Hundreds of black dots rose from the Storm Fortress and quickly formed a formation in the air to meet the Imperial Envoys, who were none other than the Barbarian Air Horsemen stationed in the fortress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Envoy of the Glow Empire, welcome to the Titan Empire's Raging Fortress!"

A sturdy barbarian knight was the first to approach the legation, his loud voice resounding through the air, and the air riders behind him quickly lined up left and right in two columns, putting on a posture of greeting.

For hundreds of years, Storm Fortress has been a bridgehead for the Titans' invasion of the Glow Empire, with more than 100,000 elite legions stationed, and frequent wars are commonplace for them.

But now the Storm Fortress seems to be covered with a veil of warmth, completely lost the killing majesty of the past, the heavy crossbows on the fortress walls have all disappeared, there are only one or two squads of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the streets cleared of snow are very lively, not like an outpost fortress but a bustling city.

Peace came so suddenly, and a similar situation played out in the Red River Fortress, it is conceivable that when the barbarians faced the threat of the Far North Demon Clan, it was an inevitable choice to transfer the elite legions of the fortress to enrich the northern defense line.

Led by the barbarian air horsemen, the Imperial envoys slowly landed in the central square of the Storming Fortress, where a crowd of people drinking and a guard of honor were already waiting.

Han Fei was not the first to land, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Glow Empire became the first member of the royal family to set foot in the barbarian territory in a thousand years, he personally drove a griffin to land in front of the welcoming crowd, and after standing on the ground, he came to a barbarian nobleman with a rather powerful hug, as if the two sides were friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Regardless of whether the millennia of hatred between the two sides is eliminated or not, this scene will surely be recorded in the imperial books.

Han Fei put the wind into the spirit beast bracer and stood silently in the middle of the line, he recognized that the barbarian nobleman who hugged Ye Changtian was the Duke of Ascot, the supreme commander of the Storm Fortress, and the female knight standing behind him and smiling with Night Ice Rose was Ascot's most beloved granddaughter, Nia.

Han Fei had seen the two of them at Niya's engagement banquet back then, and Duke Ascot was a little older than two years ago, making the night breeze standing in front of him look even more handsome and extraordinary.

The Ye clan seems to have been favored by a certain god, and all the children of the Ye Shi Emperor are all outstanding people, and this great prince is no exception, and everyone who has seen him has been deeply impressed.

He is tall and slender, strong but never bloated, with slightly uninhibited short black hair, a resolute face like an axe and a knife, light bronzed skin that represents health, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and charming eyes when smiling.

But this handsome prince is not lacking in manliness, a white gorgeous dress can't hide the momentum of a high-level powerhouse, compared to him, the fourth prince who has been making trouble with Han Fei, Ye Changfeng, is simply a spoiled child.

The welcome ceremony was short but solemn, as Duke Ascot was not the Emperor of the Titan Empire, and the Mighty Fortress was only a transit point for the Imperial Mission.

The Imperial Mission's guards were composed of the most elite Royal Sky Knights, most of whom had participated in the Punishment of Light operation to destroy the lair of the Shadow Church, and all of them were powerful, as well as three god-level powerhouses including Han Fei.

However, after this huge escort team arrives at the Storm Fortress, including a god-level powerhouse and more than half of the knights, they will return to the Holy Capital, and the next way to the Spark will be escorted by the barbarian side, which is also a diplomatic etiquette between empires.

That night, a grand welcome dinner was held in the Duke's Palace in the Storm Fortress, where the leaders of the fortress and the top of the legion gathered, and everyone left behind the war hatred of the past on the surface, which can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

Han Fei was quite emotional when he returned to his hometown, but he didn't see the Marquis of Poon and Vivian at the banquet, so he couldn't help but have a little more doubts, with the strength and status of the Poon family in the fortress, it was impossible not to be qualified to attend such a banquet, could it be that something could not be said?

However, with his current status, of course, it is impossible to inquire about a certain nobleman present, so he can only suppress his doubts in his heart.

Early the next morning, the Imperial Mission left the Mighty Fortress and headed for the Titan Yanking Spark thousands of miles away, leaving most of the knightly guards, but the ranks were even larger, and Duke Ascot sent his most elite guards to ensure that the road was foolproof.

The journey from Storm Fortress to Yanjing Spark is long, spanning the vast northern prairies, and most of the area passed through is uninhabited.

This long journey would take at least several months if a horse-drawn carriage was used, so the Imperial Mission adopted air cavalry as a substitute, but due to the slow speed of the empty camel, and the need to camp in advance at night to ensure safety, it took almost half a month to reach the Spark.

The majestic Ares Mountains were left far behind, and as far as the eye could see, there was a vast ice field, and the team flew in a northeast direction under the leadership of the barbarian air horseman.

Seven days later.

After thousands of miles of travel, the northern prairie finally revealed a trace of its original color, covering the snow on the field, most of it melted to reveal the yellow-green grassland, from time to time you can see the meandering rivers and beautiful lakes like jewels in the jade belt, and you can also see many animals inhabiting the grassland.

The eastern part of the northern steppe is much warmer, and the major cities of the Titan Empire, including Yanjing Sbuck, are located close to the coast, although most of the nomadic tribes chase water and grass in various parts of the grassland.

As night fell, the mission set up camp under a grassy knoll near a small lake, and the royal knights themselves erected tents one after another, and soon lit a bonfire, which lit up the meadow and dispelled the winter cold.

Except for Ye Changtian and Ye Bing Mei, the guards and knights cooked their own food, and camping was not uncommon for them, especially the barbarian knights, and soon the smell of broth and toast wafted through the camp.

Originally, as Han Fei, he was also qualified to huddle together with the two princes and princesses to enjoy the service of others, but he preferred to mix in with those fierce and heroic knights, many of whom had fought side by side with him, and they were much more familiar and close along the way, and it was more comfortable and natural to talk and laugh with each other.

"This beef is about to turn into stones!" a knight with a bearded face stirred the meat pieces in the pot with a soup spoon, and said scoldingly: "I have been grinding my teeth at night in my dreams these days!"

The people around laughed, and one of the handsome young knights said with a smile: "Big beard, I'm afraid you're dreaming of hugging the girl from the Seikyo Bar and making love, right?"

The laughter became louder, and the bearded knight scolded with a smile: "You hairy boy knows a fart! Obviously, even the young man also came to learn how to laugh with adults, and when it comes to the Spark, I will take you to see the barbarian woman to break a chick, but when the time comes, I am afraid that you will be devoured by them with a belt bone!"

As he spoke, he looked at each other with bad intentions, his eyes were full of ambiguity, and the knights were so happy that they leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and the young knight's face was embarrassed by the laughter.

Han Fei, who was sitting in the middle of them, smiled, these royal knights are not flowers and show-off decorations in a greenhouse, they are all from the major legions of the empire, everyone can be said to have experienced a hundred battles and killed many enemies, and laughter and conversation between colleagues will inevitably bring the habits of the army, but their loyalty to the empire and the royal family is unquestionable.

"Do you want to eat fresh meat? I have a way!" Han Fei said with a smile.

Even if there is a Gift Ring, the supplies carried by the mission are limited, and a large part of it has to be supplied to the empty riding griffin with a great appetite, although the two princes and princesses can certainly eat exquisite food, more than a hundred guard knights can only deal with dry food and meat pieces, anyway, it will only take ten days.

However, after seven or eight days of eating, the jerky and hard bread must have been tired of eating, and when they heard Han Fei say that there was a way to get fresh meat, the eyes of the knights suddenly lit up.

The bearded knight couldn't wait to ask, "Lord Marquis, are you going to hunt nearby?" I saw a lot of bison at noon, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to find at night!"

It was a hazy night, with some stars faintly visible but no moon, and it was not easy to search the grasslands from the air to find cattle that they didn't know where, and most importantly, these knights had the heavy duty of guarding, and it was impossible to leave the camp to hunt at will in order to ensure safety.

Han Fei smiled and didn't answer directly, but just showed the spirit beast bracer he was wearing on his left wrist, and with a flash of light, Wojin flashed out of thin air and landed on the grass.

"Go!"

With Han Fei's soft snort, Wojin rushed out of the camp like an arrow from the string and disappeared into the darkness, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

This time he went to the Titans, Han Fei brought the two battle pets of Lafeng and Woking, and Huo'er stayed at Tulip Castle.

However, whether it is Lafeng or Woking, it makes the eyes of many knights blue with envy, you must know that a good war pet is harder to find than a good wife.

Wojin was originally the king of the wilderness, and with the strength of the seventh order, it was easy to search for prey on the grassland, and it didn't take much time to drag back a fat steppe horned deer.

The knights were so pleased with the freshness of the big fat deer that the young knight took the initiative to drag the carcass of the horned deer to the small lake next to it to wash and peel it, and soon sent the large pieces of cut meat to the grill.

Han Fei's Gift Ring contained a lot of spices and condiments, and after a while, the unique aroma of barbecued meat wafted through the camp.
