Oldcairn.
Northcrest.
The north gate of Oldcairn was open, allowing the family members of House Archibald to arrive. Norman led the group in the saddle, followed by Geoffrey and Violet behind him.
The ruling House Theobald in Oldcairn was lined up neatly in the town centre. They immediately knelt and saluted when House Archibald's entourage arrived.
House Archibald and its 15,000 troops arrived earlier than the troops from other houses. That's why the treatment from Theobald was more special.
"Welcome, My Lord, to my humble city," greeted Noah Theobald, the leader of House Theobald.
Norman was silent as he nodded. Oldcairn was indeed an old town, almost as old as Wintercrest.
However, the policy of the rulers of Northcrest for hundreds of years was that Oldcairn was only a small town to be led by a small house.
