More than a dozen strong soldiers worked together to turn the huge winch, slowly lowering the heavy iron oak suspension bridge.
When the suspension bridge landed, a cavalry squad crossed the ten-meter-wide moat from above to the outside of the city, and formed a formation.
The armor on their bodies was bright and bright, the spears in their hands gleamed, and each of them held their heads high, full of energy, and marched in an orderly manner. It looked like a well-trained guard of honor.
Afterwards, several well-dressed nobles walked out of the city and stood in front of the guard of honor.
The leader is a young man with blond hair, blue eyes, handsome appearance, and a gentle smile on his face. From the style of the noble dress he wears, it can be seen that this man is the lord of Huayu City—
Earl Morrison.
The young earl looked at the cavalry army faintly visible in the distance, and couldn't help asking his father who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him:
"Father, why do you think Earl Angelet came to Huayu City? It stands to reason that Huayu City is not the only way to return to Winter City from the East."
Franco in the wheelchair didn't immediately answer his son's question, but instead asked:
"Why do you think Earl Angelet came to Huayu City?"
Earl Morrison thought for a moment and said:
"Could it be that you came to visit Nina?"
Hearing this, a gentle and beautiful woman standing beside Earl Morrison smiled and said:
"I'm not familiar with Earl Angelet, so he probably came to visit me."
Earl Morrison took his wife's hand and said, "Why not? After all, you are the cousin of the Duke of St. Hilde, and when we got married, Earl Angelet happened to be unable to do so because of the half-elven kingdom and the Eastern Border. Participating, returning to the northern border at this time, it is not surprising to send late congratulations along the way."
Franco glanced at his innocent son and sighed in his heart.
How could Earl Angelet, who is now well-known and well-known, come to make up for the blessing because he missed the wedding of a noble daughter from the St. Hilde family
Although they are both earls, the titles of Earl Morrison and Earl Angelet are completely different. One is based on the shadow of their ancestors, while the other is the glory of their own real swords and guns.
Not to mention the power actually controlled and the prestige in the Glorious Empire, the two are no longer on the same level.
With years of political sense, Franco had already noticed that Count Angelet's visit was unusual.
Reminiscent of the various rumors about the Bailu City Rebellion that came back from the East, Franco's ominous premonition grew stronger.
It's just that he couldn't express this premonition to others.
Moreover, even if it is said, it will not help.
Earl Angelet led the Blood Cavalry Army to Huayu City. Would the Morrison family dare to reject them
blah blah—
The sound of hooves getting closer and closer.
Even though the blood cavalry army had already started to slow down a long way from Huayu City, the chilling aura that came to their faces still made the members of the Morrison family who greeted them outside the city tremble.
This is the pride of the North - the Blood Cavalry Army!
Earl Morrison looked at the army of cavalry slowly approaching, and couldn't help feeling envious. It would be great if the Morrison family could also have such a cavalry...
Seeing a cavalry squad coming out of the army formation, Earl Morrison hurried up to meet him, with the most sincere smile on his face, and said loudly:
"Count Angelet, welcome to Huayu City again!"
"Earl Morrison, I'm going to disturb you again, I hope I haven't caused you too much trouble."
"Of course not, you will always be the most welcome guest of the Morrison family!"
Colin reined in his horse, his eyes swept over the Morrison family members who came to greet them, and finally settled on Nina who was wearing the Countess dress.
He showed a gentle smile and said, "Madam Nina, I'm sorry for missing your wedding with Earl Morrison. However, I still prepared a wedding gift, I hope you like it."
"Lord Count Angelet, you are too polite." Nina quickly took a long gift box from Colin, opened it and found a slender knight sword.
Colin smiled and explained: "I know you are also a knight. This is the sword of Lady Beatrice, the sister of the Duke of St. Pros. I think it suits you very well."
Nina nodded repeatedly and said, "I've heard some stories about Lady Beatrice. She is an outstanding and brave knight. I like this gift very much. Thank you, Count Angelet!"
Earl Morrison also smiled and thanked Colin, and then he spotted a bearded knight following Colin. The badge on the armor obviously did not belong to any family in the north.
In doubt, I heard the father behind me say:
"Earl Angelet, the person next to you should be the Earl of Hall in the East Territory, right?"
"Yes." Colin nodded.
Earl Hall stepped forward and saluted Earl Morrison and others.
After exchanging greetings, Colin, surrounded by the Morrison family, entered Huayu City.
Both sides of the road in the city were already full of people who came to greet him. After seeing Colin's figure, warm cheers burst out immediately, and even young, beautiful and bold girls threw flowers at Colin.
This kind of treatment was definitely not there when Colin came last time.
In fact, this is not surprising, after all, Colin's prestige in the hearts of the people in the north is no longer what it used to be.
There has been a long-standing feud between the northern border and the eastern border, but due to the existence of the Nushui River and the restraint of trolls on the ice field in the sky, the army of the northern border has not been able to enter the eastern border for more than three hundred years.
However, with only 20,000 blood cavalry troops, Ke Lin turned Nuo Da's eastern border upside down, and even beheaded the Duke of St. Pross on the battlefield. Such an achievement is worthy of the name of the guardian of the northern border.
Colin has naturally become an idol and hero in the minds of all northerners.
The Morrison family's guards tried their best to force a passage through the overly enthusiastic crowd. For the first time, they discovered that the distance from the gate of the city to the Fort of Swallow Butterfly was so long.
Earl Morrison looked at everything in front of him, and the envy in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Colin rode on a horse, with an elegant smile on his face, waved to the crowd, and at the same time, he quickly caught the thrown flowers one by one, and then threw them to the crowd again, regardless of the fact that doing so would cause many people to throw flowers. The girl was heartbroken.
"Earl Hall, do you like this city?" Colin suddenly asked Earl Hall beside him.
Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why Colin asked such a question, but he still nodded and said, "Of course I like it. This is a beautiful city, and it's also a welcoming city."
Colin laughed and said with deep meaning:
"As long as you like it."
