The sun lazily showed half a smile in the gap of the clouds, and the carriage drove briskly on the spacious road.
Ryan stretched a long lazy waist and sat in a carriage for several days. It seemed that even people were numb. Ryan admitted in his heart that the carriage was faster than walking anyway, but he still thought that walking was a little more comfortable.
Unlike the last time I went to the city of El Mida, Ryan and his party left the city of Alfa and walked faster and faster along the way, and they became more spacious. Three carriages can be taken side by side on the main road of Alfa City, but now at least six cars can be taken side by side. Ryan listened to Faras and said that by the time he reached the center of the capital city of Fernando, the road over there was the widest in the entire empire, and he could walk 8 brand-new carriages side by side.
"Maybe, this is the style that an imperial center should have?" Lane thought secretly.
The sound of a distant horseshoe sounded, causing Ryan to take back his thoughts. He lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned out his head, and looked down at the sound, only to see a dense black shadow in the distance coming toward himself.
The carriage on the road almost drove to the side of the road, giving way to the wide road.
For a moment, a black and crushed knight appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. They were all wearing golden armor. Each knight is holding the horse rein with his left hand, and a long war gun is held high in his right hand. The horses under their seats were also covered with thick leather horse armor, revealing only two horse eyes and four horse hooves.
Ryan asked Alando in the same car strangely: "Why are there so many knights here?"
Allen thought for a while and answered, but was completely covered by the sound of the horseshoes of the cavaliers passing by the carriage.
After the group of knights walked far away, Ryan asked again: "Ellendo, what did you just say?"
Ellendo said: "If I guessed right, it has entered the Imperial Capital."
Ryan asked: "Oh? How do you know?"
Allen smiled and said, "In addition to the Imperial City, there is a cavalry army in the entire empire that dares to come out so blatantly."
Ryan asked: "Can only the Imperial Capital have cavalry?"
Ellendo said: "Yes, Fernando I built the empire, but divided a large number of lords. Each lord has absolute authority on his land, as long as he can pay taxes according to the empire's regulations, even if he Willing to support a large army. In addition, there is only one requirement, that is, no heavy cavalry army. "
Lion said, "Heavy cavalry army?"
"Yeah, the entire empire, only the imperial city of Fernando, can legally have a heavy cavalry army, that is, the Royal Knights. Look at the group of knights wearing heavy armor, and even the horses are wearing leather armor. If If it ’s not the Golden Knights, then it can only be a rebellion of a certain lord. "
Ryan said: "I see. But why do you dare to say Ellendo can't be the treason of other lords?"
Allen smiled and said, "Lane, it seems that you have little experience in this area. You need to know that training a heavy cavalry requires at least a warhorse and a set of cavalry-specific armaments, which is not a usual support. Basically, the gold coins spent by one such heavy cavalry are enough to support 20 light infantry. The group of cavalry just said that there are more than 1,000 people. If a lord deliberately wants to betray, then he can support at least 20,000. Infantry. The lords who can support more than 20,000 troops, not much of the entire empire, and certainly not near the imperial capital. "
Ryan scratched his head. It seemed that he knew too little about the military.
Elendo said: "I do n’t know much. But no matter what, dozens of lords of the empire would be stupid enough to have heavy cavalry, even if only ten guard cavalry, the emperor knew that he would immediately commit rebellion Penalty. Even Senat, who has already betrayed, has only trained some light cavalry. "
Lion said: "Then the heavy cavalry are the knights of the Royal Knights. Isn't the bacon we know in Giethoorn also the Royal Knights?"
Allen nodded and said, "Don't forget that Bacon also invited us to be a guest. Since you've arrived in the Imperial City, it's better to find some time to see them."
Lion agreed: "Okay."
Ryan asked loudly the driver who was driving outside: "Excuse me, how long will it take to get to the capital?"
The driver's voice came: "Hurry, guest. This is already within the scope of the imperial capital. Didn't you see the group of knights just now?"
Ryan asked aloud: "Oh, what's going on with those knights?"
The coachman said: "In the Imperial City, there will be a squadron of Royal Knights patrolling every day, and they will travel all over the suburbs of the Imperial City. If they encounter them, just drive the carriage to the side of the road and avoid it."
Ryan shook his head. This is really a strange rule. Why should the Royal Knights run around?
Ryan lifted the carriage curtain and boredly looked at the scenery outside the window.
On both sides of the road, trees are planted and arranged neatly. They look like the forests of their hometowns, but the number of these trees can be much less than the forests of their hometowns.
In the gap between the woods, there are vaguely pieces of farms. A large number of farmers are working hard in the farmland beside the road, I don't know what is planted. Ryan glanced at the speeding carriage and could not recognize what was falling down, as if he had never seen such a plant growing on a shelf with branches or the like.
I don't know how long it took, Lane only felt the sky getting darker. Just as Ryan was thinking about stopping or taking a rest, a majestic city in the distance suddenly caught Ryan's vision.
Ryan only had a glance and was completely conquered by the city!
The huge and thick city wall is approaching, giving a strong sense of suffocation!
The carriage was moving fast, and Ryan's heart was jumping faster and faster. This city, which has stood for 200 years, kept emitting a breath of life, as if telling passers-by.
Finally, the carriage drove into the city gate, and Ryan only felt that his eyes were black, and there seemed to be no light between the world and the world.
Ryan was wondering, and suddenly there was another light in front of him. The carriage was driving into the corridor of the city gate. It is said that horse carriages can be used on the walls of Fernando City. Naturally, the corridors inside its gates are also very long.
Ryan looked back to the strongest barrier of the imperial capital, and kept sighing in his heart. It can be predicted how painful his enemies will face when facing it.
Although the carriage entered the city, its speed was not affected at all. Ryan looked at the wide street outside the carriage window. He suddenly remembered the town of Yangjiao. That's right. Only the vast prairie outside Yangjiao gave this feeling to him.
Is this the imperial capital? The heart of a huge empire!
