The capital of the Orc Empire was called the Great Golden Tent. A long, long time ago, the Orcs were still a nomadic society. They lived in tents, following water and grass. At that time, all the leaders of the tribes loved to use golden tents to symbolize their power and status.
Later, the Orcs unified after many years of war. After unification, they made relevant regulations about the color and decoration of the tents.
According to the regulations, only one pure gold tent was allowed to exist in the entire Orc Empire, and it belonged to the Orc Emperor. The Prince had a tent with a silver roof and golden edges. The Duke had a tent with a silver roof and golden edges. The Marquis had a tent with a silver roof and golden edges. The Count had a tent with a silver roof and silver edges with golden tassels hanging at the end. The Viscount had a pure silver roof and a Baron had a silver totem.
As for those below the rank of Baron, they were not even nobles, so they were not qualified to talk about etiquette!
As time passed, the Orc Emperor no longer lived in tents. He settled on a low hill in the middle of the prairie and built a city there, continuing to use the name of the Golden Tent.
This city was often ridiculed because it did not even have a city wall.
But why did they need a city wall? People should be thankful that the Orcs did not attack others. Who dared to provoke them?
Monsters? Beasts? The Orc patrols were all over the city. The furthest one was even a hundred miles away. What kind of beasts or monsters could pass through the defense line of countless patrols and break into the city to wreak havoc?
The Great Golden Tent did not have a stone city wall, but it was built with countless patrols.
The most eye-catching thing in the city was the tall building standing on the high platform in the middle of the low hill.
The golden roof was like a tent. It was obviously the Emperor's palace.
Around the palace, rows of houses were arranged in rows, extending all the way down the slope.
There was a detail here. The residences of the Emperor and the nobles were not built directly on the ground. Instead, they were built on a high platform on the ground and then built on top of it. Commoners were not allowed to build such houses. Even the rich merchants could only build their houses on flat ground as long as they were not nobles.
The Orc Empire paid great attention to etiquette. The foundation of the houses was different according to the status. The number of levels of the high platform, the height of each level, and what decorative patterns could be used were all very particular.
Sui Xiong didn't think much of such things.
He felt that a truly powerful nation and people should not place too much emphasis on "etiquette". Of course, it was not to the extent that they would not pay attention to it, but they should not pay too much attention to it.
Instead of thinking about how to set rules for the various levels of subjects, it was better to think about how to win over the hearts of the people.
The country lay in people and resources, not in etiquette.
Therefore, the Republic of Northwest did not pay much attention to this. Of course, it was not that they did not pay attention to it at all, but in today's world, they were definitely the least particular about etiquette.
They did not have an "imperial garden," nor did they have an "imperial workshop," much less an "imperial style." Other than some necessary measures to ensure safety, there was no essential difference between the lifestyle of the officials of the Republic of Northwest and that of the civilians.
In the beginning, when Sui Xiong did this, some people advised him not to be so extreme and to respect the tradition. However, Sui Xiong rolled his eyes and asked lazily, "Tradition? I don't remember us jellyfish having any traditions … "
This was obviously a sophistry, but His Majesty the Void Mask was really a jellyfish. No one could ask a jellyfish to do things according to other people's rules.
The Orc Empire was obviously the kind of people who did things according to other people's rules, and they seemed to be obsessed. Sui Xiong walked on the street with his subordinates and saw a white flagstone road in the middle of the wide street, which could accommodate two people walking side by side. It extended from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
"This is the famous' Golden Tent Royal Road, 'right?" Steele looked at the white flagstone road curiously, but she did not foolishly walk over and touch it. "It is said that unless they have the permission of the Orc Emperor, even the nobles are not allowed to set foot on this road."
"That's right." Sui Xiong nodded. "If one foot steps on it, one foot will be chopped off. If two feet step on it, the head will be chopped off. There is no exception. "
"That's terrible! The Orc Emperor usually does not go out. What's wrong with letting others walk on this road? "
"This is to create a sense of authority and sanctity," Sui Xiong said. Sui Xiong said, "Things that are close at hand are as far away as the heavens and the earth, so that the people can clearly feel the difference in ranks between each other … This method is quite old-fashioned. It's just so-so."
"Eh? Old-fashioned? Is there any other country that has a royal road? "Steele asked curiously.
Sui Xiong smiled and did not explain.
He could not say that this method had been used on Earth for more than a thousand years and was not rare at all.
They walked on the wide street. There were independent houses on both sides of the street, but they did not see any shops.
In the city of the Great Golden Tent, the shops were concentrated on a block called the Merchant Square. Except for this block, no shops were allowed to open in other places. Violators would be killed.
The place that Sui Xiong was going to take his subordinates to was also the Merchant Square.
He had already studied the terrain of the Great Golden Tent. There were about three suitable places to build a guillotine in this city.
The first was the big square in front of the palace, which was big enough to accommodate a lot of spectators.
However, this square was not allowed without reason. Even the nobles were not allowed to enter this square without an official mission or the Emperor's summons. It would be useless even if he killed people there.
The second was the big square in front of the royal guards' camp. It was also big enough to accommodate a lot of spectators.
However, that square did not allow civilians to enter. The nobles were not restricted, but how many were there in total? Moreover, they felt sad for their own kind. Why would they come to watch the show?
So there was only one place left for him to choose, the big square in front of the Merchant Square.
This big square was the place where large-scale markets were held in the middle and end of every month. It was usually empty and useless. This time, it was used for activities.
In fact, it was much smaller than the other two squares. However, it was convenient for transportation. It was adjacent to the civilian residential area and did not restrict the access of civilians. It was really suitable.
Of course, with Sui Xiong's strength, no matter whether it was the square in front of the palace or the royal guards' camp, as long as he wanted, the Orc Empire could not stop him from calling civilians to watch the show. However, Sui Xiong would leave this place eventually. When that time came, the Orc Empire would probably settle the score with the civilians.
He did not want to cause trouble for the civilians, so he simply found a place where civilians could enter and leave freely.
Anyway … the stage was not the important thing, but the actors.
For this "performance", he had specially left some of the important "actors" behind!
