A few days later, the newly-appointed Regiion, Elliott, arrived with 1,000 cavalrymen Rody handed over the military affairs to hi with Gordon and the Imperial Guards, back to the Imperial Capital
Regi to Sieg, when Elliot was a Deputy Commander of the Central Cavalry, he was not corrupted However, he was not outstanding He did not offend anyone or reedy forpower
Rody sighed The Northwest Region needed a person as resolute and vigorous in executing policies This was to ensure that all of the corruption could be rooted out Elliot did not seem to be such a person
However, Elliot was said to be very familiar with ht in a war Reuenthal was also not able to fight in a war as the two princes of Great Moon Kingdo an internal strife for power and authority Elliot caion of the E as Elliot did not make mistakes
The only thing that annoyed Rody was that Jojo would be following hinored hio in Watt Fortress However, on the way back, Jojo had returned to her usual self and began to approach Rody again
The situation when they returned to the Iiment Commander Elliott had dom had already dispatched an envoy to otiations Both parties had also held back their ardom had sent one of their Princes to Empire's capital as a show of sincerity Due to this, everybody was more relaxed on the journey back compared to the last tiht
Jojo had dispatched her bodyguards twice to invite Rody to board her carriage With a flushed face, the terrified Rody told his bodyguards to refuse Jojo's invitation He gave the excuse that a high-ranking military officer should not leave without per
Jojo was filled with hate but she wasblack robed woman left, her heart was at peace Jojo believed that it would not be difficult to recapture her lover's heart with her status and beauty After half a day went by, Jojo was unable to hold back any longer She told her bodyguard to bring her a horse, and then she left the carriage She rushed to Rody's side and rode beside him
In the military, a person without fixed duties was not allowed to approach high-ranking military officers so easily But Miss Jojo's status hness the Empress's sister and was a special envoy sent by Emperor She also seemed to have an undetermined relationshi+p with the duke Which idiot was brave enough to stop her? Even Gordon iave an excuse to escape to another side
Fortunately, they were surrounded by people during the march and Jojo did not dare mention any private matters She siion Rody was helpless and could only cope by responding with a few sentences When he talked about themoments, Jojo was afraid She turned deathly pale as she coazed at Rody gently When she thought of her lover ent through a life and death situation in the Northwest region, she was distressed, but she also felt happy
Soon, it was noon and Jojo started to sweat Rody could not bear to see the sweet and lovely Jojo exposed under the sunlight as she followed thee Jojo felt happy when she saw Rody finally caring for her and obediently returned to the carriage
Previously, when Rody went on the expedition, he and the army had marched rapidly and used narrow paths As a result, they had arrived at Watt Fortress within three days This ti for five days
They gradually entered deeper into the Empire's territory and further away froes and toere peaceful and serene It did not have the vast, chaotic and ruined scenery in the Northwest region Rody sighed and thought to himself
If Watt fortress did not block Reuenthal's army in the Northwest, could these people enjoy peace?
On the sixth day of the journey, they arrived at Westwood province After another five days, they would be out of the Westwood province and arrive at the Imperial Capital They had a safe and pleasant journey Everyone was feeling relaxed During the war in the Northwest region, the Central Cavalry had accomplished their mission remarkably It was considered as a victorious battle and everyone would be granted a rehen they returned to the Imperial Capital As a result, everyone was at ease
However, only Rody did not look cal the way, he had never turned around to look north However, he constantly thought of the black robed woman He knew that the further north he traveled, the further away he would be from the south
They arrived in the capital city of the Westwood province, West Hill City, that evening Rody commanded the army to station and rest outside the city The local officers of West Hill City had requested to visit Rody, but Rody ordered his subordinates to refuse
During the journey, they had passed by a few cities and towns Most of the local officers knew that the E triu to curry favor They constantly had banquets, and even the local aristocrats were sticking around like flies Rody had tried to cope with it for two days, but after that, he could not stand it anyy with the food and drinks The military officers distributed them to the rest of the army
The soldiers were all happy They felt that if they followed the duke, they would be able to win battles and have an unlimited amount of meat and wine They wished to return to the Empire's capital as soon as possible so that the duke could be promoted as the Commander-in-chief of the Central Cavalry
The soldiers had driven away the local officers Rody had just sat dohen Jojo came to hih they had passed by a few cities and towns, the West Hill City was the largest city in the Westwood province It was also the largest city in the northern area of the Empire
Rody was very annoyed by Jojo He ordered a few bodyguards to put on civilian clothing, and he walked out of the military camp with Jojo
The West Hill City was definitely the largest city of the North Even though there was a war in the Northwest region, the city was still peaceful The city streets were bustling with a lot of , the businesses were still boo, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets It looked peaceful, with the exception of a group of public security soldiers alked around the city They were heavily armed which caused some nervous tension
Rody walked together with Jojo Jojo happily looked around the city excitedly, but Rody was not interested at all Finally, Rody took Jojo to a restaurant by the roadside to rest
After ordering the food, Rody relaxed, only to hear the guests around hiion There were numerous victorious battle stories: The Duke of the Tulip Fa defeat The Great Moon Kingdom had suffered heavy losses and Reuenthal was terrified
Some people even said that the duke's arainst Reuenthal for one day and one night They said that the duke utilized the Tulip Fa Dreadful Golden Lightning Slashâ in the end The duke had allegedly severed the head of Reuenthal's horse with his sword After Reuenthal fell off his horse, he koed and admitted his defeat After that, he took his arrasslands
Rody almost spat when he heard the rumors He felt that the rumors were ridiculously funny Rody did not consider the war at the Northwest region to be a victory On top of that, Reuenthal was absolutely not defeated This happened because Rody had successfully raided Reuenthal's army and disturbed the opponent's inner territories This had disrupted Reuenthal's plans and forced hiht in his homeland
Based on Reuenthal's ability, he would absolutely renew his power and authority As long as he crushed the opposition in the inner region, he would beco ould be inevitable
Jojo did not really care about the rumors, but she was very happy when she heard people co her lover However, she also felt so For exah a mountain with his sword His fierce roar could make tens of thousands of eneh when the rueous
