33 Kapoti Town (1/2)

The sun slowly sank beneath the horizon, but the threads of sunlight still lingered in the air, mingling with the dark cloud as if accidentally left behind.

”Little brother Ling, we're only a few minutes away from Kapoti town.” Reminded Ma Tu as he was happily chatting with Ling Chen along the way.

They've been traveling for a whole day without taking a break, and now, they've finally going to make it to the first town of Sky Lion Kingdom where they could take a break and relax a bit.

Upon hearing Ma Tu's reminder, Ling Chen quickly tilted his head outside the window where he was able to see the huge city walls of the Town looming in his sight. The city walls were at least fourteen meters high and twenty meters thick.

It was Ling Chen's first time seeing a city wall or a town in his life. Ever since he was born, he had never stepped foot out of the Heavenly Demon Sect, even if he went out, he could only go to the mountains near the sect. As such, everything was new to him.

From afar, Ling Chen could see many carriages and people stopping at the entrance of the town.

Standing on both sides of the entrance were twenty guards. They all wore green robes which were like some sort guardsmen uniforms. Furthermore, each one of them was wielding a sharp sword in their hands.

Some of them just stood guards at the entrance while the others were responsible for checking the belongings of those entering the town and collecting taxes.

.....

On top of the city walls, one of the guards spotted the carriage of the Second Prince and his personal guards in the distance, and a look of shock appeared on his face as he shouted. ” Clear out the entrance and make way, the Second Prince is coming back.”

”Are these our Sky Lion kingdom army soldiers? Why didn't they have any flags? Who are they?.” asked the other guard.

”Stupid, don't you know anything? That's the Red Lion Guards, the personal guards of the second prince. Haven't you heard of their legend!”

”Go and quickly tell the Mayor that the Second Prince is back and clear out those damn mercenaries and merchants at the entrance to make way for them.”

As expected, with the arrival of the second prince and his guards marching towards the town, it immediately raised many alarms.

At the same time, the twenty guards that were guarding the entrance turned their heads to look at the distance after hearing their companion's shouts.

Seeing the luxurious carriage as well as the group of guards approaching the town, they quickly sprung in action as they started clearing out the entrance of the gate.

” Make way the second prince is coming.”

”Don't you fucking hear me, get that damn stinky horse out of here.”

In less than a few minutes, the town's guards cleared out every single person in front of the entrance, leaving a vast empty space in front of the gate.

In the meantime, fifty more guards came out inside the town added together with the other twenty guards, stood in an orderly fashion on both sides of the entrance.

Their lines stretched out to an estimated three hundred to four hundred meters long. The town's guards separated and created an open space for the second prince and his guards while preventing the people from the other side to do anything tricky.

Very quickly, the carriage of the second prince arrived at the entrance. And without stopping, they went straight inside the town without paying any taxes.

....

Inside the carriage, witnessing these scenes, Ling Chen wasn't the least bit surprised. Although he didn't know much about how the mortal world operated, he already knew that Yang Long's status in the Sky Lion Kingdom was similar to his status in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After entering the town, Ling Chen's eyes began to shine with excitement. It was his first in a town. The street was extremely spacious and was paved with marble.
