A light rain was falling.

As the cold moon approaches, this kind of rain is most likely to bring a chill to the bone, and even the most industrious farmer will not choose to work at this time, because it is likely to lead to colds and even more serious injuries.

However, in the Commonwealth of Lodean, the largest city of Maika, the atmosphere today is extraordinary.

Near the muddy and dirty city gates, which had been cleaned up in the past, there were crowds of people, and everywhere you could see richly dressed women and nobles with serious faces, and servants waiting for them, one after another colorful umbrellas on their heads, like small flowers.

The pedestrians and farmers entering the city were driven away by heavily armed guards before they could get closer, attracting a burst of attention and discussion.

"My God, the entire nobility of Maika City is here, could it be that His Majesty is here?"

Several donkey carts were also driven aside, and the businessmen who were considered to be well-informed were talking about it, and a man who had just returned from the field looked at it intently, and immediately let out an exclamation, which attracted a burst of ridicule from the side.

"Don't you see, don't you see the lord standing in the middle? that's Count Karl, the king's court minister!"

"His Majesty has arrived two days earlier, in the city of Maika!"

The businessman who knew the inside story was triumphant, causing a burst of amazement, even if they had been traveling south and north for so long, but this kind of battle was also the first time to see it.

"So who are so many nobles waiting for?"

"There's been no news of any other kings and princes visiting lately!"

His eyes fell on the merchant who had revealed the information, and the latter's face froze, how could he know this, but he still forced himself to speak.

"You'll know later, it must be an amazing big shot!"

......

The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Near the city gate, many nobles have been standing for almost an hour, even if there is a kettle to warm their hands, but under the erosion of the cold, many beautifully dressed women and young ladies have begun to stomp their feet lightly regardless of their image, and whispering has never stopped.

"What is the origin of this new earl?"

"I heard that he is an amazing big man!"

The two aristocratic women whose faces were a little blue from the cold talked softly, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet regardless of their image, their expressions were not good-looking, they stood on the periphery of the crowd, they were just some small nobles, and their identities were the most embarrassing.

If you want to say it, it will only play the role of some green leaves, and it will not be looked at, but if you don't come, you will definitely be hated, otherwise it will be so pleasant to bake the fireplace at home on a cold day.

"But we are just cold, unlike some people, I am afraid that we are cold from the bottom of our hearts. ”

A woman laughed gloatingly, and her eyes fell on the people in the middle, among them, there were men and women, all of whom had extraordinary temperaments, but now their faces were as ugly as their dead mothers.

"Hehe, it's not your own, you have to give it back to someone else after all. ”

The other woman also chuckled under her breath, the chill on her body seemed to dissipate a little.

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, from the road ahead, a galloping knight approached at a galloping horse, shouting loudly.

The discussion suddenly stopped, and then many nobles lined up neatly at the door according to their status, and then the thick and melodious music also suddenly sounded.

Accompanied by the sound of music, from the front of the road, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and two columns of knights wearing black armor and even the war horses under their crotch were covered by armor, appeared in front of everyone.

But no matter how human or centaur it is, what appears in their eyes is not a normal divine light, but a piece of scarlet, which makes people feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts just by looking at it.

"These, what are these?"

"Is it ......?"

The nobles in front of the city gate were all shocked, and some of those standing in front couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if they were about to flee at any time.

"Be quiet!"

The King's envoy, Count Karl, swallowed and then scolded all around.

Prosperous... Prosperous...

The sound of heavy footsteps gradually came, and the two teams of black-armored knights silently lined up on both sides, and then revealed a huge carriage behind them, and the carriage was pulled by two monsters with scales all over their bodies, and their heads and tails were nearly ten meters long, with sharp teeth, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Wurm, you actually use Wurm to pull the car!"

A nobleman exclaimed, and immediately reacted, covering his mouth with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

You know, it's a wurm, although it's not a real dragon, but it's also an extremely powerful demonic beast, and if you put it on the battlefield, it's a terrifying killing machine, but now it's being used as a tool to pull a cart?

The stinking snort overflowed, and the two wurms stopped with a bang, looking at everyone, and the atmosphere became extremely silent for a while, only the sound of raindrops falling and the wind whistling and blowing by.

After about half a minute, the Count Karl, the king's envoy, summoned up his courage and walked towards the carriage, shouting loudly.

"His Majesty has sent me to meet you, honorable Earl Green!"

"In Maika City, a grand banquet has been prepared for you, and the entire Principality of Lodean welcomes you!"

Under the pressure of the powerful momentum, Count Karl involuntarily used honorifics, cautiously walked past the wulong, and saw the door on the side of the carriage creak and be gently pushed open.

Horn came out expressionlessly, still holding Green in his hand, looking at everyone, there seemed to be an invisible barrier above their heads, separating the rain, and got out of the carriage, nodding slightly.

"Lead the way. ”

Smack... Smack...

The dark Silent Knight, following behind the nobles, guarded by Horn and Green, came all the way to the center of the city, where a bald old man wearing a crown was already waiting at the door, surrounded by many nobles.

Horn pulled Green up the steps step by step, and saw the king greet him with a smile: "Welcome to the Duchy of Lodean, my earl, you will receive the warmest welcome and hospitality......"

However, his words suddenly froze, because behind Horn, two teams of black-armored knights also dismounted and followed him, their armor rubbing against him with a cold clang.

"Bold!"

A nobleman suddenly jumped out from behind the king, pointed at Horn as if he was about to say something, but was lightly pointed by Horn, and immediately stood in place like a statue, stammering but unable to move, and his eyes were terrified.

"Your Majesty, this is Grimm, son of Keith, your new earl, and I hope you have not forgotten the promise you have made, and you will keep it by it. ”

Horn flicked his sleeves, his gaze crossed everyone, his body straightened, and he said "Your new earl" in a tone that was almost like talking about your new king.

The king's expression froze visibly, and then the emotions of fear and anger flashed in his eyes, and after meeting Horn's indifferent eyes, they disappeared at an even faster speed.

"Yes, my lord, we will keep our promise. ”

In front of all the nobles, the king slowly bowed down to Horn and the Green he was holding.
