"Be careful, Dozo. Can't you just let me be a little less worried? " A woman in an apron said helplessly. She raised her head and saw that her eldest son, Dozo, was climbing up the roof with his younger siblings.
The boy named Dozo was only eight or nine years old, and his eyes were lively. He quickly climbed to the roof of his house so that he could see the street below clearly. The boy turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, you're so slow. You won't be able to see them later."
His younger siblings hurriedly climbed up and came to their eldest brother's side on their hands and feet. The children sat on the roof and looked down at the street. Countless triangular flags were hung on both sides of the street, and the two golden royal flags with two lions were hung on the lampposts on both sides of the street. Knights in bright clothes and horses stood on both sides of the street, while guards in silver armor maintained the order of the street.
The streets were filled with the people of the imperial capital. Today was the day of the empire's expedition. The imperial army would rendezvous with the army of the Grand Duke of the South and head to the Shadow Plains together to fight the Shadow Duchy and the monster army to the death.
Therefore, the people of the imperial capital came to see them off. There were their fathers, husbands, sons, or brothers in the army. Everyone hoped that they could return safely, even if it was just an extravagant hope.
Of course, not all the troops would pass through the city. Strictly speaking, the march in the city today was more of a farewell ceremony for Julian to Allen.
When the two Zanna horns in front of Dawn Castle sounded deep and distant, people let go of the white pigeons in their hands, hoping that these little fellows flying into the sky could bring peace to the country. Standing on the buildings on both sides of the street, Christian believers sprinkled flowers on the street, heralding the blessings of the gods. In the distance, the choir's singing came from the newly completed cathedral, amid the flying pigeons, the sprinkling of flowers, and the melodious singing. The Knight on both sides of King's Avenue raised their horns one by one, welcoming the team that had come down from Mount Dawn and was about to head out of the city through King's Avenue.
The little boy, Dozo, said excitedly, "They're here. Look over there."
He pointed to the end of the street. In fact, he couldn't see anything there yet, but his younger siblings were still looking forward to it excitedly. A moment later, a divine white horse jumped into everyone's line of sight. Sitting on the tall horse was the young emperor of the Bailey Empire. The Emperor was dressed in military attire. Even though he did not intend to personally lead the army into battle, the awe-inspiring armor still made the Emperor look divine and extraordinary.
The people shouted "Your Majesty" and knelt down one by one. From afar, the crowd looked like straw blown by the wind and fell to the ground one by one.
Dozo's hands trembled with excitement. Just behind the young Emperor, a black horse entered the boy's sight. A man in a black and gold full-body helmet rode on the war horse that was covered in a black and gold armor. The man was very young, and he was holding a helmet that was also black and gold in color. The top of the helmet was decorated with a bright red feather. The man holding the helmet had a head of silver-white hair, which contrasted strongly with the armor on his body. He held the reins with one hand, exuding an indescribable sense of nobility and majesty.
The little boy even felt that this man was more like a ruler than their emperor.
He knew that it was the Grand Duke of the South, a legend of the Empire. He was also the only big shot in the entire country who was qualified to walk beside the Emperor. However, the little boy did not know that the Grand Duke was so young. He originally thought that the other party was an old man with a white beard.
Behind the young Emperor and the Grand Duke of the South, there were a few tall warhorses, with a woman sitting on each of the two horses in front. One of them had long golden hair. She wore a silver-white robe with golden armor protecting the important parts of her body. Those green eyes seemed to be entrusted with infinite beauty. When she stared at them, everyone felt calm. Beside that goddess-like figure was another woman who was as flamboyant as fire. She wore light armor with red and black patterns, and her pale red skin that was exposed to the air showed an exotic charm. Her long black hair was tied up high, forming a ponytail that hung behind her head. On her waist hung a gorgeous bright red sword. Holding the hilt of the sword, she was as mighty as a Valkyrie.
Behind these two women of different styles was a large group of soldiers and horses. The Knight in bright clothes and furious horses, the infantry in snow-white armor, the musketeers who walked in unison, the powerful heavy axemen, and the heavy cannoneers who walked beside the cannons.
The procession marched majestically along the King's Avenue towards the city gate. Flowers kept falling on them, stopping on their helmets or shoulders.
Allen smiled as he looked at the crowd along the way. At this moment, Lucy trotted to his side and said, "I don't know how many people won't be able to return to their homes this time. In fact, if we were to act alone, it might be faster and more efficient."
"Of course I know. If it's just us acting alone, I'll directly transfer the starship that's on standby outside the planet. I directly transferred the starships that were on standby outside the planet. In this way, we could transport the troops to the Shadow Plain in one day. However, this war can't be fought entirely by us. The people of Planet Heavenly also need to experience the war themselves. Only then will they know that peace is not easy to come by. "
Allen paused and said, "And after this war, the Empire will definitely have to take the path of recuperation within ten years. This is the best thing for Edward and the others."
At this moment, a soft cry sounded from the crowd. It turned out that a boy had fallen from a three-story building. Without thinking, Allen raised his hand towards the boy. The boy floated in midair and was gently supported by the force field released by Allen. Allen slowly put him down, smiled, and nodded before focusing forward.
It was Doso who fell down the stairs. The little boy was so excited that he accidentally fell down. Now that Allen had saved him, he excitedly shouted to his younger brothers and sisters upstairs, "Look, Grand Duke saved me."
His mother hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and carried the boy back amidst the kind laughter of the people.
The troops drove out of the imperial capital and out of the New Great Wall. Square formations could be seen from afar behind the Great Wall. It was the 100,000 troops the Empire had gathered, led by Roderick. They would meet up with Allen's army halfway and head to the Shadow Plain together.
"I'll take you here," Julian said as he pulled the reins.
Allen came to his side and smiled, "Your Majesty, just wait for our good news."
Julian held Allen's shoulder tightly. "Although we're not real brothers, I've already treated you as my brother in my heart. Grand Duke Allen, you must come back. "
He said this very loudly and forcefully, so the people beside him could hear it. As a result, the expressions of the ministers who were sending them off changed. Allen nodded heavily and looked at Lucy and the other two women. He then passed Julian and led the army to the square formation in front of him.
