Chapter 514: Entering the City

The journey from Pritz City to the royal city of Lorraine is not too far, and it is estimated that it can be reached in two or three days if you travel lightly and the carriage gallops.

Moreover, due to the lack of high-level military deterrence in the whole country after Lorraine's repeated injuries, the domestic situation and public order have declined significantly compared with before. Bandits and bandits also frequently haunt the countryside and wilderness, and if the caravan is plundered, it is estimated that the loss of the Gambino Chamber of Commerce will be serious. Therefore, the head of the Chamber of Commerce did not hesitate to spend a high price to hire Urum's mercenary team as a guard, and accepted Leo and others to join, striving to be safe and secure along the way.

However, the strange thing is that the bandits and robbers did not encounter, but frequently encountered patrolling soldiers and temporary checkpoints along the way. Just paying the toll made the caravan master complain frequently, but he couldn't do anything about it.

When passing by a slightly larger checkpoint, the caravan commander finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked the oncoming officer, "Sir, what happened, and why are there so many checkpoints along the way?"

The officer said a little impatiently: "Go your way, go your way, don't care about your business, don't worry about those idle things!"

It was such a simple sentence that made the caravan master guess many things. First of all, this time the investigation was definitely not for the purpose of soliciting bribes, otherwise the officer would not have said that. And if you catch a fugitive or guard something, it makes the caravan master wonder.

Leo's figure and appearance are actually not very conspicuous among the many burly men, but his bearing on the body makes him as eye-catching as a night light in the eyes of those who have a heart. It was also Leo's bad luck that the patrol officer, an ordinary soldier who had followed King Fairman's retreat, was reassigned here after returning to his homeland.

This officer had witnessed Leo's frequent defeats of the Imperial Knights of Paris many times, so even if there were many mercenaries in the way, this officer could see Leo at a glance.

As if struck by lightning, the officer shook violently and stopped his steps. However, the officer was also a clever man, and deliberately pretended not to know each other and passed by Leo. But when he turned his back to Leo, his eyes showed an unconcealable look of excitement.

King Pique knew that Leo would be heading to the Kingdom of Lorraine in the near future, but it was not clear exactly how he would arrive. In order to find out Leo's whereabouts, King Piqué did not hesitate to expend military strength and directly deployed a large number of soldiers in the border area, even if Leo came with an army, King Piqué could react quickly.

But no one expected that the dignified Grand Duke of Pritz would hide in a small chamber of commerce, but he was discovered by the people stationed there. This was not because of Leo's carelessness, but because no one could have imagined that he would be recognized so easily.

"Alright, no problem, you can go!" the officer waved his hand pretending to be calm, signaling for the head of the Chamber of Commerce to leave.

When the wagon had gone along, the officer hurriedly wrote down the discovery of Leo on a small scroll of paper, and then summoned several soldiers and told them to reach the royal city as quickly as possible.

Leo, who was still slowly and leisurely on the trade road with the carriage of the Chamber of Commerce, did not expect that his whereabouts had been exposed.

After receiving the summons from the soldiers, an inexplicable smile appeared on King Pique's face. casually estimated the day when Leo arrived in the royal city, and when the time came, he must give Leo a gift that he will never forget, so that he knows how powerful the suzerainty is. And without taking his secrets out from Leo, King Pique will not give up.

Even more anxious than King Pique were those dark mages, and since they knew Leo's strength, they didn't dare to go to Pritz City easily. So the only chance to take the Grand Duke of Pritz is to do what Pique said.

In order to ensure that things are foolproof, the dark mages have also shown their ability to press the bottom of the box, striving to hit with one blow, even if they do their best to take down the Grand Duke of Pritz.

For the abnormal movement in the palace, Ney keenly sensed that something seemed to be wrong, and then thought of Leo coming to the royal city, Ney's heart immediately lifted. Although he served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Ney was not trusted by King Pique, and many things in the palace were not informed of Ney. However, just from some of the daily supplies needed by the royal city, it can be seen that the royal city is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

Three days later, one morning, as the sound of carriages continued to sound, the Chamber of Commerce and his party finally arrived safely in the royal city of Lorraine, which greatly relieved the caravan leader.

After saying goodbye to the caravan and Urum and the others, Leo did not waste time and sneaked straight towards the place where the King of Lorraine City was located. Unlike Leo who had come to the Royal City of Lorraine several times, this time the weather of the Royal City gave Leo the feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

If in normal times, Leo doesn't care about this feeling, but this time Leo doesn't dare to relax his carelessness, he doesn't know what attitude Pique will have towards his request for independence, but Leo will definitely not be so intimidated, if Pique has other ideas that he shouldn't have, then Leo will no longer care about the agreement with King Fairman.

Unlike Pritz City, where Leo himself lived, many people in the royal city of Lorraine recognized Leo at first sight, after all, most of the people had experienced the Great Evacuation and Great Migration of those years. Now that he saw Leo again on the main road leading to the royal city, the enthusiasm of everyone made Leo feel ashamed.

In this way, surrounded by many enthusiastic people, Leo continued to praise the journey from the city gate to the royal city gate, and the people praised Leo for his exploits in those years, and spontaneously followed Leo behind, hoping to get a little more of the talent of the Grand Duke of Pritz.

Such a huge contingent made the chief of the guard guarding the royal city of Lorraine almost mistake it for the enemy army to attack the royal city.

"Leo, Grand Duke of the Principality of Pritz, has broken through the five major legions of the Paris Empire and completely solved the major problems in the southern region of the kingdom, so he specially came to the royal city to meet His Majesty the King!" Leo deliberately raised his voice to shout to the chief of the guard in the royal city, and the voice infused with internal force instantly suppressed the noise of the people.
