Chapter 1: Triumph

The army of the Northern Expedition returned triumphantly, and the imperial capital of Mirrok was empty, and the people crowded on the roadside like a festival to welcome this victorious and powerful army.

"Long live the Miro Empire!"

"Long live the Mirรณ Legion!"

"Long live the Demon Hunters!"

......

The shouts were endless, and the faces of the people were full of festive joy, and they laughed, celebrated, and shouted, and they exchanged their ears, and even more people who did not know each other congratulated each other, and the country had won the war, and finally ushered in a rare peace, and all the people were so excited.

The streets are full of lights, and the spires of all the tall buildings are hung with five-colored silk wool and streamers, fluttering slowly in the wind, and the people form a crowd, crowded near the north gate of the imperial capital, men with women, adults with children, have come to catch up with this bustle.

The guards on both sides of the road struggled to keep the law, their hats squeezed off, their boots stamped with mud, and even their faces scratched by the enthusiastic crowd. Even so, this weak line of defense still looks like it is about to collapse.

It was nearly dusk when the rumbling of horses' hooves was heard outside the north gate, and a group of sturdy horsemen marched into the gate, naturally they were not still wearing dirty armor as they had been in battle, their armor was polished, their hair was neatly combed, and their faces were haughty, reserved, graceful, and majestic. They strutted with grace, and even the horses under their crotches were draped in bright armor, and their hair was washed and shiny, as shiny as the shining riding boots.

In the center of the cavalry ranks, there are three knights who are the most eye-catching, the first one, the uniform is straight, a group of brown war horses under the crotch, tall and straight figures, square and resolute faces, sword-like sharp eyes, and confident and calm bearing. It was none other than Imperial Marshal Lupsas.

He was followed by two other handsome young knights, one riding a white horse, carrying a great black sword on his back, and his eyes were as warm as jade. One rides a dark horse, with a toned body and sharp eyes. These two people have taken away the style of the entire imperial capital!

"Your Highness, look at the grand celebration of this triumphant return!" said Dick, smiling as he rode his horse.

Long Er also smiled and said: "Yes, but this is all thanks to your wisdom and bravery Duke Dick, this great victory over the Duke should be credited with the first credit, and the people's welcome ceremony should also be for you, the Duke." โ€

"Where, Your Highness, you are too humble, and you also play a role that cannot be ignored in this battle. In terms of credit, you should have a share. Dick said seriously.

Then the two daxiao together, intimate like two brothers, only when the other party turned their heads and couldn't see, their eyes flashed with a sharp cold.

The people on both sides of the street cheered excitedly, the crowd seemed to be boiling and set off a wave of waves, all the people rushed forward to crowd forward, wanting to see the demeanor of the imperial capital Wang Shi, many people jumped at the back of the team to look inside, and many parents lifted their children high to let them witness the triumphant demeanor of the king master.

Row after row of cavalrymen entered through the north gate, as if never-ending, they would march along the avenue of the imperial capital to the square in front of the palace, where they would be inspected by Edward VII. Then continue down the road to the south, from the south gate out of the imperial capital, until you reach the garrison camp southwest of the city of Mirrock.

The rows of cavalry seemed to be endless, and the first troops had already arrived at the garrison camp, but there was still a steady stream of brightly dressed cavalry in the north gate of the imperial capital.

The cavalry procession was finally completed after nearly an hour, followed by the swift and sharp archers in leather armor, armed with bows and arrows, who were also well-dressed and swaggering, and walked lightly and gracefully.

"Ah, it's an elf!" exclaimed the sharp-eyed man, the elven archer was so different! handsome face, graceful gait, self-confidence, unforgettable elegance. Everything makes them different and has a different kind of charm.

After all the archers marched out, the infantry walked out of the north gate, they were calm and heavy, they were indestructible, they were as majestic as a mountain, they were insurmountable! Hundreds of thousands of ironclad troops walked into the north gate with neat steps, their clothes and armor were bright, and their fighting spirit was high. Viewed from the side, their steps are as neat as one person.

One of the most eye-catching is the dwarven infantry regiment, their bodies are majestic and resolute, full of explosive power that terrifies the enemy, and the heavy hammer and axe in their hands are fierce, as if they are exuding thick blood!

The Mage Regiment and the Knights of the Horned Eagle, as the secret ace units of the Empire, did not join this military parade, but bypassed the city of Millrok and quietly returned to the barracks.

On this night, the whole city reveled and celebrated! The palace also held a grand banquet for the victorious soldiers.

The main hall is illuminated by three crystal chandeliers hanging from the dome, and the surrounding walls and columns are depicted with images of legendary tales from the epic. On one side of the main hall are five or six long strip-shaped tables, which are full of delicacies, wines, fruits and vegetables.

On the other side of the hall is a circular dance floor, where the court musicians sit on the edge of the stage, playing beautiful notes on the violin, harp, piano and other instruments with their dexterous hands, and on the dance floor, piles of men and women are dancing in each other's arms.

All the high-ranking generals in the army were invited to the banquet, in addition to the banquet was attended by the dignitaries of the imperial capital, the celebrities and tycoons of the business world, the noblewomen and ladies of the social world, etc., even Edward VII also came to the banquet site, of course, as an emperor, he had the necessary reserve, he could only award honors and praise the generals who had made great achievements, and could not attend the banquet in person, and his physical condition did not allow him to do so.

Dick and Longer were surrounded by a large group of nobles in the center, asking questions about long and short questions, especially Dick, who had the first merit in this battle, and became the existence of the nobles and the stars.

"It is a shame for us old fellows that Duke Dick was able to accomplish so much at such a young age. A bald old man said with a smirk.

"Where, where, Lord Marquis, you are serious. Dick laughed.

"Lord Dirk is both wise and brave, and he will definitely be the pillar of my Miro in the future. โ€

"His Royal Highness the Prince has praised it. Dick hurriedly laughed.

"I heard that Lord Dick is still unmarried, do you want us to introduce you?"

"Don't bother your lords, I'm not thinking about it yet," Dick said.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask you, do you know how the Xiusi Empire responded to the invasion of the natural calamity?"

"Hmph, Theseus Empire, those useless things. An old minister scoffed, "It's not that the Liliang of the Crusaders of the Holy See of Light was borrowed to defeat the undead, without the assistance of the Holy See, I'm afraid the entire Xiufaster will become a slaughterhouse for the undead!"

"Is that so?" muttered Dick, not knowing what had happened to McFarlane, who was his best friend, and wondered if anything had happened to him in this undead catastrophe.

But Dick immediately shook his head and smiled, how could Macfarlane be in danger as a prince?

Dressed in black banquet dress, she sat lazily on a high-backed chair in the corner of the banquet hall, thoughtfully, holding a wine glass in her hand, swaying it casually, the scarlet wine hovering over the wall with the gentle shaking of her bare hands.

"Beautiful Miss Dimihera, why do you sit here alone at such a grand banquet?" an elegant voice came from beside herself, and Dimihera raised her head lightly, only to see that the prince of Longer had already lined up in front of her at some point.

"Your Highness, I just don't like noise," replied Dimichra with a graceful smile and a slightly hoarse voice.

"I see, so do you have time after the banquet? Longer said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and two small dimples on his handsome face.

Dimichra really didn't know whether to agree or refuse, so she heard another voice say, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, she is not available, we have an appointment tonight." Dick also came to her at some point, freed from the entanglement of many nobles.

Longer was still smiling, but the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently, and he said, "Really......?

Dick was already holding one hand behind his back, and the other was stretched out towards Dimihe, and at the same time leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of please: "Beautiful young lady, can I ask you to dance?"

"Of course!" Dimihera put her hand on Dick's outstretched hand, and the two walked hand in hand to the dance floor. At the moment when the three of them staggered by, the smile on His Highness Long'er's face completely disappeared.

On the dance floor, Dick and Dimihera danced in their arms, moving deftly to the beat of the music.

"Boy, doesn't that matter, what about your jihua?" asked Dimihera softly.

"I've got my own measure. Dick laughed.

Dimichra said, "But you weishenme was so ...... to Longer before."

"For the sake of my Jihua, I can endure humiliation, be humble and wronged, and greet the enemy with a smile, but I will never sacrifice the people around me for Jihua, because this is my principle, because I am Dick!" Dick said softly but undoubtedly, and Dimihera suddenly found that his eyes were brighter than ever, so charming.

"You dance so much better than before, so you look like a woman. Dick laughed.

"Boy, you give me death!"
