Power and Empire Chapter 2934: Civilization (16)
South Coast
Gazed at a huge white marble square obelisk facing the sky on the top of the mountain behind the city in the distance. Although it has gone through the vicissitudes of wind and rain, the world is unpredictable, it still looks from a distance with extraordinary momentum. , As if a holy place not part of the world is covered in the white snow on the top of the mountain, Turrett Colleen said with a sour sigh
"The Botilla monument was built in the Fiya dynasty a thousand years ago. During the Fiya dynasty, the Campos of Botilla used to be the biggest enemy of the Fiya dynasty in the south. Frederick I, a little-known prince, was leading the Fiya dynasty naval fleet to successfully defeat the then powerful Campos Navy in the waters of Botilla. Twenty years later, the talented and powerful prince Frederick I of the Fiya dynasty used The force conquered the inland sea area and completed the unification of the inland sea area"
"In order to commemorate the beginning of the victory, Frederick I decided to build a monument that can represent his majestic deeds on the top of the snow-capped Mount Yallins all the year round. It is the Botilla Monument, on the top of the mountain near the glacier. On the terrain, the heavy white marble was transported up to the mountain by manpower. It is said that more than 3,700 Campos prisoners of war died just to be able to transport the marble blocks to the mountain road! This place is used as a meeting place, and it seems that His Majesty is praised as King Frederick I a thousand years ago."
"As you know, I am not familiar with the history of Obalo. I am afraid that the other side's thoughts will be shown to the blind."
The fat man smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth, and shook his head helplessly. This time the Wish Tree Cultist nation had a very formal diplomatic meeting. As the head of foreign affairs, Turrit Collin must come, but I don’t know why. Upon arriving at this meeting place, the shrine maiden, who has always been lively and spiritual, turned out to be a little jealous
I have said several times around an old obelisk before and after, isn’t it just an obelisk? Isn’t it just to reduce the sacrifices of the Campos people, the honorable Princess of Campos? Ask Frederick I for a bedtime? More than a thousand years ago, German stories have been circulated in the south. For more than a thousand years, various versions have been born. The bards of Oubaro don’t know how much strange content has been added to their brains. Anyway, Fiya The dynasty is over long ago, and Frederick I, who is dead, can't even get up from the grave.
"Hehe, that's really hard to say. The ecclesiastical nations are people who only know their faith but don't know the shame. Besides, I know that the pope is the one who is less than sixteen years old."
Tullit Corinn's eyebrows were flying, and the corners of her mouth were charmingly smiling. She uttered the fat man's grievance that he had to withdraw from Lisbonto, but she thought that the Turit family was a descendant of the Fiya dynasty, in the eyes of the little witch With a trace of trauma, the glory of the Fiya dynasty will still make the Obaro proud after a thousand years, but how many people know how much bitterness and bitterness the Turit family, a descendant of the Fiya dynasty, has carried over the past thousand years Sadly, the women of the Turrit family bear a curse. They have the most noble blood and peerless appearance, but they can only hide in the dark. Until the man in front of them breaks the ban of the Turrit family, they are considered to be given to every family in the family. People are free, and the Turret family has now begun to develop into business. It can be considered to have improved with its own care. Although it has given up its political influence, it no longer needs to walk in the dark
The city of Botilla under the Botilla Monument has been burnt down four times in the long history, two times because of the unification war of the Fiya Dynasty, and the other two after the fall of the Fiya Dynasty. The fierce competition in the southern countries
However, when the fat man arrived, the beauty of the flower-filled city of Botilla in the historical documents was gone. What you saw was the brown, dry and cracked earth. The river bed outside the city was almost dry, and the city walls The foundation of the city is stone, but the upper part is made of earth. At first glance, it has been torn down and then repaired many times. In the weather at the end of April, the scene of the severe drought in the south is already very obvious. Because of the proximity to the religious group, the city You can also see the dome of the temple of the Order. The empire has always had a relatively loose policy on religion, especially in the south. As long as it does not affect the rule of the empire, the garrison of the empire turns a blind eye and closes one eye. Leah was included in the imperial control area last year. Before that, this once important southern economic and cultural town had always been controlled by local sand pirates.
This kind of sight is not just for Botilla, but it is like this in a radius of more than a hundred miles. The domestic turmoil of the Southern Order, coupled with the impact of the war, made the thieves rampant here, and the name is not talked about. If it weren’t for the emperor’s army to ensure the safety of the southern coast, it would not station troops in this almost desert outpost. Before the sand pirates evacuated, they would mercilessly burn down all the remaining buildings and burn them. The fire burned for three nights before it was slowly extinguished. So even if it was rebuilt, there were only scattered local people gathered on both sides of the streets in the city
The imperial guards in black armor stood on the main road in the city, with the yellow-orange-orange sun shining in the sky,
The natives in the city hid in the room, watching the outside carefully, panicking, so many emperor troops flooded into the city, I don’t know, I thought the emperor was going to slaughter the city, for the emperor* *Team, they don’t like it, plundering has been a habit of survival in this land for decades. When they need something, they just have to pick up a scimitar and step on the camel, but now it’s different, since the emperor* *The team entered this area, and the most powerful sand thief ran far away from this land. As long as there are crossing the border, the imperial cavalry with cavalry crossbow will drive them all over the ground like hunting
Even the fierce sand thief, they will be shot into hedgehogs when they encounter the imperial cavalry assault crossbow, and those sand thief who escaped the border by chance will often be cut off their heads and sent to the imperial camp. Go
Because the sand thief forces who control the area, no one wants to be surrounded by the emperor’s army. The sturdiness and brutality of the emperor’s army has scared the courage of the sand thief. Just find the emperor. As an excuse, the emperor troops stationed on the border will be mercilessly dispatched to surround the entire area until all the sand bandits are killed. As for those who have been affected, they can only be regarded as unlucky.
Cut off the sand thief's head and insert it on a wooden stake, and line up a horizontal line on the border. It has become the style of the imperial army to deter troubled places. On the border line, the longest row is ten miles long. , The biggest one, hacked the heads of more than three thousand sand thieves in one breath, and wiped out the most powerful group of sand thieves in the entire region. Those skulls with hollow eye sockets, whenever the wind blows, they will whine. The whining sound is like countless ghosts crying. Compared with the sand thieves who slaughtered and plundered, the emperor army, which used to keep their heads on their waists for military service, has been called the "black devil" by the sand thieves. "
After learning that this place was positioned by the emperor to meet, the border guards in the entire area were dispatched again. This time, all the sand thief ran at least three hundred miles before stopping.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a month." Sukhduo, the senior priest in charge of diplomacy in the sect nation, is wearing a large robe, haggard and sleepless eyes are full It was bloodshot. At the moment I saw the imperial guard cavalry enter the gate, the trembling of the body did not stop. The brutal name of the imperial emperor had long been spread throughout the entire Oubaro, and he stood above the throne and overlooked the entire Ouba. Luo Wei’s prey tyrant, as long as he thinks about it, the senior priest is so scared that he just wants to kneel down
"I'm very sorry, some things have been delayed. Your Pope is okay," the fat man said lightly immediately. I looked around casually,
"Your Excellency the Pope arrived yesterday afternoon and is already waiting for your Majesty in the prepared place"
Although Sukhduo tried to dispel the fear in his heart, if there was no pressure on the Emperor, he still kept him sweating with his hands, and the eyes of the Emperor Falcon pierced him like a sharp blade. In my heart, this is the real Lord of the Earth. Sukhduo passed a trace of sorrow, silently thinking, is the Pope's choice this time really right?
"Lead the way"
The fat man nodded. This is a place controlled by the Imperial Guards. I don’t worry about what the Order is doing. Although the Order also brought Black Knights, the number is less than 50. It should be. Beside the Pope and behind Sukhto, the fat man came to the meeting place, the Temple of Botilla. This temple built together with the monument on the top of the mountain was originally the core location of the city. At the beginning, the entire city of Botilla It was developed on the basis of travellers and merchants outside the temple. Although the entire city has been greatly reduced, the central position of the temple has not changed.
Sand people believe in gods
Even the sand thief who set fire at the beginning respectfully let go of the location of the temple. In a dilapidated city, suddenly saw the still shining temple, but it surprised the fat man. The specifications of the temple were not big. , But the eighteen carved gallery pillars are enough to make people feel bright, and the steps and floors paved with marble have already been cleaned and shiny by the people brought by the sect.
At the top of the steps, the fat man saw the pope of the ecclesiastical state, a girl with gauze on her face, a pure white gold-painted robe, and a sacrificial square hat on her head, outside Under the light of the sun, it is even more calm and calm. This pope, who is called the most beautiful female pope in history, did not dress up, but ordinary dress, only the neckline of the thin white robe, one Embellished with a small rose pin, standing on the steps of this huge temple, beside the elegant side, only a golden-haired cult knight stands behind
Pope Putamia of the State of the Wish Tree Church
The fat man’s breathing paused, and his eyes narrowed slightly. The sixteen-year-old girl was able to have such a calm air. Although the robe covered everything, although it was opaque, she could be clearly seen. On the body, there are bumps and bumps in every place, the tall one is almost one meter tall, more elegant, bright and golden hair curls. Like a good waterfall, it falls from the sacrificial hat, faintly shining with golden light in the sun, underneath the spring mountain-like eyebrows, there are a pair of deep blue eyes with mysterious brilliance, and the sculptures are as detailed and straight. The bridge of the nose is enough to show the woman’s self-confidence; the curved lips are beautiful and tender, delicate and full of vitality; the sharp, round, and individualized chin adds a sense of glamour to her glamour that people dare not look at. People can't help but the urge to worship
"Your Majesty Falcon!"
"His Royal Highness the Pope"
When the fat man walked slowly to Putamiya's side, he realized that being half a head shorter by a sixteen-year-old girl was indeed not an unpleasant thing. Putamiya was very timely and in accordance with the etiquette, folded her hands on her chest and bent down slightly to show her sincere respect to the fat man, avoiding this embarrassment,
"This time, Your Majesty is willing to come in person. It is really an honor for Putamia. The title of the Pope is not worth mentioning."
Pudamia said piously, her voice was not crisp enough, or even a little deep, but with a soft tone that sounded like a lover’s whispering in the ear, it was hard to resist. I want to keep listening
Deserving to be the leader of the biggest god-stick nation, I'm afraid that my talent to confuse people is about to explode,
"This should be the royal concubine of the Turret family!" Putamiya looked at the little witch next to the fat man with a somewhat inexplicable look, and her tone was faintly provocative. Meaning
"His Royal Highness is so polite. Aunt Affia specially asked me to greet His Highness." The fat man was unexpectedly surprised~IndoMTL.com~Turrit Collin's tone was rather unkind, and the fat man's face was slightly weak. Frozen, how could this smell like a rattling sword
"I will remember the care taken by the Turrit family to his mother! As for Aunt Affia, she is afraid that she will have trouble sleeping every night!" Hearing the name Turritt Collin mentioned , Putamiya’s deep blue eyes had a dreamlike color floating in it, and there was still a faint smile on her face, but the fat man felt that there was a deep coldness in that smile, and he couldn’t help but guess. Get up, a pope of a southern religious group, a witch of the Turrit family in the shadow of Obaro, if this is put in the world where you live, it will be a deadly enemy! Could it be that in this world, both sides are also mortal enemies! No wonder Turritt Colleen is full of something wrong when he gets here
"Your Majesty, don’t worry, the relationship between the Turit family and our cult state may not be as your Majesty thought!" As if seeing the fat man’s concern, Putamiya raised her head, her face blooming brightly. Smile. With a faint smile on his face, he said politely, "Moreover, Putamiya still distinguishes state affairs and family affairs. This request to meet with His Majesty is actually one thing, and that is, I hope that His Majesty can help me teach. The regiment nation sends troops. As long as the Falcon Empire is willing to help our regiment nation occupy Cornelia, our regiment nation is willing to exchange the entire southern region with your Majesty!"
