Chapter 154: The Country of Ten Thousand Cities
Outside the majestic city gate, before the convoy of the envoys approached, a whole team of cavalry had already walked out of the city gate to welcome him.
A tall knight wearing black armor and riding a black horse walked in front of the cavalry team.
"Is it Princess Angelina of the Kingdom of Fostertan?" asked the Black Armored Knight. As far away from the Black Armored Knight, Locke felt a powerful force that was coming to his face, as if it were the essence.
This is not like the strength a knight attendant can show.
"I am!" Angelina's pleasant voice came out in the carriage, and then Angelina, wearing a silver wizard robe, appeared.
The Black Armored Knight let the team stay where they were and approached the envoys alone, without caring about the fully armed Foster soldiers around them.
"I will receive Princess Angelina here on the orders of Lord Garcia and go to Princeton, the imperial capital." The Black Armored Knight said meticulously.
"Magic Knight, what is your name?" Angelina asked with a smile.
"You can call me Knight Gallon." The Black Armored Knight replied.
"Then please trouble Knight Galone," Angelina said.
Many people have noticed a detail, that is, this knight named Galon, who calls Princess Angelina "You". If this knight does not have a very high title that can be compared with Princess Angelina, it can only be because his strength is enough to break free from the shackles of secular royal power.
Leading by the Knights of Gallon, the convoy followed closely behind him. Angelina sat back on her carriage.
Following Viscount Cage, Locke and others walked in front of the envoy, very close to Knight Gallon.
No random questions or talk nonsense. This envoy from Fostertan was very calm and decent. Everyone was meticulous from top to bottom, which made the Knight Gallon, who was observing in secret, nodded.
Compared with the envoys of other countries he had received, these Fostermen gave him a very good impression.
Walking into the tall and majestic city gate, Locke was fortunate to see the customs and customs of the Omor Empire.
This knight named Garon rarely speaks, while a knight similar to a sermon next to him is more talkative and introduces various situations in the city of Babrador to the people of the envoy.
This city, founded on the southeastern border of the Omor Empire and the Principality of Lyon, is called Pabrador.
Although the follower repeatedly explained that Pabrador was just the most barren city in the Omore Empire, Locke did not believe it at all.
From the majesty of the city walls and the prosperity of the city, Locke only saw Flor, the capital of Forstein, and the city of Audis in Charlotte, which was comparable.
This is at least a big city inhabited by 200,000 people. Although he had only traveled around less than one-third of the city in Labrador, Locke had already estimated it.
In Foster, except for Peters and Flor, which can accommodate more than 200,000 permanent populations, Locke has never heard of other cities.
Ignoring the follower's words, Locke observed his experiences around him.
The place where they rested was the Labrador Inn, located in a corner of the southwest of the city.
It is called an inn, but it is actually a large hotel, covering an area of 50 miles and divided into three-story buildings, giving the envoys a feeling of a palace than a post station.
The people of the Omor Empire who were accompanying seemed to be used to the surprise of the people who had just arrived in their country. After arranging the food and board for the people in the convoy, they ignored them.
The Knight Garon also took everyone to the place and left at some time.
"Find your room, rest for a day, and continue to set out tomorrow!" Viscount Cage's voice came out.
The slaves lived in a four-person room, the ordinary soldiers lived in a three-person room, and the team leader was a two-person room. Only the nobles and the captains such as Locke were assigned a single room.
Relying on his power, Locke arranged a single room for Grace and his sister Lea.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Locke asked to walk to Viscount Cage.
He thought the convoy would fix it in Babrador for a few days before setting off.
"The princess's academy is about to start. With the matters such as entering the palace, we need to arrive in Princeton a month in advance." Viscount Cage said helplessly.
"Isn't this more than two months?" It's only the end of December, and it's still a long time before the princess starts in February.
"I'm very doubtful whether I can arrive in Princeton in a month." Viscount Cage left this sentence and walked away, leaving Locke alone in surprise.
During dinner, he communicated with his adjutant Bend, and Locke learned why Viscount Cage said he would not be able to leave Princeton, the capital of the Omor Empire, for a month.
The Omor Empire is too big. How big is it? According to Bend, from the map, the Omor Empire's land area is a hundred times that of Foster.
It takes ten days to cross the Kingdom of Foster, and it takes three years or even longer to cross the entire territory of the Omore Empire.
The total number of Forstein is about two million, while the total number of people in the Omor Empire is about seven hundred million.
This is the first time Locke has heard that after tens of millions, there is still '100 million' as a unit.
The total population of 700 million is unimaginable for Locke. How big and vast is the Omor Empire. In his life, Locke feels that he will not correctly understand what a huge number of 700 million is.
No wonder the accompanying knight of the Omor Empire would say that Babrador was the most barren city in the Omor Empire, with a residence of only more than 200,000 people, which is indeed insignificant compared to the 700 million.
After a night of repair, Rock had not yet experienced the surprise that the city of Babrador brought to him, and the convoy set off again.
This time, in addition to the accompanying Fosterstein soldiers, there was also an escort team from the Omor Empire, led by the Knights of Garon himself.
The duty of this escort force is greater than that of protection.
The Fosterman mission, whose personnel have doubled, did not slow down due to its bloated size. On the contrary, with the escort of the Knights of Garon, the speed of the convoy increased by several levels, unimpeded along the way.
"Knight Gallon should be the deputy city lord of Babrador." In the carriage, Angelina chewed some unknown fruit that she had just purchased through the city.
"Deputy City Lord?" Locke puzzled. It has been half a month since he left Babrador, and there have been more than twenty cities they have traveled along the way.
Locke's shock at the beginning has become numb now.
No wonder Babrador was the most barren city in the Omor Empire. Later, these cities passed along the way were larger than the other in terms of scale.
The city they left this morning, called Gea, is almost three Flores, and it is said that its permanent population is 800,000.
800,000, haha, this city of Geria has refreshed Locke's cognitive limit, and the refresh process will not stop for the time being, because their end point has not yet arrived.
Locke was very curious about how spectacular his capital would be with 700 million people.
As for why Knight Garon was the deputy city lord of Babrador, according to Angelina, in the Omor Empire, Emperor Omor will give a position as a city lord for every strong man who has reached a formal knight.
In Forstan, a powerful official knight was enough to allow the king to grant the title of marquis, while in Omore, he could only be a city lord.
However, having a city with at least 200,000 to 300,000 is no worse than the marquis of the small kingdom. Except for the city itself, the villages and towns around the city are all under the jurisdiction of the city lord.
"This Knight Gallon should have offended someone to be sent to that kind of city as the deputy city lord." Angelina smiled. Her carriage had a good sound insulation effect, so there was no need to worry that people outside would hear it.
It was another intrigue among the nobles, and Locke sounded like he lacked interest every time.
"How many powerful people are there in the Omor Empire, the official knight-level powerhouse?" Locke asked what he was most concerned about. He wanted to know how strong the strength and foundation of this empire that dominated the continent and had hundreds of vassal states were.
"The Omor Empire is also known as the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Cities." Angelina glanced at Locke and said slowly.
"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Cities." Locke murmured, a city has more than one official knight, then Ten Thousand Cities
Locke discovered that the veil of the world seemed to have just lifted a corner for him, and it turned out that he was still a frog in the well.
