Heimarian Odyssey Chapter 154: Country of Ten Thousand Cities
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Outside the mighty and majestic city gate, before the convoy of the envoys approached, a whole team of cavalry had stepped out of the city gate to welcome them.
A tall knight wearing black armor and riding a black steed walked in front of the cavalry.
"Is it Princess Angelina of the Kingdom of Faustine?" The black-armored knight asked, and Locke felt a mighty power rushing to his face, just like the essence.
This is not like the strength that a knight attendant can show.
"I am!" In the carriage, Angelina's sweet voice came out, and then Angelina, wearing a silver mage robe, appeared.
The black-armored knight kept the team in place and approached the envoy alone, paying no attention to the fully armed Faustin soldiers around.
"I am upon Master Garcia's order to receive Princess Angelina here and go to Princeton, the capital." The black knight said meticulously.
"Mighty knight, what is your name?" Angelina asked with a smile.
"You can call me Knight Garon." The black knight replied.
"Then I will trouble you, Knight Garon." Angelina said.
Many people have noticed a detail, that is the knight named Garon, who calls Princess Angelina "you". If this knight does not have a high title, it can be comparable to Princess Angelina. If it is, it can only be because his strength is enough to break free from the shackles of secular kingship.
Led by the Kanon Cavaliers, the team followed closely behind him. Angelina sat back in her carriage.
Following behind Viscount Cage, Locke and others walked in front of the envoy, very close to the Kanon Knights.
There was no random questioning or nonsense. This envoy from Faustin was very calm and decent, and everyone was meticulous from top to bottom, which made the Kanon knight who was observing secretly nodded.
Compared with the envoys of other countries he has received, these Faustans impressed him very well.
Entering the towering city gate, Locke was fortunate to see the customs and customs of the Omor Empire.
The knight named Garon rarely speaks, and a knight like an entourage next to him is more talkative, introducing the various situations of Barbrador City to the people in the envoy.
The city named Barbrador was established on the southeast border of the Omor Empire and the Principality of Lyon.
Although the entourage repeatedly explained that Barbrador was only the barrenest city in the Omor Empire, Locke didn't believe it at all.
From the majesty of the city walls and the prosperity of the city, Locke has only seen Faustin’s capital city Flor and Charlo’s Otis city comparable.
This is at least a big city that can accommodate 200,000 people. Even though he has only traveled around less than one-third of Labrador, Locke has estimated it.
In Faustin, apart from Peters City and Flor City which can accommodate a resident population of more than 200,000 people, Locke really hasn’t heard of other cities.
Ignoring that the entourage was talking about it, Locke watched the surroundings for himself.
The place where they rest is the post in Labrador, located in the southwest corner of the city.
Said it is an inn, it is actually a large hotel, covering an area of fifty miles, divided into a three-story post in the upper, middle and lower buildings, to the envoys, it feels like a palace is bigger than a post,
The Omor Empire personnel accompanying them seemed to be accustomed to the surprise of the people who had just arrived in their country. After they had arranged the board and lodging for the people in the convoy, they ignored them.
The Kanon knight also took everyone to the place, but didn't know when to leave.
"Find my room, take a day off, and continue to set off tomorrow!" Viscount Cage said.
The servants live in a four-person room, ordinary soldiers live in a three-person room, and the captains are a two-person room. Only the noble children and captains like Locke are allocated single rooms.
Relying on power, Locke arranged a single room for Grace's daughters and sister Leah.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Locke asked, walking to Viscount Cage.
He thought the team would fix up in Barbrador for a few days before setting off.
"The princess's academy is about to start classes, plus the entry into the palace and other matters, we need to arrive at Princeton one month in advance." Viscount Cage said helplessly.
"Isn't there more than two months left?" It is only the end of December, and there is still not a short time before the princess starts school in February.
"I doubt if I can reach Princeton in a month." Viscount Cage dropped this sentence and walked away, leaving Locke staying where he was surprised.
At dinner, after talking with Adjutant Bender, Locke knew why Viscount Cage would say that he would not be able to go to Princeton, the capital of the Omor Empire, for a month.
The Omor Empire is too big, how big is it? According to Bender, the area of the Omor Empire is one hundred times that of Faustin from the map.
Hurry up, it will take ten days to cross the Kingdom of Faustine, and it will take three years or more to cross the entire Omor Empire.
The total number of Faustans is about two million, while the total number of the Omor Empire, according to official statistics, is about 700 million.
This is the first time Locke heard that after tens of millions, there are still ‘billion’ as a unit.
With a total population of 700 million, Locke couldn't imagine how big and vast the Omor Empire was. In his lifetime, Locke felt that he would not correctly recognize how large a number 700 million was.
No wonder the accompanying knight of the Omor Empire would say that Barbrador is the barrenest city in the Omor Empire, with a population of just over 200,000 people, which is indeed insignificant compared to the 700 million.
After finishing all night, Locke hadn't realized the surprise that Barbrador City had brought him, so the convoy set off again.
This time, in addition to the accompanying Faustan soldiers, there is also an **** team from the Omor Empire, led by the Kanon knight himself.
The responsibility of this **** force is more surveillance than protection.
The Faustin envoy, which has doubled its personnel, did not slow down because of its bloated size. On the contrary, with the **** of the Garon Knights, the speed of the convoy increased several levels, and the whole way was unimpeded.
"The Garon Cavaliers should be the deputy city lord of Barbrador." In the carriage, Angelina was chewing on some unknown fruit that she had just bought in the city through.
"Vice-City Lord?" Locke asked puzzled. It has been half a month since they left Barbrador. There are already more than twenty cities they have traveled along the way.
Locke's shock from the beginning has now become numb.
No wonder Barbrador is the barrenest city in the Omor Empire, and the cities along the way are larger in terms of scale.
As for the city named Rea where they left this morning, there are almost three Flores, and it is said that its permanent population is 800,000.
800,000, hehe, this city of Reya has refreshed Locke's cognitive limit, and the process of refreshing will not stop for the time being, because their destination, Princeton, has not yet arrived.
Locke is very curious about how magnificent the Omor Empire, his capital, with 700 million people.
As for why the Garon knight was the deputy city lord of Barbrador, according to Angelina's explanation, in the Omor Empire, every strong man who reached the official knighthood, Emperor Omor would give a city lord the position.
In Faustan, a strong knight is enough for the king to appoint a marquis, while in Omor, he can only be a city lord.
However, having a city with at least two to three hundred thousand people is not much worse than the marquis of a small kingdom. Except for the city itself, the villages and towns around the city are all under the control of the city lord.
"This Kanon knight should offend someone before he will be sent to that kind of city as the deputy city lord." Angelina laughed. Her carriage is very soundproof, so there is no need to worry about people outside. Hear.
It's another intrigue between the nobles, and Locke sounds short of interest every time.
"Omor Empire, how many strong knights are there?" Locke asked what he cared about the most. He wanted to know how strong this empire dominated the mainland and had hundreds of vassals, its strength and foundation.
"The Omor Empire is also known as the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Cities." Angelina looked at Locke and said slowly.
"The country of ten thousand cities." Locke murmured. A city has more than one official knight, so ten thousand cities...
Locke discovered that the veil of the world seemed to have just lifted a horn for him. It turned out that he was still a frog at the bottom of a well.
