Chapter 191: The Royal Capital

Along the way, there are many castles where people can rest, and there are even many small markets.

These were run by local lords.

With the development of the Black Stone Territory, many aristocratic territories appeared in the surrounding areas, especially the main road leading to the north along the way, which was densely covered with fiefdoms.

Their owners don't have to do anything, they only need to collect the cost of passing through the merchants, and they can make a lot of money.

Of course, people are not satisfied, and they can't really do nothing.

With the lucrative gains, the lords naturally wanted more.

It is impossible to raise the road fee, it will be killed by everyone, this road is not just one person's interest.

What if the businessman feels that the profit is insufficient and changes the route?

There's more than one way to get into Blackstone.

If you mess with the Blackstone Collar again......

Then there is no other way to do so, farming the land, producing grain to provide supplies for the business travelers along the way......

Malone traveled all the way south, holding the Queen's warrant and paperwork, asking for supplies for the army along the way.

No one will not give, and no one will dare not give.

Not to mention that they dare not disobey the queen's orders, just the army behind Ma Long can make these guys obedient.

These people thought that it would be better if they could get in touch with the lord of the Blackstone Lord.

Nearly ten days after Malone and his party left the Blackstone Territory, John finally threw his army and caught up.

The Thousand Knights, the Three Hundred Dwarves Artillery Brigade, and naturally there are more important artillery.

Goldbeard even brought a strong bow that Marlon asked the dwarves to help build.

The two teams joined forces, and Ma Long no longer had any scruples and moved forward at full speed.

With the participation of a large number of priests, the physical recovery of the army is fully guaranteed.

In September 726, Ma Long and his entourage finally saw the high walls of the royal capital from afar.

Bill, who was traveling with him, couldn't contain his excitement and cheered.

"It's finally ......"

In order to hurry, Ma Long has been asking the military priests to perform recovery techniques in turn, so that the soldiers can recover their strength.

It can be said that everyone has not slept a few peaceful nights, and people like Bill, who have no special abilities and are usually pampered, are naturally uncomfortable.

At the beginning, there were still many caravans that wanted to take advantage of it, and they could go with the army, so that they could not be afraid of threats along the way.

Malone didn't drive it away, but unfortunately they soon fell behind, and they really couldn't keep up.

The team that lasted the longest lasted three days together, but still had to give up.

I'm too tired, and if I go on and don't get robbed by robbers, I'm afraid I'll exhaust myself to death.

With the experience of their peers, a group of businessmen knew that the Blackstone army was not in vain.

This rapid march alone will make the whole kingdom unmatched.

What's even more rare is that after inquiring about each other and comprehensively inferring from multiple sources, the army of the Black Stone Leader can actually maintain such a speed all the time, which is amazing!

Merchants are accustomed to long distances and know what human physical fitness is all about, but it is precisely because they know that they are even more amazed.

They didn't know exactly how many priests there were in Blackstone Territory, or how many were in the army.

However, the caravan that followed Ma Long for three days made a lot of limelight this time, became famous, and reaped a lot of benefits......

Far away from the city gate, Marlon slowed down his horse.

Under the city gate, the soldiers of the two roads lined up beside the road, and the army was in order.

The spear in his hand was straight upright, and the head of the spear reflected the cold light.

In the middle of the avenue, there is a group of nobles, looking at their clothes, they are all high-ranking members of the kingdom.

The first one, dressed luxuriously, with a long skirt support, has a graceful bearing.

The two maids behind him held the hem of their skirts and bowed their heads to accompany him.

Half a position behind him, there were two men standing on the left and right, one of whom was Ma Long on the right hand who was still known, it was the Marquis of Mammon.

No one needs to be introduced, Ma Long knows who the person at the head is from his position, the queen of the kingdom - Caitlin.

Although Ma Long, the handsome man on the left side of the queen, does not know him, he can stand beside the queen, and his status is naturally not low.

Based on Ma Long's understanding of the high-level of the kingdom, it is speculated that he may be the queen's husband, the Grand Duke of Dongjun - An Leke.

The queen personally brought her husband, Marlon's only acquaintance in the royal family, outside the city gate in person, in order to naturally welcome Marlon, or the powerful army under Marlon.

Looking up, Chitu walked forward slowly, Ma Long sat on it, his posture was upright, and the army behind him was dark and gloomy, and the momentum was amazing.

The knights followed closely behind Ma Long, silent and silent, and the specially treated steel armor on their bodies was dull and dull, like a dark cloud covering the top, slowly pressing down, giving people an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

Queen Caitlyn exhaled slowly, as if to exhale the pressure in her chest.

This is the famous Blackstone Lords, and it is indeed composed of all knights.

The strongest army in the entire kingdom is also the target of her personal arrival.

An ordinary marquis, naturally, does not have to go out of the city to greet the queen in person, but ...... If this marquis had a real knight order in his hands, it would be a different matter.

The Knights slowly moved forward with their own lord, and the inexplicable heavy oppression became stronger and stronger, but the queen completely ignored it.

Instead, he praised it: "What a majestic order! The indescribable regret in his tone.

Such an army, alas, is not loyal to itself!

Ma Long raised his left hand lightly, and the army slowly stopped, even the people and horses, silent.

"What a strict military discipline!" Grand Duke Anlek couldn't help but speak out.

The army is silent, it is not easy, but with the right method, he is confident that he can also train it, but he can make the war horse silent, but there is nothing he can do!

Malone stopped his mount and rolled over to the ground, his movements were crisp and neat, without dragging his feet.

He walked forward a few steps, supported his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and said, "I have seen Her Majesty." ”

"Aiqing is exempt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Malone got up.

Caitlin looked at Malone carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she was too young!

The figure in front of him is tall, his face is resolute, and his heroic and extraordinary armor sets off it.

Thinking of what Malone has done over the years, Caitlyn couldn't help but praise: "Qing Zhen guards the frontier, rejects barbarians from the country, works hard, and now works tirelessly, thousands of miles to help, it is really a model for all nobles......"

"Your Majesty praised it, I just did what I had to do!"

"Good one did what was supposed to be done." The queen sighed softly, "If all the nobles were like this, the situation in the kingdom would not be so bad!"

Malone didn't know how to answer for a while, he wasn't good at such occasions, so the atmosphere of the Black Stone Collar was always relaxed.

Faced with the queen's pessimism, he had to be relieved: "It will be fine!" ”

"I hope so!"

As if seeing Ma Long's discomfort, the queen changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about these bad things first." ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to Mammon and said, "This is Uncle Benwang, I think you know you too, so I won't introduce you much." ”

The two looked at each other and nodded to each other, "Long time no see!" ”
