Following the cavalry on the stone road where sewage flowed, Zhang Lisheng discovered that as the central city where the lord of Tatedu was located, he lived for a short day. When he looked down from the sky, he felt that the dirty and poor black square city was far worse than imagined. To be bad.
On both sides of the street, there are stone houses that are as tall as Romans and can only live huddled up;
Citizens who wear poorly tanned animal skins or burlap clothes, whose bodies exude an unpleasant odor, or whose eyes are dull, or whose demeanor is rude;
There are only grocery stores with dry red bacon, crude stone pots, stone basins and other meager goods, as well as appallingly inferior utensils. All these make the Tatdu Government Hall seem a little ignorant and backward compared to the real civilized world. Life there is simply as beautiful as heaven.
The rapid "papa" produced by the collision of the feet of dozens of dragon lizards with the stone floor resounded in the west corner of the city. Sitting on the back of the beast, he looked down at the citizens of Tatedu who were dodging as if they were running for their lives, and recalculated "Roman" Zhang Lisheng of the World Conquest Plan suddenly asked: "Knight of Osele, can you tell us what the name of the city under our feet is?"
"This is the city where Viscount Tatedu has lived for generations, and it is also the center of the Tatedu territory. Of course, the name is Tatedu City, distinguished guest." The young cavalryman looked at the civilians who were hiding arrogantly, using a matter-of-fact tone. said.
"Tate Capital" Zhang Lisheng thought for a while and then asked: "How many people are there in this city?"
"Twelve thousand people, one-third of the civilians in the entire Tate capital live in the Tate capital. This is also the largest city in the Sidon Hills." Osele rode a dragon lizard and followed the torrent of cavalry out of the city gate, proudly replied.
"Twenty-two thousand people. Oh, that's a lot. How many cities of this size do Tate have?" Although a city with hundreds of thousands of people living in it can only be considered a small city in Zhang Lisheng's hometown. County town, but he still asked in an admiring tone.
"Of course, there is only one. There are seven cities in Tate's capital. Apart from Tate's capital, Asna City, the largest city, only has 80,000 people." The young knight was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Dear guest, Are there two large cities in your territory with more than 100,000 civilians living there?"
"The largest city in my country has a population of tens of millions. There are countless cities with more than 100,000 people." Zhang Lisheng said with a smile.
"A city with tens of millions of people living in it. This is impossible!" The answer given by the man from another world was obviously beyond Osele's imagination. He shouted in surprise. As soon as he finished speaking, Ocelon, who was galloping at the front of the team, shouted sharply. Said: "Cavalry Osele. Don't forget that you are on the march.
Military judge. Mark down a whip. "
The cavalry commander¡¯s reprimand made Osele¡¯s face turn red. Just as he was feeling ashamed, he suddenly heard a sincere voice behind him, "Dear Captain Oselon. You strictly enforce military laws. Originally I had nothing to say, but after all, this march is to highlight the Tatdu people." With his kindness, he escorted me back to my own world.
The reason why the Osele cavalry violated military regulations was because I asked him questions first, and the reason why I asked questions was because I wanted to know more about the Tat leader.
You also know that Lord Viscount Tatedu hopes to form an alliance with my country, and the prerequisite for an alliance is mutual understanding"
"Okay guest, if you want to know more about 'Tatedu', you should ask the learned Master Etfugo, not my soldiers." Otheron interrupted the otherworldly man's plea with a buzz, but after a while Yes, out of respect for his loyal lord, he still compromised: "Military judge, the whipping of Cavalry Osele is cancelled.
Osele, this escort trip will cancel your status as an armed personnel. From now on, you will answer the guests' questions as a marching counselor. Do you hear me? "
"Yes, Sir Rider." Osele's expression softened, but he still replied with some reluctance as he drove his mount to follow the team and began to accelerate on the hilly land, rushing towards the endless dense forest in the distance.
When the tall trees were already in sight, the young cavalry heard a man's voice behind him again, "Knight Osele, why don't we ride a big bird through the forest? Wouldn't that be much faster?"
"There may be Silorian roving warriors with crossbows in the jungle. It would be too dangerous to fly in the sky." Osele replied in a low voice.
"Oh, really, in that case we may have to walk in the Amazon for a few days." Zhang Lisheng nodded, and the days that followed also verified his statement. Although the dragon lizard does not walk slowly in the primeval forest, It was four full days later that the cavalry team finally saw the shadow of the earth's city.
Under the setting sun, I clamped the scales on the belly of the riding beast under my crotch at the end of the dense forest, stopped the dragon lizard, took it out and put it on the seat.Taking a closer look at the map in his backpack, Otheron said without looking back: "Guest, we have arrived at Lunuk. One day further west we will reach the city of Tuyikano.
We are traveling all night today. If we arrive before tomorrow evening, how about you find a good place to stay and have a good rest? "
"Everything is up to you, Captain Othron." Zhang Lisheng looked at the city in the distance and said with a smile.
The obedience of the man from another world made the leader of the Roman warriors show a satisfied expression. Then he raised his right hand high to make a move forward gesture and began to lead the cavalry around the city.
Zhang Lisheng, who looked sideways at the heroic figure of Osele riding the dragon lizard, and his body bumped up and down as the mount ran, said in admiration: "Knight Osele, your rider commander is really an energetic person.
He has been keeping vigil every night for the past four days, but he is still in such high spirits now. By the way, I heard from the servants that Captain Othron is the most brave warrior in the Tate Command. Is that true? "
"That's true," Osele said in a low voice, looking at his commander with complex eyes of admiration, envy and a bit of jealousy: "Ever since the Viscount was injured on the battlefield, the cavalry commander was killed in a single battle. There are at most many Silorian warriors in Tat."
"After the Viscount was injured" Zhang Lisheng was stunned and said in surprise: "Did Viscount Tatedu really be a powerful warrior?"
"Of course, it's not even the founder of the territory, Lord Thunder." Osele replied.
"Really? How did he get injured?" Zhang Lisheng continued to ask with interest.
"In the summer of two and a half years, the Viscount encountered an ambush from the despicable Silorians while patrolling the Shire Mountains," Osele replied in a respectful and emotional tone: "Five hundred Tatdu warriors were on his way. He led a decisive battle with 3,000 elite Silorian warriors and killed a total of 2,750 enemies.
Three hundred and forty-five Tatdu soldiers died in the battle, and the rest were seriously injured, including the Viscount. If it weren't for this legendary record, he would not have kept his title for two years without being able to go to the battlefield. Much time. "
Hearing extremely useful information by chance, Zhang Lisheng had a flash of inspiration in his heart. He was silent for a few seconds and asked pretending to be unintentional: "Knight Osele, what do you mean by Viscount Tatdu retaining his title? Could it be that 'Roman' attacked him?" Isn¡¯t the title hereditary for life?¡±
"Of course," the young and immature cavalry from the ecstatic warrior family did not know how to keep secrets, and sighed longly: "But as a noble who does not have a strong protector and needs to protect the vast territory, if he loses his foothold, With the ability to go to the battlefield, abdication is almost the only option.¡±
"Oh, that's so unfortunate. Is this a stipulation in the "Chinese Code"?" Zhang Lisheng lowered his head and asked thoughtfully.
"You actually know the "Legal Code"!" Hearing the man from another world, who seemed very ignorant of the situation in the Roman world along the way, mention the foundation of Roman order, Osele was slightly surprised, shook his head and said: " If it was the law of the "Code of Justice", how could the Lord Viscount still be in office for more than two years after being injured.
It is just an old custom that great nobles who are unable to fight must abdicate. However, this old custom has always been observed by all the lords of the Western Continent. No matter how outstanding the Viscount's military exploits are, he cannot always violate it. "
"Really?" Zhang Lisheng finally vaguely guessed the reason behind Viscount Tatedu's insistence on forming an alliance with foreign powers at all costs. A sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said softly, and then continued until the cavalry team risked their lives day and night. He didn't speak again as he galloped outside the city of Tuikano.
Before sunset the next day, the destination finally appeared in front of the Tatedu warriors. The leader, who was still the leader, first reined in the beast, stopped at the edge of the jungle, looked at the city from a distance, and said expressionlessly: "Guest, we have arrived. .¡±
"Yes, Commander Othron, we are here.
I really didn¡¯t expect that I could return to ¡®Tuyikano¡¯ alive. "Zhang Lisheng's voice seemed to be trembling with excitement: "Thank you for escorting me all the way. I can walk the rest of the way by myself. I can't let anyone discover the special relationship between me and Tate Du. "
"I understand, guest," Otheron nodded, "Then I wish you a safe journey."
"I hope so. Please tell Viscount Tatedu that I will do my best to fulfill his wish." Zhang Lisheng climbed down from the dragon lizard with difficulty, took off the skin bag full of treasures, and staggered to the leader of the Roman warriors. The person beside him said goodbye: ¡°Goodbye then, Captain Othalon;
And the Knights of Osele and all the brave Tatdu warriors, farewell. May your military exploits shine brightly! ", strolling towards the distant city.
? ?After sending the figure of the man from another world disappearing into the west-slanting sunlight, Otheron silently turned the long body of the dragon lizard under his crotch and walked deeper into the jungle. Behind him, forty-nine Tatdu warriors were closely following him. Following, only two or three seconds later, the deserted and desolate scene of Tuyikano's suburbs had returned. (To be continued)
