Chapter 1047 (1/2)
Along this man-made mountain path in the southwest mountains of Angola, it is the black swan castle, one of the five famous castles in the southern continent.
The castle is built on the hillside of the mountain, with an altitude of more than 500 meters. The terrain of the castle is built close to the mountain. Basically, more than two-thirds of the castle area is in the middle of the mountain. But the castle is not famous for defense, so it wasted a lot of geographical advantages that can be called unique. However, since the completion of the castle, except for one destruction in the hands of Athena, the black swan castle has never been destroyed due to war in the kingdom of dabion. Later, after Sean took over, he also invested a lot of materials and manpower to rebuild it for many times, which finally restored the glory of the castle in the past.
The mountain path to the castle is much smoother than when Sean left before, and even stone ladders are built to facilitate passers-by's walking.
Sean went up the stairs and watched silently all the way.
He did not expect that he had only left for a year, and the black swan castle had changed so much.
If the black swan castle has this change, then needless to think, the whole void principality must have undergone earth shaking changes.
Along the way, young dignitaries in other aristocratic costumes continued to descend from the direction of the black swan castle. These people are surrounded by followers of different strength levels, but they are basically at the level of the golden realm. It seems that they have never met anyone in the holy realm except a few in the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain and the followers around the brown haired young man just now.
Sean can't believe why these guys are so honest.
According to his understanding of the regional customs of the southern continent, the strong in the holy land can basically walk across the southern continent. Except for the old powers and empires, the southern continent rarely meets the legendary strong. After all, the southern continent suffered the most heavy losses in the two wars of underground world invasion. Therefore, if you want to completely recover, it can not develop overnight.
Of course, these situations are also deeply related to the fact that people in the southern continent generally prefer to enjoy.
At this time, Cecilia, located in the black swan castle, was running out of the study in a panic, and then hurried to the gate of the black swan castle. Behind her was Diana, who was also a little reserved. She dared to encourage Cecilia to open the black swan castle, but she didn't dare to face Sean too much.
After negotiating with hassas, they went back to the study to discuss some overall issues. Cecilia will be responsible for the bottom line of these transactions, and Diana will deal with other details when negotiating with hassas. However, it was not long before the discussion began that someone from the void dark blade came to report that Sean had returned, accompanied by three young people and a child.
Although she didn't know the identity of the other three and the child, when she heard that Sean came back, Cecilia immediately gave up all her affairs and hurried to the gate of the castle. Originally, she wanted to clear the site and drive away all the visitors in the castle, but looking at the time, it was almost the end of the visit, so Cecilia didn't do anything extra.
But seeing Cecilia's eagerness, there was no empty shadow bodyguard on duty in the castle. Naturally, she was as nervous as a great enemy and rushed out.
Because of the expansion of the shadow guards of the void, the black swan castle could not accommodate so many people. Therefore, military barracks and related defense facilities were built in the town at the foot of the mountain. Today's void shadow guards are divided into three teams. Each team is responsible for the guard work of the black swan castle for a week, and the remaining two teams are responsible for the daily patrol and public security of the town at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, the teams in the ancient castle also have a shift system. There are three shifts every day, and about 30 people stand guard in one shift - in the past, it used to take at least 80 people to be in charge of the castle, and even about 160 people have to be reinforced in special times. Therefore, the early guard barracks of black swan castle were built outside the castle. However, with the visit and opening of black swan castle, military barracks were built at the foot of the mountain in order to pursue beauty.
At this time, more than 30 people who were supposed to be on the night shift and more than 30 people who were ready to rest after dinner hurried to put on the armor they had just removed and ran out of the lounge.
Those nobles who had not had time to leave also ran out with a curious face. They want to know what happened to the black swan castle, which made Cecilia look so flustered - many people here have stayed here for a long time, at least four or five months. If it wasn't for the emergence of hassas, it would be them who bothered Cecilia, So they had never seen Cecilia look like this.
Cecilia had never made such a big noise. By the time she found out, the situation had become a little delicate.
If there were no ”guests”, Cecilia would certainly let the guards back, because it was not a big thing at all - Sean never did these extravagant and high-profile actions. But now there are more than ten guests and their entourage present, so Cecilia naturally can't let these bodyguards go back to rest. In front of outsiders, she must maintain Sean's Archduke status anyway.
So Cecilia quickly lined up all the bodyguards on both sides of the city gate.
Although the number of guards of the shadow of the void is not large, only about 60 people, but their equipment is the best in the whole void principality. Basically, as long as it is slightly damaged, they can apply to the military workshop for replacement - after all, this team is the pro guard founded by William for Sean, so the image project still needs to be done. It is precisely because of these many rich rewards that every void shadow bodyguard is a carefully selected member. Their quality and strength can be said to be the best and strongest among the legions of the same level.
At this time, under Cecilia's arrangement, more than 60 void shadow guards stood in two teams, each with his head high and chest high. Coupled with their bright and clean armor and shields, the spirit of this army was bright in front of many nobles on the spot. A powerful momentum belonging only to the elite is emanating from these soldiers, and then gathered together, just like a terrible spiritual authority pervading the whole audience.
Among these bodyguards, Cecilia is standing in the direction of the main gate of the city gate.
Diana, a step behind Cecilia, made her priorities clear.
As a figure slowly appeared on the horizon of the mountain road ahead, Cecilia's slightly nervous look gradually calmed down.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a happy smile appeared on Cecilia's face. She folded her hands and put them gently on the hem. The whole person looked elegant and calm. There was a breeze blowing gently and rolled up her hair and dress. At this moment, Cecilia looked particularly dazzling in the crowd. Almost all the eyes of the audience focused on her. They had never seen Cecilia show this charming smile from her heart.
Everyone followed Cecilia's eyes and looked to the end of the mountain road ahead.
Sean is slowly stepping up the stone ladder.
