Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 539

Lelang City, the capital of the northern border of the empire.

Lelang City, the largest city in the northern part of the empire, the administrative and military center in the northern part of the empire, and the northern city against the strangers in the north, it is better to say that it is a city than a majestic fortress.

This is a big city in peacetime, but in wartime it is an authentic military fortress.

A military city built completely in accordance with the standards of the imperial higher city. The city wall is a first-class fortress built in accordance with the imperial royal city system. It should be twelve meters high, but Yuzan can see that the city wall is at least fifteen meters or more.

The city wall is built with the strongest boulders in the north. The tall and majestic circular city wall is extremely defensive. From a distance, there are some small slings and cannons on the wall. As for the bows, arrows and ballistas, Not to mention.

Outside the walls of Lelang City, there are several large military camps around, where the army usually exercises, there are also cavalry training grounds, large-scale horse farms for feeding horses, and forage yards. In the city, it looks like a purely militarized city.

The empire has been operating here for many years, and most of the residents in the city are the families of the soldiers of the Northern Legion. Although this situation will cause certain hidden dangers, the empire is relatively cautious in this regard, not only sending one every two years. The imperial envoys came to inspect, and the corps commanders and deputy commanders of the Northern Army also changed every five years. There will never be a situation where the term of office exceeds five years.

And in this militarized city, you can see the people coming and going, most of them are soldiers from the Northern Army. They go out in shifts. Although they are dressed in casual clothes, they look like they are walking and full of killings in the army. Gas.

Even the family members of the soldiers in the city are dressed plainly and rushed to and fro. The city is in order. There are cavalry patrols from the Northern Army, horseshoes and horses, and the cavalry on horseback stands tall and has a pressing aura.

Perhaps this northern capital, called the Northern Barrier by the empire, is less prosperous and hustle and bustle than the city of Taycan that Yuzan passed through before, but the entire city gives Yuzan a sense of rigor that belongs to the military.

Just before the carriages and horses arrived at the gate of Lelang City, Yuzan discovered that there was already a brigade of soldiers from the Northern Legion lined up outside the gate to greet them. Under the gate, the idlers and others had been dispersed. Thousands of soldiers from the Northern Legion lined up. Around, and under the city gate, there were hundreds of guys wearing bright armor who looked like the Guards, and a dozen people were waiting.

As soon as Yuzan’s carriage approached, he heard that a guard of honor on the city wall had already sounded its horn, and the imperial flag was flying above the city.

There is a ceremonial horn in this empire. Yuzan, who has lived in the palace since he was a child, of course can’t hear it. He hastened to let people stop the cart and get out of the cart to see, but he saw those who greeted him under the city gate. Most of the local people are dressed up as military generals, of course, there are also a few people in civilian costumes.

From a distance, I heard a loud and respectful voice saying:

“Congratulations on the arrival of the Fifth Highness, Robert, the commander of the Second Division of the Northern Army of the Imperium, is here to welcome the Fifth Highness on behalf of General Stockton, the commander of our Northern Army!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Yuzan looked into his eyes and saw a plain-looking middle-aged man with a goatee standing in front of the group of people and respectfully saluting himself.

“Ah, it turned out to be the commander of the Robert Division of the Northern Army. I really trouble you. Please lead the way!”

In fact, Yuzan originally had the thought of getting out of the carriage before entering the city. This is not because Yuzan was afraid of the opponent, but just because he felt the hard work of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Army in guarding the frontier, and Yuzan also knew clearly in his heart. What is he here for? Yuzan needs to gain control of the entire Northern Army, and giving respect to these soldiers here is the first step!

…

“Woo!”

“Boom…”

There was a loud noise, and a huge amount of blood was surging from a deep wound on the neck of a huge blue-skinned “dragon-shaped” monster.

“Huh…huh…finally resolved, Esdes, are you okay?”

Seeing the “heads” of these “dragon-shaped” dangerous species that have fallen to the ground with more air intake and less air, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the little girl next to him with concern and asked. .

Gerald was also a little helpless, although this time it was because there were many young people in the team who participated in the hunt for the first time like his daughters, although their hunting targets were only dangerous species of level 3, and the number was not too much. However, most of the young people in this team are mostly inferior to their own daughters. During the previous battle, even their seven-year-old daughter killed two, and the other young people in the team even had some At the beginning of the killing, he was already trembling with fright. Although there were no casualties after the battle was completed, Gerald was dissatisfied with other performances.

“Ah, it’s okay, Dad, I feel great!”

However, what surprised Gerald is that his baby girl, who has been considered extremely gifted since he was a child, is not at all like that of a teenage boy who is much older than her when he came out together this time. Seeing this kind of bloody vomiting or the trembling after such a fierce fight, he looked completely okay, and even his expression was slightly excited.

Seeing the slightly excited look of Little Esdes, Gerald was also greatly relieved. After all, including himself, he appeared scared after he went out hunting with his father for the first time at the age of twelve, but These things are completely absent from Esther’s body, as if she was a natural warrior, a treasure bestowed on them by the Baruts clan…

“Esdes is amazing, at such a young age…”

“Yeah, yeah, little Esdes killed two of them just now!”

“Really a born fighter…”

“…”

Esther’s answer also made a few smiles on the unsightly faces of the other old people who were leading the team.

…

Lelang City, the tallest building in the city, is a majestic and majestic building. It does not seem to be extravagant on the outside. Some are just rigorous and iron-blooded buildings. This is the northern military command post of the empire, the command headquarters of the northern army of the empire.

At this time, at the highest level of the command, the number one man in the Northern Army, Stockton, the commander of the Northern Army, was dealing with his official documents.
