As Zhaoming left, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. Snorri threw a small piece of gold to the boss who was slumped on the ground and stood up to leave. There was still a long way to go from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Cemetery.
"This thing is all about making the shell. Boy, I was so excited for a long time."
When he opened Zhaoming's scroll and took a look, Snorri was so angry that he tugged at his beard. He subconsciously thought that the content inside would contain what he needed, but unfortunately this was just wishful thinking on his part.
The Terracotta Warrior Guard is a huge project, and it can be said that every true dragon is trying to study them openly or secretly. According to their respective authority, the technologies they master are also different.
"It seems that no matter where you are, the folk customs in the north are always more robust."
Walking on the official roads of the Weibei provinces, Snorri summarized what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Of course, the climate, food, and more importantly, the greater threats faced made the people here show stronger fighting power.
Yinyin's Weidong Province can be said to be second only to the Central Provinces in Ninghe. The main threats come from Nibon and pirates, and the military pressure is incomparable to the chaotic wasteland outside Changyuan.
Especially at this stage, Nippon is in the midst of a warlord war and is unable to carry out large-scale invasions, and most of the pirate groups can only cause nuisance along the coast. How many behemoths like the God Bless Evil Party can there be?
"Look at these trained peasants, from physical strength to technique to fighting spirit, they are all a level better than those from Weidong Province!"
While resting at night, Eric commented to the peasant spearmen who were training in formation with spears on the threshing floor in the village.
"And those women who shoot arrows, I think they are no worse than any part-time male hunters in the human empire."
"Chendan regards archery as a noble and practical entertainment, and Biaolong especially encourages women to arm themselves and follow the style of the Queen of the Moon to participate in long-range combat. Her number one general is also a woman."
Snorri was also observing, and asked him to say that the Weibei provinces have great war potential. After issuing formal armor equipment and conducting a short period of training, the peasants here can become qualified jade warriors. This situation is
There should be only Kislev in the west that he has not been to yet.
"Hey! Stay here, our king will treat you two to a drink!"
The daily training ended early, and Snorri sent someone to stop the village chief and Baozheng who were taking the lead.
"I see that the two of you conduct training in a very orderly manner. You must have served in the military, right?"
"Sir, both of us were sentry guards in Changyuan."
"Yes, for ordinary people in the Weibei provinces who want to find a full-time official position, joining the army is the first choice."
"Good, I like warriors the most! Can you two explain the rules of this peasant training?"
In Snorri's vision, extensive military training is worth promoting, especially since he also plans to use large-scale foreign troops in addition to defending existing territories. The stronger the combat effectiveness of the mobilized troops, the more professions he can draw away.
soldier.
After stopping and stopping along the way, the dwarf team arrived near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Cemetery as planned. Seeing that it was getting late, Snorri decided to go into the city and rest before making plans the next day.
This small town called Dinglingwei seems to have gradually developed from a military camp. Thousands of years ago, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Cemetery was originally located in a remote place, but the troops stationed all year round had various needs and matching requirements.
With consumption power, many vendors gather here to form a market.
Later, during the military disasters caused by the Northern Chaos' breakthrough in Changyuan several times, the surrounding people discovered that the elite standing troops here could bring a strong sense of security, so they gradually moved here and formed a town.
"He Qingsong, the commander of a certain Dingling Guard!"
"As expected, he is a dragonborn with an arrogant temperament!"
Snorri looked at the general with a high crown and a belt on top of the city, and a dragon pattern embroidered on his brocade robe. He thought to himself. He had already received the news when Snorri landed in Yongchang at the latest, but it seemed that this man was not going to hold any welcome ceremony.
Even the enthusiasm for coming down to greet him was lacking.
"You all are armed with sharp weapons. Don't move around at will after entering the city. If you cause any trouble, huh, this is the province of Weibei, not the territory under the jurisdiction of Minglong!"
"Okay, I am going to visit the cemetery early tomorrow morning, please make arrangements!"
"I have my own generals who will escort them with troops."
Passing through the city gate, a general led the dwarves to the inn that had been designated in advance.
After a speechless night, the next morning, Jiang Jiang led a team of jade warriors to accompany Snorri and his entourage out of the city to the entrance of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Cemetery at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the military attaches dismount their horses and the civilian officials dismount their sedan chairs. We are all on foot, so this rule has nothing to do with it."
The general who led the way was different from the commander. He showed great enthusiasm for Snorri and told many true and false anecdotes along the way.
"What are these monuments?"
"These are the history of the construction and subsequent expansion of the cemetery. The real owner is still behind."
After passing the archway and walking up a short section of red wall, you will see a few jade warriors guarding the gate. Walking inside is the winding Shinto, with stone statues placed at the nodes of each section, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Now is not the time to worship, and there are no other people around. The warriors of both tribes have stepped lightly to avoid disturbing the warriors' sleep.
"These stone statues are the powerful enemies that His Majesty and His Highnesses conquered when they conquered the four directions. Now on our left is the Khajiit chief who once ruled the Heavenly Mountains. His Highness Zhulong also suffered hidden losses under his iron tail.
"
"Is this a bloodthirsty demon on the right? He's a high-level one!"
"Your Majesty once said that this demon is in the third ring, and he has a high status under the skull. If you look to the right, there is a demon named Kabanha. It took the combined efforts of four figurines to kill him. How can it be so?
It also destroyed two respects and created one."
"Haotian Dragon Emperor does not shy away from the damage caused by these powerful enemies."
Snorri looked at the inscriptions on the bases of these stone statues, tick by tick recording the huge sacrifices made by the Cathay Empire to deal with them.
"As long as the enemy is not completely eliminated for a day, they will be vilified and dwarfed, and they will make themselves pay the price. Respecting the enemy is also respecting the living and martyrs."
The Dwarf King was complaining that in the Kingdom of Mountains, there were too many examples where the news reaching Eternal Peak jumped directly from "Easily repelling stupid greenskins and cowardly rats while drinking heavily" to the fall of the fortress.
"Buried on both sides of the Shinto are heroes who have made meritorious deeds. There are tripods and guios offered at all four sections. Alas, tsk, let's move on."
The general has been serving in the Dingling Guards for some years, but this is the first time he has been a tour guide. Being the narrator made him feel better.
"This stele was erected by His Majesty himself, and the plaque was also inscribed by His Majesty. Inside are the clay sculptures and golden bodies of the warriors from the cemetery. Do you want to go in and take a closer look?"
The end of the Shinto suddenly opened up, and he stood in front of a huge stone monument and turned around to ask.
