Noua's royal capital, Simbaku, translated to mean the Lion City, is also called the Golden City by the Kemertes, because the Kingdom of Noa is rich in gold, the capital has the most gold, this is a closed capital, not open to the outside world at all, so many years can enter the Lion City The number of foreigners is so rare that it is rumored that the city is built of gold, and the city is guarded by strange beasts.

The number of Noua who was able to leave the Lion City alive and enter the Kemert Kingdom was also very small, and the fixed trade every year was the national trade, which was carried out under the supervision of the king, so there was not much news that could be obtained, and the people like Auden who had seen the Lion City and successfully entered the Kemert Kingdom were very precious, and it was also the most important source of information for Menes to know about Noa.

The area of the Lion City is not large, and the total area is about four square kilometers, of which the royal palace occupies a quarter, the temple buildings occupy a quarter, and there are a large number of government agencies, warehouses, The total population of the city is a little more than 30,000, the palace occupies more than 5,000 people, and there are more than 5,000 soldiers, and the rest of the population are also people who serve the palace or the dignitaries of the palace, and the city is not so much a city as a huge royal castle.

The Lion City is built on a towering mountain cliff, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and under the cliff is a vast lake, known as the Lion Lake, the lake to the Lion City wall has a height of more than 500 meters, only the south has a slope connected to the mainland, the hillside is lush with vegetation, the trees cover the sky, and there is only one avenue in the jungle that can lead to the Lion City, and the external resources are continuously transported into the Lion City.

There is a small castle every kilometer or so in the dense forest on the hillside, there are more than 30 fortresses densely distributed on the entire hillside, the whole road from the entrance of the grassland into the hillside is more than 30 kilometers long, a total of three checkpoints are set up, each checkpoint is guarded by soldiers, and a beacon tower is set up, once it encounters an emergency, it will be ignited to notify the Lion City.

The fortress of the Lion City has stored a large amount of military supplies and food, and even if it is besieged, it can hold out for at least five years, and there is no shortage of food.

There is an abyss fissure in the palace boundary of the Lion City, the abyss is cut by the mountain and extends to the bottom, and a secret passage is connected to the Lion Lake, so that the palace can have water even if it is besieged.

There are also three large cisterns built in the castle, which can be used to collect rainwater and water from the abyssal cracks, which can be fully supplied to the people of the Lion City.

The city wall directly south of the Lion City is as high as fifteen meters, which is far worse than the city wall of the Rashen Fortress, but at the foot of the city wall is a steep slope, it is difficult for any engineering equipment to stand on this slope, the enemy can only take the way of attacking from the back, it is very difficult, the only place that can attack is the front gate, the outer layer of this gate is guarded by a fence gate made of brass, usually put it away, put it down at night, behind the metal fence is a heavy city gate made of ebony, through this city gate, there are two female walls around the perimeter to welcome, and there is a heavy city gate at the end, so as to form an urn city。

The city is almost incomprehensible under such a defense, in fact, it has only been conquered from the inside for thousands of years, and has never been conquered from the outside, for the Noua, whoever controls this castle can control the entire kingdom, at least to make themselves invincible, so Menes also wants to conquer this castle from the inside.

Auden is the leader of the Resistance Legion, and naturally has the ability to infiltrate the city.

The early morning sun has not yet spilled into the world, and the gate of the first checkpoint is already full of people, all of whom are the team that has delivered supplies to the Lion City in the morning.

More than 30,000 people in this lion city are princes, nobles and elite soldiers, so the daily consumption is also amazing, and it is just in time for the autumn harvest to pay taxes, and they think that the number of people is huge, hundreds of ox carts carrying grain are in the front, and there are also vegetables, melons and fruits, cattle and sheep, fresh fish, all kinds of cloth, metal, weapons, ivory, rhinoceros horn, ostrich feathers, The convoy of beast skins and other supplies, the camel-loaded livestock snoring and digging hooves look very impatient, and the people who transport the supplies are anxious but dare not show the slightest expression, and once they show dissatisfaction and boredom, they will be sent back by the guards and refused to enter the city, or they will be directly captured in the dungeon and never see the light of day.

A ray of sunlight shone through the dense forest on the faces of the guards at the top of the gate, and several soldiers rubbed their eyes and muttered to their feet, ready to open the gate.

"Damn, a group of wild minions, come so early and disturb Lao Tzu's sleep. A soldier armed with a spear complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, Big Yellow Fang, be careful if you are heard by the dungeon army, and you will be abolished directly!" scolded the big-faced soldier next to him.

When the big yellow-toothed soldier heard this, he immediately sobered up, looked around, sighed, and said, "Big face monster, don't scare me, where is the dungeon army?"

"If there is, will you still live? Just a few of your rotten yellow teeth have long been broken apart, go and open the city gates, the line to collect taxes today is long!" the big-faced monster took his weapon and went to wake up the other soldiers.

The reason why the big-faced monster is called the big-faced monster is because the face is particularly large, the head is big, the face is also big, the whole face seems to be swollen, the forehead protrudes forward, the cheeks are swollen, a garlic nose is inlaid in the middle, and the eyes are only the size of a pea.

The dungeon army mentioned by the big face is the city defense team, and it also serves as a part-time city policeman, but this group of people is like the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty is a terrible existence, and no one dares to offend them at will, but if they are targeted, they are basically over, they are in pain, and they beg for death, and many people will commit suicide directly once they hear that they are being targeted by the dungeon army, and the exaggerated people will simply be martyred by their families.

The kingdom of Noa is divided into three kinds of armies, of which the strongest combat effectiveness is the Young Division Legion, but they are scarce, and the only task is to defend the king, which is the king's Praetorian Guard, followed by this military force called the Dungeon Legion, they are the city defense troops of the Lion City as many as 5,000, most of them are soldiers of the Noa tribe, but the core combat personnel are composed of Serra people, which is the strongest army in the kingdom.

Finally, there is a force of about 50,000 people, distributed in various regions of the kingdom, is an army composed of people from other tribes of the kingdom, the main task is to manage the kingdom's states and counties, as well as external conquests, this army is generally equipped, combat effectiveness is not strong, but the number is relatively large, some of the well-trained legions, combat effectiveness is also good, at least the general Kemert regiment is not able to stop.

Most of this legion is in the hands of the major tribal chiefs of the Kingdom of Noa, but these tribal chiefs must obey the orders of King Noa, and anyone who dares to rebel and disobey orders may end up in the annihilation.

The big-faced monster is the captain of the guard team responsible for guarding the city gate inspectors today, and recently because of the domestic rebellion, the inspection requirements for entering the gate have become stricter, so many people are waiting to enter the city, and it is estimated that it will be busy for a day.

After the city gate was opened, the transport team outside immediately began to stir, at the forefront of the queue is the Nanu tribe's grain transport team, this team has a lot of grain trucks, but the escort is not too many, so the customs clearance speed is quite fast, the big face to check the customs clearance documents of the transport team, symbolically check whether there are prohibited materials in the grain car, wave your hand and let go, Nanu is the king's most loyal tribe can not fool around, and there are three checkpoints behind, the whole round of inspection, even the illegal flies can be found out。

"Hey, good morning, Big Face, I'm going to work hard for you again!" greeted a young man with white teeth with a smile.

"Hey, Harry, why are you going into town today? so early, come and line up at night?" replied Big Face.

"Oh, it's not an evening queue, I arrived yesterday morning and have been queuing until now. ”

"Don't complain if you can enter the city, what are you going to send in today?"

"Hey, aren't these all linen, woollen cloth, and fine silk that Lord Khumbu wanted, but they were secretly traded from Menes' territory, precious silk. Harry whispered, secretly shoving a silver coin into Big Face's hand.

The big face stuffed the silver coin into his belt and said solemnly, "Bring the customs clearance documents, inspect the goods, check the people!"

"Hey, who's going to check it, isn't my face just a document?" Harry smiled and took out the customs clearance paperwork and handed it over with both hands.

"You and I know, but the paperwork still has to be checked, the last time the rebels made trouble, many people lost their lives, and the requirements above are very strict, and no one can afford to deal with the situation. ”

After the big face finished the careful inquest documents, the main reason why the big face can be the captain is because he is literate, and those who can read in this kind of society are talents.

Big Yellow Fang was holding a spear and wanted to pick up the cloth to inspect the goods, but as soon as he raised the spear, Harry stopped him and said, "Don't move, valuables, it's broken, Lord Khumbu is going to kill someone!"

"Cut, what kind of high-end goods, our guards will check!" roared Big Yellow Fang impatiently.

"Do you understand the silk? The fabric from the Oriental God Kingdom, this car can be comparable to gold, and it is very noble, and it may be damaged by the slightest collision, how can you compensate?" Harry said confidently.

"Okay, okay, it's also cloth in honor, it's not just to cover up your shame when you wear it on your body, just look at something else with big yellow teeth, don't spoil the silk of Lord Khumbu!" commanded Big Face.

"Hey, it's still the big-faced brother who is right, this dignitary is very demanding, don't break it!"

Big Yellow Fang didn't want to check the goods, but he noticed that there was a stranger in the team, and immediately became vigilant.

The people who enter the Lion City every day to deliver goods are basically some relatively stable people, so everyone is familiar with each other, and now there are strangers who naturally have to be interrogated.

"Where are you, what are you doing?" asked Big Yellow Fang.

"Master Huijun, I am a baton to help carry the goods, so you can take care of me before I enter the industry!" the big man who was asked lowered his head and bent down and whispered.

"Raise your head, you want to take a look, take out the identity papers!" said Big Yellow Fang, picking up the big man's head with his spear.

"Hey, that's for you. The big man hurriedly handed the paperwork to Big Yellow Fang.

Big Yellow Tooth couldn't see a name for a long time when he looked left and right.

"Alright, bring it, do you understand?" said Big Face.

Yellowfang handed the paperwork to Big Face and stared at the big man himself.

The big face frowned and checked the paperwork, and it took a long time to raise his head and say, "The body is good, it's a good figure for the dry bar, but it's so bold ......."
