Chapter 1064 -654: The Other Side Under the Starry Sky_1

The stars filled the sky, and the twin moons shone brightly.

A dazzling Milky Way hung faintly in the pitch-black night sky, like a colorful white ribbon adorned with jewels.

Under the beautiful moonlit night, a solemn scene unfolded.

Accompanied by the heavy rubbing of armor, patrol teams, surrounded by magic spheres, were on the move.

These fully armed soldiers had their broadswords unsheathed, and their sharp eyes hidden within their helmets vigilantly watched the slightest movements around them.

Next to the patrolling soldiers were rows of sharp large Abatis. The newly sharpened wood still gave off a fresh scent. Farther back were large wooden fences.

Under the illumination of the magic sphere, the grain of the sturdy fence was clearly visible, casting elongated shadows of sword-wielding hands.

Inside the fence, tall, makeshift wooden arrow towers were scattered, and the silhouettes of longbowmen carrying quivers could be seen faintly inside.

It was clearly visible that

both the wooden fence and the arrow towers had a faint magic flow light that flashed occasionally, indicating that they were coated with a special anti-magic coating that could resist low-level fire spells.

It was obvious that this was a temporary military camp converted from an ordinary village.

Stationed here was the Cavalry Corps of the Great Prince’s forces, used to contain the Second Prince’s vanguard.

In an unremarkable, low house in this heavily-guarded village, a faint glow of Light Crystal Stone shone through.

A tall, thin figure stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing out of the window.

Behind him stood several commanders in knight’s armor and boots, waiting respectfully.

“Sir Corps Commander, I just led a team to search the area again. Not only did we not see a single person in this furthest village of Cyan Town, but there was not a single grain left in the granaries. Their departure was clearly unhurried and orderly,”

A middle-aged Cavalry Captain who had just entered and brought mud on his shoe soles saluted the tall, thin figure and reported. “Sir, I have also checked the water sources around the small streams. The water is very clear, and there is plenty of grass fodder for our warhorses.”

“Very well. This time, we have made a rapid march with light equipment. We can still manage with the food we are carrying for a few more days, but we cannot be careless about the water and forage for our horses.”

The tall figure nodded slowly, still gazing at the night scene outside the window.

With the reflection of the window glass, the face of the tall figure became clearer.

He seemed to be about forty years old. On his prominent sallow face, no emotion could be detected. He was dressed in an extremely luxurious purple noble outfit.

Under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stone lamp, the shiny, high-quality silk fabric looked utterly out of place in the simple and unadorned room, as if they belonged to different worlds.

What caught the eye most was the shining horse-head emblem he wore on his chest.

Above the emblem was a golden stripe with four gold beads and four silver beads.

The one who could wear such a noble symbol of status was undoubtedly a Marquis with a transcendent status.

As the Captain had just mentioned, this man was the commander of the Cavalry Corps and one of the key figures of the forces loyal to the Great Prince in this area. He was the City Lord of Pentium City, Marquis Wens.

Pentium City was not far from Pinehaven City and had been famous for its elite cavalry since the Era of the Hero King. It had once been the most admired and the most exemplary knight city in Coldflame City.

However, with the passage of time and the increasing hidden struggles between the traditional nobles and the new nobles, the city began to decline. It lost its original chivalrous spirit and instead became the vanguard of those seeking to restore serfdom.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the loyalty of the Cavalry Corps to Pentium City; their combat power remained at a high level.

Although the cavalry no longer served to protect the weak, they had become the oppressor’s blade against the free farmers.

At that moment, Wens could see through the window a patrol passing by in the illumination of the magic sphere, reflecting the picturesque village streetscape surrounding it.

His gaze stretched over a clean, neat area, finding well-maintained infrastructure everywhere. No filthy ditches emitted foul odors and miserable huts were nowhere in sight.

“Sir Wens, it is evident that all the civilians have been evacuated to Cyan City,”

A middle-aged confidant in a blue robe stepped forward and reported, “According to the information gathered, after the New Lord of Cyan City took office, he extensively repaired and rebuilt the surrounding affiliated villages. Though it’s been a short time, the villages have changed dramatically.”

“Hmph! Pointless extravagance. These lowly people only need doghouses. There is no need to waste money on construction projects like this.”

Wens’ face turned cold, and he sneered, “Such indulgence towards the lowly people will inevitably put us in an increasingly unfavorable situation. This New Lord of Cyan City is truly a disgusting fellow.”

“Sir, you’re absolutely right. These lowly people need to be controlled by great traditional nobles like you.”

The middle-aged confidant bent over and flattered Wens before continuing, “I remember that the Former Lord of Cyan City, despite not coming from a traditional noble background, was already preparing to become our pawn. Unfortunately, that detestable fellow unexpectedly replaced him in the end.”
