Chapter 91: Alberto arrived in Barta
Alberto saw the great stone wall surrounding the capital of Britannia. He was amazed to see a twenty-five meter large structure built entirely by human labor.
He had thoughts about how long it would take them to build it, but he knew it would probably take years. He also started thinking about whether it was possible to destroy this wall using artillery.
Merchants, adventurers and travelers who saw the convoy avoided it. This is because they have never actually seen anything like this before. But they heard rumors that such vehicles cost a lot and only the Super rich and high rank royalty could ride in such cars.
For the common man, it was better to avoid the nobility than to start an argument with them. They all knew how dangerous elites could be when angry.
Alberto looked at the line of horse-drawn carriages and the people walking.
Alberto saw people wearing armor and carrying various weapons, he saw people in robes carrying a staff, as well as people wearing leather armor carrying bows and knives. He already had the impression that these people were adventurers.
"It's really another world, just like the fantasy novels I read in the library. It would be fun if I become an adventurer in this world. Going places, conquering dungeons, meeting new people along the way."
Their convoy halted as a long line of various people drew up in front of it.
These men looked at the horseless carriages, the murmurs of the people being heard through the open windows of their vehicles.
The driver of the lead vehicle, which was a Ratel IFV(Infantry fighting vehicle), saw men on horseback approaching them. Seeing this, the driver immediately asked the man next to him to radio the entire convoy. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
The men on horseback stopped as soon as they reached the position of their carriage. A rider dismounted from his horse and approached the carriage.
The man is a little doubtful that he should approach this vehicle, as he thought that the Ratel is some kind of beast.
But even so, he had to obey his commander's orders.
When he is about a meter away from the Ratel, the driver's door immediately opened, surprising him as he fell onto his ass as he thought the beast is about to attack him.
But instead he is greeted inside by a man dressed in black.
Then the man asked him
"Have you any business with us, Sir?"
"Umm.... Yes, we want you and your group to follow us. The Queen has instructed us to bring you to the palace."
"Okay, but you have to wait a bit, we will inform our group about this."
The driver got back into the car, closed the door and immediately asked the man next to him to tell the convoy about it.
A few minutes later, the door of the Ratel opened immediately and the driver told the guard.
"We're ready to go, can you show us the way?"
The guard immediately jumped on his horse. A group of guards on horseback immediately moved towards the city, the convoy followed them.
The convoy approaches the palace. Where they met the knights lined up in a straight line.
Holding their swords and pointing to the sky, they greeted the guests arriving in their country.
Alberto appreciated the Queen's warm reception on his arrival. He was very surprised how the knights were standing straight even with such heavy armors.
As the convoy pulls up to the entrance of the palace, the driver's side door of the ETTV opens and a man in a suit steps out.
The man then opened the rear passenger door and Alberto got out.
Alberto sees a beautiful woman walking towards them. Beside him is a Knight and an old man.
Alberto sees her and realizes that she is Queen Maria. Who wears a crown studded with diamonds and emeralds on her head.
"Welcome our dear guest Emperor Alberto."
"Thank you for the warm welcome, I really appreciate it, even though it's my first visit."
"You have come from a long way, so why don't you join us tonight for a feast? Let me know if you need anything. Hospitality is one of our greatest achievements."
"Now that you have said that, Queen Maria, may I ask you something. It is very important."
"Of course! You are an important guest in this country."
"Could you allow my helicopter to enter this city's airspace? My air force security team was very reluctant to enter with the wyvern patrolling your skies."
"Don't worry, I will tell my soldiers about this. You can ask them to come in half an hour."
Queen Maria immediately asked an armored man standing beside her to order the city's wyvern corps to allow Imperial Air security team into the city's airspace.
After that Queen Maria turned her attention to Alberto.
"I am sure that your people are very tired after this journey. You can rest in the Hollow palace that we have reserved for you, and Emperor Alberto, as a guest, I have reserved one of our guest rooms for you. However, we would like to have some conversation with you in the conference room after your rest, what do you think about this?"
"Of course, Your Majesty."

Alberto was taken to a large room, he even thought it might be bigger than his room in the palace. The room was elegant and truly fit a medieval fantasy world.
The windows were made of stained glass but were of poor quality. It appears that there is more metal than glass used here, Alberto realized this because glass was not easy to produce in the medieval age.
Alberto looked at the huge bed with beautiful carvings. A chandelier that appears to be made of gold hangs from above, providing light to the room.
Alberto immediately fell on the bed to feel how soft it was. But it wasn't as soft as his bed in the palace.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Alberto immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
