Chapter 457: Duke Idar enters the city
September 17, 539 in the new calendar.
This will undoubtedly be a day of great historical significance for the future Principality of Idar.
only……
It seems that many people have not yet realized this.
That morning,
Almost all the civilians working near the city of Basel saw that astonishing convoy.
This is not because the horses in the caravan are so handsome, nor because the guards in the caravan are so flamboyant, but because...
Compared with these, what really shocked them were the "carriages" with four wheels underneath that could speed along smooth roads at extraordinary speeds!
What is that? Almost all the civilians who saw that kind of "carriage" had this question in their minds.
The magic car, as a new thing that had just been born in the Principality of Idar, was completely beyond their cognition.
Not to mention the original Basel residents who had only heard of the magic industrialization, even if it was in Idar City or the Merlin Special District, the passing of the magic cars would definitely blind everyone's eyes! Seven magic cars were lined up vertically, with Idar light cavalry guards running on both sides.
In today's era, the impact that such a scene can bring is definitely much stronger than any Hollywood movie special effects in the previous life.
The seven magic cars all present an extremely strong industrial style. The clear edges and lines on the body make ruggedness and elegance coexist, giving people a grandeur that is difficult to describe in words.
On both sides of the hood, the flag of the Principality of Idar and the emblem of the Stuart family were hung on the special small flagpoles, which instantly raised the profile of the entire magic team to a higher level! Any Idar people with a little common sense would realize that this was definitely the team of the Duke of Idar - Bruno Stuart.
Bruno, old Ford, Liszt, L'Hôpital...
There was not only Bruno in the convoy, but also many high-ranking officials of the Principality of Idar.
The reason why they arrived in Basel at this time... was only one purpose, that is, to preside over the first plenary session of the upper and lower houses of Idar! So far, the idea of building the Idar Parliament Building has only remained in Bruno's mind.
so……
Since the Idar Parliament Building in the city of Idar has not yet broken ground, Bruno naturally has to choose a place that is prestigious enough to hold this meeting.
The Basel Palace located in the city of Basel... undoubtedly became the first choice for many Idar officials, including Bruno.
You know, since the Idar army took over this vast land, Bruno has never set foot on this land in person.
I took advantage of the meeting time to stroll around Basel and inspect this new territory.
This is not only a declaration of the Principality of Idar's rule and sovereignty over this land, but also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the Principality of Idar's strength!
The Idar soldiers guarding the gates of Basel had already received news of the Duke's impending arrival, so... long before the magic convoy arrived, the Idar soldiers had already formed a battle formation at the city gate.
The civilians living in this city were naturally extremely curious about the arrival of Duke Idar.
after all……
Common people are the most genuine and honest group of people in this era.
Although they had some doubts about Idar's army at the beginning, but... as Bruno said, time will prove everything.
The actions of Idar officials were seen by the civilians living in this city, and the strict military discipline of the Idar army was remembered by the civilians living in this city.
not to mention……
Whether they were officials or soldiers of the Principality of Idar, they would pay when they ate on the street, they would not rob others when they bought goods, and they would not force anyone when they recruited.
Compared to the former Basel royal family, the Paulsen family, the rule of the Principality of Idar over this land has made life much better for the common people.
They no longer had to live in fear all day long, fearing that they might anger some noble lord who came from nowhere; nor did they have to worry about the ruffians hiding in the corners of the city, because the Idar army "cleaned up" the city as soon as they arrived here.
From now on, they only need to submit to the Stuart family and obey the orders of the Idar Government Office.
Even though Idar's army had only been here for over a month, the people living on this land had already gradually accepted the regime that had overthrown the Kingdom of Basel in their hearts.
so……
When the convoy carrying Bruno and others was driving slowly on the Via Nerva, the civilians almost all widened their eyes and looked curiously at the vehicles in front of them that they had never seen before.
Looking at the faces of the civilians on the street, Bruno even rolled down the window of the car and waved to them.
At that moment, the civilians present were stunned.
To be honest, the reason they stood here was just to watch the fun.
They never thought that the high and mighty Duke would actually greet them and smile at them.
Looking at that young face...
An indescribable feeling gradually emerged in the hearts of the civilians present.
The convoy traveled for a long time from the city gate to the Basel Palace, and Bruno waved for a long time.
But……
Looking at the changes in the civilians' faces, Bruno knew... it was worth it.
Because of Bruno's actions, the common people of this era saw a hope that they had never had before!
…
As a typical Basel-style building, although the Basel Palace has abandoned the architectural style of domes and spires, its flat-roofed architectural form appears particularly upright and majestic.
The upper part of the outer wall of the palace is lined with marble statues of figures in various shapes, which are beautifully shaped and lifelike.
At the main gate of the palace, Idar soldiers with neat ceremonial guards and strict military discipline had already formed neat formations, awaiting the arrival of their Lord Duke.
Sam Layton opened the car door for Bruno himself, and looked at the industrial-style cars in front of him with longing.
He had heard of the "Benedict" car produced by Idar's First Automobile Works a long time ago, but because he had always been leading troops outside, this was the first time that Sam Layton witnessed this new creation brought by the magic industry.
"Don't worry..."
Facing Sam Layton's envious gaze, Bruno patted him on the shoulder and said, "When you return, the first batch of military vehicles of the Principality of Idar will probably be officially put into service!"
"real?!"
Hearing this, Sam Layton's face suddenly became extremely surprised.
As the commander-in-chief of the Idar Army, Bruno had already described to him many times the changes that magic vehicles could bring to the Idar Army.
And Sam Layton always remembers the grand scene that Bruno once told him. That will be the starting point of a new era!
"Of course it's true."
Bruno nodded, then changed the subject, "But... this is not our topic today!"
He turned around and looked at the crowd not far away, and said silently:
"History will remember this day. The future Principality of Idar may also undergo a transformation because of what happened today!"
【Today's joke】
An underage dragon was beaten by his father because he secretly watched a Jackie Chan movie.
