The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

The moment when the walls of the Black Man City finally came to everyone's eyes, it was the glorious era of 1225 and the early morning of June 21, 532 in the federal calendar. At that time, the sun had just emerged a little white from the towering mountains at the end of the eastern horizon. The fresh air of Asahi filled the nose with the smell of fragrant soil and grass in the fertile soil on both sides of the Heishui River. There is a touch of sweet fragrance of melons and fruit, which is haunting and refreshing.

The early morning of early summer should have been such a world full of vitality and health. The severe cold and shackles of winter should be completely liberated at this moment. The young girls can finally be happy, because they can finally get rid of the ugly and thick warmth like cotton balls, put on a light dress, and show their youthful appearance. Of course, boys who are in a period of vigorous secretion can also be happy, even if they are in the poor and unlucky eggs that no one loves to be alone, at least they can get at least the welfare-a feast on the street. Everyone will be happy.

Sure enough, spring is only the season of germination, and summer is the season of youth, love and life!

However, on this dark summer city wall in the misty early morning of the early summer, the Confederate six-pointed star flag dimmed dimly on the metal flagpole, as if the dying old tree had lost its vitality and crown.

The last time Lu Xi came to this city, it was a city with a long history but a broken and chaotic city. The disrepaired walls, scattered messy houses, the merciless mercenaries and adventurers walking in the streets. The street girl with heavy makeup and other professionals who walk in the gray areas on the edge of society. This should be a city that is very unfriendly to those who are safe and secure, of course. For a quiet and beautiful man like Lu Xi who has a strong backstage and character and absolutely restless himself, it is also a city full of strange charm and vitality.

At this time, the Black Man City has been under federal rule for more than a year and a half. During this period, if you want to build the Heman City into a confederation of the kingdom of heaven in the eastern fulcrum and agricultural center of the mainland, it is indeed a huge investment in the construction of this ancient adventurer "paradise".

The federal government itself has no money, but the federal gatekeepers are a rich and powerful country. And in order to secure the funds for the development of Heiman City. The seaweed dad of the Wickbach family and the squinting dad of the Dandy Laine family are the big and second heads of the two aristocratic factions. Together, they did a “big thing” at the beginning of last year, auctioning the land around the Heishui River Basin around Heiman City as capital auction and quickly accumulating a large amount of capital. Similarly, several years of tax exemption are exchanged. In exchange for the federal nobility and even the multinational chaebol who participated in the auction, the new territory in the Heishui River Basin will only develop agricultural promises.

For this matter, Master Rasell, who has always been an opposition and a minority, kept a strange silence.

After quickly returning a large amount of funds, the federal government “proclaimed” to use all the funds to build the entire city ’s defense system, and also organized new immigrants to form their own guards to encourage nobles Build a castle as a support point for the official defense system.

The aristocratic nobility department proposed such a plan, perhaps to make it easier for them to take kickbacks, or to divide the fruits of the federal victory in a way that looks particularly "reasonable and legal". but. In any case, this program has indeed gained an effective heart. So, the defense system of Heiman City has to reach a completeness that can be justified in such a short time.

Currently. The walls of Heiman City have been very well strengthened. The broken and collapsed walls in the past have been repaired, and the old areas have even been pushed back to new, solid bricks. The main orientation of the city ’s defense, the average height of the wall section north of the north has increased by more than five meters, and many new towers have been built, equipped with scorpion crossbows, catapults, and a certain number of flame crossbows; even if it is considered " The enemy cannot appear from this direction. Along with the city walls on the southwest and south side of the water gate side of the Heishui River, it has also been repaired to some extent. Other than that. The Heman City Garrison Command only planned to build an urn in the north, but this project has only completed the design, and even the preliminary planning has not yet begun.

In addition, it is said that there are eight "official" castles outside the Heman City, scattered in the plains belonging to the federal territory. Large ones can host thousands of people, even if they are smaller. Residing three to five hundred people. As for the private castles built by the nobles, there are said to be more than 20.

These large and small castles, together with the main force of the garrison stationed in the city of Heman, have formed a perfect defense network, protecting hundreds of large and small farms and hundreds of thousands of federal immigrants in the Heishui River Basin.

The premise is that the defenders are as reliable as those newly built walls.

Lu Xi smiled coldly, looking at the wall that was obviously taller than the last time he came, but always felt that the place was much weaker than last time, as weak as a building block, as long as the baby's With a light touch of your finger, you can collapse suddenly.

Two inland transport ships, along the direction of the Heishui River, slowly approached the direction of the water gate of the city wall. It wasn't until Lu Xi, who was standing on the front deck, could even see the appearance of the defending soldiers on the city walls, the sergeants who defended the city made a surprised and nervous voice and fell into a state of panic. It wasn't until nearly a minute later that an archer of about fifty meters was standing by on the wall of the water gate.

Lu Xi shook his head slightly, while Sai Xili around him sighed deeply with a painful tone.

"Why such a big reaction? If it is really an enemy, this time is enough for me to release a large-scale magic on the city level." Lu Xi shook his head.

"Don't say such things that people will misunderstand!" Sai Xiluo shouted, and then she couldn't help shaking her head and smiled: "Really, what are the investigating mages doing?"

"I thought the Federal Army stationed in the Black Man City. Even if it is not reliable, at least it should be more reliable than the temporarily organized adventurers and mercenaries we met last time." Lu Xi said.

"Mercenaries and adventurers lack organization and discipline, and they are all used to it. It is difficult to make orders prohibited. But they are all warriors who have seen blood, and they can only give enough rewards. The enemy also had the courage to fight. "Sai Xiliu said:" However, the defenders of the Black Man City are all Army soldiers transferred from within the Federation, plus a lot of private soldiers who cooperate with the nobles ... The floating fleet of the Federal Navy has seen blood anyway, but the Federal Army, except the Eastern Army, has not seen real war for a long time. Of course, it also includes the Central Armed Forces. "

"In other words, is it a group of road specimens?"

It took Sesiri three seconds to understand the meaning of the word. I could n’t help but sigh again: “It ’s better than that. The road samples of the forbidden army are all young men who are tall and tall, and have high training and equipment quality. As long as they can survive the adaptation period of recruits, they are all Can become a soldier. Er. At least the possibility of becoming a soldier. But the garrison in other places ... As far as I know, it has been infiltrated by various gates and valves. Except for the sequence of the Sixth Army. Outside the Eastern Corps, and the banned troops from the first to the third legion, the reorganization rate of the soldiers in the other eight legions is less than two-thirds, and the names can only be found in the records of the military department The “invisible soldiers” I have never seen before. In addition, many middle- and upper-level officers of the regiment even directly treated the soldiers as their own servants, arbitrarily swearing, and even took up most of their time to do private work for themselves. Come on. The minimum training time is gone. "

"Empty vacancies ... It's really a sight-seeking and uncreative act of corruption. Of course, since all the vacancies are eaten, let alone military spending." Lu Xi sighed: "Master Rasell can In this case, the basic military expenses of the Forbidden Army, the Eastern Army and the floating fleet are maintained. It is really not easy to leave a minimum face and combat troops for the Federal Army! Of course, I also understand the Eastern Army at that time. The reason for owning a small vault. "

"Yeah, I was disgusted at that time! Now think about it, I was really naive." Sai Xili smiled self-deprecatingly, then said seriously: "Heiman City's garrison should be the Ninth Legion and the Twelfth Legion. However, due to capacity reasons, it has only reached one third of the original plan. It is about 15,000 people. Of course, how many of these people are professional soldiers who have received basic training, but they are not. That ’s it. It is said that when the federal government ordered the deployment of the two legions in Heiman City, the Ministry of Military Affairs also commissioned special personnel to go to training. Many noble officers who ate empty had to find many people from the territory to change their names. The surname was squeezed into the army, and it was barely enough to get the number of people into * ...

"Uh um, La Zhuang Ding ... this is really getting more and more immediate." Lu Xi nodded seriously.

"But in any case, the two legion chiefs arrived with the first troop of the early stage. It is said that there was the Ninth Legion of General Hilda? Dandy Lane, and the Twelfth Legion of Bernard? Major General Gen .... From this perspective, at least they are quite responsible. "Sai Xiliu said.

"In a sense, it is not necessarily good news." Lu Xi smiled reluctantly.

Sai Xiluo's eyes widened, and he didn't seem to understand why Lu Xi said that. Nicole on the side said with a smile: "Lu Lu means that if these two generals are not here, Lu Lu can take power with his own position in the minds of the Black Man City and ordinary federal soldiers."

"... even if it is true, you don't have to say it in front of so many people. In addition, Sai Xiliu, don't look at me with this kind of look at anti-institutional dangerous elements." Lu Xi slipped. Lie on the lips: "I have the confidence to guard the city again, but only if the big figures here are really willing to listen to me. If they are teasing, for the sake of the citizens and soldiers and the federal plan, it is okay. In extraordinary times, I used extraordinary means. Well, unfortunately, I have come to the two generals. Even if I am a person like this, if I come into contact with the command of the generals, the psychological pressure will be very strong. "

"... this, this, you guys, don't make a mess!" Sai Xili's eyes widened, her voice raised octave, but she could not help but sigh tiredly, shoulders I couldn't help but collapse: "Okay, I'll let you be kidding, anyway, I haven't heard anything ... Uh, but Lieutenant General Dandy Lane has been the army commander for so long, Even if you do n’t have much ability, at least you should be able to listen to the opinions of others? "

"I know, the squinting cousin." Lu Xi's extremely ironic smile seemed to be saying: "I have always used the greatest maliciousness to estimate the IQ of the nobles."

"Well, there is Major General Eugen. This is a federal general! The reputation among the low soldiers is also very good ... it should be a reasonable person."

"I hope so." Lu Xidao said: "The enemies that I had to face were already in trouble. I don't have to devote my energy to cope with office politics during this period of egg pain."

In the unattended conversation, the ship has entered the range of the crossbow on the tower. He heard a crossbow explode from the wall and fell into the water at the bow of the ship.

"Stop the ship immediately! Let me know your identity, otherwise, we will start attacking!" A clear and powerful voice came from the tower. The master of the voice should not be too old, but it is quite majestic and heroic.

Lu Xi finally nodded ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Finally, the federal defenders in this city are not completely incurable. However, soon, he suddenly realized that the voice was still familiar.

"It's Carol!" Sai Xili showed a surprised look.

"Well, it is indeed the non-mainstream middle-aged and rich family son, but it is the 3.5 enhanced version. The upgrade made me unable to hear it." Lu Xi couldn't help but walked to the bow of the ship.

His appearance and figure finally appeared in the sight of the federal defenders above the city, but unfortunately he did not attract the cheers of the mountains and tsunami he expected and the legendary red flags to greet the sky and drums, but it was a strange In the silence.

"I'm a three-star master of the League of Knowledge, Federal Navy Major Lu Xi? Belem Custer, please open the door to let us pass!"

His well-known surname still caused a silence, and after a while, he heard a fierce quarrel, and then a voice spoke slowly, not Carol, but a listener. It sounds a little stiff and even with a bit of hostile voice: "Take out a convincing proof! Strangers, otherwise, we will still attack!"
