Shaar and Ruhr entered the territory of Byzantine Empire with their followers. After crossing the frontier, they first reached Denzel city which was situated not removed from the north of frontier area. There was a complete resident inhabitants of about 10,000 folks, however due to its location on the frontier area there have been additionally plenty of rural-urban migration occurring and the city’s safety was usually left in chaos; nonetheless, the commerce on the frontier area had introduced the city plenty of vitality.

Because of the struggle with Odin folks, the momentary military from the navy space have been all set right here.

There was Wildfire City, which was not too distant from Denzel City. Mainly, it wanted both a two day trip or one complete day of quick driving to achieve the city.

Though Denzel Metropolis was only a small metropolis, the size of its panorama was twice that of Wildfire City, with broad and tall partitions, displaying one of many navy methods onto this frontier space city for struggle preparation. As soon as a struggle started, this city might be instantly be reworked into navy fortress. In line with the empire’s navy regulation, the wall was constructed in accordance with the extent of the navy fortress. It was six meters vast, eleven meters excessive, with 4 corners constructed with protruding tower corners.

Tursh got here to Byzantium for the primary time, and it was additionally his first time to get to see such an enormous metropolis, so his eyes have been fairly busy trying round. In comparison with Wildfire City, Denzel Metropolis had was way more affluent than the anarchy of Wildfire City. There have been infantry armies carrying excessive normal armor vests, with the royal flag, and armed forces flag flying ferociously together with tall wall.

The constructing within the metropolis was clearly a lot larger than these in Wildfire City, this making Tursh didn’t cease of trying round and desperately stared across the metropolis when he walked into the town.

Denzel Metropolis was extra civilized, individuals who strolling on the street all had nicer garments and their clothes kinds have been extra pronounced with Byzantine options: Males have been largely wearing lengthy linen gown with lengthy and barely tilted pointed boots. The waist reduce that narrowed the gown reducing might completely manifest a person’s robust physique. Some males have been armed. There have been some folks dressed up like warriors, with low-cost leather-based or iron breastplate, and wore warrior’s badge. However all these have been much less distinguished in Wildfire City.

There have been numerous varieties of outlets together with the highway: the blacksmith, the pub…. But there was one distinguished factor, Byzantine girls. These have been apparently extra conservative than these in Wildfire City, and so they largely wore cloaks and capes, not simply to maintain out the wind, but in addition to cowl their face. Their body-wear was comparatively conservative. Just a few of the ladies dressed luxuriously in silk gown, with few servants following from behind to take care of their mistresses. These mistresses have been largely to be seen coming into some clothes shops or cosmetics retailers and different related locations.

Denzel metropolis was occupied by troops. Troopers that wearing navy uniform might be seen in every single place within the metropolis for the reason that struggle ended, as if they started to relaxation. Typically drunk males lingered round on the road after having a drink at pub beside the road. Shaar frowned after taking a look in any respect of this. This sort of slack was unimaginable to search out within the thirteenth corps.

Denzel Metropolis was not solely a metropolis that had a big scale of land, however the space was additionally bigger than that of Wildfire City’s. There have been plenty of small villages with massive farmlands surrounding the town. Denzel metropolis administratively was belonged to the Moore County on the north of empire and Moore County was crucial grain producing district on the north of Byzantine Empire. And what was extra, this metropolis was nonetheless instantly underneath the jurisdiction of the imperial central and it had not been included underneath the licensed power of Terma navy space command. In spite of everything, right here was one of many frontier area. Although there have been plenty of frontier commerce for oil, water and grains, every time a struggle in opposition to Odin folks started, it was the primary place to be affected by the risk. So, these assholes within the military didn’t ever want to seize this district. One phrase…… The so-called navy governors of Terma navy, they’d put in themselves as aristocratic warlords.

The commander of the momentary navy theater was Common Clark who was from the Imperial Military of the empire. He was a agency Therma navy system advocate. His household owned a Therma navy area within the south-east of Empire which had been handed down for 2 generations and Common Clark not too long ago served an necessary place within the Empire’s navy headquarter. However when Shaar and Ruhr got here to momentary navy headquarter at Denzel Metropolis, Common Clark didn’t present any unfriendliness regardless that Tursh had triggered plenty of troubles to the military.

Nevertheless, Common Clark acted in a really hasty method, he held a really temporary and easy award-conferring ceremony and gave a gold badge of braveness to Tursh. He neither personally awarded Shaar in a proper etiquette nor gave him a navy salute. The entire course of was solely witnessed by a number of adjutant after which he left in a rush as if he have been afraid of getting hassle if he have been with Tursh for longer interval.

Ruhr was probably not glad of all this.

“Rattling, if at present was to award that foolish man, he ought to have welcomed him with extra heat. Inviting all of the noble folks within the metropolis to return to the ceremony with bands taking part in music and with the purple carpet adorning the flooring… I am afraid this ceremony is essentially the most cursory ceremony that I’ve ever seen.”

Shaar appeared to be probably not care about all these. He held his gold badge and begin to murmur: “How a lot does this piece of gold value? Nicely, this gold may be very heavy, is that this pure gold?” The troopers have been probably not nice with Shaar, however he didn’t even care about it. Anyway, it was a journey itinerary, all catering and lodging have been paid by navy.

The soldier of momentary navy despatched a chubby officer to be in command of welcoming them.Shaar began to demand to remain in greatest resort of the town and to partake in the most effective meals and wine, all of those calls for have been every accepted by the officer. Zhai Quartermaster additionally quietly handed Shaar an enormous piece of gold which was sufficient to feed one complete household for greater than a 12 months!

Not lengthy after that, a number of glorious horses have been being pulled to the entrance of Shaar. The soldier requested for one factor solely:” You group of individuals, when you get what you need, please go away!”

Ruhr then got here out with an concept of ripping these troopers off, so Shaar began to demand for a number of units of high grade cavalry armors and equipments that have been produced from a well-known mining space that made equipments and weapons comparable to swords and likewise cavalry armors that used gentle metal which have been all situated at south of the Byzantine Empire. The cavalry armors have been made of sunshine parts and had superior protection skill. This sort of excessive normal equipments have been solely given to excessive grade troopers!

his followers, they have been now all carrying costly armors, and Shaar was glad. Ruhr sighed: “Rattling, if I have been within the military it could take me seven or eight years and solely then would I be eligible to put on such go well with of armor, you guys are so extravagant. Even your followers are additionally given such a excessive normal go well with of cavalry armor…”

Shaar turned a supercilious look: “I believed that is what you advised me a second in the past!” The soldier was very clear:” You may get no matter you need, however please go away as quickly as potential.”

Shaar was frank. After he acquired all of the issues he needed. He would go away soo after that.

The second they have been about to go away Denzel Metropolis, Shaar’s followers, Tatara and Soulster have been driving on the best horses, carrying costly smooth armors with their horses adorned with excessive class horse saddles and stirrups, all these can solely be loved by a senior officer. Shaar was much more extraordinarily outfitted than his followers. He was carrying high-class armor which value 100 gold coin. It was a paladin’s physique armour, mild put on. The armor was made up from gentle metal, and on the necessary physique elements, such because the chest, again and shoulders, could be thick metal plates. Sporting armor was the usual imperial Knight look. Though based mostly on the id of Shaar he was nonetheless unqualified to put on this armor, however he carried out a significant meritorious service, and getting a title was a sure factor. He rode a purple horse which was chosen by Ruhr. In line with the chubby officer, this sort of horses might solely be utilized by those that ranked within the high 5 within the thirteenth Common Corps of the empire. Driving on such a positive horse, and carrying high-class armor, with a bearskin cloak behind draped over his shoulders, he was adopted by Tatara and Soulster who have been dressed much better than the abnormal flag Corps ensign. Those that didn’t know the true id of Shaar, any particular person would have mistaken Ruhr, who stood beside Shaar, as one in all Shaar’s followers and all the band itself might have been mistaken as a part of the Common Corps.

Initially, Shaar had the intention to demand for carriage, however on this regard the Ruhr refused.

The chubby officer instantly mentioned: “We’re troopers, we don’t want carriages! Troopers who dwell luxuriously are now not an actual soldier! My instructor, Duke of Minas all the time advised me this.”

*******

Though Moore County was not one of many areas that was underneath the Therma navy system, the Imperial Military with farming system had already been launched for about 100 years. Away from the town of Denzel, there have been fairly quite a lot of small villages alongside the best way, and one might see farmers who wearing navy uniforms, however carried a hoe and shovel with the farm. Every village had an empty coaching floor, however the Imperial Military with farming system was declining. Clearly weapons that have been utilized by these farmers had already develop into rusty, and the coaching grounds have been filled with weeds.

After leaving the town of Denzel, the chubby man was in an eccentric temper. He obtained the brand new command at Denzel’s navy theatre which required him to reach on the imperial capital Oslo inside 15 days; additionally, his vi corps commander duties have been briefly changed by the primary ensign. Aside from that, Ruhr was additionally requested to personally go to the headquarters for debriefing as struggle frontline commander. It was mentioned that this command was urgently handed to the navy headquarter in Denzel Metropolis only a day earlier than Ruhr and Shaar reached Denzel Metropolis.
