Here are the troops

Our group went through the gates and made our way through Vayne City.

Though we were being led by these guards that seemed respectful, it didn't seem like they wanted to talk to us.

So I took the initiative to ask, "It's our first time in Vayne City, can you tell us about a few of the specialties here?"

But the leader of these soldiers just shook his head and said, "Count Zwein, I'm sure that you don't want to waste any time with the current situation of the war. The duke is already waiting for you, so let's hurry over as soon as possible."

My entire group was taken aback when we heard this.

We looked at the leader with strange looks as if we were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not, but it seemed that he was indeed being serious.

So the only thing that I could do was nod in agreement and silently follow behind these soldiers.

At the same time, it seemed that they picked up the pace.
