439 Northern Pass
If at the beginning, Beta just wanted to use the Vorgin Cult to increase his strength, now Beta has the idea of wholeheartedly running the Cult and allowing it to thrive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Copper Drum City is rich now...... The Vorgin Cult has opened up all the roads in the city, and the transportation is convenient, so there are naturally many caravans. With more caravans, more taxes.
Alice spent a lot of money to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and invited all the envoys, including the cavalry regiment of nearly two hundred men, to eat to their heart's content.
During this time, Katie also came to join in the fun, in fact, she and Alice didn't know each other very well, and she just wanted to meet Beta.
During the feast, Faxiu met Shirley...... Then he began to wonder if he had a tendency to be flowery, he had just fallen in love with a girl, and now when he saw another woman, he liked it again.
Doubting his life, he casually ate something at the banquet and hid in his guest room to meditate.
The next day, after breakfast, Alice personally led the delegation to the northern pass.
The Northern Pass is located in the middle of two mountain ranges, the Falling Moon Mountains on the left and the Silver Pine Mountains on the right. These two mountain ranges stretch for thousands of miles, with towering peaks and strange peaks, and there are many magical beasts in the mountains, separating the two old enemies of Holaiwen and Ubudari.
The Northern Pass is the only import and export between the two countries.
The Northern Pass is essentially a huge black city wall, a super city wall with a length of more than 1,300 meters, a height of about 70 meters, and a width of 30 meters. It is blocked in the middle of the two mountain ranges on the left and right, and connects the two mountain ranges.
There were battle flags fluttering on the walls, and figures were shaking. Even in peacetime, hundreds of men were stationed on the walls to patrol, and in the event of war, there were at least a thousand archers on the walls.
Most of the people were stunned by the majestic city walls, and people like Faxiu, who had never traveled far before, looked at Guan Pass as if they were looking at a terrible beast, licking their lips and swallowing saliva from time to time. He may still be thinking about how to defeat this pass if he is an enemy, but after thinking about it, he only got a desperate answer.
Beta was not surprised, he had seen more giant buildings, and the Northern Pass was not ranked at all in his eyes.
Slightly to the left of the lower part of the wall, there is a gate that leads to and from the northern pass. The gate is about seven meters high and four meters wide, and it is impossible to say that it is not big or small, and that it can allow a slightly larger carriage to pass, but it is impossible to say that more people can pass through it at the same time.
And in this thirty-meter-long passage, there are seven heavy iron gates falling. It's hard for the enemy to get in.
In addition, at the entrance, there are two military camps on the left and right, and in front of each military camp there are about ten arrow towers, and if an enemy army does come out of the corridor, they will face the last line of defense...... Rain of arrows strikes.
From each of the two barracks came a group of men, the spearmen on the right and the archers on the right.
Beta took out the appointment paper given by the eldest prince, and Alice took it, and rode forward a few steps, and an officer-like man on the archer's side took it, slowly confirming the royal seal.
Beta's eyes were good, he looked at the city wall, and then asked, "You actually got two teams of tree people and ordinary soldiers to patrol together?" ”
Alice smiled and said, "There are many ancient trees in both mountain ranges, and the tree people summoned are very powerful and smart, why not use them?" ”
Beta grinned, "Actually, those two teams of treants are what you use to deter those who are not convinced." ”
Alice raised her eyebrows triumphantly, which was a tacit acquiescence.
The army is realistic, they only serve those who are stronger than themselves. Otherwise, no matter how high your official position is, the orders you give will have a five-point effect at the grassroots level.
And Alice is a master-level summoner, and as soon as she arrives, she brings two teams of treants and a unicorn, and must have quickly impressed these rebellious soldiers.
Generally speaking, female officers are despised in the army, and it is thankful that the orders they give fall down to the grassroots level, and they can have a three-percent effect. After all, women are a symbol of weakness in the eyes of most men.
But there are exceptions to everything, and if the female officer is powerful, beautiful, noble and intelligent, and her strength beats most of the officers, then the female officer can easily convince all the soldiers under her control.
This kind of admiration will make most of the soldiers have a fanatical mood. The effect is much more powerful than that of a male officer of the same strength.
For a specific example, see 'Joan of Arc'.
Beta saw the soldiers who came out of the barracks, and when she saw Alice, they were all holding their breath and calming, not only with respect in their eyes, but almost everyone with admiration, and their eyes were bright and terrifying.
This morale ...... It's time to catch up with the Knights of the Round Table that Beta established in the game.
The problem is that there are only a few Knights of the Round Table, and there are at least two or three thousand subordinates like Alice.
After the officer confirmed the paperwork, he gestured to the people around him, and then a small soldier raised the red and white flag, shook it non-stop, and sent the flag to the city wall.
After a while, the iron doors closed in the aisle slowly opened upwards one by one.
"Have a nice trip." Alice said earnestly to Beta.
Beta nodded, taking the initiative to go to the front. Then the diplomatic ceremonial regiment followed, and the cavalry divided into two columns and slowly followed behind the convoy.
Thirty meters of aisle, on the right and right sides, as well as on the top of the head, every two meters, there will be a small piece of dense, fist-sized black hole.
These are gun holes, or arrow holes, and once an enemy enters the hallway, the soldiers hiding behind the black hole will stick their spears out of the small hole and attack the enemy who is slowly moving through the hallway.
The narrow and dim aisles, as well as the small black holes that can be used at a glance, make the atmosphere of the entire aisle extremely depressing.
Many people try to force themselves not to look at the left and right walls, and just stare at the figure in front of them.
Beta was the first to pass through the aisle, and then there was a flat snow field in front of him, and the sunlight shining on the snow surface reflected it very harshly.
On the left and right are majestic snow-capped mountains, in fact, they are still within the range of the two mountain ranges, but the road they have to take is at least smooth.
When the last cavalry passed through the pass, the iron gate behind them fell with a bang, completely isolating them from the wilderness.
Beta turned his head and looked at the somewhat dazed crowd, and he shouted, "From now on, we have no protection, and in this borderland, before we reach the border of Udaburi, it is our most dangerous time." No one will come to our aid but ourselves. I ask that each and every one of you obey my orders, and I do not mind resorting to military law if anyone disobeys. ”
The aristocracy's momentum and talent were full, and the invisible pressure radiated to the surroundings, everyone looked at Beta, no one dared to speak, and naturally no one dared to have the slightest objection.
"Very well, let's go."
