Chapter 116 Imperial Capital (Part II) All

roads lead to the imperial capital!

This sentence is not blown out.

After spending the huge financial resources of many generations of dynasties, with the imperial capital as the center, it went east to several provinces along the sea, south to the swamps in the south, north to frozen forests, and west to the border fortress towns in the northwest. A vast network of transport hubs covering the entire continent. Just like the blood vessels that give the imperial capital the heart, there is an endless stream of tourists, business groups... These coupled with hundreds of years of construction, make the prosperity of the imperial capital above the top of the entire continent!

Moreover, the convenient passage made it possible to make any turmoil or crisis in the imperial capital. Then those elite legions guarding the east, west, south and north of the empire can rush to the imperial capital to suppress the rebellion in the fastest time!

As the first majestic city on the mainland, there are four acropolises around the imperial capital, east, west, south and north, and these four acropolises were originally used as military fortresses to guard the imperial capital. However, the mainland has been peaceful for hundreds of years, there has been no war, and the role of military fortresses has gradually faded.

The Royal City Guard Legion, which is now responsible for guarding the imperial capital, is the smallest of the five major legions in the empire's main battle, and the other main battle legions, such as the Stormwind Legion guarding the edge of the frozen forest in the north, have a strength of 200,000 people. The Royal City Guards Legion, on the other hand, has only a strength of 100,000 people. But this is recognized as the most elite legion on the continent. It is also the oldest and most brilliant army on the continent.

Its predecessor is the "Thorn Flower Legion" that once rode across the north and south of the continent under the command of Aragon during the founding war of the Roland Empire. It was only hundreds of years ago, after the Augustinian dynasty, because the bloodline of the real Aragon had been severed. After all, the later emperors were not from an orthodox bloodline, so in order to dilute and cover up this, the Thorn Flower Legion was renamed the "Royal City Guard".

And now, the military power of the imperial capital, the royal city guards, in the four acropolises on all sides of the imperial capital, each stationed 10,000 people, in the imperial capital there are 60,000 people. On weekdays, he is responsible for the defense of the imperial capital. There are also some specially selected elites who are responsible for guarding the palace.

In addition to the 100,000 troops of the royal city guards, the security post of the imperial capital also has 10,000 garrisons, and on the port facing the Lancang Grand Canal in the north, there is also a small naval fleet with the imperial capital as its home port.

After hundreds of years of peace, even the four acropolises around the imperial capital have gradually developed into a large city, outside the garrison on weekdays. It became an important trading city and also had residents, all with a population of more than 100,000.

Plus the four acropolises, as well as the military forces of the imperial capital area, and the main city of the imperial capital. This is the largest metropolis of the land. The total population has exceeded two million. And the perennial floating population cannot be calculated.

Du Wei and his party had arrived at the Acropolis southeast of the imperial capital the night before, and the local garrison guarding them could not continue to advance, according to the imperial decree. Local troops are not allowed to enter the area near the imperial capital without authorization. In the Acropolis, the local garrison left, and the task of protecting Du Wei and his party was given to the Royal City Guard.

After resting in the acropolis for the night, early the next morning, Du Wei and the others, under the protection of a group of royal city guards, came to the southeast wall of the imperial capital.

Under the rising sun, the golden sun shines on the majestic walls of the imperial capital, the walls of the imperial capital. Each piece is made of huge stones almost one person high, and the cyan megalithic wall, which has been continuously renovated by several generations of dynasties, has reached an almost terrifying level in terms of defensive strength.

Above the city wall, there is a tall watchtower every two hundred meters, which is much higher than the wall next to it, and these watchtowers can be turned into long-range arrow towers with strong defense during the war years. It is equipped with the military's giant ballista. And the main city upstairs. 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, it has also been carefully maintained by military magicians on weekdays. Once the war resumes, these relics of history can also erupt with terrifying power.

At the same time, the imperial capital is also a magic city on the continent.

The tallest building in the imperial capital is a 100-meter-high tower erected in the most central position of the imperial capital in the inner city in the center of the imperial capital, that is, in the imperial palace, that is, in the imperial palace, according to the construction of the city defense!

The tower is all white, all built with the finest white jade, and has been blessed by the magic of countless magicians on the mainland for hundreds of years, and it is extremely strong!

At the top of the White Tower, there is the largest magic crystal in the entire continent, which is said to be nearly three meters in size and weighs a ton! And this crystal is set in a horseshoe-shaped curved frame at the top of the tower. The shelf was made of a certain black stone essence that was harder than metal, and when it was originally built, it spared no expense to mix it with a large amount of extremely expensive Mithril silver! to increase the power of magic!

With this white tower as the center, the entire underground of the palace hides a huge magic array, the earliest time, by the empire when the empire was founded, His Majesty Aragon, led a group of the continent's top most powerful magicians to set up, and later experienced the improvement and addition of countless powerful magicians in descendants, making this magic array more and more powerful.

Once in the war years, it is said that there has always been a magical union in the palace, which was established in the Aragon era and passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, although the number is small, but only loyal to the royal court magicians. This team of magicians supports the magic array, after activating the huge magic crystal at the top of the white tower, then the magic array is centered on the white tower, and then the arrow towers on the walls of the imperial capital on all four sides are supported by the crystals of the magic array, covering the entire imperial capital! It is said that the defensive force is so strong that when Aragon was alive, he once boasted of Haikou, even the most powerful race on the continent, the dragon race, poured out, and could not break through this powerful magic array!

And relying on the activation of the magic array, the magic guide cannons on the main city tower on all four sides can get enough magic power and become a powerful fire point on the city tower!

The white tower in the palace is guarded by the most elite forces, and no one is allowed to approach on weekdays. Not to mention going up! The only one who can freely enter and exit the White Tower is His Majesty the Emperor himself!

There are the arch guards of these hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and there is the powerful magic array left by Aragon back then. The imperial capital is already known as a city on the mainland that never falls.

Back then, Aragorn spent so much effort to set up that magic array here, in fact, descendants always felt that doing so, spending so much financial and material resources, was really redundant.

Because at that time, the continent had been unified, the empire had been established, and there was no threat and strong opponent on the entire continent. And Aragon seemed to be desperately trying to make the imperial capital into such an iron barrel array, and everyone did not know why.

For thousands of years, many historians did not know why. The history books have only dealt with this matter. I didn't dare to ask any questions, but I just spent a lot of effort to render the infinite power of this magic array.

Strangely, this seemingly useless magic array, after the death of Aragon, successive emperors, although Aragon's bloodline gradually broke off and the dynasty changed, but. Every generation of emperors, even if there have been a few absurd dim monarchs in history... However, these emperors all have one thing in common, they all spent great efforts to repair and enhance this magic array during their own tenure!

The end of the Aragonese dynasty did not leave this magic array in ruins. If Aragon had a broken brain. It took a lot of money and material resources to get such a luxurious decoration... So could it be that so many emperors in the next nearly thousand years have broken brains?

There is also a legend here, it is said that the founding emperor Aragon left a secret suicide note in the palace that future generations of emperors must spare no effort to preserve this magic array!

No matter how the dynasty changes later. This has almost become an iron rule of the royal family! For thousands of years, the codes left over from the Aragon era do not know how many generations have changed, but this iron law has been strictly followed by successive emperors.
