Banner of the Evil God

The capital of the Orc Empire is called the "Golden Tent". Long, long ago, the orcs were still in a nomadic society. They lived by following the water and grass and used tents as their residence. At that time, any tribal leader with a little status loved to use golden tents to symbolize power and status.

Later, after years of war, the orc tribes achieved unification. After unification, relevant laws on the color and decoration of tents were formulated.

According to the decree, the entire Orc Empire is only allowed to have one pure gold tent, which belongs to the Orc Emperor; the prince uses a tent with a silver top and a gold edge; the duke uses a tent with a silver top, silver edge and gold thread totem; the marquis uses a tent with a silver top, silver edge and gold thread; the earl uses a tent with a silver top, silver edge and gold tassels at the end; the viscount uses a pure silver tent; the baron uses a silver thread totem tent.

As for those below the baron, they are not even nobles, so how can they be qualified to talk about "ritual system"!

Times have changed. Now the orc emperor no longer lives in tents. They settled on a low hill in the heart of the prairie and built a city here, continuing to use the name "Golden Tent".

This city is often ridiculed because it doesn't even have a city wall.

But why do we need a city wall? If the orcs don't fight others, others should be thankful. Who dares to provoke them?

Monsters? Wild beasts? The orc patrols are all around the city, and the farthest one is even a hundred miles away. What kind of wild beast or monster can pass through the defense line of countless patrols and break into the city to wreak havoc?

The city of "Great Golden Tent" has no stone walls, but it uses countless patrols to build a living wall.

The most conspicuous thing in this city is the tall building that stands majestically on the high platform in the center of the low hill.

The golden roof looks like a tent, which is clearly the emperor's palace.

Around the palace, circles of houses are lined up one after another, extending all the way down the slope.

There is a detail here. The residences of the emperor and the nobles were not built directly on the ground. Instead, they built on a platform. Civilians were not allowed to build such houses. Even those wealthy merchants, as long as they were not noble, could only build their houses on flat ground.

The Orc Empire paid great attention to "etiquette". The foundations of houses were different for different status levels. How many levels can there be from the platform, how high each level can be, what decorative patterns can be used... These are very particular.

Sui Xiong did not look down on this kind of particularity.

He felt that a country and nation with real confidence should not take "etiquette" too seriously. Of course, it would not be completely unconcerned, but it should definitely not be too particular.

Instead of thinking about how to set rules for subjects at all levels, it is better to think about how to win people's hearts.

The country is in people and resources, and definitely not in etiquette.

So the Northwest Republic does not pay much attention to this set. Of course, it is not completely unconcerned, but in today's world, they are definitely the least particular about etiquette.

They have no "imperial garden", no "imperial workshop", and no "imperial style". Apart from some necessary measures to ensure safety, the lifestyles of officials and civilians in the Northwest Republic are not fundamentally different.

When Sui Xiong started doing this, some people advised him not to be so extreme and to respect tradition. However, Sui Xiong rolled his eyes and asked lazily: "Tradition? I don't remember what tradition we jellyfish have..."

This is obviously a far-fetched statement, but His Majesty the Void Mask is really a jellyfish, and no one can ask a jellyfish to follow other people's rules.

The Orc Empire is obviously the kind that follows other people's rules, and they are a bit obsessed. Sui Xiong led his subordinates to walk on the street and saw a white stone road in the middle of the wide street that was about enough to accommodate two people walking side by side, extending from the edge of the city to the center of the city.

"This is the famous 'Golden Horde Road', right?" Steele looked at the white stone road curiously, but did not foolishly walk over to touch it. "It is said that unless the orc emperor allows it, even nobles are not allowed to set foot on this road."

"That's right." Sui Xiong nodded, "If you step on it with one foot, you will have one foot chopped off, and if you step on it with both feet, you will be beheaded. No compromise."

"How terrible! The orc emperor usually doesn't go out, so what's the problem with letting others walk on this road!"

"This is to create a sense of authority and sacredness." Sui Xiong said, "Things that are close at hand have a natural distance, so that the people can clearly understand the gap in status between each other... This method is quite old-fashioned, so-so."

"Huh? Old-fashioned? Is there any other country with a 'Royal Road'?" Steele asked curiously.

Sui Xiong smiled and did not explain.

He couldn't say that on Earth, this method has been used for more than a thousand years and is not rare at all.

The group walked on the wide street, with independent houses on both sides of the street, but no shops were seen.

In the city of "Golden Tent", shops are concentrated in a block called "Merchant Square". Apart from this block, shops are not allowed to open in other places, and violators will be executed.

The place where Sui Xiong is taking his men is also the Merchant Square.

He has already studied the terrain of "Golden Tent". There are about three suitable places to build a guillotine in this city.

The first is naturally the large square in front of the palace, which is large and wide enough to accommodate many spectators.

But this square is not allowed to be entered without reason. Even if it is a noble, it is not allowed to enter this square without a formal mission or the emperor's summons. Even if he kills people there, it is useless.

The second is the large square in front of the guard camp, which is also large and wide enough to accommodate many spectators.

However, civilians are not allowed to enter that square. Nobles are not restricted, but how many nobles are there in total? Besides, they are sympathetic to their own kind, so how can they come to watch the fun?

So the only place he can choose is the last one, the large square of the merchant's square.

This large square is where large-scale markets are held in the middle and end of each month. It is usually empty and useless. This time it is just right for activities.

In fact, it is much smaller than the other two squares, but it has convenient transportation, is adjacent to the civilian residential area, and does not restrict civilians from entering and leaving. It is really perfect.

Of course, with Sui Xiong's strength, whether it is the square in front of the palace or the square in front of the guard camp, as long as he wants, the Orc Empire cannot stop him from calling on civilians to watch the fun. However, Sui Xiong will eventually leave here, and then the Orc Empire may settle accounts with those civilians.

He didn't want to cause such trouble to the civilians, so he just found a place where civilians can enter and exit freely.

Anyway... the important thing is not the stage, but the actors.

For this "performance", he specially kept some important "actors"!

Today's second chapter, the double monthly ticket is still continuing. Is there anyone who hasn't voted for the guaranteed monthly ticket?
