Two days later, Roland Wimbledon's fleet arrived at the docks of Chishui City.

Count Delta, who had already received the news, took it very seriously, and not only sent someone to clean the dock from the inside out, but also hung silk and bunting in conspicuous places. On the day of his arrival, he personally led the people out of the city gate and greeted them in the suburbs, and his attitude was much more enthusiastic than when the First Army visited before.

As the great nobles of the Central Region, George Narry and Guy Julian were naturally among the welcoming queues.

I have to say that the pomp and circumstance of the new king is really eye-catching, it is not the first time that George has seen the steel ship named after the fourth prince, but it is still shocking to see it again after more than half a year. The stone boats neatly arranged in the back are much more than the last time, and their snow-white chimneys blend with the thick smoke, like a column of optimus pillars. When the warrior in the uniform of the same color walked down the dock, he couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in his heart - if the Panshi family also had such an army to serve him, let alone Chishui City, even the throne in the palace of the royal capital was not impossible to look forward to.

"This fool really doesn't know how to open up," George chirped, "when I was in the royal capital five or six years ago, he was obviously the most unbearable one, not to mention compared with several eldest sons, and even his milky sister looked like him. ”

"Doesn't this mean that the fourth prince is the one who hides the deepest," Count Mikawa shrugged, "It is not a fool to stand out from the frontier and develop to the point where he is today." Remember to change your smile and try to show your enthusiasm later. ”

"Of course I know," replied George disapprehantly, "that with a member of the royal family as an opponent, even if he is a fool, I will do my best, and you need not worry about that." ”

"That's fine. ”

At this moment, a loud trumpet sounded in the direction of the docks, and there was a commotion in the crowd - you don't have to look to know that the Westside, or the new king of the Grey Castle, Roland Wimbledon, has appeared.

"How's your preparation going?" asked George quietly.

"Fifty-one people have already entered," said Guy, pretending to be looking forward to His Majesty's arrival, without looking back, "in two days, and the rest will be arranged." ”

"It's about the same on my side," he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It seems that there is still a surplus of time, and this is even more certain." ”

He and Guy had many discussions about Roland's actions after entering Chishui City, and the most likely one was to reach an agreement with the lord Count Delta first, and then announce the news of recovering the power of the feud - after all, Chishui is a big city, and there are many nobles with territories around it, so it can't be as quick as Willow Leaf Town.

Considering Delta's indecisive nature, this decision would probably require him tossing and turning for two or three days to make, plus waiting for the news to spread, and the time for the other nobles to ferment, enough for them to quietly fill in a few new secret passages with sufficient manpower.

Rushing into the castle at the sound of the midnight bell would render the Powder weapon useless – and with sheer numerical superiority and favorable terrain, Roland Wimbledon would have been unable to fly.

"He's coming," Guy reminded.

George immediately put on a smile and moved forward—the first row of the line was the lord's family members, and the second row was the turn of the great nobles.

The Count of Delta was by the side of the new king, introducing the greeter with a flattering face. Seeing his round face that was almost invisible from smiling, and his double chin that kept shaking, George felt a feeling of disgust in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, when Tifeko led his army through Chishui City, the lord was also flattering the second prince.

"Your Majesty, this is the master of Panshi Ridge, Count George Nary. Delta finally walked up to him.

"Salute you, Your Majesty," said George, with his right hand on his chest, bending down deeply, and in the most enthusiastic tone, "Panshiling is rich in the most mellow tea and fruit wine, and it will be my honor if you would like to enjoy it." ”

"Really?" Roland's response was a little unexpected, "where is your territory?"

At this time, shouldn't you say that you have received your heart and will visit it when you have time?" but he quickly replied, "Just east of Chishui City—two miles east from here, the first mountain you see is the territory of the Nari family. ”

"It sounds like the scenery should be good, I hope you can cherish it," the new king said with a smile as he patted him on the shoulder.

What does it mean?

George frowned secretly, and said as he was, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

There were no surprises, and when everyone had seen Roland, the Count of Delta announced that a great dinner would be held at the Lakeside Lodge tonight, and then ordered the knights to open the way ahead and escort the king into the city.

Everything was as he had planned, if not better—the new king's army did not swarm into Chishui City, but set up camp in the outer dock area, with Roland alone in a convoy of less than a hundred men. After staying in the castle like this, it is estimated that there are only about 20 people who can stay by the bedroom at all times.

The result is a foregone conclusion.

But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy, and Roland's smile didn't seem to be smiling at him...... However, he couldn't say the specific meaning, but he felt an inexplicable chill lingering in his heart.

George shook his head, suppressing all the distractions in his mind, perhaps just looking at the mismatch, he thought to himself, even if the other party had any ideas, the moment he entered the castle, it would be in vain—when the new king fell into his hands, he might as well talk to him about today's events.

At that time, he will no longer have to bend his flattery, and the other party should not be in the mood to show such a strange smile.

The night arrived as scheduled.

All the townspeople knew that the last prince of the royal family of Wimbledon was now in Chishui City, and he was most likely the king of the entire Grey Keep, so the city was like a festival. The vast inner city is brightly lit, and even more so the lakeside lodge, which has long been a place to entertain distinguished guests, with the ballroom built on a large lake connected to the Chishui River, supported by the trunks of dozens of hundred-year-old larch, and led to the shore by a trestle-like corridor, where you can even see the living water.

In order to please the new king, the Count of Delta spared no effort to bring all the seasonal delicacies in the surrounding area to the table, some of which even George had never seen.

But his mind wasn't on eating.

In addition to keeping an eye on Roland Wimbledon's actions, the nobles who are close to the Lord of Chishui City are also the focus of his attention.

When the new king appeared in the banquet hall, he couldn't help but frown.

The people who followed Roland were all women.
