Chapter 1430 - 1430 The border city (1)
1430 The border city (1)
Moving forward in the intoxicating beauty often made it difficult for people to feel tired, and this was the case for everyone at this moment.
It didn’t seem to take long for a huge fortress covered with green vines and flowers to appear in front of everyone. It was the checkpoint that the old man had mentioned before.
A group of Morning Star Empire soldiers in exquisite armor and holding all kinds of weapons stood in front of the checkpoint, coldly watching the people walking over.
The military buildings that were supposed to be filled with iron and blood were less cold and cruel because of the embellishments of these beautiful flowers and plants.
The old man walked in front and bowed to the soldiers in front of the checkpoint. At the same time, he took out an emerald green wooden token, which was used to prove his ident.i.ty.
It was extremely difficult for foreigners to do business in the morning Star Empire. Not only did they have to have a large number of recommendations, but they also had to go through a thorough examination. Only after all the conditions were met would the city Lord of the border city issue a certificate.
Therefore, this seemingly ordinary token actually had a very high value in the outside world, and countless people could not wait to get it.
Although the old man’s clothes were ordinary, he actually had a family business that was as rich as a country’s. He had retired many years ago, and his son was in charge of his own Chamber of Commerce.
This time, he had taken the initiative to come here because Holy Dragon City had protected his property and prevented it from suffering any losses. In return, he had allowed him to lead Yue qianhua and the others into the morning Star Empire.
There were many merchants like the old man. They had all chosen to submit to the Holy Dragon City to protect their families.
Tang Zhen indeed wanted to control the entire continent, but he didn’t necessarily require everyone to become a resident of the loucheng. He only wanted to add the special war machine of the loucheng into the original social system.
Therefore, merchants like the old man naturally had to keep their abilities.
The Morning Star Empire military officer, who was wearing a silver armor with hollowed edges and colorful metal embellishments on some parts, smiled. He carefully checked the token and then returned it to the old man.
old John, you haven’t been here for a long time. How’s your health now? ”
The officer at the checkpoint clearly knew the old man. After the two of them chatted for a while, their eyes fell on Yue qianhua and the others.
He had been observing these cloaked men and women just now, and there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes, because he found that these people’s auras were extremely fierce. They were obviously strong cultivators who had fought hundreds of battles.
If they were to fight and kill each other, they might not be a match at all!
It was also for this reason that he had always been wary of Yue qianhua and the others, and had even made preparations for battle.
Although this was the territory of the Morning Star Empire, and there was an Army stationed dozens of miles away, if these people really had evil intentions, they would still cause great losses.
“Old John, who are they?”
The checkpoint commander pointed at Yue qianhua and the others and asked in a very serious tone. His eyes were very sharp.
The old man didn’t hide anything and said to the checkpoint officer, they are representatives from Holy Dragon City. They wish to meet the city Lord. It should be something very important.
Hearing this, the checkpoint officer’s pupils shrank slightly. It was obvious that he knew some information about the Holy Dragon City.
Now that the continent was in chaos, the Holy Dragon City was the cause of this chaos. What exactly were their intentions by sending people to the Morning Star Empire?
Although he was full of doubts, he was not qualified to partic.i.p.ate in this matter. So after checking the goods and making sure that there were no problems, the checkpoint officer announced that they would let them go.
After pa.s.sing through a checkpoint built by giant trees, the group came to a wide flat land.
This place was covered in green gra.s.s. Perhaps it was deliberately cleaned, so there was no debris on the ground, as if it was a soft carpet.
This was the place where the soldiers at the checkpoint lived and trained. Residents of the Morning Star Empire would also trade here. Although it wasn’t a large place, the goods displayed here were full of regional characteristics.
Yue qianhua and the others had important matters to attend to, so they only took a glance at the road when they pa.s.sed by, and then continued along the road.
Along the way, there were all kinds of strange animals. They always liked to squat under the gra.s.s and trees by the side of the road, watching the group move forward in a daze, as if they were used to this situation.
Because of the presence of Yue qianhua and the others, the officer at the checkpoint had specially sent out a team of elite soldiers to escort them.
Although it was an escort, the real purpose was to monitor them. After all, these cultivators from the Holy Dragon City were obviously experts. The officer at the checkpoint did not dare to take them lightly.
Even if these soldiers were no match for them, it was enough to sound the alarm in case of an accident, allowing them to prepare in advance.
At the same time, the news of the arrival of the Holy Dragon city’s emissaries had been sent to the city Lord’s mansion. As for how to deal with the next matter, they needed to first figure out the Holy Dragon city’s true purpose.
Compared to the Maple Leaf path, the road leading to the border city was much wider. From time to time, flower beds made of mountain stones and ancient sculptures could be seen on the side of the road, hidden among the flowers and trees.
Seeing this scene, the smile in Yue qianhua’s eyes became more and more obvious. Obviously, through some subtle things, she had gradually verified her guess.
The race that had established the Morning Star Empire was obviously closely related to the elves!
As for why they appeared here, it was not something out of the ordinary. Although this land was a land without an owner and its location was uncertain, it was still a world of buildings. It was just that there was no Warzone to take it in.
In the long past, it was entirely possible for the elves to enter this land to live and multiply, and then build a country that belonged to them.
As long as she could confirm this, Yue qianhua was confident that she could recruit a group of followers and build a city that belonged to the elf race.
Short-horned deer had a high carrying capacity, but their speed was rather slow. However, with the mages of the Morning Star Empire driving them, their speed was more than twice as fast.
This was obviously a spiritual spell that had nothing to do with cultivation techniques. It allowed them to communicate with animals and plants. In an environment with dense trees, the combat strength of the Morning Star Empire cultivators would be multiplied.
After walking for about half a day, a huge city built on a cliff by the lake appeared in front of everyone. The Emerald green Lake was like a flawless gem, and a tall and slender bridge was built on the lake, extending to the city on the other side.
The soldiers of the Morning Star Empire were used to this kind of scenery, so they didn’t have any special reaction. However, Murong Ziyue was very excited and kept shooting, laughing and laughing.
When they arrived at the White Bridge, they saw a group of soldiers in white armor standing on both sides of the bridge. They were decorated with colorful feathers and looked like peac.o.c.ks, as if they were welcoming distinguished guests.
After seeing this, everyone jumped off the deer and walked toward the bridge.
A well-built man with silver hair stood at the end of the bridge. He was wearing a windbreaker-like outfit and greeted the crowd with a smile.
welcome, friends from afar. I’m the city Lord of a border city. You can call me Slade.
Yue qianhua stepped forward and responded with the traditional etiquette of the elf race. She smiled and said, ” Holy Dragon city’s special envoy, Yue qianhua, greets the city Lord of Slade. At the same time, I would like to send my regards to you on behalf of our city Lord, Tang Zhen!
Seeing Yue qianhua’s actions, the smile on city Lord Slade’s face became even wider. He extended his hand and made an inviting gesture as he led the way towards the border city.
