Chapter 40 Davian’s way of greeting
After the strong wind stopped raging, the journey of Tyron Locke and his party finally became much smoother. Adilla also rearranged her messed up long hair on horseback.
At this moment, a rapid and orderly sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. The sound came from behind the hillside in front. "Could it be that Caledo is carrying out a military operation? This number is not like the welcoming team at all." A long-term military
veteran Experience allowed Adira to roughly estimate the number of people in front of them. There should be four to five hundred people. This number was equivalent to the number of people welcoming the Phoenix King for an unofficial visit. She was just a princess, and Caledo would not take it so seriously.
So he ordered the people behind to get closer to the mountains and give way to the people on the opposite side. If the people on the opposite side were an army composed of dragon princes, given their character, Adila could not guarantee what would happen if they stood in front of them.
As she waited, the first thing that came into her eyes was Caledor's fire dragon flag, which confirmed her thoughts. This is a long-standing battle flag that can give the soldiers fighting under it the energy of a dragon. As well as fire resistance, it is often used as a symbol of the dragon lord's expedition.
But something strange followed. The person holding the fire dragon flag was wearing the Dragon Prince's iconic dragon helmet, but the cavalry behind was something she had never seen before, with thick breastplates and helmets and tassels. He took off his helmet, and what covered his limbs was not the armor commonly used by Asul, but a whole piece of plate armor. He held a silver-white lance and a fire dragon shield in his hand, and hung an armor-breaking cavalry hammer on his waist.
"Is this Caledo's new army?" As people continued to appear from the hillside, Adila became more determined on this idea, five hundred well-equipped and sharp-looking cavalry.
Tyron Locke also needs to change. This idea appeared in Adira's mind for the first time. She had had enough of the nobles with private soldiers. As a princess, she wanted to mobilize a standing army of 500 people at a time. Not an easy task.
Moreover, when dealing with the Druzi army landing from Nagaris, support from other kingdoms is often needed, and mutual testing will waste many rare fighter opportunities.
But Caledo could mobilize a newly formed cavalry of 500 people with a random military action.
Just as they were thinking about this, the team led by the Dragon Prince gradually approached. They did not slow down. Instead, they were as easy as arms and fingers on the rugged mountains like plains.
The expected disregard did not appear. When he was only four or five meters away and about to pass by, Davian pulled the reins of the war horse and stopped urgently. For the elf war horse, this action was simply a piece of cake. The people behind him also made the same move, and Davian didn't seem to worry about running into him at all.
Looking at the person holding the fire dragon flag in front of her, Adira felt that she seemed a bit familiar.
But before Adila could think about it, Davian had already spoken, "Princess Adila, I am Davian, the prince's personal guard. I have been ordered to welcome you to the Dragon Palace this time."
When he said this , Davian’s words are quite polite, as long as you don’t care about his arrogant tone and greet him personally, you will be extremely lucky.
Adira, who knew the character of the Dragon Prince, didn't care too much. Compared with Imrik's poisonous tongue, Davian was considered normal.
"Excuse me, Sir Davian. This visit was sudden and there was no prior communication with the Dragon Palace." "
No problem, the Dragon Palace welcomes anyone to come and see the glory of Caledor."
After that, some people were allowed to go. When he reached the rear of Tyron Locke's team, he turned around and continued walking at the lead.
Looking at Davian's back, Adira thought that this person might be Imric No. 2, as he sounded similar to him no matter how he spoke.
The group of people began their journey in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range again. The escort team of 500 people made those in the middle feel extremely at ease.
At the same time, on the Dragon Claw Throne, Imric listened to Maurice's report to him and put down the letter written to him by High Priest Ardaeus.
"What! Davian took the five hundred people to greet Adila."
Morris, who was standing next to him, wiped the cold sweat on his face. This was something he had not expected. It was serious enough. Military command errors.
Without clear instructions from either the prince or Randy, he took a team of 500 people and ran out of the station without permission. If he was held accountable, Davian might be deprived of his status as the Dragon Prince.
Imric also knew the seriousness of this matter. He rubbed his temples and felt a headache. It was impossible for him to let Davian go. He still has three barbarian skill points that he has not added, and his potential is extremely huge. However, if no punishment is imposed, the tradition of establishing a country through military force will be broken because of him alone, and other dragon princes will also question his authority as a prince. and justice.
"Ask Davian to come see me first when he comes back, and Bruni. You take Princess Adira to the side hall to stay first. I will receive her personally tomorrow."
Punishment must be made, and Bruni, too. A serious breach of responsibility.
.........
Entering the gate of Kalede, he found that General Manager Morris had been standing there waiting for a long time. The sweat on his face and the anxious expression made Davian immediately think of what happened, and he felt a chill in his heart. .
The five hundred men he brought with him were the direct line troops of the prince. In name, only the prince had the right to mobilize. Although he had some command power as a personal guard, this power was very vague, ranging from one to dozens of people, but Take away five hundred at a time...
At this time, Morris hurriedly walked up to Davian and said, "Davian, the prince is already waiting for you, and Bruni is in the palace."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Davian. In response, he walked to Princess Adila in the back, and first performed an impeccable courtesy, and the expression on his face returned to normal, "Your Royal Highness Princess Adila, the prince is unable to receive you in the palace today because of something urgent. , I will take you to the Dragon's Breath Palace. Please rest there for one night. Please forgive me for being rude."
As a guest, Adira nodded. This is considered etiquette. The only dragon tamer family is Etila. Mrik was alone, and the palace supervisor was the best receptionist in an emergency. "Please lead the way."
Davian, with a sad look on his face, first asked the cavalry behind him to return to the training ground, and then rode alone, slowly Tun rushed to the dragon's palace, knowing that he would be severely punished this time.
Still sitting on the familiar Dragon Claw Throne, looking at Bruni kneeling in front of him, the Dragon Prince remained silent with a cold face. He had been kneeling here for half an hour, but the Prince still treated him as if he did not exist and dealt with what he was doing. thing.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the palace, and a huge wailing echoed in the empty space, "Your Highness, I took people to greet Princess Adila in compliance with your order. You did not explain clearly. The number of people, for the sake of Caledor's face, I took them all."
Davian, who hurriedly ran to the throne, was wailing, and saw the cold-faced Imrik on the throne, and the single man next to him. Bruni, who was kneeling on his knees, also knew what was going on.
Immediately, he knelt down on one knee and murmured, "Your Highness, don't I want to give those Tyranlocks a little bit of Caledor shock? I don't have a dragon partner, and His Highness Minas Nir is not willing to bring one." I have no choice but to think of this method."
Looking at this living treasure, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally cold face, "According to you, is it my fault?"
Seeing the prince's face, Sneering, Husky immediately shuddered, "No, no, it's my fault."
Looking at the two of them a little speechlessly, Bruni lowered his head, but his keen senses could still hear that he was suppressing a smile, while Davian, the living treasure, had an expression on his face that a little woman had been abandoned.
Sighing, he stopped letting them kneel, "Get up."
After hearing the order, Bruni and Davian stood up. Bruni knew that the prince had calmed down, and at most he only made some formal gestures. Punishment will not actually deprive you of your noble status.
Kadaweian, a stupid young man, didn't know and was still chattering.
Imrik, who couldn't bear it anymore, angrily yelled, "Shut up, if you keep talking, I will let you go to Avalon to dance with those princesses next year." He shrunk his
neck at the threat of the prince. When Prince Shaolong came back from Avalon, everyone looked sluggish and pale. During the internal competition, some people couldn't even hold their lances steadily.
After asking, they said that the maids of Avalon held a farewell party for the Dragon Prince, which lasted for seven days and seven nights. When they came back by boat, they heard that their legs were shaking. Davian did not want to experience such a life.
