116th chapter “Capital” (part two)

With spectacular terrain and an all-enco next to the city, the iy froh the city In addition, with hundreds of years of expansion and reparation, the roads leading out of the capital has gained a fa known as “All roads lead to the capital”

Such a phrase is not blown out of proportion

After enerations of heavy financial investe traffic network covering the entire continent As long as one stays on thelocations: the provinces leading out to sea in the east, the great swamp in the south, the frozen forest in the north, and lastly is the great fortress city in the northwest Just like a plant, the capital has all of its root (roads) tapped into practically every nook and cranny of the continent, gaining itself the title of being the number one city on the Roland continent!

And because of its convenient channels, all of those elite regi the border can easily rush back to the capital at the fastest amount of time if unrest or rebellion ever occurs!

As the number one city on the continent, it is surrounded by four fortress city nearby in the: east, south, west, and north But since the empire have been at peace for hundreds of years, the radually faded aith tiuard responsible for protecting the capital is the siiuard only has around 100,000 people Yet, this regihting force within the euard was previously known as the “Thorn flower regied to achieve countless exploits while being directly led by his o when the Augustine dynasty began that the naning eon’s bloodline In order to hide this shaed to the “King’s Guard”

Nowadays, the uard is stationed into five different locations In the surrounding fortress cities, each are equipped with 10,000 soldiers As for the re 60,000 soldier, they are responsible for the city defense in the capital Also, there are specially selected elites a the palace

In addition to the King’s guard of 100,000 soldiers, there are also the 10,000 police force responsible for the cities law and order And let’s forget the small naval fleet parked in the capital’s port

After hundreds of years of peace, even the surrounding fortress cities around the capital have expanded to the scale of a large arrison soldiers, the number of residents that have taken up residence exceeded 100,000

All in all, the total population of the capital and the four fortress city is alreadythe influx of h the capital on a daily basis!

The day before, Du Wei and his convoy have reached the Southeastern fortress city in charge of that area Due to io any further than this place As such, the role of guarding Du Wei was passed onto the king’s guard stationed in the city

After resting the night in the city, Du Wei have finally arrived at the capital’s southeastern wall

Under the rays of thesun, the majestic walls of the capital were revealed to everyone’s eyes With a height of a fully grown adult, each of the boulders used to construct the city defense as not only sturdy, it is intiuard towers that are nearly twice the height of the wall itself With a 200 meter interval in between each of them, they could easily be converted into a battle station for long range weapons such as: ballista’s, catapults, and h the blueprints of terrible weapons like therelics fro powers

At the saical city on the continent

The tallest building in the capital is in fact a hundred h tower located inside the palace’s inner sanctum!

Fully white from top to bottom, the tower is constructed out of the finest white jade on the continent And after centuries of fortification spells imprinted onto the structure itself, the tower has become nearly impenetrable!

At the very top of the tower is an earth basednearly a ton! Known as the biggest crystal on the continent, it is shelved safely on top of a horseshoe shaped bend that is e quantities ofthis tower as the heart and center, a giant rained underneath the palace itself In its earliest state, it was still very rudiest enerations of ies to achieve such force

If the era of war ever befalls the empire, it is said that the palace still has a teaic union This special teaon and has been passed down through each generation by blood Though their nuiances are only to the royal court ic circle and activating the crystal inside the white tower, it would cause a chain effect around the crystals e the capital Once that happens, it would form a nearly indestructible barrier around the city defense wall! In the past when Aragon was still alive, it is said that he boasted that even the continent’s strongest race dragons, would not be able to break through this ic circle, those uard toould have sufficient energy to fire!

As a precaution, only the uard the white tower Other than the emperor himself, none is permitted to even come close to the towers proxi up to the tower to have look!

With such an elite aron, the capital has long been considered an ienerations have long since considered such an effort by Aragon to be wasteful and foolish because at the time, the continent was already unified There was no threat or opponent left to oppose hion persistently insisted the construction of such a thing None at the time really knew the reason why

For thousands of years, many historians couldn’t understand why historical documents never explained the reason why The only inforic array was

But thewas that no on’s death Generations of emperors that followed suit would always expend costly efforts to ic array he left behind
