Chapter 187 Ropes City
Ropes City.

This is another important city in the north of the empire and one of the most economically developed commercial cities in the entire north.

Because it has the largest aviation port in the north, merchants from all over the world come here, and it is also the only city in the north that operates civilian magic airship flights.

of course.

In addition to the regular government and trial systems, the 31st Imperial Army is also stationed here.

The Imperial 31st Army consists of one standard aviation division, one aviation marine brigade, one aviation support brigade, and one airborne heavy brigade, with a total of 3.2 people. It is a true Imperial Air Force.

It is precisely because of the existence of this force.

Although the Kingdom Army was rampant in the north, they never dared to turn their greedy eyes to the central, eastern and western regions of the empire. However, this imperial air force did not dare to rush to the aid of the city of Kareni.

Unlike Kaleini, the city of Ropus does not have an air defense crystal hub.

The Crystal Hub is a legacy of the ancient wizards. In this Dharma Ending Age, although the Empire's magicians still have the technology to repair the Crystal Hub, they can no longer manufacture it.

Therefore, once the troops are divided into Kareni, the city of Lopus will be in danger of falling.

If Kareni is the front tooth of the northern empire, then the city of Ropus is the heart of the northern empire. Once this transportation hub falls into the hands of the kingdom's army, it will not only declare the fall of the north, but also directly threaten the entire territory of the empire.

even……

Even the imperial capital is no longer infallible.

This is also the reason why Foster, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, never thought of asking for help from the city of Lopes from beginning to end. He was also worried to a certain extent that the strategic target of the Kingdom Army was not Kareni, but the city of Lopes.

Come to the city gate.

Vega discovered that the city gates were under full martial law, and the three forces of the Ropes government system law enforcement team, the Ropes trial system trial corps, and the Ropes 31st Army Marine Brigade actually cooperated in the inspection.

Whether it is an individual or a caravan.

Anyone who wants to enter the city must undergo strict scrutiny by these three forces.

Rodney Caravan is no exception.

A law enforcement team stopped Rodney's caravan at the city gate, and began to check the identification documents and inspect the goods one by one.

"Proof of identity, please."

A law enforcement officer said to Vega. Even though Vega looked like a child, the law enforcement officers did not ignore him. Due to the war, the inspection at the city gate had become extremely strict.

Vega showed his officer ID.

The law enforcement team member did not take the documents, but saluted Vega, pointed to the back and said: "We have no right to check the officers' documents, please move to the military inspection team."

Vega handed the documents to the military.

After the military inspection team checked Vega's identity, they saluted and said, "Welcome to Ropes City. Thank you for your hard work on the front line. May the glory of the empire be with you."

“For the Empire.” Vega returned the greeting.

At this time, Vega also noticed that the armed forces of the three systems of Lopus City all had a thumb-sized round badge on their chests. The name of the badge seemed to be Wings of Freedom, which was also the city emblem of Lopus.

“It really is a city that symbolizes freedom.”

Looking at the bustling streets, people wearing different styles of clothing, and people of different skin colors coming and going, Vega couldn't help but sigh at the tolerance and freedom of the Lopus culture. This lively atmosphere was completely different from the seriousness and oppression of Kareni.

Follow the caravan.

Three hours later, Vega and Rodney's caravan arrived at the Ropes Civilian Airport.

What comes into view is a super-large civil aviation port with a total construction area of ​​57.3 square meters, where large and small commercial and civilian magic airships are docked.

A commercial magic airship is about 2800 square meters. In addition to carrying cargo, the entire magic airship can accommodate about 300 people, and it only requires the magic power of an ordinary magician to drive it.

Looking to the right, the civilian magic airship is much larger than the commercial one. The civilian magic airship is about the same size as the war airship, with a total area of ​​up to 2.7 square meters. Due to the removal of the defense, attack, and speed-enhancing devices, the maximum load can exceed 7000 people.

of course.

It is difficult for magicians of other attributes to drive this behemoth to fly accurately in the sky. Like military war airships, it requires 10 wind elemental mages to provide magic power and precise control.

"Look, this is our Rodney."

Silis stood beside Vega, proudly pointing at a huge magic airship. The silver paint and golden words sparkled in the sun, indirectly indicating the wealth and size of the Chamber of Commerce.

seeing is believing.

When he saw this commercial airship, Vega finally realized how rich the little girl in front of him was and how huge the Chamber of Commerce behind her was.

The price of a commercial airship is about 100 million gold coins.

Plus the cost of hiring a magician is about 3 gold coins a year.

The most important thing is that it is true that only one magician is needed to drive a commercial airship, but considering that a magician can only drive it for 8 hours, magicians are needed to take turns.

Therefore, the standard configuration of an airship is two magicians.

Adding the upkeep and maintenance of the airship, Vega felt that he probably wouldn't be able to afford such an airship in his lifetime. Sure enough, the most direct way was to rely on promotion and wealth, and then use the public airship for private purposes...

Board the airship.

A middle-aged fat man ran over and said, "Miss, you are finally back. We have been staying at the port for 15 days. If you don't come back, we will be expelled from the port by the law enforcement team."

"Thank you for your hard work. What is the latest time the law enforcement team requires us to leave the port?"

"Before 24: at night."

Falk stepped forward and interrupted, "Since there are still 8 hours left, why are you in such a hurry? The young lady has worked hard on the journey, let her have a good rest before we set off again."

"It doesn't matter to me."

Qi Lisi smiled, then asked Vega with concern: "Vega, are you tired? If you are tired, we can wait until night to set off. The noise on the airship is still a bit loud, and it is not easy to get a good sleep after takeoff."

"Don't worry about me."

Vega couldn't stand the look in Silis's eyes and denied it immediately.

"In that case, let's set off immediately."

Seeing that Vega had no objection, Silis gave the order to set off. She didn't want to stay in the north any longer.

"I'll go inform Magician Yves right away."

The wealthy middle-aged man quickly turned around and ran, and in less than a few minutes he brought back a young magician.

This young wizard has golden hair, a handsome face, and an upright figure, and looks as elegant as a gentleman.

He smiled warmly and said to Celis, "My beautiful Miss Celis, you are finally back. I have a request that I need your consent for. Although it is not appropriate to say it in this situation, please forgive my intrusion."

"Master Yves, you're welcome."

Qi Lisi seemed like a different person, with elegant manners and a soft tone.

But Yves' next move made Celis lose her previous elegance——

"Ms. Celis, this request requires your immediate response."

The wizard Yves picked up a rose, suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Excuse me, can you marry me?"
