Chapter 162
They finally got close to Lion city after a month of travel . They were almost a day away from the city . The sun rose up in the morning . The sky was cloudless . Everyone packed their things to hurry into the Lion city .
However, it didn’t take long when they met a neatly arranged army in front of them . The army was armed with shields and swords and had an oppressive moment .
Some of the students got very scared . They had never been in a battlefield so they felt timid the moment they encountered such an army .
Nevertheless, they saw that the army wasn’t there to fight them . There was a large banner in front of the army . It was ten meters wide and hundred meters long .
A message was written on it: We welcome Lord’s wife Miss Lin Muxue to Lion territory . ”
The teachers of the Magic Academy and Knights Academy heard the noise outside the carriages so they got off . Lin Muxue went out of the carriage too . She was stunned when she saw the banner in front of the army .
“Firing Ceremony! Ready! Shoot!” A sound echoed and the rifles began to shoot afterwards whose sound reverberated in the field .
Second row of rifles fired when the echoed of the first shoots dissipated .
The army was following the etiquette used in the ancient times to welcome triumphant heroes or VIP guests . However, the rifles were lost in the ancient times and no one used them anymore . However, today this kind of welcome reception was just just for a girl .
The rifles were shot for 12 times which was the highest number according to the etiquette . This number of shots were made only when an ancient emperor was crowned or a commander with great meritorious service came back to the land .
Xiao Yu had more than enough dwarf riflemen so he didn’t care much about this .
“Line up . ” Raiders rushed to the front of the students after the rifles were shot .
The students exclaimed when they saw that Raiders weren’t humans but orcs . Moreover, front of the army that greeted them had 1000 orcs neatly arranged in a row . There were hunters and elf archers in the middle . In addition, there were Kodo beasts and dwarf riflemen holding their muskets .
What kind of line up was it? Orcs, Elves and dwarves!
Everyone was in a daze while 100 Raiders rushed to stop in front of them . They divided into two columns and neatly stood there . The orcs who ride the wolves roared and pulled out their swords . A wide corridor was made for Lin Muxue and Xiao Yu to pass through .
“A welcome ceremony?” Everyone came to understand the purpose of neatly arranged Raiders . In ancient times a corridor like this would be made for distinguished guests to pass . It showed the appreciation to the guests by the owners of the house . This ritual was still used during marriage of royal children . However, it would be either human cavalry or infantry that would be standing in columns . It was first time they had seen Raiders to stand in such a manner .
Lin Muxue was stunned too . Xiao Yu took her hand and they walked through the corridor . At the same time countless maids ran over to splash countless petals of flowers to pave the road for them . It was the ritual used when royal family married . However, even the royal family couldn’t get married in such a style . It was one of the most luxurious welcome ceremonies they would ever see .
Xiao Yu and Lin Muxue walked under the swords and over the flower petals . All the students and teachers of the Magic and Knights Academy looked at the ceremony with full envy . The girls were jealous and dreamed to have such a ceremony for themselves . The boys were ashamed and jealous . Which one of them could have such a ceremony when they got married? This scene would be left in their minds for eternity . The students who thought that they were noble magicians or noble knights withered down one by one .
Lin Muxue was full of shock . She felt as if she was the happiest woman in the world . Xiao Yu was doing everything for her sake . This showed that her position in Xiao Yu’s mind was very high . At the end of the corridor, Housekeeper Hong and five sister-in-laws met them .
They pushed Xiao Yu aside and began to chat with Lin Muxue . They praised her beauty and asked her to stay in Lion city for a few days . In addition, all of them gave her gifts . In a matter of seconds, Lin Muxue’s arms were full of them .
“We will ride the carriage . You are big boy now so ride a horse . ” Suesha looked at Xiao Yu and pointed towards a horse . Xiao Yu was perplexed but he thought that women would talk a lot so it was better for him to avoid this chatter . He got on a horse and waved the rest to move .
The grunts and orcs began to move while Kodo beasts followed them with the drums playing all the time . It was an extremely blood-boiling momentum . The Raiders stood behind the carriage as the convoy went towards the Lion city .
The students of the Magic and Knights Academy followed after the tail of the army . They looked like orphans .
“Did they say that Lion territory is in decline?”
“This momentum! Even the kings couldn’t have it . So many troops made of different races! How did he got them? Only the ancient nobles had such troops!”
“I thought that I had returned back to ancient times if I didn’t know what was happening from the start . ”
“Elves! The nobles elves are willing to follow him . Who the heck is this guy?”
“I heard that he got elves and orcs from the Ankagen mountains . We have come here so we can’t go back empty handed . We must get some elves and orcs as guards too . We will be noble magicians too!”
“Yes, having a human squire is too boring after this . A real magician has to be protected by orcs and elves!”
The students chatted as they moved on .
