Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Now that he met Alori, Milin ended this journey that was more like a patrol than an expedition.

Of course, another reason is that except for these Asele mercenaries who were temporarily transferred to bandits and were taken away by Milin in a wave, the area around the imperial capital is relatively safe.

Even if there are some robbers, they can only be regarded as thieves. There are basically no robbers who can occupy an area and collect tolls.

Unlike the smooth journey out of the city, Milin's troops encountered a little trouble on their way back.

Although the local administrative chief's ban on bringing his soldiers into the imperial capital has long been in vain, it is still a design after all.

The town guards guarding the city gate stopped Milin's troops for this reason.

Milin, who was riding on the horse, looked down at the city gate guard who had the courage to stop him but did not have the courage to look at him, and asked in a playful tone:

"I can't go in?"

"Yes, yes, Master... you need... to place your... troops in the military... military camp, not... far... from..."

The city gate guard responsible for negotiating with Milin stammered.

"Is that so?" Milin raised his head and looked at a caravan that entered the door first.

The caravan, which seemed to be larger than the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce, was guarded by three-digit mercenaries, and these mercenaries did not encounter too many inspections just like when the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce entered the city before.

In other words, it is not that those who carry force are prohibited from entering, but that officials like Yonebayashi are prohibited from leading troops into the imperial capital.

Milin withdrew his gaze and looked again at the guard who was shaking like chaff because he didn't reply.

"What if I have to enter?" Milin asked, knowing clearly that if these guards dared to stop him, someone would be obstructing them.

"Then... then you need to get permission from your Majesty... His Majesty, or Mr. Ba... Pahlavi." Perhaps he was too frightened, but the city gate guard gradually became less stuttering in his words.

"Pahlavi?" Milin completely ignored the existence of Queen Gaia in his words.

"Swordsman Tower?" Lapland, who had been quarreling with Alori, came over and asked in a low voice, while making a striking gesture.

Lapland, who once followed the Wise Wolf Chamber of Commerce as a mercenary, has not seen this kind of scene before.

Part of it was the local lord's deliberate attempt to make things difficult, and part of it was the city gate guards' own desire to get in trouble.

No matter which one, it will make a mercenary like Lapland very unhappy.

It's just that Holo was pressuring me before, so I could only endure my discomfort.

Now, whether it's this Lapland or another Lapland, I don't think Milin is the kind of person who can endure it.

"Yes, yes, you can enter the city only...as long as you have Lord Pahlavi's permission..." the city gate guard said.

"e...that's the case." Milin's face became more playful.

Just as Lapland predicted, whether these city gate guards stopped him came from the tentative instructions of Pahlavi or Queen Gaia, or from other senators and nobles, they planned to use this method to attract Milin and Conflict between the Pahlavis.

Or maybe a bit of both.

For example, I noticed that some people made such small moves, but the Queen or Pahlavi did not stop them.

This does not prevent Milin from spoiling these guys.

However, Milin did not signal Lapland to do anything, but directly ignored the city gate guards who blocked him, and controlled the war horse to walk towards the city gate.

"? Wait...wait a moment..." Seeing Milin trying to force his way through the city gate, the city gate guard quickly came over and tried to pull the reins of the horse.

However, the city gate guard stopped as soon as he stretched out his hand. He discovered that the pure white horse Milin was riding did not have any reins or saddles and stirrups to assist with control.

Before the city gate guard could become confused, Alori, who was still dressed as a human tank, walked up to him, grabbed the collar of the opponent's armor with one hand, and threw the gate guard into the urn like a chicken.

When they saw the city gate guards blocking Milin and his party, they were thrown away.

Someone on the city wall immediately shouted:

"Cut the chains! Close the gates!"

Following this shout, the guard in the mechanism room inside the city wall immediately picked up the battle ax specially designed to deal with such situations, and cut off the chain on the mechanism in front of him.

Losing the shackles of the chain and having not been used for a long time, the metal-wrapped gate fell in front of Milin with a rumble.

The caravans and residents who were queuing up to enter the city dispersed after seeing this scene.

Because according to the normal routine, when the gate is lowered, the crossbowmen guarding the city wall will also point their strung crossbows at the outside of the city.

Just when the guards had just loaded up their crossbows, they found that the caravans and residents who were supposed to run as far as they could ran didn't move any more.

To be precise, it's not that he didn't move anymore, but that after wandering for a while, his attention was attracted by another, more exaggerated thing.

Although it was just hardwood wrapped in steel rather than actual pure metal, the gate weighing more than ten tons did not hit the ground as designed.

Instead, Alori raised his hand and carried it in the air.

The huge exchange of power caused Alori's outermost armor to crack, revealing the fully wrapped plate armor underneath.

Unlike the Michelin tire armor worn by Milin in order to reduce weight while ensuring defense, the armor worn by Alori actually relies on thickness to increase defense.

I don't know if he was angry because his armor was damaged. Alori, who was holding the gate, said "Hi" and then pushed it up hard.

There was a loud "boom", and the gate that was pushed back from the original path seemed to be stuck somewhere and did not continue to fall.

Milin, who was very satisfied with this scene, nodded and patted the shoulder of Lapland beside him, waking him up from his sluggish state.

"This... this..." Lapland, who came back to his senses, also stuttered like the city defense guard just now.

In other words, everyone present, except Milin and the expressionless system soldiers, were in a state similar to Lapland.

Compared to others who just lamented whether Alori was still a human being, Lapland was much more nervous.

You must know that along the way, Lapland never stopped bickering with Alori, and every time it was Lapland who provoked him first.

Alori was able to maintain a "friendly interaction" with Lapland instead of hammering Lapland into a Laplander. Lapland felt that he should be grateful to Alori for not killing him.

The inner city gate that was supposed to be closed at the same time as the gate fell was only half closed.

The guard responsible for closing the city gate felt that even if he closed the city gate, it would be of little use.

Similar to this mood, there are also the guards on the walls of Wengcheng holding powerful crossbows.

No one stopped him, or no one dared to stop him anymore. Milin led his troops and walked into the imperial capital unhurriedly.

"Ask Pahlavi to give me the permit. He knows where I live."

When all Milin's troops entered the city, the caravans and residents who gradually recovered from the shock also planned to follow them into the city.

The gate weighing more than ten tons fell with a bang.
