It was already three days later to arrive in Banda Acesgrad, the capital province of the Republic of Takilia, and it was thanks to the arrangement of the "thoughtful" Admiral Ragustevich, otherwise it was estimated that it would not have been possible to arrive so quickly.

This Admiral Ragustevich not only prepared two sturdy horses for Terry, but also thoughtfully opened a special pass, which made Terry a lot less troublesome along the way.

You must know that although there is no war in the Republic of Takilia now, there are at least dozens of large and small checkpoints along the way, but with the special pass issued by Admiral Ragustevich, Terry doesn't even have to wait in line for inspection, let alone anything difficult.

After entering Banda Aceh Sgrad, Terry soon inquired about the location of the Marshal's Mansion from the last military checkpoint, and did not bother to enter the city to rest, so he immediately mounted his fast horse again and galloped towards the Marshal's Mansion outside the city.

Banda Aceh is a large city located in the alluvial plain of Chiglia, so it is difficult to see any big peaks near the city, and Terry couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Marshal's Mansion on the top of a hillside.

If Banda Aceh Grad is a large city on the plains that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, then this marshal's palace perched on a hill can be said to be the most defensible area in the vicinity.

Standing at the gate of the fortress waiting for a briefing from the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion, Terry, bored, looked around the Marshal's Mansion.

Seeing the magnificent fortress building, watching the red flags fluttering on it, and seeing the faint slums on the outskirts of the city in the distance, Terry always felt as if something in his heart was shattered in an instant.

"Maybe the hierarchical system is the same in every country." Coming all the way, in order to hurry, he didn't observe the country carefully, but seeing this stark contrast at this moment, Terry's heart was really a little uncomfortable.

Five or six minutes later, when the sound of the fortress gate being opened drew Terry's attention back, a hearty voice came to Terry's ears.

"Haha, dear child, did that old boy from Oplar send you, he really didn't die?"

A black-haired old man who was not very tall, but very burly, walked out of the fortress quickly.

The old man was wearing an ordinary military uniform that had been washed a little whitish, but there were no epaulets on his shoulders. But the majesty of the long-held position on the face is not comparable to any epaulettes or badges.

However, Terry's attention is not these, but the appearance of the old man, this is a typical appearance of the old man of the Wasi clan, that appearance reminds Terry of his grandfather who is far away from home, after coming to the Imperial Army, Terry rarely meets his own people, so at this time, when he sees the old man, he immediately feels very kind.

"Salute, hello Marshal Shi, Lieutenant Terry of the Blue Banner Leather Order Army will report to you."

Although Terry was very excited in his heart, as a soldier, he still gave a standard military salute to Marshal Shi Yexuan first.

"Okay child, I'm very happy to see you, you are not afraid of hardships, you have come here thousands of miles to report, it is really hard, you don't have to be restrained, come in with me, I have a lot to ask you."

Marshal Shi Yexuan looked at a nephew who had returned from a long journey, took Terry's hand, looked at Terry kindly, and then led him into the fortress.

This is a stone fortress in the style of the last century in Bruxing, and the age of the fortress should be hundreds of years old, but it may be due to the lack of repair, and the giant fortress that looks magnificent from a distance looks a little dilapidated up close.

All kinds of mossy vines covered the walls of the entire fortress, and on the occasional exposed ancient bluestone, you can vaguely see a lot of bullet marks, from which it can be seen that this fortress has had fierce battles.

Along the way, when he saw the real situation of this huge marshal's mansion, Terry also felt a little ashamed of the feeling outside the fortress just now, because from the time the old marshal went out to greet him, except for a few guards and some officers, there was not a single servant here, which was impossible in the Blue Flag Empire.

In the Blue Banner Empire, not to mention a high-ranking and powerful minister like Marshal Shi Yexuan, even if it is a provincial governor or an ordinary nobleman's family, there are no hundreds of servants or servants who are embarrassed to let people come in and visit.

The road from the gate of the outer wall to the fortress is not very long, and it can be seen that this is deliberately done by the marshal, because Terry saw it when he went up the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, there should have been a high wall, but for some reason, it was blown up and only the ruins remained, and now seeing the situation of the marshal's mansion, Terry finally understood why the marshal did this, which was completely deliberate by the marshal in order to save expenses.

"Son, sit down, what do you drink?"

As soon as he entered the fort, before Terry could take out Major General Oprah's letterhead, Marshal Shi Yexuan asked him to sit down on the sofa first, and then turned around and went to the wine cabinet next to him to find a drink for Terry.

However, although the marshal asked like this, with the marshal's figure, Terry had already seen that the old and gorgeous wine cabinet was completely empty, only a simple bamboo hot water bottle, and a few ordinary bottles and cans. It looks like it should be a drink ingredient such as tea.

"Hehe, thank you, Your Excellency Marshal, I'll do it casually."

"Well, in fact, the old man doesn't have any good things here, seeing that you are also a descendant of the Wasi clan, how about it, get used to drinking tea, right? The old man planted these tea leaves with his own hands, and told you that there is a tea garden at the back of the fortress. ”

Marshal Shi Yexuan showed off his achievements like a child, grabbed a handful of black tea leaves from a clay pot, found an enamel cup, and brewed a cup of tea for Terry.

"Thank you, Marshal."

When Marshal Shi Yexuan brought the pot of tea to Terry's side, Terry, who was looking at the reception room, quickly stood up.

"Child, they all said that you don't have to be so restrained, just treat me as the elder of your family, how can we be considered clansmen, this is rare outside."

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, are you the first person I have ever seen since I joined the army?"

Marshal Shi Yexuan's intimacy also made Terry relax a lot, and at the same time, looking at the environment of this reception room just now also made Terry understand and admire this old marshal of the same clan a little more.

"Oh, sit down, son, by the way, where is your hometown?"

Marshal Shi Yexuan sat down beside Terry very casually, picked up a kettle on the coffee table next to him and opened it, regardless of the fact that the tea inside was already cold, he took a sip like this, and then asked.

"My hometown is from the province of Lane, but it is said that my ancestors migrated from the province of Lunan."

Terry didn't hide anything from the marshal's question, and answered truthfully.

"What, your ancestors are also from Lunan Province. Do you have a name for the Wasi clan?"

Hearing Terry talk about his hometown, Marshal Shi Yexuan suddenly put down the enamel teacup in his hand and asked in surprise.
