Chapter 808: The Capital City of Sacred Iceland Kingdom
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In each June, the beginning of summer, Gozidari Plain in Ice and Snow Wilderness would welcome the most beautiful season of the year .
This summer, Gozidari Plain was both the most beautiful and the most boisterous place in Ice and Snow Wilderness .
Since the 896th year of Black Iron Calendar, a majestic city had already been built on Gozidari Plain after about 1 million workers' 3 . 5 years' around-the-clock work .
This city was the 2nd city in Ice and Snow Wilderness and the capital city of Sacred Iceland Kingdom . Before this magnificent city was named by its owner, it had been known as Saint Petersburg by all the Slavs across Ice and Snow Wilderness .
Everybody thought this name was very good, including the elders of the huge bear tribe .
Over the past 3 . 5 years, steel plants, cement plants, machinery plants, foundries and workshops of different sizes started to sprout up like mushrooms after rain across Gozidari Plain so as to build Saint Petersburg . As a result, the entire Gozidari Plain became much more prosperous than before .
As over 10 million immigrants poured in Ice and Snow Wilderness, they brought sufficient, cheap labor forces, lots of technicians, engineers and talents from all walks of life . Meanwhile, these people released a vast market demand . Additionally, the 90 million gold coins that Zhang Tie invested in building Saint Petersburg released a powerful cash flow in the hinterland of Ice and Snow Wilderness . The very cash flow guaranteed the economic prosperity .
With the construction of Saint Petersburg, the cash flow of 90 million gold coins flew in all directions from the hinterland of Ice and Snow Wilderness like trickles . As a result, Saint Petersburg's orders spread over the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness from the most remote mountain bear tribe to the most prosperous Ewentra Archipelago . The entire Ice and Snow Wilderness started to rotate slowly like a steam engine being activated . Meanwhile, it released a vast development potential and led to a vigorous scene all over .
When Blackson Humans Corridor was in its worst situation, the Ice and Snow Wilderness, which had been regarded as a wilderness by numerous people, started to reach its heyday .
'Who brought Ice and Snow Wilderness to its heyday?'
Even a 3-year old kid in Ice and Snow Wilderness could answer this question——His Majesty Peter .
As Saint Petersburg was going to be completed, Peter Hamplester's authority as the tsar of Saint Petersburg was gradually adopted by more and more people .
. . .
At dawn, a xiphodon cavalry team finally arrived at Ginqing Lake Delta Region of Gozidari Plain after one night's gallop where Saint Petersburg, the capital city of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, was located . From here, they could see Elzida Mountain in the distance .
This cavalry team consisted of less than 30 people . All the cavalries wore an armor made of mutated whale's leather . They even smelt fishy . If you looked at them carefully, you might see white salt as fine as sand on the binding sites between the pieces of their leather armors . Generally, such a phenomenon was caused by three reasons: first, their leather armors were picked up from the ocean; second, their leather armors were soaked with their sweat; third, the combination of the above two situations .
At the sight of Saint Petersburg, the head of the cavalry team stopped his mount, followed by all the others . Watching the preliminary contour of Saint Petersburg in the distance, they all felt shocked inside .
The city wall was made of white steel rocks which were extracted from Elzida Mountain . In the morning sunshine, it looked as pure and white as the cleanest snow on the top of Elzida Mountain which had existed there for over 1,000 years . Being different than the natural greatness of Elzida Mountain, this city's contour presented an artificial magnificence .
"Here we are!" The head of the cavalry team turned around and watched his subordinates . He then accented, "The city built by His Majesty Peter, also the capital city of Sacred Iceland Kingdom!"
All the cavalries' eyes radiated a special brilliance . Watching this city, many of them felt proud . Over 3 years ago, this sense of pride just belonged to their tribe, though .
The head just clamped the stomach of his xiphodon by his legs . Closely after that, his xiphodon had rushed forward, followed by all the other cavalries . . .
This cavalry team then rushed towards Saint Petersburg along the Marly River . After a few minutes, they met another cavalry team who were galloping their xiphodons towards them . The population of the new cavalry team was twice that of theirs . Besides, the members of the new cavalry team looked more capable than them with more excellent equipment .
"Stop, report your status, please!" The commissioned officer of the new cavalry team raised his arm to stop this travel-stained team when they were 50 m away from each other .
"I'm Hags, the head of the sea bear tribe!" The head of the travel-stained cavalry team raised up his identification plate and shouted, "I have an emergency military intelligence to report to His Majesty Peter!"
After knowing their purpose and checking their identities, the commissioned officer gave way to them . Not only that, he even led them to Saint Petersburg .
With the convoy of this cavalry team, the sea bear tribe's cavalries smoothly passed another two cavalry teams' obstruction and one roadblock and finally arrived at Saint Petersburg after over 40 minutes of travel .
This city looked utterly different than they saw from afar just now .
The design of Saint Petersburg was very special . Looking down at it from the air, you would see that the contour of this city was like a special snowflake . This city was surrounded by six inter-connected huge, outstanding diamond-shaped battle fortresses . Being linked with the 6 diamond-shaped battle fortresses was a standard hexagonal city wall . The city gates were on the hexagonal city wall behind two diamond-shaped battle fortresses .
With this structure, Saint Petersburg looked especially beautiful . What was more, with such a design, this city had a terrifying defensive ability . Each and every enemy had to face the counterattack from the city-defense weapons on two battle fortresses and one part of city wall at the same time . If the opponent wanted to attack any battle fortress, they had to suffer a great loss; additionally, after destroying any one battle fortress, they would definitely ram onto the sharpest and the firmest joint between two parts of the city wall and be struck by weapons from the two parts of the city wall at the same time .
The cavalries of the sea bear tribe felt that the design of Saint Petersburg was very fabulous . However, at this moment, these cavalries didn't have time to appreciate it . After entering the city from a southeast city gate, they directly rushed towards the Summer Palace of the tsar in the center of this city .
Saint Petersburg had 6 thoroughfares, all of which converged in the core area of this city .
The core area of this city was the Summer Palace of Sacred Iceland Kingdom .
In Ice and Snow Wilderness, summer was the nicest and most precious season; therefore, that man's residence, also the hub of the authority of Sacred Iceland Kingdom was called Summer Palace by people .
It was very boisterous in the city . Over 2 million people were living in Saint Petersburg . Many new buildings appeared on the two sides of the thoroughfares which could hold 12 vehicles in a row . Additionally, new buildings were rising everywhere, making the entire city vigorous .
Besides private cars, there were also public buses on the thoroughfares of Saint Petersburg .
After entering the city, all the cavalries slowed down .
In Saint Petersburg, besides Grey Palace warriors and fighters of Thor's Hammer, only heads and elders of tribes across Ice and Snow Wilderness and their retinue could ride their mounts on the thoroughfares . What a special honor!
When they passed by the square of Grey Palace, Hags, the head of sea bear tribe found that Grey Palace was holding a grand ritual today as numerous clergymen in white costumes and black costumes were gathering on the square . Mountain people, mountain sea! Everybody was waiting for something with a solemn and desired look . . .
"Are they holding a ritual?" Hags asked the commissioned officer of Thor's Hammer who escorted them all the way here .
"His Majesty had just conferred His Excellency the Maxim as the archbishop of the entire Ewentra Archipelago a few days ago . It's the first time for His Excellency the Maxim to hold the mass of ode after advancing to the archbishop . Therefore, so many clergymen were attracted and gathered in the square!" The commissioned officer answered respectfully .
As the cavalry team of the sea bear tribe had been on the way during the past few days, they had no connection with the outside . Therefore, Hags was shocked inside when he was told that the first archbishop of Ancient God Church had appeared, but not the heads of the major bear tribes across Ice and Snow Wilderness .
