early morning.

Balder woke up to the sound of the whistle.

After greeting his companion lying next to him, he sat up and put on his cotton coat.

The serf life at the beginning was quite accustomed to, and it seemed to be much more comfortable than the previous life in the army.

Because it was winter, the wheat in the fields was in hibernation and there was not much farm work to do.

Still, they had to be there.

Walking out of the dormitory, the cold wind took away all my sleepiness, and I lined up according to my usual positions.

"Stand at attention! Stand at ease!

Everyone, cheer up, you are farming for His Highness Bai Yan. Think about the freedom His Highness Bai Yan promised you, and you should protect His Highness's food. . . . "

Just like yesterday, the leader gave a long and passionate speech before leading them towards the farmland.

"Did you see the notice over there in the square?"

Along the way, several leaders walked excitedly towards the square.

"I heard that His Highness Bai Yan is going to occupy the Dawn Fortress, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"How could it be false? Knight Grey posted the notice himself. Does this mean that His Highness is planning a rebellion?"

"Hey, this empire should have rebelled long ago!! I just didn't expect the leader to be His Highness Bai Yan, who is a member of the royal family."

"So what? His Highness Bai Yan is different from those guys. This world should belong to him."

Listening to the voices of several subjects, Balder was shocked beyond words.

Dawn Fortress, a fortress with 30,000 soldiers, guarding the gateway to the southern part of the Exash Empire, was conquered by Black Iron Fortress, which had a total population of only about 50,000?

Although the Empire does not pay much attention to the defense here due to the obstruction of the Dark Forest, the Dawn Fortress is still unmatched by any small city.

Balder walked with an unnatural gait, not because of the grief over the destruction of his home, but rather a sense of relief and excitement over his turn of events.

Sebastian has never been a good count. Under his rule, the people of Dawn Fortress were starving and cold.

In comparison, it would be more appropriate to say that it was His Highness Bai Yan who liberated the Dawn Fortress.

Yes! Balder nodded at him.

It was liberation!! Just like he liberated Black Iron Castle.

As he thought of this, Balder imagined his wife begging for food in the cold wind, and tears welled up in his eyes.

It's all going to pass.

Compared to Balder's excitement, the atmosphere in Dawn Fortress was completely opposite.

It was dead silent and people were in panic.

The news that Sebastian's entire army was wiped out soon spread back to the city.

In order to cover up Alicia's existence, Bai Yan deliberately blew up the forest.

The earth was churning and blood was everywhere. As for the broken limbs and bodies, they were hurriedly burned together.

Although it is a bit crude, it is more or less reasonable in this alien world where the technology tree is still a sapling.

The whole army was annihilated and burned on the spot.

When people hear these words, they will inevitably conjure up an image of a cruel and ruthless demon.

When the news first reached the fortress, all the wealthy nobles, big and small, fled.

But the subjects are different, they are the subjects of Dawn Fortress, and other places will not take in refugees like them.

With nowhere else to go, they could only pray and hope that the so-called Great Demon King Baiyan would punish them more leniently.

Since they have already started a war, the two sides are in a hostile relationship.

Since ancient times, when one side is defeated, its fate is like stepping into hell.

The men were forced to work as slaves, carrying rocks and moving mountains; the women suffered an even more miserable fate.

On that day, no more smoke rose from the Dawn Fortress, no more laughter was heard, and no more bells rang.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the south gate from time to time. There, the gate that should have been closed was now completely open.

As if welcoming their new master, the place beneath the high walls seemed both small and spacious, spacious enough to accommodate thousands of troops.

As the sun rotated, orange-red clouds appeared on the horizon, and looking in the direction of the city gate, a team of soldiers seemed to be rushing towards the Dawn Fortress like a surging river.

The sound of the soles of the feet hitting the ground was like thunder and drums, and it seemed to shake the souls of the people in their ears, and their uneasiness grew.

Is it finally here?

Everyone stood on both sides of the street in a daze, staring blankly at this strange army entering the Dawn Fortress.

What kind of army is this!?

Everyone held their heads high and looked forward, their steps were in unison, and their high spirits were etched on every determined face.

The citizens of Dawn Fortress just watched as an army entered their "home".

Among the people on both sides, a woman with a vicissitudes of life was looking at the soldiers passing by with sorrow. Beside her were two children, a boy and a girl.

The woman's name was Amy, and she was the wife of Balder, who worked as a serf in Black Iron Castle.

In her heart, she already believed that her husband, Balder, had died in the battle with the army in front of her.

But when looking at the "murderers" who killed her husband, there was no hatred on Amy's face.

All she has in mind now is how to survive with her two children in the days ahead.

The army entered, the city gates remained open, and finally, at nightfall, it welcomed its most distinguished guest.

Bai Yan sat in a carriage pulled by oxen and horses, leaning against the window sill, watching everything outside the window quietly.

Alicia, who was standing next to her, was right between Iris's white rock. Her face was slightly red because of Bai Yan's subtle physical contact. There was a provocative and complacent look in her eyes as she looked at Iris.

But Iris just sat there quietly, her face still dull, pursing her lips from time to time.

The three of them sat on one side, looking a little crowded.

As for the seat opposite, it was of course empty.

"Your Highness, where are you going first?" Gray's voice came from the front desk of the carriage.

"Of course it's the square." Bai Yan looked at a little girl on the side of the road and smiled at her.

The little girl also gave Bai Yan a sweet smile, but then she was hugged by a woman with a weathered face, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Alas~" Bai Yan retracted his gaze and sighed softly, "If I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid no one will have a good sleep."

Then, this magnificent carriage pulled by four ox-horses slowly moved towards the square of the Dawn Fortress in the gazes of all the subjects.

It was not until this time that the gate of Dawn Fortress was closed by the soldiers of Black Iron Castle, making the city wall indestructible again.

. . .

After sitting in the car for a whole day, I felt very carsick.

Thanks to Sad 123 and Youth is not a Gift of Lotus. Thanks for the support. I didn’t expect that someone would still read it before I recommended it. . . I still keep following it. I cried to death.

Stable update tomorrow, two more updates
