King’s Kingdom - Chapter 285
Stepping on the war horse, the group walked out of the city in a mighty manner. Where is the country’s most elite army, waiting for their king to lead and defeat all enemies.
In New Lanyin City, small traders sell their products on both sides of the road, and businessmen from other places wear gorgeous clothes and wander the streets, hoping to find big customers.
The decent middle-class citizens walked leisurely on the streets on horseback, taking off their hats from time to time to greet their acquaintances, while the ordinary citizens in the city walked hurriedly. There are unloading workers working in the storehouse, and there are also people in the store. The long cooking smoke extends from the roofs on both sides of the road to the sky, full of human smoke.
The arrival of Theodosius interrupted all of this. After seeing the blue-bottomed red dragon flag of the Lanyin royal family and the fully armed king, the residents along the way fell to their knees, and even the merchants from other places knelt down. lie on the ground.
Those proud middle-class citizens rolled over and dismounted leisurely, took off their hats and put them on their chests, knelt on one knee on the ground, and shouted loudly, “Long live the king!”
This group is different from the squires. They consider themselves to be the backbone of the city. They are often engaged in higher-end labor, such as the accountants hired by merchants, the sword-wielding guards of the large chambers of commerce, and important skills in various handicraft workshops. personnel, or businessmen running some small businesses.
Their conditions are not bad or not bad. They are much better than ordinary citizens, but they are not as good as real wealthy businessmen and big landlords. They basically do not own real estate except their own houses, and long-term urban life is not easy. Allow them to conduct military training.
In this way, the path of the soldiers with the highest social status in the Lanyin Kingdom was completely cut off, but even so, they still hoped that their social status could be improved, and they were proud of supporting the king, which was also an important height of public opinion.
Theodosius did not discriminate against these people. In the era when the capitalists had not yet emerged, these middle classes could hardly be called the dog legs of the proletarians, but they were just a group of citizens with a special skill.
Moreover, it has to be said that under the current social state of the Rhine Kingdom, this group of people, in addition to having a lot of right to speak in the city, are actually out of a marginal state.
No matter whether it is the Kingdom of Rhine or any country on the continent, the group of people with the highest status will always be noble knights. They occupy a large amount of land, occupy politics, and occupy military affairs. Even the king must rely on them to a certain extent.
The second class is slightly different. In the Lanyin Kingdom, the Northern Empire and the Central Empire, the second highest social status group is undoubtedly the military.
These people did not occupy large estates like the aristocracy, because literacy and tradition maintained politics, but they were the main body that constituted the army of a state, the members of the state’s violent institutions.
In this world where social systems tend to be more primitive, the most important functional institution of a country is the army. There is no doubt about this. Although in the Southern Empire and some countries that rely on commerce and have developed commerce, the social status of big businessmen will be higher. Higher, but at least in the Rhine Kingdom, the Northern Empire and the Middle Empire, they are the de facto second-class nobles.
As for these technicians, handicraftsmen, small merchants, and armed guards, they are the same as the vast number of free people and peasants, and they are in the third class of social status. The status is higher than that of the vast number of working people, and in this respect it is similar to the middle class in the capitalist countries of Theodosius’ previous life.
“God of war bless, this war will be a great victory!”
“Long live Your Majesty! Invincible!”
“Please bring honor to the Kingdom of Lanyin!”
Under the kneeling and cheering of the crowd, Theodosius led a group of people out of the gate of New Rhine City.
Outside the city gate, an elite army composed of 14,000 professional regular soldiers waited quietly here, only waiting for the army’s master, the invincible King of Lanyin to appear.
It is spring in the middle and late June, but it will be summer in about a month or so, so the sun appears to be very big, hanging in the sky and showing off its power, spreading its brilliance.
The sun is the incarnation and creation of the creator **** of the sun and the **** of light. He affects the four seasons and climate of this world. In addition to relying on the **** of harvest and fertility, the most important thing for farmers to grow crops is the **** of light. Because once there is no sunshine, even if the power of the goddess of fertility spreads over the world, it will not be able to make the crops bear fruit.
Therefore, everyone is in awe of the sun.
In addition to respect and worship, there is fear.
In addition to bringing warmth and vitality, prolonged exposure to the sun will also make people sick and dead, and crops will wither. It can be said that a sun controls the life and death of all living beings in the world.
But He is like this. He has been hanging high above the sky, not to look directly at it, not to save for Yao, not to die for Jie. Everything that happens in the world seems to have nothing to do with Him, just staring at this piece of land indifferently. world.
This is also the reason why other sects of the polytheistic church can arise. Like the God of Creation, they do not like to develop believers to interfere in politics, and they rarely satisfy the prayers of believers.
Therefore, other various churches can flourish in the world. Otherwise, other gods would not have any competitiveness at all by relying on the creation of the world and the creation of man.
Under the sunlight, the 14,000-strong army was stuck in their position like sharp swords, and their sharp eyes honed from the battlefield were staring at the flag in front of them~www.mtlnovel.com~ that It’s what they’re fighting for.
The polished, shiny tip of the spear reflects sunlight, making the entire array feel as if it cannot be looked directly at the sun. Most people seem to think that this army is majestic and full of chills, even the courage to face it directly. no.
But in the eyes of Theodosius, this army was a sharp sword in his hand, extremely sharp, capable of slaying any powerful enemy standing in front of him and sweeping away all the boulders blocking the road.
“Warriors!” Theodosius stretched out his hand, took the heavy iron lance from Vico’s hand, and put it under his arm, the tip of the spear pointed at the sky.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Theodosius came to the front of the army.
Under everyone’s eyes, this person is extremely burly, riding a strong war horse like a **** descending to the earth, not like an ordinary person, with incomparable majesty and bravery, is the only idol in the eyes of all soldiers.
Theodosius felt countless eyes gathered on his body, but he was not nervous at all, but full of excitement, so excited that he trembled slightly.
The king is born to attract attention!
