Chapter 176: Entering the City
The griffon knight above looked at the returning expeditionary force and quickly landed in front of Edmund.
Wang Chu stopped in the middle of the student ranks.
"Who is that griffon knight? Lucia's voice rang in my ears.
"Hajar City originally had no air troops, but the Griffin Knights belonged to the Wizards Association, and the Mage Tower troops were sent by the Imperial Capital, so they were all familiar with the Great Mentors. "Rias knows Hajar best about the defenses of Hajar City.
"Mage Tower troops, I've heard of this mysterious unit for a long time, and it is said to be the most elite in Hajar City. Al and Cyra approached curiously.
In the past, when classes were held at the academy, students would talk about some topics about the city, the most mysterious of which was the unit.
"It's true that many people in this unit don't see each other on weekdays, but this time we went out and took almost half of the elite of Hajar City, and it is precisely because of them that we can be safe in the city. Lias said.
Several of the students nodded as if they didn't understand.
Wang Chu had never come into contact with these troops, and the griffin knights had seen a few, and they had come to the rescue when they were on a mission at Felder Farm before...... I felt something behind me rub against me.
It's a fawn, and Lias has done her best to take care of it for a few days, so much so that its fear of humans has eased a lot. In particular, these students are still a little intimate.
"Big brother, what did you just fly over? I've never seen a creature like that before. "The fawn is probably referring to the griffin.
In retrospect, there are indeed no griffons among the wild animals I have seen so far, they are all ordinary animals, at most they look weird, and the biggest beast I have ever seen is just the desert hill.
"It's from outside. That's the only way to answer.
"Oh. ”
The team slowed down a bit, and the person who should be in the lead was discussing things.
It has already reached the border of Hajar City, and it only takes a few hours to enter the city, and this time the expeditionary force is coming with the chief of Siwa, and it should be arranged in advance to fulfill the friendship of the landlords.
Although Siwa City is not as good as Hajar City, it is now a country on the surface, and Kajimi's identity is similar to that of the Marquis of Palatinate, the lord of Hajir City.
Sure enough, the griffin knight suddenly rose into the air, not back to the watchtower, but in a further direction.
"Rest at the watchtower, and the garrison will give us some fruit, and we'll rest until noon, and we'll get back to the city in the evening. ”
At this time, someone came with a message.
Look at the sky, it's only morning, and it's going to rest for so long.
"Ah, it's already at the door, I still have to wait, I want to get back home and take a shower as soon as possible...... I haven't had a proper shower in months. Cecia said dissatisfied.
"Well, didn't you ask us to go to the bath when we were in Wadson?" replied Lucia.
"It doesn't count, as long as it's not long enough, and there's no spice. ”
The aristocratic lady would pour spices into the bath when she bathed, and Wang Chu felt it in the emir's bathroom.
The two girls gave her a blank look.
........................
The place where the team arrived at the watchtower was supposed to be a border camp, except for a camp of only one soldier, and about a thousand people guarded it, without any facilities outside the barracks.
There are a lot of vegetable patches around, all of which are grown by the soldiers themselves.
Other than that, it's a place where domestic animals are kept in captivity.
Outside this kind of border defense far from the city, you can only find fun by yourself, and there are also many military bosses in the expeditionary force, and they are also the bosses of the army stationed here.
Seeing that there is no accusation in this, that is the default.
The team rested at the camp of the garrison at the watchtower until noon.
It's not hot at noon in spring, but it's not too hot for someone who has just come out of the desert, even if it's summer.
The time was quite accurate, and by the time it was evening, you could already see the towers of Hajar City.
"Look, we're almost there. ”
Several students looked ahead excitedly.
"Big brother, we're going home soon. The fawn behind him also said, but when it said home, it meant a place in the forest.
Wang Chu looked at the place facing the city, although he couldn't see the whole picture, but the forest could already be seen in the area on the edge.
Where is it?
Lunara, the forest guardian, didn't know what was going on now, and Wang Chu planned to maybe go and see it tonight, at least to find out what was going on in the forest first.
"How is Lunala doing now?" he asked suddenly.
"I haven't seen her since she was taken away by the spiders, and I don't know if she's okay or if the candle people have been chased away by her. The fawn said timidly.
Lunara is the guardian of the forest and is protected by the Elven Tree.
As long as it is still in the forest, Wang Chu believes that there should be no problem, and several beasts in most of the forest are at its beckoning.
Seeing that they were about to enter the city, the team began to stop and straighten their clothes.
Edmund had made arrangements before, and when he could see the city gate, the roads on both sides were actually decorated with flowers, and the petals were still pink, and they looked like they had just been plucked.
The gate was open, and the crowd was already gathered.
"It was a welcome ceremony. Al said excitedly.
As a student, he had never received a welcome ceremony from the public, and there seemed to be a voice in the crowd shouting Al's name.
This little brother is really ......
The sound was too loud, and it didn't sound like it, especially after the team entered the field, the petals of the mountain sky and the sound of shouting on both sides.
Wang Chu listened to the name of anyone.
Among them, there is also a long-lost sense of familiarity that shouts about my sister.
It's been months since I've heard the emir's voice, and I'm almost losing my memory.
Because it was in the form of a stag, and the team was riding on horses when accepting the welcome ceremony, Wang Chu was surrounded in the center, and he couldn't see the specific appearance of the two rows of people.
All I could see was the horse's feet and some of the people's bodies.
Suddenly, in the field of vision, several figures squeezed out of the clothes of various people.
"Liars, you liars......" was halfway through when he was dragged into the crowd by another group of soldiers in armor.
In the field of vision, I can only see the outside through the gaps in the limbs of the horses on both sides, and the upper part of the body is covered, so I don't know who it is...... They all looked ragged.
There were quite a few along the way, and occasionally a few soldiers would rush out of the crowd and force the crowd to drag them behind.
"The Brotherhood will punish you...... will punish ......"
The cheers were so loud that only a little sound could be heard intermittently.
