After a short pause, the procession of dragon chariots deviated from its original route and headed south.

"This... Is there something going on?" Haruka noticed something strange and couldn't help but ask the non-commissioned officer beside him.

"It's like this, Lord Haruka, it seems that I have met a person from the Chamber of Commerce in front, and His Majesty the King has accepted the invitation from the other side, and now I will take the opportunity to go to Argos, the capital of the Republic of Karnas. ”

"Argos, is that where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is located?"

"Yes, in gratitude to the King's army for retaking most of Karnas, it seems that the other side wants to entertain the soldiers who are fighting. ”

"In the current situation, do you have time to make a detour to another place? Shouldn't we give priority to returning home and reorganizing the army?"

"I'm afraid there are also many political factors in this, which is why Your Majesty made such a decision. ”

"That's right. Haruka got up and walked into the room of the dragon cart, where Iskar was lying quietly on the sickbed, as if he were asleep......

After about two hours of marching, the kingdom army can already see the majestic Argos City, due to the fierce resistance of the Karnas army, the demon army has never been able to invade the five kilometers where Argos City is located, so the land around the city is still full of life, dense forests and open grasslands have returned to the vision of the soldiers, completely sweeping away the previous desolate and dilapidated feeling.

Argos, a commercial metropolis of towering buildings, can be seen from afar in its exuberant and modern architectural style. One of the most striking buildings is naturally much taller than the others, and it stands out as if it were a flock of chickens.

"This is the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? Looking at the huge city in front of me from afar, I couldn't help but think of the assassination of Natalie's father before.

"Is Haruka-sama coming here for the first time?" asked the non-commissioned officer on the side.

"That's right, I've been to the neighborhood by chance, but I've never been to Argos. ”

"Yes, then you should take a good look at this city, after all, this is the most commercially developed city in the entire continent, both in terms of population density and city size. ”

"Yes, as you say, even Wells, the empire's most prosperous commercial city, is a little inferior to it. ”

While the two were talking, the entire army had arrived at the outermost checkpoint of the city. In front of the huge city gate, a large number of heavily armed soldiers of the Republic lined up on both sides of the road, and at the same time, a trumpet band appeared on the tower, and it can be seen that the other side has also made a lot of preparations to meet the king's army.

With the melodious sound of the trumpet, the entire army entered the city of Argos. Walking on the city's widest main road, flanked by cheering people, the army in front of them represented the last hope of humanity, the only force that could stand up to the demons.

Haruka, who had experienced the Empire's welcome ceremony, was accustomed to such a scene, and his concern at this time was how to face the current president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, that is, Cronin, the mastermind behind colluding with Nightmares to plot an attack on the Academy and kidnap Natalie. If you can avoid contact with him, that's the best, if you really can't avoid it, then the current self is completely worthy of the other party, after all, he has the blessing of the title of Black Sword Ji, and as a hero, the other party can't do anything to himself. Thinking so, he was suddenly glad that Natalie didn't come with him, otherwise he would have been murderous when they met. But on second thought, maybe Natalie had foreseen that she would meet the other party here, and deliberately chose to return to the empire, which is more likely.

The dragon chariot troop stopped in front of the tower of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, interrupting Haruka's thoughts as well.

"As a VIP, the Chamber of Commerce has arranged a special room for Haruka-sama, please get out of the car and follow the guide inside. The non-commissioned officer of the dragon car reminded.

"Where's Iska?"

"The other party already knows about Princess Iska's situation, and will arrange the best room for her to be accompanied by a healing magician. ”

"Iska is very weak right now, and if the demons send assassins, she won't be able to resist at all, so I want to stay by her side. Haruka emphasized.

"Understood, I'm going to communicate with the people in the Chamber of Commerce, please wait. The non-commissioned officer got out of the dragon car, had a brief communication with the waiter who came to receive the chamber of commerce, and then returned to the dragon car.

"The other party accepted your offer and will arrange your room next to Princess Iskar's room, so that if there is an emergency, you can feel it immediately. ”

"Okay, thanks. Haruka nodded. Then the people of the Chamber of Commerce carefully carried Iska and the sickbed where she was sleeping off the dragon cart, and Haruka followed.

"Your Majesty, please go here. Aria was in front for King Salz while his eyes were drawn to Haruka and Iscar behind the convoy.

"We're only here for one night, and we're going to leave early tomorrow morning. Grand Duke Sainz stressed to Aria again.

"Understood, we have prepared a grand dinner for Your Majesty and all the nobles, please enjoy the ...... tonight for all the heroes" Aria bowed and opened the way for the king with his hands, the red carpet stretched from the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce Tower to their feet, and the king and other nobles stepped on the red carpet and slowly walked into the building......
