The sun lazily showed a half-smiling face in the gap of the clouds, and the carriage drove briskly on the spacious road.
Ryan stretched a long waist and sat in the carriage for several days. It seemed that even people were numb. Ryan admitted in his heart that riding in a carriage would be faster than walking anyway, but he still thought it was more comfortable to walk. a little.
Different from the last time I went to Ermida City, Ryan and his party set out from Alfa City, and went faster and faster along the way, making them more spacious. On the main road of Elfa City, 3 carriages can go side by side, but now at least six carriages can go side by side. Ryan listened to Falasi saying that when he arrived at the center of Fernando, the imperial capital, the road over there was the widest in the entire empire, and it was possible to walk 8 brand-new carriages side by side.
"Maybe, this is the style that an empire center should have?" Ryan thought secretly in his heart.
The sound of horseshoes in the distance made Ryan take back his thoughts. He opened the curtains of the carriage, poked his head out, and looked at the sound, only to see a dense black shadow coming towards him in the distance.
The carriages on the road almost drove to the side of the road in unison, giving way to the wide road.
In a moment, a black knight appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. They were all wearing golden armor. Every knight is holding the rein of the horse with his left hand, and holding a long war gun in his right hand. The horses under their seats were also covered with thick leather horse armor, showing only two horse eyes and four horse hooves.
Ryan asked Alando, who was in the same car, strangely: "Why are there so many knights here?"
Allen thought for a while, and answered, but was completely covered by the hoofs of the knights passing by the carriage.
After these knights walked far away, Ryan asked again: "Ellendo, what did you just say?"
Ellendor said: "If I guessed correctly, this place has entered the scope of the imperial capital."
Ryan asked: "Oh? How did you know?"
Allen smiled and said: "Apart from the imperial capital, where in the entire empire there is a cavalry army who dares to come out so blatantly."
Ryan asked: "Is it possible that only the imperial capital can have cavalry?"
Allendo said: "Yes, when Fernando I established the empire, he entrusted a large number of lords. Each lord has absolute authority on his own land, as long as he can pay taxes in accordance with the rules of the empire. , Even if he is willing to support a huge army. In addition, there is only one requirement, that is, he cannot have a heavy cavalry army."
Lane said: "Heavy Cavalry Army?"
"Yes, in the entire empire, only Fernando City, the imperial capital, can legally have a heavy cavalry army, that is, the Royal Knights. Look at the group of knights wearing heavy armor just now, and even the horses are covered with horses made of leather. Kai. If it wasn't for the Golden Knights, then a certain lord would have rebelled."
Lane said: "I understand. But Ellendo, why do you dare to say why other lords can't betray?"
Allen smiled more and said, "Ryan, it seems that you don’t have much experience in this area. You must know that training a heavy cavalry requires at least one horse and a set of cavalry-specific armaments. Basically, one such heavy cavalry spends enough gold coins to support 20 light infantry. The group of cavalry just now has more than a thousand people. If a lord deliberately wants to betray, then he can at least support 2 There are more than 10,000 infantrymen. There are not many lords who can support more than 20,000 troops in the entire empire, and they are definitely not near the imperial capital."
Lane scratched his head. It seemed that he knew too little about the military.
Ellendo said: "Actually I don't know much. But in any case, no one of the dozens of lords in the empire will be stupid enough to have heavy cavalry. Punishment for treason. Even though Senat, who has defected, he has only trained some light cavalry."
Lane said: "Then these heavy cavalry are the knights of the Royal Knights. Isn't the Bacon we met in Giethoorn also from the Royal Knights?"
Allen nodded more and said, "Don't forget that Bacon invited us to be a guest. Now that we are in the Imperial City, it's better to find some time to visit them."
Ryan agreed: "Okay."
Ryan asked the driver outside in a loud voice: "Excuse me, how long will it take to get to the imperial capital?"
The coachman’s voice came: "Come on, guest. This is already the area of the imperial capital. Didn't you see the group of knights just now?"
Ryan asked loudly: "Oh, what's the matter with those knights?"
The coachman said: "In the imperial capital, there will be a squadron of royal knights on patrol every day, and they will travel around the suburbs of the imperial capital. If you encounter them, just drive the carriage to the side of the road to avoid it."
Ryan shook his head. This is really a strange rule. Why are the Royal Knights running around?
Lane opened the curtains of the carriage and looked bored at the scenery outside the window.
The two sides of the road are full of trees, neatly arranged together, a bit like the forest in my hometown, but the number of these trees is much less than the forest in my hometown.
In the gaps of the woods, there are faintly visible farms, and a large number of farmers are working hard in the farmland beside the road, not knowing what they are planting. Ryan glanced at the speeding carriage, unable to recognize what it was, as if he had never seen such a plant growing on a shelf with branches, etc.
I don't know how long it took, but Ryan only felt that the sky was getting darker. Just as Ryan was considering whether to stop and rest, a majestic city in the distance suddenly came into Ryan's vision.
Lane only took a look, and he was completely conquered by this city!
The huge and thick city wall is approaching oncoming, giving people a strong sense of suffocation!
The carriage drove fast, and Ryan's heart jumped faster and faster. This 200-year-old city constantly exudes a breath of life, as if to tell passers-by something.
Finally, the carriage drove into the city gate, and Ryan felt that his eyes were dark, and the light seemed to be lost between the sky and the earth.
Ryan was wondering, suddenly there was light in front of him, and it turned out that the carriage drove into the corridor of the city gate. It is said that the walls of Fernando City can be used for horse-drawn carriages, and naturally the corridors inside its gates are also very long.
Lian looked back at the strongest barrier in this imperial capital, sighing incessantly. It can be predicted how painful its enemies will be when they face it.
Although the carriage drove into the city, its speed was not affected at all. Ryan stared at the wide street outside the carriage window, and he suddenly thought of Giethoorn. That's right, only the vast prairie outside Giethoorn gave him this feeling.
Is this the imperial capital? The heart of a huge empire!
