The sun was setting in the west, and the lonely sky could already see the two moons, one large and one small.

An army stretched for more than a dozen kilometers along the main road to the north in the direction of the border, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the steel armor of the soldiers shone brightly, forming a golden ribbon of light.

This team was the coalition of nobles who had gone to Remlos, led by a dozen or so marquises who had joined together to fight for the territory of Kannas, and sent out almost all their armies to get a larger piece of bread.

Of course, the scene also has to be passable, and their nominal reason for sending troops is to support the Harlan family in Remlos Fort and Crescent City, so naturally they have to come here to report first, and if the local forces are weak, they can even swallow the land of Crescent City by the way.

As for the fourth prince, we didn't kill him, we didn't rob him, at most we took a little bit of his land, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and after weighing the pros and cons on the royal capital, we will condemn what we have done at most.

Of course, since the prince defeated the rebels, it proved that he had a certain strength, and as long as he was obedient and honestly stayed in his territory, he could still get a certain benefit.

"There is Crescent Moon City ahead, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will welcome me!"

At the front of the line, a marquis chuckled and said in a joking tone.

"Hahaha, what else can it be? Has our welcoming ceremony changed over the millennia? Flowers, cheers from the commoners, reception feasts, I hope that prince can come up with some new tricks, after all, we have all seen flowers and other things for more than a hundred years, and there is nothing new!" the other marquis continued along the topic.

"What's new?what do you think is more innovative to welcome?How about an arquebus? It's a 'specialty' of Remlos Castle, isn't it a novelty to welcome with it?" said another marquis, too, quipping.

"Come on, welcome with an arquebus, why don't you say welcome with buckshot? How can you say that he is also a prince, and we still have to give face to us!"

"Yes, his ability to crush the menacing rebels shows that he has some strength, and we should not provoke him, there is no point in doing so. ”

Just when the first few marquis were joking, different voices came from behind.

"Strength is not legendary, strength is to be seen with your own eyes. A few months ago, when facing the invasion of the Thebes, that prince was defeated and killed, and even captured himself, if it wasn't for the powerful necromancer, I am afraid that he would have been imprisoned in the dungeon of King's Landing by now. It's only been a few months? I don't believe he was able to defeat tens of thousands of rebels on his own. The first marquis said.

"The Marquis Carlos of our bureau is right, he must have the strength to do it, otherwise he is destined to not be able to stay in this northern border. And it is impossible to develop the strength to defeat the rebels in a few months. ”

"I suspect that there are other external forces intervening, or the rebels themselves have internal problems, and then Remlos Fort sent troops to attack, and the rebels are in chaos As for the captured Haraus, it is very likely that he found a top bag at random, this is not the first time that everyone has done this kind of thing, just fooling ordinary people, and they can't fool me and wait. ”

"If that's the case, we can't hand over Crescent City to him, and we have to take it back, including the millions of people he has obtained, if we really give Crescent City to him, judging from the strategic location of Crescent City, he will control the most important trade checkpoint along the entire northern border, and it will be difficult to develop!"

"I agree, and the most important thing is that the royal family and the royal capital have been thinking about weakening the strength of our nobles, and want to concentrate all the power of the whole country in the royal capital, maybe this fourth prince is a nail buried in the north, just like the big prince who is now staying in the south, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch? If the royal family is in trouble at that time, this fourth prince will definitely lead the army to force each other, and force us to submit one by one!"

Among the dozen or so marquises, both radical and conservative, they all have their own interpretations of Murphy's occupation of Crescent City.

However, they finally came to a consensus, that is, to see and decide before deciding, maybe there will be other changes at that time? Perhaps, just like the Remlos Castle propaganda to the outside world, is it really the rebels who were defeated by their own strength? No one can say for sure, everything must be based on facts.

Just as the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the walls of Crescent City appeared in everyone's field of vision, and at most a few kilometers away, they would reach the destination of the trip.

"Hurry up! We're almost there!" Marquis Carlos, who was at the forefront, beckoned to the back, and the speed of the march increased again, and it would not be a few dozen minutes before the city was reached.

"Look, is that Prince Murphy?" said a marquis, pointing to the greeting procession below the city in the distance.

"What do you say, what are the big barrels placed on both sides of them for?" Suddenly, a nobleman was curious about the two rows of cannon barrels lined up under the city.

"Maybe it's for water, after all, we've come from afar, and they're always going to hand over water and food, which is the custom here in Auckland, and maybe it's custom. Carlos squinted and watched, then said.

"I don't think so, and the arquebuses in the hands of those soldiers are not the same as the arquebuses on the market today, which seem to look better. Another marquis said.

"Let's leave that alone, let's go over and talk about it first. ”

The gallows on both sides of the road, as well as the corpses and heads hanging from them, had been emptied and now returned to their former appearance, with colorful streamers hanging on them, indicating the welcome to the noble coalition.

These are the credit of Simon and Ford, they coordinated the overall situation, spent a week, mobilized more than 30,000 people to help carry the corpses, the corpses all over the city piled up, in order to prevent the corpses from breeding the plague, incinerated overnight, and buried at the foot of Mount Ersor, and planned to erect a monument there at that time to pay tribute to the ordinary people who died in this counterinsurgency.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several loud noises came from the direction of Crescent City, startling the war horses and neighing continuously, and several knights made a big fool of themselves and were lifted down by their own war horses.

"What sound?!"

The nobles were panicked, did the fourth prince dare to strike first?

"Welcome nobles to our domain!"

Murphy rode his horse, smiling his trademark face, and walked forward with a group of knights, chanting words of welcome.
