Chapter 80 The First Approach to the Imperial Capital
"Miss Lucia, I finally found you. Thank God for your favor, you're fine."
Seeing a few figures suddenly flashing in front of him, the galloping team stopped with a chaotic footsteps and horse sounds. Seeing the person in front of him clearly, the officer in white armor, led by the leader jumped down from the horse's back, came to everyone, walked into Lucia's side, and said in an excited tone.
"It's fine. Let's go. The Duke and the others are waiting at home. You don't know what you've been anxious about in the past few days when you disappeared. You almost used the large army to search the entire empire. You little girl are so, and you don't send a message back, which makes us old bones exhausted."
Then he walked in and gently stroked Lucia's head, and said in a kind tone, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.
"General Palic, you were actually going out in person. Haha, now, just have you here. I believe we will not have any danger again. Otherwise, the assassins will be troublesome when they come again, and my people will not be able to compete with those people."
Niels, who was on the side, also took the opportunity to step forward and said excitedly, "The person who came was Palic, the deputy commander of the Snow Wind Legion, and one of the powerful generals of the Empire. It is said that he has the strength of the holy level. What else can such a person do when he comes.
Hearing Niels' words, Rhode rolled his eyes secretly. Your people could not stop them and actually ignored them. Such actions are unforgivable.
"You are people from the Wind Mercenary Team. Thank you very much for this incident. Lawrence has said the story. If it weren't for you, Lucia, it would be really dangerous." Ignoring Niels' words, even with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He didn't know who Niels was after being in the imperial capital for so many years. Even if he had never seen it, he had heard of such a person. On the contrary, he turned his head and smiled, and had a good attitude towards Rhodes and others.
"Okay, I'm not grateful. I believe that this time I will compensate you for your trip to the Duke of the Imperial Capital. Let's go back and Lucia get on the carriage." Haha, he smiled and pulled Lucia towards the carriage in the team.
Taking a deep breath, when Palic just saw it, Rhode actually felt a blank space. His deep eyes could not see the bottom, like a vast starry sky without traces. At first glance, he actually made him feel a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and hurriedly followed him.
A master is definitely a master, and he made a conclusion about the figure in front of him.
The arrival of the large army not only brought horses to everyone for transportation, but also accelerated their progress after having horses. The pressure disappeared immediately, and the mood was unprecedentedly comfortable. The depressed mood during this period made them feel so suffocated.
Racing along the way, with a rumbling sound, everyone rushed outside the gate of the imperial capital before the evening arrived, much earlier than the original plan.
Looking at the mighty and tall city walls, huge city gates and crowded crowds, listening to the sounds coming from inside, the merchants, mercenaries and civilians coming and going, looking at their expressions, Rhode couldn't help but sigh secretly that the worthy imperial capital is simply not comparable to that of the Liehuo City. In front of it, the Liehuo City is not even a three-year-old child.
Finally arrived. Looking at the dullness in front of me, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. After going through hardships, they finally came to this place.
"Rod, why are you still standing there? Go away quickly." Ada whispered, pulling Rod on the horse's back next to him.
"Yeah, oh, let's go now." Looking at the mighty city wall and the three big words "Huaming City" written on it, feeling the vigorous and powerful pen tip, which contained a majestic momentum. Rhode was really crazy and sighed again and hurriedly followed the pace of the large army.
"Hmph, a mercenary who has never seen the world." A soft hum from beside him made Rhode frown. Isn't it the damn Niels? He was provoking here again. Looking at that face, he really wanted to pounce on him and shave him two times, but he still held back. Now is not the time and the occasion is not right.
The Snow Wind Legion is worthy of being the Snow Wind Legion. When he saw Palic's arrival, the soldiers guarding outside the city gate and the inspectors were not vague and immediately opened a road for them to go in directly and pay attention to the ceremony.
After entering the city smoothly, his horizons suddenly became wide open, and there was a prosperous scene. In the evening, under the slanting sunset, countless people were shuttled through the streets, the store was sharp, and the reception was neat, straight and vertically, and the colorful flags were flying everywhere, which attracted Rhodes again.
"Damn it, it's time to follow me," I pulled La Rod again, and Ada felt a headache. This guy really had a little bit of a countryman entering the city. He saw everything so strange, as if he had never seen it before. He was really afraid that he would not know where he had thrown it away if he was not careful.
After passing through a straight road, after turning at a right angle, I walked over and received it again. Everyone entered another area, and formed a completely opposite scene here. There was no longer the noise and chaos before, and it seemed extremely quiet. The whole street was wide but quiet, with few pedestrians. There were no longer those shops on both sides, but were changed into large houses. Some of them could even be called manors, and mansions stood peacefully here.
"This is the area where people with the most power and money in the imperial capital can live. Living here represents an identity and glory." Looking at Rhode's puzzled look, Ada, who was secretly sighing, explained helplessly.
He nodded slightly, and it turned out that this was the case. It really takes a lot of money to have such a good villa in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, and it also requires rights. This is the so-called noble area.
After walking straight, another turn was immediately presented to everyone. I couldn't see it at first glance. It was many times larger than the mansions or manors I saw before. I secretly sighed that it would be not easy to have such a mansion in such a place.
Before the group arrived at this mansion, they stopped and were a little stunned. Then they understood. It was also true. From the observations over the past two days, it can be seen that Lucia's family affairs must be not simple. Perhaps only such a mansion can match.
Looking closely, in front of the huge dark red gate, dozens of guards holding weapons were standing neatly, tall, strong and full of energy, exuding a serious look. You can even feel the cold eyes of these people and the looming murderous aura.
They are definitely the elite among the elites. Soldiers who have not experienced the test of life and death cannot have such momentum and posture.
"General Palic, you have been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and go in." Before seeing a group of people coming to the mansion, a guard rushed over and said quickly in front of Palic, aiming at the carriage, revealing a hint of joy. He naturally knew who was inside.
"Here, Miss Lucia, let's go in." Before getting off the horse and came to the carriage, Palic said with a smile to Lucia in the carriage.
"Are you back? You're really back." Looking at the scene in front of the door, Lucia's eyes were slightly red. She had suffered hardships these days, and the infinite grievances in her heart when she saw this mansion were immediately involved.
"Lucia, are you back? My baby daughter, you are finally back..."
At the same time, a cry came from afar, and then a group of people in the gate quickly ran towards the outside. The leader was a woman in her thirties. Behind the woman was an old man with silver hair. The two of them ran towards this side surrounded by a group of maids and servants.
"Mom, grandma." Seeing the two people running out, Lucia's eyes became even rosy, and tears almost fell down. She jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the two people quickly.
"My little baby, you finally come back. It's fine. It's fine. Those evil people dare to touch you. Don't worry, grandma makes the decision and ask your grandpa and your father to deal with those guys well."
Holding Lucia, the old man showed a hint of relief, his eyes were slightly moist, and he patted her back and said softly, especially when talking about those men in black, a cold light flashed in his eyes, which made Rhodes and other onlookers feel a bone-thrusting chill.
"Who saved my baby this time?" After a hug, Lucia threw herself into the young woman's arms. As for the old man, he walked to everyone and asked in a deep voice.
"Old lady, it's them, from the Wind Mercenaries." Hearing the old man's words, Palic hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at Rhodes and others to answer.
"It's you, huh, I know everything about this time. Don't worry, I'll help you get the loss back together. I saved Lucia's life and thank you very much."
"Grandma, we are still outside the door, so we won't let us in."
After hugging her mother, Lucia quickly walked to the old man, pulled her arm and said coquettishly, "At this side, she was completely different from before, and she was completely different. This was the first time I saw the little girl like this, and she was even more charming than before. This look made many men present fascinated.
"Oh, look at me, just be happy, I even forgot about this. Let's go in quickly, Palic, don't leave, set aside, go in, have dinner here today."
