Pioneer Lord: A Leisurely Imperial Life

Chapter 332 A Nice Hug

The autumn wind swept down from the snow-capped mountain peaks, passing over the tall city walls of Chiffon City, causing the golden-and-black-patterned storm banner on the city wall to flutter loudly.

Outside the south gate of the city, more than two thousand soldiers stood in formation.

Five hundred Chiffon Guards rode unicorns on either side, clad in ice star armor and carrying Neptune greatswords.

Behind them, hundreds of city defense soldiers stood tall, wearing the first-generation armor discarded by the Imperial Guard.

The steel armor and double-edged greatsword, though not as ornate as the Ice Star Armor, were equally imposing.

At the very back were more than a thousand servants, clad in standard leather armor and with finely forged long swords at their waists, arranged in neat square formations.

At the forefront of the formation were Karl and Dayun, while Rock Armor Earth Dragon was specially armed in full gear, with a specially modified sword blade that gleamed in the light.

The entire chiffon cake troupe fell silent, the atmosphere solemn.

Just then, Da Yun seemed to sense something, raised its huge head high, and let out a deafening roar!

Roar--!

The sound was like a signal, and the more than two thousand soldiers present looked up at the sky at the same time. They saw the clouds churning and five white flames suddenly falling from the sky.

On the back of the lead unicorn, a tall figure sat facing the wind, the hem of his trench coat fluttering in the air.

Karl saw the face clearly and drew his Kaiyang Sword with a clang.

"Chiffon cake!"

More than two thousand longswords were drawn simultaneously, their sword light forming a blinding white beam that shot straight into the sky.

"Chiffon cake!!"

The legion's roar was as orderly as thunder, its sound waves sweeping over the city walls, over the banners, and over the entire city of Chiffon!

Five unicorns landed on the open ground in front of the army formation. Richard reined in the unicorns, glanced at the soldiers with swords raised on both sides, and nodded slightly.

Karl stepped forward, pounding his chest with his right fist: "Welcome back, Lord!"

Richard smiled.

yes...

Finally home!

With a gentle spur, the unicorn strode forward, slowly walking along the passageway in the center of the army towards the city gate.

Freya followed closely behind.

She looked at the soldiers nearby, but the soldiers were staring with fervor at the tall figure at the front, until he disappeared into the shadows of the city gate.

Along the way, Richard not only imparted his profound knowledge to her, but also told her a lot about chiffon cakes.

She thought she was mentally prepared for the fact that Qi Feng had several hundred cavalry and several thousand extraordinary soldiers.

But when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still speechless with astonishment. This scale was already comparable to the Wolf Legion!

She was curious, but mostly delighted.

Throughout the entire Northern Territory, few lords could muster such a legion; he had gone even further than she had imagined!

Nia followed behind, her whole body tense.

She had never left the Red Sand Territory in her life. The eastern part of the territory was extremely hot and water was scarce, making it unsuitable for human habitation.

The few thousand people she had ever met were the majority of the people in Chisha.

However, the sight of more than two thousand imposing and valiant soldiers lined up here was an eye-opener for her!

However, she dared not look around, and tried her best to straighten her back, afraid of doing something that would embarrass the master in this situation.

Before she arrived, she had consulted Lord Anthony extensively about the rules that maids should follow.

Avril slid off the unicorn, the wool blanket still wrapped around her.

She looked up at the thick city wall, which was over ten meters high, and had only one thought in her mind: May the Goddess of Light protect her.

How could they possibly escape?

Ugh!

She tiptoed forward, trying to catch up with Nia, and called out softly, hoping she would untie the wool blanket from her body.

Unfortunately, Nia's attention was drawn to the scenery in the city; her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of amazement!

A wide stone-paved avenue leads straight into the heart of the city, with chrysanthemums and cornflowers in full bloom in the flowerbeds on both sides.

There were also roses, wild roses, lilies and other precious flowers, growing in clusters, like a spilled palette of bright paint.

Behind the flowerbeds were rows of neat two-story stone houses, their exterior walls painted off-white and light yellow, with various potted plants on the windowsills.

The road was clean and tidy, without a single fallen leaf in sight, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, mixed with the unique freshness of autumn.

At the corner of the city stands a giant tree over twenty meters tall, with a dense canopy and a wooden spiral staircase wrapped around its trunk. The sign for the treehouse bar is faintly visible among the branches.

Freya suddenly remembered her childhood, in the garden of Wolf's Lair, when Richard was still very young, sitting on a swing, swinging his legs, and saying in a serious tone, "Sister, there must be a very beautiful dream city in this world, and I want to find it when I grow up!"

This remark made both her and Wendy laugh so hard they couldn't stand up straight. They thought Richard had watched too many boring operas, which was why he had such unrealistic ideas.

She touched his head and said:

Okay, once you find it, your sister and Wendy will be your housekeepers.

Now, standing in this city, looking at the flowers all over the streets and the stone houses painted in light colors, she felt a deep sense of emotion.

Almost everyone has dreamed about the future when they were young, but almost no one can stick to their original aspirations.

Richard actually took this to heart and worked hard to resolve it. He truly is my good younger brother!

Freya took a deep breath, swallowed the bitter taste that rose in her throat, and urged the unicorn to follow.

Richard was happy to be back in this familiar place. He led Freya and the others to the backyard of the city hall and into the Thousand Mile Pavilion.

Freya gazed at the empty, exotic wooden pavilion, somewhat puzzled. "Is this your castle? Why is it so empty?"

Richard gave a wicked smile, said nothing, and simply pointed to the sky.

He had been looking forward to taking his sister to Jian Ge and seeing her reaction in person for several days.

Just as Freya was about to say something, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes.

When she saw the scene before her, she felt a jolt of electricity run through her spine and across her entire body, leaving her frozen in place!

Even Nia and Avril were shocked, their mouths agape and their eyes wide, looking utterly incredulous!

Beneath your feet are solid yet surging white clouds, upon which a beautiful green garden floats!

Artificial hills and flowing water, a winding stone bridge, and a mirror-like pool in the clouds, with crystal-clear water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

What's even more incomprehensible is that deep within the garden, eight magnificent sword-shaped pavilions stand silently above the sea of ​​clouds!

The main pavilion is the tallest, with upturned eaves and copper bells hanging from the corners. When the wind blows, the clear and melodious sound of the bells echoes among the clouds.

Not far away, seven maids dressed in Lolita style stood with their hands clasped together.

Behind them were eight alien maids with long, snow-white rabbit ears on their heads, and more than fifty human maids.

These girls were all charming and beautiful, clearly carefully selected, and all dressed in uniform light-colored maid outfits.

Upon seeing Richard, all the maids bowed respectfully and said, "Congratulations, sir, on your safe journey and return!"

Upon seeing these girls, Freya finally snapped out of her shock and glanced at her good brother.

"Big brother was right after all, you really are a womanizer, huh!"

Richard ignored his sister's teasing, opened his arms wide, and strode towards Lina.

"I've missed you all so much! Come here, let me give you all a good hug!"

At this moment, all the chaos in the Eastern Territory, the conspiracies of the Holy War Alliance, and the shady dealings between the royal family and the papacy can go to the side!

Who cares what's wrong with the world? Living your own life well is the most important thing.

No morning court session unless there's a specific reason!
