In the town below Fort Saint-Germain, the sun shines on the cobblestone road, reflecting a warm glow.
The nobles of the Golden Duchy's expedition were slowly entering the city gate. Their arrival seemed to bring an aura of iron-blooded majesty to the entire city.
A total of more than 300 heavily armored knights were lined up in neat rows. They rode on powerful war horses, and the sound of their horses' hooves was as shocking as thunder.
The armor on the knights shone with a cold light, demonstrating their noble status and fearless courage.
The roads were lined with cheering crowds, holding flags and flowers high, with reverence in their eyes.
The children ran happily in the crowd, their faces filled with excitement and joy.
They also waved the small flags in their hands and shouted blessings and praises to the triumphant knights.
The members of the Dragon's Breath Knights strictly followed Krober's orders and took out their hand-twisted salutes as soon as the team entered the city.
They skillfully manipulated these unique objects, lifting them high in the air, ready for the upcoming celebration.
The leading Marquis Frostwolf was full of curiosity about this thing he had never seen before, but the team was not in a position to stop now, so he suppressed his curiosity in his heart.
"Bang!"
“Bang bang!”
Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and looked towards the source.
I saw brilliant colors blooming from the hands of the Dragon Breath Knights, like a blooming flower, dazzling.
The cheers stopped abruptly, and people were immersed in this beautiful scene, unable to extricate themselves.
"What is this? It looks so beautiful!"
A businessman looked at the hand-twisted salute with a gleam in his eyes.
"This was invented by the Prime Minister. It's said to be specially designed for the Grand Duke and the expeditionary force. It's so gorgeous!"
The person who answered him was a young man from the town who was dressed simply. He was looking at the mighty expeditionary force with envy.
"It was invented by the Prime Minister..."
When the businessman heard this, he gave up the idea of buying in large quantities or even hiring someone to make it himself. It would not be worth it if he angered the big shot.
The expeditionary forces of the Golden Duchy were also shocked by this sudden scene.
However, they quickly came to their senses, and after learning that it was caused by the inconspicuous object held by the Dragon Breath Knights, their curiosity was aroused.
All of them are powerful earth knights and above, and each of them has keen hearing and perception.
Through conversations with civilians on both sides of the road, they learned that this thing was actually invented by Krober.
"That's good, Daniel. You have a wonderful grandson."
Even someone as calm as the Frostwolf Marquis couldn't help but sigh at Daniel's good luck. He got a grandson for free without paying anything.
And he is a very outstanding and promising grandson.
Byron Frostwolf had many descendants, but in such a big family, no one could compare to him.
"well……"
Look at other people’s children, who have already joined the senior ranks of the principality at such a young age. Whether in terms of strength or background, he deserves the title of “the strongest” of the younger generation.
"No, he is already much stronger than our generation now."
Marquis Frostwolf turned his attention to the expeditionary force and silently retracted his previous comment.
As the team slowly moved in, everyone walked to the largest square in the center of the town and waited.
Kroeber delivered a eulogy standing on a stage that had been set up long ago.
"Brave knights:
Today, let us gather here to celebrate the great moment of triumph!
Throughout the long battle, we demonstrated fearless courage and tenacious perseverance, fighting for glory and justice.
Our swords shine with victory, and our flags flutter in the wind.
We have conquered the enemy, defended our homeland, and brought peace and tranquility to our country and our people.
This is our honor and also our responsibility.
…
May our courage and unity always shine, and may our nation prosper!"
Looking at Krober speaking at the podium, everyone felt the erosion of some mysterious force.
"How can he be so talkative..."
"Yeah, he's been talking for about five minutes!"
A viscount spoke slowly at the end of the team.
This group of people only care about the fact that Krober talks for a long time, but they don't care about some of the things that are really worth caring about.
"Did you notice?"
As a fantasy beast knight who relies mainly on mental power, the Ghost Marquis can naturally discover the abnormalities in Grand Duke Veronica and Krober.
"Well... who wouldn't notice this? Anyone can see it."
It had been less than two days since they had separated from Grand Duchess Veronica. Why did the Grand Duchess look so good?
And Krober, although he looks fine, why does he feel so weak from the inside out?
Everyone has been through this before and has become more open-minded about this kind of thing.
But they still admired the courage of Kroeber.
They knew how terrifying the dragon knight's physical fitness was, and the word "comparable to a dragon" was the most appropriate description.
This is also the reason why male dragon knights usually find many underground lovers or female dragon knights.
King Alvis has many secret lovers.
If the male dragon knight is replaced by a female dragon knight...
When everyone thought of this, they all shuddered.
"Your grandson is incredibly talented, Daniel."
The speaker was Count Stephen, who had been unable to understand how Kroeber had caught the Grand Duke's eye.
But now he understood.
To be disrespectful, marrying an Archduke is also risky...
Daniel covered his face and could only force a smile at his companions around him.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a family trait."
"Hahaha."
Everyone has lived for so many years that this kind of thing is no longer surprising. You have to know that the private lives of most nobles are much more decadent than this.
They were discussing this just to liven up the atmosphere.
Generally speaking, the way to quickly build closer relationships, especially between men, is to make some dirty jokes and have fun.
And now Kroeber has both of these.
After the eulogy, Krober walked off the stage, and then Grand Duchess Veronica was responsible for awarding rewards to the heroes of this war.
"I have witnessed everyone's bravery in this war, so I will reward each of you with 10,000 gold coins as a token of my appreciation.
After that, a knight who kills three enemies of the same level or thirty enemies of a lower level on the battlefield will be rewarded with a piece of gem equipment."
According to the laws of the Golden Duchy, nobles who participated in wars could privately possess the spoils without having to hand them over.
Originally, everyone had made a lot of money on this trip.
Now Grand Duchess Veronica is rewarding everyone out of her own pocket, which makes them excited again.
