Chapter 166: The City of the Dreadnought
"Is this your main city?!" Li Shengnan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at a majestic city not far away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a city that can be impressive at first sight!
First of all, it is almost several times the size of the 'Howling Sky Castle', and it is the largest city known to Li Shengnan!
Since Gu Yi, Li Shengnan is no longer the eldest lady who used to be the one who did not go out of the gate, but she has seen many majestic and tall cities.
But compared to this city not far away, it is really a little trivial!
The second is strange! The city seems to have two distinct buildings starting from the middle.
The buildings on the east side are all very strange with round spires, like a drop of grease that freezes when it falls from the sky. The dome in the center of the city is the highest and then radiates to the east, all of which are dome buildings, but gradually decreasing in height.
To the west of the highest spire is a massive building of almost equal height. Completely different from the style of the dome spire, the building looks like a collection of huge stones. The top is all square, and it looks very weird. Also like the building with the spire, all the square buildings that go west from it are gradually lowered.
From the air, the city looks as if it is thought to be divided into two different districts, and the two zones appear very symmetrical!
In addition, the walls that surround the entire city are made entirely of huge stones and steel. Li Shengnan estimated the proportion, the height of the city wall is thirty-four zhang, and the thickness is at least seven or eight zhang, and the various defensive fortresses on the city are arranged in an orderly manner, obviously defending this city as solid as gold!
Unlike the 'Howling Sky Castle', this city has only one gate, which faces its own direction, and occupies about one-eighth of the size of the entire city wall. From a distance, the gates were made of steel and wood, with huge chains to lift and lower!
At the same time, around the city is an apparently artificially dug moat, which is seven or eight zhang wide, and encloses the entire city.
"Yes, this is our main city, 'Dreadnought City'!" Deedriet looked proud! In her impression, in the entire Purple Gold Continent, only this city was the largest and most sturdy, fearless!
"Magnificent project!" Li Shengnan looked at the city and couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of scale, the city was not built overnight! whether it was the wide moat or the huge walls and the area they occupied, it would take a long time to build!
"That's!" Didrite glanced at Li Shengnan and said with a cocked nose, "It took two thousand years for this 'Dreadnought City' to be fully built from its establishment! It is the strongest city in the Purple Gold Continent, and no one can break through this huge city!"
"Huh. Li Shengnan chuckled lightly and did not answer her.
Li Shengnan, who was beside Gu Yi, once heard Gu Yi say that the reason why he didn't build the 'Howling Sky Castle' bigger and more 'perfect' was because he thought that there was no unbreakable city in this world!
'The best defense is offense', this is a sentence that Gu Yi often said to his subordinates! Another sentence is 'If you defend for a long time, you will lose'!
Before this, Gu Yi had deduced the defense of 'Howling Sky Castle' with everyone.
Under Gu Yi's whimsical means, the 'Howling Sky Castle' has never been breached!
Not to mention the weapons that can be attacked from a distance, such as the catapults, catapults, and hot air balloons that Gu Yi 'developed', there are also various strange attack methods.
In Li Shengnan's eyes, she has several ways to break through this 'Dreadnought City' in front of her!
Of course, Li Shengnan doesn't plan to break these. She is not obliged to point out the mistakes to the other side, and can use them anyway to prepare for a possible conflict.
"It's time to land, everyone!" shouted a dwarf flying a hot air balloon.
"Catch this!" Ares said to a cowhide gripper beside him with one hand, and said to Li Shengnan.
"Oh, good. Hua Manlou did not hesitate, and grabbed the grip beside him with one hand. Under his perception, there is no need for help from others at all.
"Boom. After a huge jolt, the hot air balloon finally stopped at a specially set up place outside the city.
"There is no shock absorption function!" Li Shengnan said silently in his heart, then looked around, and said secretly in his heart, "The landing point is set outside the city, and the possibility of using a hot air balloon for war has not been considered in the slightest?"
When the balloon landed, a strange trombone sounded, and then a group of horse-like spirits with sharp horns on their heads and a group of dwarves covered in armor came up and stood in front of the hot air balloons.
"Leader of the Spirit Guard, Iluli/Captain of the Dwarf Guard, Ku Zhan, welcome the Terran guests!" A Spirit woman and a dwarf man walked out, saluted Hua Manlou and Li Shengnan, and then turned to Ares and Didrite, "General Ares, Princess Didlet, thank you for your hard work!"
"General?!Princess?!" Hua Manlou looked at Ares and Didlit in some surprise, he didn't expect the other party's status to be so high.
"I'm Ares Dodge, the general of the Dwarven Hammer Army!" Ares cracked his mouth and laughed, introducing Didrite, "Didrite Alice, a member of the Spirit Royals, the granddaughter of the current Spirit King!"
"It's really disrespectful!" Hua Manlou immediately smiled and nodded.
"It's okay, it's just that we're hiding it first!" Ares smiled, "Then please come with us into the city." ”
"Okay!" Hua Manlou nodded, and boarded a strange 'carriage' with Li Shengnan, who had not spoken!
It is said that it is a carriage, but it is actually more like the chariot of Gu Yi's previous life in the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, and the cart is not a horse, but a horse-like creature with sharp horns on the head ridden by the spirit race.
"This is a unicorn, and it's a mount unique to our Spirit Race!" Didriet saw Li Shengnan's gaze at those horses with sharp horns on their heads, and said proudly, "Only the purest and noblest people can touch unicorns, and our Spirit Race is the only race that can control unicorns!"
"Huh. Li Shengnan chuckled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
She didn't believe what the other party said!
Although this creature with sharp horns on its head looks beautiful, Li Shengnan doesn't feel anything special about it!
Judging by the appearance of this creature called the 'unicorn', it doesn't seem to be much different from a horse......! That sharp horn can attack people!?
But then Li Shengnan denied this speculation!
The Purple Gold Continent is prosperous in martial arts, and the cavalry has never existed! The only role of horses is to transport and use them as a means of labor-saving transportation!
No one has ever studied the tactics of cavalry, and so has Gu Yi!
If it were the worlds that Gu Yi had experienced in his previous life, cavalry would definitely be a great weapon of destruction! Especially heavy cavalry, it was even more indispensable!
But in the Purple Gold Continent, the cavalry has no effect at all!
Sorry, a warrior with good skill on the battlefield can win against those horses.
Strength?!Still sorry, in the face of huge warriors such as hammers, axes, and other tools, the cavalry can't rush close at all! And I want to add that due to the cultivation of martial artists in this world, huge axes and hammers are not stressful to use!
Impact power?! Come on, without the advantage of speed and strength, how can there be impact?!
In the Purple Gold Continent, there are only infantry! Because the infantry are all warriors!
Unless it was Gu Yi who brought the tanks and planes from the technological world of his previous life to this world, infantry has always been and will always be the only class!
Judging from this, the cavalry unit established by the 'unicorn' is just an army similar to an honor guard! I am afraid that the real combat will not have much effect at all!
The group walked mightily towards the city, causing many people along the way to stop and watch.
"It's no different from the Terran world?!" Seeing the gazes cast on both sides and the clothes of those Spirit Race and Dwarves, Li Shengnan determined that the general social system of Spirit Race and Dwarf was not much different from that of Terran.
After a while, the team came to the only gate. The heavy wooden iron gate and the thick iron chain tell everyone how thick and strong this gate is! Li Shengnan observed it without leaving a trace, and it was indeed not something that could be destroyed by ordinary means!
It's almost half a man's thick gate!!
The guards at the gates were also composed of spirits and dwarves, and like the team that greeted them, the spirits were women and the dwarves were men. It can be seen that the status of men and women of the two races is different!
The doorway is as long as it was estimated before, and Li Shengnan estimated it in his heart, about eight zhang!
After exiting the city gate, there is a straight avenue leading to the two towering buildings in front of you. On both sides of the avenue, the east side of the building with a dome spire, most of which stood with the spirits, and the west side of the square building, most of which stood with the dwarves.
Li Shengnan judged from this that the east was inhabited by the Spirit Clan, and the west was inhabited by the Dwarf Clan, and the area inhabited by the two clans was separated by this avenue.
Unlike the Terran society, there don't seem to be any merchants in this city! There is not a single shop along the way, which makes Li Shengnan feel very strange.
"What's wrong with Miss Li?!" Ares, who was beside her, seemed to see Li Shengnan's look and asked with a smile.
"Why aren't there any merchants here?!" Li Shengnan didn't shy away from it, and asked suspiciously.
"Merchant?!Vulgar profession!" Didrite replied with a look of disdain, "The spirits and dwarves have never needed merchants!
"Then how do you stipulate who gets more and who gets less?!Does everyone need to work?!" Hua Manlou asked with a smile when he heard this.
"The royal family of the Spirit Race and the royal family of the Dwarven Race do not need to work!" Dedellet said proudly, "We provide protection for all our subjects, we only need to practice as much as we can! As for the principle of distribution, it is based on bloodline merits!"
