Dragon has a long history, stretching for thousands of years.
This country named after the dragon has a long history like the dragon. It is said that as early as the era when the world was in chaos and the lights of civilization were not yet in full bloom, Dragon had stood proudly as a powerful city-state in this world. The world divided into two has become the original shelter and guiding lighthouse of civilization.
There are always exaggerations in legends, but the people of the empire have always been proud of their long history, and firmly believe that at least 90% of those legends are true. In the magnificent imperial capital built with black frost spar, countless scrolls and antiquities from ancient times are filled with schools and academies, and the empire is full of relics that span the long river of history. These things that have gone through vicissitudes It is silently telling the ancient background of this country, and it seems to support the statement that "the empire originated in the age of chaos".
Therefore, when the proud imperial people mentioned the "Ancient Yisu Country" on the other side of the world, they would always involuntarily have a sense of superiority, and even felt that the word "ancient" was a bit of an eyesore. In front of the ancient empire, which country can be called an "ancient" word
Dragon establishes a country with force.
This ancient empire has stood firmly on the apex of the planet Silahrien for thousands of years. It has a vast territory, ruling half of the vast land and ocean on the planet. Such a vast territory is not a gift from God , It was fought down with iron and blood by generations of imperial people.
On the half of the planet occupied by the empire, there have been countless brave barbarians and tenacious countries. The empire was once just a member of these countries, but under the leadership of the legendary immortal emperor Under the action, Dragon's Knights of the Black Sword defeated all the enemies standing in front of them—including the copper-skinned and iron-skinned, Frostridge tribe ten times stronger than humans, and the kingdom of magic with elemental blood. Wherever the two-sword battle flag of the Knights of the Black Sword goes, every inch of land and sea will become the territory of the empire. This is almost regarded as an iron law in Silahrien.
The loyal, powerful, and united Black Sword Knights, accompanied by these illustrious military exploits, have become a model for all knights and fighters in the entire Laherien world—not only in the Western Hemisphere, but also the White City Federation in the Eastern Hemisphere. Black Sword Knights With a special respect.
Although every member of the White City Federation is very clear, the reason why the powerful and ancient empire on the other side of the world rift has established a long-term peaceful relationship with the Federation is only because the terrifying abyss that tore the planet stopped the Black Sword Knights. , once that natural barrier was lost, sooner or later the warlike Imperials would turn their blades on this half of the planet, but they still held the black lion on the other side of the world in awe.
But how long can this black lion stand upright in the world
…
A village in the Empire, like most of the villages in this vast country, is unknown, neither because of some well-known specialties. The chapter of a certain famous hero who became a bard has been lying quietly and non-existently on the plain on the southwestern border of the empire for hundreds of years, and it will soon be regarded as a turning point. recorded in history.
The night of fighting was over. After shedding enough blood, the two warring parties left this battlefield that was not worth holding on to. The unextinguished flames were still breathing on the ruins of the buildings, and puffs of smoke came from those Rising from the jagged carbonized beams and trees, they floated high into the sky, and occasionally fragmented and abandoned weapons and equipment could be seen on the blood-stained land.
A pitch-black wide-edged sword with strange and complex mechanisms lay quietly in the mud, the blood on the blade had turned black and red, and a severely scorched military flag fell to the ground. The blue background depicts crossed black double swords.
But one of the swords has a broken pattern...
…
In a medium-sized town in the southern part of the empire, a caravan full of dust is walking through the most proud bluestone road in the town.
This is a small caravan that is very common in the empire: As a large country with a vast territory and a high degree of development, busy commercial activities and a large amount of material circulation are the basic conditions to ensure the normal operation of the country. Caravans, large and small, circulated between the cities day and night, and there were even merchants from the surrounding barbarians and merchant groups from the other side of the world rift, and the imperial people had long been accustomed to this.
Three rune caravans driven by magic guides were driving on the road, while several armed guards were sitting on the railings on the edge of the caravan lazily looking at the scene on the street. The last caravan was obviously modified , the enlarged and sealed compartment shows that it is the caravan owner's car.
Charlemagne looked casually at the scene on the street outside for a while, then retracted his gaze and closed the sunshade on the window of the carriage again.
He used alchemy potions to dye his gray hair into pale gold, and his face was also disguised cleverly. In this world where fingerprint identification and DNA tracking technology have not been invented, such a The camouflage is enough to have the effect of deceiving the world.
While the looks of a reclusive royal sibling are remote information to commoners, to those who planned the pirate attack, all the information about the siblings must have been in their hands long ago. It is also a last resort choice.
"This is a very prosperous place." Hao Ren was also looking at the scene outside before. The prosperity of this town left a deep impression on him. All kinds of transportation and public facilities are eye-opening. Although the technical routes are different, this planet that lights up the aircraft technology with magical power seems to have allowed the common people to live a life close to the standard of the earth's contemporary medium-sized countries.
"Although we love our hometown very much, we have to admit that the Dragon Empire has gone farther than any country in the Eastern Hemisphere in terms of magic technology, including the ancient country of Yisu, which is not its opponent in this regard," Ai Wen Na said in a soft voice, with a soft tone, "Ys has profound magical attainments, but our classic magic system is not completely compatible with the magic techniques that are widely used today. In Ys, many traditional mages They all scoffed at the increasingly prosperous magic technology. They thought that this kind of cheap and lacking foundation was a symbol of nouveau riche, but few people thought about what the rapid development of magic technology in the Dragon Empire meant. .”
"This ancient empire is not only still strong, but is becoming even stronger," Charlemagne sighed softly. "The oldest country always has the youngest mentality. How did this country do it?"
Vivian raised her eyebrows: "Because they have an immortal and wise Dragon Soul Emperor?"
Lily next to him took over the conversation: "But guys with this kind of setting are generally super difficult and stubborn - after all, they have lived for so many years."
The eyebrows of Vivienne and Leah twitched slightly at the same time.
Charlemagne and Ai Wenna laughed, and did not take this topic seriously, but Ai Wenna reminded later: "Don't be so unabashed in front of the imperial people, they will not allow someone to tease their emperor like this His Majesty."
As Hao Ren listened, he looked at this "magic vehicle" that was empty on the outside, but actually powered by secondary psionic energy in its core, and at the same time recalled what happened before.
After reaching a consensus with the Charlemagne brothers and sisters, the group quickly finalized a plan to change their appearance and operate within the empire. In order to divert the attention of enemies who might be hiding in the empire, and to ensure the confidentiality of the operation, Hao Ren first sent the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace to the border city closest to the world rift in the Dragon Empire, and sent most of the ships on board. The "hitchhikers" were thrown directly on the avenue in the outskirts of the city, and then the spaceship lifted off and left while these people were still in a circle, and ran for thousands of kilometers before landing near this town in the southern part of the empire.
Afterwards, the Charlemagne brothers and sisters, Hao Ren and his party, together with a few personal guards carefully selected by Charlemagne who could be trusted 100%, used the "disguise props" produced in the giant turtle rock platform factory to pretend to be a man in the empire. Small caravans everywhere.
The "camouflage props" produced by the factory include everyone's new clothes, cheap swords in the hands of the pro-guards (the original sophisticated equipment was too eye-catching and were left on the spaceship), several vehicles produced according to Awenna's description " "Magic Caravan", and two full trucks of various goods.
It can be said that the tricks are complete.
Those "hitchhikers" who were thrown in the border cities will seek help from the Ysu embassy under the organization of Captain Borken. Although it will take some time, they can all return to their hometowns safely. News of the attack and the safe return of the survivors will also be spread along with it - enough confusion and confusion among the conspirators that they would hardly have imagined that in the chaos of refugees flooding the embassy At the same time, Charlemagne, Ai Wenna and several personal guards had already embarked on a journey at another part of the border.
To Hao Ren's surprise, it was unexpectedly easy for such a caravan to move within the territory of this huge empire. He had thought that this empire would have strict laws and regulations, and strict identity checks and security checks were required to enter and exit any city checkpoint. But in fact, apart from some routine interrogation and inspection, they did not encounter similar troubles-the forged passes and identity information were almost useless.
"Only in the imperial capital and a few big cities will it be like you said. The management of the Dragon Empire in other places is actually relatively loose," Ai Wenna introduced the situation of this country to Hao Ren. She has basically They believed in the saying "the World Tree Temple isolated from the world", and Hao Ren and his party's ignorance of the details of the world situation naturally became a matter of course. "Rules and order depend on the majesty of the emperor himself and the Black Sword Knights." Maintenance, but the law is second. In this country, the emperor and the knights are two sharp swords hanging high in the hearts of all people. The sharp swords can protect themselves from foreign enemies, and they can also clear the crimes in the empire. In this case Now, very few people will do things that violate the imperial decree."
Lily curled her lips: "But we pretended to be a caravan and swaggered in this country. Doesn't this prove that this management method is very loopholed?"
"The reason for swaggering is that everything we do is fully in line with what a caravan should do," Awenna said with a calm smile, "whether it is the composition of vehicles and personnel, or the content of the goods, as well as the route of action , all legal and verifiable—except for our identities."
A wonderful country - Hao Ren couldn't help but think of it this way.
