"Chapter 239: Triumphant Return to the Alliance (Part II)"
I have to say that I underestimated the enthusiasm of the people of the Union, and also underestimated my place in the hearts of these people of the Union. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Their feelings for me have now changed from love to some fanatical worship, this is our great victory and the stimulation of the War Saint, and the influence of the title of [Lord of the Free Cities Alliance], now they have begun to regard me as the Free Cities Alliance, and some people even think that I should be the king and establish a new country, and they are willing to fully support me.
Of course, I wouldn't do that, at least I would now, but I'm ready to return to the Alliance and receive cheers from the people of the Alliance.
Our army reached the outside of the city of Grandel, and Grandel immediately opened the gates, and the flag of the League of Free Cities fluttered in the air at the head of the city, and the soldiers of Grandel also stood at the head of the city and saluted us, wearing the armor we provided, holding the weapons we provided, saluting us with tribal etiquette, or shouting victory slogans with our names on them, waving their arms constantly, and their faces flushed with excitement as if they had drunk wine.
This is the long-pent-up anger and pressure has been released, for ten consecutive years, the Free Cities Alliance has been under huge pressure from the kingdom, and Grandel has always been on the front line as the border with the kingdom, and is facing the threat of the kingdom all the time, so Grandel's army is more effective than the other two cities, which is really forced out by the kingdom. And today, the kingdom's army was finally defeated in the hands of the alliance, although they didn't do it themselves, but when they thought that Lord Li Xiaopan, who represented the Free Cities Alliance, defeated the kingdom and expanded the territory of the alliance, this was unprecedented in the history of the alliance, so they also felt proud and very happy and satisfied.
I sat on my horse and entered the city with my troops, and although the streets were not full of people, as soon as they saw our troops coming, passers-by and those who had already prepared to meet us would praise us and throw flowers at us. And some of the vendors and shopkeepers also gave us something, not much value, but more or less a piece of heart, so we accepted the gift, but also paid for it.
The whole city of Grandel seems to be satisfied and excited about our victory, perhaps because they have been under pressure from the kingdom for a long time, so they are very happy about the great event of defeating the kingdom. It is said that when Fang Zi brought back the news of the victory, Grandel began to revel, from the consuls to the homeless, and even gave a special fund to distribute free food and wine to the citizens, and people would always be very satisfied when they met: "Man, you know, we don't have to worry about the kingdom in the future, we are now the hinterland of the Free Cities Alliance!" ā
I understand their feelings, this sense of victory is really satisfying, although I have only been threatened by the kingdom for a few months, the feeling of oppression and the satisfaction of breaking free from oppression is indescribable, very comfortable.
We left Grandel and headed for the Tibetan Soldier City. However, because I had to show off my victory after the victory, I also had the idea of putting on a show, not to go back to the Tibetan Soldier City directly, but to go around Amur and Mondona first to see the reaction of the people there, and then return to the Tibetan Soldier City comfortably and start a comfortable little life.
We spent three more days on the road, but we also spared the three cities of the Free Cities Alliance. Unlike the inevitable passage from Grandel, Amur and Mondona understood my impure little motives, and naturally made not very adequate preparations to meet me. Rock Lauren left the city a kilometre to meet me, and praised our victory along the way, and in his opinion, we could say that we had severed one of Salondron's arms in this sortie, and they probably didn't think anything bad about us until that arm grew back.
But Locke Lauren also told me another thing, and that was that I wasn't as much of a crowd as I was, because smart people could easily see what it meant, and what I wanted to show off. Locke Lauren told me directly that even if we saved the Amur and rebuilt it, there are still many people in the city who are dissatisfied with us (mainly because of the division of the three Amur teams), and when I return triumphantly, they will naturally make something for me and create something very unfavorable to us, which will not benefit our rule. And if Amur is still like this, not to mention Mondo, the magnates who are dissatisfied with our excessively strict power collection have secretly been causing trouble for us, and only because we are too strong to attach themselves to us. This victory was a good opportunity, but the passage of the army was a risky issue, with both advantages and disadvantages, so Locke Lauren suggested that I use a cheerful procession to quickly pass through the city, so that it would not affect people's lives, nor would people seize the opportunity to cause trouble, and it would also be able to promote our reputation.
Rock Lauren said it well, and I took his advice. But in fact, I understand that Locke Lauren is also worried about the various problems caused by the stay in the city of the army, for Amur, who has just passed the war and has relatively empty reserves, one more day of my army will have to keep Locke Lauren busy for ten days less, so we also cooperated with Locke Lauren's idea, and marched through the entire Amur City like a procession, and threw a lot of copper coins and distributed a lot of food in the city, which did win me a better reputation.
In Mondona, the ceremony to welcome us was huge, and the city officials even prepared performances, banquets, and a wonderful speech. Although I wanted to continue through Mondon as fast as Rock Lauren had planned, such a good celebration was rare, so I stayed at Mondo's day for the celebratory dinner and sent more people on patrol. As we expected, we caught a dozen thieves, drunkards, and mercenaries hired by rich men that night.
I had a great time at the dinner, so I left the people who were dissatisfied with me to the officials in the city to deal with them themselves. With our barbarians watching in court, I am sure that the punishment for these people will not be light. However, I did not continue to pay attention to the trial and verdict of the court, and after these troublesome matters were resolved, I continued to move forward with the troops that still had a strong sense of victory, and headed in the direction of the Tibetan Fortress.
On this winter white ground, a large army walks through it, and it is really a beautiful sight to think about.
