Chapter 113
Charlie and Ruhr entered the territory of the Byzantine Empire. After crossing the border, they first arrived at the small town of Denzel, not far from the northern border. This is a small town with a permanent population of 10,000, but because of the location There are many floating people throughout the year, and law and order also appear chaotic, but the border trade has brought a lot of vitality to this small city.
During the war with the Odin, the interim military headquarters of the theater was set up here.
Denzel is not too far from Yehuo Town. It only takes two days to ride a horse. If you hurry up, you can reach it one day and one night.
Although it is just a small city, it is more than double the size of Wildfire Town. The wide and tall walls show part of the military role of this border city. Once the war comes, this city can be immediately transformed into a military force. Walled. According to the empire and military law, the city walls were built according to the level of military fortresses, six meters wide and eleven meters high, and corners with protruding towers.
The first time Tutu came to Byzantium, and it was the first time that he saw such a big city, his eyes could not help being enough. Compared with Yehuo Town, although the bustling degree here obviously passed that ruthless and small town, The garrison soldiers wearing infantry armors and the Byzantine Imperial flags, military flags, and fan flags flying on the walls.
The buildings in the city are obviously much taller than Yehuo Town. When you walk into the city, the earthen owl hardly stops turning its neck, and desperately widens its eyes to go sightseeing.
Compared with Wildfire Town, it looks more civilized. People walking on the streets are slightly brighter, and the style of service is more obvious with Byzantine characteristics: Men mostly wear long linen robes and long boots. Lift the tip of the boot.
The kind of robe that cuts the waist to the narrowest reflects the strong physique of a man, and men with weapons on the street can be seen everywhere, some people dressed as samurai, wearing cheap leather armor or iron chests A, the samurai badge of the wearer, but this number is significantly less than that of Wildfire Town.
There are more shops on the roadside, more smiths, and more pubs, but it ’s strange to Charya that Byzantine women are obviously more conservative than Wildfire, and most of the women who come and go are wearing capes on their heads. That is, to protect the wind, and at the same time to cover the face, and the body is relatively conservative. Only some women who look luxurious in the clothes will wear silk robes to enter and exit some clothes under the help of the attendants. Shop or grocery store.
The city of Denzel is occupied by the army. There are soldiers dressed in the army everywhere in the city. Since the war is over, these soldiers seem to have started to rest, and even the pubs on the roadside will be stunned from time to time. Running out of a few drunk guys, Xia Ya looked at it and could not help frowning.
These slack military discipline guys can never be seen in the 13th Corps.
Not only is Denzel a much larger city than Wildfire, but the area around the city is also more diverse.
There are many small villages around the city, which are covered with large arable land. The city of Denzel is administratively part of the county of Moore in the northern part of the empire, which is also a very important grain-producing area in the northern part of the Byzantine Empire. More importantly, it is still under the direct jurisdiction of the central government of the empire, and has not been assigned to the Tema military area. After all, this is a frontier. Although food is produced, and there is oil and water at the border trade, once with the Odin people The war is always the first threat here. Therefore, none of the tapeworms in the military department are willing to **** this site.
In a word ... the governors of the so-called Tema military region have long been aristocratic warlords ...
The commander of the Provisional Military Headquarters of the Theater is General Clark from the Empire and the Military Headquarters. This guy is a strong proponent of the Tema Military District system. His own family has a Tema Military District in the southeast of the Empire. At the same time, General Clark himself also held important positions in the Empire and the military.
However, when Charlie followed Ruhr to the temporary army headquarters in Denzel, the Clark general did not show much hostility to Charlie, although this earthworm brought a lot of warlords in the army. trouble.
With almost a very sloppy attitude, Clark performed a ritual of honour that was too simple to honour, and shoved a gold badge of courage into the hands of the earthen figure. He did not even give it to himself in accordance with etiquette. Put it on, and then even the military ritual didn't work, and hurried away under the aegis of several adjutants, as if he was worried that staying beside the soil turtle for an extra minute would cause trouble.
The simplicity and hastyness of the honour ceremony made Ruhr look a bit unsightly.
"Fuck, if you come to receive the little white face of Bonfrette, the guy will be 100 times more enthusiastic, and will invite the noble celebrities in the city to come and observe the ceremony, the honor guards will play the music, and the red carpet will be spread directly to the door ... The honor-giving ceremony for your kid, I'm afraid that I've seen the rashest thing in my life. "
Xia seemed to care nothing. He was holding the gold badge, and his heart was busy figuring out how much such a piece of gold was worth ... well, the weight is so heavy, should it be pure gold?
People in the Provisional Army did not wait to see Charya, Charya didn't care a bit. Anyway, now it's ... a business trip with money and money.
The Provisional Military Department filmed a fat quartermaster to take care of them. (Are the quartermasters full of brains? Dotu is very confused.)
Charlie opened his mouth for the food and accommodation, stayed at the best hotel in the city, and asked for the best meals and wines. The other agreed quickly, and even the quartermaster quietly gave him a Inside the bag, there are twenty slap-shaped gold cakes! Such a piece is enough for a family of several people to eat and wear for more than a year!
Then, a few first-class war horses were drawn to Charya. These good horses were mounted by the military.
The Provisional Military Department has only one requirement: you kid, get out of here immediately after eating!
Under the instruction of Ruhr, Charia simply banged the bamboo poles and knocked out a few sets of top-quality cavalry armor equipment. The soft armor was made of fine soft steel produced in a famous mining area in the southern Byzantine Empire. Light and superior defense, such a set of soft armor, usually only the flag regiment-level officers are qualified to equip one and one must also be the main battle flag regiment!
Seeing that his uncles all wore this expensive soft armor, Xia was finally satisfied. Ruhr next sighed: "Fuck, I was only qualified to wear such armor after seven or eight years in the army. You guys, you are so extravagant ..."
Charlie rolled her eyes: "It seems that you taught me what happened!"
The attitude of the other party is obvious: you can do anything, but please get out of the way as soon as possible.
Charya was also unambiguous. She had enough benefits, and soon fled and left.
By the time they left Denzel, the two Charms of Charia had mounted excellent warhorses from Doodor and Soyt, wearing expensive soft armor, and even the immediate saddles and stables were only enjoyable by senior officers. Good stuff.
Not to mention Xia, he is wearing a set of knight armor worth at least hundreds of gold coins. This is a set of knight half-body armor, which is light-weight. Each armor leaf is made of high-quality soft steel. Areas, such as the chest, back, and shoulders, are inlaid with thickened steel sheets. The shape of the armor is the most standard look of the Imperial Knights. Although it is a way to wear a knight ’s armor as Char ’s current identity, this time he has made great achievements and it is already a matter of nailing a title.
Riding a pulling red warhorse, this warhorse was selected by Ruhr for him. According to the fat, this level of warhorse can stay in the top five even if it is in the mount of the 13th regiment general of the empire. of.
Riding such a fine war horse, wearing a knight light armor, behind him was wearing a bearskin cape given by the military, and Dodoro and Soyte behind them were far beyond the ordinary flag regiment, If you do n’t know Xia ’s identity, I ’m afraid that anyone will think that it ’s the general of that regiment!
In contrast, Ruhr, who was walking with Xia, was a real general who seemed to be Xia's follower.
Charya had planned to knock on a good carriage to hurry, but Ruhr refused.
The fat man actually told Xia a word in a rare, serious tone.
"Soldier, don't take a car!" Said the fat man. "The soldier who wants to enjoy is no longer a true soldier! This is my teacher, Lord Minas told me. UU reading book www.uukanshu.com"
※※※
Although Moore County is not the Tema military area, the empire's peasant system has been going on for a hundred years. After leaving Denzel City, passing some small villages along the way, you can still see some dressed in military service, but carrying Farmer working with a **** and shovel in a farm field. Each village has an empty training ground, but the peasant soldier system is declining after all. Obviously, the weapons in the hands of these peasants have already rusted, and the weeds in many places on the training ground are all high.
After leaving Denzel, the fat man's mood was obviously strange. He received the latest order at the military headquarters in Denzel, making him sure to arrive in the capital of Oslo in 15 days. At the same time, his commanding duties of the Sixth Corps temporarily gave the First Banner of the Corps the commanding officer .
In addition, Ruhr was also required to serve as the front-line commander of the war in person to report to the military headquarters.
It is said that the order was urgently transmitted the night before Ruhr and Charlie arrived in Denzel with a special magic formation in the military.
(Sorry guys, it's a little bit late today, the second one will arrive sooner please wait a moment )
