128 Chapter 128:Returning
Longard took the reins of the silver armoured division and ordered them to start the slaughter.
The cavalry that had stopped down and surrounded the Queen carriage started to make their move and started their merciless massacre.
The horses bellowed and wherever their iron horseshoes stomped, blood and flesh flew into the air. The blades and swords penetrated the enemy and made huge holes in their bodies.
It looked as if many sheeps were trying to take down the tigers without knowing the consequences.
The enemies who tried to attack them screamed and whined in anguish but they had no strength to fight back as it was a one-sided massacre.
The mercenaries were thoroughly decimated and their blood stained the ground.
Longard reached the back to see Matt engaging with a Master rank enemy.
The sword was raised emitting a glow as he darted on his horse.
The sword shined with a murderous light under the ray of the sun. The tip of the sword was dripping with the blood of the enemies and now it was aimed at the Master rank.
His figure moved like a flash and it disappeared from the horseback.
The Master rank who was crashing hard against Matt tried to push him and gain some distance.
Swish!!!
As Matt was pushed back, a shadow flickered before him and he saw Longard standing before him.
The Master rank mercenary who stepped back felt a pain in his left shoulder and saw a large cut on his shoulders.
Blood spurted out from his wound giving him unbearable pain.
He gritted his teeth trying to suppress the pain and raised his sword to attack Longard but stopped in his tracks when he heard the loud sound of horns.
The Master rank mercenary along with all the enemy ceased their movements on hearing the loud sound of horns and started to retreat.
Seeing them running away, Matt asked”Commander, do we let them leave like this?”
“No, we kill as much as we can but we shouldn’t take unnecessary risks after all who knows following them may lead us to trap,” Longard spoke with a solemn expression while watching the Master rank flee but he didn’t give him a chase.
After all, the safety of the Queen is his topmost priority.
The soldiers didn’t let the mercenaries leave quietly and killed them as much as possible.
Some were beaten like dogs until their life left the body whereas some were crushed brutally under the hooves of the horse.
Seeing that things have been sorted out, Longard ordered with a loud voice “Resume the March.”
…….
While Catherine was on his way to the Capital, Alex and Christina had already reached the capital.
But since Catherine hadn’t arrived, Alex decides to sneak into the city with Christina and take a look at the capital.
The name of the city was Azerban which was built at the edge of lush plains along the riverside and is truly a leading edge display of wonder.
Its uniqueness is matched by the backdrop of a majestic mountain which has helped the city to reach what it is today. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The trade resources these mountains brought were of great importance. Business seemed to be blooming here and it had attracted a lot of attention.
Historically, this city of plain ordinary people had grown into a culture of a variety.
Alex and Christina walked on the street strolling here and there.
It was the first time Christina walked among the masses and she looked at everything with a hint of curiosity.
Alex looked at Christina’s expression and muttered inwardly,’ The shopping genes of the girl that had been suppressed in her seemed to be on the verge of eruption. I should do something before she gets into the bad habit of shopping.’
“Christina, do you want to eat something?” Alex asked Christina while pointing at the man who was selling roasted corn.
Christina was snapped out of his thoughts on hearing Alex’s words and looked at Alex and gave a brief nod.
Alex pulled her towards the small stall and asked her”Have you ever eaten roasted corn?”
“Roasted Corn!! I think so” Christina answered after a brief pause.
“I see so you haven’t got a taste of it,” Alex spoke.
“I told you, I think I have eaten it,” Christina spoke with a pouting expression.
“Christina thinking about eating and eating for real, are two different things,” Alex spoke and turned his head towards the owner and asked him to give him two roasted corn.
“That would be two copper coins.” The owner replied.
Alex nodded and took the corns after giving the money and handed them one to Christina.
Christina took a bite and started to chew with an expression filled with ecstasy.
Alex smiled seeing Christina’s satisfied expression and was about to take a bite when he heard a loud shout from crowds. People started to run towards the City gates pushing him towards the side.
“What the hell!!!” Alex shouted seeing people’s unruly behaviour.
“Kid, don’t be angry. It seemed that the queen had finally returned.”The owner of the stall spoke, seeing Alex’s irritated expression.
“Ohhh!Christina let’s go there.”
“Okay!” Christina nodded while eating her fill but Alex didn’t wait for her to finish and pulled Christina.
Near the city gates of Azkaban, all the people of the capital seemed to be gathered there to welcome the return of their Queen.
While the sound of clattering horses filled the area, the silver armoured cavalry were at the front leading the march.
Catherine’s carriage appeared pulled by the horses which were led by Longard and Shieldon.
The crowd erupted with cheers and started to throw flowers at Catherine’s carriage and bow their heads in her respect.
Some people waved their flags where the entire plaza seemed to be echoing with a single nose.
“Long Live The Queen.”
“Long Live The Queen.”
“Long Live The Queen.”
Alex and Christina, who had been hiding in the crowd, looked at the grand welcoming ceremony.
“Wow what a splendid entry,” Alex muttered with a smile.
