The city wall, nearly ten meters high, stands on the ground, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Large chunks of bluestone were exposed, telling the story of wind and rain. The soldiers on the city wall stood in a row with spears, and there were two soldiers patrolling back and forth next to them.

The city gate, nearly seven meters high and five meters wide, was blocked by a huge wooden board, and various fish were sometimes bubbling in a moat about six meters wide at the entrance.

It is boring to be on duty in the capital. Even other cities have not received any war reports, so enemies are even more unlikely to appear here, so today's soldiers on duty are a little listless on their faces.

Where to go to play tonight? I heard that a new casino has been opened in Xicheng... But Rose's tavern seems to be good... The young soldier was thinking in his mind.

"Hey, there is something in front!" The comrade next to him spoke to remind him.

"Huh?" He squinted his eyes and saw a black shadow slowly appear at the end of the road outside the city gate.

As time goes by, you can see that it is a neat team.

When the soldiers saw the eye-catching flag in front of the team, the soldiers suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Hey! The brave man is back!"

In fact, his shouting was a bit redundant, because the other soldiers had already focused on the flag before he shouted it out.

"It's a brave man!"

"There are many people coming back this time, maybe they won the battle, right?"

"Have you finally killed the Demon King?"

...

The soldiers discussed each other without any concealment and had begun to use today's dinner as a bet to guess whether the familiar people died on the battlefield.

"What's the noise?"

Until the chief shouted loudly, the soldiers finally calmed down, standing straight, as if nothing had happened.

"What's the noise? I don't want to eat dinner today, right?" the chief scolded loudly, "Why are you still standing there? Go and beat the gong!"

"yes!"

"Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—"

As the gongs on the city wall that were bigger than the hula hoop sounded, the people in the city raised their heads one after another, and then spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to make way for the soldiers who were about to go home.

At the same time, they also began to gossip each other.

"It must be the brave man who is back?"

"Well, it seems that it should be. I don't know if I've killed the Demon King this time."

"It's a bit difficult to tell me, after all, it's been so many years."

"On the other hand, it should have been killed after so many years, right?"

"That's hard to say, I'm more concerned about how many people died this time."

"Yes, the second son of the old Billy family also went to war this time, and I don't know if he got military merits."

...

Selena led the team to the city gate. The thick hemp rope on the wooden frame drove the wooden pulleys to slowly lower the heavy suspension bridge.

“Ghadagada…”

The horse's hooves stepped on the wooden board and made a crisp knock. After passing through the city gate that was about ten meters wide, they arrived on the inner city street.

This is a huge square city, with the main road about ten meters wide and various small stalls on both sides.

This road is the main road of the royal capital Hesler City, which leads straight from the city gate to the palace.

At this moment, the main road was filled with people, and he saluted the returned warriors with various expressions and eyes.

The moment Selena set foot on the main road, there were people cheering, some applauding, and some scolding.

Those who applaud are blessings; those who cheer are celebrations, those who scold... are those who have not seen their own relatives...

Two children who finally squeezed into the front looked at Selena riding a horse with longing eyes.

"So handsome!" The little boy looked admiring, "I want to join the brave team in the future!"

"Well, I want to be a person like a brave man too!" The little girl nodded, "Girls can also lead troops to fight with swords!"

The next moment, Selena, who had already passed by, seemed to hear the words of the two children, suddenly turned around and smiled at them, then raised her arms and clenched her fists.

The two children's eyes lit up and they raised their small fists.

…………

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Selena got off the horse, took her big sword off the saddle and carried it on her back. After explaining a few words to the people below, she took Lyon into the gate of the imperial city that was nearly twenty meters high.

The Imperial City of the Casg Empire is the only asymmetric building inside Hesler City. The left side is mostly composed of tower-shaped buildings, while the right side is basically square steep buildings.

As an excessive palace in the middle, there is no abrupt feeling at all, but it looks particularly natural.

Walking into the palace, there is a palace that is comparable to the size of a football field.

From both sides of the gate to the inside every ten meters, there is a pillar that two people hugged each other connecting the thirty-meter-high ceiling.

The walls are covered with all kinds of strange but natural murals. The sunlight shines in through colorful glass, adding a mysterious color to the entire palace.

A big red carpet, five meters wide, extends from the entrance to the throne more than one hundred meters deep.

There is a three-story split-level place here, allowing the throne to be higher.

The stone throne has a backrest nearly three meters high, and a large red curtain is covered with a spread on the throne.

Today, Selena and Lyon were allowed to enter on the red carpet. They moved forward at a constant speed. Under the silent gaze of the soldiers and ministers around them, they came not far away from the steps. They knelt on one knee, put their right fists at their heart, and bowed their heads to salute.

"Selina Aipaska (Lyon Raggs)! Report to you, Your Majesty!" the two said at the same time.

"Okay, get up!"

A vicissitudes of life but full of energy sounded from above, neither too fast nor too slow.

"Yes!" The two agreed, stood up and looked up at the king.

Abigail looked about forty years old, with long shoulder-length hair in the middle part, and a crown made of pure gold with various gems placed on most of the gray hair.

A robe with white background and gold edges covered his seemingly thin but still strong figure, and his three-dimensional facial features can illustrate his appearance when he was young.

The ministers around them looked at the two of them halfway, conveying information with each other like brain waves.

"Well... why didn't I see the Knight Gunn?" Abigail asked casually.

"Your Majesty, Knight Gern died heroically on the battlefield!" Selena replied.

"Sacrificed?" Abigail raised his eyebrows, "Knight Gun is your guardian knight and has rich experience in warfare. Why did he die?"

"He was too impulsive, and..."

"Selina," Abigail interrupted, "our war with the devil Dikao has lasted for five years. Over the past five years, Andrew, the last guardian knight, has lived well, but why did the Knight Gun suddenly die?"

"Your Majesty!" The Secretary of Military Affairs Judson next to him stood up and said, "I think there is something strange about this incident and it is worth checking in detail."

"Mr. Charles!" Lyon suddenly spoke, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not something you, the military minister who has never been on the battlefield, can understand."

"What does this mean?" Judson turned his head and said, "Are you doubting my decision?"

"I dare not..." Lyon took his ears with an impatient look, "It's just that he can't stand a decision that he imagines casually without understanding the actual situation."

"you……"

"Okay!" Abigail waved his hand gently, "Mr. Raggs, let me tell you the specific situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lyon lowered his head and agreed, "At that time, the brave and the demon king were hard to part with each other. The brave found the flaw and forced the demon king to retreat with a sword. At that time, the distance between the Knight Geen and the Demon King was less than five meters, and then the Knight Geen rushed over to cut the Demon King, but was sprayed with a huge fireball on his face."

"..." Abigail was silent for a few seconds, "That's it?"

"That's it!" Lyon nodded, "When the fireball exploded on the face of Knight Gern, the Demon King had fought with the Brave again, and Knight Gern was completely burned."

"It's simply nonsense!" Judson shook his hand suddenly, "The Gunn Knight has received rigorous training and has extremely rich practical experience! It's not that different from Andrew. How could he die in one move?"

"Mr. Charles!" Lyon looked contemptuous, "It's just that it's rich in practical experience, but our opponent is the Demon King, the Demon Clan! Do you use the experience of the Human Clan to deal with the Demon Clan? It's really just a theoretical school!"

"So that's the case! Then why has Andrew been fine for five years?" Judson asked.

"Your Majesty, this question..." Lyon lowered his head, "You will understand if you ask Andrew."

"Okay, then call him!"

...

With the emperor's order issued, a knight about 1.8 meters tall, a thin figure, wearing silver armor and carrying a big sword came to the palace.

He walked to Selena, took off his helmet, revealing a normal but resolute middle-aged face, and half-kneeled to salute.

"Andrew Flpard! Give me a favor to you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Abigail looked dull, "Mr. Raggs, you can answer the questions now."

"As for your order, your majesty!" Lyon turned his head to look at Judson, "Mr. Charles, please let Andrew tell you why he has been alive for five years."

"Because I have never attacked the Demon King!" Andrew looked at Judson and said, "Mr. Charles, the Demon King is not a human. He has huge strength and almost infinite physical strength, as well as scales that are hard enough to withstand swords and powerful flame magic! If I attack the Demon King, I will be torn apart in an instant!"

"It's simply nonsense!" Judson's face turned red, "As you said, don't we ever win the Demon King?"

"No, only the brave can fight against the Demon King!" Andrew's tone was still plain, "The brave's physique can fight against the Demon King. The brave's sword and armor are blessed by gods, and have the effect of restraining the demons."
