On January 28, 982, the sky gradually turned out of gloom and clear, and the howling cold wind became weak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dawn broke on January 28, an official road in the Yurasno Empire. A group of 100 light horsemen, led by Meliwicz, was galloping towards the direction of Pena, the city that must be passed through on the way to the imperial capital.

The city of Jiaopena is built on the mountain, and the city height seems to have entered the clouds from a distance. The castle is lined with unclimbable cliffs, and stone bridges are used as roads between the peaks. And the location of Cape Pena is the only central hub that wants to pass through these mountains, otherwise you can only turn into an eagle to avoid the obstacles of this mountain.

This city is far away from the border city of Kemalicio, and Xiaoxing can be reached by staying overnight for six days. The march was non-stop, as Melwitz was, and in less than three days they had come to this corner in front of the city of Pena.

It was noon, but the gates of the city were closed. In front of the city, there were many people of all kinds, among which there were two groups of people. One was the Meliwitz group, which was already lightly armed, and the other was an extremely beautiful carriage, with a dozen guards armed with scimitars in the center of it, and it was difficult for ordinary people to approach.

As a result, the group had to wait on the White Rock Bridge, which connects to the opposite mountain road. Standing on the bridge and looking down, I can only see a long white mist, and I can't peek into how deep this valley bottom is.

Dressed in a sleek and light suit, Ku Zhi rode a white steed with his favorite saber hanging from the saddle. At this time, he was a lot less melancholy, and his eyebrows revealed the brilliance of the past, elegant as before, and quite fairy-like.

Melwiitz is in stark contrast to Kuzhi, he is dressed in animal skins and wide pants and military boots, looking casual and domineering.

The hundred light horsemen who followed behind them wrapped their long-handled weapons in cloth and hung them by the saddle, with short knives of uniform shape hanging from their waists.

Melwitz's face sank, and he sent his men to inquire why the city gates had not been opened until now.

The men who went to inquire about the information will be returned in a moment. He reported to Meliwiz that the city of Capena had been like this since a few days ago, and that the Governor of the city had been delayed in opening the gates because the Lokosno Empire had started a war and that the governor of the city was afraid that a fine work would enter the city.

When Ku Zhi heard this, he frowned and whispered to Melivitz: "The Duke has already repelled Lokosno, and it is understandable that the good news will not return to the imperial capital. But this city is not far from Kemalicio, I'm afraid ......"

Melwitz bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Arena has secretly supported many henchmen in recent years, and I hope that this corner of Pena City has not been touched. ”

Ku Zhi had a flash of inspiration: "The duke doesn't have to worry, how can he not tell the world about the good news." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Melwidzi, puzzled.

Ku Zhi continued: "Since the Duke is the first warrior of Yurasno, if the success of this battle is announced to the world, the Duke's prestige will be unprecedentedly enhanced, who will dare to stop him on the way back to the capital?"

Kuzhi also said: "The Duke can send General Heramont to send an official letter, and all passing cities will post notices. We waited for the soldiers under the secret faction to spread the word along the way, and such a great thing could be accomplished. ”

Melwitz immediately said: "This is a wonderful move, I can send troops to herald Heramon's do, can you proceed with the arrangement of spreading the word along the way?"

"Willingly. ”

――――――――

Melwiitz kept his anxiety to himself, keeping his composure calm and not being swayed by extreme emotions.

A long time has passed...... The two gates of Capena City creaked and slowly opened. From the city, a number of Yurasno infantry armed with spears came out, and with their spears they forced the people who wanted to enter the city onto the white stone bridge.

Although the air was humid, the people outside the city had been waiting for a long time, and their mood was already impetuous. The gates of the city were opened, but they still refused to let them go, and they immediately complained.

At this moment, a man in a well-dressed brocade robe left the luxurious carriage from before and walked towards the group of infantry.

Ordinary carriages are pulled by one horse under normal circumstances, and more than two horses. And this luxury carriage, both in terms of the material of the car and the exterior decoration, is a first-class boutique. The cart was drawn by four white horses, and the shape and coat color of these horses seemed to be carved out of a mold.

The man in brocade came to the infantry, and he was arrogant: "The master in the car is a big man in the imperial capital, so he quickly gave way and let him go." ”

The captain of the infantry didn't eat his set at all, and snorted coldly: "Without the order of the governor, you will not be allowed to go!"

"What about your governor, let him come out to me, not to mention the governor of Pena, even the prince wants to give face to my master!" the man asked sharply.

"Go and wait!" the infantry captain was still as tough as before, and didn't pay any attention to his words.

"Your master is so powerful, what are you doing in the border city, shouldn't you enjoy wealth in the imperial capital? Suddenly, a low-ranking infantryman next to him interjected.

"Brute, dare to insult my master, seek death!" the man raised his hand to slap the low-ranking infantryman, but just as he realized that he still had a Tiege spear in front of him, he forcibly stopped the outstretched palm.

When the low-ranking infantry saw that the man not only scolded him but also beat him, he immediately became angry and raised his gun and stabbed.

The man was frightened, and he wanted to turn around and escape, but it was too late. Suddenly, his eyes were closed, and his face was like ashes.

For a moment, the spear still hadn't been stabbed. The brocade-clothed man opened his eyes and saw a tall, majestic man dressed in a beast skin and holding the spear stabbed by the low-ranking infantryman. He is Melwitz Ewing.

"Yurasno's military rules are strict and you are not allowed to hurt civilians, and your actions are really undisciplined!"

"You, you let me go!" No matter how hard the low-ranking infantry dragged him, he couldn't snatch the spear from Melwiez's palm.

Suddenly, the infantry outside the city of Capena raised their guns and pointed at Meliwitz, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Bang!

The low-ranking infantry fell to the ground, and only half of the spear was left in his hand, and the rest was still in Melwitz's hands.

The soldiers around them were shocked that such a tough spear could be easily broken by Meliwicz, and only with one hand.

The man who was saved by Meliwitz hurriedly said: "Thank you for saving your life, the villain must be thanked!"

Melwidz looked indifferent and said lightly: "No need. As soon as he finished speaking, the infantry outside the city of Horn Pena raised their guns and stabbed at him.

"Hmph!" Meliwitz saw the spears coming, and in an instant he grabbed all the spears with his shoulder socket, and spun around sharply, only to hear a thud, and the spears were broken in two.

The soldiers at the place were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and no one dared to step forward.

At the same time, a richly dressed man dismounted from the luxurious carriage and was slowly walked towards Melwitz by the support of his servants. Looking further back, there were ten guards with swords at their waists and solemn expressions on their hands.

"Thank you, Lord Duke Meliwiz Ewing, and we should not start a conflict. As soon as he finished speaking, the rich man had just arrived at Melwitz's side.

When Melwiitz heard this, he looked at this person, and he didn't recognize the person in front of him. So he didn't answer, but bowed his head.

The infantry of Cape Pena may not have seen Meliwitz, but its reputation has long since spread far and wide. These infantry were immediately at a loss for what to do, and even more did not dare to step forward.

The captain of the infantry was most embarrassed, so he could only give the order not to move lightly and wait for the governor of the city of Horn Pena.

In front of the city, Kuzhi ordered some light horsemen to stay in place, and he led the beastmaster and a few men to Melwiez's side.

When he was young, a man dressed as an officer rode out of the city of Cape Pena, who was the governor of the city.

Melwitz tapped the Beastmaster and came to the horse of the Governor of Horn Pena. He pressed his bridle and said, "I am the ...... of Melly."

Before Melwitz could finish speaking, he heard the Governor of Horn Pena interject: "No matter who you are, no one can pass without the customs clearance documents of the imperial capital!"

Ku Zhi stepped forward and said sharply: "Presumptuous! You know that you are in front of the Duke of Meliwitz Ewing! You can also know that the Duke has used 5,000 soldiers to destroy the enemy country by 50,000!"

Seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, and claimed to be the first warrior of the empire, the governor of Jiao Pena was a little weak at the moment: "Ben, this governor said, without the documents from the imperial capital, I dare not let them go without permission." ”

Ku Zhi snorted coldly: "You are obviously blocking the duke's triumphant return to the capital, how can you return to the imperial capital if you block the way here!"

The Governor of Jiao Pena was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he said: "This governor doesn't care, not only do you not have the imperial capital documents, but you also dare to pretend to be the generalissimo! All the soldiers, follow the governor back to the city and close the city gates!"

When the governor had finished speaking, he was to pull his horse back to the city, and he was only about ten paces away from entering the city. In an instant, a wall of ice protruded in front of him, blocking his way.

At this time, a deafening voice came from behind the governor of Jiao Pena: "You traitor, if you commit the following crimes, it is not a pity to prevent the commander from returning to the capital!"

At the same time, Melwitz had an extra flame broadsword in his hand. He couldn't help but say, and when his sword fell, he cut off the horn of the Governor of Pena at the waist.

The Governor of Pena spurted blood from his waist like a pillar, and his upper body fell to the ground with flames between them.

Melwizlema stopped, holding the Emperor's Flame Broadsword: "The traitor will commit the following crimes, and prevent the commander from returning to the capital." Now that you have been killed, you still have to garrison the city of Horn Pena, and you must not slack off!"

All the soldiers of the city of Horn Pena promised in unison, and they all bowed down to Meliwitz.

Melwitz led Kuzhi and a hundred cavalry through the city and rushed to the direction of the imperial capital.

The rich man, of course, had a full view of this scene, and sitting in the luxurious carriage, he smiled slightly, and said to himself, "Interesting, really interesting." ”
