Chapter 215 Wangdu Fengwu

The expeditionary army went all the way north, crossed the plain, crossed the hills and crossed the river, and finally left the southwest province and entered Shengyao Province.

Shengyaoxing Province is geographically located in the center of the Kingdom of Bimon. It is surrounded by four provinces. Its core center is the location of Uglu, the holy land of the Bimon orcs. The Kingdom of Bimon has been established here for hundreds of years.

The scenery of Shengyao Province is very different from that of Southwest Province. It is full of large plains and grasslands. Many rivers have bred the glorious civilization of Bimeng. There are countless urban villages along the way, which can be called the essence of the kingdom.

Although it is the middle of winter, there are more and more pedestrians on the road to Uglu. There are knights running horses, a noble convoy and gray camel merchants chasing interests can be seen everywhere.

Many vagrants, bards and downtrodden mercenaries are mixed in it, going to the holy land of heaven in their minds to find opportunities.

Uglu, a holy place, is like a huge magnet that attracts people's attention. It is said that the huge kings gather millions of people and are one of the few giant cities on the whole glorious continent.

However, no matter how many pedestrians there are on the road, no one dares to stop the footsteps of the expeditionary army. In front of the battle flag of the kingdom, no matter how the civilian nobles can only avoid it, everyone understands to ensure the passage of the army.

On the contrary, many towns on the road provided a lot of supplies for the expeditionary army, and the kingdom set up special station supply points along the way to ensure the full supply of expeditionary military supplies.

Nearly a month after leaving Tormond, 50,000 expeditionaries from the southwestern province arrived in the holy land of Uglu, at the Acropolis Fort Lion Heart, 50 miles away from the royal capital.

Lion Heart Fort is the largest and most important military fortress in Ugru, the holy place of arch defense. It is composed of three hundred young lion heart king Pecock. Rhine personally established and defeated the invading barbarian and human joint army here, thus establishing a reputation for a lifetime.

The scale of Lion's Heart Fort is very large, with 50,000 garrisons and more than 100,000 permanent residents. Due to its location, Lion's Heart Fort has also become a gathering place for the expeditionary forces of the three major provinces.

In order to meet the army of hundreds of thousands of people in the three provinces, the kingdom has already set up enough camps around the Lion's Heart Fort, so when the army of the southwest province arrives, there is no need to do it by itself at all, and it can be stationed immediately.

The expeditionary force will also carry out reorganization and equipment here, and then go to the front line of the Far North Province.

Since the expeditionary force of the southwestern province came the earliest, the soldiers still had enough time to rest.

As the direct elite of the expeditionary force, the camp of the third regiment is the best in terms of facilities and supplies. The reading brigade led by Leon also took advantage of it and moved into a temporary wooden barracks - which is much cleaner and warmer than an open-air tent.

As soon as the Reading Brigade settled down, the Count of Oktavia came to inspect the barracks.

After a month of strict training, the military appearance of the Reading Brigade is impeccable, and the 500 newly added soldiers are much stronger, revealing the fierceness of the orcs.

The count was very satisfied with this and praised Leon.

"Baron Leon, is this your first time to Ugru?" The count finally asked kindly.

After getting an affirmative answer, he smiled and said, "Our third regiment is the main battle group, so it is not in the ranks of the kingdom, so from now on, you have at least two weeks of vacation."

"Go to the Holy Land and worship the Holy Mountain Temple when you have time!"

Gathering more than 100,000 troops to go to the far north, even the Kingdom of Bimon, which has been fighting all year round, has to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the prior reorganization of armed forces is indispensable, and logistical support preparation is even more indispensable.

That's why the kingdom will issue a conscription order in winter, and wait until the conscription forces of the three provinces are assembled and ready before leaving for the front line. It will take at least a month or two, just in the spring of the Northern War.

The climate of the polar ice sheet is not comparable to that of the southern continent.

Leon's heart moved. When it came to the temple, he couldn't help thinking of the high priest Farns. Since he came to Uglu, it was impossible not to visit the elder who gave him a lot of help.

But Leon was not in a hurry to leave for the capital.

He stayed in the camp to supervise the reading brigade and insisted on training. After a few days of seeing that there was no problem, he entrusted it to the rock hammer to continue. He changed into plain clothes and rode lightly and took the roses to the most desirable holy place of the Bemeng orcs.

As the footsteps approached, the holy city king Ugru gradually showed his true face to Leon.

The heart capital of the Bemon orcs is located on an open plain. On its west side is a majestic and continuous mountain range, and a big river roars to the south along the foot of the mountain.

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

To the north along the road, the closer to Wangdu, the more prosperous it is. The farmland on both sides of the road is replaced by large buildings, and the crowd is extremely dense.

Like most large cities on the mainland, Wangdu Uglu is also divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city is actually the originally built city, but after hundreds of years of development, the original design scale is far from meeting the needs of the continuous influx of population, so it has flourished in the suburbs of the city.

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. All kinds of materials from all over the kingdom and locally are continuously imported into the inner city through the outer city to support thousands of nobles, priests and royal families in the royal capital. ... Going forward, the outline of the real royal capital appeared in front of Leon's eyes, and the legendary holy mountain opened the mysterious veil to him!

The Holy Mountain is said to be a mountain. In fact, it is a square giant rock standing on the plain. It is several miles long and hundreds of feet high, and its whole body is dark red.

In the legend, the holy mountain is the place where the beast god Opa lit the divine fire.

The whole king is actually built around the Holy Mountain, and on the Holy Mountain, there is the highest temple and the Bimon Palace, one east and one west, with the divine fire pillar as the dividing line in the middle, representing the two supreme forces of the Bimon orcs.

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

And the huge royal capital, just the towering wall, is enough to awe people who see it.

In front of such a city full of legends, even the most powerful warriors have to bow their heads.

With an indescribable mood, Leon and Rose entered the inner city, which was also the real king's capital Uglu.

There is no doubt about the prosperity of Uglu. It can be called the political, military and cultural center of the whole Kingdom of Bemon. It is the highest place of royal power and theocracy. There are many nobles, knights and priests are everywhere, and there are countless famous families and rich merchants.

The Kingdom's Knight Academy, Shaman Academy, Mercenary Trade Union Headquarters, etc. are all set up in the inner city, and the prosperity is indescribable.

The most impressive thing is the forest-like tower standing in the royal capital. A sharp spire pierces the sky and contrasts with the divine fire pillar on the holy mountain.

The streets of the kingdom are very wide enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages at the same time, but even so, the road is very crowded, and the crowds are bustling. Leon and Rose entered it like water dripping into the sea, and were instantly submerged and swallowed up.

Here you can see reserved aristocrats, arrogant knights, fat-headed merchants, depressed wandering mercenaries, and many ordinary orcs, mammoths, butterflies, snakes... Many rare ethnic groups are everywhere in other places.

"There are too many people here..." Rose held Leon's arm tightly for fear of losing her way in the sea of people.

When she went to Tormond, she thought she had seen the most prosperous city in the world. When she got here, she knew that it was just a little witch.

The girl was very lucky that she had made up her mind to run out with Leon, otherwise she really didn't know when she would come here to show her vision.

"In fact, I have seen a more prosperous city than this..." The scene in front of me touched Leon a little.

In his original world, instead of a city with millions of people, there are tens of millions of people. The scale is absolutely unimaginable for people in this world.

"A more prosperous city" the girl was speechless: "I really can't figure out what it will be like."

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

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

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

Naturally, there are no fewer hotels in Wangdu, but the hotels next to the main street are very old. The copper signs hanging outside have a lot of history at a glance.

Leon found several companies to go in and ask. If the guests are not full, they have been booked out.

One of the hotel sergeants kindly told Leon that it was difficult to book a hotel in the capital temporarily if it was not booked, but it was relatively much easier in the outer city.

Leon really didn't believe it. He asked four or five hotels in a row and got a similar answer.

But he was lucky. When he asked about the seventh hotel, a pair of guests had just checked out and left, and the siding officer said that he could give him the house.

And the amazing price of up to 220 gold coins a night also let Leon see the other side of the super city.
