A procession of nearly 100 knights approached slowly, and the horses' hooves made a crisp and rhythmic sound on the hard frozen ground as winter approached. Each of these horses is a beautiful horse, with a perfect body shape of strong and powerful, and beautiful hair, and this tall war horse looks like a good thing at first glance. And the knights on the horses, they were dressed in thick iron armor, their faces were grim, and their hands holding spears and banners did not tremble in the slightest.

In the middle of the procession, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly into White Horse City. It was a very ordinary horse-drawn carriage, the interior of the carriage was arranged with a constant temperature magic array, both sides had the means to respond to any attack, and the horses pulling the carriage were the kind of high-headed horses, this kind of war horses could even carry extremely heavy armor on the battlefield wantonly.

This low-key but extravagant team is a team whose flags show their identity - the Shane Leader.

The Shane Territory is a rising western territory, their territory is not large, only one town can be used for people, but with the development and construction of recent generations of Shane Lords, this small territory has developed rapidly, and in recent decades it has been praised as a "golden trail" by merchants. It is rumored that the trade routes of Shane are full of gold, and it is the latest emerging land to rise in the west.

However, the rise of new forces is always accompanied by all kinds of troubles, and there are many troubles in Shane, as far as Wang Xiaotian knows, they at least have a bad relationship with Earl Andy, and they are both at the pass of the Great Wilderness, and White Horse City and Shane have always had a delicate relationship.

However, it is undeniable that among the many lords in the west, the Shane Territory is a relatively strong emerging power, and at least no frontier territory can be built to the same size and prosperity as him.

............

The shock caused by the arrival of the convoy was very small for the people at the bottom, they didn't care that the noble lord visited White Horse City again, they cared more about whether the city lord's mansion would build an extra road and whether it would add a little more tax after the lord visited. After all, building roads can bring them more revenue, and raising taxes is simply squeezing their last bit of value.

In this winter, the best news brought by the arrival of Shane is - food.

People were more concerned about the large quantities of grain dragged by the wagons behind the convoy, the heavy axles pressing a heavy mark on the road, and the sound of the crunching wagons filled the hearts of every worker with hope.

For the first time, Whitehorse saw the dawn of spring.

Just when the city was full of smiles, the most noble of the many carriages slowly drove into the City Lord's Mansion. The carriage slowly stopped, and an old man in good spirits stepped out of it.

The old man was very tall, and he wore a robe trimmed with dark gold thread on a black base, and even in such cold weather, he stood there straight, and the most impressive thing was his face.

The old man's eyes were big and bright, and even if he was old, the contours of his face were as hard as a knife, and he stepped straight out of the carriage, and his gestures were full of military style, and at first glance he was a vigorous and resolute person.

The attendants who had been waiting in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time hurriedly went up to greet him.

After Wang Xiaotian took White Horse City, many of the Lesterlos' attendants in the City Lord's Mansion were not replaced, in fact, there are still nobles in White Horse City, so these attendants can also make the City Lord's Mansion look less rude at some times.

And Wang Xiaotian himself is particularly impatient with the complicated etiquette of the nobles, and he is surrounded by some vigorous and resolute soldiers, and he has naturally been affected by the situation.

Not long.

The old man was led by his attendants to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where Wang Xiaotian was standing at the door waiting.

Less than five meters away, the four eyes look at each other.

The old man is very tall, like the rough Northern Wilderness, he has a trace of wild air on his body, but after all, he is a nobleman, and he looks like he has some aristocratic etiquette and majesty, which makes this old man look more unique personality charm.

And Wang Xiaotian, he looked at the old man quietly like this, he knew very well that the old man in front of him was a powerful nobleman in the west.

The two current leaders at the top of the West did not speak, and they looked at each other quietly. Shane's old man is like an old general on the battlefield, his eyes are full of aggressive sharpness, and he feels a little old and strong. Wang Xiaotian is like a deep pool, his black eyes are looking at everything quietly with an impenetrable depth.

These two very different attitudes seem to outsiders to be natural temperaments, but only these two people know what their attitudes represent.

A moment later, behind Wang Xiaotian, Kree and Rost took a step respectively, and the thick savage aura of the orcs rushed towards him, and the powerful momentum that was enough to tear everything apart broke a certain balance. The old man was the first to speak, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Baron Blackstone. ”

Wang Xiaotian stretched out a hand and shook it with the old man's vigorous hand, and he replied with a smile: "On behalf of White Horse City, Ball City, and the twenty-seven territories in the southwest, I welcome your arrival, Viscount Dodd. ”

Viscount Dodd.

The de facto ruler of Shane Territory is also Patrizi's father. The only southern lord to successfully retreat from the north during Viscount Maple's northern expedition, Viscount Dodd was also the only nobleman to confront Count Andy's army without being defeated in the Kudan region of Erdos.

It's the same as Shannling's enterprising spirit.

Dodd is also a nobleman full of fighting spirit, maybe the border, more contact with the wilderness, Dodd's words and deeds are not as gentle as the aristocracy, he is more like a general.

In Wang Xiaotian's view, perhaps only such an aristocratic family with the will to break everything can bloom in this backwater in the west, and only such a person can gain a firm foothold in a place like the border.

This was the first substantive contact between the Scharn-Boer alliance, and the atmosphere in which the two sides met, at least on the surface, was harmonious.

In such a bitter winter situation, Dodd personally rushed from Shane to White Horse City, and it would never be as simple as sending a batch of grain, at least what he wanted was by no means simply satisfied.

Don't look at this kind of winter, the wind and snow have stopped at the beginning, but it won't be long before the more rapid and violent snow will completely sweep the entire wilderness and even the west from the north to the east from the north.

Traveling in such weather, an old nobleman like Dodd definitely knows what it means, but he still came, and he can still come in a high position, this courage and determination must be faced by Wang Xiaotian.
