Chapter 246

However, even if it is already light loaded, this kind of road is also a big test for trucks. But fortunately, this time, the caravan's entourage was full of experts. When they met a really impassable area, four people started to lift a car together, and it was very easy to pass.

That is to say, after four days of arduous March, this has to be said to be a very large caravan finally safely through the mountains and walked to the official business road.

Over the last mountain range in the Duchy of arubales, you can see a vast plain with a wide river in the plain and a medium-sized city on the river. It seems that the city was deliberately built on the side of the river, relying on the river to build a natural danger.

But it doesn't look like the city has any military flavor.

Then he left and couldn't help laughing, thinking that if the Duchy of arubales really wanted to fight this city, it would have to come from other places? After all, it's too dangerous to march in such mountains. It's not only inefficient, but also easy to be attacked.

Although there is no military atmosphere in the whole city, the strong and heavy city walls have made people feel that the city has an inexplicable sense of security, and the numerous arrow towers also show that it is really a military fortress.

Of course, there are countless farmhouses built around the fortress. It looks peaceful. It seems that it has been seven or eight years away from disputes.

The motorcade began to move slowly towards the city in front of them, but they were still standing at the height of the mountains looking at the city in front of them.

Angel looked at it and said, "I don't think the place not far away is the birthplace of Acartia, the volcano of Acartia? My teacher once said that it was one of the largest volcanoes on the continent. It is for this reason that acatria has a large number of mineral resources. That is why the Duchy of acatria can become a powerful country, right? By the way, what's the origin of the city ahead? "

"Princess highness, the city is called the" Lord ". The city is garrisoned by the "Golden Dragon" mercenary regiment. "

Before I came to the Duchy of acatria, I mended the customs of acatria. I understand that this "Golden Dragon" mercenary regiment is the first of the mercenary regiments of the Duchy of acatria, with a scale of more than 37000 people. Although these 37000 people are distributed all over the country, they do not include those outside members. That is to say, if they need to be called, they can directly call up 37000 strong fighting forces, which is more than one The army of an ordinary principality, and it is the kind of situation in which both the active and reserve forces are included.

In addition to the other mercenary regiments of the Duchy of acatria, it is no wonder that although the country is not very developed economically, it has become a duchy no less than the Kingdom relying on mercenary business and mineral resources.

In the Duchy of acatria, all kinds of laws are extremely tolerant of mercenaries. Almost one third of the famous large mercenary regiments on the mainland have their headquarters in the Duchy of acatria. The area of the Duchy of acatria is only 6000 square kilometers, and the population is only more than 9 million. However, in this country, the total number of standing troops and mercenaries in China is only 1 And it's almost 200000. Later, with the help of the developed manufacturing industry, the regular army of the Duchy of acatria can also be said to be an elite force on the continent.

And the Duchy of acatria was very strong. Since the founding of the principality, the founder of the country has set the national policy of all the people being armed, and the whole country's support for mercenaries also rose at that time.

Since then, although the Duchy of acatria, which is rich in various minerals, is a piece of fat in the eyes of various powers. However, in the hundreds of years since the founding of acatria, the Duchy of acatria has never been defeated in dozens of defense wars. Of course, in foreign wars, those mercenaries are reluctant to participate. They protect the Duchy of acatria in order to have a good development environment for themselves. They are not in such a good mood to work hard for this country.

However, even so, the Duchy of acatria is also very satisfied, but correspondingly, they will give some cities and some important military fortresses in the territory to the mercenary regiment as the residence, and as a reward, they will take part of the tax revenue of this place as the fund of the mercenary regiment.

However, under this situation, these mercenaries must swear allegiance to the Duchy of acatria, and must not help other countries to invade. When other countries invade, they must make a certain surrounding response accordingly.

Many high-level figures in the mercenary regiment will also serve as officials of the Duchy of acatria. Among them, most of the nobles in the Duchy of acatria are directly appointed to the top of each large mercenary regiment. For this reason, quite a number of mercenary regiments are willing to stay here.

However, in order to check and balance the strength of mercenaries, the royal family of acatria controlled most of the weapon manufacturing industry in the principality, and had the right to benefit, a certain degree of military assistance and a certain degree of checks and balances. This is also an important reason why acatria can develop to the present."Golden Dragon? I've heard of the mercenary regiment. It's said that the mercenary regiment has a history of more than 500 years. The founders of the mercenary regiment are three knights with golden dragons as their mounts. At the beginning, they had only three members. Later, in the continuous development, the artistic conception became a giant. How many cities do they manage in the Duchy of acatria, but I'm familiar with them. It seems that their headquarters are not in this city. " Asked angel.

"Princess your highness, you are right. The history of the Golden Dragon mercenary regiment seems to be what you said. And the golden dragon is indeed the largest mercenary regiment in the Duchy of acatria. “ ..
