章 207: Chapter 206: The Wise Marshal Rox

On the fifth day of their journey, the army finally arrived at the largest courier station outside of the imperial capital. The personnel at the Courier station had already sent more people early and prepared enough delicacies and drinks to entertain these victorious returning soldiers.

Actually, it was noon when they arrived at the courier station. They were only four to five hours away from the imperial capital. The soldiers gritted their teeth. They could return to the imperial capital before nightfall, but in reality.., the emperor would usually not allow the soldiers to enter the city just like that.

Just like in previous years, the soldiers who returned from victory would usually rest outside for a day. They would eat and drink to their heart’s content, rest up, and wash up. Fortunately, they would be able to face the cheering crowd with their best spirits the next day, after all, a hero had to look like a hero!
