The journey was calm and we returned to Gothic Fort without any obstacles. The capital of the Norman Empire has now been upgraded to a large city. In addition to all the facilities, many unique buildings have been built: the Royal Advisory House, the Royal Cretaceous Square, the Imperial Guards Barracks, the Imperial Guards Cavalry Barracks, the Royal Academy of Sciences (known as the Seminary), the Grand Library, and the Imperial University. In addition, there are several public creves and parks for citizens to visit and rest.

After several years of development, the entire Gothic Fort has become the largest city in the northern Europe, covering an area of ​​8.2 square kilometers. The permanent population is more than 80,000. Its reasonable urban layout, beautiful urban environment, towering and dreamlike buildings, fountains, vegetation, citizens with confidence and healthy faces, endless caravans, bustling pedestrians on the streets covered with bluestones. Everything makes people coming to the Gothic Fort linger.

The subjects of the Norman Empire proudly declared to people that this is the most favored city of God in the entire Europa, the Catholic world. From Eastern Rome, people call it Constantinople in the north. The Slaans call it Skagragrimsongrad, and from the more distant Arab, Persian and grasslands, they call it the Crown City.

Speaking of which, Egil, who has a system weapon, takes advantage of it. With a system, he is equivalent to having the best designer, the best engineer and the best construction engineering team. He does not require any manpower at all, he only needs enough money to exchange for these buildings. Such power can be said to be a substitute for the gods and horses forbidden spells and magic. This is also the greatest source of confidence and guarantee for Egil to conquer the world.

Because Gothic Fort, because it is the capital, it can build a large number of special buildings that other cities do not have. Of course, there is also a small loophole in it. As long as Egil moves the capital once, then the city that becomes a new capital can build these buildings, and the buildings in the old capital will neither disappear out of thin air nor lose their function. Even Egil has had: if you have enough money, move the capital a few more times. This plan.

Of course, activation does not seem to be feasible. After all, the financial situation of the empire is not very good now. Egil wishes to spend a penny in half. Moreover, the system stipulates that not any city can become the capital. It must at least reach the scale of the city, with a permanent population of more than 30,000, and was defined as the capital before. This is enough. Now, in addition to a capital of Gothicburg, Norman also has Biard... London, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, and four capitals. However, Hamburg did not develop as a city, but as a castle. Therefore, unless it is rebuilt later, it is impossible to be a capital.

As a city that is accompanying the capital... it can also gain some benefits. In addition to more taxes and attracting population, public universities, provincial libraries, imperial guards camps, imperial guards cavalry camps, palaces, and this series of buildings can also be built. In short, it is a weakened version of the capital's characteristic buildings.

Among the fire-like buildings... universities and libraries are cultural buildings, which can increase the chance of producing talents in the city. And officials with better attributes can be recruited in universities to fill in the defects that grassroots officials can only purchase from the system.

The Imperial Guards can recruit a series of troops that are stronger than professional troops. In addition, the Plate Armor has been officially researched successfully. Although there was a lot of room for improvement in weight, defense ability and comfort in the early Plate Armor, it is undoubtedly still a milestone and memorable event. The Imperial Guards were the first elite troops equipped with brand new Plate Armor, holding metallurgical improved elite weapons, and fully armed.

The soldiers who can be recruited in the Imperial Guards' camp are as follows:

Re-equipped Norman Guards, Man and Norman; Equipment: Q-phase full-body plate armor, metallurgical improved tomahawk, cross spear...Compound kite shield, metallurgical improved flying axe, coat half-phoenix heraldic coat. Extreme morale, high training degree...High discipline. Excellent physical strength, carrying Norman Army flag: half-phoenix, conquering land flag (i.e. the left half of the Norman flag, with the phoenix pattern with the ground and fire wings, and Norman embroidery to conquer land; Similarly, the naval flag is on the right half, with the phoenix pattern with the water and wind wings, and Norman embroidery with the ocean). In this way, we can try our best to ourselves and our surrounding friendly forces. At the same time, we can use the violent battle cry to strengthen our own charge and scare the surrounding enemy forces.

Introduction to the Army:

This is a multifunctional, extremely powerful infantry versatile. Each of them has been carefully selected and selected from various armies, and has been retrained and familiarized, and has improved their personal combat skills and overall combat capabilities. They carry multi-help weapons to deal with possible situations. They either form a shield and spear, resist cavalry, or use a tomahawk in close combat, or throw flying axe for short-range support attacks. No matter what terrain or under what circumstances, this elite force is the best support for commanders...

Heavy-mounted Norman Guard Guards, Renhe: Norman; Equipment: Early full-body armor, metallurgical improved super long spear, metallurgical improved long halberd, melee hand axe, small shoe plate shield, half phoenix coat. Very high morale, very high training degree, high discipline. Excellent physique, carrying the Norman Army Half Phoenix flag to inspire friendly forces.

Arms and Umbrellas:

As majestic as mountains and as strong as rocks. The square array with both offense and defense is equipped with elite, Swiss versions of super long spear phalanx and halberd soldiers. However, there are more equipment than that, it can be called the most powerful square army in the Middle Ages and one of the products of the Norman Empire's military reform.

Heavy-mounted Norman Guard Long Axe Army, Man and: Norman; Equipment: Early heavy-duty full-body armor, metallurgical improved long-handed battle axe, spare hand axe, half-phoenix coat. Very high morale, high training degree, medium discipline. Extraordinary physique, carrying half-phoenix army flag to inspire friendly forces. Battle cry strengthens charge and scares the surrounding enemy.

Introduction to the Army:

This is an extremely terrifying heavy infantry army that can be called human-shaped tanks. They came from all over the empire and were selected from layers. Unlike the general guards, their selection criteria were more important to the number of killings, not military merits. They had better physiques than the general guards, as well as thicker plate armor, and equipped with long-handled battle axes with greater lethality, which allowed these soldiers to reach the extreme assault power. Of course, in order to maintain their wildness, the officers did not demand too much from them to maintain a higher discipline. When facing the complex terrain that the cavalry could not be used, or when facing the sequel of the sequel, it was when they showed their skills. They proudly declared that no matter what kind of defense line, they could tear it apart, like fragile paper.

The longbowman of the Imperial Guard, Renhe: Normans from the British Isles, with England and even the elf bloodline, and were equipped with early half-body armor. Purple-shirt longbow (with leather finger covers, cone arrows), hand axes, round shoe shields, half-phoenix coats. High morale, extremely high training degree, excellent physique, carry the half-phoenix military flag to inspire friendly forces. Horse-rejecting wooden stakes can be arranged.

Introduction to the military:

After accepting the rule of the Norman Empire for a long time, these Englishmen, Scotland and Welsh people, sincerely recognized the rule of the empire and devoted themselves to the Norman Emperor in exchange for the opportunity of the only two non-Norman ethnic groups among the Imperial Guards, or non-Scandinavian ethnic groups. The longbows in their hands were made more finely, making their range, accuracy and power surpass ordinary longbows. Their shooting accuracy may be slightly worse than those of the Sherwood Forest colleagues. However, their shooting speed and ammunition carrying capacity are better than the latter. At the same time, their melee ability is also quite good.

Even comparable to ordinary professional Viking warriors.

These four soldiers are generally heavy infantry, phalanx heavy infantry, assault heavy infantry and longbowmen. They form the infantry sequence of the Imperial Guard. In terms of attributes, although it is slightly worse than the ultimate soldiers than the guard knights, it is still better than the Norman heavy infantry, the backbone of the army that Egil currently relies on. Of course, it is also more expensive. The number is not much. However, as long as it is used correctly, it will definitely play an excellent role.

In comparison, there was only one military camp in the Imperial Guard Cavalry, which made Egil feel a little dissatisfied. Of course, soldiers are more important than elites, and not more expensive. The combat effectiveness of the heavy-armed knights of the Imperial Guards also made Egil very satisfied.

Heavy guard knights, people and people: Norman ethnic groups from Germany, Poland, France. Equipment: No. 4 Norman war horse (with good impact, good weight bearing, but limited endurance) war horses are made of plate armor, knights are made of plate armor (slightly heavier than lifting infantry, but slightly lighter than assault infantry), heavy cavalry rifle, compound kite shield, metallurgical improved battle axe, and half-phoenix coat. Excellent physique, extremely high morale, extremely high training degree, and extremely high discipline.

Introduction to the Army:

Like their colleagues in the Imperial Guard, these knights also joined the elites of the army through careful selection, from the Royal Knights, from the heavy cavalry units, or from other places, and passed the numerous tests. Like the Norman army's consistent policy on the heavy cavalry, they value discipline more than ordinary feudal knights, and emphasize groups rather than individuals. Of course, this does not mean that their single individual combat effectiveness is worse. One, the Imperial Guard Knight can fight at least three Royal Knights alone and eventually win... In fact, this is one of their tests to become the Imperial Guard Knights.
