Chapter 6 The Capital

The premiere empire in the old world.

Compared with the Sigma Empire, the territory is nearly twice as large as the empire, annexing most of the essence of the old world.

The Sylvanian Empire.

After experiencing endless wars, I finally officially won the victory. This is a time to celebrate together!

With the efforts of countless people of lofty ideals (vampires?), the empire defeated humans, defeated dwarves, and defeated the Chaos Alliance and the High Elves. It can be said that the empire is the most warlike and powerful force in the old world, and even the entire material world!

The old provinces of Sylvania, Tyrier and the endless mountains were redied after obtaining the Chaos Dwarf Land. The ten provinces of Ostland, Ostmach, Nordland, Miranden, Hock, Tarabek, Steerland, Ivey, Weisenland and Rick of the Sigma Empire. A total of fifteen provinces, a total of fifteen counties, constitute the main body of the empire. After statistics, there are 57 million households and more than 190 million people! The territory has been explored, exceeding 6.4 million square kilometers! Among them, you can obtain magic crystals, coal, iron, copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum, oil, nine magic metals and more than seventy extremely precious strategic minerals!

There is also a huge forest treasure house in the Central Great Forest, which covers an area of ​​more than 400,000 square kilometers. There are large rivers with abundant water and excellent water resources, such as the Rick River, the Steerland River, and the Ive River. There are fertile fertile fields on this vast land, pastures with countless cattle and sheep, and lakes and rivers that can salvage countless fish and shrimps. There is almost no place in this country that is useless. It can be said that this is a land given by heaven, a great foundation that can be passed down for generations!

At present, the Sylvanian Empire and the vampire group are the pioneers of this great foundation and the masters of this territory!

That's it.

When the celebration of the Ostermach Fortress Group ended, I left behind a group of the most capable vampire officers, and a total of thirty divisions and more than one million undead troops.

Although for hundreds of years, or even longer, the empire did not need to worry about war. But one day the chaos in the north will rise again and be unified again under the command of a barbaric and arrogant God-selected Doom Lord. By that time, this fortress will be reused. Or as a shield for defense, this possibility is very small, or as a base for advance for offense. So, in this era, the fortress group of Ostermacher will still be treated as an important military base by the empire. After instructing the tribes of those vampire officers, I once again led the army south. In the hinterland of the empire, the new capital that the empire is currently building, stopped.

Given the current vast territory of the empire, the original two capitals were planned to be in Otdorf, led by Prince Rick, the original capital of the Sigma Empire, and Dekenhof in the original territory of the Principal of Sylvania. These two places are in the southeast and the other is in the southwest. They are not good places to build capitals and businesses. So after weighing the trade-offs, although in this era, the transportation and railway network has been invented, it is impossible to build a railway network that runs through the entire empire for a while.

In the vast majority of the territory of this empire is just a newly conquered territory that has just been conquered, and a rebellion may break out by accident, it is very necessary to connect the empire with convenient transportation.

So I chose this place. Located in the south of the Principality of Tarabek, a wilderness near the forest in the central region, there is a road that merchants from the Old World who traveled from north to south for thousands of years. They communicated with Ostland, the northernmost end and Tyriar, the southernmost end. Every summer and autumn, there are huge groups of pack horses, and horse-drawn carriages from south to north, or from north to south. They bring a large number of goods to the north and south ends of the Old World.

It can be said that at this time, the old world, which is currently in the migration of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, is still in the strong old feudal color, is the most worth mentioning and the largest transportation road. It is a solid rammed earth road that can drive four carriages side by side. In addition to the simple drainage ditch, it can be said that it is the most rare technical means in the previous era.

It is said that this road was built when the God Emperor Sigma was still in power. The visionary Emperor Sigma mobilized more than 300,000 people and 100,000 large animals. It took more than fifteen years to complete this major project. This was a very remarkable thing at that time. His emperors and emperors of Sigma from all dynasties also attached great importance to this road.

It was just because of the cheating electoral system and the continuous conquests over the years that the maintenance and maintenance of this road were done quite poorly. With the decline of public security, the jungles on both sides of the road became the most popular area for bandits, green-skinned and beast-like people. The imperial patrol troops, bounty hunters and mercenaries, and caravans fighting against these heretics on this road were endless. The corpses of humans and humanoid monsters who died on this road were said to be enough to pave the entire road twice and have more surplus. However, despite this, this road is still the most important traffic trunk line in the old world. None of them.

"But it will soon become a thing of the past." I thought so. While standing on a hill that will be flattened in the future, I looked at a new road that was breaking ground not far away. Next to the rammed earth road, a wider 16-lane avenue made of asphalt, cement and concrete was paved into a straight and flat road under the operation of a large group of worker ants. This is a solid highway that can be used by hundreds of tons of load-load trucks according to later standards. Next to these worker ants, several vampires and a team of semi-dead were talking loudly with several dwarves. They were engineers responsible for surveying, designing and building the road.

On the other side, a large number of worker ants were using cement sleepers, gravel and seamless steel rails to build a modern rail railway. The cement poles on both sides of the railway were also erected bit by bit. "Electricity" was originally just used as props for a man between magicians. A new way of use began to exist within the empire. A large number of power plants and hydropower stations were under construction. In fact, this is also part of the new capital. The empire will build a great city with full electrical lighting.

This highway, as well as an eight-track railway, will be built as quickly as possible, turning the ancient rammed earth road into useless dregs. Modern mode of transportation will greatly increase the flow of resources and population within the empire. The scene of dirt and mud on sunny days and rainy days will never be seen again. This is a good thing in any case.

Next to the workers who are building highways and rail railways on these two roads is the prototype of the Empire's future capital. Here, 300,000 workers are filling the troughs of the ditches, flattening hills and woodlands, opening up enough open spaces, and building various huge and luxurious main buildings here.

The largest palace is located in the center of the city. The magnificent palace is rising from the ground. Excellent stones such as marble, marble and white marble are being built into gorgeous palaces at the fastest speed, with long corridors and pavilions, lakes, rockery, stream gardens, and fountains being built. Compared with other palaces in the Middle Ages, the biggest difference between this palace is that it has a full set of electrified lighting equipment and a complete set of heating equipment. These equipment will eventually be reflected in gorgeous crystal chandeliers, beautifully styled lamp posts and alloy warm water pipes buried under the palace.

After the construction of this royal palace is completed, the best treasures collected from all over the world will fill the palace. The imperial garden will be filled with strange flowers and plants from the old world and even the new world. The strange beasts will be filled with countless rare birds and beasts. The entire palace community will become a 100,000-fold greater royal building than the Worry-free Palace in Ultradorf.

Next to the palace are various government buildings, which are slightly inferior to the palace in scale, but are definitely not inferior to the vampire clan's settlement area. The venue of the Citizens' Conference, the holy land and temples of the Church of Science and Technology and Truth, the office buildings of the Imperial Government, and the separate office buildings of various government departments such as the Empire, the economy, and military, and the central bank of the country... All of this will be shown in the most beautiful way.

Around these buildings are neatly planned residential areas with complete heating systems, electrical systems, tap water systems, natural gas pipeline systems, and large areas of professional commercial areas.

Professional and vast drainage systems, urban cleaners served by workers, public garbage cleaning systems and public toilets, and professional urban management laws will ensure the cleanliness and sanitation of the city... This series of residential areas can ensure that more than one million people live here. The surrounding wilderness will also be opened as supporting towns and villages dedicated to serving the city. With these populations, the population in the capital circle is likely to exceed two million.
