Law of the Devil Chapter 116: [Emperor Capital] (below)
Chapter 116 [Emperor Capital] (Below)
All roads lead to the imperial capital!
This sentence is not blown out.
After spending the huge financial resources of several dynasties, with the imperial capital as the center, go east to the few provinces facing the sea, go south to the swamps to the south, north to the frozen forest, and west to the northwest border fortress. Important town. A huge network of transportation hubs covers the entire continent. It's like a blood vessel to Emperor's heart as a continuous stream of tourists, business groups ... These plus hundreds of years of construction have made the prosperity of Emperor's capital above the top of the entire continent!
Furthermore, the convenient passage makes any disturbance or crisis happen to the emperor once. Then those elite regiments guarding the empire from east to west, north and south can rush to the imperial capital to rebel at the fastest time!
As the first male city on the continent, there are four acropolises around the imperial capital, east, west, south, and north. These four acropolises were originally used as military fortresses of the imperial capital. However, the mainland has been flat for hundreds of years. There has been no war and the role of military fortresses has gradually diminished.
The King City Guard Corps, which is now responsible for defending the Imperial Capital, is the smallest number of the five main corps of the Empire. Other main corps, such as the Storm Corps guarding the northern edge of the frozen forest on the edge of the Empire, are all 200,000 people. The Wangcheng Guards Corps has only 100,000 personnel. But this is recognized as the most elite army on the mainland. It is also the oldest and most brilliant army on the mainland.
Its predecessor was the "Thorn Flower Legion" who once fought in the War of the Founding of the Roland Empire. Only a few hundred years ago, after the Augustinian dynasty, the true blood of Aragon had been cut off. After all, the emperor was not of orthodox origin, so in order to dilute and disguise this, the thorn flower army was renamed "King City Guard".
Now, the Imperial City ’s military power, the Royal City, is near the Guards. There are 10,000 people in each of the four Acropolises on the sides of the Imperial City, and 60,000 in the Imperial City. Responsible for the city defense of the imperial capital on weekdays. There are also some specially selected elites who are responsible for guarding the palace.
In addition to the 100,000 troops of the Wangcheng Guards, there is also 10,000 armed forces at the imperial police station. On the port facing the Lancang Canal in the north, there is a small naval fleet with the capital as the home port. .
After hundreds of years of peace, even the four acropolises around the imperial capital have gradually developed into large-scale cities, and they are usually stationed outside the army. It has become an important city for commerce and has residents, with a population of more than 100,000.
Add the four Acropolises, as well as the military power of the Imperial City, and the main city of the Imperial City. The largest metropolis in the world. The total population has exceeded two million. And the floating population that has been coming and going all the year round is even more incomprehensible.
Du Wei and his party arrived at the Acropolis southeast of the imperial capital the night before. The local garrison guarding all the way could not move forward, according to the imperial decree. The local army is not allowed to enter the area near the capital. In the Acropolis, the local defense forces left, leaving the task of protecting Du Wei and his party to the Wangcheng Guards.
After a rest in the Acropolis, Du Wei and others came to the outside of the city wall southeast of the imperial capital under the protection of a team of King City Guards in the early morning the next morning.
Under the rising sun, the golden sun shines on the majestic walls of the capital, the walls of the capital. Each piece is piled with almost one person tall boulder. The blue boulder wall has been continuously renovated by several generations of dynasties, and has reached a nearly horrible level in defensive power.
There is a high watchtower every two hundred meters above the city wall, which is a lot higher than the city walls next to it. In the war years, these watchtowers can become defensive forces. Powerful long-range arrow tower. Equipped with the army's giant crossbow gun. And upstairs in the main city. It is also equipped with a "magic cannon" whose construction process has been lost.
Although the construction drawings and craftsmanship of this terrible weapon have been lost, they are also carefully maintained by military magicians on weekdays. Once the war resumes, these historical relics can also explode into horror.
At the same time, the Imperial City is also a magic city on the mainland.
The tallest building in the capital is the inner city in the center of the capital, that is, in the palace. According to the construction site of the city defense, a tower of 100 meters high is erected at the center of the capital!
The towers are all white, built from the finest white jade. After hundreds of years of magic on the continent, they are extremely strong!
At the top of the white tower, there is one of the largest magic crystals in the continent. It is said to be nearly three meters in size and weigh one ton! And this crystal is set on a horseshoe-shaped bend at the top of the tower. That shelf was made of a certain kind of blackstone finer than metal, and when it was built, it did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and it contained a lot of extremely expensive Mithril! To increase the power of magic!
With this white tower as the center, a huge magic circle is hidden under the entire palace. At the earliest, when the Empire was founded, His Majesty Aragon led a group of the top and strongest on the continent. Established by a large magician, and later experienced the perfection and addition of countless powerful magicians of future generations, making this magic array more powerful.
In the war years, the palace is said to have always been a leader of the magic union, which was established in the Aragon era. It has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Although the number is small, it is only dedicated to the royal court magician team. The magic team is supported by this magician team. After activating the huge magic crystal on the top of the white tower, the magic circle is centered on the white tower, and then the crystals of the magic circle are left on each of the arrow towers on the walls of the Imperial City. Support and cover the entire imperial capital! It is said that the defense force is strong. When Aragon was alive, he once boasted about Haikou. Even if the dragon race of the mainland's most powerful race came out of the nest, it would not be able to break through this powerful magic formation!
With the start of the magic circle, the magic cannons on the main tower on all sides can get enough magic power and become a powerful firepower point on the tower!
The white tower in the palace is guarded by the most elite forces. No one is allowed to approach on weekdays. Not to mention it! Only the emperor can go in and out of Baita freely!
There are more than 100,000 elite army arch guards, with the powerful magic array left by Aragorn. The imperial capital has been called a city that will never fall on the continent.
At that time, Aragorn spent so much effort to set up the magic circle here. Actually, future generations always feel that doing so has cost so much financial and material resources, which is a bit redundant.
Because the continent was unified and the empire was established, there were no threats or powerful opponents on the entire continent. However, Aragon tried to make the emperor into such an iron bucket array desperately, and everyone did not know why.
For thousands of years, many historians have no idea why. The history books are just a passing away. I didn't dare to ask any questions, but it took a lot of effort to render this magic array infinitely powerful.
Strangely, this seemingly useless magic circle, after the death of Aragon, the emperor of the past, although the blood of Aragon gradually severed and the dynasties changed, but. Each generation of emperor, even if there have been several absurd unconscious kings in history ... but these emperors have one thing in common, all in their own terms, spend a lot of effort to repair and enhance this magic array!
This magical array has not been abandoned by the end of the Aragon Dynasty. If we say that Aragon had a bad brain. It took a lot of financial and material resources to make such a luxurious display ... So, have so many emperors in the back of the millennium lost their brains?
There is also a legend here. It is said that the founding emperor Aragorn wrote a secret testament in the palace. All subsequent emperors must spare no effort to retain this magic circle!
No matter how the dynasty changes in the future. This almost became the iron rule of a royal family! For thousands of years, the codes left by the Aragon era do not know how many generations have changed, but this iron law is strictly followed by all emperors.
Why outsiders don't know. Only the Aragon's legacy preserved in the palace has the truth! And it is also a great royal secret from the past emperors!
These anecdotes, in fact, are rarely circulated outside. However, Du Wei has been reading a lot of books since he was a child. In those days in the earl's palace of Emperor Capital, because of the cold treatment, he spent most of his time hiding in his room and reading. There are many precious ancient books collected. Du Wei also saw these secrets that have been lost in many places from many books.
However, it is ironic that it seems that Aragon isn't really an insane. At least, this is a city that will never fall, with a male soldier and this terrible large magic defense city. Aragon himself claims to be a city that cannot even contribute to the emergence of a powerful dragon tribe. In history, it has almost fallen twice.
Also, those two times. Even the magic circle didn't come to open. The enemy broke into the city!
The first time was because of the chaos in the royal family, after the death of Aragon's last blood. The turmoil caused by the many royal families fighting for the throne, some real nobles in the royal family led the army to fight back and forth around the capital, and the capital had several different hands.
The second time was the continental turmoil that rose from the Augustinian dynasty hundreds of years ago, the alien rebellion in the northwest, and then some of the great nobles in the northwest broke down strongly. It was during that turmoil that the Rollin family rose. In the end, the war subsided, and the entire Rolling Plain was sealed off because of the work.) In that turmoil, the empire almost collapsed and even lost hope for a time, even the throne. No one was willing to sit, and they were all afraid to be the dying king. In the end, Grand Duke Augustin came to power and became emperor.
At that time, before the magic circle was opened, the outer city of the imperial capital had been broken. The rebels entered the imperial capital and attacked the imperial city directly. The prince Augustine hurriedly succeeded the throne to lead the army to fight the imperial city in a **** manner, defeated the rebel forces with a weak force, and then regained control of the capital with the help of reinforcements from the south. After the reunification of the mainland with the help of the Rowlings.
Facing the rising sun, Du Wei stood outside the city of the capital and looked far into the capital. The tall white tower towered in the very center of the capital. The one above is said to be the largest magic crystal on the mainland. In the sun, Yiyi's light flickered, revealing a sacred majestic momentum ...
Du Wei sighed, recalling those allusions and historical secrets about the capital that he knew, looking at this majestic city wall, and the brightly-armored and mighty soldiers on the city wall, and looked up at the city tower. High flying thorn flower banner ...
"A good city." Du Wei smiled and said to himself: "But Aragon had never thought that such a city would still fall! No matter how powerful your magic circle is, it is useless ... the most Strong fortresses are usually breached from the inside. So simple .........
Due to Gandalf's death, Dewey did not really like that Aragon so much, and he was very polite in his words. However, these words were only whispered to himself, so that they would not be heard by others.
After speaking, Dewey smiled, and looked at the horse next to the carriage, Mader, who was riding on the horse, and smiled, "Well, what time is it now? Is the gate open? We can enter Is it a city? "
Mad hasn't answered yet. A leader officer of the team of Wang Cheng Jinwei, who is in charge of guarding Du Wei and others, has rushed to the carriage, and immediately replied: "Sir, the gate is open. .I have sent people to open the road ahead. At this time, the pedestrians waiting at the gate of the city, the residents outside the city, and the business groups from south to north are all lined up. There are too many people. Wait for my people to open the road Come back to pick you up. "
Dewey is the young master of the Rowling family, and Count Raymond, the patriarch of the Rowling family, is now the No. 2 person in the military command. This officer is of course very polite to Dewey.
Du Wei smiled and nodded at him, then glanced at Mad: "Are we going to pick someone up at our earl's house?"
Just last night at the Acropolis in the south of the Imperial Capital, the cavalry of the Luo Lin family had gone to the earl's palace of the Imperial Capital to announce the master's return to the Imperial Capital.
Mad's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "Master ... it seems, no."
Du Wei smiled and laughed at herself: "My father, it's so pitiful."
After he said it, he waved his hand: "Wait, just go straight into the city." After that, he returned to the carriage and closed the window.
Emperor, no matter if you are Longtan or Tiger's Cave, in short, I am back! !!
Whoever wants my life, I want his life first!
Du Weiduan sat in the carriage with a sneer on his face.
