Chapter 639 (1/2)
It seems that the prosperity of the imperial capital was not greatly affected by the war. Since the beginning of this year, the war situation in the North seems to have greatly improved. First, Duke tulip conquered the occupied eastern fortress, and then general arpaye of the Western Front succeeded in successive raids. A series of news of victory, big or small, filled the public with optimistic comments.
Originally, for the vast majority of people in the Roland Empire, no matter the upper class or the middle and lower class, they never really regarded the invading monster race as a serious problem. After all, the power of the empire is here.
The Empire owned the whole continent with a vast land and a large population. Human civilization was also in a relatively developed period. Under the leadership of the wise regent, the national strength gradually recovered, and gradually got rid of the dusk of Augustine VI.
For most people, it's just that the war in the north is a relatively large-scale local war. Even more people think that the invading monster races may not be as threatening as the northwest prairie people who have been fighting with the Empire for decades.
This time, the little emperor, his majesty Charles, went to the front line to reward the army. The news spread that he was optimistic. Even the people think that if we are optimistic, the war may end tomorrow.
Moreover, because of the war, the military industry vigorously developed by the Empire, whether it was food or ordnance, also greatly stimulated the productivity of the people.
After all, for an empire with a whole continent, there is still a lot of potential to tap.
The Empire invested in the official purchase, which stimulated the great enthusiasm of the non-governmental chambers of Commerce. For a time, the imperial capital gathered the teams of some relatively large chambers of Commerce in mainland China. They all came to the imperial capital in droves, trying to sharpen their heads in the finance department and the Logistics Department of the headquarters, trying to get in and open a way to get an order from the imperial government.
During this period of time, the busiest person, no doubt, was promoted before the war to be the minister in charge of the logistics supply in the theater. The fat man at Mount Delan.
For several consecutive years, the tulip family was under the pressure of Delan mountain Warcraft. Although everyone had a good personal relationship, and the fat man also understood the reason very well. Knowing that the tulip Duke was just red, he could not compete with each other, so he simply did not fight. But since the war, after he was promoted by the fire. He also made a lot of war money by relying on his power, and his family's weapons industry was full of power.
In the private ranking of the powerful circle within the imperial capital, at least this year, the drummon beast has finally overtaken the tulip family in the Empire's wealth list. Although the fat man doesn't say anything, he is proud in his heart.
Of course, what dranshan Warcraft doesn't know is that many of duvet's industries are underground. Not exposed to the table.
On this day, the capital is still as noisy as ever, but suddenly at noon, an unusual thing happened in the northern gate!
At noon, the city gate guards are meticulously checking the city defense clearance, and then suddenly, dust rises in the distance of the road. A team of cavalry came running like a whirlwind!
This group of cavalry seems to have more than 300 riders, but it seems to be extremely arrogant when they run. They come all the way, regardless of the new people and the motorcade on the road. They run so fast that they even trample on their horses!
At the foot of the capital, so arrogant behavior. All of a sudden, there was chaos.
The cavalry crashing into the gate? What's the point?
The guards of the king's city will be ready immediately! But when the cavalry came near. But found that the original number of the other side is only more than 100, but it is a person with two or three riding. It seems to be a long journey. Crazy along the way, with more horses, you can change horses, maintain foot strength and speed.
It is rare even in the army to have such a tense rapid march, not to mention in the central area of the imperial capital?
The city guard was about to stop, but the other side's horse team came from a distance, and the leading riders were in the front, showing their flag from a distance!
In the hands of several knights, each holding a different flag, respectively: a northern theater of emergency military intelligence card! And... A golden thorn flower flag!!
Seeing such a scene, the soldiers who were guarding the city did not dare to stop. Although the cavalry came in a rampage, trampling many pedestrian convoys all the way, yelling and yelling, they quickly opened the city gate, armed with weapons, and scattered all the civilians queuing into the city under the gate!
Such behavior, even if the people around dissatisfied, but also dare not shout what, the atmosphere for a time become very nervous, as if to predict, it seems that something big happened!
The cavalry rushed under the gate like a whirlwind, without stopping at all. Like a gust of wind, they rushed into the city. The dust from the horse's hooves was flying all the way, which made the soldiers and civilians under the gate disheartened.
Moreover, the cavalry came from afar. Although they were very tired, the cavalry on the horse were all the best among the best! Although the formation of a group of cavalry was a little scattered, it was obviously not ordinary cavalry!
When this group of cavalry entered the city, the soldiers and civilians under the gate could not help murmuring: such an urgent collision with the gate, was it the military information from the North coming back?
Didn't you win again?
Suddenly, someone was worried in a low voice: ”looking worried, it doesn't seem like winning the battle. Is it...”
Others immediately retorted: ”bah, bah, bah! There are heroes like the Duke of tulip in the front line. How can we lose the battle! ”
Others are talking about it, but the officer guarding the city has a complicated look on his face!
It's a coincidence that the officer guarding the city is an old soldier. He has been guarding the city gate all the year round. Just now, this cavalry team rushed in. He just saw that among the riders, surrounded by all the riders, the innermost one was clearly a young man in a long robe! Although the young man's head with a hat, but just a quick glance, but just to see each other's face!
It's... Your majesty?!
What scares the officers is, isn't the little emperor rewarding the soldiers in the north? What happened. How did you come back in such a hurry?
On the square outside the Imperial City, a group of people on the street turned upside down, and that group of riders almost savagely collided with passers-by all the way! There were countless injured people trampled on along the way, but the cavalry was so fast that even the patrols of the surrounding security office didn't respond, and they had already rushed to the area of the imperial city!
The imperial guard around the square quickly came up, but then the cavalry stopped. The man in the middle rode to the front, and the murderous soldiers saw the man coming. They knelt down and cried ”long live your majesty”!!
Little Charlie looks tired, his physical strength has almost reached the critical point of collapse. He's only eleven years old. Even though he has been trained in riding since he was a child, his physical strength is extremely difficult to support!
But when the news reached the north, little Charlie, who was rewarding the army, didn't dare to delay half a day? All of a sudden left everything. Hurry with people all the way south to the imperial capital!
There were thousands of cavalry coming back with him all the way, but in order to maintain his mobility on the road, little Charlie temporarily ordered to leave some people and give up their horses, keeping the number of three or four hundred people, at least three horses for each person. It was almost a long-distance galloping day and night!
Although, there are accompanying court magicians. Little Charlie was given a lot of magic drugs to supplement his strength. But so hard work, but also let the 11-year-old boy almost fell down.
At the moment, when he finally came to the palace gate, Charlie's first reaction was to look up at the flag on the wall of the imperial city. He saw that the golden thorn flower flag was still flying, and there was nothing unusual. It was a little relieved to see that the soldiers guarding the imperial city were still dressed in armor and had no special service.
If the day to hold this tone of relief. Charlotte felt soft when he was in bed. At that time, he shook his body and fell back. It's amazing. Two bodyguards quickly came to help him. Charlie shook his head hard, gritted his teeth and pushed the people around him away. He said in a low voice, ”I can walk by myself!”
He took another look and came out to meet the officer of the Imperial Army: ”come on! Take me to town! I want to see my father! Right now! ”
All the way into the Imperial City, Charlie even couldn't take care of the emperor's return to the palace to share a series of bathing etiquette. He almost violently pushed away the court etiquette officials and servants in front of him, and couldn't wait for the court waiter to lead the way. He didn't even take off his leather armor, and he was still wearing riding boots, so he ran all the way!
