Alien Knights

Chapter 295: Return of the King

Griffon Henry soared above the Falling Star Mountains. The steep ridges, the dangerous swamps, and the towering snow peaks all became unobstructed flat ground under its shoulder-to-shoulder figure.

   Listening to the sound of the wind whizzing past his ears, feeling the tremendous pressure on his face, Todd lay on Henry's back, and wanted to sing in a happy mood.

   This kind of indescribable feeling belongs to those wanderers who have traveled for ten years and set foot on the way home. The closer they are to home, the stronger it becomes.

   This high-altitude journey lasted eleven hours. After stopping twice to rest, with the third take-off, one person and one bird quickly approached the border of the Western Kingdom.

   Watch Fort, Silver Ring City, Northstone Fortress, these familiar locations passed by Todd's eyes one by one, and finally, in his field of vision, star-studded villages and houses appeared.

   Todd patted Henry on the neck and shouted happily, "This is the Kingdom of Muxi! This is my kingdom!"

   The latter uttered a loud chirp, flapping its wings faster, and flew towards the distant city.

   Sitting on the back of the Griffon, Todd looked down. The endless buildings on the ground made him secretly startled.

It has only been half a year since the surrounding area has gathered so many immigrants. It has flown all the way from the border, almost ten kilometers, and Muxicheng has not yet arrived. However, the housing community in the immigrant area outside the city is getting denser and occasionally. You can see open-air theaters, parks, entertainment streets, markets, and other functional buildings that can only be seen in ordinary towns.

   flew forward for more than a minute. The buildings became taller and taller, and the facades became more luxurious. Densely densely populated residents shuttled through the streets, like a gurgling river, rushing endlessly.

   The city of Twilight West City is already in sight.

   A huge castle under repair stands on the hills of the royal city; countless luxurious buildings are scattered in the center of the city.

   Todd told Henry in the soul space that he could lower the height.

   Griffon folded its wings slightly, tilted its body, and flew quickly toward the city underneath.

   Suddenly, a deafening alarm sounded in Muxi City. People looked at the silhouettes swooping down in the sky, screaming and noisy hiding into the nearest building.

   Fully armed soldiers lined up from the post, set up a shield formation, erected a spear, and tightened the bowstring in the direction where the Griffin landed.

   Todd, riding a Griffon dive to the ground, suddenly realized that he had forgotten an extremely important thing.

   Before leaving, he actually forgot to inform the officials of West Side, that he would return today...

   hurriedly ordered Henry to stop diving, spread his wings, and raise the height. One person and one bird began to hover in the air.

   Todd immediately entered the soul space, called Cumberland and Hudgens, and asked them to order the army to immediately release the guard and withdraw the weapon.

   A few minutes later, the frantic Cumberland rushed all the way from the Knights’ headquarters to Muxi Square, riding a war horse. While waving his whip, he loudly ordered all the soldiers to line up.

   Hudgens arrived second. He was injured and unable to ride a horse. He asked his subordinates to drive a carriage and rush to the square at the fastest speed. After getting off the bus, he hurriedly arranged for government officials to clear the field as soon as possible, and transferred to the Kingdom Guard of Honor.

   The residents hiding around saw the strange scene in front of them, they were curious and talked a lot. The bold, even ran out of the building, hiding on the edge of the square, looking up at the monster in the sky.

   Ten minutes later, Todd, who was hovering in the air on a griffon, saw that everything was ready below, which made Henry slowly descend and finally landed in the center of the square.

  A sharp-eyed person recognized Todd's identity and exclaimed excitedly: "It's the Son! It's the Son who rides on the monster!"

   After confirming the identity of the visitor, the residents of Twilight City rushed to tell each other, the news immediately spread through the city like wings.

   The entire King City is boiling, wharves, workshops, markets, pubs... People walked out of all kinds of places, gathered into a huge stream of people, and flocked to Muxi Square.

   Watching Todd roll over and come down from the Griffin, Cumberland first stared at the legendary beast in a daze, and then at the tanned and fur-wrapped king. For a while, he was speechless and didn't know what to say.

   Huggins was busy commanding soldiers and subordinates, trying his best to maintain order in the square.

   Todd looked around the familiar and unfamiliar scene around him, laughed and said, "I'm back!"

   Two hours later, the citizen's large bath.

  Soaking in the wide expanse of the bath, enjoying the temperature from the hot water, the fatigue of the whole body seems to overflow with the pores.

   Todd let out an enjoyable admiration: "A long time ago, I wanted to book a bath by myself. Today I finally got my wish."

   An abrupt voice destroyed his rare and wonderful time: "Your Majesty, I am afraid I still want to remind you that there are hundreds of officials waiting for you outside the door."

   Todd squinted at Hudgens sitting on the bench, and shouted angrily: "You can also go outside and wait for me. Do you have to sit here and watch me take a shower?!"

   "Of those officials in the kingdom, I'm worried that you won't say a word again... stab..." Hudgens made a running motion with his hands, tilted his head and smiled: "You understand."

   Todd shook his head helplessly, turned his face to the ceiling, and said softly: "Let's say, what happened to the kingdom during the time I was away?"

"Well, let me think about it, your palace has been basically completed, Muxi Cathedral is currently being topped out, the farmland in the immigration area has received a bumper harvest, and nearly a thousand administrative personnel have been recruited for the official examination. Great progress has been made in scientific and technological research..."

   Todd interrupted Huggins with a wave of his hand: "You should know that I don't want to hear about these things."

Huggins sighed: "Just last month, the North Islanders broke out in a civil war. The cause was the distribution of trade profits between the tribes, which later evolved into an all-out war for dominance. Including the claw tribe and the black skull. Hundreds of North Island tribes in the tribe participated in this battle. Some members of the North Island Knights left the army and returned to their respective tribes. The successor scouts are now investigating the details of the situation, so this matter is not There was no discussion at the meeting."

   Todd frowned and asked, "What's the opinion inside the kingdom?"

"The military faction headed by Lord Cumberland~lightnovelpub.net~ hopes to use force to intervene in this civil strife. The ultimate goal is to conquer the North Island tribe and incorporate them into the Kingdom of Musee; Lord Emerson’s Privy Council hopes Use diplomacy to alleviate the contradictions between the various tribes of the North Island, and promote compromise and agreement among the various forces. Within the kingdom, the number of supporters of these two plans is about 50% to 50%."

   Todd closed his eyes: "Both methods have problems in terms of feasibility... Anything else?"

   "With regard to Silver Ring City, during the process of cleaning and rebuilding, we found some important things, you should check it out if you have the opportunity."

   lazily hmm, Todd snorts with his nose: "If I have time, I will go, is that all?"

   "Just the day before yesterday, Pope Alexander sent a public letter..."

   Todd opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the water, looked at Huggins and said solemnly, "What did he say?!"

   "The church claimed to initiate a mediation, ordering the Kingdom of Muxi to sell Silver Ring, allowing it to be incorporated into the territory of the Holy Acropolis, as a reward for the latter's heroic resistance to the northern barbarians."

   "A bunch of shameless bastards!"

   Hudgens shrugged: "The envoys of the Holy Acropolis, arrived in Muxicheng a week ago."

   With an angry expression on his face, Todd sneered, "Are you in such a hurry to receive the site?"

   A strange look appeared on Hudgens' face, and Todd was puzzled by what he said.

  The envoys of the Holy Acropolis are here to ask you for help.
