Chapter 215: The Scenery of the Royal Capital

The expedition army headed northward, crossed the plains, crossed the hills and crossed the river, and finally left the southwest province and entered the Shengyao Province.

Geographically, the Holy Island Province is located in the center of the Kingdom of Bemon. It is surrounded by four major provinces. The center of its core is the location of Ugru, the holy land of the Bemon beast tribe. The Kingdom of Bemon has established its capital for hundreds of years.

The scenery of the Shengyao Province is very different from that of the Southwest Province. It is full of large plains and grasslands. The numerous rivers have nurtured the brilliant civilization of Bemon. There are countless cities and villages along the way, which can be regarded as the essence of the kingdom.

Although it was the middle of winter, there were more and more pedestrians on the road leading to Ugru, and there were horse-driving knights everywhere, aristocratic convoys and gray camel merchants chasing interests.

Many wanderers, bards and down-and-out mercenaries were mixed in, and went to the heavenly land in their minds to look for opportunities.

The holy land Ugru is like a huge magnet that attracts people's attention. It is said that the huge king capital gathers millions of people and is also one of the few giant cities on the entire glorious continent.

However, no matter how many pedestrians were on the road, no one dared to stop the expeditionary army. In front of the battle flag of the kingdom, no matter how civilians and nobles had to avoid it, everyone knew that they should ensure the passage of the army.

However, the numerous towns on the way provided a lot of supplies for the Expeditionary Force, and the Kingdom set up special inn supply points along the way to ensure the full supply of the Expeditionary Force's materials.

Nearly a month after leaving Tormond, 50,000 expeditionary forces from the southwestern province arrived at the holy land of Ugru, at the Acropolis fortress fifty miles away from the royal capital.

The Lionheart Castle is the largest and most important military fortress to protect the holy land of Ugru. It was established by three hundred young Lionheart King Pecock Rhine, and here he defeated the invading barbarians and humans, thus establishing his reputation for a lifetime.

The Lionheart Castle is very large, with 50,000 garrison troops stationed and more than 100,000 permanent residents. Due to its location, the Lionheart Castle has also become a gathering place for the expeditionary forces of the three major provinces.

In order to welcome the army of more than 100,000 in the three provinces, the kingdom has already set up enough camps around the Lionheart Castle, so when the army of the southwest province arrives, there is no need to do it yourself and you can settle in it immediately.

The Expeditionary Force will also reorganize and equip here, and then head to the front line of the Far North Provincial.

Since the Southwest Province Expeditionary Force arrived the earliest, the soldiers still had enough time to rest.

As the elite elite in the expeditionary army, the camp of the Third Army had the best facilities and supplies. The independent brigade led by Leon also benefited from it and moved into the temporary wooden barracks - this was much cleaner and warmer than an open-air tent.

The Independent Brigade had just settled down, and Earl Octavia visited the barracks for inspection.

After a month of rigorous training, the independent brigade's appearance was impeccable, and the five hundred newly joined soldiers became much stronger, revealing the tough spirit that the beast tribe should have.

The Count was very satisfied with this and praised Leon for a few words.

"Baron Leon, this is your first time in Ugru?" the Count asked affectionately at last.

After receiving a positive answer, he smiled and said, "Our third regiment is the main regiment, so it is not included in the reorganization of the kingdom, so from now on, you have at least two weeks of vacation."

"If you have time, go to the holy land and worship the Holy Mountain Temple!"

To assemble a large army of more than 100,000 to expedition to the extreme north, even the Kingdom of Bimon, which has been conquered for many years, must invest a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, prior reorganization of armed forces is essential, and logistics support preparation is even more indispensable.

That's why the Kingdom issued a conscript order in winter. It took at least one or two months to do the spring of the Northern War that was conducive to the Northern War.

The climate of the Arctic Icefield is not comparable to that of the Southern continent.

Leon's heart moved, and when he mentioned the temple, he couldn't help but think of the High Priest Farns. Since he came to Ugru, it would be impossible not to visit the elder who had given him a lot of help.

However, Leon was not in a hurry to set out for the royal capital.

He stayed in the camp to supervise the independent brigade and insisted on training. After a few days, he saw that there was no problem, he entrusted the Yanchu to continue. He changed into plainclothes and light cavalry and took Qiangwei to the holy place that the Beimeng Beasts longed for the most.

As the steps approached, the Holy City King Ugru gradually revealed his true appearance to Leon.

The heart capital of the Bemonic Beasts is located on an open plain, with majestic and continuous mountains to the west, and a large river roaring south along the foot of the mountain.

The river brings abundant moisturizing water to the plains. It has rare evergreen forests on the northern plains. There are farmland farms along the river. Although it is not yet the spring sowing season, there are already many working farmers in the fields.

Go north along the main road, the closer you get to the capital, the more prosperous it is. The farmland on both sides of the road is replaced by large tracts of buildings, and the population is even more dense.

Like most big cities on the mainland, the royal capital Ugru is also divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city is actually the first city built, but after hundreds of years of development, the original design scale is far from meeting the needs of continuous influx of population, so it flourished outside the suburbs.

It is said that the number of residents living in the outer city is four or five times that of the inner city, and there are also countless farms, workshops, market shops and civilian areas. Various materials produced from all over the kingdom and locally are continuously imported into the inner city through the outer city, supporting thousands of nobles, priests, and royal people in the royal capital...

Going further forward, the true outline of the capital appeared in front of Leon, and the legendary holy mountain even lifted the mysterious veil for him!

The Holy Mountain is called a mountain, but in fact it is a square giant rock standing on the plain. It is several miles long and hundreds of feet tall, and it is dark red all over.

According to legend, the Holy Mountain is the place where the beast god Opa ignites the divine fire.

The entire capital was actually built around the Holy Mountain. On the Holy Mountain, there are the highest temple and the Bemon Palace. The two are one east and one west, and the divine fire pillar is used as the dividing line in the middle, representing the two supreme powers of the Bemon Beast clan.

For thousands of years, the holy fire standing at the top of the pillar of divine fire on the holy mountain has never been extinguished. All Bemon believed that as long as the holy fire is not extinguished, Bemon will never perish.

And the huge capital, just the towering city wall, is enough to make those who see it feel awe.

In front of such a city full of legends, even the most powerful warriors must lower their high heads.

With a slight indescribable mood, Leon and Rose entered the inner city, which was also the real capital of Ugru.

The prosperity of Ugru is beyond doubt. It can be regarded as the political, military and cultural center of the entire Bemon Kingdom. It is the highest place for royal and theories. There are many nobles, knights and priests everywhere. As for famous families, there are countless wealthy merchants.

The Knights Academy, Shamans Academy, Mercenary Union Headquarters, etc. of the Kingdom are all set up in the inner city, and the prosperity is hard to describe.

What impresses the most is the tower that stands in the royal capital like a forest, with sharp spires piercing the sky, and the pillars of divine fire on the holy mountain.

The streets of the Kingdom are very wide, enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages to pass at the same time, but even in this way, the road is very crowded and crowded. Leon and Qiangwei enter it like water dripping into the sea, instantly drowned and swallowed it.

Here you can see reserved nobles, arrogant knights, fat-headed and big-eared merchants, down-and-out wandering mercenaries, as well as many ordinary orcs, mammoths, butterflies, snakes... Many rare ethnic groups in other places are everywhere.

"There are so many people here..." Qiangwei held Leon's arm tightly, afraid that she would lose her way in the crowd.

After going to Tommond, she thought she had seen the most prosperous city in the world. When she got here, she realized that it was just a witch.

The girl was very glad that she made up her mind to run out with Leon, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would come here to show her horizons.

"Actually, I've seen a more prosperous city than this..." The scene in front of me touched Leon.

In his original world, there were cities with millions of people, and tens of millions of people. The scale was definitely unimaginable for people in this world.

"A more prosperous city..." The girl was speechless: "I really can't think of what that would look like."

Leon smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a hotel to live in first. Anyway, I have a lot of time. I will take you here for a good look in the next few days and go to the Holy Mountain to worship the temple."

"Okay..." Qiangwei leaned her head gently against Leon's shoulder.

Since that night, the relationship between the two has suddenly become much closer, and she has become much gentler in front of Leon, just like a girl in love.

Of course, there are many hotels in the royal capital, but the hotels next to the main street are very old. The copper sign hanging outside can tell that they have many years of history at a glance.

Leon looked for a few stores and asked, but he had already been booked if the customer had been fully booked.

One of the hotel managers kindly told Leon that it would be difficult to book a hotel in the royal capital without reservation, but it would be relatively easier to book a hotel in the outer city.

Leon was really a little unbeliever. He asked four or five hotels in a row, and the answers he received were almost the same.

However, he was lucky. When he asked about the seventh hotel, a couple of guests had just checked out and left. The manager said he could give him the house.

The amazing price of up to 220 gold coins per night also allowed Leon to see the other side of this super city.
