Mirror of the Sky

Chapter 173: Iron Devil (Part 1)

In the Western Qin Dynasty, the central power of the state was actually dominated by the consul, the Senate and the House of Lords.

Among them, the consul is one official and two deputy, elected by the members of the upper house from the retired commander-in-chief of the main army, the outgoing colonial governor and the administrators of large city-states in the Western Qin Dynasty. The term of office is five years, and re-election is allowed. the powers of the governors, the administrators of the various city-states, and the governors of the colonies.

The Senate is composed of the former chief and deputy consuls, the retired commanders of the main army, the former colonial governors, and the administrators of large city-states in the Western Qin Dynasty. It is only qualified to enter the Senate.

It is necessary to nominate more than three elders of the senate, and one-third of the elders vote to obtain the seat of the senate and become a lifelong elder of the republic. Since then, he will have the ability to decide the goals of the Western Qin War, review the taxes paid by many city-states and colonies in the republic, and be recalled. The power of officials of various city-states and colonial governors in the Western Qin Dynasty.

The House of Lords is elected by all citizens of the Western Qin Dynasty. It is elected once every ten years and is allowed to be re-elected. It has the power to formulate and abolish laws and to review the budget of the national army, local governments and central courts.

Regardless of whether they are consuls, elders of the Senate or members of the upper house, although they are nominally selected by various types of elections, they have long since become the ban of those prominent families in the Western Qin Dynasty. .

Therefore, people like Scipio were only citizens of the Republic before three generations. It was not until the grandfather's generation that he suddenly became the commander of the main army of the Western Qin Dynasty. ;

His father made persistent efforts and retired as the deputy commander of the main army of the Republic. He became the deputy governor of the colony of The Hague with his illustrious military exploits. After 20 years of operation, he has accumulated enough wealth for the further rise of the family;

He is even more of a prodigy. From the day he became a soldier, he began a legendary military career. At the age of 20, he became the centurion of the main army by virtue of his strong strength and bravery. At the age of twenty-five, he became a thousand commander. At the age of 32, he became the ninth youngest regiment commander in the history of the Republic, and finally added three colonies of upstarts to the Western Qin Dynasty, and wanted to ascend to the sky in one step.

To become the vice-consul of the Western Qin Dynasty, which is also known as the 'Vice King' of the Western Qin Dynasty by the general public in Xizhou, is as difficult as going to the sky.

So hearing the eldest son's words, Scipio's icy face showed concern for the first time, "Nine sets of magic scrolls that can quickly build a city, Amedeo, are you sure?"

"He showed it off in front of me last night," Amedeo nodded and replied: "Although it is different from our Western Qin's spell system, the scroll style is very different, but the natural pouring of the earth element energy is not enough. Exactly the same."

Scipio, whose voice fell to the crystal mirror, said in an uncontrollable joyful voice: "For those famous families, a set of spell scrolls that can quickly build a city is one of the most valuable treasures.

If I can start with nine sets of these scrolls, it means that at least three first-class famous families in the Republic or nine second-class famous families will fully support me to become a deputy consul..."

"Father, although you are the conqueror of Carthage," Amedeo was startled and reminded anxiously, "According to the laws of the Republic, you have the right to dispose of all spoils of war on behalf of the legion under your command.

But this does not mean that you can monopolize all the war dividends, if you swallow all the nine sets of spell scrolls, I am afraid there will be…”

"Okay, Amedeo, okay," Scipio immediately resumed his expressionless expression when he heard the eldest son's warning, and interrupted in a deep voice, "You have a flash of inspiration this time, and you thought of letting me The iron devil was sold to the nobles of the foreign continent, maintaining a neutral position in the republic, and sending suitable buyers from the east continent to the blue capital, indeed solved a problem for me.

But after conquering a powerful country, how should the war dividends be divided, you can't really understand it with your current status and vision, so don't say more, let's just do it. ", and then disappeared from the crystal mirror.

In the face of his father's stubborn attitude, Amedeo could only sigh deeply, put the crystal mirror back in his arms, and muttered to himself, "I hope everything goes well." He walked out of the bedroom slowly...

Three days later, in the middle of the night, in the blue city of Carthage, there are hundreds of beautiful sculptures, circular arches and fountains in the central square of the Royal Palace.

A piece of armor made of heavy, light red metal with a faint glow, more than ten feet high and four feet wide at the shoulders, covered with intricate and intricate patterns on the surface, stood under the twinkling starlight.

A few dozen feet away, Zhang Juansheng, who had just enjoyed a sumptuous Western Qin feast, stepped out of the palace and saw the heavy armor like a statue of a powerful giant warrior in the distance. His footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes lit up.

After a few breaths, he came back to his senses, and immediately asked the thin, short but imposing old man beside him with a smile: "Respected Marshal Scipio, that's what the Carthaginian 'Elemental Armor' wore. Battle armor?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," Scipio replied with a smile, "I am a person who pays attention to fairness. I always have to show you the quality of the 'goods' before negotiating the price~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After that , he turned back and commanded: "Elus, go put on the elemental armor of the Carthaginians, and let our distinguished guests from afar see the power of the iron devil. "

Hearing the words, a soldier with a height of seven feet, with a broad frame and solid muscles, who followed Scipio, gave a military salute to the Marshal of the Republic, who clenched his fists and crossed his chest, and responded loudly: "As you order, Your Excellency Marshal." The red armor in the distance walked away.

Looking at Elus' back, Scipio explained to Zhang Huansheng: "Iron Devil is what we Western Qin people call Carthaginian 'Elemental Soldiers', and the selection condition for soldiers is that they are taller than Seven cubits, strong body, cultivated the lowest level of Dou Qi..."

While he was talking, Elus had already walked to the red armor, and he had already prepared to take out a fist-sized, scarlet heart-shaped spar from the waist skin, and put it into a yin on the right chest of the armor. in the engraved groove.

In an instant, a reddish light flashed on the outer surface of the armor, and then with a few crisp sounds of 'chacha...', the armor shell cracked a straight middle seam, which bounced outward, revealing a red light emitting Halo inside.

Seeing this, Elus directly turned and retreated into the inner shell of the giant armor, allowing the cracked armor shell to automatically close and reintegrate into one, and then a raging flame emerged from the armor.
