32. Riots

The royal capital of Lane is a city with a permanent population of 200,000, and the surrounding population flow generated by the operation of the city is more than 100,000, so the actual active population of the royal capital of Lane is usually around 300,000.

In the territory of those great kingdoms and empires, a city like the royal capital of Ryan can only be regarded as a big city, but on Ryan's side, it is already the most populous city in the entire territory. Even the second-largest city has only about 200,000 active populations – basically, once a city has an active population of 100,000, it is very difficult to move up.

Even if the Void City, which was designed and planned by Neil himself to meet the needs of 100,000 permanent residents, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people so far, and this is still the data of active population flow, and the actual resident population is only more than 40,000 people.

Therefore, the scale of the royal capital of Lane can be imagined.

At this time, a huge carriage with a unique shape, surrounded by thirty guards, slowly passed through the Changqing Suspension Bridge in the royal capital - this suspension bridge is a jumping bridge located outside the main gate of Leiburns, and this suspension bridge has never been raised since it was built, and now it is covered with green plants, so it is also called the Evergreen Suspension Bridge by the residents of the royal capital.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a detachment of about 30 guards standing guard at the Changqing Suspension Bridge.

However, this is a special period, so there are at least hundreds of soldiers in charge of standing guard now.

But even if more people have been deployed on the side of the main city gate, in fact, they can only barely maintain order. Most of the time, there will be some confusion. After all, the people who went to the royal capital at this time were either the major nobles who owned the territory, or the strong people from all walks of life who had a certain strength to try their luck here, and on the whole, the kings at this time were more mixed than before.

Luckily. These guards have so far not encountered any fools, so even if there is occasional confusion, they are basically able to maintain rational restraint. And for the vast majority of nobles, quarrels at the gates of the royal capital were really detrimental to their status; As for the powerhouses, they disdained to have any conflicts with ordinary soldiers, not to mention that the powerhouse of the Holy Domain sitting in the main city gate tower where the Evergreen Suspension Bridge was located was not in a daze.

The commander of the team in charge of the Evergreen Suspension Bridge today is a veteran who is already a little older.

He has spent ten years in the army since he joined the army, and he has participated in several wars of a certain scale. The most recent was the war with the Kingdom of Dabion a few years ago. Because he had a relatively outstanding performance in that war, he was promoted from the local army to the royal army after that war, and the army rank alone was enough to rise by a large level, not to mention that he is still a captain who can manage hundreds of soldiers.

Old Wood was very happy with this.

But if you have to say that there is something not satisfied. Probably because the national celebration is getting closer, the more pressure he is on the work he is in charge of now.

Because if he does a good job in this job, he will be praised or rewarded when he is happy, but if he does not do well and there is an accident, then being removed from his post is a trivial matter. If the matter becomes serious, it may even cost you your own life for it. At least he saw it with his own eyes. A colleague who had been drinking with him a few nights earlier was still in prison the next day after an accident while in charge of guarding the Evergreen Suspension Bridge.

When he visited this colleague yesterday, he found that he had only half a life left, and now he was being taken care of "very well" in prison.

This made Old Wood more cautious and cautious, and he took his work a lot more seriously.

The procession from the city gate through the Evergreen Suspension Bridge is slowly moving forward.

Old Wood looked at this situation, and a kind of relief was written on his face. He glanced up at the sky, and in about a few moments the changing team would come, and then he would have two days off - the closer it was to the end. The more dangerous it is for a veteran fritter like Old Wood, so this rare break naturally makes people feel extra excited and excited.

All he had to do was pray that there would be no accidents at the end of the day.

It's just that. Lady Luck doesn't seem to be on his side today.

Riots rang out from the suspension bridge and began to expand.

Old Wood was immediately startled, because in his eyes, the team that had been like a long black dragon was now shaking off countless dragon scales as if they were seriously injured. Dozens of guards next to him also showed frightened looks, because the results of the riot a few days ago are still vividly remembered, and before Old Wood, the captain, could give an order, more than a dozen people immediately stepped forward to stop the spread of this riot.

"What's going on!" A soldier shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers had clenched their Changge in their hands, ready to fight at any time - in fact, this so-called battle was nothing more than killing. In the face of ordinary people, they are naturally sure to win, even if they are facing mercenary groups or other teams, as long as the strength is not very strong or the number of people is not large, they can also rely on military formation tactics to suppress.

But if you meet those really strong opponents, then they are the ones who are slaughtered.

So this so-called battle is simply a way to bully the weak.

Pushing away the chaotic crowd, the dozen or so soldiers were stunned on the spot.

Because in front of them, there was an unusually large and sturdy black earth dragon that was restlessly venting something, and there was a woman next to it who was constantly comforting. However, what really shocked them was not the unusual earth-walking dragon and the young woman who was comforting it next to it, but the thirty-so cloaked guards who surrounded the carriage pulled by the earth-walking dragon.

From the locations around these people and the iron-blooded aura emanating from their bodies, these dozen or so soldiers knew that these people were all soldiers like them. And I'm afraid it's a far more elite force than them, just a glance from afar. These dozen or so soldiers already knew that if any conflict broke out between the two sides, the team they were responsible for maintaining order at the Evergreen Suspension Bridge would definitely not be the opponent of the other side.

And to be able to have such an elite army as an escort, the people in this carriage are obviously not simple.

Of course. As the soldiers looked at the specially made carriage, their suspicions were strengthened. Because from this carriage, they saw a lot of strong and strong military characteristics, and this kind of military characteristics are usually only high-end goods that can only be obtained in the more intense war zones.

The soldiers who were still intimidating the civilians who were about to enter the city did not even dare to come out in the face of such a group of people who were obviously of extraordinary origin.

Just then, Old Wood finally caught up with the others—he had re-established the order ahead. From this point of view, Old Wood's ability is indeed not bad. And in time to catch up, he has already begun to arrange some people to maintain the riot that is spreading to the rear. As for the small group of people in the middle who were in a commotion, they finally stopped commotion in the face of the soldiers who were gradually gathering around them.

A lot of times, for these civilians who don't have much strength or background. When they see the local army in the royal capital, they can still give them a strong sense of security.

Only this time. The civilians didn't notice the sweat that kept pouring from the forehead of the commander Old Wood.

Even the veterans under his command could see that the owner of this carriage was extraordinary, how could he, a veteran who had participated in many wars, not see it.

So he didn't dare to be too tough, at this time the closer to the national celebration, the identity of many people is becoming more and more noble, if he accidentally offends some big person, then his result can be imagined. So after a brief silence, Old Wood finally mustered up the courage to step forward, and he had to ask what was going on. The most important point, of course, is that he cannot let this riot continue.

But Old Wood had only just taken a step. He felt a cold chill that almost froze him completely.

What a strong murderous aura!

Old Wood, who has been in the army for ten years, felt a pang in his heart, and became more and more sure that these soldiers were not simple.

This carriage is naturally the one that Sean requisitioned.

Sean, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced at the soldier who was walking towards him, and from his body, Sean saw many traces of veterans in the army, and looking at the appearance of the soldiers around him, Sean also knew that this veteran was the leader of this group of people. It's just that he is not in a good mood at this time, and of course he will not give the other party any good looks.

As far as the people of the royal capital were concerned, they all considered themselves to be superior to the people in other places, so when they first saw that this dragon was a little different, although most of them felt a little frightened, it was only for the sake of that hypocritical face that they tried to keep their peace. But this calm doesn't mean that they are really not afraid, especially since the carriage looks rich or expensive, and there are so many imposing guards.

Originally, all this was actually not that big of a problem, after all, both sides maintained some kind of restraint with each other. But it wasn't until the appearance of a bear child that these things finally worsened - the wurm of the Earth Walking Dragon, because of its extreme energy, is so happy by nature, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to let them stay quiet, if it were not for the fact that Blackstone now has an owner, no one can stop this easily restless behemoth.

From the beginning, Sean didn't think about showing any privileges, so he naturally lined up with the crowd. Although the other citizens were a little scared, they didn't let this fear turn into restlessness, until a bold bear child appeared.

This bear kid actually threw a stone at the black stone!

Blackstone, who could only move slowly on the Evergreen Suspension Bridge because of the huge crowd, was very agitated, but after being thrown a stone by this kid, Blackstone was about to run away on the spot, and after a roar, he was about to bite someone. If it hadn't been for Rena's shout, the bear child and his family would not have survived, but even if there was no blood spattered on the spot, the family would have been a little frightened.

At this time, after the commander came, the family had already begun to add fuel and vinegar to the harshness and horror of Blackstone and his ferocity, and even tried to arouse public opinion pressure.

Looking at the clown-like actions of this group of jumping beams, Sean's brows furrowed more and more tightly. (To be continued......)
