May 19, Morocco Royal City Rabat.
The serpentine Bou Regreg River originated from the Middle Atlas Mountains in the north-central part of Morocco, flowed south of Rabat, passed the calm Rabat seaport, and finally injected into the vast Atlantic Ocean.
To the south of the Rabat port, there is a long and narrow land, straight into the Atlantic Ocean, like a promontory. Military Fortress is built at promontory, which is the famous Kasbah of the Udayas.
The towering city wall, the tall city gate, and the tall raised watchtowers together form the castle's first fortifications. The magnificent main hall and various palaces in the castle are scattered, and in the middle is a garden with strange flowers. Gaspar near the castle is the castle's place of soldiers.
The majestic Kasbah of the Udayas constitutes the Outpost position of Royal City Rabat's marine defense. Any enemy army who wants to launch an attack against Rabat from the sea must first pass the Kasbah of the Udayas level.
The current Morocco Nation King Mohammed VI has a 50,000 Imperial Guard Army stationed in the castle.
Looking over Kasbah of the Udayas and adjoining the south shore of Bou Regreg River is the main body City Region of Royal City Rabat. In this way, there is a natural barrier to the north and west of Royal City, which is a strategic place.
To the east of Rabat City is the newly refreshed satellite city, which is guarded by the only one Subterranean World entrance of the largest Guild of Morocco.
satellite city at this time is more lively than the main City Region, attracting more than half of adventurer player. Therefore, at this moment the real Livelihood in Royal City is mainly Livelihood player(s) and casual player(s).
In Arab, "Rabat" means "bundled". It sounds surprising at first. Why does a country's Royal City use such an unlucky name?
According to legend, long ago, Rabat was just a small village near Atlantic Ocean. At that time, Nation King bound the arrested prisoners and incoming war criminals with ropes, and ordered the soldiers to **** them to heavy labor. As more and more people were sent in, the village gradually expanded to form City, which resulted in a strange name — — Rabat.
Rabat City in the game is a typical Arab city, city wall is red, and there are many ancient Arab buildings and mosques in the city.
Whether it is the solemn Rabat Royal Palace or the solemn Hassan mosque, it is a typical Islamic style building. Compared to the steep and majestic western Gothic architecture, or the Indian architecture with too strong religious color, Islamic architecture is imaginative, solemn and changeable, majestic and elegant.
It's like the dome of the Hassan mosque, which looks rough but full of charm.
There are all kinds of handicraft workshops in the streets and alleys of the city. The Livelihood and production methods of the residents still have a strong medieval style.
In the early morning, a red sun rose slowly from the surface of outside the city, announcing the arrival of a new day.
The sun shines on the dome of the mosque, so that the whole temple is bathed in golden light, and it seems more and more sacred. Rabat City, who had slept all night, accompanied by the sea surface morning sun, gradually woke up.
The workshop that has just stopped all night has revived the familiar voice of hard work.
In the streets, the early residents walked out of the Arab ethnic style exquisite houses, and gradually gathered together, or dine, work, or go to school, to start their own new day.
To the people in the city, this is just a very ordinary day.
The entire city is filled with a warm Arab style grace and bearing, which makes people intoxicated.
The port of outside the city is equally lively.
There are those fishing boats that got dark and got up early. Summer is the most active season for tuna. Framed tuna is randomly placed on both sides of the wet road on the pier for buyers in the city to choose.
In addition to tuna, there is also a wide variety of seafood.
Under the sun, the faces of Fisherman who are happy because of the good harvest are getting warmer now.
The Kasbah of the Udayas guarding the promontory is also bathed in golden light, and the night Soldier on the city wall welcomes another shift. The soldiers who stayed all night yawned and dragged their exhausted bodies down city wall.
The energetic new soldiers took over the sentry and faced morning sun to begin a routine inspection.
The expressions of the soldiers are not very tense. For a country like Morocco located at the corner of Continent of Africa and adjacent to seas and oceans, the war seems far away from them.
Especially for the Royal City people, they don't even know what war is.
Morocco The only three remaining Lords in the country are still in peace. No one can merge with each other, so naturally there is no strength to attack Royal City.
Compared to the frequent wars, Vying Warlords Struggle for Dominion's China Region is really paradise here.
At seven o'clock in the morning, a tall sail suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. In a blink of an eye, the sails are getting higher and higher, and the number is increasing.
"What is that?"
Kasbah of the Udayas The soldiers on the lookout post first discovered the anomaly on the sea surface.
Some soldiers took out the telescope and finally saw the Mediterranean Fleet that had crossed the sea level line, and muttered, "That's Battleship, not merchant ship."
"Battleship? Can you see which country's Battleship?"
"It is Mediterranean Fleet of Great Xia Dynasty."
On Atlantic Ocean, the China God Dragon banner of Mediterranean Fleet can be described as unique. In the past six months, when Mediterranean Fleet to Atlantic Ocean annihilated pirate, occasionally, it was temporarily supplied to Rabat City.
So Kasbah of the Udayas soldiers are no stranger to Mediterranean Fleet.
"That's no wonder. Listening to General, Mediterranean Fleet recently annihilated pirate in Atlantic Ocean, and recently they also blocked the nearby sea domain. It is estimated that this time it is the return of annihilation pirate, let's supply it." >
At this time, the soldiers still did not realize the arrival of Catastrophe.
The release of alarm, the soldiers were drawn to talk, naturally the chat is the Mediterranean Fleet that appears now. A soldier said with a smile: "I heard that Great Xia Dynasty has been mixed in Mediterranean Sea recently. Alliance disintegrated. Allies parted ways. It became the target of Mediterranean Sea."
"It's not right, so now only at Atlantic Ocean can you show your strength."
"a dying, starved camel is still bigger than a horse, Great Xia Dynasty, Mediterranean Fleet, even if we lose the Mediterranean Sea's sea control, it is not something we can provoke. Don't forget, there is a King Dynasty behind them."
"That ’s what I said. I heard that Great Xia Dynasty has a larger territory than our entire Morocco. His Majesty has a million Iron Armor master, and even Richest Under Heaven."
"Don't you see the Eastern Merchant coming and going to King Dynasty? One by one, rich oil."
...
When the soldiers chatted, Royal City Merchant, which has been doing business at the docks all year round, also found Mediterranean Fleet. This time, the Eyes of the Merchant became instantly bright and bright, with the light of gold coin flashing in their eyes.
"Here is the big fish!"
"Big deal, big deal!"
Merchant rubbed their hands unconsciously, without concealing the greed in their eyes.
When Mediterranean Fleet First Formation and Second Formation enter the Rabat port, they are waiting for Merchant, and they are ready to release the hoarding materials in their hands.
I saw First Formation driving in the forefront, didn't stop at the port at all, but continued to go upstream along Bou Regreg River. 40 Yuzhan Battleship lined up in turn, it is spectacular.
"What's going on?"
Merchant see this, some are confused.
According to the example, every time the Mediterranean Fleet of Great Xia Dynasty stops here for resupply, the provisions materials that need to be purchased are massive. This is the case. Merchant are very eager for Battleship to park and resupply here.
Strangely, Mediterranean Fleet usually only stays in the port and does not go up the river.
"Did they find that our asking price is high?" The Merchants were a little hesitant.
Royal City Rabat, in addition to the main port of the port, is on the south bank of Bou Regreg River, near the main City Region, and there is also an inland river terminal, which can also be docked for supply.
Although the two terminals are less than ten miles away, the prices of goods are different. Merchants often bully foreigners who do not understand the market and raise prices at the main terminal to gain huge profits.
"This is a miscalculation!"
Seeing Battleship firmly heading towards the upstream dock, the Merchant were annoyed.
Of course, the annoyances of Merchant are just superfluous after all.
Because of the outbreak of war, it's often just an instant.
Just after eight o'clock, Mediterranean Fleet stopped suddenly after being in place. Before people responded, the muzzle on the Battleship produced a huge number of shells on the Shooting.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Whether standing at Kasbah of the Udayas of promontory or North city wall of Rabat City, they are all within the range of artillery fire. The continuous fire shook the whole Rabat City.
"What's going on, what's wrong with open fire?"
A lot of people do n’t turn around and do n’t know what happened.
"It's Great Xia Dynasty's Mediterranean Fleet, it's their open fire." Someone was frightened.
"Oh my God, what's wrong, are you going to fight?"
Livelihood People in peacetimes simply cannot adapt to this sudden change.
The Kasbah of the Udayas garrison first responded.
The defender High-General turned black and gritted his teeth and said, "This group of Evil Wolf, white-eyed wolves, has shamelessly used our trust in them to declare war, shamelessly !!!"
"Quick, open fire fights back."
The Artillery is also arranged on the castle, but because of the shortage of funds, the entire castle is only the 20 gate Artillery, which is their only dependence now.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
both sides began first round confrontation, and more and more gunfire erupted.
Kasbah of the Udayas was built on the promontory, almost surrounded by the sea. Under the intentional arrangement of Mediterranean Fleet, the city wall on all sides was subjected to artillery fire.
The modified P1-type Artillery is not vegetarian. In an instant, the castle's watchtower, city gate and other parts were under the "care" of Artillery, crumbling, and the collapse was only time issue.
