Chapter 44: City
We are now currently moving towards the City of Sandon. Brandon and his soldiers will be acting as the Guides for us. We are expecting to arrive at noon tomorrow. We are using the newly produced 'Elk Bus'. These are larger carriages that can carry up to 20 people inside. We are using 4 elks for each Vans for its mobility. Basically, it is like a larger sleigh with the interior of a Bus. The materials used to build this was Crimson Wood and Red iron so it is sturdy but also light enough to be pulled by the elks. We are currently using 3 elk buses to carry the supplies and the people inside.
Bubba and 2 other harpies will also be with us as scouts and messengers. The 25 soldiers I brought are from different towns. 5 elite soldiers were selected by each leader. We did not bring soldiers from Hanel Town since they are not experienced enough. The five soldiers I selected are Iman, Poch, and three other elves. The five experts we are bringing are from the food industry that was selected by Mayor Sais and Chief Well. Just like I said earlier we also brought with us the prisoners from Sandon. King is also with us running outside with the elks.
After a whole day of travel, we decided to settle in a destroyed village. Mayor Wiro and I cooked our dinner for the night while I assigned Poel and the other soldiers to guard the perimeter. While cooking Mayor Wiro and I had a discussion.
"Chairman, what are your expectations for the City of Sandon?"
That is quite a question.
"I never really thought about it. I would say that I expect their city to be larger than ours. In terms of technology, I really don't know since from what I saw in their equipment in the war they are really are inferior compared to ours. What about you, mayor?"
"I don't know. What I do know is that I want to learn how did an independent human city became that powerful enough to stand on its own."
So Mayor Wiro wants to learn. I guess he wants to know since he is also a leader of a human town.
We then had our dinner. After dinner, I approached Poel.
"Poel, do you think that this meeting will be successful?"
Poel paused for a bit.
"Based on my thoughts sir, I believe that we are capable of reaching an agreement but it depends on the attitude of our counterparts. If they are stubborn then that would be hard sir, but I have a strong belief that you will be able to pull this off through your abilities sir."
"Thanks, Poel."
Just as expected. Poel had the same thoughts as mine. It really depends on the King of Sandon City. What is he like? Is he kind? Is he intimidating? Is he wise or clever? I have so many questions but I decided that it is time to sleep for a long journey ahead of us.
It is now the next day and we are now continuing our journey. We are at a pace to arrive at noon just like what I planned. Along the way, we encounter interesting stuff such as small lakes, small rivers, small houses but what we mostly encounter are destroyed villages and houses. These are the places that my citizens lived in before. It angers me seeing these but I am trying to calm myself down.
After a long one and a half-day of travel, we can now see the sight of a huge gate with walls on the sides. Finally, we have arrived in the City of Sandon. Poel and Iman approached the guards at the gates to talk. We waited for a while to get an answer.
"Sir Wreck, we can now pass!"
As soon as the gate opened, we are welcomed with music. Loud Trumpet and Drum like sounds are in the air. There are also loud cheers.
"WELCOME TO THE CITY OF SANDON!"
A human in his thirties approached us with some soldiers at his back.
"Welcome Chairman Wreck of the Mudland Union. I am Krod, the King's personal assistant and I will be acting as your guide here in your stay in our city. Now let us first head to the castle to meet our King!" He cheerfully said.
"Thank you Krod. Please take care of us."
"Likewise Chairman."
Looks like this man is well-mannered and also cheerful.
As we move towards the castle, I gazed upon the buildings and establishments here in Sandon. They are all beautiful. Everyone seems cheerful as they welcome us. The buildings are well-designed. This is by far the best city I have ever visited in this world. Well, this is the first city I have ever visited anyways. People seem fine. If I never knew that this place just recently lost 2 consecutive wars I would have never known. This city seems well organized. Everyone seems fine. They all do not look like they are suffering in a shortage of food. Even the streets are clean.
After a while, we have now arrived in a huge building. It is about as large as the inner walls in our town. This looks like the castle.
"We have now arrived Chairman. We would like to lead your vehicles to a place for storage as I will personally guide you and your entourage to his Majesty."
As the soldiers park the elk buses, I and my companions head towards the Castle.
"Wow"
As soon as we entered, everyone reacted that way including myself. The interior of the castle is beautiful. The Portraits and Decorations are phenomenal. This is what I would expect in a castle. I wonder how much did they spend to build this giant building.
"Your castle is really wonderful sir Krod," Poel commented.
"Thank You, sir. Our king really likes to maintain everything to be beautiful and presentable."
He likes to make everything beautiful. I feel like that is quite an attitude. He sounds like a perfectionist.
We have now arrived right in front of a huge door. Krod knocked and then the door opened. The room inside looks like a dining area. Just like what I expected, this room is also pretty. There is a long table in the dining area.
"Chairman, please be seated at the chairs in the table. I shall call your majesty to notify your arrival."
"Alright."
Mayor Wiro, Poel, the experts, and I took our seats. Iman and the rest of the soldiers are not here with us to guard our buses which contains our belongings. They are also guarding Brandon and his soldiers. After about five minutes of waiting, the door has opened. Krod came in first, followed by some other humans. They all lined up near the door. I decided to stand and go near the door so that I can meet the King personally.
A human in his late twenties walks in. He is wearing fancy clothing. He has a very long red fur coat. He has a long gold staff in his hand, and he also has a gold crown in his head. This is the King.
"Greetings Chairman Wreck. I am King Trevo, the rightful ruler of the City of Sandon."
