Law of the Devil

All roads lead to the imperial capital!

This sentence is not blown out.

After spending so many generations of dynasties' huge financial resources, with the imperial capital as the center, go east to several provinces near the sea, go south to the swamps in the south, go north to the frozen forest, and go west to the border fortress town in the northwest. A The huge network of transportation hubs covers the entire continent. It is like a blood vessel feeding the heart of the imperial capital. There is an endless stream of tourists and business groups... These, coupled with hundreds of years of construction, make the prosperity of the imperial capital surpass the The top of the entire continent!

Moreover, the convenient passage makes it possible for the elite legions guarding the east, west, north, south, and south of the empire to rush to the imperial capital to quell the rebellion in the fastest time if any turmoil or crisis occurs in the imperial capital!

As the most powerful city on the mainland, there are four acropolises in the east, west, north, south, and north surrounding the imperial capital. These four acropolis were originally used as military fortresses to defend the imperial capital. However, the mainland has been at peace for hundreds of years, and there has been no war , the role of the military fortress gradually weakened.

The Imperial City Guard Corps, which is now in charge of guarding the imperial capital, is the army with the smallest number of troops in the five main battlegrounds of the empire. Other main battle legions, such as the Stormtrooper Legion, which guards the edge of the frozen forest in the north, have an establishment of 200,000 people. The King City Guards Legion only has a staff of 100,000 people. But it is recognized as the most elite legion on the mainland. It is also the oldest and most glorious army on the mainland.

Its predecessor was the "Thornflower Legion" under the command of Aragon during the founding war of the Roland Empire, galloping across the continent north and south, and made great achievements in battle. It was only a few hundred years ago, after the Augustinian Dynasty. Because the real Aragon The bloodline has been severed, and the later emperor was not born with the orthodox bloodline, so in order to dilute and conceal this, the Thorn Flower Army was renamed "Royal City Guards".

But now, the military force of the imperial capital, the imperial city guards, has 10,000 people stationed in each of the four acropolises around the imperial capital, and 60,000 people in the imperial capital. They are in charge of the city defense of the imperial capital on weekdays. There are also some specially selected The elite who came out were responsible for guarding the palace.

In addition to the 100,000 troops of the Wangcheng Guards, there are 10,000 garrison troops in the security office of the Imperial Capital, and at the port facing the Lancang Grand Canal to the north, there is also a small naval fleet with the Imperial Capital as its home port.

After hundreds of years of peaceful times, even the four acropolises around the imperial capital have gradually developed into large-scale cities. In addition to stationing troops on weekdays, they have become important trading cities. Residents are also stationed, and the population is large. More than one hundred thousand.

In addition to the four acropolises, the regional military power of the imperial capital, and the main city of the imperial capital, the total population of this largest and largest metropolis has exceeded two million. And the floating population that travels throughout the year is even more difficult to get through. count.

Du Wei and his party arrived at the acropolis southeast of the imperial capital the night before, and the Fang garrison guarding the area along the way could no longer move forward. According to the imperial decree, the Fang army is not allowed to enter the area near the imperial capital without authorization. In the acropolis, The garrison left. The task of protecting Du Wei and his party was handed over to the imperial guards.

After resting overnight in the Acropolis, early the next morning, Du Wei and others came outside the southeast wall of the imperial capital under the protection of a group of Royal Guards.

Under the rising sun, the golden sunlight shines on the majestic city wall of the imperial capital. Each piece of the city wall of the imperial capital is made of huge stones that are almost as tall as a person. The defensive power has reached a level that is almost terrifying.

On the city wall, there is a high watchtower every 200 meters, which is much higher than the nearby city wall. In times of war, these watchtowers can become powerful long-distance defense towers. The arrow tower is equipped with the military's giant ballista. On the main tower, it is also equipped with the "magic gun" whose construction technology has been lost.

Although the construction blueprints and craftsmanship of this terrifying weapon have been lost, it is also carefully maintained by military magicians on weekdays. Once the war resumes, these historical relics can also explode with terrifying power.

At the same time, the imperial capital is also a magical city on the mainland.

The tallest building in the imperial capital is in the central inner city of the imperial capital, that is, in the imperial palace. According to the construction of the city defense, a 100-meter-high tower was erected in the center of the imperial capital!

The body of the tower is all white. It is built with the highest quality white jade, and it has been blessed by countless magicians in the mainland for hundreds of years. It is extremely strong!

On the top of the White Pagoda, there is the largest magic crystal in the entire continent, which is said to be nearly three meters in size and weighs a ton! And this crystal is inlaid on a horseshoe-shaped curved frame at the top of the tower. The frame is made of a certain kind of black stone that is harder than metal, and when it was built, it was spared a lot of money. It is mixed with a large amount of extremely expensive mithril! To increase the power of magic!

With this white tower as the center, a huge magic circle is hidden under the entire palace. At the earliest time, when the empire was founded, His Majesty Aragorn led a group of top and most powerful magic circles on the mainland. The place where the magician was established, and later experienced the perfection and supplementation of countless powerful magicians of the descendants, which made the magic circle more and more powerful.

Once there is a time of war, it is said that there is still a team of magicians in the palace that is not led by the magic union. It was established in the Aragon era and has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Although the number is small, they only serve the royal court magician team. The team of magicians supports the magic circle. After activating the huge magic crystal on the top of the white tower, the magic circle is centered on the white tower, and the arrow towers on the walls of the imperial capital on all sides are supported by magic crystals, covering the entire Imperial capital! It is said that the defensive power is so strong that Aragorn once boasted that when he was alive, even the most powerful race in the mainland - the Dragon Clan, could not break through this powerful magic circle!

And relying on the activation of the magic field, the magic cannons on the main towers on all sides can get enough magic power to become powerful firepower points on the towers!

The white tower in the palace is guarded by the most elite forces, and no one is allowed to approach it on weekdays, let alone go up! Only His Majesty the Emperor himself can freely enter and exit the White Pagoda!

Guarded by hundreds of thousands of elite troops. With the powerful magic circle left by Aragorn back then, the imperial capital has been known as a city that will never fall on the mainland.

Back then, Aragorn spent so much effort to set up the magic circle here - in fact, later generations felt that it was a waste to spend so much financial and material resources in doing so.

Because the mainland had been unified at that time, the empire had been established, and there were no threats or powerful opponents on the entire continent. However, Aragorn seemed to be desperately trying to turn the imperial capital into such an iron barrel array, and no one knew about it. is why.

For thousands of years, many historians didn't know why. The history books only dealt with this matter. They didn't dare to ask any questions, but spent a lot of effort to exaggerate the infinite power of this magic formation.

The strange thing is that this seemingly useless magic circle, after the death of Aragorn, the emperors of all dynasties, although the blood of Aragorn gradually cut off and the dynasties changed, each generation of emperors. Hunjun... But these emperors all have one thing in common, they spend a lot of effort to repair and strengthen this magic circle during their tenure!

The magic circle was not abandoned because of the end of the Aragon dynasty. If Aragon was out of his mind and spent a lot of money and material resources to make such a luxurious decoration...then why are there so many emperors who have lived for nearly a thousand years? Are you out of your mind?

There is also a legend here. It is said that the founding emperor Aragorn left a secret suicide note in the palace, and all future generations of emperors must spare no effort to preserve this magic circle!

No matter how the dynasties change later, this has almost become a royal law! For thousands of years, the codes left by the Aragorn era have changed for many generations. But only this iron rule has been strictly followed by the emperors of all dynasties.

Outsiders don't know why. Only the legacy of Aragorn kept in the palace contains the truth! And it is also a great royal secret handed down by successive emperors!

In fact, these anecdotes and anecdotes are rarely circulated outside. However, Du Wei has read a lot since he was a child——during those days in the Earl’s Mansion in the imperial capital, because of being coldly received, he spent most of his time hiding in his room to read. Collect There are quite a lot of precious ancient books. Du Wei only saw these secrets that have been lost in many places outside from those many books.

However, it is ironic that it seems that Aragorn is not really exhaustive. At least, this can be said to be a city that will never fall, with a city that is defended by powerful soldiers and this terrible big magic circle. Aragorn himself claims that Even a city that couldn't contribute even if all the powerful dragon clan came out, almost fell twice in history.

Moreover, those two times, before the magic circle was even activated, the enemy broke into the city!

The first time was due to internal turmoil in the royal family. After the death of the last generation of Aragorn's blood, many collateral royal families competed for the throne and caused turmoil. Some powerful nobles in the royal family led the army to fight back and forth around the imperial capital. The imperial capital changed hands several times.

The second time was the turmoil in the mainland when the Augustinian dynasty rose hundreds of years ago. The alien rebellion in the northwest led to the separatist rule of some big nobles in the northwest. During that turmoil, the Luolin family rose to prominence. Finally, the war subsided, and the entire Luolin Plain was sealed for their meritorious service.) During that turmoil, the empire almost collapsed, and even lost hope for a time, and there was no one even on the throne. If you are willing to sit down, you are afraid of being the king of subjugation. In the end, Grand Duke Augustine came to power and became emperor.

At that time, the outer city of the imperial capital had already been breached before the magic circle could be opened. The rebels entered the imperial capital and directly attacked the imperial city. Grand Duke Augustine, who hastily inherited the throne, led the army to fight bloody battles against the imperial city, and defeated the rebel coalition forces with weak forces. Then with the help of reinforcements from Kailai from the south, they regained control of the imperial capital. After that, they reunified the mainland with the help of the Luo Lin family.

Facing the rising sun, Du Wei stood outside the city of the imperial capital and looked into the imperial capital from a distance. The tall white pagoda towered in the center of the imperial capital. The magic crystal on it was said to be the largest on the mainland. Underneath, it shone brightly, faintly revealing a sacred and majestic aura...

Du Wei sighed, recalling the allusions and historical anecdotes he knew about the imperial capital, looking at the majestic city wall and the mighty soldiers with bright armor and excellent equipment on the city wall, he looked up at the sky flying high above the city tower. Ground Thorn Flower Banner...

"What a majestic city." Du Wei smiled and said to himself: "But Aragorn never thought that such a city would still be captured! No matter how powerful your magic circle is, it is useless... the strongest fortress , are usually compromised from the inside. Such a simple truth... oh..."

Because of Gandalf's death, Du Wei really didn't have much affection for that Aragorn, so his words were very rude. However, these words were only whispered to himself, and he didn't dare to be heard by others.

After finishing speaking, Du Wei seemed to smile, glanced at the servant Ma De who was riding on the horse next to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Okay, what time is it now? Is the city gate open? Can we enter the city?" ?”

Before Ma De could answer, a leader of Wang Cheng's Guards, who was in charge of guarding Du Wei and others, had already rode his horse to the side of the carriage, and immediately replied: "Your Excellency, the gate of the city has been opened. Send people to open the way ahead. At this time, pedestrians waiting to enter the city at the gate, residents outside the city, and business groups traveling from south to north are all queuing up. There are too many people. Wait for my people to open the way and come back. I'll take you into town."

Du Wei is the young master of the Luo Lin family, and Earl Raymond, the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, is now the number two figure in the military command. Of course, this officer is extremely polite to Du Wei.

Du Wei smiled at him and nodded, then glanced at Made: "Did we send someone out from the Earl's Mansion to pick him up?"

While staying overnight at the Acropolis in the south of the imperial capital last night, some cavalry from the Luo Lin family had already gone to the Earl's Mansion of the imperial capital to announce the young master's return to the imperial capital.

Ma De's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Young master...it seems, no."

Du Wei smiled and laughed at himself, "My old man is so heartless."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Don't wait, go directly to the city." After finishing speaking, he retreated into the carriage and closed the window.

Imperial Capital, it doesn't matter if you are in Longtan or Tiger's Den, in short, I'm back, my lord! !

No matter who wants my life, I will take his life first!

Du Wei sat in the carriage with a sneer on his face..
