Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 762

Yuzan’s Northern Army was stationed at Fort Karenbel, 300 miles west of the Clementine Fortress, and east of the Alps near the exit of the Western Corridor. After Yuzan appeared in the morning and issued a series of orders, he immediately took it. Five hundred guards came non-stop.

The distance of three hundred miles can be reached in half a day for the Northern Army equipped with excellent northern horse breeds, not to mention the Yuzan who has midnight.

The western part of the empire, the headquarters of the Western Legion, the Clementine Fortress.

“who!”

From a distance, seeing a dusty field of Yuzan with a group of about five hundred well-equipped cavalry, immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers at the gate of the fortress.

“Immediately pass on General Goering, commander of the Western Legion, and His Royal Highness the Regent of the Empire is here in person!”

An accident, a big accident.

Even the guard on the tower felt incredible after getting a report from his subordinates.

The relationship between the Regent Yuzan and the Western Legion is known to even three-year-old children in the West. The two sides have almost reached the point of endless death. Now they heard that the Regent came to the headquarters of the Western Legion, and the other party only brought only 500 people. Come.

But since the other party has already reached the gate of the city, of course I can’t help but accept it, and now this matter can’t be helped by a small person like him, so he quickly ordered the men next to him:

“Immediately go to the command department and report to the general! Send the news back here…”

Yuzan was sitting on his back at midnight, watching the fortress that has been standing in the west of the empire for many years under the city, and no one knew what he was thinking…

The Clementine Fortress is not so much a militarized fortress as a huge city, and it is also the largest city in the Western Empire, and the administrative military center of the Western Empire.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

This is a military city built completely in accordance with the standards of the imperial high city. The city wall is a first-class fortress built according to the imperial royal city system. It should be twelve meters high, but Yuzan can see that the city wall is at least fifteen meters or more.

Even the city wall, like Lelang City, the northern administrative center, was built with the strongest boulders transported from the north. The tall and majestic circular city wall is extremely defensive. There are some small slings and cannons, not to mention the bows, arrows and ballistas.

Outside the walls of the Clementine Fortress, there are several large military camps around, where the army usually exercises, there are also cavalry training grounds, large-scale horse farms for feeding horses, and forage yards. The city is completely like a militarized city, but behind this militarized city, it also has many other facilities like some big cities inside the empire.

The empire has been operating here for many years, and most of the residents in the city are the families of the soldiers of the Western Legion. Although this situation will cause certain hidden dangers, the empire is still relatively cautious in this regard, not only sending one every two years. The imperial envoys came to inspect, and the corps commanders and deputy commanders of the western corps were also replaced every five years. There will never be a situation where the term of office exceeds five years.

But now this kind of decree is like a piece of waste paper. Because of the decline in the national power of the empire, and the complexity of the Western side, the entire Western legion has almost become a statement of warlords, not only the imperial envoys and legions dispatched every two years. He was embarrassed, even if his tenure was changed every five years, there was no way to mention it, and these members of the Western Legion also had a lot of collusion with foreign nations in the West…

And in this militarized city, you can see the people coming and going, most of them are soldiers of the Western Legion, who go out on shifts. Although they are dressed in casual clothes, the way they walk is full of killings in the army. Gas.

Even the family members of the soldiers in the city are dressed plainly, rushing to and fro, the city is in order, and there are cavalry patrols from the Western Legion, horseshoes and horses, and the cavalry on horseback stands tall and has a pressing aura.

Perhaps the actual capital of the West, called the Western Barrier by the empire, is a bit less prosperous and hustle and bustle than other cities in the West that Yuzan has passed through, but the entire city gives Yuzan a sense of more. Kill.

Today’s Clementine Fortress is still as “prosperous” as usual. At this time, the “invasion of foreign nations” has not yet been heard. No, it should be said that it has not been made public by the senior officials of the Western Legion, so the entire huge fortress feels at all. There is no depressive atmosphere before the war, but this is only a superficiality. In Yuzan’s view, this is completely a method of deliberately confuse outsiders by the senior leaders of the Western Legion, and the entire fortress is completely loosened and tightened…

“Tap…Tap…”

A sudden sound of footsteps interrupted Yuzan’s thoughts.

I saw a trot at the gate of the city in the distance, and a big man with a beard and a beard came. It was the gatekeeper who heard his subordinates report and confessed some of his affairs.

“The guardian of the West Gate of the Clementine Fortress of the Western Legion, Harden, see His Royal Highness the Regent!”

“Well, General Harden, don’t have to be polite, flat! I have come to the Clementine Fortress today and I have been in the West for so long. I haven’t visited General Goering, commander of the Western Legion. I have come to visit today. , Please lead the way!”

Nodding lightly, Yuzan said.

Although Yuzan’s words did not show arrogance and contempt, his unquestionable tone and extremely oppressive aura immediately made the defender Harden, who was about to refuse, to hold back his prepared words. , And constantly frightened in my heart.

“Sure enough, it’s not as well known as meeting. I used to hear how powerful this regent is, but I didn’t expect his power to be… I should be so scared…”

“Yes! Your Highness, please come with your humble position!”

This city gate guard is also very smart. He knew that he could not stop the opponent. Although he was a little frightened by Yuzan’s aura, he calmed down after all, knowing that if he stopped the opponent, he would lose more than the gain. The contest between the big guys was not something that a little guardian of the city gate could participate in, so he immediately replied respectfully.
