Tak Kyoto

In the afternoon, the streets were a little deserted, straight with only a few makeshift patrols wandering lazily, leaving a series of sparse figures on the ground, giggling and undisciplined, more like a group of homeless people wandering the streets than an army

The sunlight shines unobstructed on the white and rough stone slabs of the city, reflecting the scorching light on the ground, and there is a small city tower built on the side of the street in the city at the corner of the street, which still retains obvious traces of hurry, and some of the stone edges have not even had time to cut and level, so they are piled up, making the whole arrow tower look extraordinarily rough, as if the building blocks built by children at will, which cannot give people enough sense of security.

The Maraud Tomahawk flag fluttering in the center of the square, in the vast drizzle, also drooped listlessly, tightly wrapped around the flagpole, as if no one cared about this anymore, there was no wind, and the white light reflected by the raindrops on it made people walking on the road feel a little unable to open their eyes

"Quick, the first team goes to the east wall, and the second team goes to the west wall......"

There was a sound of footsteps in the street, and a group of soldiers who had temporarily rushed to the city wall walked over heavily, making the already deserted and empty street full of a dignified and depressing feeling of suffocation.

On this street, there is the oldest tavern in Goude, a huge makeshift tavern made of wood, and the owner of the tavern is said to be an Amman from the eastern steppes, a small Dongting tribe.

Often invaded and harassed by the Pontic cavalry, the only remaining tribe is said to have less than 10,000 people, and the only strength of this race is its ability to make wine, and the most beautiful and fierce grassland red on the continent is where the Amman people brew

They also received special attention from the Kujiit people, who held the status of Amman's winemakers very high in the Kujit tribe, because the spirits they brewed could save many people in the harsh steppe winters, and when grazing and fighting, if they could drink a sip of Amman's spirits, the courage of the Kugit warriors would be doubled

This Amman tavern built in Kyoto has a history of more than 500 years. Its construction has also been intermittent for more than a hundred years, although from the outside it looks like a makeshift tavern made of wood

However, there are four huge wooden barrels for the sake of the tavern for the time being, which makes this tavern very distinctive, especially for the people of Ottoku, who also like spirits, and almost everyone who has been to Kyoto will be deeply attracted by this characteristic building.

"Squeak!"

The tavern's rudimentary even blackened wooden doors were pushed open from the outside. With the light on his back, a tall, thin middle-aged man bowed his head and walked into the tavern.

He wore a loose robe, which did not look much different from the average Goude merchant, but the crutches he held in his hand revealed his identity, and only the Roude soldiers were qualified to use this kind of crutch made of fine iron, which was a sign that the man was a Roude officer

At this time, the Roude officers were already unpopular figures, and many failures made the once glorious Goude soldiers also receive deep distrust from the Roude people, not to mention the rout and looting that occurred in the city some time ago, and many Kyoto citizens regarded these Goude soldiers as a disaster.

Therefore, when he came in, the mainland guests of the tavern did not pay much attention to him, only a few people who drank looked up and found that they were also regular customers here, so they didn't care.

This is about fifty years old, with a high nose and deep eye sockets, his eyes are a little red, and his waist is a little hunched when he walks.

He is Andrei Guan, the personal guard officer of King Yagrolk, because of Yagrolk's death, he is naturally not happy as a personal guard attendant

"Why is Your Majesty dead, but you are still alive!"

The questioning and embarrassing questioning from the censorship made the guard, who was just over fifty years old, look as old as sixty, with gray hair, and his once erect posture had become rickety, because he had been shot in the retreat, and although he had recovered from the injury, he had also left his left foot permanently disabled

Every afternoon, Officer Andre would show up here on time

He was going to anesthetize himself with the strongest liquor, and he felt that if he didn't, he would surely collapse because he couldn't stand too much reproach, and he wished he should have been like a warrior at that time. Follow your lord and go with His Majesty Agrolc, so that even if you lose your life, it will be worth it, and you don't have to linger like now!

There are not many people in the tavern today, only three or three people, but all the tables are full of people, maybe the situation is not good, or maybe the future of Kyoto is full of desperate predictions, and the people who come to drink are pouring into their mouths, hoping to anesthetize themselves with the famous liquor here, so that they don't have to face the cruel and difficult to choose facts outside.

These people are not all commoners, but there are also many people dressed in aristocratic clothes, Sven Wen, and the language is also polite, the clean clothes and fabrics are very good, and some even wear two gold and diamond rings, but their faces are all expressions, and they are always looking out of the window blankly

Andregu put on a posture of waiting for the wine. The body was slightly tilted to the right, which was his habit when he drank these days, so it did not arouse the doubts of several talking nobles, and the window of the tavern was facing the corner of the square in the center of the city, and the statue of His Majesty Yagrolc in the center of the square could be faintly seen through the rain curtain

It was the statue of Yagrolk when he was young.Yagrolk when he was young was indeed high-spirited, full of fatal attraction.As the most famous prince of the kingdom of Goude, handsome and chic, domineering, and was the prince charming in the minds of countless young girls

There are many who believe that Yagrolc is not a suitable successor to be king. Because he was too affectionate and had a rotten life, he already had more than a plurality of women at the age of fifteen, not at all like a king who could lead the rise of virtue, and the nobles of Kyoto at that time were all optimistic about Yagrolk's cousin Argfeton, a handsome and erudite prince. More like a king

In the end, it was a woman who caused the change, and no one knew why, Yagrolk, who had always been absurd, suddenly reined in a bad temper and habits, and even expressed it in front of all the important ministers.

For the rise of the kingdom of Roude, for the unification of the hegemony of the Ikadwivar continent, in order to display his ambitions, he still resolutely gave up a comfortable and comfortable life.

He moved himself from the opulent Fortune Palace to the remote and ruined Antore Palace, stipulating that he should not spend more than ten gold coins a day, and that all the wealth saved could be used to expand the army

He chose to leave the luxurious and comfortable environment of the past, and unabashedly told everyone that if he could ascend to the throne, he would definitely be a promising king

In fact, it is true that in every aspect of the history of Gourd, Yagrol's diligence is obvious to all, and if it were not for the strength of the Falcon Dynasty, he might have been able to defeat his old enemy, the Ryordians.

The statue was erected on Yagrolk's fortieth birthday, and to show his majesty, to the left of his statue are seven hundred and forty-nine horsemen riding tall horses, wearing tight black armor and white pikes,...,

Under the sunlight, their statues appear very majestic, revealing a compelling momentum in the silent stillness.

Rode is not a kingdom that is good at cavalry, but Rode has always had a unique cavalry complex, and many Rode warriors believe that if Rode can have as many horses as the Kugit or the Ryordians. The valiant and invincible warriors must have already conquered the entire continent of Ikadiva.

Just because there is nothing in reality does not mean that there is no in fantasy. The sculptors of Roude, who obviously knew what the regret of His Majesty the King was, had spent more than a year of painstaking efforts and with exquisite skill to sculpt the faces of the forty-nine generals of Roude into cavalry, so that they would always be by Yagrolk's side.

Some people say that these armored cavalry of Yagrolk Xià are the continuation of the original Ikadiwa black knight army, although it was the Odds who overthrew the rule of the Ikadiwa, but for the final decisive battle, the black knights of the Megatron continent are still full of reverence,

To the right of the statue of Yagrolc are seventy-seven forty-nine heavy infantry in gold, silver, white armor and dark black tomahawks. The momentum is not inferior to the cavalry on the other side

This is the "Royal Battle Axe" that the Roude people have always been proud of, and they are the sharpest offensive weapons of the Roude army! It is a symbol of the dynasty that does not fall, and it is also a symbol of the spirit of the Heroic Attack that the Roude people have always passed down from hand to mouth without fear of death and brave attack.

Some people say that if the Black Knight was the top class of cavalry on the continent in that era, then the Royal Axe Warrior was the top heavy infantry unit in this era. The one who defeated the five thousand black knights of Icadiva in the first place was the royal axe warrior, the pearl that stood at the top of the continental army, irreplaceable, and unshakable

These brave warriors, their light shrouded the entire land of Grace from the sky, and no one could resist their swirling heavy battle axes.

In fact, it is.

The royal battle axe is the most elite part of the royal team, and it is an unstoppable forward force.

Even the Falcon Cavalry, which is proud of the continent and is invincible, was beaten by the five thousand Roude Praetorian Guards composed of the main body of the Royal Axe warriors in the suburbs, and on the Ikadiva continent, except for the perverted armed soldiers like the Ryerdian Heavy Cavalry, no one is their opponent

Because of the rise of the Falcon Dynasty, the professionalization, elite and unification of equipment have greatly weakened the unique combat power of various powerful arms in the past, just like the statue in front of you.

They can only be the foil that condenses around this statue, whether it is the black knight or the royal axe warrior, they can only show their glory through these mighty statues.

The bartender soon brought the liquor, and the bitter smell of the wine immediately made the entire tavern guests look at this side curiously.

Andre Guan drank a large cup of Prairie Red in one gulp, and felt as if a fire was burning in his lower abdomen

If the fire had really burned to death, he would not have felt any regrets, but it was a pity that every time he drank the spring of Tenre, with the belief that he was going to die, he felt the sweetness of the ground in the fire.

In fact, as far as he knew, in this tavern, he was the only one who had to drink grassland red every time, and no one else, probably no one, had the guts. The matter of the drunken death of the prairie red is no longer one or two,...,

Some people on the side were quietly discussing the riots in Kyoto a few days ago, and it was forbidden for the citizens to talk about it, but now at this time, they are all burning their eyebrows. Who cares? What's more, those soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order don't have much energy to care about these things. In fact, even if they don't leave, they probably won't come to interfere at this time.

"It seems that even the noble nobles who have always been conceited are desperate!"

Andrei Guan heard a sigh coming from the side. Drunken and hazy, he glanced casually, and found that he still knew a few people at the table next to him, who were landlords and nobles in the Anjode area, some of whom had fled to Kyoto with their property and their families, and some of whom were trying to escape the looting of the homeless people

To put it simply, this is a group of Anruod people, the so-called phoenix in distress is not as good as chickens, probably the best portrayal of them.

Those landlords and aristocrats did not dare to continue to stay in their own homes, and they dragged their children and daughters to come to Goude Kyoto, but when they came, they found that it was better to stay in the original place, and now Goude Kyoto, the population is swelling. The lack of supplies, just like the historic but dilapidated old tavern in front of you, the people hiding here are a group of people who have no hope

As for the Falcon Dynasty's edict against the nobles of the occupied land, as the neighbors of the Vicchians, most of the Vedians have heard about it, especially their literate landlords and nobles, who are quite familiar with the provisions on the suppression of landlords and nobles, and at the same time quite fearful.

Their counterparts in Vekia have now been almost changed, and the few who remain have become merchants they used to look down upon, and according to the Falcon Dynasty's practice, the vast majority of the land of the nobility is allocated to the lowly yeoman farmers, which alone means that ninety percent of the nobility will become commoners.

In the case of private property of landlords and nobles, if it is proved to be legal, it can continue to be owned, if it cannot be proved that its origin is legitimate, such as saving zài to buy and sell. Extortion of land was confiscated by the Falcon Dynasty, and according to the understanding of the landlords and nobles of the great virtue, this was so-called legal. It all depends on the face of the Falcon Dynasty

If the Falcon Dynasty says it is legal, it is legal even if it is not legal, and conversely, if the Falcon Dynasty says it is not legal, it will be confiscated even if it is legal.

"Have you heard, those untouchables in the suburbs have started to riot......

The two nobles sighed in a low voice at the window, shaking their heads again and again with ugly faces. Some of the oppressed peasants also took advantage of the arrival of the Falcon Army to organize themselves to divide up the private land of the nobles outside the city, rob the property of the small landowners in the countryside, and even destroy the houses and estates of the nobles.

I don't know how many beautiful gardens have been destroyed by ignorant farmers, and many magnificent estates have been burned to the ground.

"Do you hear that?Prince Argfeton has secretly returned to Kyoto, and this time there are hundreds of royal warriors who have returned, or is there any ......hope for us," another nobleman whispered, deliberately keeping his voice low and pretending to be mysterious.

"Shhhhh

Andre Guan didn't need to turn his face to know who was speaking, that is, those few landlords and nobles who were very unwillingly mixed in Kyoto. Their land and money were basically on the road, and they were almost extorted by the miscellaneous armies of the kingdom stationed at all levels, and they were completely useless. They could only do things every day, that is, they kept drinking from morning to night, constantly using alcohol to stimulate themselves, until they died of alcohol poisoning, or they were killed by others....,

"What are you afraid of, tomorrow...... Tomorrow the negotiations will be over. The whole of Kyoto will be ours!" The other nobleman was obviously drunk, and his voice was trembling, but the excitement inside was undisguised,

A few of them were discussing something in a low voice, and the sneaky appearance was not a good thing at first glance, but these people thought they were well hidden. From time to time, he pointed out the window with his hand,

Speaking of excitement, Andreguan could hear them mention the name Aghelen from time to time!

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

The sensitive name of Agnhelen made Andreguan feel that his somewhat confused head suddenly cleared up, what did they want to do? What did these guys want to do to Her Royal Highness?

"Rebellion, rebellion, assassination?"

Andrei Guan beat a spirit, the captain of the guard for many years was not in vain, he could feel a sense of conspiracy from the chatting demeanor of these nobles, and he began to pretend to be drunk.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Gotta hold on!"

Andre Guan felt his body heavy, and staggered up from his seat and walked towards the door of the tavern, a road that was only a dozen meters long, and it seemed so difficult and heavy at the moment (to be continued).
