If it weren't for the welcome ceremony, I would have thought you were going to go to war with us!"

Marquis Carlos was shocked by the shelling just now, and only then did he react and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Hahahaha! This is our latest welcome ceremony here, this cannon sounds shocking, how suitable for such a scene!"

Faced with the yin and yang weirdness of the Marquis of Carlos, Murphy laughed in return, which made the nobles lose a lot of face.

"Okay, now please enter the city! I have prepared a reception banquet in the city, and I am waiting for you to enter the city!" Murphy smiled and beckoned to the nobles.

The nobles, though unhappy with the loud noise, endured it when they heard Prince Murphy say that it was part of the welcoming ceremony.

However, although most of the nobles were not satisfied with this different kind of welcome ceremony, there were still some who liked it.

"Sister Rowling!Sister Rowling!What was that loud bang just now? I feel the earth tremble!" Angel opened the window to look out, only to see a burst of smoke from the other side of Crescent City.

"I'm not omniscient!" Rowling glanced at her, "but I think it may be inseparable from the Fourth Prince, it sounds a bit like the 'Screaming Technique' in the magic of the Order system, it's just a welcome ceremony, there is no need to use such magic, right? Maybe he wants to give the nobles a shock, and this loud noise may be the beginning of his confrontation with the nobles." ”

"It's not so troublesome, it's just a few loud bangs!" a question mark slowly popped into Angel's head, questioning Rowling's ability to comprehend.

"Although it seems to be a few loud noises, but we have to look at the essence of the matter on the surface, there is a fundamental conflict of interest between Murphy and these nobles in our team, it can be said that if he shows the slightest weakness, these nobles will rush up to steal his interests, and even ask him to spit out a little more. The northern realm is located in the severe cold, resources are relatively scarce, and the rules of conduct of the nobles are very different from those in other places, and the nobles of the royal capital cannot be generalized, and the way of communication between the nobles of the royal capital cannot be used to study the way of the nobles in the north. Rowling shook her head and said to Rowling seriously.

"Oooh!" said Angel, nodding her head as if she didn't understand.

"Forget it, you don't necessarily understand, let's see! Maybe it will be more and more exciting in the future!" Rowling chuckled, looking forward to the follow-up development.

After the shock of that burst of artillery bombardment, the Combine regrouped and moved forward again.

"This prince is really a bit hateful!"

"yes! I can't make a fool of myself. ”

"We have to find a way to counter back, otherwise we will become more and more passive in the future! ”

"What are you afraid of? We have 100,000 troops! A whole 100,000! This is not comparable to those rebels! All of them are elite, not what the prince can stop. ”

"Now that you've said the word prince, don't you know that it's the royal family standing behind him? What's the use of relying only on the army to deter you? It's really brainless. ”

"What are you talking about, dare you scold me?"

"What are you scolding for?!"

"Don't make any noise! What about the welcome! Do you want others to see the joke? What we have to do now unite with the Duke of Canas and the prince who is going to be faced. You're going to quarrel and fight, and we're going to talk about it after the negotiations are over!"

The sudden dispute between the two marquis attracted a lot of attention, but it was quickly resolved by the other marquises, who at least on the surface, were still monolithic.

Murphy also noticed a quarrel between nobles that suddenly started and calmed down, and sneered softly at the position where everyone was back, he could probably guess what was going on.

It's nothing more than struggling with whether to let yourself enter the market and get a piece of the pie.

And if you want to keep your interests completely in front of these wolf-like nobles, you must come up with the strength to match.

From this point of view, the strength of the welcome ceremony is not enough, and it must be strengthened!

Led by Murphy and accompanied by the nobles, they marched for about five minutes before arriving at the foot of Crescent City.

"Ceremony to enter the city!"

Seeing Murphy leading the team back, Simon, who was standing at the gate of the city, let out a loud shout, and the official ceremony of entering the city began.

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

Twenty-four salutes were lined up at the foot of the city walls, on both sides of the main road, at an angle of forty-five degrees to the sky, with two artillerymen behind them, and a group of infantry was standing neatly at the city gate, with a gun on their backs, dressed in a ceremonial dress, looking polite.

The walls were covered with colorful flags and slogans of welcome, which finally gave the nobles a familiar feeling.

With Simon's order, forty-eight artillerymen began to operate, and the deputy gunner loaded the special empty cartridges into the salute, and then the main gunner fired the cannon, sending the shells into the sky and exploding.

This salute was also rushed out in a hurry, and after getting Murphy's design drawings, the arsenal stepped up its manufacturing speed, and it only took three days to build these twenty-four salutes!

And don't underestimate this salute, as long as it is loaded with the right shells, it still has the effect of a normal cannon, but the caliber is small, and the range is closer, and the sound is huge when fired, compared with the silent 152 cannon, the army prefers the latter, but the former can be used not to solve the problem of insufficient firepower from the various battalion and company headquarters, so after the test firing, the military manager Baron Charles rushed to the arsenal to place an order.

The huge cannon roared, and the cannon barrels under the city walls constantly emitted smoke, and the nobles, after experiencing the panic caused by a shelling, also understood that this thing was not lethal, so they walked forward boldly and confidently, and the soldiers of the Combine Army, who did not know the situation behind, had a riot at first, but it was quickly quelled by the various grassroots managers, and the riot disappeared.

"Gun salute!" When the nobles reached the city gate, Simon suddenly shouted again, which frightened people.

The soldiers lined up on both sides raised their guns in unison, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the sky.

"Put!"

"Bang ......"

"Put it again!"

"Bang ......"

Accompanied by Simon's command, the soldiers of the "Leviathan" on both sides fired two guns, and the uniform movements made the well-informed nobles can't help but look sideways.

"This soldier is very strong at first glance!

"And everyone has a bad aura on their bodies, and they have definitely seen blood!"

"It occurred to me that if all the prince's soldiers were like this, perhaps it would be possible to defeat the rebels. ”
