It's still those journeys, it's still those times, the old and the new, only the lords are in power, it's still the same. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

We walked for more than a day, and although we were anxious, we were not in such a hurry. We camped last night in a village that we often passed by, which was almost empty when the bandits were infested, but now that the people have returned to the village, and by the holy water trade, and the occasional passing merchant has brought extra income to the village, the village has now become our supporter and a resting place between us and the town of Bieber. The villagers welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a lot of food that they didn't have enough to offer, which I didn't accept, but I was very happy.

I found out that fences and outposts had been erected in the village, and that our militia and goblins were stationed. The village chief told me that it was a credit to them that they had stabilized the area and helped the villagers defend their homes in my absence. In turn, our sentinels have entered the village and turned it into our stronghold.

I applaud the idea of Philip Merlon, because it worked very well, not only stabilizing our control area, but also bringing the villages and towns under the control of the alliance little by little. We walked all the way, with our sentinels and fighters along the way, as well as some village guards with the weapons and armor we were supporting, and the villages along the way became our strongholds, and during the month I was away, I found that our zone of control had grown even larger.

It took us more than a day to get to the town of Babra, which was more prosperous than it was a month ago, with a higher and stronger perimeter wall and more guards. Philip told me that after Poppy took over the defense of Babra, he built up the walls, tidied up the tunnels, and stepped up the training of Babra's original troops, gave them the weapons and armor we had built, and unified them into our sequence to form the "Babra City Defense Brigade", so that on the basis of the previous one, we have another army with decent strength.

Moreover, Poppy and Alberin also reorganized the ten villages of Babula, which were originally scattered and chaotic, gathered many people into the town, and sent small teams of systematic soldiers to these villages respectively, repaired the original fortifications, and made some changes to the original management, and mastered these villages on the basis of strengthening the defense. Now that the former chieftains of these villages have expressed their loyalty to us, the chaotic town of Babula has now been taken care of by us.

When Albelin saw us coming, he hurried out of the city to greet us, and Bobbi soon arrived. I praised both of them and praised them for their abilities. This is not to deal with, I am indeed very satisfied with Bobby, before Babula's garrison was less than a brigade, the strength was basically level 1, and he had to manage a large area, and he was able to stabilize the situation by relying on Bobby's own strength to calm the scene, and now I am sure that even if he is not in the town, it will be peaceful. He has a lot to do to be able to do this. And Alberlin, the little old man who was temporarily selected by me, did a really good job, and was able to manage the town like this, and concentrated the population, it seems that I didn't choose the wrong person.

Alberlin's attitude towards me was very deferential, a little too deferential. And when he found out that Avellia was a princess, he was a little nervous, and he didn't know what to do. But I also understand, after all, this old man has been a clerk all his life, from the kingdom period until the alliance and us took over, I don't know how many times the boss has changed, I don't know how many times he has bowed his head, and he has been scolded many times, before he accidentally got a town mayor's errand. Let him meet the princess directly, even if it is a princess who has escaped from his own country, it is still difficult for him to keep him normal.

''Albelin, I appointed you mayor of the town of Babra, but only you were allowed to run the town, and now I have authorized you to hand over the whole town and ten villages of Babra to you, and I hope you will not let me down. ''My words gave him a level of elevation and increased his power, and he seemed a little excited about this, and his mouth was full of words of thanks, which I was not surprised.

''Bobby, I don't have enough cards right now, I'll give you an upgrade next time I come.'' I was a little sorry to tell Poppy that he had a lot of credit, but I didn't have anything to commend him, so I had to give him some gold coins, but he also refused, so I had to give him a promotion next time.

''Thank you, my lord, I will definitely defend your territory.'' Poppy saluted, full of chivalry.

Originally, my idea was to take Avellia across the town of Babra and see what the town was like. However, in consideration of the nuisance, we went straight to the mayor's mansion in Alberlin, had lunch, and then continued on our way. However, I was also relieved to see the town of Babula that was constantly restored to order, after all, when we first took Babura Town, a third of the buildings alone were burned down, and now the town has rebuilt houses and has a lot of food reserves, so it seems that I don't need to worry about it here. Avria hadn't been to Babra and didn't really care, but she did agree with Bobby's approach.

After lunch, we continued our journey, passing the town of Babula, and the Tibetan army city was not far away.

..............................

Finally, I saw my city again, the city that belongs to us! From a distance, the Tibetan Soldier City is the same as before, with stone walls protecting the city, soldiers and residents coming and going in and out of the city, and domesticated cattle and sheep running under the drive of farmers on the vast flat meadows. A large flag was erected on top of the largest building, and the dragon pattern on it flew in the air.

''Sister Avelia, this is the Hidden Soldier City!'' This is our territory! I was very proud to introduce Sister Avellia to it, and I couldn't help but be excited.

''Finally, after a month of waiting, I'm finally back! ‘’

I excitedly raised my horsewhip and increased my speed, and my troops followed my pace and rushed quickly towards the Tibetan Soldier City.

In the distance, looking at the sudden appearance of a large number of troops, a knight at the head of the city was very surprised, he took a closer look, and found that the opposite side was his own people. ''Sir Philip is back?'' He opened his eyes wide and took a closer look, and the troop was moving fast, but he also saw Philip in the ranks. Just as he was about to open the door and wonder how Chief Philip was so excited to-day, he saw at the front of the line a man with a horsewhip taking the lead, a man a little fat, and with black hair.

''It's an adult!'' Your Excellency is back! The knight shouted excitedly, calling the others to confirm. Soon, the news spread, the gates of the city were quickly opened, and the people at the head of the city cheered excitedly, and the patrols and herdsmen of the city all approached, waiting with great anticipation for the arrival of their lord.

I heard the cheers of the city, and I knew they were celebrating my return. Before I rushed down the crowd that rushed over, I grabbed the reins of my horse, raised my gun and shouted: "My people, I, Li Xiaopan, are back!" ‘’

''Long live the lord!'' Long live your lord! Chief Philip has successfully returned! Long live the Lord......'' The cheers were like a tidal wave, and the soldiers of the entire city wall boiled, and they rushed towards their lord, and the tall man took their lord directly from his horse and carried his body into the city with a cheer. A large number of soldiers cheered at the troops behind him, they celebrated this great victory, and they congratulated their leader on the return of their side. Even as a princess, Avelia was amazed to see this, and the city's people loved their lord more than she had imagined.

The cheering crowd carried their lord through the streets, and everyone on the road came to cheer at me and celebrate my safety. It felt strange that I was being lifted, and they had the strength to carry me so far. I looked at the buildings along the way, I haven't seen them for a month, nothing has changed, but people are coming in and out, and they seem very busy. To those who have put down their work, I also wave to them and enjoy the moment, while telling them, ''I'm back!'' Let's go to work! ‘’

I heard a very familiar voice, and I looked over and saw that Mei Long was striding towards me from the direction of the barracks, and Varna was following him, and even when the weather was getting colder, she was still wearing her thin clothes that were a little "revealing", and her expression was very excited.

''Mei Long! Varna! I motioned for people to put me down and rushed straight over.

''My lord! Mei Long saluted me from afar, and then immediately got up and shook my hand.

''My lord, it's our incompetence, are you okay?'' Mei Long held my hand tightly, I looked up (height issue) at his face, looking at his expression full of guilt and excitement and surprise, I felt his hand tremble, I felt a warm current flow through my heart.

''It's okay, Meilong, I'm fine.....''

''My lord! Before I finished speaking, I was hugged by Varna, her expression was very happy, her demeanor was very open, feeling a trace of softness behind the leather, I thought to myself, it was really a Valkyrie, let it go!

''Your Excellency, rest assured, Varna won't let anything happen to your Lord's again!'' She let go of her hand and put her fist on her chest, reassuring me with confidence.

''Well, I believe in you!'' I nodded, and introduced them to my sister and how she helped me get out of there.

''In the name of glory, thank you for saving our lord, Your Highness the Princess!'' Meron gave her a solemn knightly salute, and Varna thanked her in her own way--- and landed her axe directly in front of her.

''Thank you, Your Highness, Thank you, Your Highness! Avria was just startled by the Valkyrie before being drowned out by the cheers of the residents and soldiers.

''Alright, alright. I waved my hand and smiled at the people around me: "Let's go back to the base camp." ‘’

Then, amid the cheers, I brought the knight, the Valkyrie, and my sister, who looked puzzled, to my base camp.

''My lord! As soon as I opened the door, I saw Vera sorting out the papers, and the moment I opened the door, she turned her head to this side, and she was stunned when she saw me, and then pounced on me, almost giving me the second hug of the opposite sex today.

''My lord, it's great that you're safe.'' Vera was so excited that the corners of her eyes seemed to moisten.

''It's okay, I'm fine, Vera. I quickly comforted them, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, just like Fang Zi did at that time.

''Okay, everyone, sit down, and tell me what happened after I left......''

Outside the base camp, residents have begun to celebrate spontaneously.......
