59 59. Arrival At Ram (1/2)
1800 hours the convoy has finally seen the gates of Ram. The guards stationed at the gates already expected the convoy to arrive, but they still showed a surprised face after seeing a lot of horseless carriages. It is also their first time seeing the big Iron carriage, which they were very amazed.
One guard even questioned his comrade, ” Hey do you have any idea on how something that big can move fast? ”
The guard replied to his comrade, ” Why are you questioning me I'm not smart and also definitely not a mage. ”
The people in the carriages and wagons, who were lining up for entering the gate, immediately turned their eyes to the convoy. They were amazed by the convoy of horseless carriages that it made them think that a very powerful,wizard or sorcerer might be visiting the city for the festival.
One of the passengers of a wagon spoke about the rumors that he heard, ” Those carriages might be from the new country that I heard about. I heard rumors about them forming an alliance with this country, so maybe they have those big carriages carrying a tribute to the king. ”
Another one spoke his opinion, ” Maybe those are just merchants who are able to hire a powerful mage on his caravan, and he decided to set up business here during the festival. ”
The wagon became noisy after the passengers stared to give their opinions on what the carriages really were about.
The convoy was let in immediately by the guards that were stationed at the gates, every guard that was on duty that day, wanted to know the reason why there are a lot of big horseless carriages arriving, some of the guards asked their superiors but their questions were not answered.
The lead humvee where the commander was in spoke to his sergeant, ” Report to command that we have arrived at the destination. ”
He then picks up his radio and spoke, ” Everyone we will be meeting with the special forces in 15 minutes. ”
The convoy stopped at the roadside and all of the soldiers got put and stretched their bodies, after the long drive they did.
Many people on the streets have strange gazes at the newly arrived convoy. Everyone in the streets has mixed feelings about the soldiers, which they don't know we're literally soldiers, as they thought that they were mages because every single one of them was carrying an iron staff.
The people will call someone a soldier if they are wearing armor that may be made from leather or plate, it could also be made from iron. Another one is he is carrying a short sword a spear or a bow and arrow. The armor had the insignia of the army or the royal family's military.
But the people saw, were men in green with almost identical clothes, and we're ugly looking that if they were standing next to a knight they would look like servants of the knight.
The soldiers notice the gazes of the people but they just ignored their gazes, cause they already got used to it after all the towns they went, the people had the same gazes at them.
After a few minutes, a humvee came near the convoy and a member of the special forces got out to meet the platoon leaders.
The SF soldier went near the two-platoon commanders, and spoke,
” Second lieutenant Barks and Second Lieutenant Loretta, welcome to the Sirius. I will be leading you to your camp, please follow me. ”
