Chapter 15.1
The Kela River is not far from the border of the Golden Lion Kingdom, and it would have been possible to reach the royal city of St. Antis in one night. However, the movement of an army crossing the border would have been too great, and it would have been easy to alarm the people in other towns. Therefore, Oswald and his companions chose to take a long detour, which ultimately took twice as long.
Although the glory of the Golden Lion Kingdom is long gone, the shadow of its former prosperity can still be seen in the majestic palace.
This is perhaps one of the strangest terrains in the northern part of the mainland. The land is like giant pillars supporting umbrellas, each of varying heights, connected by wide and long horizontal bridges and cableways. The Wujin Hanging Palace rests quietly on the tallest pillar of God's Road.
The iron hinges creaked, and the gate of the hanging palace slowly lowered.
The Wujin Iron Cavalry did not enter the gate but turned their horses' heads and kicked, turning to the cableway on the left, which was connected to their legion base camp. The Xuangong guards trotted out in a row, stood on both sides of the gate, and "slapped" their legs together, which shocked Kevin completely.
Fassbinder, who is not afraid of death, is always calm and composed, even if he is tied to a flagpole to show to the public, he does not change his nature. Oswald had planned to put him down in the middle of the journey, but when he got off his horse, he found that the ancestor had no intention of introspection at all, and had already fallen asleep.
He was not completely defenseless in his sleep. When he heard Oswald approaching, he lifted half of his eyelids and glanced. After confirming his safety, he fell asleep again. After bouncing for a long time, he was removed from the flagpole.
Oswald does not know why, but he feels a strong urge to suppress Kevin whenever he sees his "it doesn't matter, anyway, you have nothing to do with me" attitude. Even though he knows that this is Kevin's nature, and he does not intend to anger anyone, Oswald cannot help but use various methods to suppress him. He just wants to make Kevin submit for a while. He does not take this kind of suppression seriously and always teases back like a cat teasing a dog.
He is used to this and does not think there is a problem, but in the eyes of others, it looks like a provocation.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to the camp first." Mi Ao pulled the reins and said to Oswald.
The base camp of the Bronze Army is opposite the Wujin Iron Cavalry, and another ropeway is connected to the giant pillar. There are twinkling lights in the night, and Kevin lived there before. However, it is said that he did not stay there for very long. Most of the time, the Bronze Army guarded the border between the west of the Golden Lion Kingdom and the desert, and only in the rainy season could they break out of camp and return to the king's city to rest for a while.
When Kevin heard what Mi Ao said, he relaxed and agreed: "Then I also—"
"What about you?" Oswald glanced at him and said calmly: "Your Excellency has not opened your eyes all the way, should you be full of sleep now?"
Kevin did not care and said, "I'll talk about whether I sleep or not. I'll put my foot down first. Mi Ao, are there any vacant berths in the camp?"
Of course, he would not expect that there would be a place for a "commander who had been dead for several years" to stay there, but there must still be places where people can sleep.
Mi Ao nodded, but Oswald cut off his words before he could speak. He raised his chin at the open palace gate and said: "It's another matter to settle down, get the punishment first, and come with me." After speaking, he tugged at the reins and rode a vulture into the gate of the Xuan Palace.
Kevin motioned for Mi Ao to go first and then drove the vehicle to catch up with Oswald. Angrily, he exclaimed, "Isn't it a punishment to be dragged around like a kite?"
