Adolphus, and Leslie, there was also an old man of an alien race who looked a little drunk.
And from this old man of an alien race who seemed to be drunk, Shangguan Ba actually felt a faint amount of pressure.
Or if the other party is drunk.
"Superior ...... Dacheng. ”
Shangguan Ba had a judgment in his heart.
Slightly sideways to make way of a passage, Adolf and the others understood.
Shangguan Ba said that he could only enter the city for a maximum of ten people.
They simply went in with just four people.
Gust's status was the highest of the few, and he was supposed to be ahead of the curve.
But Shangguan Ba stretched out his hand to stop him and said:
"The country respects the old and loves the young, and the elderly come first!"
Leslie repeated Shangguan Ba's words to the three of them.
Gust almost had an angry look on his face again.
It's just that Old William stretched out his hand and patted him, and the anger on his body subsided most of a sudden.
"Teacher ......"
Gust muttered.
Old William burped and said lightly.
"It's the policy of the country of the East.
Don't fall for them! ”
Gust took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his body, and nodded silently.
Then William Sr. walked first.
Adolf followed.
Gust and Leslie walked last.
The group crossed Zhengyang Street, which surprised them.
The people on both sides of Zhengyang Street looked at the four of them with a strange look as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
"The people are foolish, and they have not yet enlightened their wisdom."
William Sr. made a judgment.
"But ......"
Old William looked at the clothes of the people, the buildings in the city, the wide roads, and the almost endless Zhengyang Street.
"The prosperity of this place is really enviable!"
"pS. has officially entered the third volume, the rivers and lakes in my heart!
Thousands of rivers and mountains are always in love, can you vote for me!"
