"Hell, what the hell, these hillbillies in the north call these 'roads'?"

Outside the gates of Stormwind, in front of the sizable procession, a young man with blond hair stuck into strips of sweat cursed, and jumped off his horse with the help of his attendants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young man looked to be in his twenties, and he was handsome, but his slightly smaller eyes and thin lips gave him a mean feeling.

Antonis Lancaster rubbed his inner thigh, which had been worn out by a long horseback ride, and now he resented his grandfather, who had asked him to come here, in addition to the owner of the city in front of him.

Hearing this, a middle-aged man who was seriously looking at the magnificent city in front of him not far in front of him turned his head, the disdain and disdain hidden in his eyes flashed, and he spoke with a gentle smile on his face

"Antonis, a few setbacks are a process we have to go through, and I think it is with this in mind that the Honorable Duke of Lancaster recommends you to be my deputy."

Slowly stroking the beautiful mustache at the corner of his mouth, the brown-haired middle-aged nobleman pointed to the city wall in front of him in admiration

"It's a miracle, when I came to the Northern Territory many years ago, it was still a barren place, full of robbers and barbarians who harassed you from time to time, look at it now, here I can see a city that is second only to the imperial capital......

"Phew!" After taking a sip of the water sent by the servant, the slightly sour taste made Antonis spit it out, kicked the innocent servant in anger, wiped his mouth with the cuffs inlaid with gold wire, and spoke with hatred

"Dear Marquis of Auston, Your Excellency! I don't care at all now that this hillbilly city is really as miraculous as you say, and I have begun to regret that I did not follow the advice of the Count of Bar, and stay in his territory to wait for you to return to the imperial capital on your way back, without carriages, without delicious hot food, and with the humble tent at night, oh my God, curse here! ”

"Hey, soldier or something on the other side, answer my question, a noble earl, how long will it be before your country lord with a strange surname comes out to greet me and the Marquis of Auston de Meroving?"

With this last sentence, the deputy envoy roared and asked the group of punishment knights who were silently on the opposite side

With a slight sound of metal rubbing, the knight leading the team took a few steps forward and spoke slightly behind the foreheads of the two people

"The news here has been reported to your Excellency by my companions, and I am sure that you will soon be greeted by your lord personally, and besides, be careful of your words, gentlemen, if there is any insulting remark to your lordship...... Don't forget that as knights, my companions and I have the right to challenge you......"

After saying this calmly, the knight bowed his head again and returned to his ranks, only the disgust and coldness in his words were revealed.

"What ...... are you?"

"Shut up, Earl Antonis Lancaster, don't forget that I'm the prefect this time, and now please be quiet."

The Marquis first stopped Antonis with a drink, and then nodded and apologized slightly to the knight opposite, the momentum of the other knight made him a little jealous after experiencing the war.

Fortunately, Antonis was probably a little afraid of the marquis, and although he was still angry when he heard this, he did not open his mouth again to provoke or scold, and the group could only continue to wait patiently in a quiet atmosphere.

***********************

After receiving the news, Leo, who had been looking forward to the news for a long time, did not let them wait long, and hurriedly changed into clothes that matched their status with the help of the butler and servants, and led 50 punishment knights to greet them in person, accompanied by the four captains, and the champion swordsmen who were in charge of daily defense were also wearing bright armor and lined up near the city gate.

Although the ceremony is a bit rudimentary, the elite knights and soldiers must be able to bring a different shock to the envoys......

With the sound of horses' hooves from far to near, the usually half-open gates of Stormwind City were also completely opened at this time, and Leo rode out slowly with a gentle smile on his face.

The movement alarmed the waiting team, and the Marquis of Auston hurriedly sorted out his appearance and whispered a warning to Antonis next to him

"Looks like the Lord is coming to greet us personally, damn it, pay attention to your aristocratic image, and don't let the Lancastrians be disgraced by you"

Fortunately, regardless of his character, the etiquette education and habits from the background of the big family still made the earl put a standard smile on his face again, and he did not get on the horse, and the two took the initiative to meet him.

Seeing this, Leo didn't take it too far, jumped off the mount a few steps away from the two, and made a warm welcome gesture to speak first

"Good day, gentlemen, it is an incomparably honourable honor for me and my family to be able to meet two true gentlemen from the imperial capital on such a beautiful day, I am Leo, the Grand Duke from Pande, the master of the city behind me, welcome!"

In the face of enthusiasm, Auston and Antonis did not dare to slack off, and after returning the salute with impeccable aristocratic etiquette, the Marquis also said with a smile

"Your deeds have surprised us all in the distant imperial capital, esteemed Leo...... Sheet? Your Excellency," Auston stumbled a little by the tongue-twisting pronunciation of the Chinese characters, "but please forgive me for being blunt, your identity has not yet been recognized by the Empire, and I hope that using your title will not cause you to be unhappy." ”

"Of course, I understand the concerns of His Majesty and the members of the House of Lords, although it disappoints me a little, and what shall I call you? Two distinguished guests," Leo just rightly showed a look of regret.

"Auston de Meroving, Marquis of the Empire, it is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency!"

"Antonis Lancaster, Imperial Earl, is also glad to meet you, Your Excellency!"

The two hurriedly reported their names and titles, and on the whole, the initial meeting was quite harmonious, and even the gentle Antonis could not be dissatisfied with the enthusiasm shown by Leo.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, two lords, I don't want you to laugh at my faux pas, so can we talk while we walk, everything has been arranged for you in my mansion, of course, please don't worry about your retinue and escort knights, my men will take care of them, please get on your horses, gentlemen, we still have a long way to go after we enter the city."

Leo motioned to Finn to arrange for men to lead the two of their men and the knight to follow, also with a certain sense of vigilance, and after turning over his horse and making an inviting gesture to the two.

Smiling in agreement, even Antonis had to grit his teeth and get back on his horse with the help of his servants, the pain of the friction making him roll his eyes, and Auston looked at the Knights of Punishment scattered on either side of their men, and glanced at Leo's back with a little meaning

There is also some clarity in his heart, obviously the young foreign grand duke in front of him is not exactly as enthusiastic as he shows, and he is probably still worried and wary of these envoys from the imperial capital......
